application, U.S. Application No. 19/552,368, filed on February 27, 2026, covers elements of Route1's approach to structured intelligence and operational performance management for automated license plate recognition ("ALPR") programs. The Company also confirmed that development of "Mr. Parking," an operational copilot capability within the Route1 ABI platform, remains on track for launch on or around April 21, 2026, subject to final development and testing.

On April 21, 2026, Route1 announced the commercial launch of "Mr. Parking," a new operational capability designed to improve performance across live parking environments while expanding recurring revenue within existing customer relationships.

BASIS OF PREPARATION

The consolidated financial statements of Route1 include its wholly owned subsidiaries, Route 1 Security Corporation, Group Mobile Int'l, LLC ("GMI") and Portable Computer Systems, Inc. ("PCS"). Route1 acquired GMI on March 22, 2018, and PCS on September 28, 2019.

NON-IFRS FINANCIAL MEASURE: Adjusted EBITDA

Within this MD&A, we use the term Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, patent litigation, restructuring and other costs). Adjusted EBITDA does not have any standardized meaning prescribed under IFRS and is therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies.

Adjusted EBITDA allows us to compare our operating performance over time on a consistent basis. We believe that certain investors and analysts use Adjusted EBITDA to measure a Company's ability to service debt and to meet other payment obligations, or as a common valuation measurement in the technology industry.

The table below reconciles Adjusted EBITDA to operating profit before other income (expense) for the quarters presented.

The Company's revenue and financial results are difficult to forecast and have historically fluctuated on a quarterly basis. It is expected that quarterly revenue and financial results will become more stable than previously; however, revenues may continue to fluctuate as the Company grows its revenues and customer base. Fluctuations in results are related to the growth of the Company's revenue, the timing of revenue being recognized and sales to customers, who may place large single orders in any one quarter, the timing of staffing and infrastructure additions to support growth and future acquisitions.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Management continually assesses liquidity in terms of the ability to generate sufficient cash flow to fund the business. Net cash flow is affected by the following items: (i) operating activities, including fluctuations in the levels of accounts receivable, inventory, prepaid expenses, accounts payable and contract liability; (ii) investing activities including the purchase of capital assets; and (iii) financing activities including the issuance of and/or repurchase of capital stock.

Cash generated in operating activities

The net cash generated by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $99,124 compared to cash generated of $126,173 in the same period in 2025 representing a decrease in cash generated of $27,049.

Cash generated by non-cash working capital was $76,276 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to cash generated of $3,962 from a year earlier, representing an increase in cash generated by $72,314.

ROUTE1 DRIVING DATA FORWARD

$257,142 in the same period in 2025, representing decrease in cash used of $175,689. The decrease in cash used was primarily due to the prior-year sale of Employee Retention Credits."

Cash generated in financing activities

The Company's growth strategy is increasingly focused on recurring operational engagement, operational intelligence, and lifecycle customer relationships within parking, mobility, public safety, and related infrastructure environments.

Route1 provides technology-enabled services and operational support capabilities involving automated license plate recognition ("ALPR"), video intelligence, workflow visibility, and operational accountability. The Company's strategy increasingly emphasizes long-term operational engagement models designed to support measurable operational outcomes, workflow intelligence, and recurring customer relationships rather than one-time transactional deployments.

The Company continues expanding its Route1 Actionable Business Intelligence ("Route1 ABI") platform and related operational-intelligence capabilities designed to assist operators with workflow visibility, operational reporting, enforcement analysis, operational accountability, and decision-support activities. Route1 ABI is designed to operate across multiple customer environments and infrastructure platforms, including systems deployed by leading ALPR and mobility technology providers.

Route1 currently provides or intends to provide deployment, lifecycle support, operational intelligence, and workflow-related services involving technologies including ALPR, surveillance video, body-worn cameras, drones, access control systems, and related operational infrastructure. Genetec continues to represent an important technology partner for the Company.

The Company also continues investing in workflow intelligence, operational orchestration, AI-assisted operational support capabilities, and intellectual-property initiatives related to operational visibility, structured intelligence, and parking and mobility operations management.

The Company's capital requirements include investments in technology infrastructure, software and development activities, operational support capabilities, sales and marketing initiatives, working capital, and AI-related infrastructure and development initiatives. The Company has historically financed its operations and capital requirements through operating cash flow, bank and other indebtedness, and the issuance of equity.

