Three and six months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025
(Expressed in Canadian dollars)
1. Corporate information
DEFSEC Technologies Inc. (the "Company", "DEFSEC") was incorporated on November 28, 2017, under the laws of the Province of British Columbia. The registered office is located at 550 Burrard Street, Suite 2900, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, and the corporate office is located at Suite 300, 80 Hines Rd., Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.
The Company develops and commercializes next-generation technology solutions that deliver a tactical advantage for military, public safety agencies and personal defense markets. The Company's core mission is to protect and save lives.
DEFSEC's common stock is listed on the TSX-Venture Exchange ("TSX-V") under the stock symbol of DFSC, on the Nasdaq Capital Market ("Nasdaq") under the stock symbol of DFSC and on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the stock symbol of 62U2. Additionally, warrants issued in the United States are also listed on the Nasdaq under the stock symbol of DFSCW. Effective May 1, 2023, the warrants issued in Canada are listed on the TSX-V under the stock symbol of DFSC.WT.U.
(a) 2025 Reverse Stock Split (applied retrospectively)
On April 23, 2025, on Nasdaq, and on April 24, 2025, on the TSX-V, DEFSEC effected 21-for-1 reverse stock split of its common stock (the "2025 Reverse Split"). Accordingly, all shareholders of record at the opening of business on April 23, 2025, received one issued and outstanding common share of DEFSEC in exchange for twenty-one outstanding common shares of DEFSEC. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the 2025 Reverse Split. All fractional shares created by the 2025 Reverse Split were rounded to the nearest whole number of common shares, with any fractional interest representing 0.5 or more common shares entitling holders thereof to receive one whole common share.
Effective on the date of the 2025 Reverse Split, the exercise price and number of common shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants were proportionately adjusted to reflect the 2025 Reverse Split. All information respecting outstanding common shares, including net loss per share, in the current and comparative periods presented herein give effect to the 2025 Reverse Split.

2. Basis of preparation
(a) Going concern
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern. The going concern basis of presentation assumes we will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and can realize our assets and discharge our liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.
As an early-stage company, it has not yet reached significant revenue levels for most of its products and has incurred significant losses and negative operating cash flows from inception that have primarily been funded from financing activities. The Company has incurred a $4.1 million net loss and negative operating cash flows of $4.9 million in the six month period ended March 31, 2026 (2025 – $4.9 million net loss and negative operating cash flows of $4.8 million). At March 31, 2026, the Company had $3.6 million in working capital (September 30, 2025 – $6.0 million) and $56.4 million in accumulated deficit (September 30, 2025 – $52.3 million).
The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business is dependent upon closing timely additional sales orders, timely commercial launch of new products, and the ability to raise additional debt or equity financing, when required. There are various risks and uncertainties affecting our future financial position and our performance including, but not limited to:
- The market acceptance and rate of sales of the Company’s product offerings;
- The Company's ability to grow its digitization services business;
- Ability to successfully execute the Company’s business plan;
- Ability to raise additional capital at acceptable terms;
- General local and global economic conditions, including the ongoing conflict in Gaza and the global disruptions from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the United States Conflict with Iran; and
- Risks related to United States tariffs, including potential supply chain disruptions, required operational adjustments, increased costs and potential logistical disruptions.
The Company’s strategy to mitigate these material risks and uncertainties is to execute a business plan, in a timely manner, aimed at continued focus on revenue growth, product development and innovation, improving overall gross profit, managing operating expenses and working capital requirements, and securing additional capital, as needed.
Failure to implement its business plan could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and/or financial performance. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to raise additional capital as required in the future. Accordingly, there are material risks and uncertainties that may cast substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include any adjustments to the carrying amounts and classification of assets, liabilities and reported expenses that may otherwise be required if the going concern basis was not appropriate.
(b) Statement of compliance
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting, (“IAS 34”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and the interpretations of the IFRS Interpretations Committee. They do not include all the information required for a complete set of financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS® Accounting Standards (“IFRS”) and should be read in conjunction with our Annual Audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the years ended September 30, 2025, 2024 and 2023 (the “Annual Financial Statements”). However, selected explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are material to an understanding of the changes in our financial position and performance since the last Annual Financial Statements.
DEFSEC TECHNOLOGIES INC.
Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
Three and six months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025
(Expressed in Canadian dollars)
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on May 13, 2026.
(c) Basis of consolidation
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements incorporate the financial statements of DEFSEC and the entities it controls.
Control is achieved where we have the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities, are exposed to, or have rights to, variable returns from our involvement with the entity and have the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to us until the date on which control ceases. Profit or loss of subsidiaries acquired during the period are recognized from the date of acquisition or effective date of disposal as applicable. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
At March 31, 2026, the Company has the following wholly-owned subsidiaries, which is unchanged from September 30, 2025:
| Entity | Location | Functional Currency | Equity % |
|---|---|---|---|
| KWESST Inc. | Ottawa, Canada | CAD | 100% |
| 2720178 Ontario Inc. | Ottawa, Canada | CAD | 100% |
| Police Ordnance Company Inc. | Ottawa, Canada | CAD | 100% |
| KWESST U.S. Holdings Inc. | Delaware, United States | USD | 100% |
| KWESST Defense Systems U.S. Inc | North Carolina, United States | USD | 100% |
| KWESST Public Safety Systems U.S. Inc. | North Carolina, United States | USD | 100% |
| KWESST Public Safety Systems Canada Inc. | Ottawa, Canada | CAD | 100% |
(d) Functional and presentation currency
The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars ("CAD"), which is the functional and presentation currency.
While each of the Company's subsidiaries has its own functional currency, the functional currency of the parent company, DEFSEC, is CAD as this is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates. Most of the revenues, cost of sales and operating expenses from significant subsidiaries are denominated in CAD. The Company's Canadian wholly owned subsidiaries are measured using CAD as the functional currency and its U.S. wholly owned subsidiaries are measured using the United States dollar ("USD") as their functional currency.
(e) Basis of measurement
The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments measured at fair value. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets.
(f) Use of estimates and judgments
The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates, and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income, expenses, and disclosure of contingent liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
DEFSEC TECHNOLOGIES INC.
Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
Three and six months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025
(Expressed in Canadian dollars)
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to estimates are recognized prospectively.
Judgments
Information about judgments made in applying accounting policies that have the most material effects on the amounts recognized in these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements are the same as disclosed in Note 2(f) of the Annual Financial Statements.
Estimates
Information about assumptions and estimation uncertainties at March 31, 2026 that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the next financial year are the same as disclosed in Note 2(f) of the Annual Financial Statements.
(g) Changes to standards and interpretations
IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements
The IASB issued IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements on April 9, 2024, to replace IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements and is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027. IFRS 18 introduces a defined structure for the presentation of the statement of income, including required totals and subtotals, as well as aggregating and disaggregating principles to categorize financial information. The standard also requires all Management-defined performance measures to be disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this new standard.
3. Material accounting policies
During the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2026, the accounting policies in these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements are the same as those applied in the Annual Financial Statements.
4. Inventories
The following table presents a breakdown of inventories:
| March 31, 2026 | September 30, 2025 | |
|---|---|---|
| Finished goods | $ 29,277 | $ 34,463 |
| Work-in-progress | 28,685 | 29,414 |
| Raw materials | 456,450 | 455,732 |
| Total | $ 514,412 | $ 519,609 |
At March 31, 2026, a total of $0.2 million (2025 – $0.1 million) of inventory was included in profit or loss as an expense as part of cost of sales.

