CORPORATE OVERVIEW
ARCpoint Inc. ("ARCpoint" or the "Company"), together with its subsidiaries (the "Group"), is a publicly traded health care technology company listed on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol "ARC". The Company operates a technology platform that leverages brick-and-mortar locations to give businesses and individual consumers access to convenient, cost-effective health care information and solutions. The Company also maintains an interest in a U.S.-based franchise system providing drug and alcohol testing, DNA and clinical lab testing, corporate wellness programs, and employment and background screening services.
The Company originally began as ARCpoint Labs in 1998 and was founded by Felix Mirando, as a single location offering drug and alcohol testing to small and medium-sized businesses in Greenville, South Carolina. In 2006, franchise operations were launched and further expanded to a national presence by 2017. In 2017, ARCpoint also began to develop new technology platforms to expand its business into new areas and better enable its franchisees to attract and interact with customers. The pace of this work accelerated significantly as the result of increased revenues in 2020, 2021, and 2022. In turn, ARCpoint expects that its new technology systems will allow the Company to expand its distribution beyond franchisees "brick and mortar" locations and also help franchisees expand business and increase revenues. On August 20, 2024, ARCpoint entered into a transaction with Any Lab Test Now ("ALTN") to bring together the franchise operations of both companies into a new joint venture company, CRESSO Brands LLC. ("CRESSO") The Company maintains a 29.5% ownership in CRESSO Brands LLC ("CRESSO"), a US-based franchise system which offers diagnostic testing and employer solutions.
ARCpoint Group LLC (formerly known as "FJD LLC") ("ARCGL") was formed as a limited liability company under the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act on August 18, 2021.

In October 2022, through a series of transactions that resulted in the reverse takeover of the Company by the members of ARCGL (the "Transaction"), the Company becomes the sole shareholder of ARCGL and the ARCpoint Operating Subsidiaries and changed its name from RSI International Systems Inc. to ARCpoint Inc. The Company received the final approval for the Transaction from TSXV on October 25, 2022.

The Proportionate Voting Shares of the Company ("PVS") are not listed for trading on TSXV but may be converted into TSXV-listed SVS under limited circumstances.
As of the reporting period ended September 30, 2025, the Company owns 100% equity interests of ARCpoint Group LLC, ARCpoint Corporate Labs, AFG Services, ARCpoint Holdings, ARCpoint Finance Corp. ("ARCpoint Finco"). ARCpoint Holdings was formed in July 2019 for the sole purpose of holding the Group's intellectual property, including the ARCpoint Trademarks.

AFG Services was formed in September 2020 to provide support services to ARCpoint Franchisees and other entities. In February 2022, ARCGL acquired a 60% interest in Achieve Behavioral Health Greenville, LLC ("ABH Greenville") expanding its business into providing support services for clinics which provide medication-assisted treatment that treats substance use addictions ("ABH Clinics"). In March 2022, ARCpoint Finco was formed for the sole purpose of completing the Transaction and a non-brokered private placement of subscription receipts conducted concurrently with the Transaction (the "Private Placement"). In August 2022, Total Reporting, LLC, a subsidiary of the Company newly formed under the laws of Delaware acquired certain business assets including the Total Reporting trademarks and other related intellectual property of Total Reporting from BlueLine Services LLC, Total Reporting Franchising LLC and Total Reporting LLC.
On August 20, 2024, the Company completed a transaction with ALTN Holdings LLC to merge the franchise operations of both their subsidiary companies, AFG and Any Test Franchising, LLC ("ALTN"), into a new joint venture company, CRESSO Brands LLC.

Principal Services and Revenues
As a result of its 29.5% interest in CRESSO, the Company maintains substantial exposure to the following services:
-
Diagnostic testing – standard blood tests (including clinical wellness panels such as general wellness and annual panels, fatigue, weight loss, fertility and STDs), drug and alcohol testing, DNA testing, viral testing for such viruses as Flu, Strep and Covid, and testing required for regulatory compliance (primarily directed toward businesses who fall under the U.S. Department of Transportation’s (“DOT”) rigid regulatory federal guidelines).