On October 1, 2025 Route1 entered into a revised credit agreement with its primary Canadian lender. The agreement provides that (i) the outstanding principal amount of $1,075,000 will be repaid over 24 months commencing July 31, 2025 and ending on July 31, 2027, in the amount of $50,000 per month plus interest, (ii) the final month's payment will be the amount required to repay any remaining balance on the loan, and (iii) the credit facility is non-revolving and each payment will reduce the amount of the credit facility. On March 17, 2026 Route1 Inc., entered into an accommodation agreement with RBC that changed the agreement terms from $50,000 per month plus interest the following: From February 2026 to July 2026, the

principal shall be reduced by $25,000 per month, plus accrued interest, reducing the principal balance from $875,000 to $725,000. From August 2026 to June 2027, the principal shall be reduced by $60,000 per month, plus accrued interest, reducing the principal balance from $725,000 to $65,000. In July 2027, the Borrower shall make a final principal payment of $65,000, together with all accrued interest and any outstanding legal fees, including those required to discharge the security.

Further, the prior $150,000 credit card facility was paid out and not renewed.

The revised credit facility continues to carry an interest rate equal to the lender's prime rate of interest plus 1.5%. As of March 31, 2026, the interest rate was 5.95%. The credit facility continues to be secured by the assets of Route1 Inc. and guaranteed by Group Mobile Int'l, LLC ("GMI") and PCS. As of March 31, 2026, the balance drawn on the revolving demand facility was $850,000 (March 31, 2025 - $1,225,000).

Also, the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, PCS, has an asset-based revolving credit facility in the amount of US $1,200,000. The facility carries an interest rate of fifty basis points over the prime rate published daily in the Wall Street Journal. As of March 31, 2026, the interest rate was 7.25% (December 31, 2025 - 7.25%). The availability under the facility is based on a percentage of the aggregate of certain accounts receivable and inventory. The facility is secured by the assets of PCS and is guaranteed by the Company and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. As of March 31, 2026, the balance drawn on the revolving demand facility was US $1,115,886 or CAD $1,555,433 (March 31, 2025 - US $1,001,381 or CAD $1,439,585). PCS is required to maintain a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of greater or equal to 1.10:1 and this covenant was met as of December 31, 2025.

INVENTORY

On a quarterly basis or when necessary, management reviews the carrying value of inventory. Inventory is valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value, which is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and estimated costs necessary to make the sale. For the quarters ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, management determined no adjustment to the carrying value was required.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS. Management makes certain estimates and relies on certain assumptions relating to reporting the Company's assets and liabilities as well as operating results in order to prepare the audited financial statements in conformity with IFRS. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions including those related to revenue, the valuation of accounts receivable, the estimation of useful lives of the various classes of capital assets, the valuation of assets acquired in business combinations, stock-based compensation expense, and the measurement of income tax valuation allowances. Actual results could differ from those estimates, which are as follows:

  • The Company's revenue is derived from (i) sales of its own hardware (i.e. MC3 device, the MobiKEY Fusion3 device and PocketVault P-3X device), and recurring revenue support contracts and subscription software applications (i.e. MobiKEY application software); and (ii) the resale of ruggedized computing devices and related accessories and services, as well as license plate recognition hardware and related services. The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with IFRS 15.
  • In the determination of the valuation of accounts receivable, including the allowance for doubtful accounts, the Company relies on current customer information, payment history and trends as well as future business and economic conditions.
  • The determination of inventory obsolescence allowance.
  • The estimation of useful lives of the various classes of capital assets is based upon history and experience of similar assets within each class.
  • The Company estimates the value of the assets acquired in the business combinations on the basis of fair value to the ongoing operations of the acquired business.
  • The fair value of stock options is based on certain estimates applied to the Black-Scholes option-pricing model as disclosed in the Company's financial statements.
  • The recognition of SR&ED tax credits and government grants (if any).
  • The recoverable amount of the cash-generating based on discounted future cash flow projections.
  • The measurement of the income tax valuation allowance is based upon estimates of future taxable income and the expected timing of reversals of temporary differences.

NEW STANDARDS ADOPTED

At the date of the authorization of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, several new, but not yet effective Standards and amendments to existing Standards, and Interpretations have been published by the IASB. None of these Standards or amendments to existing Standards have been adopted early by the Company.

