Notes to Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

(Stated in Canadian Dollars)

December 31, 2024

1. Business of the Company

ZTEST Electronics Inc. (“the Company”) amalgamated under the laws of Ontario and carries on business at 523 McNicoll Avenue, Toronto, Ontario developing and assembling printed circuit boards. The Company's shares trade on the Canadian Securities Exchange (“CSE”) under the symbol “ZTE”.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

Statement of compliance

The Company has prepared these unaudited condensed interim financial statements in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting, employing all of the same accounting policies and methods of computation as disclosed in the annual financial statements as at June 30, 2024.

The notes to these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements are intended to provide a description of events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in the Company’s financial position and performance since June 30, 2024. Certain disclosures that appear in the annual financial statements have not been reproduced in these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements and, in this regard only, these unaudited condensed interim financial statements do not conform in all respects to the requirements of IFRS for annual consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements should only be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements as at June 30, 2024.

These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements were authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors of the Company on February 25, 2025.

Basis of presentation

These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information.

Basis of consolidation

These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company as well as the following subsidiaries' assets and liabilities and the revenues and expenses arising, subsequent to the date of acquisition:

Permatech Electronics Corporation (“PEC”) - 100% owned
Northern Cross Minerals Inc. - 66.7% owned (inactive)

Significant accounting judgments and estimates

The preparation of these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements requires management to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual outcomes could differ from these estimates. These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements include estimates which, by their nature, are uncertain. The impacts of such estimates are pervasive throughout the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements and may require accounting adjustments based on future occurrences. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised and in future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. These estimates are based on historical experience, current and future economic conditions, and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Significant estimates and judgments include, but are not limited to, the assessment of the Company as a going concern, recoverability of inventory, the inputs used in applying the Black-Scholes valuation model, and the recognition and valuation of deferred tax amounts.

Financial instruments

The Company’s financial instruments are comprised of the following:

2. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Financial instruments - continued

Financial liabilities: Classification
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities Amortized cost
Government remittances payable Amortized cost
Customer deposits Amortized cost
Lease liability Amortized cost
Long-term debt Amortized cost

Amortized cost – The amount at which a financial asset or financial liability is measured at initial recognition minus the principal repayments, plus or minus the cumulative amortization using the effective interest method of any difference between that initial amount and the maturity amount and, for financial assets, adjusted for any expected credit losses.

The effective interest method – The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a financial asset or liability and of allocating interest and any transaction costs over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts or payments through the expected life of the financial asset or liability to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.

Impairment of non-financial assets

At the end of each reporting period, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its non-financial assets with finite lives to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. The Company has assessed the assets of all its operating entities and has determined that there is no impairment of its non-financial assets.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash equivalents consist of term deposits having a term of 90-days or less, held at the Company’s financial institution. They are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

Income per share

The Company presents basic and diluted income per share data for its common shares, calculated by dividing the income attributable to common shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the financial reporting period. Diluted income per share is determined by adjusting the income attributable to common shareholders and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the effects of all dilutive potential common shares.

Stock options and warrants outstanding are excluded from the computation of diluted income per share if their inclusion would increase the income per share, or decrease the loss per share, or if their exercise price exceeds the average market price of the Company’s shares for the financial reporting period.

Segment disclosure

The Company has a single location and operating segment accordingly, all revenues are generated in Canada and all assets are located in Canada.

Accounting standards effective for future periods

IFRS18, Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements: issued April 2024 and effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027, although early adoption is permitted. It supersedes IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements, and replaces presentation aspects of many existing standards. The objective is to set out requirements for the presentation and disclosure of information in general purpose financial statements. The Company intends to adopt IFRS 18 in its financial statements for the annual period beginning on July 1, 2027 and anticipates that its adoption may alter the way certain amounts and information are presented in its consolidated financial statements.

5. Right of use asset

The Company occupies its operating facility under a lease that expires March 2026. The right-of-use asset was initially recorded at cost, equal to the present value of the remaining lease payments, plus a refundable deposit paid at the inception of the lease. Subsequent to initial recording, the carrying-value of the right-of-use asset is equal to cost less accumulated depreciation and, if any, impairment losses and remeasurement of the lease liability. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease and charged as an element of occupancy costs (note 12). There have been no impairment losses and no remeasurement of the lease liability.

Balance, June 30, 2023 $ 490,880
Depreciation recorded as an element of occupancy costs (82,887)

Balance, December 31, 2024 $ 242,218

6. Investments

The Company holds a non-controlling interest in Conversance Inc., a private Canadian technology company. The absence of cash flows made it infeasible for the Company to ascertain the value of Conversance Inc. as a going concern in a prior period and a provision for impairment was recognized to reduce the carrying value of the investment to $1. Should future circumstances warrant doing so, this provision may be reversed, but only to the extent that the carrying value of the investment at the time of reversal does not exceed the carrying value that would have resulted had the provision not been recorded.

The shares of Conversance Inc. are subject to a hold period and, unless permitted under securities legislation, the shares may not be traded before the date that is four months and a day after the issuer becomes a reporting issuer in any province or territory.