-
Employer solutions – Onboarding solutions for new employees and ongoing drug free workplace screening, Background checks, DOT physicals, random alcohol and substance testing program management and various other TPA (Third Party Administration) services.
In addition to its ownership stake in CRESSO, the Company provides technology services to CRESSO franchisees and other third-parties:
- Technology Services – ARCpoint provides technology that helps its franchisees and other entities sell and market healthcare services including, but not limited to diagnostic testing, consumer driven and B2B ordered drug testing. ARCpoint’s technology systems also provide interface support with various other healthcare organizations and acts as the operations tool within the franchise system. The technology virtualizes the entire business model allowing for the expansion of the footprint to other entities beyond traditional ARCpoint facilities and enabling franchisees to generate revenue prior to having a brick and mortar facility. ARCpoint technology systems allow for the linking of diagnostic testing services with virtual physicians and other healthcare system constituents, such as independent pharmacies.
The Group utilizes its technology platforms to provide support services to franchisees, third party businesses, affiliates and physicians, including test requisitions, delivery of test results, clinical oversight and review of results, clinical testing education and support, including on-demand email support for clinical questions, clinical education sessions, interactive education and support phone calls and recommendations regarding the tests menu. AFG Services also provides support services to third-party businesses and physicians which include intake and management reviews, physician review of tests, drug and alcohol testing policy development and software services (integrated test ordering and management), compliance support, billing services and group purchasing capabilities.
ARCpoint is continually investigating new ways to deploy its technology systems to drive more business to franchisee locations, as well as generate new revenue streams for itself and expand its distribution network.
BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS
-
The Group generated $0.45 million in revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $4.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease is primarily due to the disposal of AFG, the Company’s former franchise business. Following the transaction, the Group now holds a 29.5% interest in the franchise joint venture, which is accounted for using the equity method. As a result, AFG’s revenues are no longer consolidated into the Group’s financial statements.
-
The Group’s 29.5% interest in CRESSO is recorded as an investment in an associate accounted for using the equity method under IAS 28.

CRESSO TRANSACTION
On August 20, 2024, the Company completed a transaction with ALTN Holdings LLC to merge the franchise operations of both its subsidiary companies, AFG Franchise and Any Test Franchising, LLC ("ALTN"), into a new joint venture company, CRESSO Brands LLC ("CRESSO"). Under the terms of the agreement, both the Company and ALTN have contributed their franchise operations into CRESSO, a Delaware limited liability company. ALTN owns 70.5 per cent of the new entity, with the Company owning the other 29.5 per cent. Both ALTN and AFG brands will remain and be managed on a separate basis. ALTN, based in Atlanta, Ga., was founded in 1992. It currently has more than 235 U.S. franchise locations providing direct access to clinical, DNA, and drug and alcohol lab testing services, as well as phlebotomy and other specimen collection services, through its retail storefront business model. ALTN and the Company have agreed to make MyArcpointLabs technology platform the system's choice for CRESSO brand franchisees. ALTN is an arm's-length party and there are no finders' fees payable in connection with this transaction. The Group's interest in Cresso will be recorded as an investment in associate accounted using the equity method.

(e) Previous to the 'Cresso Transaction' on August 20, 2024, the Group operated a Brand Fund to collect and administer funds contributed for use in advertising and promotional programs designed to increase sales and enhance the reputation of the
Group and its franchisees. The Group reported contributions and expenditures on a gross basis on the Group's statement of profit and loss. Brand Fund contributions are recognized as revenue when invoiced, as the Group has full discretion on how and when the Brand Fund revenues are spent. Brand Fund revenue received may not equal advertising expenditures for the period due to timing of promotions and this difference is recognized to earnings. This adjustment is made to normalize for the timing difference of the Brand Fund revenues and Brand Fund expenditures.
(f) Includes interest and US income tax refunds received in period ended December 31, 2024 and COVID payroll relief funds and a forgiven intercompany loan receivable during the period ended September 30, 2025.

