DisclosureControls and Procedures
At the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Registrant’s “disclosure controls and procedures” (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) was carried out by the Registrant’s principal executive officer (the “CEO”) and principal financial officer (the “CFO”). Based upon that evaluation, the Registrant’s CEO and CFO have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the design and operation of the Registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that (i) information required to be disclosed in reports that the Registrant files or submits to regulatory authorities is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by regulation, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Registrant’s CEO and CFO, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
It should be noted that while the Registrant’s CEO and CFO believe that the Registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures provide a reasonable level of assurance that they are effective, they do not expect that the Registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived or operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.
ManagementReport on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting & Auditor Attestation
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and Rule 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) and has designed such internal control over financial reporting to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS.
In designing and evaluating the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, the Company’s management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its reasonable judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risks that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate.
Management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth in “Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013)” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on this evaluation, management concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2025, based on those criteria.
In accordance with the JOBS Act enacted on April 5, 2012, the Company qualifies as an “emerging growth company,” which entitles the Company to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not EGCs. Specifically, the JOBS Act defers the requirement to have the Company’s independent auditor assess the Company’s internal control over financial reporting under Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. As such, the Company is exempted from the requirement to include an auditor attestation report in this Annual Report for so long as the Company remains an EGC, which may be for as long as five years following its initial registration in the United States.

These measures are not recognized measures under IFRS and do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Rather, these measures are provided as additional information to complement those IFRS measures by providing further understanding of the Company’s results of operations from management’s perspective. Accordingly, these measures should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s financial information reported under IFRS. The Company uses non-IFRS measures including “gross margins” and “working capital” which may be calculated differently by other companies. These non-IFRS measures and metrics are used to provide investors with supplemental measures of the Company’s operating performance and liquidity and thus highlight trends in the Company’s business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS measures. The Company also believes that securities analysts, investors and other interested parties frequently use non-IFRS measures in the evaluation of companies in similar industries. Management also uses non-IFRS measures and metrics in order to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period, to prepare annual operating budgets and forecasts and to determine components of executive compensation. For definitions and reconciliations of these non-IFRS measures to the relevant reported measures, please see the “Non-GAAP Measures and Additional GAAP Measures” section of the MD&A. A copy of the MD&A can be accessed under the Company’s profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and on EDGAR at www.sec.gov.

DroneIndustry Overview
Drones or UAV have rapidly evolved from a military origin to commercial and civil government applications from security to farming. The increased automation of drones provides additional value to existing workflows, triggering more widespread adoption. A global shift to sustainable and eco-friendly options has further increased demand for drone usage.
Drone applications are being utilized in multiple industries on a global basis. The Company believes that defense will remain the largest market over the foreseeable future. However, the mobile phone industry created an affordable technology stack for drones. The ability to carry a camera enabled many people to utilize the platforms for media production and beyond. That demand initiated in the consumer market and has migrated along with technological advancements into the growth of commercial drone industry.
The major segments of the drone market are drone hardware, software and services. Drone hardware are the physical goods, including drone platforms, aerial mobility platforms and components and systems. The software segment includes flight planning, navigation and computer vision, unmanned traffic management, fleet operations, ecosystems, networks and software development kits. Drone services include the provision of flight operations, data analysis and hardware repair and maintenance. Drone service providers include system integrators, pilot training providers, retailers and marketplaces, coalitions and organizations, drone test sites, insurance providers and university/educational facilities. The commercial drone industry has been growing rapidly in recent years, with drones becoming increasingly popular for a wide range of applications. From capturing aerial footage to conducting inspections of infrastructure, drones offer a cost-effective and efficient solution to a range of tasks. According to Teal Group, the global market for commercial drones is expected to reach US$18.88 billion by 2030, with strong demand coming from industries such as agriculture, construction, and logistics.
One of the biggest drivers of growth in the commercial drone industry is the availability of advanced technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (“AI”), machine learning, and computer vision. These technologies enable drones to perform a wide range of tasks that were previously difficult or impossible, such as automated inspections and precision agriculture. Additionally, the development of high-quality, lightweight sensors and cameras has made it possible to capture high-resolution images and video footage, in challenging environments.
Drone application methods are being used by a variety of industries today. There are approximately eight methods that are garnering the most attention: mapping, surveying, inspection, filming/photography, dispensing/spraying, warehousing, monitoring/detection, and delivery. These applications are being used today by the civil government, educational facilities, agricultural, construction, health care, real estate, energy, transportation, insurance, security, and scientific industries.

Competitive Conditions
Although Draganfly is acknowledged as a drone industry pioneer that we believe was the first to develop the commercial multi rotor helicopter, there are now many drone hardware companies in the world. As technology has improved and costs for hardware and software have come down, the line between consumer and commercial drones has blurred, enabling the rise of Prosumer drones. A Prosumer drone is a drone is designed to satisfy elements of professional and consumer segments, often featuring integrated sensors designed to deliver a combination of performance and value with little ability to customize the drone for the required use-case. Historically, Draganfly has serviced early adopters in the public safety industry. At this stage of the commercial drone adoption curve, the average public safety organization (local, regional, and even federal law enforcement, for example), has been introduced to drones through the adoption of Consumer and Prosumer platforms. Hence, these organizations tend to use lower cost drones that have become quite sophisticated that can accomplish most of their use cases. The dominant companies in the industry are Chinese drone manufacturers that are reputed to comprise a substantial portion of the consumer and now commercial drone market. The majority of foreign manufactured drones are geared towards broad applications involving the masses. Draganfly has moved away from competing directly with these companies and in some cases sells these products through its subsidiary, Dronelogics Systems Inc., or has chosen to serve niche markets outside of where the foreign manufactured drones tends to be. There are also some organizations that tend to be US based that either prefer or are mandated to not use foreign drones such as those produced by China. Some of these organizations are sensitive to their work being exposed to that of overseas governments which has at least for the time being, created a niche market for players such as Draganfly. The combined shift away from foreign made drones (national security issues) and regulatory improvements by the FAA in respect of drone usage is driving industry demand. As Draganfly has evolved to move with the industry trends, the Company now uses some third party hardware and software as part of some of its customization and engineering services work. Draganfly has also moved into innovative engineering procurement which is very specialized. As the drone industry matures, this may bring more competitors to this space or the Company’s customers may choose to develop the in-house expertise to do the work that they currently outsource to Draganfly. However, it is the Company’s view that there will be a growing customer base that will require specialized drone hardware, software and service solutions outside of the capabilities of the consumer & prosumer drone platforms that only a handful of companies can do.
The market remains highly competitive. Private equity continues to actively capitalize drone start-ups.

RegulatoryFramework
A new regulatory framework relating to the use of drones in Canada was published by Transport Canada in January 2019 and came into effect on June 1, 2019. The changes, published in the Canadian Aviation Regulations (“CARs”), Part IX, introduce new rules based on the weight of the RPA and the intended operation. This framework creates three broad categories of RPAS: (i) small RPAS in limited (low risk) operations (“Small RPAS Basic”); (ii) small RPAS in advanced (complex) operations (“Small RPAS Advanced”); and (iii) all other RPA operations that fall outside (i) and (ii) above. These regulations focus on foundational issues such as aircraft marking and registration, pilot knowledge and certification, airworthiness of the aircraft, and flight rules.
Small RPAS Basic are defined as RPAS weighing between 250 grams and 25 kilograms and operated in rural and unpopulated areas. These RPAS will require identification markings, including name, address and contact information of the owner and pilot of the RPA. Pilots must be at least 14 years of age and must hold a valid Basic RPA licence that is specific to small drones. Additional restrictions are imposed that include that the RPA cannot operate: (i) within approximately 30 meters of people or open-air assemblies of people, (ii) above 400 feet, (iii) within approximately 1.85 kilometers of heliports or (iv) within approximately 5.5 kilometers of airports. These regulations require the RPA to always be operated within visual line-of-sight.
The RPA will be assigned a unique identification/registration number issued by Transport Canada. Pilots must be at least 16 years of age and must hold a valid Advanced RPAS license that is specific to small drones. Approval for operation must be granted by Air Traffic Control when operating in controlled airspace or near controlled aerodromes. A set of flight rules must be followed at all times for these more complex operations. Restrictions, including distances from people, are determined based on the safety certification of the RPA being operated.
The current legislation utilizes a similar Special Flight Operations Certificate (“SFOC”) application process, as the previous regulations, to approve any operations that do not fit within the regulatory regime set out above, such as operating beyond visual-line-of-sight. For those wishing to operate outside of the regulatory framework set out in CARs, part IX, there will be a variety of SFOC application processes tailored to the nature and use of the RPA. The more complex and riskier the proposed operation, the more thorough and detailed the SFOC application process.
Those operators requiring an SFOC must apply to the Transport Canada Civil Aviation Regional Office at least 30 working days prior to the date of the proposed RPAS operation. Transport Canada has wide discretion in reviewing and approving SFOC applications; however, to date the Company has never been refused an SFOC for which it has applied. The purpose of the SFOC application review is to ensure that the proposed operation is safe and associated risks have been adequately mitigated by the Company.
Draganfly operates in accordance with Part IX - Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems, of Transport Canada’s Canadian Aviation Regulations and Standards, which is periodically updated and governs the safety assurance and operations of Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems with Canada.
The Company is currently fully compliant with all current regulatory requirements and has applied for, and received Transport Canada approval for several SFOCs.

Seasonality
In terms of financial performance, the fourth quarter tends to be the weakest quarter for the Company due to the Company’s customers closing down for a few weeks for the holiday season coupled with poorer weather conditions for flying drones and performing drone services
Components
The Company obtains hardware components, various subsystems and systems, and raw materials from a limited group of suppliers. The Company does not have long-term agreements with any of these suppliers that obligate such suppliers to continue to sell components, subsystems, systems or products to the Company. The Company’s reliance on these suppliers involves significant risks and uncertainties, including whether suppliers will provide an adequate supply of required raw materials, components, subsystems, or systems of sufficient quality, will increase prices for the raw materials, components, subsystems or systems, and will perform their obligations on a timely basis. See “Risk Factors”.
IntangibleProperties
Intangibles such as patents, software, specific technology know-how, and applications expertise all have a significant effect on the Company’s business. At present, drone delivery technology cannot be purchased as an off-the-shelf solution; therefore, the Company has been focused on developing proprietary technology which meets or exceeds anticipated Canadian government requirements. By virtue of being the first commercial UAV company in the industry, the Company’s subsidiary, Draganfly Innovations, holds commercial patents.
As at the Effective Date, the Company has the following patents and patents pending in the application stage in its portfolio and intends to continue to expand and grow its intellectual property portfolio:

Our existing products are configured to meet the needs of multiple industries. We continue to add new customers in different market verticals. We are actively designing and developing new products and services to meet increased customer demands.
GrowthStrategy
Draganfly markets its products and services as a drone solution platform that enables customer to do things not easily done before and to collect data not easily available before. Draganfly provides solutions to our customers utilizing drones and adjunct technologies. Sensors, software, AI and more all make up this ability to provide solutions that only a company with end-to-end capabilities can provide. Draganfly grows by dealing with the decision makers in organizations who generally have budget control and/or profit and loss responsibility. Draganfly will continue to develop specific solutions and IP for industry verticals by working directly with customers. Draganfly will also pursue an acquisition strategy focused on adding additional capabilities to its platform that strengthen its value proposition of being able to provide new and total solutions that other drone companies cannot. Draganfly is focused on growth through developing new products, expanding its customer base, and pursuing accretive acquisition opportunities, both within and outside North America, in new markets that complement its existing portfolio.
Salesand Marketing
Draganfly plans to expand it sales and market capabilities in three key areas. First, Draganfly intends to implement a sales force that has the ability to build relationships and sell specifically designed solutions into industry verticals. This sales force will be specialized into segments that sell either direct or into a channel dependent on the specific product or service solution being provided. Draganfly plans to expand business development personnel that can work with specific industries to envision and develop new product lines and services not yet contemplated by our customers. The Company also established a Public Safety Board of Advisors and Military Board of Advisors to help introduce its products to the civil, public safety, and military markets, all key areas of growth. Second, Draganfly plans to drive greater market awareness of the Draganfly brand via public relations Third, Draganfly plans targeted marketing and advertising via tradeshows/conferences which are virtual or physical as well as target digital advertising campaigns used to generate inbound inquires for specific products, services or solution opportunities.
Customers
Key customers are customers looking to gain strategic advantage in particular markets via the use of drones and drone technology. These are often large organizations with a specific problem that they are currently solving in an expensive manner which usually means the use of teams of people or expensive personnel. By designing solution and providing everything from design to manufacturing to sensor development and even giving recognition on patents of IP development (not with commercial interest) to providing the services and housing the data we develop customer relationships that are very “sticky”.
SpecializedSkill and Knowledge
There is a specialized skill required for the development, operations, maintenance, sales and marketing of the Company’s technology. The Company’s current staff possesses the necessary skills and knowledge required for the Company’s business; however, additional employees may be added to staff as needed. All operational staff hold the appropriate licenses and certificate as mandated by Transport Canada.

RISK FACTORS
An investment in the Common Shares is highly speculative and involves significant risks. In addition to the other information containedin this AIF and the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein, you should review and carefully consider the risks describedherein. The risks described herein are not the only risk factors facing us and should not be considered exhaustive. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us, or that we currently consider immaterial, may also materially and adversely affect our business, operations and condition, financial or otherwise.
RisksRelated to the Company, its Business and Industry
TheCompany has a history of losses.
The Company has incurred net losses since its inception. The Company cannot assure that it can become profitable or avoid net losses in the future or that there will be any earnings or revenues in any future quarterly or other periods. The Company expects that its operating expenses will increase as it grows its business, including expending substantial resources for research, development and marketing. As a result, any decrease or delay in generating revenues could result in material operating losses.
Ashareholder’s holding in the Company may be diluted if the Company issues additional Common Shares or other securities inthe future.
The Company may issue additional Common Shares or other securities in the future, which may dilute a shareholder’s holding in the Company. The Company’s articles permit the issuance of an unlimited number of Common Shares, and shareholders have no pre-emptive rights in connection with further issuances of any securities. The directors of the Company have the discretion to determine if an issuance of Common Shares or other securities is warranted, the price at which any such securities are issued and the other terms of issue of Common Shares or securities. In addition, the Company may issue additional Common Shares upon the exercise of incentive stock options to acquire Common Shares under its share compensation plan or upon the exercise or conversion of other outstanding convertible securities of the Company, which will result in further dilution to shareholders. In addition, the issuance of Common Shares or other securities in any potential future acquisitions, if any, may also result in further dilution to shareholder interests.

TheCompany expects to incur substantial research and development costs and devote significant resources to identifying and commercializingnew products and services, which could significantly reduce its profitability and may never result in revenue to the Company.
The Company’s future growth depends on penetrating new markets, adapting existing products to new applications, and introducing new products and services that achieve market acceptance. The Company plans to incur substantial research and development costs as part of its efforts to design, develop and commercialize new products and services and enhance its existing products. The Company believes that there are significant opportunities in a number of business areas. Because the Company accounts for research and development costs as operating expenses, these expenditures will adversely affect its earnings in the future. Further, the Company’s research and development programs may not produce successful results, and its new products and services may not achieve market acceptance, create any additional revenue or become profitable, which could materially harm the Company’s business, prospects, financial results and liquidity.
Shortfallsin available external research and development funding could adversely affect the Company.
The Company depends on its research and development activities to develop the core technologies used in its UAV products and for the development of the Company’s future products. A portion of the Company’s research and development activities can depend on funding by commercial companies and the Canadian government. Canadian government and commercial spending levels can be impacted by a number of variables, including general economic conditions, specific companies’ financial performance and competition for Canadian government funding with other Canadian government-sponsored programs in the budget formulation and appropriation processes. Moreover, the Canadian, federal and provincial governments provide energy rebates and incentives to commercial companies, which directly impact the amount of research and development that companies appropriate for energy systems. To the extent that these energy rebates and incentives are reduced or eliminated, company funding for research and development could be reduced. Any reductions in available research and development funding could harm the Company’s business, financial condition and operating results.
Acquisitionscould divert the attention of key personnel, be difficult to integrate, dilute our existing shareholders and adversely impact our financialresults.
The Company may acquire other businesses, which could significantly increase the scope of our operations and our employee headcount. Acquisitions include a wide range of risks, any of which could hurt our business, including the following:
| ● | difficulties<br> in integrating the operations of a newly acquired company including existing products and<br> contracts, differences in corporate culture, operating systems and other integration issues; |
|---|---|
| ● | challenges<br> supporting and transitioning the customers of acquired companies and the loss of any acquired<br> customers will adversely impact our revenues and operating results; |
| ● | assumption<br> of known and unknown operating problems and our potential inability to address them in a<br> timely and efficient manner; |
| ● | risks<br> of entering new geographic markets where we have no prior experience and are required to<br> gain an understanding of the legal, regulatory, labor and business laws of these new markets. |
In addition, there are many financial risks associated with the cost of acquisitions. If we finance the cost of an acquisition using common stock, then our existing shareholders will be diluted and our stock price could decrease. If we finance the cost of an acquisition using debt, such financing could include restrictive covenants that restrict our operating and financial flexibility. If the stock market perceives that we overpaid for the acquisition, then our stock price could decrease.
TheCompany’s adoption of new business models could fail to produce any financial returns.
Forecasting the Company’s revenues and profitability for new business models is inherently uncertain and volatile. The Company’s actual revenues and profits for its business models may be significantly less than the Company’s forecasts. Additionally, the new business models could fail for one or more of the Company’s products and/or services, resulting in the loss of Company’s investment in the development and infrastructure needed to support the new business models, and the opportunity cost of diverting management and financial resources away from more successful businesses.

Ourfailure to effectively manage growth could harm our business.
We intend to expand the number and types of products we sell. We will need to replace and regularly introduce on a timely basis new products and technologies, enhance existing products, and effectively stimulate customer demand for new products and upgraded or enhanced versions of our existing products.
The replacement and expansion of our products places a significant strain on our management, operations and engineering resources. Specifically, the areas that are strained most by these activities include the following:
| ● | New<br> Product Launches: With the changes in and growth of our product portfolio, we will experience<br> increased complexity in coordinating product development, manufacturing, and shipping. As<br> this complexity increases, it places a strain on our ability to accurately coordinate the<br> commercial launch of our products with adequate supply to meet anticipated customer demand<br> and effectively market to stimulate demand and market acceptance. If we are unable to scale<br> and improve our product launch coordination, we could frustrate our customers and lose possible<br> retail shelf space and product sales; |
|---|---|
| ● | Existing<br> Products Impacted by New Introductions: The introduction of new products or product enhancements<br> may shorten the life cycle of our existing products, or replace sales of some of our current<br> products, thereby offsetting the benefit of a successful product introduction and may cause<br> customers to defer purchasing our existing products in anticipation of the new products.<br> These occurrences could potentially lead to challenges in managing inventory of existing<br> products. We may also provide price protection to some of our retailers as a result of new<br> product introductions and reduce the prices of existing products. If we fail to effectively<br> manage new product introductions, our revenue and profitability may be harmed; and |
| ● | Forecasting,<br> Planning and Supply Chain Logistics: With the changes in and growth of our product portfolio,<br> we will experience increased complexity in forecasting customer demand, in planning for production,<br> and in transportation and logistics management. If we are unable to scale and improve our<br> forecasting, planning, production, and logistics management, we could frustrate our customers,<br> lose product sales or accumulate excess inventory |
TheCompany will be affected by operational risks and may not be adequately insured for certain risks.
The Company will be affected by a number of operational risks and the Company may not be adequately insured for certain risks, including: labour disputes; catastrophic accidents; fires; blockades or other acts of social activism; changes in the regulatory environment; impact of non-compliance with laws and regulations; natural phenomena, such as inclement weather conditions, floods, earthquakes and ground movements. There is no assurance that the foregoing risks and hazards will not result in damage to, or destruction of, the Company’s technologies, personal injury or death, environmental damage, adverse impacts on the Company’s operation, costs, monetary losses, potential legal liability and adverse governmental action, any of which could have an adverse impact on the Company’s future cash flows, earnings and financial condition. Also, the Company may be subject to or affected by liability or sustain loss for certain risks and hazards against which the Company cannot insure or which the Company may elect not to insure because of the cost. This lack of insurance coverage could have an adverse impact on the Company’s future cash flows, earnings, results of operations and financial condition.

