Exhibit 99.1
| 2 |
To the Board of Directors of Complete Innovations Holdings Inc. & Complete Innovations USA Inc.
Opinion
We have audited the combined financial statements of Complete Innovations Holdings Inc. and subsidiaries and Complete Innovations USA Inc., (collectively, the “Company”), which comprise the combined balance sheets as of September 30, 2023 and 2022, and the related combined statements of earnings and retained earnings, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the combined financial statements (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”).
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises in Canada.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAS”). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the Company and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audits. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Emphasis of Matter
As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has prepared these financial statements, including Note 12, Reconciliation to United States generally accepted accounting principles, for regulatory filing purposes in accordance with Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises in Canada, which differs from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.
Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises in Canada, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year after the date that the financial statements are issued.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.
| 3 |
In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, we:
| ● | Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. | |
| ● | Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. | |
| ● | Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed. | |
| ● | Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements. | |
| ● | Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. |
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the audit.

Notes to the Combined Financial Statements
For the Years Ended September 30, 2023 and 2022
(expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted, except for amount per share)
| 1. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
| a. | Nature of business | |
| Complete Innovations Holdings Inc. and Complete Innovations USA Inc., collectively known as “Complete Innovations” or the “Company”, provide technology-based fleet, asset and mobile workforce monitoring and management solutions. | ||
| b. | Basis of accounting | |
| Complete Innovations has prepared combined financial statements in accordance with Canadian Accounting standards for private enterprises (“ASPE”). Complete Innovations has also prepared these combined financial statements, including Note 12, Reconciliation to United States generally accepted accounting principles, for regulatory filing purposes in accordance with Canadian ASPE. | ||
| c. | Basis of combination | |
| The combined financial statements of Complete Innovations include the accounts of Complete Innovations Holdings Inc. and Complete Innovations USA Inc. Complete Innovations Holdings Inc. includes the following wholly owned subsidiaries: |
| ● | Complete Innovations Inc.; | |
| ● | Fleet Complete Coöperatief U.A. and its wholly owned subsidiaries TC Beheer B.V., IT Mobile Spain S.L, Fleet Complete Netherlands B.V. and its wholly owned subsidiaries Fleet Complete Germany GMBH and Complete Innovations AE, and Fleet Complete Belgium BVBA. Fleet Complete Nordics OÜ and its wholly owned subsidiaries Fleet Complete Eesti ÖU, Fleet Complete Denmark ApS, Fleet Complete Norge AS, Fleet Complete Sverige AB, Fleet Complete Latvija SIA and Fleet Complete Lietuva UAB; | |
| ● | Fleet Complete Holdings Australia PTY Ltd. and its wholly owned subsidiary Fleet Complete Australia Pty Ltd.; and | |
| ● | Fleet Complete S. de RL de C.V. and its majority owned subsidiary Centro de Soluciones Inalámbricas, S.A. de C.V. |
Intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated upon combination and consolidation.
| d. | Foreign currency translation |
Foreign currency transactions are translated at the rates of exchange in effect at the dates of the transaction. Resulting foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the rates of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date. Gains and losses on translation of monetary assets and liabilities are included in net income.
Financial statements of foreign subsidiaries which are considered financially and operationally integrated with the organization are translated into Canadian dollars using the temporal method. Under this method, monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into Canadian dollars at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets are translated at the historical rate of exchange. Revenue and expenses are translated at the rate of exchange prevailing on the transaction date, except for amortization which is translated at exchange rates used in the translation of the relevant asset accounts. Gains and losses on translation are reflected in net income.

Notes to the Combined Financial Statements
For the Years Ended September 30, 2023 and 2022
(expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted, except for amount per share)
Financial statements of foreign subsidiaries which are considered financially and operationally self-sustaining with the organization are translated into Canadian dollars using the current rate method whereby assets and liabilities are translated at the rate of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date, and revenue and expense items are translated at the rate of exchange prevailing on the transaction date. The resulting exchange differences are classified as accumulated comprehensive loss in equity.
| e. | Inventory |
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value with cost generally determined on a first-in, first-out basis. Inventories are written down when it is determined that net realizable value is below cost. When the circumstances that previously caused inventory to be written down below cost no longer exist or when there is clear evidence of an increase in net realizable value because of changed economic circumstances, the amount of the writedown is reversed. The reversal is limited to the lesser of the amount of the original writedown and the current net realizable value. The amount of inventory recognized as an expense and included in cost of revenue was $19,876 (2022 - $18,853).
| f. | Deferred contract costs |
Costs consisting of hardware and installation are amortized on a straight-line basis over the expected life of the customer contract which was determined to be a period of 5 years. For contracts that are terminated before the term, the associated and unamortized deferred contract costs are expensed in the period of termination.
| g. | Property and equipment |
Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation based on the estimated useful lives of the assets is as follows:
| Computer equipment | 20-25% | |
| Leasehold improvements | term of lease | |
| Office equipment | 20% | |
| Vehicle | 20% |
| h. | Intangible assets |
Intangible assets with an indefinite life are not amortized. They are tested for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that their carrying amount exceeds their fair value. The impairment test consists of a comparison of the fair value of the unamortized assets with their carrying amount. When the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to the excess. Trade name acquired from BigRoad Incorporated is considered indefinite life.
Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the assets as follows:
| Customer relationships | 3 – 10 years | |
| Technology | 3 – 5 years | |
| Trade names | 2 – 15 years | |
| Computer software | 1 – 5 years |

Notes to the Combined Financial Statements
For the Years Ended September 30, 2023 and 2022
(expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted, except for amount per share)
| i. | Goodwill |
Goodwill is an asset that represents the future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired in a business combination that are not individually identified and separately recognized. Goodwill is not amortized. Goodwill is tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the fair value of the reporting unit to which the goodwill is assigned may be less than its carrying amount. The Company determined that the reporting unit is the consolidated business.
| j. | Impairment of long-lived assets |
The Company monitors events and changes in circumstances which may require an assessment of the recoverability of its long-lived assets. If required, the Company would assess recoverability using estimated future undiscounted operating cash flows. If the carrying amount of an asset is not recoverable, an impairment loss is recognized in operations, measured by comparing the carrying amount of the asset to its discounted cash flow value.
| k. | Revenue recognition |
Revenue from subscription and maintenance contracts is recognized over the term of the contract when collection is reasonably assured. Amounts paid for contracts in advance of the services being provided are recorded as deferred revenue.
Revenue from the sale of hardware and software products is recognized when the goods are delivered to the customer and collection is reasonably assured.
Revenue from licenses is recognized upon customer access to the subscribed software application over the terms of the license period. Revenue from warranty services is deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the warranty period.
The Company also enters into sales that may involve the delivery of multiple products and services. As appropriate, these multiple element arrangements are separated into their component accounting units, consideration is measured and allocated amongst the accounting units based upon their relative fair values (derived using Company-specific objective evidence) and then the Company’s relevant revenue recognition policy is applied to the accounting units.
| l. | Stock based compensation |
The Company grants common stock options to its employees and officers under its stock option plans. Stock based compensation plans are accounted for on a fair value basis.
The fair value of each option is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
Stock based compensation costs, measured at grant date based on the fair value of all options granted and recognized over the service period involved, are recorded as expenses on the income statement and credited to contributed surplus. The consideration paid by employees upon exercise of the options and the fair value of the options exercised are added to share capital.

Complete Innovations
Notes to the Combined Financial Statements
For the Years Ended September 30, 2023 and 2022
(expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted, except for amount per share)
The Company estimates expected forfeitures, if any, at each reporting period such that on a cumulative basis, the cumulative expense recognized reflects the number of equity instruments that are expected to vest. Where no forfeitures were expected, actual forfeitures are accounted for as they occur by adjusting the stock-based compensation cost to reflect the number of options that are expected to vest.
From time to time, the Company makes amendments to its stock option grants. For amendments to both vested and non-vested options that meet the definition of a modification of an option, the incremental fair value between the original option and the modified option are treated as an expense over the vesting period of the modified option.
| m. | Income taxes |
The Company applies the future income taxes method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, future income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Any change in the net amount of future income tax assets and liabilities is included in income. Future income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on enacted or substantively enacted tax rates and laws which are expected to apply to taxable income for the years in which the assets and liabilities will be recovered. Future income tax assets are recognized when it is more likely than not that they will be realized.
| n. | Leases |
Leases are classified as capital or operating leases. A lease that transfers substantially all of the benefits and risks incidental to the ownership of property is classified as a capital lease. At the inception of a capital lease, an asset and an obligation are recorded at an amount equal to the lesser of the present value of the minimum lease payments and the property’s fair value at the beginning of the lease. Assets recorded under capital leases are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, which is the estimated useful life of the assets.
All other leases are accounted for as operating leases wherein rental payments are expensed on a straight-line basis. The amount by which straight-line rental expense and any inducements received exceeds the minimum rents paid in accordance with the lease agreement is included in deferred rent.
| o. | Financial instruments |
Financial instruments are recorded at fair value when acquired or issued and subsequently measured at cost or amortized cost less impairment, if applicable. Financial assets are tested for impairment when changes in circumstances indicate the asset could be impaired. Transaction costs on the acquisition, sale or issue of financial instruments are charged to the financial instrument for those measured at amortized cost.

| p. | Use of estimates |
The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with ASPE requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include the amortization period of long-lived assets, stock-based compensation, fair values of acquired intangible assets and assessing indicators of impairment of long-lived assets and goodwill. Actual results could differ from management’s best estimates as additional information becomes available in the future.