The Company recorded accelerated amortization of the asset of $722,663 during the year ended December 31, 2023.
Results of Operations for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024
The Group incurred a net loss of $507,174 for the three months ended September 30, 2025 (September 30, 2024 – net income of $5,212,944). The most significant revenue streams were:
- Technology services provided by AFG Services were $146,594 but were offset by a revenue reconciliation for base fees from August 2024 to April 2025 of $35,927, resulting in net revenue from technology services of $110,667 (2024 - $145,981). Total Royalties and other of $Nil (2024 - $637,273) and Brand Fund revenues of $Nil (2024 - $59,946) given AFG and Brand Fund were disposed of in August 2024.
- Support and lab services revenue decreased to $3,025 (2024 - $377,071) as a result of the Group's decreased support services provided to franchisees and lab services provided to the public.
The most significant expenses were:
- Support services of $19,053 (2024 - $283,827) decreased due to the decreased need for additional medical testing supplies, as well as clinical software and physician requisition services for franchisees.
- Brand Fund related expenses of $Nil (2024 - $38,537) related to decreased digital marketing and public relation, given Brand Fund was disposed of in August 2024.
- General and administrative expenses of $53,693 (2024: $197,823) related to decreased liability insurance, telephone expenses, office supplies and technology related dues and subscriptions.
- Professional fees of $355,485 (2024 - $401,013) related to decreased legal and consulting fees.
- Salaries and wages of $122,719 (2024 - $635,347) primarily due to a lower number of total employees in 2024.
- Share-based compensation of $64,601 (2024 - $106,564) related to the granting of options, warrants, DSUs and RSUs to officers, directors and employees of the Group
Results of Operations for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024
The Group incurred a net loss of $704,194 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 (June 30, 2024 - $1,399,179). The most significant revenue streams were:
- Technology services provided by AFG Services were $153,734 (2024 - $179,262). Royalties and other of $Nil (2024 - $865,225) and Brand Fund revenues of $Nil (2024 - $148,907) given AFG and Brand Fund were disposed of in August 2024.
- Support and lab services revenue decreased to $6,936 (2024 - $455,092) as a result of the Group's decreased support services provided to franchisees and lab services provided to the public.
The most significant expenses were:
- Support services of $35,694 (2024 - $332,200) decreased due to the decreased need for additional medical testing supplies, as well as clinical software and physician requisition services for franchisees.
- Brand Fund related expenses of $Nil (2024 - $166,624) related to decreased digital marketing and public relations.
- General and administrative expenses of $49,246 (2024: $202,283) related to decreased liability insurance, telephone expenses, office supplies and technology related dues and subscriptions.
- Professional fees of $256,785 (2024 - $523,990) related to decreased legal and consulting fees.
- Salaries and wages of $140,927 (2024 - $1,076,122) primarily due to a lower number of total employees in 2024.
- Share-based compensation of $81,108 (2024 - $28,453) related to the granting of options, warrants, DSUs and RSUs to officers, directors and employees of the Group.
Results of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024
The Group incurred a net loss of $622,780 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 (2024 - $1,504,575). The most significant revenue streams were:
- Technology services provided by AFG Services were $164,478 (2024 - $189,655). Royalties and other of $Nil
(2024 - $866,797) and Brand Fund revenues of $Nil (2024 - $147,298) given AFG and Brand Fund were disposed in August 2024.
- Support and lab services revenue decreased to $12,883 (2024 - $409,593) as a result of the Group's decreased support services provided to franchisees and lab services provided to the public.
The most significant expenses were:
- Support and lab services expenses of $29,988 (2024 - $409,901) due to the decreased demand for additional medical testing supplies, as well as decreased clinical software and physician requisition services for franchisees.
- Commission expenses and Brand Fund related expenses were $Nil and $Nil, respectively (2024 - $207,548 and $268,840), reflecting the change in accounting for the franchise business following its reclassification from a subsidiary to an associate in August 2024. With the Company now holding a 29.5% interest, the investment is accounted for using the equity method, and these expenses are no longer consolidated.