TheCompany operates in evolving markets, which makes it difficult to evaluate the Company’s business and future prospects.
The Company’s UAVs are sold in rapidly evolving markets. The commercial UAV market is in early stages of customer adoption. Accordingly, the Company’s business and future prospects may be difficult to evaluate. The Company cannot accurately predict the extent to which demand for its products and services will increase, if at all. The challenges, risks and uncertainties frequently encountered by companies in rapidly evolving markets could impact the Company’s ability to do the following:
| ● | generate<br> sufficient revenue to reach and maintain profitability; |
|---|---|
| ● | acquire<br> and maintain market share; |
| ● | achieve<br> or manage growth in operations; |
| ● | develop<br> and renew contracts; |
| ● | attract<br> and retain additional engineers and other highly-qualified personnel; |
| ● | successfully<br> develop and commercially market new products; |
| ● | adapt<br> to new or changing policies and spending priorities of governments and government agencies; and |
| ● | access<br> additional capital when required and on reasonable terms. |
If the Company fails to address these and other challenges, risks and uncertainties successfully, its business, results of operations and financial condition would be materially harmed.
TheCompany operates in a competitive market.
The Company faces competition and new competitors will continue to emerge throughout the world. Services offered by the Company’s competitors may take a larger share of consumer spending than anticipated, which could cause revenue generated from the Company’s products and services to fall below expectations. It is expected that competition in these markets will intensify.
If competitors of the Company develop and market more successful products or services, offer competitive products or services at lower price points, or if the Company does not produce consistently high-quality and well-received products and services, revenues, margins, and profitability of the Company will decline.
The Company’s ability to compete effectively will depend on, among other things, the Company’s pricing of services and equipment, quality of customer service, development of new and enhanced products and services in response to customer demands and changing technology, reach and quality of sales and distribution channels and capital resources. Competition could lead to a reduction in the rate at which the Company adds new customers, a decrease in the size of the Company’s market share and a decline in its customers. Examples include but are not limited to competition from other companies in the UAV industry.
In addition, the Company could face increased competition should there be an award of additional licenses in jurisdictions in which the Company operates in.
Themarkets in which the Company competes are characterized by rapid technological change, which requires the Company to develop newproducts and product enhancements and could render the Company’s existing products obsolete.
Continuing technological changes in the market for the Company’s products could make its products less competitive or obsolete, either generally or for particular applications. The Company’s future success will depend upon its ability to develop and introduce a variety of new capabilities and enhancements to its existing product and service offerings, as well as introduce a variety of new product offerings, to address the changing needs of the markets in which it offers products. Delays in introducing new products and enhancements, the failure to choose correctly among technical alternatives or the failure to offer innovative products or enhancements at competitive prices may cause existing and potential customers to purchase the Company’s competitors’ products.
If the Company is unable to devote adequate resources to develop new products or cannot otherwise successfully develop new products or enhancements that meet customer requirements on a timely basis, its products could lose market share, its revenue and profits could decline, and the Company could experience operating losses.

Failureto obtain necessary regulatory approvals from Transport Canada or other governmental agencies, or limitations put on the use ofsmall UAV in response to public privacy concerns, may prevent the Company from expanding sales of its small UAV to non-militarycustomers in Canada.
Transport Canada is responsible for establishing, managing, and developing safety and security standards and regulations for civil aviation in Canada, and includes unmanned civil aviation (drones). Civil operations include law enforcement, scientific research, or use by private sector companies for commercial purposes. The CARs govern civil aviation safety and security in Canada, and by extension govern operation of drones in Canada to an acceptable level of safety.
While Transport Canada has been a leader in the development of regulations for the commercial use of RPAS and continues to move forward rapidly with its regulatory development, it has acknowledged the challenge of regulations keeping pace with the rapid development in technology and the growing demand for commercial RPAS use, particularly in the beyond visual line-of-sight environment. In 2012, the Canadian Aviation Regulation Advisory Council UAS working group released its Phase 2 report which outlined a proposed set of revision to the CARs to permit beyond visual line of sight operations. This report was the basis for the recently released NPA by Transport Canada on lower risk beyond visual line-of-sight.
Failure to obtain necessary regulatory approvals from Transport Canada or other governmental agencies, including the granting of certain SFOCs, or limitations put on the use of RPAS in response to public safety concerns, may prevent the Company from testing or operating its aircraft and/or expanding its sales which could have an adverse impact on the Company’s business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition.
Thereare risks associated with the regulatory regime and permitting requirements of the Company’s business.
A significant portion of the Company’s business is based on the operation of RPAS. The operation of RPAS poses a risk or hazard to airspace users as well as personnel on the ground. As the RPAS industry is rapidly developing, the regulatory environment for RPAS is constantly evolving to keep pace. As such, whenever a policy change with respect to operating regulations occurs, there is a risk that the Company could find itself to be in non-compliance with these new regulations. While the Company endeavours to take all necessary action to reduce the risks associated with the operations of RPAS and to remain well-informed and up-to-date on any addendums and changes to the applicable regulations, there is no assurance that an incident involving an RPAS or the Company’s non-compliance would not create a significant current or future liability for the company.
The regulation of RPAS operations within the Canadian Domestic Airspace is still evolving and is expected to continue to change with the proliferation of RPAS, advancements in technology, and standardization within the industry. Changes to the regulatory regime may be disruptive and result in the Company needing to adopt significant changes in its operations and policies, which may be costly and time-consuming, and may materially adversely affect the Company’s ability to manufacture and make delivery of its products and services in a timely fashion.
The Company’s business and research and development activities are subject to oversight by Transport Canada, the federal institution responsible for transportation policies and programs, including the rules in the CARs. Currently, Transport Canada requires that any non-recreational operators of RPAS have a SFOC. The Company’s ability to develop, test, demonstrate, and sell products and services depends on its ability to acquire and maintain a valid SFOC.
In addition, there exists public concern regarding the privacy implications of Canadian commercial and law enforcement use of small UAV. This concern has included calls to develop explicit written policies and procedures establishing UAV usage limitations. There is no assurance that the response from regulatory agencies, customers and privacy advocates to these concerns will not delay or restrict the adoption of small UAV by prospective non-military customers.

TheCompany may be subject to the risks associated with future acquisitions.
As part of the Company’s overall business strategy, the Company may pursue select strategic acquisitions that would provide additional product or service offerings, additional industry expertise, and a stronger industry presence in both existing and new jurisdictions. Any such future acquisitions, if completed, may expose the Company to additional potential risks, including risks associated with: (a) the integration of new operations, services and personnel; (b) unforeseen or hidden liabilities; (c) the diversion of resources from the Company’s existing business and technology; (d) potential inability to generate sufficient revenue to offset new costs; (e) the expenses of acquisitions; or (f) the potential loss of or harm to relationships with both employees and existing users resulting from its integration of new businesses. In addition, any proposed acquisitions may be subject to regulatory approval.
TheCompany’s inability to retain management and key employees could impair the future success of the Company.
The Company’s future success depends substantially on the continued services of its executive officers and its key development personnel. If one or more of its executive officers or key development personnel were unable or unwilling to continue in their present positions, the Company might not be able to replace them easily or at all. In addition, if any of its executive officers or key employees joins a competitor or forms a competing company, the Company may lose experience, know-how, key professionals and staff members as well as business partners. These executive officers and key employees could develop drone technologies that could compete with and take customers and market share away from the Company.
TheCompany faces uncertainty and adverse changes in the economy.
Adverse changes in the economy could negatively impact the Company’s business. Future economic distress may result in a decrease in demand for the Company’s products, which could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s operating results and financial condition. Uncertainty and adverse changes in the economy could also increase costs associated with developing and publishing products, increase the cost and decrease the availability of sources of financing, and increase the Company’s exposure to material losses from bad debts, any of which could have a material adverse impact on the financial condition and operating results of the Company.
TheCompany is subject to certain market-based financial risks associated with its operations.
The Company could be subject to interest rate risks, which is the risk that the value of a financial instrument might be adversely affected by a change in the interest rates. In seeking to minimize the risks from interest rate fluctuations, the Company manages exposure through its normal operating and financing activities, however market fluctuations could increase the costs at which the Company can access capital and its ability to obtain financing and the Company’s cash balances carry a floating rate of interest. In addition, the Company engages in transactions in currencies other than its functional currency. Depending on the timing of these transactions and the applicable currency exchange rates, conversions to the Company’s functional currency may positively or negatively impact the Company.

Negativemacroeconomics and geopolitical trends could affect market and economic conditions.
The global credit and financial markets have experienced extreme volatility and disruptions in the past several years, including severely diminished liquidity and credit availability, rising inflation and monetary supply shifts, rising interest rates, supply chain constraints, labor shortages, declines in consumer confidence, declines in economic growth, increases in unemployment rates, recession risks and uncertainty about economic stability. For instance, ongoing instability and current conflicts in global markets, and the potential for other conflicts and future terrorist activities, as well as other recent geopolitical events throughout the world, including new or increased tariffs and potential trade wars, have created and may continue to create economic and political uncertainties and impacts that could have a material adverse effect on our business, operations, and profitability. Sanctions imposed by the United States and other countries in response to military conflicts, including the one in Ukraine, may also adversely impact the financial markets and the global economy, and any economic countermeasures by the affected countries or others could exacerbate market and economic instability. If credit in financial markets outside of the United States tightened, it could adversely affect the ability of our international customers and suppliers to obtain financing and could result in a decrease in or cancellation of orders for our products, systems and services or impact the ability of our customers to make payments. However, notwithstanding our current and anticipated position, these types of matters can cause uncertainty in financial markets and may significantly increase the political, economic and social instability in geographic areas in which we operate now or may operate in the future. The extent of the impact of these conditions on our operational and financial performance, including our ability to execute our business strategies and initiatives in the expected timeframe, as well as that of third parties upon whom we rely, will depend on future developments which are uncertain and cannot be predicted. There can be no assurance that further deterioration in credit and financial markets and confidence in economic conditions will not occur. Events involving limited liquidity, defaults, non-performance or other adverse developments that affect financial institutions, or concerns or rumors about any events of these kinds or other similar risks, have in the past and may in the future lead to market-wide liquidity problems. Our general business strategy may be adversely affected by any such economic downturn, volatile business environment or continued unpredictable and unstable market conditions. If the current equity and credit markets deteriorate, it may make any necessary debt or equity financing more difficult, more costly and more dilutive. Failure to secure any necessary financing in a timely manner and on favorable terms could have a material adverse effect on our growth strategy, financial performance and stock price and could require us to delay or abandon clinical development plans. In addition, there is a risk that one or more of our current suppliers or other partners may not survive an economic downturn, which could directly affect our ability to attain our operating goals on schedule and on budget.
TheCompany may be subject to the risks associated with foreign operations in other countries.
The Company’s primary revenues are expected to be achieved in Canada and the US. However, the Company may expand to markets outside of North America and become subject to risks normally associated with conducting business in other countries. As a result of such expansion, the Company may be subject to the legal, political, social and regulatory requirements and economic conditions of foreign jurisdictions. The Company cannot predict government positions on such matters as foreign investment, intellectual property rights or taxation. A change in government positions on these issues could adversely affect the Company’s business.
If the Company expands its business to foreign markets, it will need to respond to rapid changes in market conditions, including differing legal, regulatory, economic, social and political conditions in these countries. If the Company is not able to develop and implement policies and strategies that are effective in each location in which it does business, then the Company’s business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.
Thereare tax risks the Company may be subject to in carrying on business in Canada.
The Company is a resident of Canada for purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada). Since the Company is operating in a new and developing industry there is a risk that foreign governments may look to increase their tax revenues or levy additional taxes to level the playing field for perceived disadvantages to traditional brick and mortar businesses. There is no guarantee that governments will not impose such additional adverse taxes in the future.

Ifcritical components or raw materials used to manufacture the Company’s products become scarce or unavailable, then the Companymay incur delays in manufacturing and delivery of its products, which could damage its business.
The Company obtains hardware components, various subsystems and systems from a limited group of suppliers. The Company does not have long-term agreements with any of these suppliers that obligate it to continue to sell components, subsystems, systems or products to the Company. The Company’s reliance on these suppliers involves significant risks and uncertainties, including whether its suppliers will provide an adequate supply of required components, subsystems, or systems of sufficient quality, will increase prices for the components, subsystems or systems and will perform their obligations on a timely basis.
If the Company is unable to obtain components from third-party suppliers in the quantities and of the quality that it requires, on a timely basis and at acceptable prices, then it may not be able to deliver its products on a timely or cost-effective basis to its customers, or at all, which could cause customers to terminate their contracts with the Company, increase the Company’s costs and seriously harm its business, results of operations and financial condition. Moreover, if any of the Company’s suppliers become financially unstable, then it may have to find new suppliers. It may take several months to locate alternative suppliers, if required, or to redesign the Company’s products to accommodate components from different suppliers. The Company may experience significant delays in manufacturing and shipping its products to customers and incur additional development, manufacturing and other costs to establish alternative sources of supply if the Company loses any of these sources or is required to redesign its products. The Company cannot predict if it will be able to obtain replacement components within the time frames that it requires at an affordable cost, if at all.
Changesin U.S. trade policies or regulations.
Recent policy decisions by the U.S. presidential administration have introduced greater uncertainty with respect to trade policies, tariffs and government regulations affecting trade between the U.S. and other countries. Major developments in trade relations, such as the potential renegotiation or termination of the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement, or the imposition of unilateral tariffs or other trade barriers on products imported into the U.S. as well as retaliatory tariffs or other trade barriers imposed by the U.S.’s trading partners, could impact the availability and cost of materials, resources and services, and the availability and cost of our products to U.S. customers, which in turn may affect our competitiveness and results of operations. The implementation of previously-announced, postponed, or new tariffs, or the escalation of trade disputes which interfere with our supply chain and our sales in affected markets, could have an adverse effect on our operations and profitability. In addition, rising protectionism and anti-globalization sentiment in the United States and other countries may adversely impact long-term economic growth in the countries in which we operate, which in turn may affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Naturaloutdoor elements such as wind and precipitation may have a material adverse effect on the use and effectiveness of the Company’sproducts.
The Company’s business will involve the operation and flying of UAVs, a technology-based product used outside. As such, the business is subject to various risks inherent in a technology-based businesses operated in outdoor conditions, including faulty parts, breakdowns and crashes. Although the Company anticipates the use of its UAVs in good climactic conditions and that adequate flying conditions will be monitored by trained personnel, there can be no assurance that unpredictable natural outdoor elements, which could be exacerbated due to risks associated with climate change, will not have a material adverse effect on the use and effectiveness of its products.
TheCompany’s products may be subject to recall or return.
Manufacturers and distributors of products are sometimes subject to the recall or return of their products for a variety of reasons, including product defects, safety concerns, packaging issues and inadequate or inaccurate labeling disclosure. If any of the Company’s equipment were to be recalled due to an alleged product defect, safety concern or for any other reason, the Company could be required to incur unexpected expenses of the recall and any legal proceedings that might arise in connection with the recall. The Company may lose a significant amount of sales and may not be able to replace those sales at an acceptable margin or at all. In addition, a product recall may require significant management time and attention. Additionally, product recalls may lead to increased scrutiny of the Company’s operations by Transport Canada or other regulatory agencies, requiring further management time and attention and potential legal fees, costs and other expenses.

Ifthe Company releases defective products or services, its operating results could suffer.
Products and services designed and released by the Company involve extremely complex software programs and are difficult to develop and distribute. While the Company has quality controls in place to detect and prevent defects in its products and services before they are released, these quality controls are subject to human error, overriding, and reasonable resource constraints. Therefore, these quality controls and preventative measures may not be effective in detecting and preventing defects in the Company’s products and services before they have been released into the marketplace. In such an event, the Company could be required, or decide voluntarily, to suspend the availability of the product or services, which could significantly harm its business and operating results.
TheCompany’s products and services are complex and could have unknown defects or errors, which may give rise to legal claimsagainst the Company, diminish its brand or divert its resources from other purposes.
The Company’s UAVs rely on complex avionics, sensors, user-friendly interfaces and tightly integrated, electromechanical designs to accomplish their missions. Despite testing, the Company’s products have contained defects and errors and may in the future contain defects, errors or performance problems when first introduced, when new versions or enhancements are released, or even after these products have been used by the Company’s customers for a period of time. These problems could result in expensive and time-consuming design modifications or warranty charges, delays in the introduction of new products or enhancements, significant increases in the Company’s service and maintenance costs, exposure to liability for damages, damaged customer relationships and harm to the Company’s reputation, any of which could materially harm the Company’s results of operations and ability to achieve market acceptance. In addition, increased development and warranty costs could be substantial and could significantly reduce the Company’s operating margins.
The existence of any defects, errors, or failures in the Company’s products or the misuse of the Company’s products could also lead to product returns, recalls, or liability claims or lawsuits against it. A defect, error or failure in one of the Company’s UAV could result in injury, death or property damage and significantly damage the Company’s reputation and support for its UAV in general. The Company anticipates this risk will grow as its UAV begins to be used in Canadian domestic airspace and urban areas. The Company’s UAV test systems also have the potential to cause injury, death or property damage in the event that they are misused, malfunction or fail to operate properly due to unknown defects or errors. Although the Company maintains insurance policies, it cannot provide any assurance that this insurance will be adequate to protect the Company from all material judgments and expenses related to potential future claims or that these levels of insurance will be available in the future at economical prices or at all. A successful product liability claim could result in substantial cost to us. Even if the Company is fully insured as it relates to a particular claim, the claim could nevertheless diminish the Company’s brand and divert management’s attention and resources, which could have a negative impact on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
TheCompany could be prohibited from shipping its products to certain countries if it is unable to obtain Canadian government authorizationregarding the export of its products, or if current or future export laws limit or otherwise restrict the Company’s business.
The Company must comply with Canadian federal and provincial laws regulating the export of its products. In some cases, explicit authorization from the Canadian government is needed to export its products. The export regulations and the governing policies applicable to the Company’s business are subject to change. The Company cannot provide assurance that such export authorizations will be available for its products in the future. Compliance with these laws has not significantly limited the Company’s operations or sales in the recent past, but could significantly limit them in the future. Non-compliance with applicable export regulations could potentially expose the Company to fines, penalties and sanctions. If the Company cannot obtain required government approvals under applicable regulations, the Company may not be able to sell its products in certain international jurisdictions, which could adversely affect the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

Negativeconsumer perception regarding the Company’s products could have a material adverse effect on the demand for the Company’sproducts and the business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows of the Company.
The Company believes the UAV industry is highly dependent upon consumer perception regarding the safety, efficacy, and quality of the UAV used. Consumer perception of these products can be significantly influenced by scientific research or findings, regulatory investigations, litigation, media attention, and other publicity regarding the use of UAV. There can be no assurance that future scientific research, findings, regulatory proceedings, litigation, media attention, or other research findings or publicity will be favourable to the UAV market. Future research reports, findings, regulatory proceedings, litigation, media attention or other publicity that are perceived as less favourable than, or that question, earlier research reports, findings or publicity could have a material adverse effect on the demand for the Company’s products and the business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows of the Company. The dependence upon consumer perceptions means that adverse scientific research reports, findings, regulatory proceedings, litigation, media attention or other publicity, whether or not accurate or with merit, could have a material adverse effect on the Company, the demand for the Company’s products, and the business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows of the Company. Further, adverse publicity reports or other media attention regarding the safety, the efficacy, and quality of UAV based surveys in general, or the Company’s products specifically, could have a material adverse effect.
Ifthe Company fails to successfully promote its product brand, this could have a material adverse effect on the Company’sbusiness, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.
The Company believes that brand recognition is an important factor to its success. If the Company fails to promote its brands successfully, or if the expenses of doing so are disproportionate to any increased net sales it achieves, it would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. This will depend largely on the Company’s ability to maintain trust, be a technology leader, and continue to provide high-quality and secure technologies, products and services. Any negative publicity about the Company or its industry, the quality and reliability of the Company’s technologies, products and services, the Company’s risk management processes, changes to the Company’s technologies, products and services, its ability to effectively manage and resolve customer complaints, its privacy and security practices, litigation, regulatory activity, and the experience of sellers and buyers with the Company’s products or services, could adversely affect the Company’s reputation and the confidence in and use of the Company’s technologies, products and services. Harm to the Company’s brand can arise from many sources, including; failure by the Company or its partners to satisfy expectations of service and quality; inadequate protection of sensitive information; compliance failures and claims; litigation and other claims; employee misconduct; and misconduct by the Company’s partners, service providers, or other counterparties. If the Company does not successfully maintain a strong and trusted brand, its business could be materially and adversely affected.
Maintenanceof Successful Relationships with Counterparties
Management of the Company has broad discretion to enter into partnerships and similar arrangements with other industry participants, to evaluate and pursue future growth. In the past, the Company has announced partnerships or similar arrangements with AeroCine Ventures, Inc. d/b/a Vermeer, SkyeBrowse Inc., CODAN Communications, AgileMesh, Inc., Arabian Aero Investment LLC, Ulkatcho Group of Companies, Knightscope, Inc., Doddle Labs, UXV Technologies, Squamish Search and Rescue, ParaZero Technologies Ltd., the Institute for Drone Technologies, and other industry participants. Our counterparties often participate in the development of several different companies, including concepts and products that compete with ours, may not devote adequate resources to development of partnerships with the Company or the Company’s management may determine, after review and evaluation, that a partnership will not result in future growth for various business reasons. Accordingly, there is no guarantee that a partnership or similar arrangement announced by the Company will be maintained or result in the future growth of operations, financial conditions and prospects and accordingly investors should refer to the Company’s financial statements for additional information on these opportunities and their status.