Principal repayments over the next five years are as follows:
| 2024 | 2,806 |
| 2025 | 1,848 |
| 2026 | 196,804 |
On December 16, 2020, the Company refinanced its credit facilities for a five-year term. The terms of all credit facilities as at September 30, 2023 are unchanged from September 30, 2022 and the Company is in compliance with all covenants. The facilities include the following:
Term credit facility
A $164,000 (2022 - $164,000) term credit facility bearing interest at either the Canadian Dollar Offered Rate (“CDOR”), to be no less than 1.00%, plus the applicable rate of 6.75% for CDOR loans, or the highest of i) the CIBC prime rate or ii) 30-day CDOR plus 1.00%, plus the applicable rate of 5.75% for Canadian base rate loans. Prior to the Financial Covenant Toggle Date (“FCTD”), if the LQA (Last Quarter Annualized) recurring revenue leverage ratio is greater than 1.00 to 1 but less than 1.25 to 1 then the applicable rate for CDOR loans is 6.50% and the applicable rate for the Canadian base rate loan option is 5.50%, or if the LQA recurring revenue leverage ratio is less than 1.00 to 1 then the applicable rate for CDOR loans is 6.25% and the applicable rate for the Canadian base rate loan option is 5.25%.
At the earlier of the Company’s option or December 16, 2023, (the “FCTD”), the interest rates are determined in accordance with the total leverage ratio. If the total leverage ratio is greater than 5.00 to 1 then the applicable rate for CDOR loans is 6.25% and the applicable rate for the Canadian base rate loan option is 5.25%. If the total leverage ratio is greater than 4.00 to 1 but less than 5.00 to 1 then the applicable rate for CDOR loans is 6.00% and the applicable rate for the Canadian base rate loan option is 5.00%, or if the total leverage ratio is less than 4.00 to 1 then the applicable rate for CDOR loans is 5.75% and the applicable rate for the Canadian base rate loan option is 4.75%. The Company exercised its option to set the FCTD at March 31, 2023 and must now maintain a leverage ratio of 6.00 to 1 on a quarterly basis.
Effective June 28, 2024, all tenors of the CDOR rate will no longer be published and it is expected that the Canadian Overnight Repo Rate (“CORRA”) will replace all CDOR-linked products.
Principal repayments on this facility are as follows: $410 repayable in quarterly installments beginning on the first full fiscal quarter following the FCTD, which was October 2023, with the remainder repayable on the maturity of the facility on December 16, 2025.
As at September 30, 2023, the amount outstanding under this facility is $164,000.
Deferred Draw Term Loan (“DDTL”) facility
A $20,800 (2022 - $20,800) DDTL credit facility accessible until June 16, 2022, bearing interest at either the CDOR, to be no less than 1.00%, plus the applicable rate of 6.75% for CDOR loans, or the highest of i) the CIBC prime rate or ii) 30-day CDOR plus 1.00%, plus the applicable rate of 5.75% for Canadian base rate loans. Draws are subject to a $5,000 minimum and compliance with current covenants.

For the Years Ended September 30, 2023 and 2022
(expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted, except for amount per share)
The DDTL facility is not a revolving credit facility and payments of principal on the DDTL may not be redrawn. Principal repayments on this facility are as follows: $52 repayable in quarterly installments beginning on the first full fiscal quarter following the FCTD with the remainder repayable on the maturity of the facility on December 16, 2025.
Beginning on March 17, 2021, the undrawn portion of the DDTL facility was subject to a ticking fee of 1.00% per annum.
As at September 30, 2023, the amount outstanding under this facility is $20,800 (2022 - $20,800).
Revolving credit facility
Revolving credit facility with availability of a maximum revolver facility of $30,000, bearing interest at either the CDOR, to be no less than 1.00%, plus the applicable rate of 4.5% for CDOR loans, or the highest of i) the CIBC prime rate or ii) 30-day CDOR plus 1.00%, plus the applicable rate of 3.5% for Canadian base rate loans.
A standby fee is charged on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility of 0.5% per annum. This fee will reduce to 0.375% per annum if, prior to the FCTD the LQA recurring revenue leverage ratio is less than 1.25 to 1 or, after the FCTD the total leverage ratio is not greater than 5:00 to 1.
The credit facilities are secured by the Canadian Guarantee and Security Agreement and the US Guarantee and Security Agreement covering all the assets of the Company and assignment of its interest in all property.
The credit facilities also require the Company to maintain, prior to the FCTD, a minimum liquidity of at least $10,000 and an LQA recurring revenue leverage ratio of 2.00 to 1 from March 31, 2021 to December 31, 2021, 1.80 to 1 from March 31, 2022 to December 31, 2022 and 1.65 to 1 from March 31, 2023. Following the Company’s option to set the FCTD at March 31, 2023, the Company must now maintain a leverage ratio of 6.00 to 1 on a quarterly basis. The revolver is repayable on the maturity of the facility on December 16, 2025.
As at September 30, 2023, the amount outstanding under this facility is $15,700 (2022 - $8,600).

No further options will be granted under the Legacy Plan. Options are granted under the 2019 Plan at the discretion of the Board of Directors at exercise prices determined by the Board of Directors that is generally equal to the fair market value of the underlying shares on the date of grant. In general, for options granted under the 2019 Plan, 50% of the options shall vest in accordance with time-based conditions and 50% of the options shall vest in accordance with both performance-based and time-based vesting conditions. Time-based vesting under the Legacy Plan is 25% at the first anniversary of the vesting commencement date and the remaining will vest at 1/48 on the last day of each month through the fourth anniversary of the vesting commencement date. Time-based vesting under the 2019 Plan is 25% on each of the first four anniversaries of the grant date. The performance-vesting portion is subject to time and performance vesting and shall only be deemed fully vested to the extent it has both time-vested and performance-vested. Performance vesting options will vest immediately prior to and contingent upon the closing of a transaction based on the achievement of internal rates of return and multiples of invested capital metrics.
On July 28, 2022, the Board of Directors approved an option exchange program (the “Exchange Program”) for selected employees. Under the Exchange Program optionees exchanged all of their outstanding options under the 2019 Plan for a new grant of options under the 2019 Plan. These exchanges were treated as modifications and resulted in an expense in the prior year to stock-based compensation for $31.
Stock options expire no later than 10 years from date of grant.

The fair value of each option granted to directors, officers and employees is charged to operations over the vesting period and has been estimated at the date of grant using the Black Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions used:
| 2023 | 2022 | |||||||
| Share price | $ | 4.02 | $ | 3.83 | ||||
| Expected dividend yield | - | % | - | % | ||||

| Risk free rate of return | 4.1 | % | 0.71%-4.5% | |||||
| Expected option life | 5 years | 5 years | ||||||
Because no actively traded market existed for the Company’s common shares in these periods, expected volatility was determined by a review of the expected volatility factors disclosed by a sample of publicly available data for technology management solutions related companies of comparable size.
The following is a continuity of the stock-based compensation reserve included in contributed surplus for the year ended September 30, 2023:

| 9. | Financial Instruments, Capital Management and Financial Risks |
The Company’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk (including interest rate and foreign exchange rate risk). Risk management is carried out by the Company’s management team with guidance from the Audit Committee under policies approved by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors also provides regular guidance for overall risk management.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the other party by failing to discharge an obligation. The Company is exposed to credit risk resulting from the possibility that a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument default on their financial obligations; if there is a concentration of transactions carried out with the same counterparty; or of financial obligations which have similar economic characteristics such that they could be similarly affected by changes in economic conditions. The Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk relate primarily to cash and accounts receivable.
The Company provides credit to its customers in the normal course of its operations. As credit sales represent a significant portion of the Company’s sales activities, the Company limits its exposure to credit risk as the majority of the Company’s accounts receivable are monthly recurring payments from tier 1 North American telecommunications companies. See also Note 10.
The Company performed a provision analysis on its accounts receivable and recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts of $4,816 (2022 - $2,954).
Market risk
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company is exposed to interest rate risk with respect to its operating bank loans. The Company does not currently hold any financial instruments that might mitigate this risk. A change in interest rates of 100 basis points would increase/decrease cash interest by $2,005 (2022 - $1,934) per annum.
Foreign exchange risk
Currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company realizes a substantial portion of its sales and its cost of sales in US dollars, Euro, Australian dollars and Mexican Pesos. Consequently, certain assets and liabilities are exposed to foreign exchange fluctuations.
The Company undertakes certain transactions denominated in foreign currencies and as such is exposed to price risk due to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. The Company does not use derivative instruments to reduce exposure to foreign exchange risk.

| Accounts payable and accrued liabilities | M$ | 13,732 | M$ | 9,361 | ||||
| Exchange rate per MXP | 0.0784 | 0.0681 | ||||||
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company encounters difficulty in meeting its obligations associated with financial liabilities. Liquidity risk includes the risk that, as a result of operational liquidity requirements, the Company will not have sufficient funds to settle a transaction on the due date; will be forced to sell financial assets at a value which is less than what they are worth; or may be unable to settle or recover a financial asset. Liquidity risk arises from operating bank loans, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, other liabilities and commitments. The Company monitors its operating bank loans and cash flows available for when the loan is due. Due to the availability of the Company’s revolver facility as described in Note 5, management does not believe this represents a significant risk to the Company.