- General and administrative expenses of $129,481 (2024 - $239,826) related to decreased liability insurance, telephone expenses, office supplies and technology related dues and subscriptions.
- Professional fees were $414,978 (2024 - $407,243), remaining relatively consistent year over year. These expenses primarily related to recruitment, tax advisory, and general legal support. The slight increase reflects ongoing business needs and advisory services related to the disposal of ABH Greenville as well as private placement in March 2025.
- Share-based compensation of $110,002 (2024 - $28,866) related to the granting of options, warrants, DSUs and RSUs to officers, directors and employees of the Group.
- Salaries and wages of $215,313 (2024 - $902,497) related to wages provided to a decreased number of management and support staff.
- Travel of $12,632 (2024 - $76,759) related to a decreased total number of employees travelling.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Capital Management
The capital managed by the Group includes unitholders' equity as described in the statements of unitholders' equity. The Group's objectives of capital management are to create long-term value and economic returns for its unitholders. It does this by seeking to maximize the availability of financing to fund the growth and development of its operations, and to support the working capital required to maintain its ability to continue as a going concern. The Group manages its capital structure and adjusts it in the light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of its assets, seeking to limit unitholder dilution and optimize its cost of capital while maintaining an acceptable level of risk. To maintain or adjust its capital structure, the Group considers all sources of finance reasonably available to it, including but not limited to issuance of new capital. The Group is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements. The Group's overall strategy with respect to management of capital at September 30, 2025 remains fundamentally unchanged from the previous periods.
As of September 30, 2025, the Group had approximately $0.13 million cash (December 31, 2024 - $0.1 million). The Group's negative working capital at September 30, 2025 was $8.77 million compared to a negative working capital of $7.82 million at December 31, 2024. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Group had negative cash flows from operating activities of $1.1 million (2024 - $2.5 million). On March 7, 2025, the Group completed a non-brokered private placement by issuing 10,000,000 units for total gross proceeds of $570,397. The net proceeds from this private placement will be used for operational expenses and other general corporate purposes. Management expects that the Group will continue to fund short-term working capital deficiency and further long-term development activities through equity financing, asset sales, cost reductions and available cash.
On September 7, 2021, in connection to the Reorganization, the Group entered into a Membership Interest Redemption Agreement (the "Redemption Agreement") with certain minority membership interest holders of AFG ("Former AFG Securityholders") and issued a two-year, 5% interest per annum promissory note of $2,552,611 to redeem the AFG membership interests held by the Minority AFG Securityholders. In accordance with the terms of the Redemption Agreement, a portion of the redemption price was paid to the Sellers at the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Redemption Agreement, which occurred on September 7, 2021. The Redemption Agreement provides that the remainder of the redemption price is to be paid on or before September 7, 2023, provided that payment of such remainder will be deferred if and to the extent necessary to comply with South Carolina Code Section 33-44-406 ("Section 33-44-406"). Section 33-44-406 generally restricts distributions by a limited liability company to its members if the limited liability company would not be able to pay its debts as they become due in the ordinary course of business or the company's total assets would be less than the sum of its total liabilities. Given the current net losses, the Group has deferred payment until such time the Group is able to make in accordance with Section 33-44-406.
On December 24, 2023, the Company entered into an agreement (the "Debt Settlement Agreement") with a Former AFG Securityholder to restructure $1,061,719 of the note plus accrued and unpaid interest ("the Indebtedness").
10
Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, the Group agreed to issue 1,500,000 Class A SVS at a deemed price of C$0.12 per share to settle $136,098 (C$180,000) of indebtedness on December 29, 2023, and to pay $350,000 of the Indebtedness to the unitholder in 2024. The Group further agreed that the remaining Indebtedness shall bear a simple interest at a rate of 9.66% per annum for a period of two years and shall cease to accrue after the date that is two years from the date of the Agreement.