TheCompany may be subject to electronic communication security risks.
A significant potential vulnerability of electronic communications is the security of transmission of confidential information over public networks. Cyberattacks could result in unauthorized access to the Company’s computer systems or its third-party IT service provider’s systems and, if successful, misappropriate personal or confidential information. Anyone who is able to circumvent the Company’s security measures could misappropriate proprietary information or cause interruptions in its operations. The Company may be required to expend capital and other resources to protect against such security breaches or to alleviate problems caused by such breaches.
The last few years have seen an increase in the volume and sophistication of targeted cyber-attacks. A failure of the Company’s IT infrastructure could severely limit the Company’s ability to conduct ordinary operations or expose the Company to liability. To date, the Company’s systems have functioned capably, and it has not experienced a material impact to its operations as a result of an IT infrastructure issue. Data security breaches suffered by well-known companies and institutions have attracted a substantial amount of media attention, prompting new foreign, federal, provincial and state laws and legislative proposals addressing data privacy and security. As a result, the Company may become subject to more extensive requirements to protect the customer information that it processes in connection with the purchase of its products, resulting in increased compliance costs.
While the Company has taken measures to protect against cyberattacks, even the most well-protected IT networks, systems and facilities remain potentially vulnerable because the techniques used in attempted security breaches are continually evolving and generally are not recognized until launched against a target or, in some cases, are designed not to be detected and, in fact, may not be detected. Any such compromise of the Company’s or its third party’s IT service providers’ data security and access, public disclosure, or loss of personal or confidential business information, could result in legal claims and proceedings, liability under laws to protect privacy of personal information, and regulatory penalties, and could disrupt the Company’s operations, require significant management attention and resources to remedy any damages that result, and damage our reputation and customers willingness to transact business with us, any of which could adversely affect our business.
TheCompany’s business could be adversely affected if its consumer protection and data privacy practices are not perceived asadequate or there are breaches of its security measures or unintended disclosures of its consumer data.
The rate of privacy law-making is accelerating globally and interpretation and application of consumer protection and data privacy laws in Canada, the United States, Europe and elsewhere are often uncertain, contradictory and in flux. As business practices are being challenged by regulators, private litigants, and consumer protection agencies around the world, it is possible that these laws may be interpreted and applied in a manner that is inconsistent with the Company’s data and/or consumer protection practices. If so, this could result in increased litigation government or court-imposed fines, judgments or orders requiring that the Company change its practices, which could have an adverse effect on its business and reputation. Complying with these various laws could cause the Company to incur substantial costs or require it to change its business practices in a manner adverse to its business.
TheCompany relies on its business partners, and they may be given access to sensitive and proprietary information in order to provideservices and support to the Company’s teams.
The Company relies on various business partners, including third-party service providers, vendors, licensing partners, development partners, and licensees, among others, in some areas of the Company’s business. In some cases, these third parties are given access to sensitive and proprietary information in order to provide services and support to the Company’s teams. These third parties may misappropriate the Company’s information and engage in unauthorized use of it. The failure of these third parties to provide adequate services and technologies, or the failure of the third parties to adequately maintain or update their services and technologies, could result in a disruption to the Company’s business operations. Further, disruptions in the financial markets and economic downturns may adversely affect the Company’s business partners and they may not be able to continue honoring their obligations to the Company. Alternative arrangements and services may not be available to the Company on commercially reasonable terms or the Company may experience business interruptions upon a transition to an alternative partner or vendor. If the Company loses one or more significant business partners, the Company’s business could be harmed.

Ifthe Company fails to protect, or incurs significant costs in defending, its intellectual property and other proprietary rights,the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations could be materially harmed.
The Company’s success depends, in large part, on its ability to protect its intellectual property and other proprietary rights. The Company relies primarily on patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets and unfair competition laws, as well as license agreements and other contractual provisions, to protect the Company’s intellectual property and other proprietary rights. However, a portion of the Company’s technology is not patented, and the Company may be unable or may not seek to obtain patent protection for this technology. Moreover, existing Canadian legal standards relating to the validity, enforceability and scope of protection of intellectual property rights offer only limited protection, may not provide the Company with any competitive advantages, and may be challenged by third parties. The laws of countries other than Canada may be even less protective of intellectual property rights. Accordingly, despite its efforts, the Company may be unable to prevent third parties from infringing upon or misappropriating its intellectual property or otherwise gaining access to the Company’s technology. Unauthorized third parties may try to copy or reverse engineer the Company’s products or portions of its products or otherwise obtain and use the Company’s intellectual property. Moreover, many of the Company’s employees have access to the Company’s trade secrets and other intellectual property. If one or more of these employees leave to work for one of the Company’s competitors, then they may disseminate this proprietary information, which may as a result damage the Company’s competitive position. If the Company fails to protect its intellectual property and other proprietary rights, then the Company’s business, results of operations or financial condition could be materially harmed. From time to time, the Company may have to initiate lawsuits to protect its intellectual property and other proprietary rights. Pursuing these claims is time consuming and expensive and could adversely impact the Company’s results of operations.
In addition, affirmatively defending the Company’s intellectual property rights and investigating whether the Company is pursuing a product or service development that may violate the rights of others may entail significant expense. Any of the Company’s intellectual property rights may be challenged by others or invalidated through administrative processes or litigation. If the Company resorts to legal proceedings to enforce its intellectual property rights or to determine the validity and scope of the intellectual property or other proprietary rights of others, then the proceedings could result in significant expense to the Company and divert the attention and efforts of the Company’s management and technical employees, even if the Company prevails.
Obtainingand maintaining the Company’s patent protection depends on compliance with various procedural, document submission, fee payment,and other requirements imposed by governmental patent agencies, and its patent protection could be reduced or eliminated for non-compliancewith these requirements.
The CIPO, the USPTO and various foreign national or international patent agencies require compliance with a number of procedural, documentary, fee payment, and other similar provisions during the patent application process. Periodic maintenance fees on any issued patent are due to be paid to the CIPO, the USPTO and various foreign national or international patent agencies in several stages over the lifetime of the patent. While an inadvertent lapse can in many cases be cured by payment of a late fee or by other means in accordance with the applicable rules, there are situations in which non-compliance can result in abandonment or lapse of the patent or patent application, resulting in partial or complete loss of patent rights in the relevant jurisdiction. Non-compliance events that could result in abandonment or lapse of patent rights include, but are not limited to, failure to timely file national and regional stage patent applications based on the Company’s international patent application, failure to respond to official actions within prescribed time limits, non-payment of fees, and failure to properly legalize and submit formal documents. If the Company fails to maintain the patents and patent applications covering its product candidates, its competitors might be able to enter the market, which would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business.

While a patent may be granted by a national patent office, there is no guarantee that the granted patent is valid. Options exist to challenge the validity of a patent which, depending upon the jurisdiction, may include re-examination, opposition proceedings before the patent office, and/or invalidation proceedings before the relevant court. Patent validity may also be the subject of a counterclaim to an allegation of patent infringement.
Pending patent applications may be challenged by third parties in protest or similar proceedings. Third parties can typically submit prior art material to patentability for review by the patent examiner. Regarding Patent Cooperation Treaty applications, a positive opinion regarding patentability issued by the International Searching Authority does not guarantee allowance of a national application derived from the Patent Cooperation Treaty application. The coverage claimed in a patent application can be significantly reduced before the patent is issued, and the patent’s scope can be modified after issuance. It is also possible that the scope of claims granted may vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.
The grant of a patent does not have any bearing on whether the invention described in the patent application would infringe the rights of earlier filed patents. It is possible to both obtain patent protection for an invention and yet still infringe the rights of an earlier granted patent.
TheCompany may be sued by third parties for alleged infringement of their proprietary rights, which could be costly, time-consumingand limit the Company’s ability to use certain technologies in the future.
The Company may become subject to claims that its technologies infringe upon the intellectual property or other proprietary rights of third parties. Any claims, with or without merit, could be time-consuming and expensive, and could divert the Company’s management’s attention away from the execution of its business plan. Moreover, any settlement or adverse judgment resulting from these claims could require the Company to pay substantial amounts or obtain a license to continue to use the disputed technology, or otherwise restrict or prohibit the Company’s use of the technology. The Company cannot assure that it would be able to obtain a license from the third party asserting the claim on commercially reasonable terms, if at all, that the Company would be able to develop alternative technology on a timely basis, if at all, or that the Company would be able to obtain a license to use a suitable alternative technology to permit the Company to continue offering, and the Company’s customers to continue using, the Company’s affected product. An adverse determination also could prevent the Company from offering its products to others. Infringement claims asserted against the Company may have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations or financial condition.
Ouruse of open-source software could negatively affect our ability to sell our products and could subject us to possible litigation.
We incorporate open-source software into our products. Open-source software is generally licensed by its authors or other third parties under open-source licenses.

TheCompany may not be able to protect its intellectual property rights throughout the world.
Filing, prosecuting, and defending patents on all of the Company’s product candidates throughout the world would be prohibitively expensive. Therefore, the Company has filed applications and/or obtained patents only in key markets including the United States and Canada. Competitors may use the Company’s technologies in jurisdictions where it has not obtained patent protection to develop their own products and their products may compete with products of the Company.
Ifour customers are not satisfied with our technical support, firmware or software updates, they may choose not to purchase our productswhich would adversely impact business and operating results.
Our business relies on our customers’ satisfaction with the technical support, firmware, software and security updates we provide to support our products. If we fail to provide technical support services and necessary updates that are (i) responsive, (ii) satisfy our customers’ expectations and (iii) resolve issues that they encounter with our products, then customers may choose not to purchase additional products and we may face brand and reputational harm which could adversely affect our operating results.
Ifthe Company is required to write down goodwill and other intangible assets, the Company’s financial condition and resultscould be negatively affected.
Goodwill impairment arises when there is deterioration in the capabilities of acquired assets to generate cash flows, and the fair value of the goodwill dips below its book value. The Company is required to review its goodwill for impairment at least annually. Events that may trigger goodwill impairment include deterioration in economic conditions, increased competition, loss of key personnel, and regulatory action. Should any of these occur, an impairment of goodwill or other intangible assets relating to the acquisition of Dronelogics Systems Inc. could have a negative effect on the assets of the Company.
Fromtime to time, the Company may become involved in legal proceedings, which could adversely affect the Company.
The Company may, from time to time in the future, become subject to legal proceedings, claims, litigation and government investigations or inquiries, which could be expensive, lengthy, and disruptive to normal business operations. In addition, the outcome of any legal proceedings, claims, litigation, investigations or inquiries may be difficult to predict and could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results, or financial condition.
TheCompany’s directors and officers may have conflicts of interest in conducting their duties.
Because directors and officers of the Company are or may become directors or officers of other reporting companies or have significant shareholdings in other technology companies, the directors and officers of the Company may have conflicts of interest in conducting their duties. The Company and its directors and officers will attempt to minimize such conflicts. In the event that such a conflict of interest arises at a meeting of the directors of the Company, a director who has such a conflict will abstain from voting for or against a particular matter in which the director has the conflict. In appropriate cases, the Company will establish a special committee of independent directors to review a particular matter in which several directors, or officers, may have a conflict. In determining whether or not the Company will participate in a particular program and the interest therein to be acquired by it, the directors will primarily consider the potential benefits to the Company, the degree of risk to which the Company may be exposed and its financial position at that time. Other than as indicated, the Company has no other procedures or mechanisms to deal with conflicts of interest.
The Company’s Articles provide that it must indemnify a director or former director against all judgments, penalties or fines to which such person is or may be liable by reason of such person being or having been a director of the Company and the executive officers and directors may also have rights to indemnification from the Company, including pursuant to directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies, that will survive termination of their agreements.

Changesin accounting standards and subjective assumptions, estimates and judgments by management related to complex accounting matterscould significantly affect the Company’s reported financial results or financial condition.
Generally accepted accounting principles and related accounting pronouncements, implementation guidelines and interpretations with regard to a wide range of matters that are relevant to the Company’s business, including but not limited to revenue recognition, impairment of goodwill and intangible assets, inventory, income taxes and litigation, are highly complex and involve many subjective assumptions, estimates and judgments. Changes in these rules or their interpretation or changes in underlying assumptions, estimates or judgments could significantly change the Company’s reported financial performance or financial condition in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
RisksRelated to the Company’s Common Shares
Themarket price of the Common Shares is highly volatile.
The market price of the Common Shares is highly volatile and has been subject to wide fluctuations in response to a number of factors that are beyond the Company’s control, including but not limited to
| ● | revenue<br> or results of operations in any quarter failing to meet the expectations, published or otherwise, of the investment community; |
|---|---|
| ● | actual<br> or anticipated changes or fluctuations in our results of operations; |
| ● | announcements<br> by us or our competitors of new products or new or terminated significant contracts, commercial relationships or capital commitments; |
| ● | rumors<br> and market speculation involving us or other companies in our industry; |
| ● | changes<br> in our executive management team or the composition of the Boar); |
| ● | fluctuations<br> in the share prices of other companies in the technology and emerging growth sectors; |
| ● | general<br> market conditions and macroeconomic trends driven by factors outside our control, such as pandemics, geopolitical conflicts, supply<br> chain disruptions, market volatility, rising interest rates, political instability, inflation, and labor challenges, among other<br> factors; |
| ● | actual<br> or anticipated developments in our business or our competitors’ businesses or the competitive landscape generally; |
| ● | litigation<br> involving us, our industry or both, or investigations by regulators into our operations or those of competitors; |
| ● | announced<br> or completed acquisitions of businesses or technologies by us or our competitors; |
| ● | new<br> laws or regulations or new interpretations of existing laws or regulations applicable to our business; |
| ● | shareholder<br> activism and related publicity; |
| ● | foreign<br> exchange rates; and |
| ● | other<br> risk factors as set out in this AIF and in the documents incorporated by reference into this AIF. |
If the market price of our Common Shares drops significantly, shareholders could institute securities class action lawsuits against us, regardless of the merits of such claims. Such a lawsuit could cause us to incur substantial costs and could divert the time and attention of our management and other resources from the Company’s business, which could harm its business, results of operations and financial condition.

Thereis no guarantee that an active trading market for our Common Shares will be maintained on the CSE and/or the Nasdaq. Investors maynot be able to sell their Common Shares quickly or at the latest market price if the trading in our Common Shares is not active.
Our Common Shares are currently listed on the CSE, Nasdaq, and the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, however, our shareholders may be unable to sell significant quantities of Common Shares into the public trading markets without a significant reduction in the price of their Common Shares, or at all and there can be no guarantee that an active trading market for the Common Shares may be maintained. There can be no assurance that there will be sufficient liquidity of our Common Shares on the trading market, and that we will continue to meet the listing requirements of the CSE, the Nasdaq or any other public listing exchange.
Failureto meet Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements could result in the delisting of the Company’s Common Shares, negativelyimpact the price of the Company’s Common Shares and negatively impact its ability to raise additional capital.
If the Company fails to satisfy the continued listing requirements of the Nasdaq, such as corporate governance requirements or the minimum closing bid price requirement, the exchange may take steps to delist the Company’s Common Shares. Such a delisting would likely have a negative effect on the price of the Company’s Common Shares and would impair shareholders’ ability to sell or purchase its Common Shares when they wish to do so.
As previously disclosed, in September 2023 and March 2024, the Nasdaq informed the Company that it was not in compliance with the $1 bid price requirement in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Bid Price Requirement”) and that, in March 2024, the Company’s Common Shares were subject to delisting from Nasdaq. The Company requested a hearing before a Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “NasdaqPanel”) with such request automatically staying any suspension or delisting action pending the hearing and the expiration of any additional extension period granted by the Nasdaq Panel following the hearing.
In April 2024, the Company received notification that it failed to comply with the Minimum Stockholders’ Equity Requirement which served as an additional and separate basis for delisting. Following the May 21st hearing, the Nasdaq Panel granted an additional extension period with regard to the Bid Price Requirement that would expire on September 17, 2024. In addition, at the hearing, the Company presented a plan to regain compliance with the Minimum Stockholders’ Equity Requirement which plan the Company implemented on August 7, 2024 via amendments to warrants issued in October 2023 and in May 2024.
On October 1, 2024, Nasdaq informed the Company that it had regained compliance with the Bid Price Requirement and the Minimum Stockholders’ Equity Requirement. The letter from Nasdaq further informed the Company that it is subject to a Mandatory Panel Monitor for a period of one year from October 1, 2024. If, within that one-year monitoring period, the Company is again out of compliance with the Minimum Stockholders’ Equity Requirement, the Company will not be afforded the opportunity to present a plan of compliance to Nasdaq with respect to that deficiency nor additional time to cure that deficiency. Instead, Nasdaq will issue a Delist Determination Letter and the Company will have the opportunity to request a hearing before a Nasdaq Panel to respond to such letter.
Futureissuances of equity securities by us or sales by our existing shareholders may cause the price of our Common Shares to fall.
The market price of our Common Shares could decline as a result of issuances of securities or sales by our existing shareholders in the market, including by our directors, executive officers and significant shareholders, or the perception that these sales could occur. Sales of our Common Shares by shareholders might also make it more difficult for us to sell Common Shares at a time and price that we deem appropriate. We also expect to issue Common Shares in the future. Future issuances of Common Shares, or the perception that such issuances are likely to occur, could affect the prevailing trading prices of the Common Shares.

Wemay never pay dividends over the foreseeable future.
Investors should not rely on an investment in our Common Shares to provide dividend income. The Company does not anticipate that it will pay any cash dividends to holders of its Common Shares in the foreseeable future. Instead, the Company plans to retain any earnings to maintain and expand its operations. In addition, any future debt financing arrangement may contain terms prohibiting or limiting the amount of dividends that may be declared or paid on its Common Shares. Accordingly, investors must rely on sales of their Common Shares after price appreciation, which may never occur, as the only way to realize any return on their investment. As a result, investors seeking cash dividends should not purchase the Company’s Common Shares.
UnitedStates investors may not be able to obtain enforcement of civil liabilities against us.
The Company is incorporated under the laws of British Columbia, Canada, and its principal executive offices are located in Canada. Most of the Company’s directors and officers and most of the experts named in this AIF reside outside of the United States and all or a substantial portion of the Company’s assets and the assets of these persons are located outside the United States. Consequently, it may not be possible for an investor to effect service of process within the United States on the Company or those persons. Furthermore, it may not be possible for an investor to enforce judgments obtained in United States courts based upon the civil liability provisions of United States federal securities laws or other laws of the United States against those persons or the Company. There is doubt as to the enforceability, in original actions in Canadian courts, of liabilities based upon United States federal securities laws and as to the enforceability in Canadian courts of judgments of United States courts obtained in actions based upon the civil liability provisions of the United States federal securities laws. Therefore, it may not be possible to enforce those actions against the Company, certain of the Company’s directors and officers or the experts named in this AIF.
Weare an emerging growth company and take advantage of reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies, whichcould make our Common Shares less attractive to investors.
We are an “emerging growth company” as defined in the JOBS Act. We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest to occur of (i) the last day of the fiscal year in which we have total annual gross revenue of $1.07 billion or more; (ii) December 31, 2026 (the last day of the fiscal year ending after the fifth anniversary of the date of the completion of the first sales of its common equity pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act); (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the prior three-year period; or (iv) the date we qualify as a “large accelerated filer” under the rules of the SEC, which means the market value of our Common Shares held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of its most recently completed second fiscal quarter after we have been a reporting company in the United States for at least 12 months. For so long as we remain an emerging growth company, we are permitted to and intend to rely upon exemptions from certain disclosure requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies. These exemptions include not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 (“Section 404”) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (2002), as amended (the “Sarbanes-OxleyAct”).
We may take advantage of some, but not all, of the available exemptions available to emerging growth companies. We cannot predict whether investors will find our Common Shares less attractive if we rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our Common Shares less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our Common Shares and the price of our Common Shares may be more volatile.
Wewill incur increased costs as a result of operating as a public company in the United States and our management will be requiredto devote substantial time to new compliance initiatives.
As a U.S. public company, particularly if or when we are no longer an “emerging growth company” as defined under the JOBS Act, we incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses, in addition to those we incur as a Canadian public company, that we did not incur prior to being listed on Nasdaq. In addition, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and rules implemented by the SEC and Nasdaq impose various other requirements on public companies, and we spend time and resources to ensure compliance with our reporting obligations in both Canada and the United States.
| Draganfly Inc. | Annual Information Form | Page 43 |
| --- | --- |
For example, pursuant to Section 404, we are required to furnish a report by our management on our internal control over financial reporting (“ICFR”), which, if or when we are no longer an emerging growth company, must be accompanied by an attestation report on ICFR issued by our independent registered public accounting firm. To achieve compliance with Section 404, we must document and evaluate our ICFR, which is both costly and challenging. In this regard, we must dedicate internal resources, potentially engage outside consultants and adopt a detailed work plan to assess and document the adequacy of our ICFR, continue steps to improve control processes as appropriate, validate through testing that controls are functioning as documented and implement a continuous reporting and improvement process for ICFR. Despite our efforts, there is a risk that neither we nor our independent registered public accounting firm will be able to conclude that our ICFR is effective as required by Section 404. This could result in a determination that there are one or more material weaknesses in our ICFR, which could cause an adverse reaction in the financial markets due to a loss of confidence in the reliability of our consolidated financial statements.
In addition, becoming a public company in the United States has increased legal and financial compliance as well as regulatory costs, such as additional Nasdaq fees, and has made some of our public company obligations more time consuming. We invest resources to comply with evolving laws, regulations and standards in both Canada and the United States, and this investment results in increased general and administrative expenses and increased diversion of management’s time and attention from revenue-generating activities to compliance activities. If our efforts to comply with public company laws, regulations and standards in the United States are insufficient, regulatory authorities may initiate legal proceedings against us and our business may be harmed.
Being a public company in the United States and complying with applicable rules and regulations also makes it more expensive for us to obtain sufficient levels of director and officer liability insurance coverage. This factor may also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified executive officers and members of our Board of Directors.
TheCompany may lose its foreign private issuer status in the future.
The Company may in the future lose its foreign private issuer status if a majority of the Common Shares are owned of record in the United States and the Company fails to meet the additional requirements necessary to avoid loss of foreign private issuer status. The regulatory and compliance costs to the Company under U.S. federal securities laws as a U.S. domestic issuer may be significantly more than the costs the Company incurs as a Canadian foreign private issuer eligible to use a multi-jurisdictional disclosure system (the “MJDS”) adopted in the United States and Canada. If the Company is not a foreign private issuer, it would not be eligible to use the MJDS or other foreign issuer forms and would be required to file periodic and current reports and registration statements on U.S. domestic issuer forms with the SEC, which are more detailed and extensive than the forms available to a foreign private issuer.
Asa foreign private issuer, we are subject to different U.S. securities laws and rules than a domestic U.S. issuer, which may limitthe information publicly available to the Company’s U.S. shareholders.
We currently qualify as a “foreign private issuer” under applicable U.S. federal securities laws and, therefore, are not required to comply with all of the periodic disclosure and current reporting requirements of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and related rules and regulations. As a result, we do not file the same reports that a U.S. domestic issuer would file with the SEC, although we are required to file with or furnish to the SEC the continuous disclosure documents that we are required to file in Canada under Canadian securities laws. In addition, our officers, directors and principal shareholders are exempt from the reporting and “short swing” profit recovery provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act. Therefore, our shareholders may not know on as timely a basis when our officers, directors and principal shareholders purchase or sell our securities as the reporting periods under the corresponding Canadian insider reporting requirements are longer. In addition, as a foreign private issuer, we are exempt from the proxy rules under the Exchange Act. We are also exempt from Regulation FD, which prohibits issuers from making selective disclosures of material non-public information. While we expect to comply with the corresponding requirements relating to proxy statements and disclosure of material non-public information under Canadian securities laws, these requirements differ from those under the Exchange Act and Regulation FD and shareholders should not expect to receive in every case the same information at the same time as such information is provided by U.S. domestic issuers.

