Summary Description of Predictiv AI Inc.
Predictiv AI Inc. (the "Company" or "PAI Inc.") is a software and solutions provider in the artificial intelligence sector. The Company focuses on technologies designing solutions which deliver predictive outcomes. PAI Inc. is a technology company which helps businesses and organizations make smarter decisions using advanced artificial intelligence, deep machine learning and data science techniques.
One of the Company's operational business units, Weather Telematics Inc. ("Weather Telematics" or "WTX") was a wholly owned subsidiary and was consolidated until its disposition on December 16, 2024.
The head office, principal address and registered and records office of the Company are located at 20 Bay Street, 11th Floor, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M5J 2N8.
PAI Inc. continues to execute on its strategy of being a strategic operator of emerging technology companies with innovative big data and predictive AI solutions.
Since inception, the Company has incurred losses amounting to $23,993,215 (2024 - $23,663,074). During the period, the Company reported a net loss of $86,059 (2024 - $92,893). As at April 30, 2025 the Company had working capital deficiency of $948,262 (2024 - deficiency $645,912). The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon generating profitable operations from its acquisitions or obtaining new equity and/or debt financing on commercial terms acceptable to the Company. All of these outcomes are material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
Corporate Highlights
The company has entered into an amended letter of intent (the "LOI") to acquire all issued and outstanding shares of Shift Technologies Canada Inc. ("Shift") and HouseStack Holdings Inc. ("HouseStack"). The LOI outlines the principal terms and conditions of a business combination by way of a share exchange, amalgamation, or other similar form of transaction (the "Proposed Transaction"), which will result in Shift and HouseStack becoming wholly-owned subsidiaries of Predictiv AI, or otherwise combining their corporate existence with a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
Predictiv AI intends for the Proposed Transaction to constitute a reverse-takeover transaction pursuant to the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV"). The trading in the common shares of Predictiv AI ("PAI Shares") will remain halted pursuant to the policies of the TSXV. It is anticipated that trading will remain halted until the completion of the Proposed Transaction. It is anticipated that the reporting issuer resulting from the Proposed Transaction (the "Resulting Issuer") will qualify as a Tier 2 Technology Issuer pursuant to the requirements of the TSXV. Unless otherwise indicated, any capitalized term contained in this news release that is not defined herein has the meaning ascribed to such term in the policies of the TSXV.
Operational Focus
Closing of the Proposed Transaction will be subject to a number of conditions precedent including, without limitation:
Predictiv AI Inc. (formerly Internet of Things Inc.)
(TSX-V: PAI; OTC: INOTD; FSE:7IT) Management Discussion & Analysis
(a) receipt of all required regulatory, corporate and third-party approvals, including TSXV approval, and compliance with all applicable regulatory requirements and conditions necessary to complete the Proposed Transaction;
(b) completion of satisfactory results from due diligence investigations for each of the parties;
(c) completion of the Financing; and
(d) other mutual conditions precedent customary for a transaction such as the Proposed Transaction.
The Proposed Transaction is not a Related Party Transaction under TSXV Policy 5.2, and it is not expected that the Proposed Transaction will be subject to approval by PAI's shareholders. There are no Non-Arm's Length Parties of PAI that are Insiders, officers or shareholders of Shift or HouseStack.
Market Trends
The Company has spent the last 18 months focusing on identifying asset(s) PAI Inc. could partner with or acquire. The Company has been investigating the communications service providers sector and the wireless network technology sector.
Management has a clear focus of what we need to find, as a result we remain convinced predictive outcomes is the true value in any AI based solution. Those companies that can deliver an application or a service that focuses on a predictive outcome to a specific vertical segment, will be the ultimate winners.

Business Risk and Uncertainties
We are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that can significantly affect our business, financial condition and future financial performance, as described below. In particular, there remain significant uncertainties in capital markets impacting the availability of equity financing. While these uncertainties in capital markets do not have a direct impact on our ability to carry out our business, the Company may be impacted should it become more difficult to gain access to capital when and if needed. These risks and uncertainties are not necessarily the only risks the Company faces. Additional risks and uncertainties that are presently unknown to the Company may adversely affect our business.
Limited Operating History
The Company has a limited operating history and has limited revenues derived from its operations. The Company may not be able to achieve profitability or continue operations on an ongoing basis. As well, the Company has encountered and will continue to encounter risks and difficulties frequently experienced by growing companies in rapidly changing industries, including challenges in accurate financial planning and forecasting.
