Operating Results

 

General

 

This Management Discussion & Analysis (“MD&A”) is intended to provide readers with the information that management believes is required to gain an understanding of the current results of ZenaTech, Inc. (the “Company” or “ZenaTech”) and to assess the Company’s ability to raise capital to grow its business. Accordingly, certain sections of this report contain forward-looking statements that are based on current plans and expectations. These forward-looking statements are affected by risks and uncertainties that are discussed in this document and that could have a material impact on assessing the Company’s ability to raise capital to grow its business. Readers are cautioned that actual events and results will vary.

 

In this MD&A we describe certain income and expense items that are unusual or non-recurring. The associated financial statements and this MD&A, including comparatives, have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and interpretations of the IFRS Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”). Our discussion includes terms not defined by the IFRS. Our usage of these terms may vary from the usage adopted by other companies. Specifically, working capital and cash flow from operations are undefined terms by IFRS. We provide this detail so that readers have a better understanding of the significant events and transactions that have had an impact on our results.

 

The following MD&A is presented and dated as of March 28, 2025 and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 2024. The Company’s audited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the “going concern” basis, which presumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The operations of the Company have been primarily funded through internally generated cash flow and private placements of debt and equity. The continued operations of the Company are dependent on the Company’s ability to generate profitable operations in the future, continued customer growth and the execution of a sufficient financing plan for future operations.

 

Management is responsible for the preparation and integrity of the financial statements, including the maintenance of appropriate information systems, procedures, and internal controls. Management is also responsible for ensuring that information disclosed externally, including the consolidated financial statements and MD&A, is complete and reliable.

This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Such information, although considered to be reasonable by the Issuer’s management at the time of preparation, may prove to be inaccurate and actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in the statements made.

ZenaTech, formerly known as ZenaPay, originated with cloud-based enterprise software applications tailored for the agriculture sector. These applications offer blockchain-based solutions encompassing payment systems, smart farming, plant tracker software, business management tools, supply-chain blockchain management, compliance management, and government auditing software. Building upon this foundation, ZenaTech is developing a new series of next-generation applications for the agriculture industry, introducing features like point-of-sale, e-commerce, marketing tools, reward cards via mobile app, inventory control, seed-to-store tracking, employee timecards, and live video capabilities.

 

ZenaTech expanded its portfolio through the acquisition of PacePlus, which includes subsidiaries SystemView and ZigVoice. This move added profitable cloud-based enterprise software applications tailored for the medical services (PacePlus), security (SystemView), and contact center (ZigVoice) industries. ZenaTech has further refined and enhanced these applications, serving various businesses, government agencies, colleges, and healthcare providers.

 

The acquisition of WorkAware brought a revenue-generating cloud-based safety and compliance management solution that can be deployed across multiple industries, including field management services.


ZenaTech plans to leverage the WorkAware software to expand its drone business into sectors such as agriculture, infrastructure, and mining. WorkAware Canada has been established to cater to software sales in Canada.

 

Through the acquisition of TillerStack, ZenaTech acquired a profitable cloud-based enterprise field management software and mobile solutions for diverse industries. Utilizing the TillerStack software, ZenaTech aims to extend its drone business into sectors such as infrastructure and mining. TillerStack Wyoming has been established to handle software sales in the US and Canada.

Additionally, ZenaDrone Manufacturing (FZE) has been set up in the Middle East as the entity responsible for drone manufacturing, holding a license from Galaxy Batteries, Inc. (owned by Epazz, Inc.) for battery production.

 

Business Strategies

 

Our current business is in software development and licensing; however, we plan to expand into the drone business as we anticipate the market for drones to become more prevalent over the next five years. We do not anticipate any changes to the use of existing software products under our current business operated through ZenaTech, PacePlus, SystemView, ZigVoice, WorkAware, TillerStack and PsPortals while we pursue our drone business through ZenaDrone. We currently generate all our income from our software business but believe our drone business will increasingly generate income over the next five years as it develops.

 

ZenaTech has a history of providing business-to-business software solutions. In addition, the Company has many ongoing government contracts for software solutions and support. Many of the Company’s products provide cloud-based management solutions for businesses that can be utilized in a variety of industries. Various Company products provide solutions in the medical services industry, security applications, contact center applications, safety and compliance management, field management software and mobile solutions and information management solutions for law enforcement that manages information relating to public safety.