As of the Effective Date, there are no securities that are currently held in escrow or that are subject to contractual restriction on transfer.
DIVIDENDS
The Company has not declared or paid a dividend. Other than the requirements of the BCBCA, there are no restrictions on the Company that would prevent it from paying a dividend.

To the shareholders and the board of directors of Draganfly Inc.
Opinionon the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of Draganfly Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of comprehensive loss, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows, for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.
Basisfor Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Foreigncurrency translation
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at rates of exchange at the time of such transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the reporting period rate of exchange. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at historical exchange rates. Gains and losses resulting from foreign exchange adjustments are included in profit or loss.
The functional currencies of the parent company and each subsidiary are as follows:
| Draganfly<br> Inc. | Canadian<br> Dollar |
|---|---|
| Draganfly<br> Innovations Inc. | Canadian<br> Dollar |
| Draganfly<br> Innovations USA, Inc. | US<br> Dollar |
| Dronelogics<br> Systems Inc. | Canadian<br> Dollar |
Financial statements of subsidiaries for which the functional currency is not the Canadian dollar are translated into Canadian dollars as follows: all asset and liability accounts are translated at the year-end exchange rate and all revenue and expense accounts and cash flow statement items are translated at average exchange rates for the year. The resulting translation gains and losses are recorded as exchange differences on translation of foreign operations in other comprehensive loss.
Equitytransactions
The Company uses the residual value method with respect to the measurement of shares and warrants issued as private placement units for equity treatment warrants, whereby the carrying amount of the warrants is determined based on any difference between gross proceeds received and the estimated fair market value of the common shares. If the proceeds from the offering are less than or equal to the estimated fair market value of common shares issued, no value is assigned to the warrants. Warrants that are issued as payment to a finder or other transaction costs are accounted for as share-based payments.
Share-basedpayments
The Company may grant stock options or restricted share units (“RSU’s”) to its directors, officers, employees and consultants. The Company records share-based compensation related to stock options using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model.
The RSU’s granted entitle an employee, director or officer to either the issuance of common shares or cash payments payable upon vesting with terms determined by the Company’s Board of Directors at the time of the grant. If on the grant date it is determined there is an obligation to settle in cash, the RSU’s are accounted for as liabilities, with the fair value remeasured at the end of each reporting period and on the settlement date. Changes in fair value are recognized in profit and loss. Expense is recognized over the vesting period.

The Company has a present obligation to settle in cash if the choice of settlement in shares has no commercial substance, or the Company has a past practice or a stated policy of setting in cash, or generally settles in cash whenever the counterparty asks for cash settlement. If no such obligation exists, RSUs are accounted for as equity settled share-based payments and are valued using the share price on grant date. Upon settlement:
| a) | If<br> the Company elects to settle in cash, the cash payment is accounted for as the repurchase of an equity interest (i.e. as a deduction<br> from equity), except as noted in (c) below. |
|---|---|
| b) | If<br> the Company elects to settle by issuing shares, the value of RSUs initially recognized in reserves is reclassified to share capital,<br> except as noted in (c) below. |
| c) | If<br> the Company elects the settlement alternative with the higher fair value, as at the date of settlement, the Company recognizes an<br> additional expense for the excess value given (i.e. the difference between the cash paid and the fair value of shares that would<br> otherwise have been issued, or the difference between the fair value of the shares and the amount of cash that would otherwise have<br> been paid, whichever is applicable). |
The aggregate sales price or amount of common shares issued during any consecutive 12-month period will not exceed the greatest of the following: (i) USD $1,000,000; (ii) 15% of the total assets of the Company, measured at the Company’s most recent balance sheet date; or (iii) 15% of the outstanding amount of the common shares of the Company, measured at the Company’s most recent balance sheet date. At the election of the Board of Directors, upon each vesting date, participants receive (a) the issuance of common shares from treasury equal to the number of RSUs vesting, or (b) a cash payment equal to the number of vested RSUs multiplied by the fair market value of a common share, calculated as the closing price of the common shares on the CSE for the trading day immediately preceding such payment date; or (c) a combination of (a) and (b).
In conjunction with private placements or brokered financings, the Company may issue compensatory warrants to agents as consideration for services provided. Awards of grants are accounted for in accordance with the fair value method of accounting and result in an increase in share issue costs and a credit to warrants within shareholders’ equity when warrants are issued.
Lossper share
Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding in the year.
Diluted
income per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to common shareholders of the parent by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year plus the weighted average number of common shares that would be issued on the conversion of all the dilutive potential common shares into common shares. The Company had 4,592,443 warrants, 23,858 options and 413,151 RSU’s that would be potentially dilutive if the Company were not in a loss position and were to calculate diluted income per share.

FinancialInstruments
Financial instruments are accounted for in accordance with IFRS 9 Financial Instruments: Classification and Measurement. A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.
| Financial assets/liabilities | Classification |
|---|---|
| Cash<br> and cash equivalents | Fair<br> value through profit or loss |
| Receivables | Amortized<br> cost |
| Notes<br> receivable | Fair<br> value through profit or loss |
| Investments | Fair<br> value through other comprehensive income |
| Trade<br> payables | Amortized<br> cost |
| Customer<br> deposits | Amortized<br> cost |
| Derivative<br> liability | Fair<br> value through profit or loss |
| a) | Financial assets |
|---|
Classificationand measurement
The Company classifies its financial assets in the following categories: at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”), at fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVTOCI”) or at amortized cost. The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial assets were acquired. Management determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition.
The classification of debt instruments is driven by the business model for managing the financial assets and their contractual cash flow characteristics. Debt instruments are measured at amortized cost if the business model is to hold the instrument for collection of contractual cash flows and those cash flows are solely principal and interest. If the cash flows are not solely principal and interest, it is classified as FVTPL. Financial assets with embedded derivatives are considered in their entirety when determining whether their cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest.
Equity instruments that are held for trading (including all equity derivative instruments) are classified as FVTPL, for other equity instruments, on the day of acquisition the Company can make an irrevocable election (on an instrument by-instrument
basis) to designate them as at FVTOCI.
Financialassets at FVTPL
Financial assets carried at FVTPL are initially recorded at fair value and transaction costs are recorded to profit or loss. Realized and unrealized gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of financial assets held at FVTPL are included in the profit or loss in the period in which they arise. Derivatives are also categorized as FVTPL unless they are designated as hedges.
Financialassets at FVTOCI
Financial assets carried at FVTOCI are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs. Subsequently they are measured at fair value, with gains and losses arising from changes in fair value recognized in other comprehensive income. There is no subsequent reclassification of fair value gains and losses to profit or loss following the derecognition of the investment.
Financialassets at amortized cost
Financial assets at amortized cost are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently carried at amortized cost less any impairment. They are classified as current assets or non-current assets based on their maturity date.

Impairmentof financial assets at amortized cost
The Company uses the “expected credit loss” model for calculating impairment and recognizes expected credit losses as a loss allowance for assets measured at amortized cost. The Company’s trade and other receivables are typically short-term with payments received within a twelve month period and do not have a significant financing component, therefore, the Company recognized an amount equal to the life time expected credit losses based on the Company’s historical experience. The carrying amount of these assets is net of any loss allowance. Specific reserves may be created for individual customers in exceptional circumstances. Bad debts are written off against the reserve.
Derecognitionof financial assets
Financial assets are derecognized when the risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred. Gains and losses on derecognition of financial assets classified as FVTPL or amortized cost are recorded to profit or loss. Gains or losses on financial assets classified as FVTOCI remain within accumulated other comprehensive loss.
| b) | Financial liabilities |
|---|
The Company classifies its financial liabilities into one of two categories as follows:
FVTPL
- This category comprises derivatives and financial liabilities incurred principally for the purpose of selling or repurchasing in the near term. They are carried at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in profit or loss.
Other financial liabilities - This category consists of liabilities carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Trade payables and customer deposits are included in this category.
Derecognitionof financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognized when its contractual obligations are discharged, cancelled, or expire. The Company also derecognizes a financial liability when the terms of the liability are modified such that the terms and/or cash flows of the modified instrument are substantially different, in which case a new financial liability based on the modified terms is recognized at fair value. Gains and losses on derecognition are recognized in profit or loss.
Impairmentof non-financial assets
The carrying amounts of the non-financial assets are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If indicators exist, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. The recoverable amounts of the following types of intangible assets are measured annually, whether or not there is any indication that it may be impaired:
| ● | an<br> intangible asset with an indefinite useful life; and |
|---|---|
| ● | an<br> intangible asset not yet available for use; |
The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit (“CGU”) is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less
costs to sell. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.
If there is an indication that a corporate asset may be impaired, then the recoverable amount is determined for the CGU to which the corporate asset belongs.

An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset or its CGU exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognized in profit or loss. Impairment losses recognized in respect of CGUs are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the CGU, and then to reduce the carrying amounts of the other assets in the CGU on a pro rata basis.
In respect of assets other than goodwill and intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives, impairment losses recognized in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed in a subsequent period when there has been an increase in the recoverable amount of a previously impaired asset or CGU. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, if no impairment loss had been recognized.
Incometaxes
Currentincome tax
Current income tax assets and liabilities for the current period are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted, at the reporting date, in the countries where the Company operates and generates taxable income.
Current income taxes relating to items recognized directly in other comprehensive income or equity is recognized in other comprehensive income or equity and not in profit or loss. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate.
Deferredincome tax
Deferred income tax is recognized, using the asset and liability method, on temporary differences at the reporting date arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting. The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and recognized only to the extent that it is probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilized. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the
reporting period. Deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities are offset, if a legally enforceable right exists
to set off current tax assets against current income tax liabilities and the deferred income taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.
Inventory
Inventory consists of raw materials and finished goods for manufacturing of multi-rotor helicopters, industrial areal video systems, civilian small unmanned aerial systems or vehicles, health monitoring equipment, and wireless video systems. Inventory is initially valued at cost and subsequently at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined using the first-in-first-out method. The cost of inventories comprises all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. The costs of purchase include the purchase price, import duties and non-recoverable taxes and transport, handling and other costs directly attributable to the acquisition of finished goods, materials or services. The costs of conversion include direct materials and labour costs and a systematic allocation of fixed and variable overheads incurred in converting materials into finished goods. The Company reviews inventory for obsolete and slow-moving goods and any such inventory is written-down to net realizable value.

Revenuerecognition
Revenue comprises the fair value of consideration received or receivable for the sale of goods and consulting services in the ordinary course of the Company’s business. Revenue is shown net of return allowances and discounts.
Salesof goods
The Company manufactures and sells a range of multi-rotor helicopters, industrial aerial video systems, and civilian small unmanned aerial systems or vehicles. Sales are recognized at a point-in-time when control of the products has transferred. The control transfer occurs in proximity to shipping. Revenue is recognized when the transfer of control has occurred.
Revenue from these sales is recognized based on the price specified in the contract, net of the estimated discounts and returns. Accumulated experience is used to estimate and provide for the discounts and returns, using the expected value method, and revenue is only recognized to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal will not occur. To date, returns have not been significant. No element of financing is deemed present as the sales are made with a credit term of 30 to 60 days, which is consistent with market practice.
Some contracts include multiple performance obligations, such as the sale of hardware and support or maintenance. Where support or maintenance is performed by another party and does not include an integration service it is accounted for as a separate performance obligation. In this case, the transaction price will be allocated to each performance obligation based on stand-alone selling price. Where the stand-alone selling price is not directly observable, the price is estimated based on expect cost plus margin. Where the support or maintenance is provided by the Company, the contract is analyzed to identify the performance obligations and transaction price. The price is then allocated across the obligations identified in the contract. Revenue is recognized when the Company satisfies a performance obligation.
Services
The Company provides consulting, custom engineering, drones as a service, and investigating and solving on a project-by-project basis under fixed-price and variable price contracts. Revenue from providing services is recognized over time as the services are rendered.
The Company provides rental of equipment which is measured based on rates through contracts or other written agreements with customers. Revenue is recognized in the period when services are performed and only when there is reasonable assurance that the revenue will be collected.
DeferredIncome
A payment received is included as deferred revenue when products have yet be shipped to the customers as of the period end or there are unfulfilled obligations related to the revenue received. The amount to be recognized within twelve months following the year-end date is classified as current.
Costof Goods Sold
Cost of sales includes the expenses incurred to acquire and produce inventory for sale, including product costs, freight costs, as well as provisions for reserves related to product shrinkage, or lower of cost and net realizable value adjustments as required.

IntangibleAssets
An intangible asset is an identifiable asset without physical substance. An asset is identifiable if it is separable, or arises from contractual or legal rights, regardless of whether those rights are transferrable or separable from the Company or from other rights and obligations. Intangible assets include intellectual property, which consists of patent and trademark applications, brands and software.
Intangible assets acquired externally are measured at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses. The cost of a group of intangible assets acquired is allocated to the individual intangible assets based on their relative fair values. The cost of intangible assets acquired externally comprises its purchase price and any directly attributable cost of preparing the asset for its intended use. Research and development costs incurred subsequent to the acquisition of externally acquired intangible assets and on internally generated intangible assets are accounted for as research and development costs.
Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over the expected life of each intellectual property to write off the cost of the assets from the date they are available for use.
SCHEDULE
OF INTANGIBLE ASSETS WITH FINITE USEFUL LIVES
| Class of intangible asset | Useful live |
|---|---|
| Customer<br> relationships | 5<br> years |
| Software | 5<br> years |
| Patents | 5<br> years |
Goodwill represents the excess of the value of the consideration transferred over the fair value of the net identifiable assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination. Goodwill is allocated to the cash generating unit to which it relates.
Equipment
Equipment is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognized. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss.
Depreciation is generally calculated on a straight-line balance method with the exception of vehicles that are on a declining balance method to write off the cost of the assets to their residual values over their estimated useful lives. Depreciation for leasehold improvements is fully expensed over the expected term of the lease. The depreciation rates applicable to each category of equipment are as follows:
SCHEDULE
OF CLASS OF EQUIPMENT
| Class of equipment | Depreciation rate |
|---|---|
| Computer<br> equipment | 3<br> years – straight line |
| Furniture<br> and equipment | 5<br> years – straight line |
| Leasehold<br> improvements | Expected<br> lease term |
| Vehicles | 30%<br> - declining balance |

Researchand development expenditures
Expenditures on research are expensed as incurred. Research activities include formulation, design, evaluation and final selection of possible alternatives, products, processes, systems or services. Development expenditures are expensed as incurred unless the Company can demonstrate all of the following:
| (i) | the<br> technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale; |
|---|---|
| (ii) | its<br> intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it; |
| (iii) | its<br> ability to use or sell the intangible asset; |
| (iv) | how<br> the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits. The Company can also demonstrate the existence of a market<br> for the output of the intangible asset or the intangible asset itself or, if it is to be used internally, the usefulness of the intangible<br> asset; |
| (v) | the<br> availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the intangible asset;<br> and |
| (vi) | its<br> ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development. |
Leases
A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. At the commencement date, the lease liability is recognized at the present value of the future lease payments and discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. A corresponding right-of-use (“ROU”) asset is recognized at the amount of the lease liability, adjusted for any lease incentives received and initial direct costs incurred. Over the term of the lease, financing expense is recognized on the lease liability using the effective interest rate method and charged to net income, lease payments are applied against the lease liability and depreciation on the ROU asset is recorded by class of underlying asset.
The lease term is the non-cancellable period of a lease plus periods covered by an optional lease extension option if it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise the option to extend. Conversely, periods covered by an option to terminate are included if the Company does not expect to end the lease during that time frame. Leases with a term of less than twelve months or leases for underlying low value assets are recognized as an expense in net income on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
A lease modification is accounted for as a separate lease if it materially changes the scope of the lease. For a modification that is not a separate lease, on the effective date of the lease modification, the Company will remeasure the lease liability and corresponding ROU asset using the interest rate implicit in the lease or the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. Any variance between the remeasured ROU asset and lease liability will be recognized as a gain or loss in net income to reflect the change in scope.
Newlyadopted accounting standards
On January 1, 2024 the Company adopted amendments to IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements, issued by IASB. The amendment is to clarify the classification of a liability as either current or non-current based on the Company’s right at the end of the reporting period. There is no material impact on the disclosures or amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements.

Newaccounting standards issued not yet effective
In April 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18, Presentation and Disclosures in Financial Statements, to replace IAS 1, Presentation ofFinancial Statements, effective January 1, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The new standard is aimed to set out overall requirements for presentation and disclosures in the financial statements. Management is reviewing the impact the standard will have on the consolidated financial statements.
In May 2024, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 9, Financial Instruments, and IFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures to address the classification and measurement of financial instruments, with an emphasis to clarify the date of recognition and derecognition of financial asset and liabilities, effective January 1, 2026, with early adoption permitted. Management is reviewing the impact of these amendments, but they are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
| 3. | MANAGEMENT JUDGEMENT AND ASSUMPTIONS |
|---|
Significantestimates and assumptions
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions about reported amounts at the date of the consolidated financial statements and in the future. The Company’s management reviews these estimates and underlying assumptions on an ongoing basis, based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Revisions to estimates are adjusted for prospectively in the period in which the estimates are revised.
Share-basedpayments
The cost of share-based payment transactions with directors, officers and employees are measured by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments. Estimating fair value for share-based payment transactions requires determining the most appropriate valuation model, which is dependent on the terms and conditions of the grant. This estimate also requires determining and making assumptions about the most appropriate inputs to the valuation model including the expected life, volatility, risk-free interest rate, expected forfeiture rate and dividend yield.
Incometaxes
Provisions for income taxes are made using the best estimate of the amount expected to be paid based on a qualitative assessment of all relevant factors. The Company reviews the adequacy of these income tax provisions at the end of each reporting period. However, it is possible that at some future date an additional liability could result from audits by tax authorities. Where the final outcome of these tax-related matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will affect the tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made. Deferred tax assets are recognized when it is determined that the Company is likely to recognize their recovery from the generation of taxable income.
Inventory
Inventory is valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is determined with reference to the estimated selling price less costs to sell. The Company estimates selling price based upon assumptions about future demand and current and anticipated retail market conditions. The future realization of these inventories may be affected by future technology or other market- driven changes that may reduce future selling prices.

