INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To the Shareholders of Nuran Wireless Inc.
Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Nuran Wireless Inc. and its subsidiaries (together, the “Company”), which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at December 31, 2024, and the consolidated statements of net loss and comprehensive loss, changes in shareholders’ equity (deficiency) and cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including material accounting policy information.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2024, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards (“GAAS”). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audits of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated financial statements in Canada, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern
We draw attention to Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements which indicates that as at December 31, 2024, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $19,103,397 and an accumulated deficit of $72,797,613 and, for the year then ended, the Company incurred a net loss of $8,755,860 and an operating cash deficiency of $6,221,099. These events or conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
In addition to the matter described in the Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern section, we have determined the matter described below to be the key audit matter to be communicated in our report.

Convertible Debentures
(Refer to note 17 in the consolidated financial statements)
On August 16, 2024, the Company issued unsecured convertible debentures in the principal amount of US$2,194,772 with an original issue discount equal to 25% of the payable amount, an interest rate of 15% per annum and a maturity of August 16, 2026.
The convertible debentures represent a hybrid financial instrument with the conversion option being an embedded derivative that was classified as fair value through profit and loss.
As at December 31, 2024, the derivative liability was valued at $nil and management recorded a fair value adjustment on the derivative liability for the year of $53,482 in the consolidated statements of net loss and comprehensive loss.
The accounting treatment for the convertible debentures requires judgment in estimating the respective fair values of the liability and the derivative components.
This matter is a key audit matter because the amounts are material and estimating the fair value of the convertible debentures and the fair value of` the embedded derivate requires the use of an appropriate valuation model that incorporates the interest rate, the Company’s share price, and the volatility rate.
|
Our procedures included, amongst others:
● We obtained and reviewed the agreement and confirmed the terms of the convertible debentures outstanding balance with the counter party;
● We analysed the Company’s assessment of the accounting treatment of the convertible debentures;
● We assessed the mathematical accuracy of the calculations of the derivative liability on the initial recognition and as at year-end including the appropriateness of the interest rate, share price and volatility rate used by management;
● We assessed the mathematical accuracy of the calculations of the outstanding debentures balance and its related interest.
● We assessed the reasonableness of the Company’s accounting treatment and disclosure of the convertible debentures and their related embedded derivate in accordance with IFRS 9;
|
Other Matter
The consolidated financial statements of the Company as at and for the year ended December 31, 2023, were audited by another auditor who expressed an unmodified opinion on those statements on April 26, 2024.

Other information
Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) but does not include the consolidated financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the MD&A and we do not express and form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the MD&A identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the MD&A is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements, or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be misstated.
We obtained the MD&A prior to the dale of this auditor’s report. If based on the work we have performed on this MD&A, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this MD&A, we are required to report that fact in this auditor’s report. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the IASB, and Tor such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters relating to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements. As part of an audit in accordance with GAAS, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

4 |
| ● | Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. |
| ● | Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. |
| ● | Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management. |
| ● | Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern. |
| ● | Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. |
| ● | Plan and perform the group audit to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business units within the Company as a basis for forming an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and review of the audit work performed for purposes of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion. |
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
![]() |
5 |
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor’s report is Ahmad Aslam.

The Company provides products and services that help Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) profitably serve off-grid markets. The main strategy is to finance, build, sell to a customer and manage rural cellular infrastructure telecommunications sites, monetizing the assets through a Network as a Service (NaaS) business model that has been developed by the Company. It also sells products and services direct to MNOs and others which they build into their own networks.
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis of accounting, which assumes that the Company will continue operations for the foreseeable future and be able to realize the carrying value of its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. For the year ended December 31, 2024 the Company incurred a net loss of $8,755,860 (2023 - $12,322,245) and used net cash of $6,221,099 (2023 - $9,075,500) in operating activities and, as of that date, had an accumulated deficit of $72,797,613 (2023 - $64,041,753) and a working capital deficiency of $19,103,397 (2023 – $12,635,603).
While these conditions indicate the existence of uncertainties that cast a doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, they highlight the need for ongoing capital and operational management. The Company has a history of securing sufficient debt and equity funding and continues to actively pursue additional financing to support its operations and growth, and the Company has also realised recent growth in revenue which reduces the need to raise capital at the same level in the future. Management is focused on executing its strategy centered around the Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) model, which includes the deployment of over 5,000 rural mobile sites under contracts signed between 2020 and 2024.