ZTEST retains its right, provided it holds more than 15%, to maintain its ownership interests by subscribing for the requisite number of Class A common shares of Conversance, at the same price and payment terms applicable to any financing. To date, when properly presented, ZTEST has declined the opportunity to participate in convertible debt financings proposed by Conversance. The Company lacks adequate documentation to ascertain the aggregate amounts raised, if any, under these financings, what dilution ZTEST may be subject to as a result, and whether any conversions may have happened to date.

Dec. 31 2024 June 30 2024
296,250 Class A common shares, representing a 25.29% interest $ 1,129,762 $ 1,129,762

No amount was drawn on this line of credit on December 31, 2024 or June 30, 2024.

8. Lease liability

The Company occupies its operating facility under a lease extension that expires March 2026. A refundable deposit of $35,000 was paid at the inception of the lease. The lease liability was recorded at the present value of the lease payments, discounted using the Company's incremental borrowing rate at the time the lease was extended, of 3.386%. The lease liability is subsequently reduced by lease payments paid and increased by imputed interest as follows:

Balance, June 30, 2023 $ 484,738
Lease payments paid during period (90,540)

Unrecognized Deferred Tax Assets

Deferred taxes are provided as a result of temporary differences that arise due to the differences between the income tax values and the carrying amount of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets have not been recognized in respect of the following deductible temporary differences:

Dec. 31 2024 June 30 2024
Share issuance costs $ 71,681 $ 81,922
Equipment 13,875 13,592
Resource related expenditures 349,050 349,050
Scientific research and experimental development 1,050,618 1,050,618
Net capital loss carry-forwards 1,937,944 1,903,864
Non-capital loss carry-forwards 15,592,989 15,592,989

Share issue costs expire in 2028, and non-capital loss carry-forwards expire from 2035 to 2045. The remaining deductible temporary differences may be carried forward indefinitely, but net capital loss carry-forwards can only be used to reduce capital gains. Deferred tax assets have not been recognized in respect of these items because it is not probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the group can utilize the benefits therefrom.

14. Capital disclosures

The Company's objective when managing capital is to ensure its ability to meet operating commitments as they become due and to provide return for shareholders. This is achieved by continuously monitoring actual and projected cash flows and making adjustments to capital as necessary. Except for the repayment terms associated with long-term debt instruments, there are no externally imposed capital requirements.

15. Financial risk factors

The Company is exposed in varying degrees to the following financial instrument related risks:

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation and cause the other party to incur a financial loss. The Company’s primary exposure to credit risk is in its accounts receivable. In an effort to mitigate this risk, management actively manages and monitors its receivables and obtains pre-payments where warranted. It has been determined that no allowance is required, as all amounts outstanding are considered collectible. The Company incurred no bad debts during the periods ended December 31, 2024 or December 31, 2023.

Concentration of credit risk

Concentration of credit risk arises when one or more customers, defined as a major customer, individually account for 10% or more of the Company’s revenues during a reporting period. During the current period, the Company had 2 major customers which represented 25% and 15% of revenues (Dec. 31, 2023 - 2 customers, 20% and 16% of revenues). Amounts due from these customers represented approximately 42% of accounts receivable at December 31, 2024 (Dec. 31, 2023 - 57%). The loss of a major customer, or significant curtailment of purchases by such a customer, could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations and financial condition. The Company monitors the relationship with all customers closely and ensures that every customer is subject to the same risk management criteria.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk arises through the excess of financial obligations over available financial assets due at any point in time. On December 31, 2024 the Company had current financial assets of $4,874,432 (June 30, 2024 - $4,466,034) available to settle current financial liabilities of $1,839,849 (June 30, 2024 - $2,151,741). The Company manages its liquidity risk through the management of its capital (note 14), which incorporates the continuous monitoring of actual and projected cash flows to ensure that it has sufficient liquidity to meet its operating commitments without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company’s reputation.

Market risks

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk due to a bank operating loan that has a floating interest rate as well as currency risk related to accounts receivable, accounts payable, and nominal amounts of cash, prepaid expenses, and customer deposits denominated in US dollars. Market risks give rise to the potential for future cash flows to fluctuate because of changes in interest rates or foreign exchange rates. Market risks are closely monitored, and attempts are made to match foreign cash inflows and outflows. During the current period the Company has reported a foreign exchange loss in the amount of $12,257 (Dec. 31, 2023 - loss of $8,504).

Sensitivity to market risks

On December 31, 2024, the Company had:

  • A bank operating loan of which $Nil was drawn (June 30, 2024 - $Nil) bears interest predicated upon the TD Bank prime lending rate. A change of 1% in that prime lending rate would result in no impact on cash flows over the next 12 months, based on the current loan balance.
  • US$194,900 (June 30, 2024 - US$172,478) included in accounts receivable. A 5% increase in the value of the Canadian dollar relative to the US dollar would result in a reduction of $9,745 in future cash inflow.
  • US$289,704 (June 30, 2024 - US$144,464) included in accounts payable. A 5% decrease in the value of the Canadian dollar relative to the US dollar would result in an increase of $14,485 in future cash outflow.

Based upon observations of recent market trends management believes that each of these outcomes is possible.