Problems Resulting from Rapid Growth
The Company will be pursuing a plan to market its solutions and platform throughout Canada, the US and abroad, and will require capital in order to meet these growth plans. There can be no assurances that proceeds from the Company's financings will enable the Company to meet these growth needs. The Company expects to require significant working capital and other financial resources to implement its plan for rapid growth, including attracting and retaining qualified personnel. No assurance exists that the plan will be successful, and this may have a material adverse consequence on the business of the Company.
Growth of E-Commerce
The business of selling goods and services over the internet is dynamic and relatively new. Concerns about fraud, privacy and other challenges may discourage consumers and customers from adopting the internet as a medium of commerce.
Liquidity and Capital Requirements
The Company faces significant challenges in order to achieve profitability. There can be no assurance that it will be able to maintain adequate liquidity or achieve long-term viability. The Company's ability to meet its obligations in the ordinary course of business is dependent upon management's ability to establish profitable operations or raise capital, as needed, through public, or private debt or equity financing, or other sources of financing to fund operations.
The disruption of the capital markets and/or a decline in economic conditions, amongst other factors, could negatively impact the Company's ability to achieve profitability or raise additional capital when needed. In order to optimize the growth of the business, the Company may need to raise additional debt or equity financing. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to identify a source of such financing, or that such financing will be available on acceptable terms, if at all. Moreover, should the opportunity to raise additional capital arise, any additional
Predictiv AI Inc.
(TSX-V: PAI; OTC: INOTD; FSE:7IT) Management Discussion & Analysis
debt or equity financing could result in significant dilution of the existing holders of the Company's common shares.
Acquisitions or Other Business Transactions
The Company may, when and if opportunities arise, acquire other products, technologies or businesses that are complementary to its business. Acquisitions involve numerous risks, including difficulties in the assimilation of the operations, technologies and products of the acquired companies, the diversion of management's attention from other business concerns, risks associated with entering new markets or conducting operations in industry segments in the Company has no or limited experience, and the potential loss of key employees of the investee companies. Moreover, there can be no assurances that any anticipated benefits of an acquisition will be realized. Future acquisitions by the Company, could result in potentially dilutive issuances of equity securities, the use of cash, the incurrence of debt and contingent liabilities, and write-off of acquired research and development costs, all of which could materially adversely affect the Company's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Retention or Maintenance of Key Personnel
Although the Company's management has made efforts to align the interests of key employees by, among other things, granting equity interests in the Company to its operations personnel with vesting schedules tied to continued employment, there is no assurance that the Company can attract or retain key personnel in a timely manner as the need arises. Failure to have adequate personnel may materially compromise the ability of the Company to operate its business.
Conflicts of Interest
The Company may contract with affiliated parties, members of management of the Company, or companies owned or controlled by members of the Company's management. These parties or persons may obtain compensation and other benefits in transactions relating to the Company.
Certain members of management of the Company have other business activities in addition to the business of the Company, although each such member of management is contracted to devote the substantial majority of his or her working time to the Company. Despite management's intention to act fairly, it is possible that the Company could inadvertently enter into arrangements with related parties that feature less favourable terms than could have been obtained from unrelated parties.
Proprietary Rights Could Be Subject to Suits or Claims
No assurance exists that the Company or any company with which it conducts business can or will be successful in pursuing protection of the Company's proprietary rights such as business names, logos, marks, ideas, inventions, copyrights in photos and other visual works, and technology. In many cases, governmental registrations may not be available or advisable, considering legalities and expense, and even if registrations are obtained, adverse claims or litigation could occur.

(TSX-V: PAI; OTC: INOTD; FSE:7IT) Management Discussion & Analysis
Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
In accordance with National Instrument 52-109 Certification of Disclosure in Issuers' Annual and Interim Filings, management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal controls over financial reporting ("ICFR"). The Company's management, including the CEO and CFO, has designed Internal Control-Integrated Framework to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS.
Notwithstanding human errors that impose inherent limitations in the financial reporting process, our board of directors is responsible for the approval process of our disclosure documents. All significant disclosures are subject to review and approval by the board prior to submission. This process ensures that our disclosures align with our corporate objectives and comply with regulatory requirements.