Functional and presentation currency
These consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars (“dollar”), which is Nuran’s presentation currency. All amounts have been rounded to the nearest dollar unless otherwise indicated. Details of the subsidiaries’ functional currencies are included in note 1.
Foreign currency transactions
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the respective functional currencies at the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate at the reporting date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured based on historical cost in a foreign currency are translated at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency differences are generally recognised in consolidated statements of net loss and comprehensive loss.
Foreign operations
The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into Canadian dollars at the exchange rates at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations are translated into Canadian dollars at the average exchange rates for the period. Foreign currency differences are recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) and accumulated in the translation reserve. For the current year, a loss of $1,170,878 was recognized in the translation reserve (2023 - $191,355).
| 3. | MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION |
Revenue
To determine whether to recognize revenue, the Company follows a five-step process:
| 1. | Identifying the contract with a customer; |
| 2. | Identifying the performance obligations; |
| 3. | Determining the transaction price; |
| 4. | Allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations; |
5. Recognizing revenue when/as performance obligations are satisfied. Revenue arises from the sale of goods and the rendering of services and is measured at the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods and services to customer, excluding sales taxes.
The Company recognizes revenue from -two sources: sale of goods and rendering of services (Network as a Service).

| 3. | MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION (CONTINUED) |
Sale of goods
Performance obligations for the Company’s revenue that is derived from the sale of goods is recognised at a point in time, when control of the goods has transferred to the customer. This is generally when the goods are delivered to the customer. However, for export sales, control might also be transferred when delivered either to the port of departure or port of arrival, depending on the specific terms of the contract with a customer. There is limited judgement needed in identifying the point control passes: once physical delivery of the products to the agreed location has occurred, the Company no longer has physical possession, usually will have a present right to payment (as a single payment on delivery) and retains none of the significant risks and rewards of the goods in question.
Revenue is derived from fixed price contracts and therefore the amount of revenue to be earned from each contract is determined by reference to those fixed prices. There is a fixed unit price for each product sold, with reductions given for bulk orders placed at a specific time. Therefore, there is no judgement involved in allocating the contract price to each unit ordered in such contracts (it is the total contract price divided by the number of units ordered).
Network as a Service (“NaaS”)
The Company’s Network as a Service (“NaaS”) contracts normally contain two performance obligations: the construction and sale of the network site, and the operation of the network site. Revenue for the construction and sale of the network site is recognised at a point in time, when the network has been constructed and accepted by the customer. Legal title is not passing to the customer until the defined transfer date. Revenue for the network operation is recognised typically on an over time basis, over the life of the contract. This is because the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of the network operation services throughout the term of the contract and the contracts require payment to be received for the time and effort spent by the Company on progressing the contract.
The Company’s NaaS contracts operating revenue is a fixed guaranteed minimum amount plus a variable portion equal to a percentage of the gross margin (defined as gross revenue generated by the site less allowable direct costs deducted by the Mobile Network Operator) earned by the network over the life of the contract. When estimating the percentage of gross margin earned by the network sites the Company has been constrained because it does not yet have sufficient historical experience to reliably estimate the value of the payment that will be received and is a function of the mobile voice and data traffic which is unknown.
On the sale of network sites, the Company accepts monthly instalment payments from the date the site is accepted/recognized as operational up to the contractual transfer date, in advance of the transfer of the legal title (sale). The Company measures the amount of revenue to recognise on delivery of the goods by calculating a financing component at the interest rate that would have applied had the Company borrowed the funds from its customer.
The transaction price is then allocated between all performance obligations on a relative stand-alone selling price basis. The stand-alone selling price per site is estimated based on the expected cost of building the site, including the financing component, plus a profit margin (Gross Cost). The difference between the Gross Cost and the estimate of the Gross Margin for each of the Network’s sites, is classified as operational income.

(Expressed in Canadian dollars)
| 3. | MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICYINFORMATION (CONTINUED) |
The costs of fulfilling contracts do not result in the recognition of a separate asset because for service contracts, revenue is recognised over time by reference to the stage of completion meaning that control of the asset (the design service) is transferred to the customer on a continuous basis as work is carried out. Consequently, no asset for work in progress is recognised.
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are initially recognized at acquisition cost, including any costs directly attributable to bringing the assets to the location and condition necessary for it to be operated in the manner intended by the Company’s management. They are subsequently measured using the cost model, cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
Depreciation is recognized according to the following methods to write down the cost less estimated residual value, if any. The following rates are applied:
| Methods | Rates | |
| Leasehold improvements | straight-line | 5 years |
| Equipment and furniture, telecommunication system, furniture and fixtures | decreasing | 20% |
| Computer equipment | decreasing | 30% |
The residual value, depreciation method and useful life of each asset are reviewed at least at each financial year-end.
Gains or losses arising from the disposal of property, plant and equipment are determined as the difference between the disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the assets and are recognized in profit or loss when incurred.
Intangible assets
Recognition of intangible assets
The acquired computer software is capitalized on the basis of costs incurred to acquire and install the specific software. Trademarks acquired are recognized as intangible assets at their cost. The Company also develops third and forth generation mobile networks (3G,4G).
Expenditure on the research phase of projects is recognized as an expense as incurred. Costs that are attributable to a project’s development phase are recognized as intangible assets, provided that they meet the following recognition requirements:
| ■ | The development costs can be measured reliably; |
| ■ | The project is technically and commercially feasible; |
| ■ | The Company intends and has sufficient resources to complete the project; |
| ■ | The Company has the ability to use or sell the asset; |
| ■ | The asset will generate probable future economic benefits. |
Development costs not meeting these criteria for capitalization are expensed as incurred. Directly attributable costs include employee costs incurred on development along with an appropriate portion of relevant overheads.