Notes to U.S. GAAP adjustments:
| a) | Operating leases |
In Complete Innovations combined financial statements, lease rentals related to operating leases were recognized in net earnings over the lease term on a straight-line basis. No assets or liabilities were recognized on the balance sheet.
Under U.S. GAAP, assets and liabilities are recognized on the balance sheet for the rights and obligations created by operating leases and the operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Deferred rent is not recognized separately from the right of use asset and lease liability, thus historical deferred rent was eliminated from the financial statements.
The following adjustments were made to the balance sheet:
As at September 30, 2023 | As at September 30, 2022 | |||||||
| Recognition of right-of-use asset | $ | 3,264 | $ | 4,188 | ||||
| Recognition of lease liability | (5,466 | ) | (6,978 | ) | ||||
| Reversal of deferred rent from other liabilities | 66 | 45 | ||||||
| Reversal (recognition) of accounts payable and accrued liabilities | - | 1,096 | ||||||
| Net impact to accumulated deficit | $ | (2,136 | ) | $ | (1,649 | ) | ||
The following adjustments were made to the statements of operations and deficit:
Year ended September 30, 2023 | Year ended September 30, 2022 | |||||||
| Reversal of historical lease expense under ASPE | $ | 1,572 | $ | 2,120 | ||||
| Reversal of lease impairment expense under ASPE | - | 1,096 | ||||||
| Recognition of lease expense under U.S. GAAP | (2,059 | ) | (2,241 | ) | ||||
| Recognition of lease impairment expense under U.S. GAAP | - | (2,350 | ) | |||||
| b) | Bundled sales |
In Complete Innovation’s combined financial statements, bundled agreements, which include subscription services to fleet management solutions, hardware and accessories, and installation, are identified as a single performance obligation in recognizing revenue. Consequently, the cost of the hardware transferred was being deferred as Deferred contract costs and amortized over the contract term (including anticipated contracts).
Under U.S. GAAP, hardware has been identified as a separate performance obligation that is satisfied at a point in time when control is transferred to the customer. Hence, hardware revenue is recognized when control is transferred to the customer, with a related contract asset, rather than deferring revenue over a period.
The following adjustments were made to the statements of operations and deficit:
Year ended September 30, 2023 | Year ended September 30, 2022 | |||||||
| Decrease in amortization of deferred contract costs (*) | $ | 12,745 | $ | 11,730 | ||||
| Increase in direct costs (*) | (9,169 | ) | (13,356 | ) | ||||
| Decrease (Increase) in revenue | 4,645 | (1,170 | ) | |||||
| Increase in selling, general and administrative expenses | (638 | ) | (2,919 | ) | ||||
| Increase in depreciation of property and equipment | (1,087 | ) | (806 | ) | ||||
* The adjustment represents impact of reversal of amortization of hardware costs deferred under ASPE and recognition of cost of hardware transferred as per US GAAP.
The following adjustments were made to the balance sheet:
| September 30, 2023 | September 30, 2022 | |||||||
| Derecognition of deferred hardware costs – current | $ | (10,059 | ) | $ | (10,516 | ) | ||

(expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted, except for amount per share)
| c) | Principal v. agent determination in contracts with customers |
Complete Innovations was identified as a principal in certain contracts with customers entered into through third party intermediaries under U.S. GAAP. Consequently, revenue was recognized at a gross amount that Complete Innovations expects to be entitled to for providing such goods and services and related agency commissions were recognized as commission expenses within selling, general and administrative expenses. This adjustment led to a gross-up of revenue and selling, general and administrative expenses by $22,513 for the year ended September 2023 and $22,421 for the year ended September 2022.
| d) | Costs to acquire contracts with customers |
In Complete Innovations combined financial statements, sales commissions were expensed as incurred.
Under U.S. GAAP, a contract cost asset is recognized for the incremental costs of obtaining the contract if an entity expects to recover those costs through future fees from the customers which is then amortized over the contract period, including anticipated contracts.
The following adjustments were made to the statements of operations and deficit:
Year ended September 30, 2023 | Year ended September 30, 2022 | |||||||
| Reversal of commission expense under ASPE | $ | 3,864 | $ | 3,942 | ||||
| Recognition of commission expense under U.S. GAAP | (4,192 | ) | (4,259 | ) | ||||
| Selling, general and administrative expenses (net impact) | $ | (328 | ) | $ | (317 | ) | ||
The following adjustments were made to the balance sheet:
As at September 30, 2023 | As at September 30, 2022 | |||||||
| Recognition of contract cost asset | $ | 10,184 | $ | 10,513 | ||||
| Impact to accumulated deficit | $ | 10,184 | $ | 10,513 | ||||
| e) | Warranties |
In Complete Innovations combined financial statements, warranties were expensed as incurred. No liabilities pertaining to warranties were recognized on the balance sheet.
Under U.S. GAAP, the estimated costs of an assurance-type warranty are generally recorded as a liability when the entity transfers the good or service to the customer. These estimates are derived from historical data and trends of costs of repairing and replacing defective products.
The following adjustments were made to the statements of operations and deficit:
Year ended September 30, 2023 | Year ended September 30, 2022 | |||||||
| Recognition of warranty expense under U.S. GAAP | $ | 87 | $ | - | ||||
| Selling, general, and administrative expenses (net impact) | $ | 87 | $ | - | ||||
The following adjustments were made to the balance sheet:
As at September 30, 2023 | As at September 30, 2022 | |||||||
| Recognition of warranty liability | $ | (821 | ) | $ | (908 | ) | ||
| Impact to accumulated deficit | $ | (821 | ) | $ | (908 | ) | ||
| f) | Deferred income taxes |
U.S. GAAP uses the asset and liability method whereby deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for temporary differences between financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective income tax bases. The income tax adjustment reflects the impact on income taxes of the U.S. GAAP adjustments described in this footnote.
The following adjustments were made to the statements of operations and deficit:
Year ended September 30, 2023 | Year ended September 30, 2022 | |||||||
| Deferred tax benefit | $ | 314 | $ | 785 | ||||
The following adjustments were made to the balance sheet:
As at September 30, 2023 | As at September 30, 2022 | |||||||
| Recognition of deferred tax liability | $ | (529 | ) | $ | (843 | ) | ||
| Impact to accumulated deficit | $ | (529 | ) | $ | (843 | ) | ||
| g) | Cash flow impact |
The above adjustments are not expected to lead to any differences necessary to reconcile cash flows as per ASPE to the cash flows determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

(expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted, except for amount per share)
| 1. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
| a. | Nature of business |
Complete Innovations Holdings Inc. and Complete Innovations USA Inc., collectively known as “Complete Innovations” or the “Company”, provide technology-based fleet, asset and mobile workforce monitoring and management solutions.
| b. | Basis of accounting |
Complete Innovations has prepared its combined financial statements in accordance with Canadian accounting standards for private enterprises (“ASPE”).
| c. | Basis of combination |
The combined financial statements of Complete Innovations include the accounts of Complete Innovations Holdings Inc. and Complete Innovations USA Inc. Complete Innovations Holdings Inc. includes the following wholly owned subsidiaries:
| ● | Complete Innovations Inc.; | |
| ● | Fleet Complete Coöperatief U.A. and its wholly owned subsidiaries TC Beheer B.V., IT Mobile Spain S.L, Fleet Complete Netherlands B.V. and its wholly owned subsidiaries Fleet Complete Germany GMBH and Complete Innovations AE, and Fleet Complete Belgium BVBA. Fleet Complete Nordics OÜ and its wholly owned subsidiaries Fleet Complete Eesti ÖU, Fleet Complete Denmark ApS, Fleet Complete Norge AS, Fleet Complete Sverige AB, Fleet Complete Latvija SIA and Fleet Complete Lietuva UAB; | |

| d. | Foreign currency translation |
Foreign currency transactions are translated at the rates of exchange in effect at the dates of the transaction. Resulting foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the rates of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date. Gains and losses on translation of monetary assets and liabilities are included in net income.
Financial statements of foreign subsidiaries which are considered financially and operationally integrated with the organization are translated into Canadian dollars using the temporal method. Under this method, monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into Canadian dollars at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets are translated at the historical rate of exchange. Revenue and expenses are translated at the rate of exchange prevailing on the transaction date, except for amortization which is translated at exchange rates used in the translation of the relevant asset accounts. Gains and losses on translation are reflected in net income.

