Q2 2025 compared to Q2 2024
The Company's net loss and comprehensive loss decreased by 13% to $482,447 from $557,530 in the prior year comparable period. The primary drivers of this change were as follows:
- Revenue increased by 16% to $984,835 from $846,646 in the prior year comparable period mainly due to increased occupancy from more Canadians vacationing domestically.
- Accretion expense decreased to $2,593 from $28,913 in the prior year comparable period. The higher accretion expense in the prior year comparable period was primarily related to the convertible debentures that were extinguished on March 1, 2024.
- Share-based compensation decreased to $nil from $53,213 in the prior year comparable period due to the immediate vesting of stock options granted to the Company's directors, officers and consultants in the prior year comparable period. The Company did not grant any stock options during the current period.
Partially offsetting the decrease in the net loss and comprehensive loss were increases to certain expenses as follows:
- Interest expense increased to $249,768 from $214,536 in the prior year comparable period mainly due to additional interest from the extension of a lease agreement in June 2024 as well as higher amortization of financing costs relating to outstanding mortgages in the current period.
- Marketing increased to $68,992 from $10,342 in the prior year comparable period mainly. The Company entered into new advertising contracts during the current period.
- Salaries and benefits increased to $492,706 from $446,046 in the prior year comparable period mainly due to management position overlap during restructuring in the current period. Salaries and benefits are expected to reduce in future periods as a result of the restructuring completed in Q3 2025.

Due to the seasonality of the camping business, the Company's highest occupancy and revenue are seen during the summer months of June through September. As a result, the Company recognizes its highest revenue in the second and third quarters every year.
Net loss and comprehensive loss were consistent between comparable quarters in 2025, 2024 and 2023 with the exception of Q3 2024 and Q2 2025. The Company reported net income and comprehensive income of $53,119 in Q3 2024 as a result of lower salaries and benefits as compared to prior periods from the outsourcing of some administrative services as well as lower share-based compensation, depreciation and property costs. The Company reported a net loss and comprehensive loss of $482,447 as a result of higher revenues due to increased occupancy as tensions with the United States has led more Canadians to vacation domestically.

Cash provided by operating activities was $412,000 compared to $51,439 in the prior year comparable period. The increase in cash provided by operating activities was mainly due to improved working capital management resulting in increased cash inflow.
Cash used in investing activities was $301,041 compared to $50,394 in the prior year comparable period. The increase in cash used in investing activities was primarily driven by higher expenditures on property and equipment.
Cash used in financing activities was $493,128 in the current period compared to $155,323 in the prior year comparable period. During the prior year comparable period, the Company received proceeds from the issuance of unit private placement of $285,000, which was partially offset by repayment of mortgages and promissory notes as well as lease payments.