Subsequent measurement
All intangible assets are accounted for using the cost model whereby capitalized costs (except for trademarks) are amortized over their estimated useful lives, as these assets are considered finite. The following amortization method and rate are applied:
| Method | Rate | |
| Software | Straight-line | 20% |
| 3G and 4G software | Units of production | — |
As no finite useful life for trademarks can be determined, related carrying amounts are not amortized.
The residual value, depreciation method and useful life of each asset are reviewed at least at each financial year-end.
Gains or losses arising from the disposal of intangible assets are determined as the difference between the disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the assets and are recognized in profit or loss when incurred.
Right-of-use assets
Right-of-use assets are initially measured at the amount of the lease liability. Subsequent to initial measurements, right-of-use assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of the lease.
Impairment of financial assets
A maximum 12-month allowance for ECL is recognized from initial recognition reflecting the portion of lifetime cash shortfalls that would result if a default occurs in the 12 months after the reporting date, weighted by the risk of a default occurring.
A lifetime ECL allowance is recognized if a significant increase in credit risk is detected subsequent to the instruments initial recognition reflecting lifetime cash shortfalls that would result over the expected life of a financial instrument.
A lifetime ECL allowance is recognized for credit impaired financial instruments.
The Company assesses all information available, including on a forward-looking basis the expected credit losses (ECL) associated with any financial assets carried at amortized cost.
The Company assumes that the credit risk on a financial asset has increased significantly if it is more than 30 days past due. The Company considers a financial asset to be in default when the borrower is unlikely to pay its credit obligations to the Company in full or when the financial asset is more than 90 days past due.
The carrying amount of a financial asset is written off (either partially or in full) to the extent that there is no realistic prospect of recovery. This is generally the case when the Company determines that the debtor does not have assets or sources of income that could generate sufficient cash flows to repay the amounts.

Financial instruments
Recognition and initial measurement
The Company recognizes financial liability when it becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. At initial recognition, the Company measures financial liabilities at their fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to their issuance, except for financial liabilities subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss for which transaction costs are immediately recorded in profit or loss. Where an instrument contains both a liability and equity component, these components are recognized separately based on the substance of the instrument, with the liability component measured initially at fair value and the equity component assigned the residual amount after deducting from the fair value of the instrument as a whole the amount separately determined for the liability component.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
The Company derecognizes a financial liability only when its contractual obligations are discharged, cancelled or expire.
Classification and subsequent measurement
Subsequent to initial recognition, all financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Interest, gains and losses relating to a financial liability are recognized in profit or loss. Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost are comprised of accrued liabilities.
Financial assets are classified into the following categories:
| ■ | Amortized cost; |
| ■ | Fair value through profit or loss (FVPL); |
| ■ | Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI). |
For the periods considered, all financial assets of the Company are classified into the amortized cost category.
The classification is determined by both the entity’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset.
All income and expenses relating to financial assets are recognized in profit or loss.
Subsequent measurement of financial assets
After initial recognition, these are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, minus, if any, an allowance for impairment loss. Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial. Cash and trades and other receivables fall into this category of financial instruments.

Impairment of financial assets
IFRS 9’s impairment requirements use more forward-looking information to recognize expected credit losses. Instruments within the scope of the requirements included accounts receivable. Recognition of credit losses is no longer dependent on the Company first identifying a credit loss event. Instead, the Company considers a broader range of information when assessing credit risk and measuring expected credit losses, including past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the expected collectability of the future cash flows of the instrument.
In applying this forward-looking approach, a distinction is made between:
| ■ | Financial instruments that have not deteriorated significantly in credit quality since initial recognition or that have low credit risk (“Stage 1”); and |
| ■ | Financial instruments that have deteriorated significantly in credit quality since initial recognition and whose credit risk is not low (“Stage 2”). |
“Stage 3” would cover financial assets that have objective evidence of impairment at the reporting date.
“Twelve-month expected credit losses” are recognized for the first category while “lifetime expected credit losses” are recognized for the second category.
Measurement of the expected credit losses is determined by a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses over the expected life of the financial instrument.
The Company assesses the impairment of trade accounts receivable on an individual basis since they originate from specific contracts.
Classification and measurement of financial liabilities
The Company’s financial liabilities include trade and other payables, deferred revenue, loans payable, long-term debt, convertible debentures and derivative liabilities and lease liabilities.
Financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value, and, where applicable, adjusted for transaction costs unless the Company designated a financial liability at fair value through profit or loss.
Subsequently, financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method except for derivatives and financial liabilities designated at FVPL, which are carried subsequently at fair value with gains or losses recognized in profit or loss.
All interest-related charges and, if applicable, changes in an instrument’s fair value that are reported in the profit and loss are included within financial expenses.