For the Six Months Ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023
(expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted, except for amount per share)
Financial statements of foreign subsidiaries which are considered financially and operationally self-sustaining with the organization are translated into Canadian dollars using the current rate method whereby assets and liabilities are translated at the rate of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date, and revenue and expense items are translated at the rate of exchange prevailing on the transaction date. The resulting exchange differences are classified as accumulated comprehensive loss in equity.
| e. | Inventory |
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value with cost generally determined on a first-in, first-out basis. Inventories are written down when it is determined that net realizable value is below cost. When the circumstances that previously caused inventory to be written down below cost no longer exist or when there is clear evidence of an increase in net realizable value because of changed economic circumstances, the amount of the writedown is reversed. The reversal is limited to the lesser of the amount of the original writedown and the current net realizable value. The amount of inventory recognized as an expense and included in cost of revenue was $10,719 (2023 - $10,530).
| f. | Deferred contract costs |
Costs consisting of hardware and installation are amortized on a straight-line basis over the expected life of the customer contract which was determined to be a period of 5 years. For contracts that are terminated before the term, the associated and unamortized deferred contract costs are expensed in the period of termination.
| g. | Property and equipment |
Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation based on the estimated useful lives of the assets is as follows:
| Computer equipment | 20-25% | |
| Leasehold improvements | term of lease | |
| Office equipment | 20% | |
| Vehicle | 20% |
| h. | Intangible assets |
Intangible assets with an indefinite life are not amortized. They are tested for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that their carrying amount exceeds their fair value. The impairment test consists of a comparison of the fair value of the unamortized assets with their carrying amount. When the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to the excess. Trade name acquired from BigRoad Incorporated is considered indefinite life.
Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the assets as follows:
| Customer relationships | 3 – 10 years | |
| Technology | 3 – 5 years | |
| Trade names | 2 – 15 years | |
| Computer software | 1 – 5 years |

For the Six Months Ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023
(expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted, except for amount per share)
| i. | Goodwill |
Goodwill is an asset that represents the future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired in a business combination that are not individually identified and separately recognized. Goodwill is not amortized. Goodwill is tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the fair value of the reporting unit to which the goodwill is assigned may be less than its carrying amount. The Company determined that the reporting unit is the consolidated business.
| j. | Impairment of long-lived assets |
The Company monitors events and changes in circumstances which may require an assessment of the recoverability of its long-lived assets. If required, the Company would assess recoverability using estimated future undiscounted operating cash flows. If the carrying amount of an asset is not recoverable, an impairment loss is recognized in operations, measured by comparing the carrying amount of the asset to its discounted cash flow value.
| k. | Revenue recognition |
Revenue from subscription and maintenance contracts is recognized over the term of the contract when collection is reasonably assured. Amounts paid for contracts in advance of the services being provided are recorded as deferred revenue.
Revenue from the sale of hardware and software products is recognized when the goods are delivered to the customer and collection is reasonably assured.
Revenue from licenses is recognized upon customer access to the subscribed software application over the terms of the license period. Revenue from warranty services is deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the warranty period.
The Company also enters into sales that may involve the delivery of multiple products and services. As appropriate, these multiple element arrangements are separated into their component accounting units, consideration is measured and allocated amongst the accounting units based upon their relative fair values (derived using Company-specific objective evidence) and then the Company’s relevant revenue recognition policy is applied to the accounting units.
| l. | Stock based compensation |
The Company grants common stock options to its employees and officers under its stock option plans. Stock based compensation plans are accounted for on a fair value basis.
The fair value of each option is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
Stock based compensation costs, measured at grant date based on the fair value of all options granted and recognized over the service period involved, are recorded as expenses on the income statement and credited to contributed surplus. The consideration paid by employees upon exercise of the options and the fair value of the options exercised are added to share capital.

Notes to the Combined Financial Statements (unaudited)
For the Six Months Ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023
(expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted, except for amount per share)
The Company estimates expected forfeitures, if any, at each reporting period such that on a cumulative basis, the cumulative expense recognized reflects the number of equity instruments that are expected to vest. Where no forfeitures were expected, actual forfeitures are accounted for as they occur by adjusting the stock-based compensation cost to reflect the number of options that are expected to vest.
From time to time, the Company makes amendments to its stock option grants. For amendments to both vested and non-vested options that meet the definition of a modification of an option, the incremental fair value between the original option and the modified option are treated as an expense over the vesting period of the modified option.
| m. | Income taxes |
The Company applies the future income taxes method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, future income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Any change in the net amount of future income tax assets and liabilities is included in income. Future income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on enacted or substantively enacted tax rates and laws which are expected to apply to taxable income for the years in which the assets and liabilities will be recovered. Future income tax assets are recognized when it is more likely than not that they will be realized.
| n. | Leases |
Leases are classified as capital or operating leases. A lease that transfers substantially all of the benefits and risks incidental to the ownership of property is classified as a capital lease. At the inception of a capital lease, an asset and an obligation are recorded at an amount equal to the lesser of the present value of the minimum lease payments and the property’s fair value at the beginning of the lease. Assets recorded under capital leases are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, which is the estimated useful life of the assets.
All other leases are accounted for as operating leases wherein rental payments are expensed on a straight-line basis. The amount by which straight-line rental expense and any inducements received exceeds the minimum rents paid in accordance with the lease agreement is included in deferred rent.
| o. | Financial instruments |
Financial instruments are recorded at fair value when acquired or issued and subsequently measured at cost or amortized cost less impairment, if applicable. Financial assets are tested for impairment when changes in circumstances indicate the asset could be impaired. Transaction costs on the acquisition, sale or issue of financial instruments are charged to the financial instrument for those measured at amortized cost.

| p. | Use of estimates |
The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with ASPE requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include the amortization period of long-lived assets, stock-based compensation, fair values of acquired intangible assets and assessing indicators of impairment of long-lived assets and goodwill. Actual results could differ from management’s best estimates as additional information becomes available in the future.

Principal repayments over the next five years are as follows:
| 2024 | 2,806 |
| 2025 | 1,848 |
| 2026 | 199,475 |
On December 16, 2020, the Company refinanced its credit facilities for a five-year term. The terms of all credit facilities as at March 31, 2024 are unchanged from September 30, 2023. The facilities include the following:
Term credit facility
A $164,000 (2023 - $164,000) term credit facility bearing interest at either the Canadian Dollar Offered Rate (“CDOR”), to be no less than 1.00%, plus the applicable rate of 6.75% for CDOR loans, or the highest of i) the CIBC prime rate or ii) 30-day CDOR plus 1.00%, plus the applicable rate of 5.75% for Canadian base rate loans. Prior to the Financial Covenant Toggle Date (“FCTD”), if the LQA (Last Quarter Annualized) recurring revenue leverage ratio is greater than 1.00 to 1 but less than 1.25 to 1 then the applicable rate for CDOR loans is 6.50% and the applicable rate for the Canadian base rate loan option is 5.50%, or if the LQA recurring revenue leverage ratio is less than 1.00 to 1 then the applicable rate for CDOR loans is 6.25% and the applicable rate for the Canadian base rate loan option is 5.25%.
At the earlier of the Company’s option or December 16, 2024, (the “FCTD”), the interest rates are determined in accordance with the total leverage ratio. If the total leverage ratio is greater than 5.00 to 1 then the applicable rate for CDOR loans is 6.25% and the applicable rate for the Canadian base rate loan option is 5.25%. If the total leverage ratio is greater than 4.00 to 1 but less than 5.00 to 1 then the applicable rate for CDOR loans is 6.00% and the applicable rate for the Canadian base rate loan option is 5.00%, or if the total leverage ratio is less than 4.00 to 1 then the applicable rate for CDOR loans is 5.75% and the applicable rate for the Canadian base rate loan option is 4.75%. The Company exercised its option to set the FCTD at March 31, 2024 and must now maintain a leverage ratio of 6.00 to 1 on a quarterly basis.
Effective June 28, 2024, all tenors of the CDOR rate were no longer be published and the Canadian Overnight Repo Rate (“CORRA”) replaced all CDOR-linked products.
Principal repayments on this facility are as follows: $410 repayable in quarterly installments beginning on the first full fiscal quarter following the FCTD, which was October 2024, with the remainder repayable on the maturity of the facility on December 16, 2025.
As at March 31, 2024, the amount outstanding under this facility is $163,785 (2023 - $164,000).
Deferred Draw Term Loan (“DDTL”) facility
A $20,800 (2023 - $20,800) DDTL credit facility accessible until June 16, 2022, bearing interest at either the CDOR, to be no less than 1.00%, plus the applicable rate of 6.75% for CDOR loans, or the highest of i) the CIBC prime rate or ii) 30 day CDOR plus 1.00%, plus the applicable rate of 5.75% for Canadian base rate loans. Draws are subject to a $5,000 minimum and compliance with current covenants.

(expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted, except for amount per share)
The DDTL facility is not a revolving credit facility and payments of principal on the DDTL may not be redrawn. Principal repayments on this facility are as follows: $52 repayable in quarterly installments beginning on the first full fiscal quarter following the FCTD with the remainder repayable on the maturity of the facility on December 16, 2025.
Beginning on March 17, 2021 the undrawn portion of the DDTL facility was subject to a ticking fee of 1.00% per annum.
As at March 31, 2024, the amount outstanding under this facility is $20,644 (2023 - $20,800).
Revolving credit facility
Revolving credit facility with availability of a maximum revolver facility of $30,000, bearing interest at either the CDOR, to be no less than 1.00%, plus the applicable rate of 4.5% for CDOR loans, or the highest of i) the CIBC prime rate or ii) 30 day CDOR plus 1.00%, plus the applicable rate of 3.5% for Canadian base rate loans.
A standby fee is charged on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility of 0.5% per annum. This fee will reduce to 0.375% per annum if, prior to the FCTD the LQA recurring revenue leverage ratio is less than 1.25 to 1 or, after the FCTD the total leverage ratio is not greater than 5:00 to 1.
The credit facilities are secured by the Canadian Guarantee and Security Agreement and the US Guarantee and Security Agreement covering all the assets of the Company and assignment of its interest in all property.
The credit facilities also require the Company to maintain, prior to the FCTD, a minimum liquidity of at least $10,000 and an LQA recurring revenue leverage ratio of 2.00 to 1 from March 31, 2021 to December 31, 2021, 1.80 to 1 from March 31, 2022 to December 31, 2022 and 1.65 to 1 from March 31, 2024. Following the Company’s option to set the FCTD at March 31, 2024, the Company must now maintain a leverage ratio of 6.00 to 1 on a quarterly basis. The revolver is repayable on the maturity of the facility on December 16, 2025.
As at March 31, 2024, the amount outstanding under this facility is $19,700 (2023 - $15,700).

No further options will be granted under the Legacy Plan. Options are granted under the 2019 Plan at the discretion of the Board of Directors at exercise prices determined by the Board of Directors that is generally equal to the fair market value of the underlying shares on the date of grant. In general, for options granted under the 2019 Plan, 50% of the options shall vest in accordance with time-based conditions and 50% of the options shall vest in accordance with both performance-based and time-based vesting conditions. Time-based vesting under the Legacy Plan is 25% at the first anniversary of the vesting commencement date and the remaining will vest at 1/48 on the last day of each month through the fourth anniversary of the vesting commencement date. Time-based vesting under the 2019 Plan is 25% on each of the first four anniversaries of the grant date. The performance-vesting portion is subject to time and performance vesting and shall only be deemed fully vested to the extent it has both time-vested and performance-vested. Performance vesting options will vest immediately prior to and contingent upon the closing of a transaction based on the achievement of internal rates of return and multiples of invested capital metrics.
On July 28, 2022 the Board of Directors approved an option exchange program (the “Exchange Program”) for selected employees. Under the Exchange Program optionees exchanged all of their outstanding options under the 2019 Plan for a new grant of options under the 2019 Plan.
Stock options expire no later than 10 years from date of grant.
The following is a summary of the option activity during the year:

The fair value of each option granted to directors, officers and employees is charged to operations over the vesting period and has been estimated at the date of grant using the BlackScholes option pricing model with the following assumptions used:
| March 31, 2024 | September 30, 2023 | |||||||
| Share price | $ | 4.02 | $ | 4.02 | ||||
| Expected dividend yield | - | % | - | % | ||||
| Expected volatility | 52 | % | 63 | % | ||||
| Risk free rate of return | 3.4 | % | 4.1 | % | ||||
| Expected option life | 5 years | 5 years | ||||||
Because no actively traded market existed for the Company’s common shares in these periods, expected volatility was determined by a review of the expected volatility factors disclosed by a sample of publicly available data for technology management solutions related companies of comparable size.
The following is a continuity of the stock-based compensation reserve included in contributed surplus for the six months ended March 31, 2024:

| 9. | Financial Instruments, Capital Management and Financial Risks |
The Company’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk (including interest rate and foreign exchange rate risk). Risk management is carried out by the Company’s management team with guidance from the Audit Committee under policies approved by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors also provides regular guidance for overall risk management.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the other party by failing to discharge an obligation. The Company is exposed to credit risk resulting from the possibility that a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument defaults on their financial obligations; if there is a concentration of transactions carried out with the same counterparty; or of financial obligations which have similar economic characteristics such that they could be similarly affected by changes in economic conditions. The Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk relate primarily to cash and accounts receivable.
The Company provides credit to its customers in the normal course of its operations. As credit sales represent a significant portion of the Company’s sales activities, the Company limits its exposure to credit risk as the majority of the Company’s accounts receivable are monthly recurring payments from tier 1 North American telecommunications companies. See also Note 10.
The Company performed a provision analysis on its accounts receivable and recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts of $3,799 (2023 - $4,816).
Market risk
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company is exposed to interest rate risk with respect to its operating bank loans. The Company does not currently hold any financial instruments that might mitigate this risk. A change in interest rates of 100 basis points would increase/decrease cash interest by $2,005 (2023 - $2,005) per annum.
Foreign exchange risk
Currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company realizes a substantial portion of its sales and its cost of sales in US dollars, Euro, Australian dollars and Mexican Pesos. Consequently, certain assets and liabilities are exposed to foreign exchange fluctuations.
The Company undertakes certain transactions denominated in foreign currencies and as such is exposed to price risk due to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. The Company does not use derivative instruments to reduce exposure to foreign exchange risk.

| Accounts payable and accrued liabilities | M$ | 11,736 | M$ | 13,732 | ||||
| Exchange rate per MXP | 0.0818 | 0.0784 |
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company encounters difficulty in meeting its obligations associated with financial liabilities. Liquidity risk includes the risk that, as a result of operational liquidity requirements, the Company will not have sufficient funds to settle a transaction on the due date; will be forced to sell financial assets at a value which is less than what they are worth; or may be unable to settle or recover a financial asset. Liquidity risk arises from operating bank loans, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, other liabilities and commitments. The Company monitors its operating bank loans and cash flows available for when the loan is due. Due to the availability of the Company’s revolver facility as described in Note 5, management does not believe this represents a significant risk to the Company.

Notes to U.S. GAAP adjustments:
| a) | Operating leases |
In Complete Innovations combined financial statements, lease rentals related to operating leases were recognized in net earnings over the lease term on a straight-line basis. No assets or liabilities were recognized on the balance sheet.
Under U.S. GAAP, assets and liabilities are recognized on the balance sheet for the rights and obligations created by operating leases and the operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Deferred rent is not recognized separately from the right of use asset and lease liability, thus historical deferred rent was eliminated from the financial statements.
The following adjustments were made to the balance sheet:
| As at March 31, 2024 | As at September 30, 2023 | |||||||
| Recognition of right-of-use asset | $ | 4,057 | $ | 3,264 | ||||
| Recognition of lease liability | (4,385 | ) | (5,466 | ) | ||||
| Reversal of deferred rent from other liabilities | 173 | 66 | ||||||
| Net impact to accumulated deficit | $ | (155 | ) | $ | (2,136 | ) | ||

| b) | Bundled sales |
In Complete Innovations combined financial statements, hardware was not identified as a separate performance obligation when recognizing revenue for bundled agreements, which include subscription services to fleet management solutions, hardware and accessories, and installation. Consequently, no transaction price was allocated to hardware transferred but the cost of the hardware transferred was being deferred as Deferred contract costs and amortized over the contract term (including anticipated contracts).
Under U.S. GAAP, hardware has been identified as a separate performance obligation that is satisfied at a point in time when control is transferred to the customer. Hence, hardware revenue is recognized when control is transferred to the customer, with a related contract asset, rather than deferring revenue over a period.
The following adjustments were made to the statements of operations and deficit:
| Six months ended March 31, 2024 | Six months ended March 31, 2023 | |||||||
| Decrease in amortization of deferred contract costs (*) | $ | 6,418 | $ | 6,239 | ||||
| Increase in direct costs (*) | (4,558 | ) | (4,412 | ) | ||||
| Decrease (Increase) in revenue | 1,800 | 2,503 | ||||||
| Increase in selling, general and administrative expenses | (16 | ) | (615 | ) | ||||
| Increase in depreciation of property and equipment | (441 | ) | (414 | ) | ||||
* The adjustment represents impact of reversal of amortization of hardware costs deferred under ASPE and recognition of cost of hardware transferred as per US GAAP.
The following adjustments were made to the balance sheet:

(expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted, except for amount per share)
| c) | Principal v. agent determination in contracts with customers |
Complete Innovations was identified as a principal in certain contracts with customers entered into through third party intermediaries under U.S. GAAP. Consequently, revenue was recognized at a gross amount that Complete Innovations expects to be entitled to for providing such goods and services and related agency commissions were recognized as commission expenses within selling, general and administrative expenses. This adjustment led to a grossing-up of revenue and selling, general and administrative expenses by $11,431 for the six months ended March 31, 2024, and $12,472 for the six months ended March 31, 2023.
| d) | Costs to acquire contracts with customers |
In Complete Innovations combined financial statements, sales commissions were expensed as incurred. No assets were recognized on the balance sheet.
Under U.S. GAAP, a contract cost asset is recognized for the incremental costs of obtaining the contract if an entity expects to recover those costs through future fees from the customers which is then amortized over the contract period, including anticipated contracts.
The following adjustments were made to the statements of operations and deficit:
Six months ended March 31, 2024 | Six months ended March 31, 2023 | |||||||

(expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted, except for amount per share)
| e) | Warranties |
In Complete Innovations historical combined financial statements, warranties were expensed as incurred. No liabilities pertaining to warranties were recognized on the balance sheet.
Under U.S. GAAP, the estimated costs of an assurance-type warranty are generally recorded as a liability when the entity transfers the good or service to the customer. These estimates are derived from historical data and trends of costs of repairing and replacing defective products.
The following adjustments were made to the statements of operations and deficit:
Six months ended March 31, 2024 | Six months ended March 31, 2023 | |||||||
| Recognition of warranty (expense) recovery under U.S. GAAP | $ | (47 | ) | $ | 87 | |||
| Selling, general, and administrative expenses (net impact) | $ | (47 | ) | $ | 87 | |||

| Impact to accumulated deficit | $ | (868 | ) | $ | (821 | ) | ||
| f) | Deferred income taxes |
U.S. GAAP uses the asset and liability method whereby deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for temporary differences between financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective income tax bases. The income tax adjustment reflects the impact on income taxes of the U.S. GAAP adjustments described in this footnote.