For the six months ended March 31, 2026, there were no material changes to our financial risks as disclosed in Note 22 of the Annual Financial Statements, except for the following:
Foreign currency risk
A portion of the Company's revenue and operating costs are realized in currencies other than its functional currency, primarily USD. The Company has entered into financing transactions in the past that were denominated in USD or allowed for the settlement in USD. As a result, the Company is exposed to currency risk on these transactions. Further, additional earnings volatility arises from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the rate of exchange on each date of the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Statements of Financial Position; the impact of which is reported as a foreign exchange gain or loss on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Statements of Net Loss and Comprehensive Loss. The Company's objective in managing currency risk is to minimize the exposure to currencies other than our functional currency. The Company does so by matching foreign denominated assets with foreign denominated liabilities where possible. Currently, we do not use derivative instruments to hedge the U.S. dollar exposure.

At March 31, 2026, we had $3.0 million in cash and $3.6 million in working capital (current assets less current liabilities).
In the second quarter of Fiscal 2026 the Company confirmed with the counter party that the minimum royalty under the LEC agreement are owed on the anniversary of the effective date of that agreement, being January 15th of each year, and shall be paid no later than 45 days after that date.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to DEFSEC if a counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company's credit risk exposure is limited to cash, and trade and other receivables. The Company enters into contracts with either large, financially sound global general contractors or law enforcement agencies, which mitigates the credit risk.
As described in Note 2(h) of the Annual Financial Statements, the Company has applied the simplified approach to recognize the lifetime expected credit losses. After assessing the quality of the receivables, management has concluded that the expected credit loss on all outstanding receivables is $nil. Accordingly, no loss allowance has been recognized at the reporting date (2025: $nil).

15. Commitments and contingencies
The Company, under its LC4ISR Sub-Tier Subcontract, shall meet certain Industrial and Technological Benefits (“ITBs”) targets as a condition for fulfilling the obligations in the contract. Such requirements are part of Canada’s effort to promote economic development and increased competitiveness of the defence sector and develop, grow and sustain a diverse, talented, and innovative Canadian workforce. Under the obligations, DEFSEC will spend 100% of the contract-value as Supplier Development in Canada, specifically involving Small and Medium Business (employing fewer than 250 full-time personnel), and spend 20% of the contract value as transactions involving Skills Development and Training in the areas of Defence Systems Integration, Artificial Intelligence, Cyber Resilience, or In-Service Support. As all work under the contract is being executed in Canada by the Company, 100% of the Small and Medium Business requirement is expected to be met. Achievement of the Company’s Skills Development and Training requirement is expected to be met by transactions related to Senior Integrated Logistics Support Specialist (“ILS”) related roles filled under its taskings, as these have been deemed by Canada to be eligible, and DEFSEC currently has seven (7) such roles of its total 25 under current taskings. While these roles are expected to fulfill the Company’s obligations over the achievement period, any penalty by way of liquidated damages, is limited in its financial impact to a maximum of 20% of the shortfall (up to 4% of total contract value). Further mitigating any potential shortfall is the ability to achieve a five (5) times multiplier for any contribution to Skills Development and Training for Indigenous Peoples or majority Indigenous-controlled educational or training facilities. Based on the billings to date, the Company may have an ITB obligation of $558,000 with a maximum penalty of $112,000. Management believes it will meet the required targets within the specified timeframes. Accordingly, no liability has been recorded in these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements related to this commitment.
