Revenues

Revenues have increased by 8% during the quarter ended April 30, 2021 compared to the quarter ended April 30, 2020 primarily due to increased revenues from CSC. The Company earned revenues on its agreements with the Provinces of Saskatchewan, Nova Scotia as well as the CSC and SOLGEN. The Company also earned revenues from private bail clients by presenting the release plans for court cases.

	Quarters Ended April 30, 2021 2020 2019	Quarters Ended April 30, 2021 2020 2019
Revenues Leasing, monitoring and activation Bail Interest income Total revenues	$ 592,951 16,392 641	$ 528,209 $ 509,516 30,961 37,123 5,220 4,798
	$ 609,984	$ 564,390 $ 551,437

Monitoring and activation income is recognized pursuant to various lease and rental agreements which specify the terms and conditions of the equipment provided and of the services to be performed. Rental and bail income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the leases. Revenue from the sale of parts which are required to repair and maintain the monitoring equipment is recognized upon delivery to the lessee. Maintenance and monitoring service income is recognized when the services are performed.

The Company recognizes sales, leasing and rental revenue over the term of the applicable operating services agreements. The usual term of service agreements is one to seven years. Generally, customers have the option to renew or cancel the lease. Rental and service agreements upon the expiration of each term, or in certain circumstances, may be cancelled upon specific notice provided to the Company. In situations where agreements are terminated, and the monitoring equipment is rented on a daily basis, it is returned to the Company with no further obligation on behalf of the customer.

The Company commonly experiences variation in Bail/Immigration revenue including but not limited to: seasonal fluctuations, court delays, and immigration policy changes.

Item 6 and 7. Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity

At April 30, 2021, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $1,615,920 and working capital of $1,632,351. All cash and cash equivalents are on deposit with a Schedule I bank in Canada in current or interest accruing accounts.

Management Discussion & Analysis

Working capital components include cash and cash equivalents in current or interest-bearing accounts, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and deposits, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, deferred revenues, income taxes payable and current portion of the lease liability.

Accounts receivable and accounts payable are expected to increase or decrease as sales volumes change. Deferred revenue will fluctuate in relation to the Company’s private bail project. Private bail clients typically pay in advance for one or more months’ monitoring.

The Company continues to monitor expenses, while at the same time is experiencing greater fluctuations in revenues from quarter to quarter. These fluctuations result as more customers move to rental agreements compared to lease agreements. Rental agreements allow Provincial and Federal customers the risk reduction and flexibility to start programs that in some cases would not have happened without the rental component. A combination of a 8% increase in revenues and a 9% increase in expenses resulted in a net income of $95,450 for the quarter ended April 30, 2021 after a tax provision of $31,000, compared to a net income of $86,847 for the quarter ended April 30, 2020 after a tax provision of $35,000.

During its fiscal year ending July 31, 2021, the Company anticipates being profitable excluding expenses that may be incurred in connection with a potential acquisition or business combination and any revenues or expenses resulting from an expansion of the Company’s business or acquisition program.

Except as described, the Company’s management is not aware of any other trends or other expected fluctuations in its liquidity that would create any deficiencies. The Company’s’ management believes that its cash balances will be sufficient to meet the Company’s short-term and long-term requirements for ongoing operations and planned growth.

Capital Requirements and Resources

The Company anticipates that it will have little need to acquire property and equipment over the next year. If the Company is required to purchase additional equipment to service an agreement, the Company would utilize its available cash to finance these capital expenditures.

Item 9. Transactions with Related Parties

There are standard compensation arrangements under which the directors of the Company are compensated for services in their capacity as directors (including any additional amounts payable for committee participation or special assignments). An annual payment of $20,000 (2020 - $10,000) is made to three directors, $25,000 (2020 - $15,000) is made to the Chairman and a fee of $1,000 (2020 - $1,000) is paid per Board meeting attended. In addition to these amounts, the Chair of the Audit Committee is paid an additional $4,000 (2020 - $4,000) per year for the review of interim and annual financial reports. The directors did not receive compensation for services as consultants during the quarters ended April 30, 2021 and 2020.

Management Discussion & Analysis

During the quarter ended April 30, 2021, $35,469 (April 30, 2020 - $13,750) was accrued or paid to the directors of the Company as directors’ fees. At April 30, 2021, $6,986 (July 31, 2020 - $Nil) was due to the directors and was included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

During the quarter ended April 30, 2021, $10,500 (April 30, 2020 - $9,000) was accrued or paid to a Firm where a Partner in the Firm is an officer of the Company. At April 30, 2021, $3,675 (July 31, 2020 - $3,150) was owing to this officer and was included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

These transactions with related parties have been valued in these financial statements at the exchange amount, which is the amount of consideration established and agreed to by the parties. All amounts due to related parties are unsecured, non-interest bearing and have no specific repayment terms.