In April 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements to improve reporting of financial performance. IFRS 18 replaces IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements. It carries forward many requirements from IAS 1. IFRS 18 applies to annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027. Earlier application is permitted. The standard must be applied retrospectively with restatement of comparative information. The key new concepts introduced in IFRS 18 relate to: the structure of the statement of profit or loss; required disclosures in the financial statements for certain profit or loss performance measures that are reported outside an entity's financial statements; and enhanced principles on aggregation and disaggregation which apply to the primary financial statements and notes. The Company is currently assessing the impact and efforts related to adopting IFRS 18. The Company expects the standard will primarily affect the presentation and disclosure of information within the consolidated financial statements.

In May 2024, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments. These amendments clarify the date of recognition and derecognition of some financial assets and liabilities, with a new exception for some financial liabilities settled through an electronic cash transfer system; add new disclosures for certain instruments with contractual terms that can change cash flows (such as some instruments with features linked to the achievement of environment, social and governance targets); and update the disclosures for equity instruments designated at fair value through other comprehensive income. These amendments apply to annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026. Earlier application is permitted and the amendments are to be applied retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact these amendments may have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Other accounting standards or amendments to existing accounting standards that have been issued but have future effective dates and are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Management anticipates that all relevant pronouncements will be adopted for the first period beginning on or after the effective date of the pronouncement. New Standards, amendments and Interpretations not adopted in the current year have not been disclosed as they are not expected to have a material impact to the Company's consolidated financial statements.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Establishing fair value

The carrying amount of financial instruments including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivables, bank indebtedness, and accounts payable and other liabilities approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

2026 | Route1 MD&A for the three months ended March 31, 2026


ROUTE1 DRIVING DATA FORWARD

The Company has an earn-out provision from the acquisition of Spyrus on September 15, 2021, which could require a payment to the previous owners of Spyrus should the gross profit exceed certain targets. It is not anticipated that any payouts will be required under this provision.

The following table sets out the classification, carrying amount, and fair value of the Company's financial assets and liabilities as at March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025:

March 31, 2026 December 31, 2025
Carrying Amount Fair Value Carrying Amount Fair Value
FINANCIAL ASSETS
Cash and cash equivalents $57,390 $57,390 $32,565 $32,565
Accounts receivable $2,321,398 $2,321,398 $2,239,220 $2,239,220
FINANCIAL LIABILITIES
Bank indebtedness $2,405,433 $2,405,433 $2,430,625 $2,430,625
Accounts payable and other liabilities $4,369,217 $4,369,217 $4,106,607 $4,106,607
Notes payable $614,042 $614,042 $386,483 $386,483

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset considers a market participant's ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.

The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS - RISK MANAGEMENT

The carrying amount of financial instruments including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivables, bank indebtedness, accounts payable, current portion of notes payable, and other liabilities approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments. Long term bank indebtedness and notes payable approximate fair value due to market rate of interest being charged.

All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the consolidated financial statements are categorized within a three-level hierarchy, based on observability of significant inputs, as follows:

  • Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
  • Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; or
  • Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

2026 | Route1 MD&A for the three months ended March 31, 2026


ROUTE1 DRIVING DATA FORWARD

Inputs into the determination of fair value require management judgment or estimation. The Company does not have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value.

The Company has exposure to credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk associated with its financial assets and liabilities. The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company's risk management framework. The Board has established the Audit Committee which is responsible for monitoring the Company's compliance with risk management policies. The Audit Committee regularly reports to the Board of Directors on its activities.

The Company's risk management program seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the Company's financial performance and ultimately shareholder value. The Company manages its risks and risk exposures through a system of internal controls and sound business practices.

The Company's financial instruments and the nature of the risks to which they may be subject are set out in the following table:

Credit Liquidity Foreign Exchange Interest Rate
Cash and cash equivalents Yes Yes Yes
Accounts receivable Yes Yes
Other receivables Yes Yes
Bank indebtedness Yes Yes Yes
Accounts payable and other liabilities Yes Yes
Notes payable Yes Yes Yes

Credit Risk

Credit risk arises from cash held with banks and credit exposure to customers, including outstanding accounts and other receivables. The maximum exposure to credit risk is equal to the carrying value (net of allowances) of the financial assets. The objective of managing credit risk is to prevent losses on financial assets. The Company assesses the credit quality of counterparties, considering their financial position, past experience and other factors. During the quarter ended March 31, 2026, the largest single customer represented approximately $304,043 of revenue or 13.6% of total revenue (March 31, 2025 - $340,810 of revenue or 15.3% of total revenue).

