Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Interim Financial Statements

For the Three and Nine Months ended December 31, 2024, and 2023

(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

  1. Nature of Operations and Going Concern

NextGen Digital Platforms Inc. (CSE: NXT, FSE: Z12) (“NextGen” or the “Company”) is a Canadian technology company existing under the laws of British Columbia. On October 21, 2022, the Company changed its name from 1266457 B.C. Ltd. to NextGen Digital Platforms Inc. The Company’s registered office address is Suite 2200, RBC Place, 885 West Georgia St., Vancouver, British Columbia, V6C 3E8. The Company’s head office is located at 70 Trius Drive, Second Floor, Fredericton, New Brunswick, E3B 5E3.

The Company has a dual focus on digital assets and artificial intelligence infrastructure. The Company is committed to democratizing access to cryptocurrencies by providing investors with exposure to a diversified basket of digital assets through a regulated public vehicle, offering a seamless entry into the growing cryptocurrency market. In parallel, the Company operates a hardware-as-a-service business supporting the artificial intelligence sector, known as cloud AI hosting (“Cloud AI Hosting”), delivering advanced infrastructure solutions for AI-driven applications.

The Company’s first business was PCSections.com (the “Website”), an e-commerce and consumer electronics platform facilitating direct -to-consumer sales, offering premium gaming electronics and other specialized hardware. Recently, the Company has been focusing its efforts on developing a line of business referred to as Cloud AI Hosting (“Cloud AI Hosting”), a hardware-as-a-service business whereby the computing power of NextGen’s specialized hardware workstations are leased to third-party end users for artificial intelligence applications, via a cloud-based portal. From time to time, the Company may also evaluate and acquire or develop other micro-technology platforms.

These unaudited condensed interim financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of operations. The application of the going concern basis is dependent upon the Company achieving profitable operations to generate sufficient cash flows to fund continuing operations, or, in the absence of adequate cash flows from operations, obtaining additional financing to support operations for the foreseeable future. During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024, the Company incurred a comprehensive loss of $387,411 and $520,826, respectively (December 31, 2023 – $27,273 and $71,529, respectively), and as of that date, the Company’s accumulated deficit was $736,156 (March 31, 2024 – $215,330). It is not possible to predict whether financing efforts will continue to be successful in the future or if the Company will attain profitable levels of operations. These conditions represent material uncertainties which may cast doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

These unaudited condensed interim financial statements do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and therefore be required to realize its assets and liquidate its liabilities and commitments in other than the normal course of business and at amounts different from those in the accompanying financial statements. Such adjustments could be material.

  1. Basis of Presentation

(a) Statement of Compliance

These unaudited condensed interim financial statements, including comparatives, have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”), and interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”). These unaudited condensed interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standards 34 – Interim Financial Reporting (“IAS 34”).

These unaudited condensed interim financial statements were reviewed, approved, and authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors (the “Directors”) of the Company on February 27, 2025.

(b) Basis of Measurement

These unaudited condensed interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS, on the historical cost basis except for financial instruments which are measured at fair value. In addition, these unaudited condensed interim financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information.

(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

2. Basis of Presentation (continued)

(c) Functional Currency

These unaudited condensed interim financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the functional currency of the Company, unless otherwise noted. The functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates.

(d) Significant Accounting Judgments and Estimates

The preparation of these unaudited condensed interim financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its judgments and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. Management uses historical experience and various other factors it believes to be reasonable under the given circumstances as the basis for its judgments and estimates. Actual outcomes may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions. These estimates are reviewed periodically, and adjustments are made as appropriate in the period they become known.

Items for which actual results may differ materially from these estimates are described as follows:

Going concern

At each reporting period, management exercises judgment in assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern by reviewing the Company’s performance, resources and future obligations. The conclusion that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern is subject to critical judgments of management with respect to assumptions surrounding the short- and long-term operating budgets, expected profitability, investment and financing activities and management’s strategic planning. The assumptions used in management’s going concern assessment are derived from actual operating results along with industry and market trends. Management believes there is sufficient capital to meet the Company’s business obligations for at least the next 12 months, after taking into account expected cash flows, capital commitments, and the cash position at period-end.

Fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities

Fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities on the statements of financial position that cannot be derived from active markets, are determined using a variety of techniques including the use of valuation models. The inputs to these models are derived from observable market data where possible, but where observable market data are not available, judgment is required to establish fair values. The judgments include, but are not limited to, consideration of model inputs such as volatility, estimated life and discount rates.

Impairment

Long-lived assets, including property and equipment and intangible assets, are reviewed for indicators of impairment at each reporting period or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is defined as the higher of: (i) value-in-use; or (ii) fair value less cost to sell. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment charge is recognized immediately in profit or loss by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the recoverable amount. Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the lesser of the revised estimate of recoverable amount, and the carrying amount that would have been recorded had no impairment loss been recognized previously.

Income taxes

Income taxes and tax exposures recognized in the financial statements reflect management’s best estimate of the outcome based on facts known at the reporting date. When the Company anticipates a future income tax payment based on its estimates, it recognizes a liability. The difference between the expected amount and the final tax outcome has an impact on current and deferred taxes when the Company becomes aware of this difference.

In addition, when the Company incurs losses that cannot be associated with current or past profits, it assesses the probability of taxable profits being available in the future based on its budgeted forecasts. These forecasts are adjusted to take account of certain non-taxable income and expenses and specific rules on the use of unused credits and tax losses.

(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

2. Basis of Presentation (continued)

(d) Significant Accounting Judgments and Estimates (continued)

When the forecasts indicate the sufficient future taxable income will be available to deduct the temporary differences, a deferred tax asset is recognized for all deductible temporary differences.

Expected credit losses on financial assets

Determining an allowance for expected credit losses (“ECL”) for amounts receivable and all debt financial assets not held at fair value through profit and loss (“FVTPL”) requires management to make assumptions about the historical patterns for the probability of default, the timing of collection and the amount of incurred credit losses, which are adjusted based on management’s judgment about whether economic conditions and credit terms are such that actual losses may be higher or lower than what the historical patterns suggest.

Provisions

The Company recognizes provisions if there is a present obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that the Company will be required to settle the obligation and the obligation can be reliably estimated. The amount recognized as a provision reflects management’s best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the reporting date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation.

Research and development costs

Judgment is required to distinguish the research phase and the development phase to correctly identify costs that qualify for capitalization.

Options and warrants

Options and warrants, including finders’ warrants, are initially recognized at fair value using market-based valuation techniques. The fair value of the market-based and performance-based share awards are determined at the date of grant using generally accepted valuation techniques. Assumptions are made and judgments are used in applying the valuation techniques. These assumptions and judgments include the expected volatility of the share price, expected forfeitures, expected dividend yield, expected term of the warrants or options, and expected risk-free interest rate. Such assumptions and judgments are inherently uncertain. Changes in these assumptions can affect the fair value estimates of stock-based compensation.

3. Summary of Material Accounting Policies

The accounting policies applied by the Company in these unaudited condensed interim financial statements are the same as those disclosed in Note 3 the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2024, unless otherwise noted below.

a) Share-Based Payments Transactions

The Company operates a stock option plan (the “Option Plan”). Share-based payments to employees are measured at the fair value of the instruments issued and amortized over the vesting periods. Share-based payments to non-employees are measured at the fair value of goods or services received, or at the fair value of the equity instruments issued, if it is determined the fair value of the goods or services cannot be reliably measured and are recorded at the date the goods or services are received. The fair value of options is determined based on the application of the Black-Scholes valuation model (“Black-Scholes”). The fair value of equity-settled stock-based compensation transactions is recognized as an expense with a corresponding increase in the share-based payments reserve.

If share-settled awards are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognized as if the modification has not been made. An additional expense is recognized, over the remaining vesting period, for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based compensation benefit as at the date of modification.

Amounts recorded for cancelled or expired unexercised options are transferred to accumulated deficit in the period of which the cancellation or expiry occurs.

(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

3. Summary of Material Accounting Policies (continued)

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Effective April 1, 2024, the Company adopted the following amendments and had assessed that their adoption had no material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements - Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current

In January 2020 and October 2022, the IASB issued amendments to clarify the requirements for classifying liabilities as current or non-current. The amendments specify that the conditions that exist at the end of a reporting period are those that will be used to determine if a right to defer settlement of a liability exists. The amendments also clarify the situations that are considered a settlement of a liability. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024, and were applied retrospectively.