Investmentsin Private companies
Where the fair value of investments in private companies recorded on the consolidated statement of financial position cannot be derived from active markets, they are determined using a variety of valuation techniques. The inputs to these models are derived from observable market data where possible, but where observable market data is not available, judgment is required to establish fair value and this value may not be indicative of the eventual recoverable value.
Expectedcredit losses on trade receivables and notes receivable
Amounts included in expected credit losses reflect the lifetime expected credit losses for trade receivables. Management determines allowances based on best estimates of future expected credit losses, considering historical credit loss experience, current economic conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions. Significant or unanticipated changes in economic conditions could impact the magnitude of future expected credit losses.
Usefullives of equipment and intangible assets
Estimates of the useful lives of equipment and intangible assets are based on the period over which the assets are expected to be available for use. The estimated useful lives are reviewed annually and are updated if expectations differ from previous estimates due to physical wear and tear, technical or commercial obsolescence, and legal or other limits on the use of the relevant assets. In addition, the estimation of the useful lives of the relevant assets may be based on internal technical evaluation and experience with similar assets. It is possible, however, that future results of operations could be materially affected by changes in the estimates brought about by changes in the factors mentioned above. The amounts and timing of recorded expenses for any period would be affected by changes in these factors and circumstances. A reduction in the estimated useful lives of the equipment would increase the recorded expenses and decrease the non-current assets.
Significantjudgments
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the Company to make judgments, apart from those involving estimates, in applying accounting policies. The most significant judgments applied to the Company’s consolidated financial statements include:
| − | The<br> assessment of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and whether there are events or conditions that may give<br> rise to significant uncertainty; |
|---|---|
| − | the<br> classification of financial instruments; |
| − | the<br> assessment of revenue recognition using the five-step approach under IFRS 15; and |
| − | the<br> determination of the functional currency of each entity in the group. |

The average trade credit allowed on the sale of goods is between 30 and 60 days from the date of shipment. Sales that require deposits are typically agreed to in advance to mitigate the potential for default.
The Company has recognized an allowance for doubtful trade receivables on accounts that are past due by more than 31 days based on best estimates of future expected credit losses and estimated irrecoverable amounts determined by reference to past experiences.
In determining the recoverability of a trade receivable, the Company considers any change in the credit quality of the trade receivable from the date credit was initially granted up to the end of the reporting year. The concentration of credit risk is limited due to the fact that the customer base is diversified. The provision for expected credit losses is as follows:
SCHEDULE
OF CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
| Balance at December 31, 2023 | (289,495 | ) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Additional amounts provided for during the year | (140,011 | ) | |
| Balance at December 31, 2024 | (429,506 | ) | |
| Additional amounts provided for during the year | (302,067 | ) | |
| Trade receivables written off during the year | 186,211 | ||
| Foreign exchange | 6,933 | ||
| Balance at December 31, 2025 | $ | (538,429 | ) |
During
the year ended December 31, 2025 the Company recorded an expected credit loss of $302,067 (2024 - $140,011).
The long-term receivable represents a refundable deposit that the Company has asked to have returned. The agreement allows for a two-year repayment term once the request has been made. Funds were requested in April of 2024. As this amount is due in less than 12 months it is now included with current receivables.
The Company assumes that the credit risk on a financial asset has increased if it is outstanding beyond the agreed payment terms. The Company considers a receivable to be default when the customer is unlikely to pay its obligations to the Company in full. The carrying amount of a receivable is written off (either partially or in full) to the extent that there is no realistic prospect of recovery.
Indicators that there is no reasonable expectation of recovery include, amongst others, business failure, the failure of a debtor to engage in a repayment plan, and a failure to make contractual payments over the negotiated contract period.

Each
RSU exercisable into one common share of the Company upon the vesting conditions being met for a period of eighteen months to 3 years from the grant date. In addition, 9,175 RSU’s were forfeited by employees who have left the Company.
During
the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recorded share-based payment expense of $1,385,510 (2024: $1,121,815) for RSU’s, based on the fair values of RSU’s granted which are calculated using the closing price of the Company’s stock on the day prior to grant.
Warrants
During the year ended December 31, 2024 the Company issued pre-funded warrants (“USD pre-funded Warrants”) where a portion of the funds related to the eventual exercise have already been received with the remaining exercise price in USD. As part of these same issuances, shares with warrants attached were issued. Being in a foreign currency that is not the Company’s functional currency and these pre-funded warrants were not issued in exchange for services, the value related to the future exercise price of the USD pre-funded Warrants are required to be recorded as a financial liability and not as equity. As a financial liability, the portion of the USD pre-funded Warrants related to the future exercise price will be revalued on a quarterly basis to fair market value with the change in fair value being recorded in profit or loss. The warrants issued with the shares are also in USD so are also accounted for as a liability. In addition, the Company also issued pre-funded warrants with an exercise price in Canadian dollars (“Pre-funded Warrants”). These are also treated as a liability as the agreement contains clauses that do not meet the fixed for fixed test. As a financial liability, the portion of the Pre-funded Warrants related to the future exercise price will be revalued on a quarterly basis to fair market value with the change in fair value being recorded in profit or loss. The warrants issued with the shares are also accounted for as a liability as these also contain clauses that do not meet the fixed for fixed test.
On August 7, 2024, the exercise price of the April 29, 2024 warrants were amended to CAD $0.2250 or CAD $5.625 on a post share consolidation basis. The exercise price of the October Warrants was reduced twice and converted to Canadian dollars for a new exercise price of CAD $5.6925. For the October 2023 issuance and the April 2024 issuance, the warrant agreements were further amended as of August 7, 2024 to remove the cashless exercise feature and any anti-dilution clauses that would lead to variability in settlement so they now meet the requirement for equity classification. The warrants were fair valued on August 7, 2024 and transferred to equity.
On November 19, 2024 the exercise prices of the April 2024 warrants, August 2024 warrants and the October 2023 warrants were amended to CAD$3.3086 from CAD$5.625 and CAD$5.6925 respectively.

The warrants issued as part of the August 2024 issuance and the November 2024 issuance were issued with a CAD exercise price, no cashless exercise feature and no anti-dilution clauses that would lead to variability in settlement.
To determine the a fair value of the warrants, a Black Scholes calculation is used, calculated in USD for those with a USD exercise price and in CAD for those with a Canadian exercise price. The Black Scholes value per warrant is then multiplied by the number of outstanding warrants and then multiplied by the foreign exchange rate at the end of the period for those denominated in USD.

|---|
As at and for the year ended December 31, 2025 the Company operates in 2 reportable segments (as at and for the year ended December 21, 2024 – 2). The Company organizes its two segments based on its product line as well as a corporate segment. The two segments are Drones and Corporate. The Drones segment derives its revenue from products and services related to the sale of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) while the Corporate segment includes all costs not directly associated with the Drone segment. The Company aggregates the information for the segments by analyzing the revenue stream and allocating direct costs to that respective segment. The Corporate segment is aggregated by relying on the entity that includes corporate costs (Draganfly Inc.). The Vital segment derived its revenue from the sale of products that measure vitals to help detect symptoms from large groups of people from a distance and will no longer be an operating segment going forward. The Vital product was developed to address COVID-19 during the pandemic which has since waned and as a result, is no longer a core focus of the Company.
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker.
The board of the Company relies on executive management which assesses the financial performance and position of the group and makes strategic decisions. Executive management, which has been identified as being the chief operating decision maker, consists of the chief executive officer, chief operating officer and chief financial officer.

| 17. | FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT |
|---|
The Company is exposed in varying degrees to a variety of financial instrument related risks. The Board of Directors approves and monitors the risk management processes, inclusive of documented investment policies, counterparty limits, and controlling and reporting structures. The type of risk exposure and the way in which such exposure is managed is provided as follows:
Creditrisk
Credit risk is the risk of an unexpected loss if a customer or third party fails to meet its contractual obligations.
The Company is subject to credit risk on its cash and receivables. The Company limits its exposure to credit loss on cash by placing its cash with a high-quality financial institution. The Company performs credit evaluations of its customers to reduce the credit risk of receivable balances.
Receivables
Receivables primarily consist of trade receivables, accrued receivables and taxes receivable. The Corporation’s exposure to credit risk is associated with trade receivables and the potential risk that any customer is unable to pay amounts due. Allowances for doubtful accounts and bad debts are estimated as at the balance sheet date. The amounts reported for trade receivables on the balance sheet are net of allowances for doubtful accounts and the net carrying value represents the Corporation’s maximum exposure to credit risk.
Management reviews past due trade receivables balances on a continuous basis to monitor potential credit risks. Accounts are considered for impairment on a case-by-case basis when they are past due or when objective evidence is received that a customer may default. A number of factors are considered in determining the likelihood of impairment. All bad debt write-offs and changes in the doubtful trade receivables reserve are expensed or credited, as applicable, to selling expenses in the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss.
Draganfly believes that credit risk associated with its trade receivables is limited for the following reasons:
| ● | Trade<br> receivables balances are spread amongst a broad customer base; |
|---|---|
| ● | The<br> aging profile of trade receivables balances is systematically monitored by management; and |
| ● | Payments<br> for larger orders are requested at least partially in advance of products being shipped |
The Company’s aging of receivables was as follows:
SCHEDULE
OF AGING OF RECEIVABLES
| December 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 – 30 days | $ | 264,885 | $ | 346,979 |
| 31 – 60 days | 271,836 | 150,575 | ||
| 61 – 90 days | 100,659 | 32,002 | ||
| 91 + days | 404,202 | 200,034 | ||
| Total<br> receivables | $ | 1,041,582 | $ | 729,590 |
Liquidityrisk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company has a planning and budgeting process in place to help determine the funds required to support the Company’s normal operating requirements on an ongoing basis. The Company ensures that there are sufficient funds to meet its short-term business requirements, taking into account its anticipated cash flows from operations and its holdings of cash and cash equivalents. Historically, the Company’s sole source of funding has been the issuance of equity securities for cash, primarily through private placements. The Company’s access to financing is always uncertain. There can be no assurance of continued access to significant equity funding.

Foreignexchange risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair values of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because they are denominated in currencies that differ from the respective functional currency. The Company does not hedge its exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates.
The following table summarizes the sensitivity of the fair value of the Company’s risk to foreign exchange rates, with all other variables held constant. Fluctuations of 10 percent in the foreign exchange rate between US dollars and Canadian dollars could have resulted in a change impacting net loss upon consolidation as follows:

Fairvalue
A number of the Company’s accounting policies and disclosures require the measurement of fair values for financial assets and liabilities. The Company has established a control framework with respect to the measurement of fair values. Fair values are categorized into different levels of a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows:
Level 1: quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: other techniques for which all inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value are observable, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3: techniques which use inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value that are not based on observable market data.

Non-GAAPMeasures and Additional GAAP Measures
In this MD&A we describe certain income and expense items that are unusual or non-recurring. There are terms not defined by International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Our usage of these terms may vary from the usage adopted by other companies. Specifically, Grossprofit, Gross margin and Cash flow from operations are undefined terms by IFRS that may be referenced herein. We provide this detail so that readers have a better understanding of the significant events and transactions that have had an impact on our results.
Throughout this document, reference is made to “gross profit,” “gross margin,” and “working capital”, which are non-IFRS measures. Management believes that gross profit, defined as revenue less operating expenses, is a useful supplemental measure of operations. Gross profit helps provide an understanding on the level of costs needed to create revenue. Gross margin illustrates the gross profit as a percentage of revenue. Management believes that working capital, defined as current assets less current liabilities, is an indicator of the Corporation’s liquidity and its ability to meet its current obligations. Readers are cautioned that these non-IFRS measures may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies. Readers are also cautioned not to view these non-IFRS financial measures as an alternative to financial measures calculated in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”).

2025Highlights
| ● | 2025 Total Revenues of $7,731,163 with Product Sales of $6,869,815 |
|---|
2025 revenues increased by $1,170,108 to $7,731,163 from $6,561,055 in 2024 with the bulk of this increase coming from provision of goods. Service revenue decreased by $331,231 from $1,192,579 in 2024 to $861,348 in 2025.
| ● | Gross Profit was $1,321,336 with a Gross Margin decrease of 4.2% in 2025 compared to 2024. |
|---|
In 2025, the Company’s total gross margin was 17.1% compared to 21.3% in 2024. Gross margin excluding the non-cash write down of inventory of $259,091 (2024 - $627,105) would have been 20.4% (2024 – 30.9%).
| ● | Continued Diversification of its Product and Services Offering |
|---|
Given the Company’s deep engineering talent, the Company continues to expand its product and services available to its customers. Doing this leverages the Company’s core skill set of innovation that tends to lead to future projects, bringing in more consistent revenue. The Company continues to increase its scope of products and service to include the sale of third-party manufactured UAVs and drone-as-a-service type work. Having a larger breadth of products and services, in part, mitigates some risk for the Company given its offering covers a broader market.
| ● | Functional Reorganization |
|---|
The Company has undertaken an effort to reorganize its functions into departments such as Finance, Sales and Marketing, Operations, Human Resources, etc. with the key goal of obtaining efficiencies by streamlining processes and procedures at a corporate shared service level as opposed to segmenting departments at the subsidiary level.
| ● | Risks Related to Operations |
|---|
The Company’s UAVs are sold in rapidly evolving markets. The commercial UAV market is in early stages of customer adoption. Accordingly, the Company’s business and prospects may be difficult to evaluate. The Company cannot accurately predict the extent to which demand for its products and services will increase, if at all. The challenges, risks and uncertainties frequently encountered by companies in rapidly evolving markets could impact the Company’s ability to do the following:
| ● | generate<br> sufficient revenue to maintain profitability; |
|---|---|
| ● | acquire<br> and maintain market share; |
| ● | achieve<br> or manage growth in operations; |
| ● | develop<br> and renew contracts; |
| ● | attract<br> and retain additional engineers and other highly qualified personnel; |
| ● | successfully<br> develop and commercially market new products; |
| ● | adapt<br> to new or changing policies and spending priorities of governments and government agencies;<br> and |
| ● | access<br> additional capital when required and on reasonable terms. |

Outlookand Guidance
General
The Company believes that drone regulations are gradually evolving in favor of additional use cases, which could lead to more revenue opportunities from a greater pool of customers. The Company is positioned properly to take advantage of this dynamic given its legacy and ongoing innovative product development coupled with being publicly traded providing greater market awareness than its private competitors. The Company will increasingly focus on some of its growth initiatives beyond Canada and into the United States and abroad. All else being equal, accessing more capital will help the Company expand and diversify its engineering and drone services businesses. The Company has already built the infrastructure including human resources from an oversight, sales and engineering perspective. Further, the Company will continue to focus on innovation, product development, and expanding its hardware offerings opportunistically into niche segments of the UAV and related sectors. Finally, the Company has considered providing various other non-engineering services and it may make more sense to buy an existing industry player than to build out this offering. The Company expects to be active in this regard reviewing partnerships and acquisitions in the current fiscal year and the near future.

Summaryof Quarterly Results
The following selected quarterly financial data has been extracted from the financial statements, prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards.
Total revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2025, increased by $299,037 or 18.5% as compared to the same period in 2024. The increase was due to higher product sales.
SG&A expenses increased 100.7% compared to the same period in 2024 due to higher office and miscellaneous and travel. The other income (expense) and comprehensive loss for the fourth quarter of 2025 includes non-cash changes comprised of a fair value derivative liability loss of $788,180, and would otherwise be an other income of $1,041,647 and comprehensive loss of $8,583,240, respectively.
Total revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2025, decreased by $243,794 or 11.3% as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2025. The primary decrease in revenue is due to the decrease in service sales. Product sales increased by $181,846 or 11.2% in the fourth quarter of 2025 as compared to the third quarter of 2025 due to business development efforts and Q4 promotions. Service revenue decreased by $425,640 or 79.8% in the fourth quarter or 2025 as compared to the third quarter of 2025 primarily due to seasonality of the wildfire season.
SG&A expenses increased by $2,514,069 or 49.0% compared to the third quarter of 2025 due to increase in office and miscellaneous, travel and professional fees partially offset by a decrease in share-based compensation.

Liquidityand Capital Resources

The Company does not have any contracted or committed capital expenditures as of the date of this MD&A.

We expect, from time to time, to evaluate the acquisition of businesses, intellectual property, products and technologies for which a portion of the net proceeds from financings may be used. There is always the potential that any acquisition or investment in a company or product has a negative impact on future cash flows of the Company.
Our plan of operations for the next year includes the following: (i) ensure production capacity is adequate to meet demand for products; (ii) continuing to hone existing product offerings; (iii) streamline workflow efficiencies; (iv) diversifying and expanding business lines organically and by potential acquisitions; (v) continuing to patent innovative ideas for new products; and (vi) developing and increasing current product offering to various niche industries that are not currently being served.
As of the date of the MD&A, we cannot predict with certainty all of the particular uses for the net proceeds received from the closing of past financings. The amounts and timing of our actual expenditures may very significantly depending on numerous factors.

Warrants
During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company issued pre-funded warrants (“USD pre-funded Warrants”) where a portion of the funds related to the eventual exercise have already been received with the remaining exercise price in USD. As part of these same issuances, shares with warrants attached were issued. Being in a foreign currency that is not the Company’s functional currency and these pre-funded warrants were not issued in exchange for services, the value related to the future exercise price of the USD pre-funded Warrants are required to be recorded as a financial liability and not as equity. As a financial liability, the portion of the USD pre-funded Warrants related to the future exercise price will be revalued on a quarterly basis to fair market value with the change in fair value being recorded in profit or loss. The warrants issued with the shares are also in USD so are also accounted for as a liability. In addition, the Company also issued pre-funded warrants with an exercise price in Canadian dollars (“Pre-funded Warrants”). These are also treated as a liability as the agreement contains clauses that do not meet the fixed for fixed test. As a financial liability, the portion of the Pre-funded Warrants related to the future exercise price will be revalued on a quarterly basis to fair market value with the change in fair value being recorded in profit or loss. The warrants issued with the shares are also accounted for as a liability as these also contain clauses that do not meet the fixed for fixed test.

On August 7, 2024, the exercise price of the April 29, 2024 warrants were amended to CAD $0.2250 or CAD $5.625 on a post share consolidation basis. The exercise price of the October Warrants was reduced twice and converted to Canadian dollars for a new exercise price of CAD $5.6925. For the October 2023 issuance and the April 2024 issuance, the warrant agreements were further amended as of August 7, 2024 to remove the cashless exercise feature and any anti-dilution clauses that would lead to variability in settlement so they now meet the requirement for equity classification. The warrants were fair valued on August 7, 2024 and transferred to equity.
On November 19, 2024 the exercise prices of the April 2024 warrants and the October 2023 warrants were amended to CAD$3.3086 from CAD$5.625 and CAD$5.6925 respectively.
The warrants issued as part of the August 2024 issuance and the November 2024 issuance were issued with a CAD exercise price, no cashless exercise feature and no anti-dilution clauses that would lead to variability in settlement.
To reach a fair value of the warrants, a Black Scholes calculation is used, calculated in USD for those with a USD exercise price and in CAD for those with a Canadian exercise price. The Black Scholes value per warrant is then multiplied by the number of outstanding warrants and then multiplied by the foreign exchange rate at the end of the period for those denominated in USD.

CriticalAccounting Policies and Estimates
Adoptionof new policy
January 1, 2024, the Company adopted a residual value method with respect to the measurement of shares and warrants issued as private placement units for equity treatment warrants, whereby the carrying amount of the warrants is determined based on any difference between gross proceeds and the estimated fair market value of the common shares. If the proceeds from the offering are less than or equal to the estimated fair market value of common shares issued, no value is assigned to the warrants. Warrants that are issued as payment to a finder or other transaction costs are accounted for as share-based payments.