Item 12. Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expense during the reported periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reference should be made to Note 3 - Significant Accounting Policies - in the notes to the Company’s audited financial statements for the years ended July 31, 2020 and 2019 for more information concerning the accounting principles used in the preparation of the Company’s audited financial statements.

Item 13. Changes in Accounting Policies and Future Accounting Changes

The Company has adopted IFRS 16 Leases effective August 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective method. IFRS 16 introduces new or amended requirements with respect to lease accounting. It introduces significant changes to the lessee accounting by removing the distinction between operating and finance leases and requiring the recognition of a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement for all leases, except for short-term leases and leases of low value assets. In contrast to lessee accounting, the requirements for lessor accounting have remained largely unchanged.

On adoption of IFRS 16, the Company recognized a lease liability (Note 5) in relation to a vehicle lease, which had previously been classified as operating lease under the principles of IAS 17 Lease with a corresponding right-of-use asset for the underlying vehicle. The Company applied the exemption not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases on its office space lease.

Certain pronouncements were issued by the IASB or the IFRIC that are mandatory for accounting periods commencing on or after January 1, 2020. Many are not applicable or do not have a significant impact to the Company and have been excluded. The following standard is not expected to have a material effect on the financial statements of the Company and the Company intends to adopt it when it becomes effective:

IAS 1 – Presentation of Financial Statements (“IAS 1”) was amended in January 2020 to clarify the guidance for the classification of liabilities as current or non-current. It could affect the classification of liabilities, particularly for entities that previously considered management’s intentions to determine classification and for some liabilities that can be converted into equity. The amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022.

Item 14. Financial Instruments and Other Instruments

Details of the Company’s financial instruments, management’s assessment of their related risks and details of management of those risks are as follows:

Financial Risk Management

The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company’s risk management framework. The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents,

Page 7

JEMTEC Inc.

Management Discussion & Analysis

accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities (excluding government service tax liabilities) and lease liability.

The Company maintains cash deposits with financial institutions, which, from time to time, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk from cash. At April 30, 2021, the Company had $1,615,920 in cash balances.

The fair values of the Company’s financial instruments approximate their book values due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

Financial Instruments Risk Exposure

The Company is exposed in varying degrees to a variety of financial instrument related risks. The Board approves and monitors the risk management processes. The Company does not have any asset backed commercial paper.

Credit Risk

The Company’s main exposure to credit risk is on its bank accounts. All cash balances are held in a Canadian Schedule I bank.

Liquidity Risk

The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to settle obligations and liabilities when due. As at April 30, 2021, the Company had cash of $1,615,920 to settle $227,912 in current liabilities, which fall due for payment within twelve months of the statement of financial position.

The Company’s cash is invested in business accounts which are available on demand .

Market Risk

The market risk exposure to which the Company is exposed is interest rate risk. The Company’s bank account earns interest income at variable rates. The Company’s future interest income is exposed to shortterm rate fluctuations. This is not a significant risk to the Company.

Foreign Exchange Risk

As at April 30, 2021, all of the Company’s cash balances were held in Canada in Canadian dollars. As a result, the Company’s exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates on cash is limited.

Item 15. Other Information

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company has controls and procedures in place to provide reasonable assurance that all required disclosure under securities legislation is recorded, processed and reported within the applicable time periods and to ensure that required information is gathered and communicated to management so that decisions about timely disclosure can be made. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures for the quarter ended April 30, 2021 and have found those controls to be adequate for the above purposes. There have been no significant changes in the Company’s disclosure controls or in other factors that could significantly affect disclosure controls subsequent to the date the Company carried out its evaluation.

Internal Controls and Procedures

The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the Company’s internal controls and procedures for the quarter ended April 30, 2021. They have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that all material financial information relating to the Company was made known to them by others within the Company in order for them to complete their analysis and review of the financial position and results of the Company.

This evaluation of the design of internal controls over financial reporting (“ICFR”) for the Company resulted in the identification of internal control deficiencies which are not atypical for a company of this size including lack of segregation of duties due to a limited number of employees dealing with accounting and financial matters and insufficient in-house expertise to deal with complex accounting, reporting and taxation issues. There have been no changes in the Company’s ICFR during the quarter ended April 30, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s ICFR.