Cash and cash equivalents consist of bank balances. Credit risk associated with cash is minimized substantially by ensuring that these financial assets are held in highly rated financial institutions. On March 31, 2026, the Company had cash consisting of deposits with a Schedule 1 bank in Canada, a large money center bank in the U.S. and one large regional bank in the U.S. of $57,390 (December 31, 2025 - $32,565).

Accounts receivable consist primarily of accounts receivable from invoicing for subscriptions, devices, and services. Other receivables consist primarily of unbilled accounts receivable, marketing development funds, sales tax refunds to be received and an amount due for the refund of the excess of the posted bond over the patent litigation settlement amount. The Company's credit risk arises from the possibility that a customer which owes the Company money is unable or unwilling to meet its obligations in accordance with the terms and conditions in the contracts with the Company, which

2026 | Route1 MD&A for the three months ended March 31, 2026


ROUTE1 DRIVING DATA FORWARD

would result in a financial loss for the Company. This risk is mitigated through established credit management techniques, including monitoring customer's creditworthiness, setting exposure limits and monitoring exposure against these customer credit limits.

The Company measures a loss allowance based on the lifetime expected credit losses. Lifetime expected credit losses are estimated based on factors such as the Company's past experience of collecting payments, the number of delayed payments in the portfolio past the average credit period, observable changes in national or local economic conditions that correlate with default on receivables, financial difficulty of the borrower, and it becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or financial reorganization. Financial assets are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off reduce other expenses in the consolidated statements of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss). As of March 31, 2026, the largest single customer's account receivable represented $341,193 (March 31, 2025 – $238,147) of the total accounts receivable.

The following table outlines the details of the aging of the Company's receivables as of March 31, 2026, and March 31, 2025:

March 31, 2026 March 31, 2025
Current $1,171,416 $572,084

Greater than 60 days 624,192 111,730
Total accounts receivable, net $2,321,398 $1,028,743

The Company incurred bad debt charges on trade accounts receivable in the amount of $NIL during the quarter ended March 31, 2026 (2025 - $NIL).

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company's objective in managing liquidity risk is to maintain sufficient readily available reserves in order to meet its liquidity requirements at any point in time. In order to meet its financial liabilities, the Company has primarily relied and expects to continue to rely primarily on collecting its accounts receivable as they come due.

The Company's ability to manage its liquidity risk going forward will require some or all of the following: the ability to generate positive cash flows from operations and secure capital and/or credit facilities on reasonable terms in the current marketplace. The following table details the Company's contractual maturities for its financial liabilities, including interest payments and operating lease commitments, as of March 31, 2026:

Bank indebtedness for the revolving loan of credit in Vectra bank does not have a contractual maturity and as such has not been included in the above table.

Market Risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates and interest rates will affect the fair value of recognized assets and liabilities or future cash flows or the Company's results of operation.

Foreign Exchange

The functional currency of the parent Company is Canadian dollars, and the reporting currency is Canadian dollars. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had non-Canadian dollar net monetary liabilities of approximately US $1,902,320 (December 31, 2025 - US $1,847,361). An increase or decrease in the U.S. to Canadian dollar exchange rate by 5% as of March 31, 2026, would have resulted in a gain or loss in the amount of $132,582 (December 31, 2025 – $126,599).

Interest Rate

The Company has cash balances and bank indebtedness which may be exposed to interest rate fluctuations. On March 31, 2026, cash balances were $57,390 (December 31, 2025 - $32,565), bank indebtedness balances were $2,405,433 (December 31, 2025 - $2,430,624).

RISK FACTORS AND UNCERTAINTY

Although management has a positive outlook for the Company and continually improves and adapts the Company's risk mitigation strategies, operating in the technology industry inherently involves a certain level of risk and uncertainty. In management's opinion, the following risk factors, among others, should be considered when evaluating the Company's business and its results of future operations:

  • Management's ability to secure additional financing, if needed, on reasonable terms. Access to such financing on acceptable commercial terms will be dependent on the timing of recognition and receipt of cash from our current receivables and contracts, on our ability to demonstrate execution of our business strategy and the general condition of the credit and/or equity markets. Such additional financing may be dilutive in nature to existing shareholders

  • During the year ended March 31, 2026, the Company had a working capital deficiency and an accumulated deficit. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to achieve positive net cash flows or ability to raise financing. Operations could be negatively impacted by current U.S. government mandates including actions implemented by the recently established Department of Government Efficiency ("DOGE"), which may affect demand and volatility for the Company's products and services. As a result, these events and conditions indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

  • The Company's access to credit or capital could be restricted based on an economic downturn that would restrict credit availability worldwide and could also impact its ability to continue operations.