Golden Eagle LP, the Company’s ultimate parent, is the registered and beneficial owner of all of the issued and outstanding common shares in the capital of Golden Eagle Canada Holdings, Inc., a corporation formed under the laws of the Province of Ontario (“Canada Holdco”), and such common shares, the “Canada Holdco Securities”), and all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock in the capital of Golden Eagle Holdings, Inc., a corporation formed under the laws of the State of Delaware (“US Holdco”, and such shares of common stock, the “US Holdco Securities”); (ii) US Holdco is the registered and beneficial owner of all of the issued and outstanding shares in the capital of Complete Innovations Corp., a corporation formed under the laws of the State of Delaware (“CIC”) and CIC is the registered and beneficial owner of all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Complete Innovations USA Inc. and (iii) Golden Eagle LP and Canada Holdco are the registered and beneficial owners of all of the issued and outstanding class A common shares in the capital of Complete Innovations Holdings Inc. (the “Class A Shares”), a corporation formed under the laws of the Province of Ontario (“CIH” and, together with Canada Holdco and US Holdco, the “Acquired Entities”); (iv) CIC is the registered and beneficial owner of all of the issued and outstanding class B common shares in the capital of CIH (the “Class B Shares”); (v) the other sellers are collectively the registered and beneficial owners of all of the issued and outstanding Class C Shares and, together with the Class A Shares and Class B Shares, the “CIH Securities”); and (vi) the 30% Rule Designee is the registered and beneficial owner of the CIH Preferred Share.
On October 1, 2024, Golden Eagle LP sold the US Holdco Securities held by it to Powerfleet Inc. (Nasdaq: AIOT) and the Canada Holdco Securities and Class A Shares held by it to Powerfleet Canada Holdings Inc. a wholly owned subsidiary of Powerfleet Inc. (collectively, “Powerfleet”) and each other seller sold the Class C Shares held by such other seller to Powerfleet Canada Holdings Inc.

Exhibit 99.3
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
On October 1, 2024 (the “Acquisition Date”), Powerfleet, Inc. (“Powerfleet” or the “Company”) and Powerfleet Canada Holdings Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Canadian SPV” and, together with the Company, the “Purchasers”), completed the acquisition of Fleet Complete (as defined below) contemplated by the Share Purchase Agreement, dated as of September 18, 2024 (as amended, the “Purchase Agreement”), from Golden Eagle Topco, LP (“Golden Eagle LP”) and the persons that are party thereto under the heading “Other Sellers” (the “Other Sellers” and, together with Golden Eagle LP, the “Sellers”).
Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Purchasers acquired all the direct and indirect common shares in the capital of Golden Eagle Canada Holdings, Inc. (“Canada Holdco”) and Complete Innovations Holdings Inc. (“CIH”), and all the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Golden Eagle Holdings, Inc. (together with Canada Holdco and CIH, hereinafter referred to as “Fleet Complete”), in exchange for an aggregate purchase price of $194 million, with $21 million of the purchase price paid by the issuance of 4,285,714 shares of the Company’s common stock and the remainder paid in cash (the “FC Acquisition”).
The FC Acquisition will be accounted for as a business combination in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) (pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification Topic 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”)), with Powerfleet treated as the “accounting acquirer”. As a result of the FC Acquisition, Powerfleet controls Fleet Complete as it beneficially owns 100% of the outstanding share capital of Fleet Complete. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements were prepared in accordance with the acquisition method of accounting. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the purchase price is allocated to the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective estimated fair values with any excess purchase price allocated to goodwill. Significant estimates and assumptions were used in determining the estimated purchase price and the preliminary purchase price allocation reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements. The process of valuing the net assets of Fleet Complete immediately prior to the business combination for purposes of presentation within this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is preliminary. As the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been prepared based on these preliminary estimates, the final amounts recorded may differ materially from the information presented.
The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is presented to illustrate the estimated effects of the FC Acquisition, the MiX Telematics Combination (as defined below), and the Financings (as defined below).
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of September 30, 2024 is based upon and derived from the historical consolidated financial statements of the Company and combined financial information of CIH and Complete Innovations USA, Inc. (together, “Fleet Complete OpCos”) and gives effect to the FC Acquisition as if it had occurred on September 30, 2024. The financial statements of Canada Holdco, CIH and Golden Eagle Holdings, Inc. are not included in this filing as their business operations are immaterial and have no impact on the pro forma condensed combined balance sheets and statements of operations and comprehensive loss presented in this filing. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the year ended March 31, 2024, and the six months ended September 30, 2024 are also based upon and derived from the historical financial information of the Company (as described in more detail below) and Fleet Complete OpCos and give effect to the FC Acquisition as if it had occurred on April 1, 2023. In addition, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet information as of September 30, 2024 and the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the year ended March 31, 2024 and the six months ended September 30, 2024 are also based upon and derived from the historical financial information of MiX Telematics Proprietary Limited (formerly known as MiX Telematics Limited, “MiX Telematics”), which was combined with the Company on April 2, 2024 (the “MiX Telematics Combination” and, together with the FC Acquisition, the “Transactions”). The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the year ended March 31, 2024 were adjusted to give effect to MiX Telematics Combination as if it had occurred on April 1, 2023.
The MiX Telematics Combination was a significant business acquisition as defined by Rule 3-05 and Article 11 of Regulation S-X, and, as a result, the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) an S-1/A on December 5, 2024, which included historical audited financial statements of MiX Telematics as of and for the years ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 and unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements giving effect to the MiX Telematics Combination as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023 and for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Because both the FC Acquisition and the MiX Telematics Combination were deemed significant business acquisitions during the periods covered by unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, the pro forma information required by Item 9.01 of Form 8-K have been presented on a disaggregated basis due to the material nature of each such transaction.
On May 8, 2024, Powerfleet’s Board of Directors approved a change in its fiscal year end from December 31 to March 31. Therefore, on August 22, 2024, Powerfleet filed with the SEC a Transition Report on Form 10-KT for the transition period ended March 31, 2024. Powerfleet and Fleet Complete OpCos had different fiscal year ends, March 31, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations and comprehensive loss for the year ended March 31, 2024 has been prepared using Powerfleet’s unaudited consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the year ended March 31, 2024 (calculated by adding the three months ended March 31, 2024 to and deducting the three months ended March 31, 2023 from the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2023) and Fleet Complete OpCos’ unaudited combined statements of income and comprehensive loss for the year ended March 31, 2024 (calculated as the audited combined statement of income and comprehensive loss for the year ended September 30, 2023 less the unaudited combined statement of income and comprehensive loss for the six months ended March 31, 2023 plus the combined unaudited statement of income and comprehensive loss for the six months ended March 31, 2024). The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations and comprehensive loss for the six months ended September 30, 2024 has been presented using Powerfleet’s unaudited consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the six months ended September 30, 2024 and Fleet Complete OpCos’ unaudited combined statements of income and comprehensive loss for the six months ended June 30, 2024 (calculated by deducting the unaudited combined statement of income and comprehensive loss for the three months ended December 31, 2023, from the unaudited combined statement of income and comprehensive loss for the nine months ended June 30, 2024). Fleet Complete OpCos’ unaudited combined statements of income and comprehensive loss for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are overlapping in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the year ended March 31, 2024 and the six months ended June 30, 2024. The overlapping period includes revenue of $ 30.5 million and net loss of $ 6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 (refer to Note 9). The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet information as of September 30, 2024 has been prepared using Powerfleet’s unaudited consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2024 and Fleet Complete OpCos’ unaudited combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2024.
Furthermore, Fleet Complete OpCos have been historically preparing and presenting its financial information in accordance with Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises (“ASPE”) while Powerfleet’s financial information follows US GAAP. As such, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet information as of September 30, 2024 and the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the year ended March 31, 2024 and the six months ended September 30, 2024 have been prepared by adjusting the historical combined financial information of Fleet Complete OpCos from ASPE to US GAAP. For more detail, refer to Note 8.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X, as amended by the final rule, Release No. 33-10786 “Amendments to Financial Disclosures about Acquired and Disposed Businesses”. Article 11 of Regulation S-X provides requirements to depict the accounting for the transaction (“Transaction Accounting Adjustments”) and the option to present reasonably estimable synergies and other transaction effects that have occurred or are reasonably expected to occur (“Management’s Adjustments”). Powerfleet has elected not to present Management’s Adjustments in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements. The results set forth in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information include adjustments that give effect to events that are directly attributable to the FC Acquisition.
In connection with the MiX Telematics Combination, Powerfleet raised new net debt funding of $102.7 million (the “MiX Debt Funding”) in order to fully redeem all of its outstanding Series A convertible preferred stock (the “Series A preferred stock”). On April 2, 2024, the Series A preferred stock was redeemed in full for $90.3 million, which was funded with the proceeds raised from the MiX Debt Funding.
In connection with the FC Acquisition, Powerfleet, together with I.D. Systems, Inc. (“IDSY”) and Movingdots GmbH (“Movingdots”), each a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Facility Agreement (the “Facility Agreement”) with FirstRand Bank Limited (acting through its Rand Merchant Bank division) (“RMB”) on September 27, 2024. Pursuant to the Facility Agreement, RMB agreed to provide the Company with a term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $125 million (the “RMB Term Facility”) that was drawn down on October 1, 2024. The proceeds of the RMB Term Facility were used by the Company to pay a portion of the purchase price for the FC Acquisition.
Further, on September 18, 2024, the Company entered into a Subscription Agreement with various accredited investors, pursuant to which the Company issued an aggregate of 20,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price per share of $3.50 for aggregate gross proceeds of $70 million (the “Private Placement”). The majority of these capital proceeds funded the remaining portion of the purchase price of the FC Acquisition. Pro forma adjustments related to the MiX Debt Funding, the RMB Term Facility and the Private Placement (collectively, the “Financings”) are presented in a separate column as “other transaction accounting adjustments” in the pro forma financial information.

Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information
Note 1 – Description of the transaction
On October 1, 2024, Powerfleet entered into the Purchase Agreement to acquire Fleet Complete. Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, Powerfleet acquired all of the issued and outstanding share capital of Fleet Complete in exchange for a payment of an aggregate purchase price of $194 million. Of this purchase price, $21 million was satisfied by the issuance of 4,285,714 shares of Powerfleet common stock and the remainder of $173 million was paid in cash.
In connection with the FC Acquisition, Powerfleet, together with IDSY and Movingdots, entered into the Facility Agreement with RMB on September 27, 2024, pursuant to which RMB agreed to provide the Company with a term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $125 million. The proceeds of the RMB Term Facility were used by the Company to pay a portion of the purchase price for the FC Acquisition.
On September 18, 2024, the Company entered into a Subscription Agreement with various accredited investors, pursuant to which the Company issued an aggregate of 20,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price per share of $3.50 for aggregate gross proceeds of $70 million. The majority of such capital proceeds funded the remaining portion of the purchase price of the FC Acquisition.
On April 2, 2024, Powerfleet consummated the MiX Telematics Combination, resulting in Powerfleet issuing 70,704,110 shares of Powerfleet common stock to acquire 554,020,612 MiX Telematics ordinary shares, net of treasury shares, based on the shares in issue at April 2, 2024.
In connection with the MiX Telematics Combination, Powerfleet raised new net debt funding of $102.7 million in order to fully redeem all of its outstanding Series A preferred stock. On April 2, 2024, concurrently with the consummation of the MiX Telematics Combination, the Series A preferred stock was redeemed in full for $90.3 million, which was funded with the proceeds raised from the MiX Debt Funding.
Additionally, certain of Fleet Complete’s historical debt was repaid by Powerfleet in connection with the FC Acquisition.
Note 2 – Basis of presentation
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and related notes are prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X, as amended by the final rule, Release No. 33-10786 “Amendments to Financial Disclosures about Acquired and Disposed Businesses”.
The FC Acquisition will be accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations pursuant to the provisions of ASC 805 with Powerfleet treated as the “accounting acquirer”. As a result of the FC Acquisition, Powerfleet controls Fleet Complete as it beneficially owns 100% of the outstanding share capital of Fleet Complete. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the estimated purchase price will be allocated to Fleet Complete’s assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values, using the fair value concepts defined in ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, at the Acquisition Date. Any excess of consideration transferred over the preliminary estimate of the fair value of identified assets acquired and liabilities assumed will be recognized as goodwill. Significant judgment is required in determining the preliminary fair values of identified intangible assets, property, plant and equipment, inventories, certain other assets, and assumed liabilities. These preliminary valuations of assets acquired, and liabilities assumed are determined using market, income and cost approaches from the perspective of a market participant, which requires estimates and assumptions including, but not limited to, estimating future cash flows in addition to developing the appropriate market discount rates and obtaining available market pricing for comparable assets. The final valuation may materially change the allocation of the purchase price, which could materially affect the fair values assigned to the assets and liabilities and could result in a material change to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.
The historical audited and unaudited consolidated financial statements of Powerfleet were prepared in accordance with US GAAP and presented in U.S. dollars. The historical audited combined financial statements and unaudited condensed combined financial statements of Fleet Complete OpCos were prepared in accordance with ASPE and shown in Canadian dollars. The financial statements of Canada Holdco, CIH and Golden Eagle Holdings, Inc. are not included in this filing as their business operations are immaterial and have no impact on the pro forma condensed combined balance sheets and statements of operations and comprehensive loss presented in this filing. Certain translation adjustments and reclassifications have been made in order to align the historical presentation of Fleet Complete OpCos to Powerfleet. Refer to Note 8 for such adjustments.
The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information presents the combination of the financial information of Powerfleet and Fleet Complete OpCos adjusted to give effect to the FC Acquisition and other events contemplated by the Purchase Agreement as described herein. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of September 30, 2024 combines the historical balance sheets of Powerfleet and Fleet Complete OpCos on a pro forma basis assuming the FC Acquisition and related financings had been consummated on September 30, 2024. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of income for the six months ended September 30, 2024 and the year ended March 31, 2024 combines the historical statements of income of Powerfleet and Fleet Complete OpCos on a pro forma basis assuming the FC Acquisition and related financings as if they had occurred on April 1, 2023, the beginning of the earliest period presented.
In addition, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet information as of September 30, 2024 and the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the year ended March 31, 2024 and the six months ended September 30, 2024 are also based upon and derived from the historical financial information of MiX Telematics, which was combined with the Company on April 2, 2024 (transactions happening from April 1, 2024 to April 2, 2024 were immaterial). The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the year ended March 31, 2024 was adjusted to give effect to MiX Telematics Combination as if it had occurred on April 1, 2023.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is not necessarily indicative of what the actual results of operations and financial position would have been had the Transactions taken place on the dates indicated, nor are they indicative of the future consolidated results of operations or financial position of Powerfleet and they are based on the information available at the time of their preparation. Actual results may differ materially from the assumptions within the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are intended to provide information about the impact of the Transactions as if it had been consummated earlier. The pro forma adjustments are based on available information and certain assumptions that management believes are factually supportable and are expected to have an impact on Powerfleet’s results of operations. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been made.
Accounting policies and reclassification
For the purposes of preparing the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, Powerfleet conducted a preliminary review of Fleet Complete OpCos’ accounting policies to identify significant differences. Based on its preliminary review, management identified certain accounting policy differences that were presented within the US GAAP adjustments (Note 8) and also certain reclassification adjustments to conform Fleet Complete OpCos’ historical financial statements presentation to Powerfleet’s financial statement presentation. Management will perform a comprehensive review of Fleet Complete OpCos’ accounting policies. As a result of the review, management may identify differences between the accounting policies or financial statement classifications of the two businesses which, when conformed, could have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements of Fleet Complete OpCos and Powerfleet.

Note 3 – Consideration transferred
Powerfleet acquired the issued share capital of Fleet Complete on October 1, 2024, in exchange for a payment of an aggregate purchase price of $194 million.