Statement of Corporate Governance
Corporate Governance
Corporate governance relates to the activities of the Board, the members of which are elected by and are accountable to the Shareholders and takes into account the role of the individual members of management who are appointed by the Board and who are charged with the day-to-day management of the Company. National Policy 58-201 Corporate Governance Guidelines ("NP 58-201") establishes corporate governance guidelines which apply to all public companies. These guidelines are not intended to be prescriptive, but to be used by issuers in developing their own corporate governance practices. The Board is committed to sound corporate governance practices, which are both in the interest of its Shareholders and contribute to effective and efficient decision making. Pursuant to National Instrument 58-101 Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices ("NI 58-101"), the Company is required to disclose its corporate governance practices, as summarized below. The Board will continue to monitor such practices on an ongoing basis and, when necessary, implement such additional practices as it deems appropriate.
Board of Directors
The Board is currently composed of two (2) directors, Messrs. Jim Grimes and Khurram Qureshi. The Company is in the process of considering additional individuals to add to the Board as independent directors.
NP 58-201 suggests that the board of directors of every listed company should be constituted with a majority of individuals who qualify as "independent" directors, within the meaning set out under National Instrument 52-110 Audit Committees ("NI 52-110"), which provides that a director is independent if he or she has no direct or indirect "material relationship" with the company. "Material relationship" is defined as a relationship which could, in the view of the company's board, be reasonably expected to interfere with the exercise of a director's independent judgment.
None of the current directors are considered to be "independent" as one is the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and the other is the Chief Financial Officer of the Company.
Predictiv AI Inc.
(TSX-V: PAI; OTC: INOTD; FSE:7IT) Management Discussion & Analysis
Once independent directors have been appointed to the Board, the Board will be expected to act independent of management of the Company. In order to enhance the Board's ability to act independently of management, the members of the Board may meet in the absence of members of management and the non-independent directors. In the event of a conflict of interest at a meeting of the Board, the conflicted director will, in accordance with corporate law and in accordance with his or her fiduciary obligations as a director of the Company, disclose the nature and extent of his or her interest to the meeting and abstain from voting on or against the approval of such participation. In addition, the members of the Board that are not members of management of the Company are encouraged by the management members of the Board to communicate and obtain advice from such advisors and legal counsel as they may deem necessary in order to reach a conclusion with respect to issues brought before the Board.
Board Mandate
The Board is responsible for the conduct of the Company's affairs generally. The Board is responsible for reviewing and approving the Company's operating plans and budgets as presented by management. The Board is responsible for identifying the principal risks of the Company's business and for ensuring these risks are effectively monitored and mitigated to the extent practicable. Succession planning, including the recruitment, supervision, compensation and performance assessment of the Company's senior management personnel also fall within the ambit of the Board's responsibilities. The Board is responsible for ensuring effective communications by the Company with its Shareholders and the public and for ensuring that the Company adheres to all regulatory requirements with respect to the timeliness and content of its disclosure. In keeping with its overall responsibility for the stewardship of the financial affairs of the Company, the Board created an Audit Committee (as hereinafter defined) which is responsible for the integrity of the Company's internal control and management information systems.
The Board is responsible for approving annual operating plans recommended by management. Board consideration and approval is also required for all material contracts and business transactions and all debt and equity financing proposals.
The Board delegates to management responsibility for meeting defined corporate objectives, implementing approved strategic and operating plans, carrying on the Company's business in the ordinary course, managing the Company's cash flow, evaluating new business opportunities, recruiting staff and complying with applicable regulatory requirements.
Other Reporting Issuer Directorships
The current directors do not have any other reporting issuer directorships.
Orientation and Continuing Education
The Company does not provide a formal orientation and education program for new directors of the Company. However, any new directors will be given the opportunity to (a) familiarize themselves with the Company, the current directors, and members of management; (b) review copies of recently filed public documents of the Company and the Company's internal financial information; (c) have access to technology experts and consultants; and (d) review a summary of relevant corporate and securities legislation. Directors are also given the opportunity for
Predictiv AI Inc.
(TSX-V: PAI; OTC: INOTD; FSE:7IT) Management Discussion & Analysis
continuing education. Board meetings may also include presentations by the Company's management and consultants to give the directors additional insight into the Company's business.
Each new director is given an outline of the nature of the Company's business, its corporate strategy and current issues within the Company. New directors are also required to meet with management of the Company to discuss and better understand the Company's business and are given the opportunity to meet with counsel to the Company to discuss their legal obligations as directors of the Company.