  • A portion of the Company's projected revenue in the short-term is tied to approximately US $0.5 million in renewals from MobiKEY application software subscriptions with one or more U.S. Government ("USG") accounts. If one or more USG accounts were to discontinue their relationship with the Company, such events could have a material adverse impact on the Company's operating results and financial condition.

  • The Company's revenues are derived primarily from the United States and, with respect to MobiKEY application software subscriptions, from U.S. federal governmental agencies and departments as well as state and local governments and agencies. With a change in administration, governmental agencies and departments often defer material changes in their operations and purchases of products and services until a new cabinet is appointed, the political direction is confirmed, and agency leadership is appointed. This deferral and possible change in political direction following an election could have a material adverse effect on the prospects, operations and results of operations of the Company.

  • The current U.S. President has publicly supported certain policies, including those related to changes to international trade agreements and policies favoring U.S. persons and companies. There is continued uncertainty as to which measures and policies will be maintained by the United States government, governmental agencies and departments in 2025 and beyond. Certain of these

2026 | Route1 MD&A for the three months ended March 31, 2026


ROUTE1 DRIVING DATA FORWARD

measures, including trade and tariff uncertainty, could have a material and adverse effect on the Company.

  • Certain Chief Information Officers of governmental agencies in the United States are required to resign following the election of a new President. There is no assurance that a resigning Chief Information Officer will be reappointed or that a newly appointed Chief Information Officer will be supportive (or continue to be supportive) of the Company's products and services. A change in the senior officers and decision makers in the U.S. government and its agencies could have a material adverse effect on the Company.
  • In addition to the risks discussed above and as a consequence of this transition process, the confirmation of the approval and/or renewal of the Company's products and services could be delayed and/or not subject to the approval process experienced in the past and that such delay and/or change in process will make it difficult for the Company to effectively forecast revenues and to plan and budget its operations and this could have a material adverse effect on the Company.
  • Funding of the United States government is a complex and contentious process and may result in temporary funding of government through continuing resolutions or government shutdowns. Such circumstances may result in delays in sales and renewals of existing contracts with government agencies.
  • The Company's ability to collect payment on a timely basis for products and services delivered may have a material adverse impact on the Company's liquidity position.
  • Third-party claims for infringement of intellectual property rights by Route1, and the outcome of any litigation with respect thereto, may harm the Company's competitive advantage in the secure remote access industry;
  • Should Route1 be unable to successfully obtain patent or other proprietary or statutory protection for its technologies and products, the Company's competitive advantage in the secure remote access industry may be harmed;
  • Route1's ability to obtain rights to use certain software or components which are supplied by third parties may not be sufficient to support future sales volumes;
  • Should Route1 be unable to run efficient and uninterrupted operation of its MobiNET platform, such inability could impact on the credibility of the Company's product and services;
  • Should Route1 be unable to establish new customers, and to build on its existing customer base, such inability could also slow the Company's continued growth;
  • Should Route1 be unable to integrate acquired businesses successfully, such inability could have an adverse effect on the Company;
  • The occurrence of a breach or perception of a breach of Route1's secure product and service offering may have an impact on the credibility of the Company's product and services;
  • The inappropriate disclosure of confidential information of the Company may have an impact on the credibility of the Company's product and services;
  • Competition, both with existing providers as well as with any future providers entering the marketplace, within the secure remote access industry may hamper future sales growth;
  • Route1's reliance on its suppliers and the risk that suppliers will not be able to deliver required components on a timely basis may slow future sales growth;
  • Any future government(s) regulation of the secure remote access industry, including but not limited to restrictions on encryption of the MobiKEY device and the MobiNET platform may limit future growth;

