DISCUSSION OF OPERATIONS
Three Months ended December 31, 2024 compared with the Three Months ended December 31, 2023.
The Company's net loss totaled $2,043,614 for the three months ended December 31, 2024, with basic and diluted loss per share of $0.01. This compares with a total net loss of $404,680 with basic and diluted loss per share of $0.00 for the three months ended December 31, 2023, an increase of $1,232,859 in net loss principally due to an increase in professional and consulting, wages, marketing expenses and software development and website costs.
LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL POSITION
The activities of the Company were financed through equity transactions such as equity offerings.
There is no assurance that the Company's business will result in profitable future operations. The business is subject to risk, market conditions, supply and demand, and competition. The Company relies on financing and the cash currently available to meet its administrative overhead and maintain its assets. The recoverability of the amounts shown in assets is dependent on several factors. These factors include the ability of the Company to obtain financing to complete the planned growth, reduction of operating expenses, and future cashflow from the Company's business.
However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to continue to raise funds in the future in which case the Company may be unable to meet its obligations. Should the Company be unable to realize on its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business, the net realizable value of its assets may be materially less than the amounts recorded on the statement of financial position.
Current liabilities increased to $6,033,318 at December 31, 2024, compared to $3,709,428 at June 30, 2024; the increase of $2,323,890 was primarily due to increases in Advanced subscription to SAFE notes and SAFE notes accretion, slightly offset by decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.
The Company had cash of $1,968,207 (June 30, 2024 - $57,464) to satisfy current liabilities of $6,033,318 (June 30, 2023 - $3,709,428). As of September 30, 2024, all the cash balance of $1,968,207 (June 30, 2024 - $57,464) is held by entities with continuing operations.
There is currently a deficit in the working capital as there is not sufficient cash to be able to meet the current liabilities that the entity holds. To be able to settle liabilities, management expects to receive sufficient capital from the exercise of the outstanding warrants listed below.
As of December 31, 2024, the Company had 133,847,758 (June 30, 2024 - 110,797,758) common shares issued, 39,565,337 (June 30, 2024 - 34,465,337) warrants granted and outstanding, 13,025,000 (June 30, 2024 - 7,550,000) options granted and outstanding, and 3,720,000 (June 30, 2024 - 2,520,000) RSU granted and outstanding.

Operating activities were affected by the non-cash transactions amounting to $2,730,464 from continuing operations and $Nil from discontinued operations.
The net decrease of non-cash working capital of $373,259 from continuing operations is mainly due to a decrease in prepaid expenses of $427,934 and a decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $79,272, slightly offset by proceeds from deferred revenue of $25,000.
Cash received from financing activities from continuing operations and discontinued operations were $2,635,703 and $Nil for the six months ended December 31, 2024 (June 30, 2024 - $2,488,029 and $102,606). The financing activities were primarily affected by the issuance of shares and proceeds of SAFE notes amounting to $2,075,000 and $576,744, slightly offset by loan repayment of $16,040.

The investing activity was primarily affected by the conversion of crypto assets to cash amounting to $1,636,411.

On December 31, 2024, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $3,821,843 (June 30, 2024 - working capital of $3,250,907) and an accumulated deficit of $28,329,486 (June 30, 2024 - $25,117,247).
The ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to fund working capital is uncertain. The ability of the Company to generate sales revenue to offset the expenses and maintain profitability is uncertain. These material uncertainties cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company will require additional financing from time to time, which it intends to obtain through the exercise of warrants and the issue of new shares. While the Company has been successful in raising equity financing through the issuances of common shares in the past, there is no assurance that it will be able to obtain adequate financing in the future or that such financing will be available on acceptable terms.

Credit Risk, Foreign Exchange Risk, Liquidity Risk
Financial instruments that could expose the Company to credit risk are primarily cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company has deposited its cash in financial institutions with a good reputation, and management considers the risk of losses to be negligible.
The Company is exposed to currency risk as the Company has transactions through its subsidiaries operating in Great British pounds (GBP). The Canadian dollar equivalent value of all cash held in foreign denominated currencies as at December 31, 2024 is $73,965 (June 30, 2024 - $25,046). Based upon the net exposure as at December 31, 2024, a 12% depreciation or appreciation of the Great British pounds relative to the Canadian dollar would result in approximately $8,876 (June 30, 2024 - $3,006) change in the Company's consolidated net loss and comprehensive loss. To date, funds have been raised in Canadian currency (CAD) while expenses were largely in British Pounds (GBP). The Company continues to operate primarily in CAD at the holding level. However, the Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk on a portion of its accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and GBP bank account. Management is actively hedging a portion of that exposure to mitigate this.
The Company is exposed to liquidity risk. Liquidity risk is the exposure of the Company to the risk of not being able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. The Company's approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities when due. The Company's future liquidity is dependent on factors such as the ability to generate cash from operations and to raise money through debt or equity financing.
As at December 31, 2024 the Company had cash from continuing operations of $1,968,207 (June 30, 2024 - $57,464) and cash from discontinued operations of $Nil (June 30, 2024 - $Nil) to satisfy current liabilities of $6,033,318 (June 30, 2024 - $3,709,428).
Financial instruments that could expose the Company to credit risk are primarily cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company has deposited its cash in financial institutions with a good reputation, and management considers the risk of losses to be negligible. Cash consists of client deposits and accounts receivable consist of value added tax and management believes that the credit risk concentration with respect these items is remote.
Management
The success of the Company is currently largely dependent on the performance of its management. Shareholders will be relying on the good faith, experience and judgment of the Company's management and advisers in supervising and providing for the effective management of the Company's business. The loss of the services of these persons could have a materially adverse effect on the Company's business and prospects. There is no assurance the Company can maintain the services of its management or other qualified personnel required to operate its business. Failure to do so could have a materially adverse effect on the Company and its prospects.
The Company has not purchased "key-man" insurance, nor has it entered into non-competition and non-disclosure agreements with management and has no current plans to do so.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
As of December 31, 2024, there are no relevant changes in accounting standards applicable to future periods other than as disclosed in the most recent audited financial statements as at and for the year ended June 30, 2024.
The determination as to the existence and measurement of any impairment requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions, which includes estimated future cash flows, discount rates and estimated useful life. These significant estimates and judgments could impact the Company's future results if the current estimates of future performance and fair value change. This could affect the amount of amortization expense and any impairment charges on intangible assets in future periods.