Convertible debentures
Convertible debentures are financial instruments which are accounted for separately dependent on the nature of their components: a financial liability and an equity instrument. The identification of such components embedded within a convertible debenture requires significant judgment given that it is based on the interpretation of the substance of the contractual arrangement. Where the conversion option has a fixed conversion rate, the financial liability, which represents the obligation to pay coupon interest on the convertible debentures in the future, is initially measured at its fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost. The residual amount is accounted for as an equity instrument at issuance. Where the conversion option has a variable conversion rate, the conversion option is recognized as a derivative liability measured at fair value through profit and loss. The residual amount is recognized as a financial liability and subsequently measured at amortized cost. Original issuance discount represents the difference between the face value and the actual proceeds received from the debentures and loans which is amortized over time through accretion. The fair value adjustment is the difference between the present value of the existing debenture and the present value of the new debenture. The determination of the fair value is also an area of significant judgment given that it is subject to various inputs, assumptions and estimates including: contractual future cash flows, discount rates, credit spreads and volatility.
The Company accounts for amendments to convertible debt as a substantial modification if one of the following tests are met:
| ■ | The present value of the cash flows under the terms of the new debt instrument is at least 10 percent different from the present value of the remaining cash flows under the terms of the original instrument; or |
| ■ | A significant change in the terms and conditions such that immediate derecognition is required with no additional quantitative analysis. |
A substantial modification shall be accounted for like an extinguishment. If any of the tests above are not met, the debt is accounted for as a debt modification.
Leases
An agreement is a lease if the agreement conveys the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefit from the use of the identified asset and the right to direct the use of the identified asset.

Company as a lessee
The Company leases certain property, plant and equipment as right-of-use assets. Lease terms are negotiated on an individual basis and contain a wide range of different terms and conditions. Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a present value basis, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. Lease liabilities include the present value of fixed and variable payments, residual value guarantees, exercise of purchase options if reasonably certain to be exercised and any penalties for terminating the lease if reasonably certain to terminate. Right-of-use assets are measured at cost comprised of the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability plus any lease payments made before the lease commencement date, any initial direct costs and restoration costs. Lease payments are allocated between finance charges and a reduction of the outstanding lease obligation. Finance charges are recognized in net earnings, unless they are directly attributable to qualifying assets, in which case they are capitalized in accordance with the Company’s general policy on borrowing costs. If the underlying right-of-use asset transfers to the lessee at the end of the lease term or the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise a purchase option, the depreciation shall be the useful life of the right-of-use asset in accordance with the Company’s depreciation methods and rates based on the class of the right-of-use asset. Otherwise, the right-of-use assets are depreciated over the shorter of the useful life of the asset and the lease term on a straight-line basis. The Company is exposed to potential future increases in variable lease payments based on an index or rate which are not included in the lease liability until they take effect. When the adjustments for variable payments take effect, the lease liability is reassessed and adjusted against the right-of-use asset.
For any contracts with a short-term or if the present value of the right-of-use asset has a low-value, the Company will expense the lease payments as incurred and no right-of-use asset will be recorded.
Right-of-use assets are initially measured at the amount of the lease liability. Subsequent to initial measurements, right-of-use assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of the lease.
Lease liabilities
Lease liabilities are measured at the present value of the contractual payments due to the lessor over the lease term, with the discount rate determined by reference to the rate inherent in the lease unless (as is typically the case) this is not readily determinable, in which case the Company’s incremental borrowing rate on commencement of the lease is used. Variable lease payments are only included in the measurement of the lease liability if they depend on an index or rate. In such cases, the initial measurement of the lease liability assumes the variable element will remain unchanged throughout the lease term. Other variable lease payments are expensed in the period to which they relate. Subsequent to initial measurement, lease liabilities increase as a result of interest charged at a constant rate on the balance outstanding and are reduced for lease payments made.
Income taxes
The tax expense recognized in the profit or loss comprises the sum of deferred taxes and current taxes not recognized directly in equity.
Current income tax assets and/or liabilities comprise those obligations to, or claims from, tax authorities relating to the current or prior reporting periods, that are unpaid at the reporting date. Current taxes are payable on taxable profit, which differs from profit or loss in the consolidated financial statements. The calculation of current taxes is based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period