On August 16, 2024, the Company entered into an amended agreement with Former AFG Securityholders to assign the Outstanding Redemption Amount from AFG to ARCGL and defer the repayment of the Outstanding Redemption Amount until the later of December 28, 2024 and after certain financial metrics are met. Concurrently, the Group modified an agreement with one of the arm's length unitholders of the AFG minority unitholders note payable to restructure the related interest rate from 5% to 10% per annum as of September 7, 2021. As at September 30, 2025, $2,532,368 was outstanding (December 31, 2024 - $2,396,744).
On July 12, 2024, the Company completed a debt settlement agreement with a director of the company to settle an outstanding debt of $110,884 (C$153,565) owed by issuing 1,396,046 SVS at a price of C$0.11 per SVS in full and final satisfaction of the debt.
On July 18, 2024, the Company granted 2,000,000 options to arm's length consultants of the Company. Each option is exercisable to acquire one Class A SVS of the Company at a price of C$0.12 per SVS. The options vest in quarterly installments on the anniversary of the issue date for each of the first two years following the issue date with an expiry date of July 18, 2029.
On July 31, 2024, the Company completed a non-brokered private placement for gross proceeds of C$1,004,175, through the sale of 13,389,000 SVS of the Company at a price of C$0.075 per SVS. In connection with the closing of the private placement, the Company issued 670,900 finder's shares, 1,013,900 finder's warrants, and paid a cash commission of $44,128 (C$60,934) to certain arm's length finders. Each finder's warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one SVS at a price of C$0.075 until July 31, 2026.
On July 31, 2024, the Company extended the expiry date of 5,000,000 warrants from December 31, 2024 to December 31, 2026 (the "Extension"). On December 16, 2021, the Company issued 10,000 warrants (the "ARCpoint Warrants") to ARCGL security holders. Following the completion of the Company's reverse takeover transaction on October 21, 2022, the ARCpoint Warrants were exchanged for the 5,000,000 warrants. Each warrant entitles the holder thereof to acquire a SVS at a price of C$0.16 per SVS.
On September 3, 2024, the Company issued 4,720,000 options to current officers, directors, consultants and employees of the Company. Each option is exercisable to acquire one Class A SVS of the Company at a price of C$0.12 per SVS. Of the 4,720,000 options, 920,000 vest in four equal quarterly installments for the year following the issue date with an expiry date of September 3, 2034. The remaining 3,800,000 options vest in eight equal quarterly installments for each of the two years following the issue date with an expiry date of September 3, 2034.
On March 7, 2025, the Company completed a non-brokered private placement for gross proceeds of C$800,000, through the sale of 10,000,000 SVS of the Company at a price of C$0.08 per SVS. In connection with the closing of the private placement, the Company issued 10,000,000 warrants, 247,150 finder's shares, 536,400 finder's warrants, and paid a cash commission of $17,018 (C$24,458) to certain arm's length finders. Each warrant and finder's warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one SVS at a price of C$0.12 and C$0.08, respectively, until March 7, 2027.
On May 13, 2025, the Company awarded 1,000,000 RSUs to a consultant of the Company pursuant to the Omnibus Plan. Each RSU can be settled for one SVS after such RSU vests on May 13, 2025 until December 29, 2028.
The financial statements have been prepared by management on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assumes that the Group will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its obligations in the normal course of operations. Several adverse conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast doubt on the validity of this assumption. The Group has incurred operating losses to date and is currently unable to self-finance any future operations. The Group's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon raising additional capital, cost reductions or evaluating strategic alternatives.
Management believes the going concern assumption to be appropriate for the financial statements. If the going concern assumption were not appropriate for the financial statements, adjustments may be necessary to the carrying value of assets and liabilities, reported expenses, and the statement of financial position classifications used.