2026 | Route1 MD&A for the three months ended March 31, 2026


ROUTE1 DRIVING DATA FORWARD

  • Any significant economic downturn in geographic areas where Route1 engages in business activities may cause those government agencies to reduce discretionary budget spending in areas such as secure access solutions, and purchases of other services and products offered by the Company.
  • Any delays in the budget approval process by the U.S. government may delay the procurement and spending in areas such as digital security solutions.
  • The Company's rugged mobile technology solutions and license plate recognition business depends on a small group of large vendors from whom the Company purchases equipment to sell to end users. The Company expects that purchases will be delivered by the vendor on a timely basis. Any disruption in the supply chain could adversely affect the business.
  • The Company is dependent on obtaining acceptable payment and credit terms with certain vendors. The lack of such terms could adversely affect the ability of the Company to purchase and sell product.
  • The Company depends on purchasing product from its vendors at acceptable prices and being able to sell the product to end users at acceptable margins. Unfavorable variances in the prices from vendors and the prices paid by end users would have an adverse effect on the business.
  • The Company resells its products and solutions to a wide variety of manufacturing companies and state and local governments. Any deterioration in the creditworthiness of the Company's customer base could have an adverse effect on the Company's ability to sustain the business without collecting the amounts due from customers.
  • The Company resells its products and sells its solutions to state and local governments and law enforcement agencies. Any delay or decrease in funding of these entities would have an adverse impact on the Company's business.
  • The products sold by the Company are subject to technological obsolescence. To the extent that the Company has non-current inventory, it could be subject to a loss on the sale or write-down of such old or obsolete inventory.
  • Counterparties to purchase and sale agreements of businesses may be in breach of their representations and warranties or covenants to the Company requiring the Company to seek indemnification or other contractual or legal remedy.
  • The majority of the Company's customers purchase product on a purchase order basis. The Company is dependent on the strength of the economy as well as that of the customer and the customer's capital budget and ability to continue purchasing product sold by the Company.
  • The Company ships its product to customers through third parties and price increases, and transportation disruptions could adversely affect the business.
  • The rugged mobile technology solutions business is highly competitive, and profit margins can be adversely affected by a host of factors including the availability of sufficient working capital to operate the business. The required working capital may not be available to the Company on acceptable terms or in the amounts required to operate the business profitably.
  • The Company records transactions in Canadian dollars and conducts business primarily in the United States. The volatility of the Canadian dollar against the U.S. dollar can impact financial results negatively should the Canadian dollar appreciate significantly.
  • The Company is a Canadian corporation. While the Company has not yet been affected by the imposition of tariffs on various goods and services, any such tariffs may have an adverse impact on the Company's ability to be price competitive in the markets in which it operates.
  • There is no assurance that any forward-looking statement will materialize. Unless otherwise indicated, forward-looking statements describe expectations as of the date of this document.

2026 | Route1 MD&A for the three months ended March 31, 2026


ROUTE1 DRIVING DATA FORWARD

  • Route1 disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
  • Claims filed under the CARES Act and subsequent legislation by Route1 are subject to approval of the IRS. There is no assurance that the IRS will approve, in whole or in part, the amounts claimed by Route1, accordingly this may impact the realizable value of amounts claimed by Route1.
  • The recognition of Employee Retention Credits involves significant management estimates, particularly in determining qualified wages and eligibility periods. Changes in IRS guidance or audit outcomes may lead to revisions of previously recognized credits.
  • Employee Retention Credits-related receivables are included in our long-term assets. Delays in processing or denial of these credits may adversely impact our working capital and cash position.
  • We engaged a third-party advisor to assist with the calculation and filing of Employee Retention Credit claims. We cannot guarantee that their interpretations will align with future IRS rulings. Adverse outcomes may impact the realizability of amounts claimed by Route1.

Legal proceedings

In the course of operations, the Company may (i) be subject to litigation claims from customers, suppliers, patent holders, resellers and former employees and (ii) seek to enforce its intellectual and other property rights and rights to indemnification. A provision is recognized when the probability that the event will occur is greater than the probability that it will not. The Company regularly reviews any outstanding claims to see if they meet the criteria. A provision is calculated based on management's best estimate of probable outflow of economic resources.

REVENUE INFORMATION

Revenue for the recurring revenue and services is reported as a contract liability on the consolidated statement of financial position and is recognized as earned revenue for the period in which the subscription and/or service is provided.

For the sale of devices, revenue or contract liability is recognized at the time transfer of ownership of the device occurs. At March 31, 2026, the Company had $984,861 (March 31, 2025 - $925,228) in contract liability.