Deferred income taxes are calculated using the liability method on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. However, deferred taxes are not provided on the initial recognition of an asset or liability unless the related transaction is a business combination or affects tax or accounting profit.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated, without discounting, at tax rates that are expected to apply to their respective period of realization, provided that those rates are enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that the underlying tax loss or deductible temporary difference will be utilized against future taxable income. This is assessed based on the
Company’s forecast of future operating results, adjusted for significant non-taxable income and expenses and specific limits on the use of any unused tax loss or credit. Deferred tax liabilities are always provided for in full.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only when the Company has the right and intention to set off current tax assets and liabilities from the same taxation authority.
Changes in deferred tax assets or liabilities are recognized as a component of tax income or expense in profit or loss, except where they relate to items that are directly in equity, in which case the related deferred taxes are also recognized in equity.
Investment tax credits and government assistance
Investment tax credits and government assistance related to current expenses are accounted for as a reduction of research and development costs and as other revenue, respectively, while those related to the acquisition of property, plant and equipment or intangible assets are accounted for as a reduction of the cost of the related asset. Investment tax credits and government assistance are accrued in the 14 months period in which the related expenses or capital expenditures are incurred, provided that the Company is reasonably certain that the credits will be received. Investment tax credits must be examined and approved by tax authorities and it is possible that the amounts granted will differ from the amounts recorded.
Inventories
Raw materials are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value, the cost being determined using the first in, first out method. Raw materials consists of the materials used in the manufacturing of equipment. Finished goods are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value, the cost being determined using the first in, first out method. Finished goods consist of the equipment used in production, sites construction for NaaS sites, which are sold upon completion of NaaS sites.

Equity and Reserves
Share capital represents the paid-up capital of shares that have been issued, net of share issue cost.
Retained earnings (deficit) include all current and prior period retained profits and losses.
Contributed surplus includes costs recognized in accordance with the share-based compensation, warrants and expired convertible debenture equity components.
Unit placements
The proceeds from the issued units are allocated between the shares and the warrants using the fair value method. Proceeds are allocated between shares and warrants based on the relative weight of the fair value of each component. The fair value of the shares is determined by the market price and the warrants by using Black-Scholes option pricing model.
Share-based compensation
The Company operates an equity-settled share-based remuneration plan for its employees, which is not cash-settled. Moreover, the Company may grant warrants to its suppliers as payment of goods and services. All goods and services received in exchange for the grant of any share-based payments are measured at their fair value.
Where employees are rewarded using share-based payments, the fair value of employees’ services is determined indirectly by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments granted.
Where suppliers are rewarded using share-based payments, the Company estimates the fair value of the goods or services received, unless such fair value cannot be estimated reliably. In such a case, the fair value of the goods or services is determined indirectly by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments granted.
The fair value of the equity instruments granted is appraised at the grant date and excludes the impact of non-market vesting conditions (for example, profitability and sales growth targets and performance conditions).
All share-based remuneration is ultimately recognized as an expense in profit or loss with a corresponding credit to equity in “Contributed surplus”. If vesting periods or other vesting conditions apply, the expense is allocated over the vesting period, based on the best available estimate of the number of share options expected to vest.
Non-market vesting conditions are included in assumptions about the number of options that are expected to become exercisable. Estimates are subsequently revised if there is any indication that the number of share options expected to vest differs from previous estimates. Any adjustment to cumulative share-based compensation resulting from a revision is recognized in the current period. The number of vested options ultimately exercised by holders does not impact the expense recorded in any period.
Upon exercise of warrants or share options, the proceeds received and the compensation costs previously recorded as contributed surplus, net of any directly attributable transaction costs, are allocated to share capital.

For those warrants that expire unexercised, the recorded value is transferred from warrant reserve to the deficit. Expired options remain in the contributed surplus.
Provisions, contingent assets and contingent liabilities
Provisions for legal disputes, onerous contracts or other claims are recognized when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic resources will be required from the Company and amounts can be estimated reliably. Timing or amount of the outflow may still be uncertain.
Provisions are measured at the estimated expenditure required to settle the present obligation, based on the most reliable evidence available at the reporting date, including the risks and uncertainties associated with the present obligation. Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. Provisions are discounted to their present values, where the time value of money is material.
Any reimbursement that the Company can be virtually certain to collect from a third party with respect to the obligation is recognized as a separate asset. However, this asset may not exceed the amount of the related provision.
No liability is recognized if an outflow of economic resources as a result of present obligations is not probable. Such situations are disclosed as contingent liabilities unless the outflow of resources is remote.
Significant management judgments in applying accounting policies and estimation uncertainty
The Company makes certain estimates and assumptions regarding the future. Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. In the future, actual experience may differ from these estimates and assumptions. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.
Significant management judgments
| ■ | Going concern: |
The assessment of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, to raise sufficient funds to pay for its ongoing operating expenditures and to discharge its liabilities for the ensuing year involves significant judgment based on historical experience and other factors, including the expectation of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances (Note 1).
Capitalization of internally developed software:
Distinguishing the research and development phases of a new customized software project and determining whether the recognition requirements for capitalization of development costs are met requires judgment. After capitalization, management monitors whether the recognition requirements continue to be met and whether there are any indicators that capitalized costs may be impaired (Note 10).