RISK AND UNCERTAINTIES
Economic & Geopolitical Risks
Global financial conditions have, at various times in the past and may, in the future, experience extreme volatility. Many industries, including the health care industry, are impacted by volatile market conditions. Global financial conditions may be subject to sudden and rapid destabilizations in response to economic shocks or other events, such as the continued impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and the hostilities involving Russia and Ukraine. A slowdown in the financial markets or other economic conditions, including adverse changes in consumer spending, employment rates, business conditions, inflation, fluctuations in fuel and energy costs, consumer debt levels, lack of available credit, the state of the financial markets, interest rates and tax rates, may adversely affect the Group's financial condition and prospects. Future economic shocks may be precipitated by a number of causes, including government debt levels, fluctuations in the price of oil and other commodities, the volatility of commodity prices, geopolitical instability, changes in laws or governments, war, terrorism, the volatility of currency exchanges, inflation or deflation, the devaluation and volatility of global stock markets, pandemics and natural disasters. Any sudden or rapid destabilization of global economic conditions could impact the Group's ability to obtain equity or debt financing in the future on terms favourable to the Group or at all. In such an event, the Group's operations and financial condition could be adversely impacted.
Global Economic Conditions
Current global economic conditions could have a negative effect on the Group's business and results of operations. Market disruptions have included extreme volatility in securities prices, as well as diminished liquidity and credit availability. An economic crisis may adversely affect the Group in a variety of ways. Access to credit facilities or the capital markets may be severely restricted, which may preclude the Group from raising funds required for operations and to fund continued expansion. It may be more difficult for the Group to complete strategic transaction with third parties. Financial and credit market turmoil could also negatively impact suppliers, customers and creditors with whom the Group does business.
Such developments could decrease the Group's ability to source, produce and distribute its products or obtain financing and could expose it to risk that one of its suppliers or customers will be unable to meet their obligations under agreements with them. If economic conditions worsen, it is possible these factors could significantly impact the Group's financial conditions.
Going Concern
As of September 30, 2025, the Group had cash of $133,239.
The financial statements have been prepared by management on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assumes that the Group will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its obligations in the normal course of operations. Several adverse conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast doubt on the validity of this assumption. The Group has incurred operating losses to date and is currently unable to self-finance any future operations. The Group's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon raising additional capital, asset sales, cost cutting or evaluating strategic alternatives.
The application of the going concern concept is dependent upon the Group's ability to generate future profitable operations and/or obtain additional equity financing to pay its liabilities and to meet its commitments. The ability of the Group to generate future profitable operations is primarily dependent upon its ability to develop, market and produce new franchisees and profitable products.
The Group has incurred significant operating losses and negative cash flows from operations in recent years and has a working capital deficiency. Whether and when the Group can attain profitability and positive cashflows is uncertain. These uncertainties cast doubt upon the Group's ability to continue as a going concern.
The Group will need to raise capital in order to fund its operations. This need may be adversely impacted by: a lack of normally available financing, accelerating operational expenses, and falling sales per franchisee. To address its financing requirements, the Group will seek financing through debt and equity financings and asset sales, as well as additional cost savings measures. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted at this time.
Key Personnel
The Group is dependent upon the continued availability and commitment of its management, whose contributions to immediate and future operations are of significant importance. The loss of any such management could negatively affect the Group's business operations. From time to time, the Group will also need to identify and retain additional skilled management to efficiently operate its business. Recruiting and retaining qualified personnel is critical to the Group's success and there can be no assurance of its ability to attract and retain such personnel. If it is not successful in attracting and training qualified personnel, the Group's ability to execute its business model and growth strategy could be affected, which could have a material and adverse impact on its profitability, results of operations and financial condition.
Dependence on Management Team
The Group will depend on certain key senior managers to oversee the core marketing, business development, operational and financing activities and who have developed key relationships in the industry. Their loss or departure in the short-term would have an adverse effect on the Group's future performance.
Investors must rely on the judgment, experience, ability and good faith of the Group, and its directors, officers, employees and affiliates and their consultants and advisors and, in part, on their continuing ability to hire and retain knowledgeable personnel in exercising this responsibility. Directors and officers of the Group are not required to devote all of their business time and attention to the Group's business.
Development of New Franchisees
The Group's success will depend, in part, on its ability to develop, introduce and market new franchisees and innovative new products and services these franchisees offer to the public. In the event that there is a shift in consumer demand, the Group must meet such demand through new and innovative products and services. The Group's ability to develop, market and produce new franchisees and products is subject to it having substantial capital. There is no assurance that the Group will be able to develop new and innovative products or have the capital necessary to develop such products.