 

ZenaTech has a history of growth through acquisitions, in which the Company acquires established revenue generating software companies with an established product. When acquired, some products need software updates, however the previous owners might not have had the resources and expertise to accomplish this. The Company may incur costs to update these products in the year after acquisition.

 

Some of the Company’s solutions products were developed internally and others were acquired through acquisitions. All products are maintained and updated internally through expert staffing. The software solutions part of the business provides positive cash flow which is utilized for acquisitions and new product development. One such new product developed over the past three years is a high-quality Unmanned Vehicle System, commonly referred to as a drone.

 


The Company believes it can be more effective as a software company in developing drone technology and hardware than other potential providers who do not have a software technology-based background. The ZenaDrone 1000 is a high-quality large drone that is five times larger than many commercial drones and made of carbon fiber to keep it lightweight. It has eight electronic motors and uses a blend-wing body to lift the drone during flight, making it more stable and better maneuverable than other commercial drones. The ZenaDrone 1000 has a longer flight time than many commercial drones and can self-charge on charging pads that can be placed at various locations at a site.

 

The Company has been showcasing the drone at various trade shows and military conferences to display its functionality and features to potential customers. In addition, the ZenaDrone 1000 is ideal for video surveillance and inspections within industries such as utilities, pipelines, construction, agriculture, wildlife management and large structure maintenance. The ZenaDrone 1000 has many innovative and proprietary technologies integrated within the product and the associated software controls.

 

Over the past three years, the Company transitioned the drone business from an idea – to help its agriculture customers – to creating, beta-testing, and producing a plan for marketing its drone and branching into the drone industry.

 

By the end of 2021, the Company completed the development of the ZenaDrone 1000 and implemented a marketing plan for the product. During 2022, ZenaTech developed market awareness and is currently seeking multiple prospects.

 

The Company is generating revenue from the drone pilot programs. The Company is receiving revenue with its contract with US Airforce. Also, the company has other pilot programs, once they are completed, each customer has an option to purchase the drone platform from the Company at 35-50% discount within 90 days after the pilot program. The time frame and steps to begin generating revenue will be by converting the pilot customers into paying customers. The pilot customers will sign a purchase order within 90 days. Then the Company would deliver the drone to the customer's facility and train them on the drone platform.

 

ZenaTech’s common stock is listed on Nasdaq, an American stock exchange, under the ticker ‘ZENA,’ listed on the BMV, a Mexican stock exchange, under the ticker ‘ZENA’ and listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange in Germany under the ticker ‘49Q.’  

 

United States of America Military Contracts

 

ZenaDrone, Inc. was awarded in December 2023 a $75,000 contract by the US Air Force to demonstrate the use of ZenaDrone 1000 being used to carry blood in the field.

 

ZenaDrone, Inc. signed a contract in December 2023 with the US Naval Research to demonstrate the use of ZenaDrone 1000 being used to carry cargo in below zero temperatures in Greenland.

The Company has only one operating and reporting segment. All revenue is from software licensing and subscription agreements, software support and maintenance, and technology consulting services. Software licensing, subscription agreements, software support and maintenance agreements provide ZenaTech repeat annual sales to existing clients. When the drone segment produces revenue, the Company will have two operating segments. The Company seeks acquisitions of established companies with revenue producing software solutions and an existing client base with a history of licensing renewal. The Company believes this provides stable revenue and positive cash flow while reducing risk.

 

2024 results

 

Revenue increased by 7%, to $1.96 million in 2024 from $1.82 million in 2023 due to the acquisitions of Ecker Capital, LLC and ZooOffice, Inc. during the last quarter of 2024. These two subsidiaries were consolidated into the total revenue in the fourth quarter and brought over $532,553 or 37% increase in total 2024 revenue.

General and administrative expenses for 2024

 

ZenaTech’s total 2024 general and administrative expenses increased by $4.4 million from 2023, a 214% increase from 2023. General and administrative expenses totaled $6,474,244, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2023 of $2,061,808. This increase is due to the increase in professional fees due to listing the Company on Nasdaq, a similar increase in stock issued for services, stock payment as compensation to directors and interest expense associated with embedded loan derivatives. The Company became publicly traded on Nasdaq on October 1, 2024.