Determining the amount of investment tax credits requires estimates and significant judgment as management needs to assess if research and development projects for which investment tax credits are claimed are eligible, as well as assessing if the expenses incurred are eligible.
| ■ | Expected credit loss of trade accounts receivable: |
Significant estimates and judgments are required in the application of IFRS 9 when measuring the expected credit losses and the assessment of expected credit loss provisions required for trade accounts receivable, including the forward-looking information to adjust historic loss rates (Note 6).
| ■ | Share-based compensation: |
Significant estimates and judgments are required in determining the fair value of the equity instruments granted as share-based compensation or the fair value of goods or services received. The estimated value of share-based compensation requires the selection of an appropriate valuation model and data and consideration as to the volatility of the Company’s own shares, the probable life of share options and warrants granted and the time of exercise of those share options and warrants. The model used by the Company is the Black-Scholes valuation model (Notes 19 and 20).
| ■ | The determination of the recoverable amount of non-financial assets: |
In assessing impairment, management estimates the recoverable amount of each asset of the cash-generating unit based on expected future cash flows and uses an interest rate to discount them. Estimation uncertainties relate to assumptions about future operating results and the determination of a suitable discount rate.

| 3. | MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION (CONTINUED) |
| ■ | The determination of incremental borrowing rate used and expected lease lengths in the application of IFRS 16 - Leases: |
Determining the incremental borrowing rate is more complex than simply determining the weighted rate that an entity pays on its current borrowings. The Company determines the incremental borrowing rate by taking into consideration the base rate, financing factors, and asset factors. The Company determines the expected lease lengths by assessing the periods for which the lease contract is enforceable. A lease is no longer enforceable when the lessee and the lessor each has the right to terminate the lease without permission from the other party with no more than an insignificant penalty (Note 16).
| ■ | Effective interest rate of convertible financial instruments: |
For accounting of convertible financial instruments, the Company needs to determine the effective interest rate required to evaluate the fair value of the liability component. The effective interest rate should be the market rate of interest that would be payable on a similar debt instrument that does not include an option to convert. Determining such a market rate requires assumptions such as comparable loans on the market and qualitative and quantitative analysis of the financial position of the Company (Note 17).
| ● | Income taxes: |
The determination of the Company’s tax expense or recovery for the period and deferred tax assets and liabilities involves significant estimation and judgment by management. In determining these amounts, management interprets tax legislation in a variety of jurisdictions and makes estimates of the expected timing of the reversal of deferred tax assets and liabilities. Management also makes estimates of future earnings, which affect the extent to which potential future tax benefits may be used.
| ● | Fair value of the derivative liability: |
Determining the fair value of the derivative liability involves the application of the partial differential equations method. The Company uses its judgment to select a valuation model and to develop unobservable inputs to determine the fair values of the derivative liability at the end of each reporting period. Determining the fair values of the derivative liability requires management to use significant unobservable inputs related to the expected volatility and the credit spread. The valuation of the convertible debenture is subjective and can impact profit and loss significantly.
| 4. | APPLICATION OF NEW AND REVISED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS |
The Company adopted the amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements regarding the classification of liabilities as current or non-current and non-current liabilities with covenants, amendments to IFRS 16 Leases regarding the measurement requirements for sale and leaseback transactions, and amendments to IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows and IFRS 7 Financial Statements: Disclosures regarding additional disclosures about supplier finance arrangements, which were effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024. These amendments did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