Need to Manage Growth
The Group could experience rapid growth in revenues, personnel, complexity of administration and in other areas. There can be no assurance that the Group will be able to manage the impact that growth could place on the Group's administrative infrastructure, systems and controls. If the Group is unable to manage future growth effectively, the Group's business, operations and operating results and financial condition may be materially adversely affected.
The Group intends to pursue acquisitions of, and investment in, selected businesses as a core component of its growth strategy. Any future acquisition or investment may result in the use of significant amounts of cash, dilutive issuances of equity securities, or the incurrence of additional indebtedness. The Group cannot assure stakeholders that the Group's acquisitions will be successful and will not adversely affect the Group's business, result of operations or financial condition.
Litigation
The Group may from time to time become party to claims and litigation proceedings, which may include those generally related to contract disputes. Such matters are subject to many uncertainties and the Group cannot predict with any assurances the outcome and ultimate financial impact from any such claims or proceedings. There can be no guarantee that actions that may be brought against the Group in the future will be resolved in its favour or that the insurance the Group carries will be available or paid to cover any litigation exposure. Any losses from settlements or adverse judgments arising out of these claims could be materially adverse to the Group.
Trademark Protection
ARCpoint holds its registered trademarks (the "Marks") through its subsidiary, ARCpoint Holdings. The Group has filed all required affidavits and renewals. There are no effective adverse material determinations of the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board, or the trademark administrator of any state or any court. There are no pending infringement, opposition, or cancellation proceedings.
The Group has granted the franchisees of ARCpoint Franchise Group an exclusive license for the use and sublicense of those Marks pursuant to an interGroup license agreement dated August 12, 2019. The trademark license is perpetual in duration and may be terminated upon a material breach (by engaging in any activity which damages the Marks or
14
the goodwill of the System) not remedied after 30 days' written notice. If the trademark license is terminated, the Group has agreed to license the use of the Marks directly to franchisees until each Franchise Agreement expires or is otherwise terminated.
Smaller Companies
Market perception of junior companies may change, potentially affecting the value of investors' holdings and the ability of the Group to raise further funds through the issue of further SVS or otherwise. The share price of publicly traded smaller companies can be highly volatile. The value of the SVS may go down as well as up and, in particular, the share price may be subject to sudden and large falls in value given the restricted marketability of the SVS.
Partnership Discussions
Although ARCpoint is involved in discussions with potential partners with regard to arrangements that the Company believes may be able to increase its distribution network, the Company can offer no assurances that these discussions will be successful in achieving such a partnership.
Outlook
As the Group continues to expand, the future liquidity of the Group will be affected principally by the level of its operations and by its ability to raise the adequate capital through the capital markets or other means. The Group will be required to raise additional funding in order to meet its long-term business objectives. The Group is aware of the current conditions in the financial markets and has taken significant steps to adapt our business model to reduce capital requirements going forward. The Group will continue to evaluate its funding requirements on a go forward basis in an effort to meet its future development and growth initiatives.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities at amortized cost is determined in accordance with generally accepted pricing models based on discounted cash flow analysis or using prices from observable current market transactions. The Group considers that the carrying amount of its financial assets and financial liabilities, with a short-term maturity and demand nature, and recognized at amortized cost in the financial statements approximates their fair value of these instruments.
- Level 1 fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
- Level 2 fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable either directly or indirectly.
- Level 3 fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs that are not based on observable market data.
The Group's financial assets and liabilities carried at amortized cost are considered Level 2 instruments, because while observable prices and inputs are available, they are not quoted in an active market.
The estimated fair value of the SVS purchase options, warrants, DSUs and RSUs were determined using a Black-Scholes model with Level 3 inputs. Inherent in this model are assumptions related to expected life (term), expected stock price, volatility, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. The Group estimates the volatility of its options, warrants and RSUs based on implied volatility from historical volatility of select peer companies' common shares that matches the expected remaining life of the warrants. The risk-free interest rate is based on the Canadian zero-coupon yield curve on the grant date for a maturity similar to the expected remaining life of the options, warrants and RSUs. The expected life of the options, warrants, DSUs and RSUs is assumed to be equivalent to their remaining contractual term. The dividend rate is based on the historical rate, which the Group anticipates remaining at zero.