Reclassification
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the fiscal 2025 presentation. Overall results were not impacted by the reclassification of items within the Operating Expenses of the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss. For the year ended December 31, 2025 the reclassified amounts were as follows:
| December 31, 2024 | |||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Before | Adjustment | After | |||||
| Professional fees | $ | 3,016,594 | $ | (1,581,182 | ) | $ | 1,435,412 |
| Office and miscellaneous | $ | 1,853,578 | $ | 434,306 | $ | 2,287,884 | |
| Employee and management expenses | $ | 6,733,304 | $ | 1,146,876 | $ | 7,880,180 |
Foreigncurrency translation
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at rates of exchange at the time of such transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the reporting period rate of exchange. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at historical exchange rates. Gains and losses resulting from foreign exchange adjustments are included in profit or loss.
The functional currencies of the parent company and each subsidiary are as follows:
| Draganfly Inc. | Canadian Dollar |
|---|---|
| Draganfly Innovations Inc. | Canadian Dollar |
| Draganfly Innovations USA, Inc. | US Dollar |
| Dronelogics Systems Inc. | Canadian Dollar |
Financial statements of subsidiaries for which the functional currency is not the Canadian dollar are translated into Canadian dollars as follows: all asset and liability accounts are translated at the year-end exchange rate and all revenue and expense accounts and cash flow statement items are translated at average exchange rates for the year. The resulting translation gains and losses are recorded as exchange differences on translation of foreign operations in other comprehensive loss.
Share-basedpayments
The Company may grant stock options or restricted share units (“RSU’s”) to its directors, officers, employees and consultants. The Company records share-based compensation related to stock options using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model.
The RSU’s granted entitle an employee, director or officer to either the issuance of common shares or cash payments payable upon vesting with terms determined by the Company’s Board of Directors at the time of the grant. If on the grant date it is determined there is an obligation to settle in cash, the RSU’s are accounted for as liabilities, with the fair value remeasured at the end of each reporting period and on the settlement date. Changes in fair value are recognized in profit and loss. Expense is recognized over the vesting period.
The Company has a present obligation to settle in cash if the choice of settlement in shares has no commercial substance, or the Company has a past practice or a stated policy of setting in cash, or generally settles in cash whenever the counterparty asks for cash settlement. If no such obligation exists, RSUs are accounted for as equity settled share-based payments and are valued using the share price on grant date. Upon settlement:
| a) | If<br> the Company elects to settle in cash, the cash payment is accounted for as the repurchase<br> of an equity interest (i.e. as a deduction from equity), except as noted in (c) below. |
|---|---|
| b) | If<br> the Company elects to settle by issuing shares, the value of RSUs initially recognized in<br> reserves is reclassified to share capital, except as noted in (c) below. |
| c) | If<br> the Company elects the settlement alternative with the higher fair value, as at the date<br> of settlement, the Company recognizes an additional expense for the excess value given (i.e.<br> the difference between the cash paid and the fair value of shares that would otherwise have<br> been issued, or the difference between the fair value of the shares and the amount of cash<br> that would otherwise have been paid, whichever is applicable). |

The aggregate sales price or amount of common shares issued during any consecutive 12-month period will not exceed the greatest of the following: (i) USD $1,000,000; (ii) 15% of the total assets of the Company, measured at the Company’s most recent balance sheet date; or (iii) 15% of the outstanding amount of the common shares of the Company, measured at the Company’s most recent balance sheet date. At the election of the Board of Directors, upon each vesting date, participants receive (a) the issuance of common shares from treasury equal to the number of RSUs vesting, or (b) a cash payment equal to the number of vested RSUs multiplied by the fair market value of a common share, calculated as the closing price of the common shares on the CSE for the trading day immediately preceding such payment date; or (c) a combination of (a) and (b).
In conjunction with private placements or brokered financings, the Company may issue compensatory warrants to agents as consideration for services provided. Awards of grants are accounted for in accordance with the fair value method of accounting and result in an increase in share issue costs and a credit to warrants within shareholders’ equity when warrants are issued.
Lossper share
Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding in the year.
Diluted income per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to common shareholders of the parent by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year plus the weighted average number of common shares that would be issued on the conversion of all the dilutive potential common shares into common shares. The Company had 4,592,443 warrants, 23,858 options and 413,151 RSU’s that would be potentially dilutive if the Company were not in a loss position and were to calculate diluted income per share.
FinancialInstruments
Financial instruments are accounted for in accordance with IFRS 9 Financial Instruments: Classification and Measurement. A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.
| Financial assets/liabilities | Classification |
|---|---|
| Cash and cash equivalents | Fair value through profit or loss |
| Receivables | Amortized cost |
| Notes receivable | Fair value through profit or loss |
| Investments | Fair value through other comprehensive income |
| Trade payables | Amortized cost |
| Customer deposits | Amortized cost |
| Derivative liability | Fair value through profit or loss |
| a) | Financial assets |
|---|
Classificationand measurement
The Company classifies its financial assets in the following categories: at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”), at fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVTOCI”) or at amortized cost. The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial assets were acquired. Management determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition.
| 23 |
| --- |
| **Draganfly Inc. Management Discussion and Analysis For the year ended December 31, 2025** |
| --- |
The classification of debt instruments is driven by the business model for managing the financial assets and their contractual cash flow characteristics. Debt instruments are measured at amortized cost if the business model is to hold the instrument for collection of contractual cash flows and those cash flows are solely principal and interest. If the cash flows are not solely principal and interest, it is classified as FVTPL. Financial assets with embedded derivatives are considered in their entirety when determining whether their cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest.
Equity instruments that are held for trading (including all equity derivative instruments) are classified as FVTPL, for other equity instruments, on the day of acquisition the Company can make an irrevocable election (on an instrument by-instrument
basis) to designate them as at FVTOCI.
Financialassets at FVTPL
Financial assets carried at FVTPL are initially recorded at fair value and transaction costs are recorded to profit or loss. Realized and unrealized gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of financial assets held at FVTPL are included in the profit or loss in the period in which they arise. Derivatives are also categorized as FVTPL unless they are designated as hedges.
Financialassets at FVTOCI
Financial assets carried at FVTOCI are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs. Subsequently they are measured at fair value, with gains and losses arising from changes in fair value recognized in other comprehensive income. There is no subsequent reclassification of fair value gains and losses to profit or loss following the derecognition of the investment.
Financialassets at amortized cost
Financial assets at amortized cost are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently carried at amortized cost less any impairment. They are classified as current assets or non-current assets based on their maturity date.
Impairmentof financial assets at amortized cost
The Company recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets that are measured at amortized cost. At each reporting date, the loss allowance for the financial asset is measured at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses if the credit risk on the financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition. If at the reporting date, the financial asset has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the loss allowance is measured for the financial asset at an amount equal to twelve month expected credit losses. For trade receivables the Company applies the simplified approach to providing for expected credit losses, which allows the use of a lifetime expected loss provision.
Impairment losses on financial assets carried at amortized cost are reversed in subsequent periods if the amount of the loss decreases and the decrease can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized.
Derecognitionof financial assets
Financial assets are derecognized when the risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred. Gains and losses on derecognition of financial assets classified as FVTPL or amortized cost are recorded to profit or loss. Gains or losses on financial assets classified as FVTOCI remain within accumulated other comprehensive loss.
| b) | Financial liabilities |
|---|
The Company classifies its financial liabilities into one of two categories as follows:
FVTPL
- This category comprises derivatives and financial liabilities incurred principally for the purpose of selling or repurchasing in the near term. They are carried at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in profit or loss.
Other financial liabilities - This category consists of liabilities carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Trade payables and customer deposits are included in this category.
| 24 |

| **Draganfly Inc. Management Discussion and Analysis For the year ended December 31, 2025** |
| --- |
Derecognitionof financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognized when its contractual obligations are discharged, cancelled, or expire. The Company also derecognizes a financial liability when the terms of the liability are modified such that the terms and/or cash flows of the modified instrument are substantially different, in which case a new financial liability based on the modified terms is recognized at fair value. Gains and losses on derecognition are recognized in profit or loss.
Impairmentof non-financial assets
The carrying amounts of the non-financial assets are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If indicators exist, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. The recoverable amounts of the following types of intangible assets are measured annually, whether or not there is any indication that it may be impaired:
| ● | an<br> intangible asset with an indefinite useful life; and |
|---|---|
| ● | an<br> intangible asset not yet available for use; |
The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit (“CGU”) is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.
If there is an indication that a corporate asset may be impaired, then the recoverable amount is determined for the CGU to which the corporate asset belongs.
An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset or its CGU exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognized in profit or loss. Impairment losses recognized in respect of CGUs are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the CGU, and then to reduce the carrying amounts of the other assets in the CGU on a pro rata basis.
In respect of assets other than goodwill and intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives, impairment losses recognized in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed in a subsequent period when there has been an increase in the recoverable amount of a previously impaired asset or CGU. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, if no impairment loss had been recognized.
Incometaxes
Currentincome tax
Current income tax assets and liabilities for the current period are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted, at the reporting date, in the countries where the Company operates and generates taxable income.
Current income taxes relating to items recognized directly in other comprehensive income or equity is recognized in other comprehensive income or equity and not in profit or loss. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate.

| **Draganfly Inc. Management Discussion and Analysis For the year ended December 31, 2025** |
| --- |
Deferredincome tax
Deferred income tax is recognized, using the asset and liability method, on temporary differences at the reporting date arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting. The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and recognized only to the extent that it is probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilized. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. Deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities are offset, if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current income tax liabilities and the deferred income taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.
Inventory
Inventory consists of raw materials and finished goods for manufacturing of multi-rotor helicopters, industrial areal video systems, civilian small unmanned aerial systems or vehicles, health monitoring equipment, and wireless video systems. Inventory is initially valued at cost and subsequently at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined using the first-in-first-out method. The cost of inventories comprises all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. The costs of purchase include the purchase price, import duties and non-recoverable taxes and transport, handling and other costs directly attributable to the acquisition of finished goods, materials or services. The costs of conversion include direct materials and labour costs and a systematic allocation of fixed and variable overheads incurred in converting materials into finished goods. The Company reviews inventory for obsolete and slow-moving goods and any such inventory is written-down to net realizable value.
Revenuerecognition
Revenue comprises the fair value of consideration received or receivable for the sale of goods and consulting services in the ordinary course of the Company’s business. Revenue is shown net of return allowances and discounts.
Salesof goods
The Company manufactures and sells a range of multi-rotor helicopters, industrial aerial video systems, and civilian small unmanned aerial systems or vehicles. Sales are recognized at a point-in-time when control of the products has transferred. The control transfer occurs in proximity to shipping. Revenue is recognized when the transfer of control has occurred. Revenue from these sales is recognized based on the price specified in the contract, net of the estimated discounts and returns. Accumulated experience is used to estimate and provide for the discounts and returns, using the expected value method, and revenue is only recognized to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal will not occur. To date, returns have not been significant. No element of financing is deemed present as the sales are made with a credit term of 30 to 60 days, which is consistent with market practice.
Some contracts include multiple performance obligations, such as the sale of hardware and support or maintenance. Where support or maintenance is performed by another party and does not include an integration service it is accounted for as a separate performance obligation. In this case, the transaction price will be allocated to each performance obligation based on stand-alone selling price. Where the stand-alone selling price is not directly observable, the price is estimated based on expect cost plus margin. Where the support or maintenance is provided by the Company, the contract is analyzed to identify the performance obligations and transaction price. The price is then allocated across the obligations identified in the contract. Revenue is recognized when the Company satisfies a performance obligation.
Services
The Company provides consulting, custom engineering, drones as a service, and investigating and solving on a project-by-project basis under fixed-price and variable price contracts. Revenue from providing services is recognized over time as the services are rendered.
The Company provides rental of equipment which is measured based on rates through contracts or other written agreements with customers. Revenue is recognized in the period when services are performed and only when there is reasonable assurance that the revenue will be collected.

| **Draganfly Inc. Management Discussion and Analysis For the year ended December 31, 2025** |
| --- |
DeferredIncome
A payment received is included as deferred revenue when products have yet be shipped to the customers as of the period end or there are unfulfilled obligations related to the revenue received. The amount to be recognized within twelve months following the year-end date is classified as current.
Costof Goods Sold
Cost of sales includes the expenses incurred to acquire and produce inventory for sale, including product costs, freight costs, as well as provisions for reserves related to product shrinkage, or lower of cost and net realizable value adjustments as required.
IntangibleAssets
An intangible asset is an identifiable asset without physical substance. An asset is identifiable if it is separable, or arises from contractual or legal rights, regardless of whether those rights are transferrable or separable from the Company or from other rights and obligations. Intangible assets include intellectual property, which consists of patent and trademark applications, brands and software.
Intangible assets acquired externally are measured at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses. The cost of a group of intangible assets acquired is allocated to the individual intangible assets based on their relative fair values. The cost of intangible assets acquired externally comprises its purchase price and any directly attributable cost of preparing the asset for its intended use. Research and development costs incurred subsequent to the acquisition of externally acquired intangible assets and on internally generated intangible assets are accounted for as research and development costs.
Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over the expected life of each intellectual property to write off the cost of the assets from the date they are available for use.
| Class of intangible asset | Useful live |
|---|---|
| Customer relationships | 5 years |
| Software | 5 years |
| Patents | 5 years |
Goodwill represents the excess of the value of the consideration transferred over the fair value of the net identifiable assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination. Goodwill is allocated to the cash generating unit to which it relates.
Equipment
On January 1, 2024, there was change in estimate related to the useful lives of computer equipment and furniture and equipment with the depreciation changing from 30% declining balance to 3 year straight line for computer equipment and from 20% declining balance to 5 year straight line for furniture and equipment. The impact of this change in estimate in 2024 resulted in an increase in depreciation of $54, 220. It is not practical to quantify the impact on future years, but the change in estimate will result in the assets currently on the books related to this change in estimate depreciating faster over a shorter time frame.
Equipment is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognized. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss.
Depreciation is generally calculated on a straight-line balance method with the exception of vehicles that are on a declining balance method to write off the cost of the assets to their residual values over their estimated useful lives. Depreciation for leasehold improvements is fully expensed over the expected term of the lease. The depreciation rates applicable to each category of equipment are as follows:
| Class of equipment | Depreciation rate |
|---|---|
| Computer<br> equipment | 3<br> years – straight line |
| Furniture<br> and equipment | 5<br> years – straight line |
| Leasehold<br> improvements | Expected<br> lease term |
| Vehicles | 30%<br> - declining balance |
Researchand development expenditures
Expenditures on research are expensed as incurred. Research activities include formulation, design, evaluation and final selection of possible alternatives, products, processes, systems or services. Development expenditures are expensed as incurred unless the Company can demonstrate all of the following:
| (i) | the<br> technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for<br> use or sale; |
|---|---|
| (ii) | its<br> intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it; |
| (iii) | its<br> ability to use or sell the intangible asset; |
| (iv) | how<br> the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits. The Company can also<br> demonstrate the existence of a market for the output of the intangible asset or the intangible<br> asset itself or, if it is to be used internally, the usefulness of the intangible asset; |
| (v) | the<br> availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development<br> and to use or sell the intangible asset; and |
| (vi) | its<br> ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its<br> development. |
Leases
A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. At the commencement date, the lease liability is recognized at the present value of the future lease payments and discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. A corresponding right-of-use (“ROU”) asset is recognized at the amount of the lease liability, adjusted for any lease incentives received and initial direct costs incurred. Over the term of the lease, financing expense is recognized on the lease liability using the effective interest rate method and charged to net income, lease payments are applied against the lease liability and depreciation on the ROU asset is recorded by class of underlying asset.
The lease term is the non-cancellable period of a lease plus periods covered by an optional lease extension option if it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise the option to extend. Conversely, periods covered by an option to terminate are included if the Company does not expect to end the lease during that time frame. Leases with a term of less than twelve months or leases for underlying low value assets are recognized as an expense in net income on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

| **Draganfly Inc. Management Discussion and Analysis For the year ended December 31, 2025** |
| --- |
A lease modification is accounted for as a separate lease if it materially changes the scope of the lease. For a modification that is not a separate lease, on the effective date of the lease modification, the Company will remeasure the lease liability and corresponding ROU asset using the interest rate implicit in the lease or the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. Any variance between the remeasured ROU asset and lease liability will be recognized as a gain or loss in net income to reflect the change in scope.
Newlyadopted accounting standards
On January 1, 2024 the Company adopted amendments to IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements, issued by IASB. The amendment is to clarify the classification of a liability as either current or non-current based on the Company’s right at the end of the reporting period. There is no material impact on the disclosures or amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements.
Newaccounting standards issued not yet effective
In April 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18, Presentation and Disclosures in Financial Statements, to replace IAS 1, Presentation ofFinancial Statements, effective January 1, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The new standard is aimed to set out overall requirements for presentation and disclosures in the financial statements. Management is reviewing the impact the standard will have on the consolidated financial statements.
In May 2024, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 9, Financial Instruments, and IFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures to address the classification and measurement of financial instruments, with an emphasis to clarify the date of recognition and derecognition of financial asset and liabilities, effective January 1, 2026, with early adoption permitted. Management is reviewing the impact of these amendments, but they are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Significantestimates and assumptions
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions about reported amounts at the date of the consolidated financial statements and in the future. The Company’s management reviews these estimates and underlying assumptions on an ongoing basis, based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Revisions to estimates are adjusted for prospectively in the period in which the estimates are revised.
BUSINESSRISKS
The Company does engage in significant transactions and activities in currencies other than its functional currency. Depending on the timing of the transactions and the applicable currency exchange rates such conversions may positively or negatively impact the Company.
An investment in the Company’s Common Shares is highly speculative and involves significant risks. In addition to the other informationcontained in this MD&A and the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein, you should review and carefully considerthe risks described herein. The risks described herein are not the only risk factors facing us and should not be considered exhaustive. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us, or that we currently consider immaterial, may also materially and adversely affect our business, operations and condition, financial or otherwise.

RisksRelated to the Company, its Business and Industry
TheCompany has a history of losses.
The Company has incurred net losses since its inception. The Company cannot assure that it can become profitable or avoid net losses in the future or that there will be any earnings or revenues in any future quarterly or other periods. The Company expects that its operating expenses will increase as it grows its business, including expending substantial resources for research, development and marketing. As a result, any decrease or delay in generating revenues could result in material operating losses.
Ashareholder’s holding in the Company may be diluted if the Company issues additional Common Shares or other securities inthe future.
The Company may issue additional Common Shares or other securities in the future, which may dilute a shareholder’s holding in the Company. The Company’s articles permit the issuance of an unlimited number of Common Shares, and shareholders have no pre-emptive rights in connection with further issuances of any securities. The directors of the Company have the discretion to determine if an issuance of Common Shares or other securities is warranted, the price at which any such securities are issued and the other terms of issue of Common Shares or securities. In addition, the Company may issue additional Common Shares upon the exercise of incentive stock options to acquire Common Shares under its share compensation plan or upon the exercise or conversion of other outstanding convertible securities of the Company, which will result in further dilution to shareholders. In addition, the issuance of Common Shares or other securities in any potential future acquisitions, if any, may also result in further dilution to shareholder interests.
TheCompany expects to incur substantial research and development costs and devote significant resources to identifying and commercializingnew products and services, which could significantly reduce its profitability and may never result in revenue to the Company.
The Company’s future growth depends on penetrating new markets, adapting existing products to new applications, and introducing new products and services that achieve market acceptance. The Company plans to incur substantial research and development costs as part of its efforts to design, develop and commercialize new products and services and enhance its existing products. The Company believes that there are significant opportunities in a number of business areas. Because the Company accounts for research and development costs as operating expenses, these expenditures will adversely affect its earnings in the future. Further, the Company’s research and development programs may not produce successful results, and its new products and services may not achieve market acceptance, create any additional revenue or become profitable, which could materially harm the Company’s business, prospects, financial results and liquidity.
Shortfallsin available external research and development funding could adversely affect the Company.
The Company depends on its research and development activities to develop the core technologies used in its UAV products and for the development of the Company’s future products. A portion of the Company’s research and development activities can depend on funding by commercial companies and the Canadian government. Canadian government and commercial spending levels can be impacted by a number of variables, including general economic conditions, specific companies’ financial performance and competition for Canadian government funding with other Canadian government-sponsored programs in the budget formulation and appropriation processes. Moreover, the Canadian, federal and provincial governments provide energy rebates and incentives to commercial companies, which directly impact the amount of research and development that companies appropriate for energy systems. To the extent that these energy rebates and incentives are reduced or eliminated, company funding for research and development could be reduced. Any reductions in available research and development funding could harm the Company’s business, financial condition and operating results.

TheCompany’s adoption of new business models could fail to produce any financial returns.
Forecasting the Company’s revenues and profitability for new business models is inherently uncertain and volatile. The Company’s actual revenues and profits for its business models may be significantly less than the Company’s forecasts. Additionally, the new business models could fail for one or more of the Company’s products and/or services, resulting in the loss of Company’s investment in the development and infrastructure needed to support the new business models, and the opportunity cost of diverting management and financial resources away from more successful businesses.
TheCompany will be affected by operational risks and may not be adequately insured for certain risks.
The Company will be affected by a number of operational risks and the Company may not be adequately insured for certain risks, including: labour disputes; catastrophic accidents; fires; blockades or other acts of social activism; changes in the regulatory environment; impact of non-compliance with laws and regulations; natural phenomena, such as inclement weather conditions, floods, earthquakes and ground movements. There is no assurance that the foregoing risks and hazards will not result in damage to, or destruction of, the Company’s technologies, personal injury or death, environmental damage, adverse impacts on the Company’s operation, costs, monetary losses, potential legal liability and adverse governmental action, any of which could have an adverse impact on the Company’s future cash flows, earnings and financial condition. Also, the Company may be subject to or affected by liability or sustain loss for certain risks and hazards against which the Company cannot insure or which the Company may elect not to insure because of the cost. This lack of insurance coverage could have an adverse impact on the Company’s future cash flows, earnings, results of operations and financial condition.
TheCompany operates in evolving markets, which makes it difficult to evaluate the Company’s business and future prospects.
The Company’s unmanned aerial vehicles (“UAVs”) are sold in rapidly evolving markets. The commercial UAV market is in early stages of customer adoption. Accordingly, the Company’s business and future prospects may be difficult to evaluate. The Company cannot accurately predict the extent to which demand for its products and services will increase, if at all. The challenges, risks and uncertainties frequently encountered by companies in rapidly evolving markets could impact the Company’s ability to do the following:
| ● | generate<br> sufficient revenue to reach and maintain profitability; |
|---|---|
| ● | acquire<br> and maintain market share; |
| ● | achieve<br> or manage growth in operations; |
| ● | develop<br> and renew contracts; |
| ● | attract<br> and retain additional engineers and other highly-qualified personnel; |
| ● | successfully<br> develop and commercially market new products; |
| ● | adapt<br> to new or changing policies and spending priorities of governments and government agencies; and |
| ● | access<br> additional capital when required and on reasonable terms. |
If the Company fails to address these and other challenges, risks and uncertainties successfully, its business, results of operations and financial condition would be materially harmed.
TheCompany operates in a competitive market.
The Company faces competition and new competitors will continue to emerge throughout the world. Services offered by the Company’s competitors may take a larger share of consumer spending than anticipated, which could cause revenue generated from the Company’s products and services to fall below expectations. It is expected that competition in these markets will intensify.