| 4. | APPLICATION OF NEW AND REVISED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS (CONTINUED) |
Future changes in significant accounting policies
At December 31, 2024, the following standards and interpretations which may be applicable to the Company, but have not yet been applied in these consolidated financial statements, were in issue but not yet effective: IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements and consequential amendments to other IFRS standards:
In April 2024, the IASB released IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements. IFRS 18 replaces IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements while carrying forward many of the requirements in IAS 1, IFRS 18 introduces new requirements to: i) present specified categories and defined subtotals in the statement of earnings, ii) provide disclosures on management-defined performance measures in the notes to the financial statements, iii) improve aggregation and disaggregation. Some of the requirements in IAS 1 are moved to IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures. The IASB also made minor amendments to IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows and IAS 33 Earnings per Share in connection with the new standard. IFRS 18 requires retrospective application with specific transition provisions. The Company is required to apply IFRS 18 for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027 with early adoption permitted. The Company has not early adopted this IFRS.
Amendments to IAS 21
Lack of exchangeability requires an entity to use a consistent approach when exchanging a currency into another. If the currency is unexchangeable, a consistent approach must be used in determining the exchange rate and necessary disclosures.
The Company does not anticipate these amendments to have a significant impact on its financial statements.
| 5. | OPERATING SEGMENTS |
During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company operated as a manufacturer of digital electronic circuits and wireless telecommunication products, which was considered one reportable segment under the requirements of IFRS 8.
The Company changed its business model in its subsidiaries to act also as a Network as a Service (NaaS) entity in various geographical areas which was considered another reportable segment under the requirements of IFRS 8.
The operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker.

Given their short-term maturity, the carrying amount of loans payable is considered a reasonable approximation of their fair value.
| a) | The loan from a non-related company is secured by a chattel mortgage on the universality of the Company’s assets. |
The loan relates to a factoring agreement dated October 4, 2023, for the sale of $287,306 of receivables owed to Nuran by its operating subsidiaries in Africa for gross proceeds of $173,686.
Under the terms of the agreement, the creditor has recourse against the Company in certain circumstances. If the creditor delivers a recourse notice, the Company has the option of satisfying any repurchase request of the account in cash at 107% of the price originally paid by the creditor for the account or by issuing units of the Company (each a “Unit”) at $0.225 per Unit for the amount of the account. Each Unit is to be comprised of (i) one share in the capital of the Company; and (ii) three quarters (3/4) of one warrant exercisable into one additional share of the Company at $0.25until October 4, 2026.
The loan bears interest until the creditor has received payment, at a rate of 15% per annum.
During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Factor requested the conversion of debt under this agreement totaling a value of $33,750, including interest, in common shares of the Company. Taking into account the book value of the debt converted the carrying value recorded for these shares was $24,900.
The cost of the loan for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $76,462 (2023 - $16,118) and was included in in profit and loss as financial expenses.
| b) | This secured promissory note of USD $1,653,947, dated April 24, 2023 from a US-based institution. This note bears interest at 10% per annum and the maturity date was initially October 24, 2023 but was extended as follows. |

On December 4th, 2023, the Company extended the loan facility until October 21, 2024. As consideration, an extension fee of $230,117 was added to the principal and the Company issued the lender 5,000,000 share purchase warrants to replace the existing warrants of 2,000,000 held by the lender, with each warrant exercisable to acquire a share of the Company at an exercise price of $0.25 which expire on December 1, 2025. In addition, the Company agreed to add a conversion feature to the loan, at $0.225 per common share of the Company (Note 19). Any securities issuable upon exercise of these warrants or conversion of the loan are to be subject to a statutory hold period of four months and one day (see Note 19). Lending fee of US$45,000, accrued interest of US$123,142 and extension fee of US$169,895 were added to the principal amount.
On June 24, 2024 the Company further extended the loan facility until December 31, 2025. As consideration, the Company agreed to increase the principal amount of the loan by US $230,117 as an extension fee, increased the interest rate to the default rate of 24% per annum and agreed to a repayment schedule to commence following the first drawdown under the Facility for Energy Inclusion (FEI) loan facility and monthly thereafter starting October 31, 2024. The lender also agreed to subordinate the loan to the FEI.

The Company measured the conversion feature of convertible debentures at FVTPL and the conversion feature was classified as a derivative financial liability for the loan, which was denominated in a currency other than the Company’s functional currency (and therefore its exercise price is not fixed in the Company’s functional currency) and is convertible into a variable number of both common shares and warrants. The embedded derivative did not qualify as an equity instrument due to not meeting the “fixed for fixed” criteria of IAS 32 Financial instruments: Presentation. Therefore, the Company separated the embedded derivative from the host contract and accounted for each element separately. The embedded derivative was initially recognized at its fair value. The amount of change in the fair value of the derivative is presented in profit or loss.