Financial Instrument Risk Exposure
The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including price risk, currency risk and interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. These risks arise from the normal course of operations and all transactions are undertaken to support the Group's ability to continue. Risk management is carried out by management under policies approved by the Board of Directors. Management identifies and evaluates the financial risks in co-operation with the Group's operating units. The Group's overall risk management program seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the Group's financial performance, in the context of its general capital management objectives (Note 16 of the financial statements).
a) Credit Risk
The Group's financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk are primarily cash. Credit
15
risk pertaining to cash relates primarily to deposits in banks that, at times, exceed the federally insured limit of $250,000. Management does not believe a significant risk of concentration exists with respect to these balances at September 30, 2025.
b) Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Group constantly monitors its operations and cash flows to ensure that current and future obligations will be met when they are due.
c) Currency 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 Group is exposed to foreign currency risk on fluctuations related to cash and accounts payable and accrued liabilities that are denominated in Canadian dollars ("CAD"). At September 30, 2025, the Group holds cash of C$1,328 (December 31, 2024 - C$24,062) in CAD bank accounts. A 1% change in foreign exchange rates would have an effect of C$18 (December 31, 2024 - C$343) on foreign currency. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company had a foreign exchange loss of $39,260 (2024 - loss of $2,192).
NON-IFRS AND OTHER FINANCIAL MEASURES
The Company reports certain non-IFRS measures in this MD&A that are used to evaluate the performance of the Group's businesses and the performance of their respective segments. Securities regulators require such measures to be clearly defined and reconciled with their most comparable IFRS measures.
As non-IFRS measures generally do not have a standardized meaning, they may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Rather, these are provided as additional information to complement those IFRS measures by providing further understanding of the results of the operations of the Group from management's perspective. Accordingly, these measures should not be considered in isolation, nor as a substitute for analysis of the Group's financial information reported under IFRS. Non-IFRS measures used to analyze the performance of the Group's businesses include "EBITDA" and "Adjusted EBITDA".
The Company believes that these non-IFRS financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding the Group's performances and may be useful to investors because they allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision-making. These financial measures are intended to provide investors with supplemental measures of the Group's operating performance and thus highlight trends in the Group's core businesses that may not otherwise be apparent when solely relying on the IFRS measures. These non-IFRS measures are calculated as follows:
"EBITDA" is comprised as income (loss) less interest, income tax and depreciation and amortization. Management believes that EBITDA is a useful indicator for investors, and is used by management, in evaluating the operating performance of the Group. See "Reconciliation of Net (Loss) / Income to Adjusted EBITDA" for a quantitative reconciliation of EBITDA to the most directly comparable financial measure.
"Adjusted EBITDA" is comprised as income (loss) less interest, income tax, depreciation, amortization, share-based compensation, Brand Fund revenue and expense timing difference, change in fair value of warrant liability, foreign exchange gain (loss) and other income / expenses not attributable to the operations of the Group. Management believes that EBITDA is a useful indicator for investors, and is used by management, in evaluating the operating performance of the Group. See "Reconciliation of Net (Loss) / Income to Adjusted EBITDA" for a quantitative reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable financial measure.
"Gross Income" is comprised as the Group's revenues less cost of sales. Management believes that Gross Income is a useful indicator for investors, and is used by management, in evaluating the operating performance of the Group. See "Selected Financial Information" for a quantitative reconciliation of Gross Income to the most directly comparable financial measure.
This MD&A refers to "Gross Income Margin" which is a non-IFRS ratio. Gross Income Margin is comprised of Gross Income expressed as a percentage of the Group's revenues. Management believes that Gross Income Margin is a useful indicator for investors, and is used by management, in evaluating the operating performance of the Group.