If competitors of the Company develop and market more successful products or services, offer competitive products or services at lower price points, or if the Company does not produce consistently high-quality and well-received products and services, revenues, margins, and profitability of the Company will decline.
The Company’s ability to compete effectively will depend on, among other things, the Company’s pricing of services and equipment, quality of customer service, development of new and enhanced products and services in response to customer demands and changing technology, reach and quality of sales and distribution channels and capital resources. Competition could lead to a reduction in the rate at which the Company adds new customers, a decrease in the size of the Company’s market share and a decline in its customers. Examples include but are not limited to competition from other companies in the UAV industry.
In addition, the Company could face increased competition should there be an award of additional licenses in jurisdictions in which the Company operates in.
Themarkets in which the Company competes are characterized by rapid technological change, which requires the Company to develop newproducts and product enhancements and could render the Company’s existing products obsolete.
Continuing technological changes in the market for the Company’s products could make its products less competitive or obsolete, either generally or for particular applications. The Company’s future success will depend upon its ability to develop and introduce a variety of new capabilities and enhancements to its existing product and service offerings, as well as introduce a variety of new product offerings, to address the changing needs of the markets in which it offers products. Delays in introducing new products and enhancements, the failure to choose correctly among technical alternatives or the failure to offer innovative products or enhancements at competitive prices may cause existing and potential customers to purchase the Company’s competitors’ products.
If the Company is unable to devote adequate resources to develop new products or cannot otherwise successfully develop new products or enhancements that meet customer requirements on a timely basis, its products could lose market share, its revenue and profits could decline, and the Company could experience operating losses.
Failureto obtain necessary regulatory approvals from Transport Canada or other governmental agencies, or limitations put on the use ofsmall UAV in response to public privacy concerns, may prevent the Company from expanding sales of its small UAV to non-militarycustomers in Canada.
Transport Canada is responsible for establishing, managing, and developing safety and security standards and regulations for civil aviation in Canada, and includes unmanned civil aviation (drones). Civil operations include law enforcement, scientific research, or use by private sector companies for commercial purposes. The Canadian Aviation Regulations (“CARs”) govern civil aviation safety and security in Canada, and by extension govern operation of drones in Canada to an acceptable level of safety.
While Transport Canada has been a leader in the development of regulations for the commercial use of remotely piloted aircraft systems (“RPAS”) and continues to move forward rapidly with its regulatory development, it has acknowledged the challenge of regulations keeping pace with the rapid development in technology and the growing demand for commercial RPAS use, particularly in the beyond visual line-of-sight environment. In 2012, the Canadian Aviation Regulation Advisory Council UAS working group released its Phase 2 report which outlined a proposed set of revision to the CARs to permit beyond visual line of sight operations. This report was the basis for the recently released Notice of Proposed Amendment (“NPA”) by Transport Canada on lower risk beyond visual line-of-sight.
Failure to obtain necessary regulatory approvals from Transport Canada or other governmental agencies, including the granting of certain Special Flight Operations Certificates (“SFOCs”), or limitations put on the use of RPAS in response to public safety concerns, may prevent the Company from testing or operating its aircraft and/or expanding its sales which could have an adverse impact on the Company’s business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition.

Thereare risks associated with the regulatory regime and permitting requirements of the Company’s business.
A significant portion of the Company’s business is based on the operation of RPAS. The operation of RPAS poses a risk or hazard to airspace users as well as personnel on the ground. As the RPAS industry is rapidly developing, the regulatory environment for RPAS is constantly evolving to keep pace. As such, whenever a policy change with respect to operating regulations occurs, there is a risk that the Company could find itself to be in non-compliance with these new regulations. While the Company endeavours to take all necessary action to reduce the risks associated with the operations of RPAS and to remain well-informed and up-to-date on any addendums and changes to the applicable regulations, there is no assurance that an incident involving an RPAS or the Company’s non-compliance would not create a significant current or future liability for the company.
The regulation of RPAS operations within the Canadian Domestic Airspace (“CDA”) is still evolving and is expected to continue to change with the proliferation of RPAS, advancements in technology, and standardization within the industry. Changes to the regulatory regime may be disruptive and result in the Company needing to adopt significant changes in its operations and policies, which may be costly and time-consuming, and may materially adversely affect the Company’s ability to manufacture and make delivery of its products and services in a timely fashion.
The Company’s business and research and development activities are subject to oversight by Transport Canada, the federal institution responsible for transportation policies and programs, including the rules in the CARs. Currently, Transport Canada requires that any non-recreational operators of RPAS have a SFOC. The Company’s ability to develop, test, demonstrate, and sell products and services depends on its ability to acquire and maintain a valid SFOC.
In addition, there exists public concern regarding the privacy implications of Canadian commercial and law enforcement use of small UAV. This concern has included calls to develop explicit written policies and procedures establishing UAV usage limitations. There is no assurance that the response from regulatory agencies, customers and privacy advocates to these concerns will not delay or restrict the adoption of small UAV by prospective non-military customers.
TheCompany may be subject to the risks associated with future acquisitions.
As part of the Company’s overall business strategy, the Company may pursue select strategic acquisitions that would provide additional product or service offerings, additional industry expertise, and a stronger industry presence in both existing and new jurisdictions. Any such future acquisitions, if completed, may expose the Company to additional potential risks, including risks associated with: (a) the integration of new operations, services and personnel; (b) unforeseen or hidden liabilities; (c) the diversion of resources from the Company’s existing business and technology; (d) potential inability to generate sufficient revenue to offset new costs; (e) the expenses of acquisitions; or (f) the potential loss of or harm to relationships with both employees and existing users resulting from its integration of new businesses. In addition, any proposed acquisitions may be subject to regulatory approval.
TheCompany’s inability to retain management and key employees could impair the future success of the Company.
The Company’s future success depends substantially on the continued services of its executive officers and its key development personnel. If one or more of its executive officers or key development personnel were unable or unwilling to continue in their present positions, the Company might not be able to replace them easily or at all. In addition, if any of its executive officers or key employees joins a competitor or forms a competing company, the Company may lose experience, know-how, key professionals and staff members as well as business partners. These executive officers and key employees could develop drone technologies that could compete with and take customers and market share away from the Company.

TheCompany faces uncertainty and adverse changes in the economy.
Adverse changes in the economy could negatively impact the Company’s business. Future economic distress may result in a decrease in demand for the Company’s products, which could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s operating results and financial condition. Uncertainty and adverse changes in the economy could also increase costs associated with developing and publishing products, increase the cost and decrease the availability of sources of financing, and increase the Company’s exposure to material losses from bad debts, any of which could have a material adverse impact on the financial condition and operating results of the Company.
TheCompany is subject to certain market-based financial risks associated with its operations.
The Company could be subject to interest rate risks, which is the risk that the value of a financial instrument might be adversely affected by a change in the interest rates. In seeking to minimize the risks from interest rate fluctuations, the Company manages exposure through its normal operating and financing activities, however market fluctuations could increase the costs at which the Company can access capital and its ability to obtain financing and the Company’s cash balances carry a floating rate of interest. In addition, the Company engages in transactions in currencies other than its functional currency. Depending on the timing of these transactions and the applicable currency exchange rates, conversions to the Company’s functional currency may positively or negatively impact the Company.
Negativemacroeconomics and geopolitical trends could affect market and economic conditions.
The global credit and financial markets have experienced extreme volatility and disruptions in the past several years, including severely diminished liquidity and credit availability, rising inflation and monetary supply shifts, rising interest rates, supply chain constraints, labor shortages, declines in consumer confidence, declines in economic growth, increases in unemployment rates, recession risks and uncertainty about economic stability. For instance, ongoing instability and current conflicts in global markets, including in Eastern Europe, the Middle East and Asia, and the potential for other conflicts and future terrorist activities, as well as other recent geopolitical events throughout the world, including new or increased tariffs and potential trade wars, have created and may continue to create economic and political uncertainties and impacts that could have a material adverse effect on our business, operations, and profitability. Sanctions imposed by the United States and other countries in response to military conflicts, including the one in Ukraine, may also adversely impact the financial markets and the global economy, and any economic countermeasures by the affected countries or others could exacerbate market and economic instability. If credit in financial markets outside of the United States tightened, it could adversely affect the ability of our international customers and suppliers to obtain financing and could result in a decrease in or cancellation of orders for our products, systems and services or impact the ability of our customers to make payments. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in widespread unemployment, economic slowdown and extreme volatility in the capital markets. However, notwithstanding our current and anticipated position, these types of matters can cause uncertainty in financial markets and may significantly increase the political, economic and social instability in geographic areas in which we operate now or may operate in the future. The extent of the impact of these conditions on our operational and financial performance, including our ability to execute our business strategies and initiatives in the expected timeframe, as well as that of third parties upon whom we rely, will depend on future developments which are uncertain and cannot be predicted. There can be no assurance that further deterioration in credit and financial markets and confidence in economic conditions will not occur. Events involving limited liquidity, defaults, non-performance or other adverse developments that affect financial institutions, or concerns or rumors about any events of these kinds or other similar risks, have in the past and may in the future lead to market-wide liquidity problems. Our general business strategy may be adversely affected by any such economic downturn, volatile business environment or continued unpredictable and unstable market conditions. If the current equity and credit markets deteriorate, it may make any necessary debt or equity financing more difficult, more costly and more dilutive. Failure to secure any necessary financing in a timely manner and on favorable terms could have a material adverse effect on our growth strategy, financial performance and stock price and could require us to delay or abandon clinical development plans. In addition, there is a risk that one or more of our current suppliers or other partners may not survive an economic downturn, which could directly affect our ability to attain our operating goals on schedule and on budget.

TheCompany may be subject to the risks associated with foreign operations in other countries.
The Company’s primary revenues are expected to be achieved in Canada and the US. However, the Company may expand to markets outside of North America and become subject to risks normally associated with conducting business in other countries. As a result of such expansion, the Company may be subject to the legal, political, social and regulatory requirements and economic conditions of foreign jurisdictions. The Company cannot predict government positions on such matters as foreign investment, intellectual property rights or taxation. A change in government positions on these issues could adversely affect the Company’s business.
If the Company expands its business to foreign markets, it will need to respond to rapid changes in market conditions, including differing legal, regulatory, economic, social and political conditions in these countries. If the Company is not able to develop and implement policies and strategies that are effective in each location in which it does business, then the Company’s business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.
Thereare tax risks the Company may be subject to in carrying on business in Canada.
The Company is a resident of Canada for purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the “Tax Act”). Since the Company is operating in a new and developing industry there is a risk that foreign governments may look to increase their tax revenues or levy additional taxes to level the playing field for perceived disadvantages to traditional brick and mortar businesses. There is no guarantee that governments will not impose such additional adverse taxes in the future.
Ifcritical components or raw materials used to manufacture the Company’s products become scarce or unavailable, then the Companymay incur delays in manufacturing and delivery of its products, which could damage its business.
The Company obtains hardware components, various subsystems and systems from a limited group of suppliers. The Company does not have long-term agreements with any of these suppliers that obligate it to continue to sell components, subsystems, systems or products to the Company. The Company’s reliance on these suppliers involves significant risks and uncertainties, including whether its suppliers will provide an adequate supply of required components, subsystems, or systems of sufficient quality, will increase prices for the components, subsystems or systems and will perform their obligations on a timely basis.
If the Company is unable to obtain components from third-party suppliers in the quantities and of the quality that it requires, on a timely basis and at acceptable prices, then it may not be able to deliver its products on a timely or cost-effective basis to its customers, or at all, which could cause customers to terminate their contracts with the Company, increase the Company’s costs and seriously harm its business, results of operations and financial condition. Moreover, if any of the Company’s suppliers become financially unstable, then it may have to find new suppliers. It may take several months to locate alternative suppliers, if required, or to redesign the Company’s products to accommodate components from different suppliers. The Company may experience significant delays in manufacturing and shipping its products to customers and incur additional development, manufacturing and other costs to establish alternative sources of supply if the Company loses any of these sources or is required to redesign its products. The Company cannot predict if it will be able to obtain replacement components within the time frames that it requires at an affordable cost, if at all.

Changesin U.S. trade policies or regulations
Recent policy decisions by the U.S. presidential administration have introduced greater uncertainty with respect to trade policies, tariffs and government regulations affecting trade between the U.S. and other countries. Major developments in trade relations, such as the potential renegotiation or termination of the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement, or the imposition of unilateral tariffs or other trade barriers on products imported into the U.S. as well as retaliatory tariffs or other trade barriers imposed by the U.S.’s trading partners, could impact the availability and cost of materials, resources and services, and the availability and cost of our products to U.S. customers, which in turn may affect our competitiveness and results of operations. The implementation of previously-announced, postponed, or new tariffs, or the escalation of trade disputes which interfere with our supply chain and our sales in affected markets, could have an adverse effect on our operations and profitability. In addition, rising protectionism and anti-globalization sentiment in the United States and other countries may adversely impact long-term economic growth in the countries in which we operate, which in turn may affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Naturaloutdoor elements such as wind and precipitation may have a material adverse effect on the use and effectiveness of the Company’sproducts.
The Company’s business will involve the operation and flying of UAVs, a technology-based product used outside. As such, the business is subject to various risks inherent in a technology-based businesses operated in outdoor conditions, including faulty parts, breakdowns and crashes. Although the Company anticipates the use of its UAVs in good climactic conditions and that adequate flying conditions will be monitored by trained personnel, there can be no assurance that unpredictable natural outdoor elements, which could be exacerbated due to risks associated with climate change, will not have a material adverse effect on the use and effectiveness of its products.
TheCompany’s products may be subject to recall or return.
Manufacturers and distributors of products are sometimes subject to the recall or return of their products for a variety of reasons, including product defects, safety concerns, packaging issues and inadequate or inaccurate labeling disclosure. If any of the Company’s equipment were to be recalled due to an alleged product defect, safety concern or for any other reason, the Company could be required to incur unexpected expenses of the recall and any legal proceedings that might arise in connection with the recall. The Company may lose a significant amount of sales and may not be able to replace those sales at an acceptable margin or at all. In addition, a product recall may require significant management time and attention. Additionally, product recalls may lead to increased scrutiny of the Company’s operations by Transport Canada or other regulatory agencies, requiring further management time and attention and potential legal fees, costs and other expenses.
Ifthe Company releases defective products or services, its operating results could suffer.
Products and services designed and released by the Company involve extremely complex software programs and are difficult to develop and distribute. While the Company has quality controls in place to detect and prevent defects in its products and services before they are released, these quality controls are subject to human error, overriding, and reasonable resource constraints. Therefore, these quality controls and preventative measures may not be effective in detecting and preventing defects in the Company’s products and services before they have been released into the marketplace. In such an event, the Company could be required, or decide voluntarily, to suspend the availability of the product or services, which could significantly harm its business and operating results.

TheCompany’s products and services are complex and could have unknown defects or errors, which may give rise to legal claimsagainst the Company, diminish its brand or divert its resources from other purposes.
The Company’s UAVs rely on complex avionics, sensors, user-friendly interfaces and tightly integrated, electromechanical designs to accomplish their missions. Despite testing, the Company’s products have contained defects and errors and may in the future contain defects, errors or performance problems when first introduced, when new versions or enhancements are released, or even after these products have been used by the Company’s customers for a period of time. These problems could result in expensive and time-consuming design modifications or warranty charges, delays in the introduction of new products or enhancements, significant increases in the Company’s service and maintenance costs, exposure to liability for damages, damaged customer relationships and harm to the Company’s reputation, any of which could materially harm the Company’s results of operations and ability to achieve market acceptance. In addition, increased development and warranty costs could be substantial and could significantly reduce the Company’s operating margins.
The existence of any defects, errors, or failures in the Company’s products or the misuse of the Company’s products could also lead to product returns, recalls, or liability claims or lawsuits against it. A defect, error or failure in one of the Company’s UAV could result in injury, death or property damage and significantly damage the Company’s reputation and support for its UAV in general. The Company anticipates this risk will grow as its UAV begins to be used in Canadian domestic airspace and urban areas. The Company’s UAV test systems also have the potential to cause injury, death or property damage in the event that they are misused, malfunction or fail to operate properly due to unknown defects or errors. Although the Company maintains insurance policies, it cannot provide any assurance that this insurance will be adequate to protect the Company from all material judgments and expenses related to potential future claims or that these levels of insurance will be available in the future at economical prices or at all. A successful product liability claim could result in substantial cost to us. Even if the Company is fully insured as it relates to a particular claim, the claim could nevertheless diminish the Company’s brand and divert management’s attention and resources, which could have a negative impact on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
TheCompany could be prohibited from shipping its products to certain countries if it is unable to obtain Canadian government authorizationregarding the export of its products, or if current or future export laws limit or otherwise restrict the Company’s business.
The Company must comply with Canadian federal and provincial laws regulating the export of its products. In some cases, explicit authorization from the Canadian government is needed to export its products. The export regulations and the governing policies applicable to the Company’s business are subject to change. The Company cannot provide assurance that such export authorizations will be available for its products in the future. Compliance with these laws has not significantly limited the Company’s operations or sales in the recent past, but could significantly limit them in the future. Non-compliance with applicable export regulations could potentially expose the Company to fines, penalties and sanctions. If the Company cannot obtain required government approvals under applicable regulations, the Company may not be able to sell its products in certain international jurisdictions, which could adversely affect the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

Negativeconsumer perception regarding the Company’s products could have a material adverse effect on the demand for the Company’sproducts and the business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows of the Company.
The Company believes the UAV industry is highly dependent upon consumer perception regarding the safety, efficacy, and quality of the UAV used. Consumer perception of these products can be significantly influenced by scientific research or findings, regulatory investigations, litigation, media attention, and other publicity regarding the use of UAV. There can be no assurance that future scientific research, findings, regulatory proceedings, litigation, media attention, or other research findings or publicity will be favourable to the UAV market. Future research reports, findings, regulatory proceedings, litigation, media attention or other publicity that are perceived as less favourable than, or that question, earlier research reports, findings or publicity could have a material adverse effect on the demand for the Company’s products and the business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows of the Company. The dependence upon consumer perceptions means that adverse scientific research reports, findings, regulatory proceedings, litigation, media attention or other publicity, whether or not accurate or with merit, could have a material adverse effect on the Company, the demand for the Company’s products, and the business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows of the Company. Further, adverse publicity reports or other media attention regarding the safety, the efficacy, and quality of UAV based surveys in general, or the Company’s products specifically, could have a material adverse effect.
Ifthe Company fails to successfully promote its product brand, this could have a material adverse effect on the Company’sbusiness, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.
The Company believes that brand recognition is an important factor to its success. If the Company fails to promote its brands successfully, or if the expenses of doing so are disproportionate to any increased net sales it achieves, it would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. This will depend largely on the Company’s ability to maintain trust, be a technology leader, and continue to provide high-quality and secure technologies, products and services. Any negative publicity about the Company or its industry, the quality and reliability of the Company’s technologies, products and services, the Company’s risk management processes, changes to the Company’s
technologies, products and services, its ability to effectively manage and resolve customer complaints, its privacy and security practices, litigation, regulatory activity, and the experience of sellers and buyers with the Company’s products or services, could adversely affect the Company’s reputation and the confidence in and use of the Company’s technologies, products and services. Harm to the Company’s brand can arise from many sources, including; failure by the Company or its partners to satisfy expectations of service and quality; inadequate protection of sensitive information; compliance failures and claims; litigation and other claims; employee misconduct; and misconduct by the Company’s partners, service providers, or other counterparties. If the Company does not successfully maintain a strong and trusted brand, its business could be materially and adversely affected.
TheCompany may be subject to electronic communication security risks.
A significant potential vulnerability of electronic communications is the security of transmission of confidential information over public networks. Cyberattacks could result in unauthorized access to the Company’s computer systems or its third-party IT service provider’s systems and, if successful, misappropriate personal or confidential information. Anyone who is able to circumvent the Company’s security measures could misappropriate proprietary information or cause interruptions in its operations. The Company may be required to expend capital and other resources to protect against such security breaches or to alleviate problems caused by such breaches.

The last few years have seen an increase in the volume and sophistication of targeted cyber-attacks. A failure of the Company’s IT infrastructure could severely limit the Company’s ability to conduct ordinary operations or expose the Company to liability. To date, the Company’s systems have functioned capably, and it has not experienced a material impact to its operations as a result of an IT infrastructure issue. Data security breaches suffered by well-known companies and institutions have attracted a substantial amount of media attention, prompting new foreign, federal, provincial and state laws and legislative proposals addressing data privacy and security. As a result, the Company may become subject to more extensive requirements to protect the customer information that it processes in connection with the purchase of its products, resulting in increased compliance costs.
While the Company has taken measures to protect against cyberattacks, even the most well-protected IT networks, systems and facilities remain potentially vulnerable because the techniques used in attempted security breaches are continually evolving and generally are not recognized until launched against a target or, in some cases, are designed not to be detected and, in fact, may not be detected. Any such compromise of the Company’s or its third party’s IT service providers’ data security and access, public disclosure, or loss of personal or confidential business information, could result in legal claims and proceedings, liability under laws to protect privacy of personal information, and regulatory penalties, and could disrupt the Company’s operations, require significant management attention and resources to remedy any damages that result, and damage its reputation and customers willingness to transact business with us, any of which could adversely affect our business.
TheCompany’s business could be adversely affected if its consumer protection and data privacy practices are not perceived asadequate or there are breaches of its security measures or unintended disclosures of its consumer data.
The rate of privacy law-making is accelerating globally and interpretation and application of consumer protection and data privacy laws in Canada, the United States, Europe and elsewhere are often uncertain, contradictory and in flux. As business practices are being challenged by regulators, private litigants, and consumer protection agencies around the world, it is possible that these laws may be interpreted and applied in a manner that is inconsistent with the Company’s data and/or consumer protection practices. If so, this could result in increased litigation government or court-imposed fines, judgments or orders requiring that the Company change its practices, which could have an adverse effect on its business and reputation. Complying with these various laws could cause the Company to incur substantial costs or require it to change its business practices in a manner adverse to its business.
TheCompany relies on its business partners, and they may be given access to sensitive and proprietary information in order to provideservices and support to the Company’s teams.
The Company relies on various business partners, including third-party service providers, vendors, licensing partners, development partners, and licensees, among others, in some areas of the Company’s business. In some cases, these third parties are given access to sensitive and proprietary information in order to provide services and support to the Company’s teams. These third parties may misappropriate the Company’s information and engage in unauthorized use of it. The failure of these third parties to provide adequate services and technologies, or the failure of the third parties to adequately maintain or update their services and technologies, could result in a disruption to the Company’s business operations. Further, disruptions in the financial markets and economic downturns may adversely affect the Company’s business partners and they may not be able to continue honoring their obligations to the Company. Alternative arrangements and services may not be available to the Company on commercially reasonable terms or the Company may experience business interruptions upon a transition to an alternative partner or vendor. If the Company loses one or more significant business partners, the Company’s business could be harmed.