The carrying amount of cash, trade accounts receivable, trade accounts payable, convertible debentures, loans payable approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature.
The most significant financial risks to which the Company is exposed are described below.
Market risk analysis
The Company is exposed to market risk through its use of financial instruments and specifically foreign currency risk which result from its operating and financing activities.
| ■ | Foreign currency risk and foreign currency sensitivity: |
The exposure to currency exchange rate fluctuations arises from the Company’s sales and expenses outside Canada, which are primarily denominated in US dollars.
To mitigate the Company’s exposure to foreign currency risk, non-Canadian cash flows are monitored, but no forward exchange contracts or other derivative financial instruments are entered in.
Market risk analysis
Foreign currency-denominated financial assets and liabilities which expose the Company to currency risk are disclosed below. The amounts shown are those reported by key management. They are exposed to US dollars, XAF, XOF and Ariary and they are translated in Canadian dollars at the closing rate:
| December 31, 2024 | ||||||||
| Profit or loss | ||||||||
| Effects in Canadian dollars | Strengthening $ | Weakening $ | ||||||
| USD (5% movement) | 265,878 | (265,878 | ) | |||||

| Profit or loss | ||||||||
| Effects in Canadian dollars | Strengthening $ | Weakening $ | ||||||
| USD (5% movement) | 179,660 | (179,660 | ) | |||||
| XAF (5% movement) | 63,742 | (63,742 | ) | |||||
| MGA (5% movement) | 35 | (35 | ) | |||||
| XOF (5% movement) | 107 | (108 | ) | |||||
A change in exchange rates of 5% is considered to be reasonably possible based on the observation of current market conditions and the market risk volatility in exchange rates in the previous 12 months. All other things being equal, such a change in exchange rates would have increased or decreased the net loss and deficit by $188,278 for the year ended December 31, 2024 ($256,484 in 2023) based on the Company’s foreign currency financial instruments held at each reporting date.
Credit risk analysis
Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty fails to discharge an obligation to the Company. The Company is exposed to this risk mainly due to trade accounts receivable from its customers. The Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk is limited to the carrying amount of financial assets recognized as at its reporting date.
The Company continuously monitors defaults of customers and incorporates this information into its credit risk controls.
To assess the expected credit losses, trade accounts receivable have been assessed on an individual basis since they originate from specific contracts. There are few contracts, therefore, this gives a more precise assessment than using a calculation matrix and grouping all trade accounts receivable according to certain criteria. Note 6
The Company takes into account economic perspectives of regions served by its clients as well as economic decisions affecting the telecommunication industry in Canada and worldwide. Therefore the Company adjusted the hypothesis of assessment according to expected changes in these factors.
Trade accounts receivable are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Failure to make payments within 120 days from the invoice date and failure to engage with the Company on alternative payment arrangement for instance are considered indicators of no reasonable expectation of recovery.

Credit risk analysis
The Company’s management considers that all of its financial assets that are not impaired or past due are of good credit quality. The amounts analyzed by the length of time past due are the following:
| December 31, 2024 | December 31, 2023 | |||||||
| $ | $ | |||||||
| No more than three months | 447,812 | 3,681,340 | ||||||
| More than three months but no more than six months | 888,589 | 1,142,549 | ||||||
| More than six months but no more than one year | 88,862 | 565,252 | ||||||
| More than one year | 644,665 | 232,721 | ||||||
| 2,069,928 | 5,621,862 | |||||||
The Company held cash and cash equivalents of CAD 1,171,550 at 31 December 2024 (2023: CAD 172,880). The cash and cash equivalents are held with bank and financial institution counterparties, which are rated AA- to AA+, based on rating agency ratings.
The Company is exposed to a credit risk concentration because 92% of its trade accounts receivable are due from three customers (94% from three customers as at December 31, 2023).
Interest rate risk analysis
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of the changes in market interest rates. A sensitivity analysis has determined that one percent change in interest rate have increased or decreased the net loss and deficit by $246,818 for the year ended December 31, 2024 ($79,490 in 2023) based on the Company’s financial instruments held at each reporting date. The Company is exposed to interest rate price risk as all convertible debentures bear interest at a fixed rate for most of the debt instruments.
Liquidity risk analysis
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company might be unable to meet its obligations. The Company manages its liquidity needs by monitoring forecasts of cash inflows and outflows due in day-to-day business. Net cash requirements on day-to-day, week-to-week and 30-day projections are compared to available borrowing facilities in order to determine headroom or any shortfalls. The Company’s current year trade and other payables are in arrears.
The Company considers expected cash flows from financial assets in assessing and managing liquidity risk, in particular its cash resources and trade accounts receivable. The Company’s existing cash resources and its trade accounts receivable are insufficient to cover the current cash outflow requirement and, therefore, the Company is actively exploring possible sources of financing on the market. Cash flows from trade and other receivables are all contractually due within six months.

These amounts reflect the contractual undiscounted cash flows, and therefore may differ from the carrying amounts of the liabilities at the reporting date.
Fair value measurement
Financial assets and financial liabilities measured at amortized cost which fair value is disclosed in the consolidated statements of financial position are grouped into three levels of a fair value hierarchy. The three levels are defined based on the observability of significant inputs to the measurement, as follows:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
| ■ | Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; |
| ■ | Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability |
The derivative liability is considered Level 3.