USE OF NON-IFRS FINANCIAL MEASURES
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before finance expense, interest expense, depreciation, amortization, any unusual, non-core, items and certain non-cash or one-time items. The Company considers its main operating activities to be the core business operations and management of its operating subsidiaries. Costs related to strategic initiatives such as business acquisitions, integration of newly acquired businesses and restructuring are considered non-core.
The non-cash adjustments are expenses incurred during the period which are not the result of the main operating activities of the Company or are related to the financing of these activities. Other expenses are unusual, non-core, non-cash or one-time insignificant items included within "other income" and "other expense" on the consolidated statements of profit or loss that are not related to the main operating activities.
While Adjusted EBITDA is not a recognized measure under IFRS Accounting Standards, management believes that it is a useful supplemental measure as it provides management and investors with an insightful indication of the performance of the Company. Adjusted EBITDA is an assessment of the normalized results and cash generated by the main operating activities, prior to the consideration of how these activities are financed or taxed as a facilitator for valuation and a proxy for cashflow. Management applies Adjusted EBITDA in its operational decision making as an indication of the financial performance of its main operating activities.
Investors should be cautioned, however, that Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to a statement of cash flows as a measure of liquidity and cash flows. The methodologies we use to determine Adjusted EBITDA may differ from those utilized by other issuers or companies and, accordingly, Adjusted EBITDA as used in this MD&A may not be comparable to similar measures used by other issuers or companies. Readers are cautioned that Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to net income (loss) determined in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as indicators of an issuer's performance or to cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities as measures of liquidity and cash flows.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY
The preparation of the Company's consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with IFRS Accounting Standards requires management to make judgments, estimates, and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The Company's management reviews these estimates and underlying assumptions on an ongoing basis, based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Revisions to estimates are adjusted prospectively in the period in which the estimates are revised.
The accounting estimates, judgements and assumptions used in the preparation of the financial statements are consistent with those applied and disclosed in the notes to the Annual Financial Statements.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT
Fair value of financial assets and liabilities
Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified into one of three levels in the fair value hierarchy according to the relative reliability of the inputs used to estimate the fair values. The classification of each measurement within this hierarchy is based on the lowest-level significant input used in valuation. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:
- Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
- Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly
- Level 3 - Inputs that are not based on observable market data
The Company's financial assets and liabilities consist of cash, receivables, deposits, an investment, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, a loan payable, promissory notes, lease liabilities, mortgages and debentures.
Except for the investment, all financial assets and liabilities of the Company are measured at amortized cost. The equity investment is measured at fair value through profit or loss at level 3.
The fair values of cash, receivables, deposits, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their respective fair values due to the short-term nature. On initial recognition, the fair values of the Company's financial liabilities, including the loan payable, promissory notes and lease liabilities, mortgages and debentures were determined using the discounted cash flow method which involves discounting future cash flows at a risk-adjusted discount rate. The fair values of loan payable, debentures and mortgages approximate their respective carrying values as they accrue interest at market rates.
Risk management
The Company is exposed to certain financial risks by its financial instruments. The risk exposures and their impact on the Company's Financial Statements are summarized below.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of loss associated with the counterparty's inability to fulfill its payment obligations. The risk for cash is mitigated by holding these instruments with highly rated Canadian financial institutions. The maximum credit risk exposure associated with cash is limited to the total carrying value.
Receivables (excluding GST receivable and subscription receivable) are due within 90 days; management has reviewed these accounts, and the amounts presented are those that management expects to recover net of any allowance for lifetime expected credit losses. Included in receivables are holdbacks which are portions of payments held by the Company's processors from credit card sales. The counterparties retaining the holdbacks are comprised of highly rated Canadian financial institutions and a large global provider of financial services technology. As at June 30, 2025 the Company has determined an allowance relating to receivables to be $nil (December 31, 2024 - $nil) given its historical collection record and has assessed credit risk as minimal. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company received $100,000 to settle the unit subscription receivable outstanding as at December 31, 2024.
Liquidity risk
The Company's approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it has sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities when due. As at June 30, 2025, the Company had a cash balance of $443,954 (December 31, 2024 - $826,123) to settle current liabilities of $11,101,770 (December 31, 2024 - $7,392,186). Accounts payable have contractual maturities of less than 30 days and are subject to normal trade terms. The Company's liquidity risk is high and it will need to seek additional forms of financing to meet its current liabilities.
Foreign currency risk

CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Company's objectives of capital management are intended to safeguard the Company's normal operating requirements on an ongoing basis. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements and the Company's overall strategy with respect to capital risk management remains unchanged since incorporation.
The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management, however, rather relies on the expertise of the Company's management to sustain future development of the business. Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable. The Company has in place a planning, budgeting and forecasting process which is used to identify the amount of funds required to ensure the Company has appropriate liquidity to meet short and long-term operating objectives. The Company is dependent on cash flows generated from operation and financing to fund its activities. In order to maintain or adjust its capital structure, the Company may issue new shares or debt. There have been no changes to the Company's approach to capital management during the six months ended June 30, 2025.