Ifthe Company fails to protect, or incurs significant costs in defending, its intellectual property and other proprietary rights,the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations could be materially harmed.
The Company’s success depends, in large part, on its ability to protect its intellectual property and other proprietary rights. The Company relies primarily on patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets and unfair competition laws, as well as license agreements and other contractual provisions, to protect the Company’s intellectual property and other proprietary rights. However, a portion of the Company’s technology is not patented, and the Company may be unable or may not seek to obtain patent protection for this technology. Moreover, existing Canadian legal standards relating to the validity, enforceability and scope of protection of intellectual property rights offer only limited protection, may not provide the Company with any competitive advantages, and may be challenged by third parties. The laws of countries other than Canada may be even less protective of intellectual property rights. Accordingly, despite its efforts, the Company may be unable to prevent third parties from infringing upon or misappropriating its intellectual property or otherwise gaining access to the Company’s technology. Unauthorized third parties may try to copy or reverse engineer the Company’s products or portions of its products or otherwise obtain and use the Company’s intellectual property. Moreover, many of the Company’s employees have access to the Company’s trade secrets and other intellectual property. If one or more of these employees leave to work for one of the Company’s competitors, then they may disseminate this proprietary information, which may as a result damage the Company’s competitive position. If the Company fails to protect its intellectual property and other proprietary rights, then the Company’s business, results of operations or financial condition could be materially harmed. From time to time, the Company may have to initiate lawsuits to protect its intellectual property and other proprietary rights. Pursuing these claims is time consuming and expensive and could adversely impact the Company’s results of operations.
In addition, affirmatively defending the Company’s intellectual property rights and investigating whether the Company is pursuing a product or service development that may violate the rights of others may entail significant expense. Any of the Company’s intellectual property rights may be challenged by others or invalidated through administrative processes or litigation. If the Company resorts to legal proceedings to enforce its intellectual property rights or to determine the validity and scope of the intellectual property or other proprietary rights of others, then the proceedings could result in significant expense to the Company and divert the attention and efforts of the Company’s management and technical employees, even if the Company prevails.
Obtainingand maintaining the Company’s patent protection depends on compliance with various procedural, document submission, fee payment,and other requirements imposed by governmental patent agencies, and its patent protection could be reduced or eliminated for non-compliancewith these requirements.
The Canadian Intellectual Property Office (“CIPO”), the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”) and various foreign national or international patent agencies require compliance with a number of procedural, documentary, fee payment, and other similar provisions during the patent application process. Periodic maintenance fees on any issued patent are due to be paid to the CIPO, the USPTO and various foreign national or international patent agencies in several stages over
the lifetime of the patent. While an inadvertent lapse can in many cases be cured by payment of a late fee or by other means in accordance with the applicable rules, there are situations in which non-compliance can result in abandonment or lapse of the patent or patent application, resulting in partial or complete loss of patent rights in the relevant jurisdiction. Non-compliance events that could result in abandonment or lapse of patent rights include, but are not limited to, failure to timely file national and regional stage patent applications based on the Company’s international patent application, failure to respond to official actions within prescribed time limits, non-payment of fees, and failure to properly legalize and submit formal documents. If the Company fails to maintain the patents and patent applications covering its product candidates, its competitors might be able to enter the market, which would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business.
While a patent may be granted by a national patent office, there is no guarantee that the granted patent is valid. Options exist to challenge the validity of a patent which, depending upon the jurisdiction, may include re-examination, opposition proceedings before the patent office, and/or invalidation proceedings before the relevant court. Patent validity may also be the subject of a counterclaim to an allegation of patent infringement.

Pending patent applications may be challenged by third parties in protest or similar proceedings. Third parties can typically submit prior art material to patentability for review by the patent examiner. Regarding Patent Cooperation Treaty applications, a positive opinion regarding patentability issued by the International Searching Authority does not guarantee allowance of a national application derived from the Patent Cooperation Treaty application. The coverage claimed in a patent application can be significantly reduced before the patent is issued, and the patent’s scope can be modified after issuance. It is also possible that the scope of claims granted may vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.
The grant of a patent does not have any bearing on whether the invention described in the patent application would infringe the rights of earlier filed patents. It is possible to both obtain patent protection for an invention and yet still infringe the rights of an earlier granted patent.
TheCompany may be sued by third parties for alleged infringement of their proprietary rights, which could be costly, time-consumingand limit the Company’s ability to use certain technologies in the future.
The Company may become subject to claims that its technologies infringe upon the intellectual property or other proprietary rights of third parties. Any claims, with or without merit, could be time-consuming and expensive, and could divert the Company’s management’s attention away from the execution of its business plan. Moreover, any settlement or adverse judgment resulting from these claims could require the Company to pay substantial amounts or obtain a license to continue to use the disputed technology, or otherwise restrict or prohibit the Company’s use of the technology. The Company cannot assure that it would be able to obtain a license from the third party asserting the claim on commercially reasonable terms, if at all, that the Company would be able to develop alternative technology on a timely basis, if at all, or that the Company would be able to obtain a license to use a suitable alternative technology to permit the Company to continue offering, and the Company’s customers to continue using, the Company’s affected product. An adverse determination also could prevent the Company from offering its products to others. Infringement claims asserted against the Company may have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations or financial condition.
TheCompany may not be able to protect its intellectual property rights throughout the world.
Filing, prosecuting, and defending patents on all of the Company’s product candidates throughout the world would be prohibitively expensive. Therefore, the Company has filed applications and/or obtained patents only in key markets including the United States and Canada. Competitors may use the Company’s technologies in jurisdictions where it has not obtained patent protection to develop their own products and their products may compete with products of the Company.
Ifthe Company is required to write down goodwill and other intangible assets, the Company’s financial condition and resultscould be negatively affected.
Goodwill impairment arises when there is deterioration in the capabilities of acquired assets to generate cash flows, and the fair value of the goodwill dips below its book value. The Company is required to review its goodwill for impairment at least annually. Events that may trigger goodwill impairment include deterioration in economic conditions, increased competition, loss of key personnel, and regulatory action. Should any of these occur, an impairment of goodwill relating to the acquisition of Dronelogics Systems Inc. could have a negative effect on the assets of the Company.
Fromtime to time, the Company may become involved in legal proceedings, which could adversely affect the Company.
The Company may, from time to time in the future, become subject to legal proceedings, claims, litigation and government investigations or inquiries, which could be expensive, lengthy, and disruptive to normal business operations. In addition, the outcome of any legal proceedings, claims, litigation, investigations or inquiries may be difficult to predict and could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results, or financial condition.

TheCompany’s directors and officers may have conflicts of interest in conducting their duties.
Because directors and officers of the Company are or may become directors or officers of other reporting companies or have significant shareholdings in other technology companies, the directors and officers of the Company may have conflicts of interest in conducting their duties. The Company and its directors and officers will attempt to minimize such conflicts. In the event that such a conflict of interest arises at a meeting of the directors of the Company, a director who has such a conflict will abstain from voting for or against a particular matter in which the director has the conflict. In appropriate cases, the Company will establish a special committee of independent directors to review a particular matter in which several directors, or officers, may have a conflict. In determining whether or not the Company will participate in a particular program and the interest therein to be acquired by it, the directors will primarily consider the potential benefits to the Company, the degree of risk to which the Company may be exposed and its financial position at that time. Other than as indicated, the Company has no other procedures or mechanisms to deal with conflicts of interest.
The Company’s Articles provide that the Company must indemnify a director or former director against all judgments, penalties or fines to which such person is or may be liable by reason of such person being or having been a director of the Company and the executive officers and directors may also have rights to indemnification from the Company, including pursuant to directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies, that will survive termination of their agreements.
Changesin accounting standards and subjective assumptions, estimates and judgments by management related to complex accountingmatters could significantly affect the Company’s reported financial results or financial condition.
Changes in accounting standards and subjective assumptions, estimates and judgments by management related to complex accounting matters could significantly affect the Company’s reported financial results or financial condition. Generally accepted accounting principles and related accounting pronouncements, implementation guidelines and interpretations with regard to a wide range of matters that are relevant to the Company’s business, including but not limited to revenue recognition, impairment of goodwill and intangible assets, inventory, income taxes and litigation, are highly complex and involve many subjective assumptions, estimates and judgments. Changes in these rules or their interpretation or changes in underlying assumptions, estimates or judgments could significantly change the Company’s reported financial performance or financial condition in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
RisksRelated to Our Common Shares
Themarket price of the Common Shares may be highly volatile.
The market price of the Common Shares is highly volatile and has been subject to wide fluctuations in response to a number of factors that are beyond the Company’s control, including but not limited to
| ● | revenue<br> or results of operations in any quarter failing to meet the expectations, published or otherwise, of the investment community; |
|---|---|
| ● | actual<br> or anticipated changes or fluctuations in its results of operations; |
| ● | announcements<br> by us or the Company’s competitors of new products or new or terminated significant contracts, commercial relationships<br> or capital commitments; |
| ● | rumors<br> and market speculation involving it or other companies in its industry; |
| ● | changes<br> in its executive management team or the composition of the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”); |
| ● | fluctuations<br> in the share prices of other companies in the technology and emerging growth sectors; |
| ● | general<br> market conditions and macroeconomic trends driven by factors outside the Company’s control, such as pandemics, geopolitical<br> conflicts, supply chain disruptions, market volatility, inflation, rising interest rate, political instability, and labor challenges,<br> among other factors; |

If the market price of the Company’s Common Shares drops significantly, shareholders could institute securities class action lawsuits against it, regardless of the merits of such claims. Such a lawsuit could cause it to incur substantial costs and could divert the time and attention of management and other resources from the Company’s business, which could harm its business, results of operations and financial condition.
Thereis no guarantee that an active trading market for the Company’s Common Shares will be maintained on the CSE and/or Nasdaq.Investors may not be able to sell their Common Shares quickly or at the latest market price if the trading in our Common Sharesis not active.
The Company’s Common Shares are currently listed on the Canadian Stock Exchange (“CSE”), the Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC (“Nasdaq”), and the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, however, it shareholders may be unable to sell significant quantities of Common Shares into the public trading markets without a significant reduction in the price of their Common Shares, or at all and there can be no guarantee that an active trading market for the Common Shares may be maintained. There can be no assurance that there will be sufficient liquidity of its Common Shares on the trading market, and that we will continue to meet the listing requirements of the CSE, Nasdaq or any other public listing exchange.
Failureto meet Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements could result in the delisting of the Company’s Common Shares, negativelyimpact the price of the Company’s Common Shares and negatively impact its ability to raise additional capital.
If the Company fails to satisfy the continued listing requirements of the Nasdaq, such as corporate governance requirements or the minimum closing bid price requirement, the exchange may take steps to delist the Company’s Common Shares. Such a delisting would likely have a negative effect on the price of the Company’s Common Shares and would impair shareholders’ ability to sell or purchase its Common Shares when they wish to do so.
As previously disclosed, on September 22, 2023, the Company received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq notifying the Company of its noncompliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Bid Price Rule”) by failing to maintain a minimum bid price for the Company’s common shares of at least $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days. The Company was allowed an initial 180-day grace period, or until March 20, 2024, (the “Bid Price Compliance Period”), to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule. To regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule the closing bid price of the Company’s common shares needed to be at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days during the Bid Price Compliance Period.

On March 21, 2024, the Company received notification that it had failed to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule and is not eligible for a second 180 day compliance period because of its failure to comply with the $5 million minimum stockholders’ equity initial listing requirement for the period ended September 30, 2023. Unless the Company timely requests a hearing before an independent Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Nasdaq Panel”), the Company’s securities will be subject to delisting. Accordingly, the Company will request a hearing before the Nasdaq Panel. The hearing request will automatically stay any suspension or delisting action pending the hearing and the expiration of any additional extension period granted by the Nasdaq Panel following the hearing. In that regard, pursuant to the Nasdaq Listing Bid Price Rules, the Nasdaq Panel has the discretion to grant an additional extension period that can expire as late as September 17, 2024. At the hearing, the Company will be asked to provide a plan to regain compliance to the Nasdaq Panel. The Company intends to present a plan to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule and request the continued listing of its common shares on Nasdaq pending such compliance. However, there can be no assurance that the Nasdaq Panel will grant the Company’s request or that the Company will ultimately regain compliance with all applicable requirements for continued listing on Nasdaq.
Futureissuances of equity securities by us or sales by the Company’s existing shareholders may cause the price of its Common Sharesto fall.
The market price of the Company’s Common Shares could decline as a result of issuances of securities or sales by its existing shareholders in the market, including by its directors, executive officers and significant shareholders, or the perception that these sales could occur. Sales of the Company’s Common Shares by shareholders might also make it more difficult for it to sell Common Shares at a time and price that it deems appropriate. The Company also expects to issue Common Shares in the future. Future issuances of Common Shares, or the perception that such issuances are likely to occur, could affect the prevailing trading prices of the Common Shares.
Wemay never pay dividends over the foreseeable future.
Investors should not rely on an investment in the Company’s Common Shares to provide dividend income. The Company does not anticipate that it will pay any cash dividends to holders of its Common Shares in the foreseeable future. Instead, the Company plans to retain any earnings to maintain and expand its operations. In addition, any future debt financing arrangement may contain terms prohibiting or limiting the amount of dividends that may be declared or paid on its Common Shares. Accordingly, investors must rely on sales of their Common Shares after price appreciation, which may never occur, as the only way to realize any return on their investment. As a result, investors seeking cash dividends should not purchase the Company’s Common Shares.
UnitedStates investors may not be able to obtain enforcement of civil liabilities against us.
The Company is incorporated under the laws of British Columbia, Canada, and its principal executive offices are located in Canada. Most of the Company’s directors and officers and most of the experts named in this Annual Report reside outside of the United States and all or a substantial portion of the Company’s assets and the assets of these persons are located outside the United States. Consequently, it may not be possible for an investor to effect service of process within the United States on the Company or those persons. Furthermore, it may not be possible for an investor to enforce judgments obtained in United States courts based upon the civil liability provisions of United States federal securities laws or other laws of the United States against those persons or the Company. There is doubt as to the enforceability, in original actions in Canadian courts, of liabilities based upon United States federal securities laws and as to the enforceability in Canadian courts of judgments of United States courts obtained in actions based upon the civil liability provisions of the United States federal securities laws. Therefore, it may not be possible to enforce those actions against the Company, certain of the Company’s directors and officers or the experts named in this Annual Report.

Weare an emerging growth company and intend to take advantage of reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies,which could make the Company’s Common Shares less attractive to investors.
We are an “emerging growth company” as defined in the JOBS Act. We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest to occur of (i) the last day of the fiscal year in which we have total annual gross revenue of $1.07 billion or more; (ii) December 31, 2026 (the last day of the fiscal year ending after the fifth anniversary of the date of the completion of the first sales of its common equity pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act); (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the prior three-year period; or (iv) the date we qualify as a “large accelerated filer” under the rules of the SEC, which means the market value of the Company’s Common Shares held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of its most recently completed second fiscal quarter after we have been a reporting company in the United States for at least 12 months. For so long as we remain an emerging growth company, we are permitted to and intend to rely upon exemptions from certain disclosure requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies. These exemptions include not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 (“Section 404”) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (2002), as amended (the “Sarbanes-OxleyAct”).
We may take advantage of some, but not all, of the available exemptions available to emerging growth companies. We cannot predict whether investors will find the Company’s Common Shares less attractive if it relies on these exemptions. If some investors find the Company’s Common Shares less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for its Common Shares and the price of its Common Shares may be more volatile.
Wewill incur increased costs as a result of operating as a public company in the United States and the Company’s managementwill be required to devote substantial time to new compliance initiatives.
As a U.S. public company, particularly if or when we are no longer an “emerging growth company” as defined under the JOBS Act, we incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses, in addition to those we incur as a Canadian public company, that we did not incur prior to being listed on Nasdaq. In addition, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and rules implemented by the SEC and Nasdaq impose various other requirements on public companies, and the Company spends time and resources to ensure compliance with its reporting obligations in both Canada and the United States.
For example, pursuant to Section 404, we are required to furnish a report by our management on our internal control over financial reporting (“ICFR”), which, if or when we are no longer an emerging growth company, must be accompanied by an attestation report on ICFR issued by our independent registered public accounting firm. To achieve compliance with Section 404, we must document and evaluate our ICFR, which is both costly and challenging. In this regard, we must dedicate internal resources, potentially engage outside consultants and adopt a detailed work plan to assess and document the adequacy of our ICFR, continue steps to improve control processes as appropriate, validate through testing that controls are functioning as documented and implement a continuous reporting and improvement process for ICFR. Despite our efforts, there is a risk that neither we nor our independent registered public accounting firm will be able to conclude that our ICFR is effective as required by Section 404. This could result in a determination that there are one or more material weaknesses in our ICFR, which could cause an adverse reaction in the financial markets due to a loss of confidence in the reliability of our consolidated financial statements.
In addition, becoming a public company in the United States has increased legal and financial compliance as well as regulatory costs, such as additional Nasdaq fees, and has made some of our public company obligations more time consuming. We invest resources to comply with evolving laws, regulations and standards in both Canada and the United States, and this investment results in increased general and administrative expenses and increased diversion of management’s time and attention from revenue-generating activities to compliance activities. If our efforts to comply with public company laws, regulations and standards in the United States are insufficient, regulatory authorities may initiate legal proceedings against us and our business may be harmed.

Being a public company in the United States and complying with applicable rules and regulations also makes it more expensive for us to obtain sufficient levels of director and officer liability insurance coverage. This factor may also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified executive officers and members of our Board of Directors.
Asa foreign private issuer, we are subject to different U.S. securities laws and rules than a domestic U.S. issuer, which may limitthe information publicly available to the Company’s U.S. shareholders.
We currently qualify as a “foreign private issuer” under applicable U.S. federal securities laws and, therefore, are not required to comply with all of the periodic disclosure and current reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and related rules and regulations. As a result, we do not file the same reports that a U.S. domestic issuer would file with the SEC, although we are required to file with or furnish to the SEC the continuous disclosure documents that we are required to file in Canada under Canadian securities laws. In addition, the Company’s officers, directors and principal shareholders are exempt from the reporting and “short swing” profit recovery provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act. Therefore, the Company’s shareholders may not know on as timely a basis when its officers, directors and principal shareholders purchase or sell our securities as the reporting periods under the corresponding Canadian insider reporting requirements are longer. In addition, as a foreign private issuer, the Company is exempt from the proxy rules under the Exchange Act. The Company is also exempt from Regulation FD, which prohibits issuers from making selective disclosures of material non-public information. While the Company expects to comply with the corresponding requirements relating to proxy statements and disclosure of material non-public information under Canadian securities laws, these requirements differ from those under the Exchange Act and Regulation FD and shareholders should not expect to receive in every case the same information at the same time as such information is provided by U.S. domestic issuers.
In addition, as a foreign private issuer, we have the option to follow certain Canadian corporate governance practices, except to the extent that such laws would be contrary to U.S. federal securities laws and Nasdaq listing rules and provided that we disclose the requirements we are not following and describe the Canadian practices we follow instead. We rely on this exemption in part. As a result, the Company’s shareholders may not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of U.S. domestic issuers that are subject to all U.S. corporate governance requirements.
At some point in the future, we may cease to be a foreign private issuer. If we cease to qualify, we will be subject to the same reporting requirements and corporate governance requirements as a U.S. domestic issuer, which may increase the Company’s costs of being a public company in the United States.

REGULATORYPOLICIES
DisclosureControls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures (“DC&P”) are designed to provide reasonable assurance that all material information is gathered and reported on a timely basis to senior management so that appropriate decisions can be made regarding public disclosure and that information required to be disclosed by the issuer under securities legislation is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in securities legislation. The Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), along with other members of management, have designed, or caused to be designed under the CEO and CFO’s supervision, DC&P and established processes to ensure that they are provided with sufficient knowledge to support the representations made in the interim certificates required to be filed under National Instrument 52-109.
InternalControls over Financial Reporting
The CEO and CFO, along with participation from other members of management, are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate Internal Control over Financial Reporting (“ICFR”) to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS. During the year ended December 31, 2025, there has been no change in the Company’s ICFR that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s ICFR.
Limitationsof Controls and Procedures
The Company’s management, including its CEO and CFO, believe that any DC&P or ICFR, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, they cannot provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been prevented or detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgements in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake.
The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Accordingly, because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
