As presented in Note 1 to our financial statements, a "going concern" note is a requirement of CPA auditors to cover their potential exposure to professional disclosure liabilities and highlight the financial risks that exist for the Company. The Company is responsible for preparing financial statements in accordance with IFRS, and the requirement to present a "going concern" note in certain situations arises from IFRS. We continue to operate efficiently and have focused on activities with the greatest certainty of cash generation so that we can maintain viable operations.
To finance its operations, the Company relies on receipts from accounts receivable, future contracts for major license sales and professional services related to these licenses and on-going projects. There is a risk that the company will not be able to obtain the funds necessary to meet its obligations.
The liquidity shortfalls were covered during the 3-month financial period ended May 31, 2025, by the support of suppliers, creditors and government authorities who tolerated late payments. These situations indicate the existence of significant uncertainties that could cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue its operations.
The company believes that, given the funds available, and with an operating profit before the generation of non-cash items, as well as the signature of contracts resulting from the initiatives in progress, will allow it to recruit the additional personnel necessary for its expansion, and thus its financial obligations as they become due.

Risks and uncertainties
The main uncertainty relates to the length of the sales cycle in the market sectors where the Company has thus far concentrated the bulk of its efforts.
Several factors could impact actual results and cause them to be different from expected results. These factors include the Company's ability to develop new markets and partnerships and its dependence on a limited number of customers.
Alphinat has limited financial resources and could require additional cash resources that may not be available or be available under conditions deemed unacceptable to the Company.
The significant value of Alphinat's internet tools and solutions could draw attention from players who can deploy considerable means to develop competing products, which would affect Alphinat's business potential.
The Company uses and intends to continue to use various measures such as copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets legislation, confidentiality agreements and other contractual terms in order to establish, to maintain and to protect its intellectual property rights. Unauthorized parties could attempt to copy certain of the Company's products or portions of its products or to obtain what is considered as proprietary information. With increased competition, there is a greater risk that other companies will attempt to produce new substitute products or technologies.
Revenue recognition
Professional service revenues are recognized according to the percentage-of-completion method. Work in progress is established by taking into account services rendered that have not yet been invoiced. Any payment received before services are rendered is recorded as deferred revenue.
Fees from software products, after-sales technical support and other services are normally allocated among the various elements based on vendor-specific evidence of the fair value of each element and the Company recognizes the revenue for each element when revenue recognition criteria are met. To determine the fair value of each element, the Company uses the requested price for an element when it is sold separately and any other information considered to be relevant.
ALPHINAT
Revenues from software licenses are recognized when there is persuasive evidence of a valid arrangement, the software product has been delivered and accepted from the client and no significant obligations from the Company remain. The after-sales technical support is recognized on a straight-line basis over the contractual service period and revenues from other services are recognized as the services are rendered.
Stock option agreements
The Company provides stock option and stock-based compensation plan that is described in note 11 to the financial statements.
Continuous disclosure process and disclosure controls
The Company files its financial statements, management discussions and analyses, press releases and other required documents in the SEDAR database at www.sedar.com.
The Company's shares are listed on the TSX Venture Exchange under stock symbol NPA.H:NEX.
The Company issued its code of ethics that was sent to all employees by the Chief Executive Officer. The company instructs all employees invited to contact the audit committee directly if they are aware of information that could potentially impact the Company's financial statements.
Given Alphinat's current size, it is difficult to ensure segregation of all management duties. However, the Chief Executive Officer's direct involvement in the business on a daily basis compensates for this weakness, as he is able to exercise more effective oversight than in a larger entity as well as by the having a chief financial officer to oversee all financial reporting.
Outlook
Governments worldwide are increasingly integrating AI into digital services to enhance efficiency, personalize citizen experiences, and drive smarter, data-informed policymaking. SmartGuide with LIVEaiASSIST makes this process easier and less costly than other competing and less flexible solutions.
The Company's SmartGuide® solutions suite is the result of years of experience with customers who also see the need to customize access to their data and processes based on users' needs and situation regardless of where the computer systems were located. This capability is crucial for making it easier for citizens and businesses to deal with the governments, and large institutions whose operations lead to many complex procedures. The Company is actively working to build on this added value and to establish an integrated support, training and service delivery plan for its software solution.
There is a strong potential for Alphinat's "turnkey" solution in the public and private sector markets. Indeed, in most large institutions with the number of retirements anticipated over the coming decade, the increasing number of procedures, their increasing complexity, and the reduction of operating budgets, require an improvement in the public and private sector's productivity while users press for a radical simplification of the administrative burden.