4. Short-Term Investments

The Company's had invested $125,000 in certain guaranteed investment certificates ("GICs") which matured in October 2024. For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024, interest income of $238 and $3,156 (2023 - $nil) has been accrued on the GIC and were included in bank charges and interest on the unaudited condensed interim statements of loss and comprehensive loss. The balance of accrued interest income from GICs as at December 31, 2024 is $nil (March 31, 2024 - $2,628).

5. Other Receivables

The Company's other receivables balance represents amounts due from government taxation authorities in respect of the Goods and Services Tax and Harmonized Sales Tax. The Company anticipates full recovery of these amounts and therefore no ECL has been recorded against those receivables, which are due in less than one year.

6. Property and Equipment

The Company's property and equipment is comprised of two desktop workstations used by Cloud AI Hosting, one of which was purchased in December 2023 for $3,199 and the other in December 2024 for $4,899. During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024, depreciation of $485 and $1,285, respectively, had been recorded on the equipment and was included in Cost of Sales (2023 - $99) on the unaudited condensed interim statements of loss and comprehensive loss. As of December 31, 2024, the equipment was carried at a net book value of $6,314 (March 31, 2024 - $2,700).

7. Intangible Assets

During the year ended March 31, 2023, the Company developed the Website using different external developers to facilitate sales on the internet, and incurred costs of $23,162 in relation to the Website. As the Website is considered to have an indefinite life, it is not subject to amortization.

As at December 31, 2024, the Company reviewed the Website for indicators of impairment. No indicator for impairment was identified, as the Website is currently undergoing enhancements, and no impairment loss was recorded on the intangible assets.

8. Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities

Accounts payable and accrued liabilities of the Company are principally comprised of amounts outstanding for trade purchases incurred in the normal course of business.

The management of the Company monitors its capital structure and makes adjustments according to market conditions to meet its objectives given the current outlook of the business and industry in general.

The Company’s capital management objectives, policies and processes have remained unchanged since the Company’s most recent financial reporting period.

The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.

16. Risk Management

The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash and accounts payable. The Company is exposed to various risks as it relates to these financial instruments. Management, under oversight of the Board, mitigates these risks by assessing and monitoring the Company’s risk management processes. There have not been any changes in the nature of these risks or the process of managing these risks from the previous reporting periods.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of potential loss associated with a counterparty’s inability to fulfill its payment obligations. The Company’s credit risk is primarily attributable to cash and short-term investments. Cash and short-term investments are held with a reputable Canadian chartered bank and are closely monitored by management. Management believes that the credit risk concentration with respect to financial instruments included in cash is minimal.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not have sufficient cash resources to meet its financial obligations as they come due. The Company manages its liquidity risk by reviewing its capital requirements on an ongoing basis. The Company’s liquidity and operating results may be adversely affected if the Company’s access to the capital market is hindered, whether as a result of a downturn in market conditions generally or related to matters specific to the Company. The Company generates cash flow primarily from its financing activities. As at December 31, 2024 the Company had a cash balance of $110,787 (March 31, 2024 – $247,677) and short-term investments of $nil (March 31, 2024 – $127,628), to settle current liabilities of $83,707 (March 31, 2024 – $30,167).

The following table summarizes the carrying amount and the contractual maturities of both the interest and principal portion of significant financial liabilities as of December 31, 2024:

Carrying amount Year 1 Year 2 to 3 Year 4 to 5
$ $ $ $
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities 83,707 83,707 - -

The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash reserves and by continuously monitoring anticipated cash flows to identify financial requirements. Where insufficient liquidity may exist, the Company may pursue various debt and equity instruments for short or long-term financing of its operations.

The management of the Company believes there is sufficient capital to meet short-term business obligations, after taking into account cash flow requirements from operations and the Company’s cash position as at period-end.

Fair value

Fair value estimates of financial instruments are made at a specific point in time based on relevant information about financial markets and specific financial instruments. As these estimates are subjective in nature, involving uncertainties and matters of significant judgment, they cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions can significantly affect estimated fair values.

As at period-end, the Company’s financial instruments consisted of cash, short-term investments and accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The fair value of cash, short-term investments and accounts payables and accrued liabilities are approximately equal to their carrying value due to their short-term nature.

The Company classifies fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:

  • Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
  • Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and
  • Level 3 – Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

As at December 31, 2024, the Company did not have any financial instruments which were carried at fair value (March 31, 2024 – $nil).