Note 4 – Preliminary purchase price allocation
The allocation of the estimated purchase price with respect to the FC Acquisition is based upon management’s estimates of and assumptions related to the fair values of assets to be acquired and liabilities to be assumed as of September 30, 2024, using currently available information. Since the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been prepared based on these preliminary estimates, the estimated fair value of the purchase consideration and the final purchase price allocation and the resulting effect on Powerfleet’s financial position and results of operations may differ materially from the pro forma amounts included herein.
The following table summarizes the preliminary allocation of the estimated purchase price as of September 30, 2024:
| (in thousands) | ||||
| Assets acquired | Estimated fair value | |||
| Cash and cash equivalents | $ | 3,143 | ||
| Accounts receivable | 20,928 | |||
| Inventory | 5,883 | |||
| Prepaid expenses and other current assets | 7,942 | |||
| Fixed assets | 3,610 | |||
| Intangible assets | 101,750 | |||
| Right of use asset | 2,905 | |||
| Deferred tax asset | 1,492 | |||
| Other assets | 6,360 | |||
| Total assets acquired (a) | $ | 154,013 | ||
| Liabilities assumed | ||||
| Accounts payable and accrued expenses | 30,096 | |||
| Deferred revenue - current | 4,296 | |||
| Lease liability - current | 1,025 | |||
| Lease liability - non-current | 1,910 | |||
| Deferred tax liability | 1,228 | |||
| Other long-term liabilities | 636 | |||
| Total liabilities assumed (b) | $ | 39,191 | ||
| Total assets acquired in excess of liabilities assumed (c) = (a) – (b) | $ | 114,822 | ||
| Total consideration transferred (d) | $ | 193,798 | ||
| Goodwill (d) – (c) | $ | 78,976 | ||
The preliminary purchase price allocation reflects the adjustment to historical intangible assets acquired by Powerfleet to their estimated fair values. As part of the preliminary valuation analysis, identified intangible assets included trade names, developed technology and customer relationships.
| 7 | Page |
This preliminary purchase price allocation has been used to prepare the transaction accounting adjustments in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet and unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations and comprehensive loss presented above statement of income. The final purchase price allocation will be determined when Powerfleet has completed the detailed valuations and necessary calculations. The estimated purchase price of the FC Acquisition has been allocated on a preliminary basis to the acquired tangible and identifiable intangible assets and assumed liabilities based on management’s current estimate of fair value with the excess cost over net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired being determined as goodwill. Management retained the services of a third party to assist in the preliminary valuation of the identifiable intangible assets acquired. These allocations are subject to change pending a final determination of the purchase price of Fleet Complete, the identification of additional acquired assets and assumed liabilities and the allocation of the final purchase price to the fair value of acquired assets and assumed liabilities. The completion of Powerfleet’s accounting for the FC Acquisition, including assessing accounting policies for conformity, the determination of final purchase price, the identification of acquired assets and assumed liabilities, the allocation of the final purchase price to the fair value of acquired assets and assumed liabilities and changes in the amortization periods of amortizable assets will cause differences from the information presented herein and those differences may be material.
Note 5 – Transaction accounting adjustments
The pro forma adjustments included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information are as follows (amounts in thousands):
| (A) | Represents the consideration transferred for the acquisition of Fleet Complete of $193,798, which includes cash of $172,455 and $21,343 paid through issued shares according to Note 3. | |
| (B) | Represents the elimination of $32,406 of existing goodwill of Fleet Complete and the preliminary recognition of $78,976 of goodwill arising out of the FC Acquisition. | |
| (C) | Represents the elimination of $3,091 of existing intangible assets of Fleet Complete, leaving a remaining intangible asset of $2,750 related to computer software. Represents the preliminary recognition of $99,000 of intangible assets attributable to the FC Acquisition. Additionally, represents the elimination of $7,833 of capitalized sales commissions in other assets, because this is already included in customer relationships as part of the purchase price allocation adjustment. |
The following table summarizes the preliminary estimated fair values of Fleet Complete’s identifiable intangible assets as of the acquisition date, and their estimated useful lives, along with the estimated amortization expense calculated using the straight-line method of amortization:
(in thousands) |
Estimated fair value |
Estimated useful life in years | Six months ended September 30, 2024 amortization expense | Year ended March 31, 2024 amortization expense | ||||||||||||
| Trade names | $ | 4,000 | 4.5 | $ | 444 | $ | 889 | |||||||||
| Developed technology | 25,000 | 5.5 | 2,273 | 4,545 | ||||||||||||
| Customer relationships | 70,000 | 9.5 | 3,684 | 7,369 | ||||||||||||
| Total identifiable intangible assets and related amortization | $ | 99,000 | $ | 6,401 | $ | 12,803 | ||||||||||
| Total historical amortization recorded | (1,229 | ) | (3,058 | ) | ||||||||||||
| Transaction accounting adjustments to amortization | $ | 5,172 | $ | 9,745 | ||||||||||||
These preliminary estimates of fair value and estimated useful lives will likely differ from final amounts determined after completing a detailed valuation analysis, and the difference could have a material effect on the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements.
| (D) | Reflects remeasurement of right-of-use assets (including the related fair value adjustments) on the consummation of FC Acquisition. |
| (E) | Represents accrual of Powerfleet’s non-recurring transaction costs of $1,650 related to the FC Acquisition including fees expected to be paid for financial advisory services, legal services, and professional accounting services. $4,685 of non-recurring transaction costs have already been incurred and included in the historical information in selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended September 30, 2024. In addition, $15,596 of transaction costs were incurred by Fleet Complete to effect the sale and were assumed by Powerfleet. | |

Note 8 – Reclassification and US GAAP Adjustments
Fleet Complete OpCos’ historical financial statements have been prepared in accordance with ASPE, which differs in certain material respects from US GAAP. In order to prepare pro forma financial statements, Fleet Complete OpCos’ historical financial statements have been adjusted to reflect Fleet Complete OpCos’ consolidated statements of operations and statement of financial position on a US GAAP basis by recording appropriate adjustments (“US GAAP adjustments”).
During the preparation of this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, management performed a preliminary review of Fleet Complete OpCos’ financial information to identify US GAAP adjustments, differences in accounting policies and financial statement presentation as compared to those of Powerfleet. At the time of preparing the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, Powerfleet was not aware of any material differences other than the adjustments described herein. However, Powerfleet will continue to perform its detailed review of Fleet Complete OpCos’ accounting policies, including convergence of its accounting policies to US GAAP. Upon completion of that review, differences may be identified between the accounting policies of the two businesses that, when confirmed, could have a material impact on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

Notes to US GAAP adjustments:
| a) | Operating leases |
In Fleet Complete OpCos’ historical consolidated financial statements, lease rentals related to operating leases were recognized in net earnings over the lease term on a straight-line basis. No assets or liabilities were recognized on the balance sheet.
Under US GAAP, assets and liabilities are recognized on the balance sheet for the rights and obligations created by operating leases and the operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Deferred rent is not recognized separately from the right of use asset and lease liability, thus historical deferred rent was eliminated from the financial statements.
The following adjustments were made to the balance sheet:
| (CAD in thousands) | As of June 30, 2024 | |||
| Recognition of right-of-use asset | 3,578 | |||
| Recognition of current lease liability | (1,404 | ) | ||
| Recognition of non-current lease liability | (2,616 | ) | ||
| Reversal of deferred rent from other liabilities | 285 | |||

| b) | Bundled sales |
In Fleet Complete OpCos’ historical consolidated financial statements, hardware was not identified as a separate performance obligation when recognizing revenue for bundled agreements, which include subscription services to fleet management solutions, hardware and accessories, and installation. Consequently, no transaction price was allocated to hardware transferred but the cost of the hardware transferred was being deferred as Deferred contract costs and amortized over the contract term (including anticipated contracts).
Under US GAAP, hardware is identified as a separate performance obligation that is satisfied at a point in time when control is transferred to the customer. Hence, hardware revenue is recognized when control is transferred to the customer, with a related contract asset, rather than deferring revenue over a period.
The following adjustments were made to the statements of consolidated income (loss):
| (CAD in thousands) | Six
months ended June 30, 2024 | Year
ended March 31, 2024 | ||||||
| Increase in Revenue from products | 7,465 | 12,580 | ||||||
| Decrease in Revenue from services | (7,975 | ) | (16,521 | ) | ||||
| Decrease in Cost of products* | (1,207 | ) | (3,611 | ) | ||||
| Increase in Cost of services* | 642 | 1,156 | ||||||
* The adjustments represent reversal of amortization of hardware costs deferred under ASPE and recognition of cost of hardware transferred and depreciation of hardware costs leased as per US GAAP.
The following adjustments were made to the balance sheet:
| (CAD in thousands) | As of June 30, 2024 | |||
| Reversal of deferred hardware costs – current | (10,273 | ) | ||
| Reversal of deferred hardware costs (other assets) | (17,697 | ) | ||

* The adjustment represents the recognition of fixed assets for hardware operating lease arrangements with customers.
** Fleet Complete OpCos received cash upfront for certain hardware transferred through channel partners under bundled sales arrangements. Such amounts were recognized as deferred revenue under ASPE but recognized as revenue on date of hardware transfer under US GAAP.
| c) | Principal v. agent determination in contracts with customers |
Fleet Complete was identified as a principal in contracts with customers entered into through third party intermediaries under US GAAP. Consequently, revenue was recognized at a gross amount that Fleet Complete expects to be entitled to for providing such goods and services and related agency commissions were recognized as commission expenses within selling, general and administrative expenses. This adjustment led to grossing-up of revenue and selling, general and administrative expenses by CAD 11,196 for the six months ended June 2024 and CAD 21,472 for the year ended March 31, 2024.

| d) | Costs to acquire contracts with customers |
In Fleet Complete OpCos’ historical consolidated financial statements, sales commissions were expensed as incurred. No assets were recognized on the balance sheet.
Under US GAAP, a contract cost asset is recognized for the incremental costs of obtaining the contract if an entity expects to recover those costs through future fees from the customers which is then amortized over the contract period, including anticipated contracts. Applying the practical expedient, the incremental costs to obtain contracts were not capitalized if the amortization period for the asset would be one year or less.

| e) | Warranties |
In Fleet Complete’s historical consolidated financial statements, warranties were expensed as incurred. No liabilities were recognized on the balance sheet.
Under US GAAP, the estimated costs of an assurance-type warranty are generally recorded as a liability when the entity transfers the good or service to the customer. These estimates are derived from historical data and trends of costs of repairing and replacing defective products.

The income tax adjustment reflects the impact on income taxes of the US GAAP adjustments described in this footnote.