In addition, management of the Company takes steps to ensure that its directors and officers are continually updated as to the latest corporate and securities policies which may affect the directors, officers and committee members of the Company as a whole. The Company continually reviews the latest securities rules and policies. Any such changes or new requirements are then brought to the attention of the Company's directors either by way of director or committee meetings or by direct communications from management of the directors.
Ethical Business Conduct
The Board has found that the fiduciary duties placed on individual directors by the Company's governing corporate legislation and the common law, the restrictions placed by applicable corporate legislation on an individual director's participation in decisions of the Board in which the director has an interest, as well as adherence to the standards contained in the Company's Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, have been sufficient to ensure that the Board operates independently of management and in the best interests of the Company. Further, the Company's auditor has full and unrestricted access to the Audit Committee (as hereinafter defined) of the Company at all times to discuss the audit of the Company's financial statements and any related findings as to the integrity of the financial reporting process.
Nomination of Directors
The Corporate Governance & Nominating Committee considers its size each year when it considers the number of directors to recommend to the Shareholders for election at the annual meeting of Shareholders, taking into account the number required to carry out the Board's duties effectively and to maintain a diversity of views and experience. Accordingly, the Corporate Governance & Nominating Committee considers five (5) directors, in light of the Company's state of development, to be appropriate. The Company is in the process of adding three (3) independent directors.
Audit Committee Disclosure
Pursuant to applicable laws, the policies of the TSXV and NI 52-110, the Company is required to have an audit committee comprised of not less than three (3) directors, a majority of whom are not officers, control persons or employees of the Company or an affiliate of the Company. NI 52-110 requires the Company, as a venture issuer, to disclose annually in its Information Circular or MD&A certain information concerning the constitution of its Audit Committee and its relationship with its independent auditor.
Predictiv AI Inc.
(TSX-V: PAI; OTC: INOTD; FSE:7IT) Management Discussion & Analysis
The Audit Committee is responsible for the Company's financial reporting process and the quality of its financial reporting. In addition to its other duties, the Audit Committee reviews all financial statements, annual and interim, intended for circulation among Shareholders and reports upon these to the Board. In addition, the Board may refer to the Audit Committee other matters and questions relating to the financial position of the Company. In performing its duties, the Audit Committee maintains effective working relationships with the Board, management and the external auditors and monitors the independence of those auditors.
Audit Committee's Charter
The Board is responsible for reviewing and approving the unaudited interim financial statements together with other financial information of the Company and for ensuring that management fulfills its financial reporting responsibilities. The audit committee of the Company (the "Audit Committee") assists the Board in fulfilling this responsibility. The Audit Committee meets with management to review the financial reporting process and the unaudited interim financial statements together with other financial information of the Company. The Audit Committee reports its findings to the Board for its consideration in approving the unaudited interim financial statements together with other financial information of the Company for issuance to the Shareholders.
The Audit Committee has the general responsibility to review and make recommendations to the Board on the approval of the Company's annual and interim financial statements, the management discussion and analysis and the other financial information or disclosure of the Company.

In connection with such investigations or otherwise in the course of fulfilling its responsibilities under this Charter, the Audit Committee has the authority to independently retain special legal, accounting, or other consultants to advise it, and may request any officer or employee of the Company, its independent legal counsel or independent auditor to attend a meeting of the Audit Committee or to meet with any members of, or consultants to, the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee also has the power to create specific subcommittees with all of the investigative powers described above.
The Company's independent auditor is ultimately accountable to the Board and to the Audit Committee. The Board and Audit Committee, as representatives of the Company's shareholders, have the ultimate authority and responsibility to evaluate the independent auditor, and to nominate annually the independent auditor to be proposed for shareholder approval, and to determine appropriate compensation for the independent auditor. In the course of fulfilling its specific responsibilities hereunder, the Audit Committee must maintain free and open communication between the Company's independent auditors, the Board and the management of the Company.
While the Audit Committee has the responsibilities and powers set forth in this Charter, it is not the duty of the Audit Committee to plan or conduct audits or to determine that the Company's financial statements are complete, accurate, and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. This is the responsibility of the independent auditor and management, respectively. Nor is it the duty of the Audit Committee to conduct investigations, to resolve disagreements, if any, between management and the independent auditor (other than disagreements regarding financial reporting), or to assure compliance with laws and regulations or the Company's own policies.