 

Amortization and depreciation are non-cash flow items and are added back to net income when calculating cash provided by or used for operating activities. Total amortization and depreciation increased by $72,587 or 26% from 2023. The Company amortized more product development during 2024. ZenaTech also purchased an industrial oven for manufacturing batteries in Sharjah, UAE, purchased drone equipment and three vehicles, which are depreciated straight line over 6-years. The Company remodeled three rooms in the Sharjah warehouse and purchased computer equipment, which are depreciated straight line over 5-years. The Company has a new warehouse lease in Sharjah, United Arab Emirates since June 2023. Amortization on current year acquisitions was totaled $49, 645.

 

The Company writes off accounts receivable to bad debts expense when a particular account is deemed unlikely to be collected. Bad debts expense was $Nil in 2024 as compared to $8,114 for the year ended December 31, 2023.

 

Financing expenses are associated with long-term debt, which is classified in the balance sheet as loans payable. Finance expenses increased by $976,260 or 207% in 2024, as compared to 2023. During 2024, the Company incurred financing expenses of $712,652 associated with embedded loan derivatives. Certain finance expenses incurred are added to the principal balance of loans payable. These finance expenses are considered non-cash flow items and are added back to net income when calculating cash provided by or used for operating activities. Of the $1,446,748 finance expenses in 2024, $1,202,058 was a non-cash flow item. The remaining finance expense of $244,690 is associated with seller notes and acquisition loans


payable. ZenaTech terminated four of the 6% interest revolving lines of credit and replaced them with 8% interest revolving lines of credit during the last quarter of 2024.

 

Programming and support fees are a direct cost of revenue and are incurred internally and externally. ZenaTech has a software programming and support agreement with Epazz, Inc. to maintain the Company’s software programs. All funds due from Epazz, Inc. represent advances for programming, support, and management fees. The Company will realize this asset through services rendered by Epazz in 2025 and 2026. The Company believes this is the most cost-efficient way to maintain and keep client products updated to work with the newest operating system versions. In this way, the Company eliminates a common complaint associated with software solution providers, which is the provider’s software is outdated and does not work with the newest operating systems. Programming and support fees increased by 49% or by $72,587 from $149,423. This increase was due to more activity related to the drone software as the Company is trying to grow its drone business.

 

The Company incurs professional fees mainly for accounting, legal, regulatory fees and certain technical services and unique programming issues. The legal fees the Company incurred during the years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023 are fees a company would incur in the normal course of business and are mainly associated with acquisitions, registration, and listing purposes. Professional fees were $697,393 in 2024 or 5.26 higher than $132,480 in 2023, an increase due to hiring more professionals for listing purposes.

 

The wages and benefits are costs associated with employees and direct full-time consultants. These costs are mainly associated with sales, customer services, in-house programming, and administration. Wages and benefits were $597,212 for the year ended December 31, 2024, which is a 9% decrease from the 2023 costs of $652,743. Of this amount, approximately $285,000 represented the PsPortals payroll, $45,018 was the TillerStack payroll and $17,700 was the WorkAware payroll.

 

Stock–based compensation is incurred by the Company for services provided by the Board of Directors and Officers. Stock–based compensation is considered an expense at the time shares are awarded. During 2024 ZenaTech issued 208,359 shares of common stock to Directors and Officers for $521,547 for services from January 1, 2022, to December 31, 2024. There were no payments made during 2023 to the Board of Directors nor Company Officers for the 2023 or 2022 services.

 

General and administrative and other expenses consist mainly of advertising, rent, travel costs, general liability insurance and other office expenses and banking costs. These costs totaled $1,840,168 for 2024 as compared to $385,501 for 2023, an increase by about $1.45 million. The reasons for this change are described below.

 

·Costs for marketing the drone saw a significant increase during 2024. Advertising costs were up by $1.1 million. By comparison, marketing costs were $98,780 during 2023.  

·Rent expenses went up to $414,461 during 2024 from $187,059 the rent in 2023. The Company now rents an apartment in Sharjah, UAE. 

·Travel costs increased by 157% to $218,356 from $84,935 during the year ended December 31, 2024, as compared to the prior year. This increase in travel costs is mainly associated with the technological development of the drone product and market awareness.  

·The Company’s insurance expense was $30,556 in 2024 higher than the 2023 amount of $11,384. ZenaTech added general liability insurance for Directors and Officers during October 2024 to its insurance policies. The total amount of the policy will be amortized over a twelve-month period.

ZenaTech incurred a loss before other income and expenses of $3,859,625 during the year ended December 31, 2024, as compared to a loss of $234,068 during the year ended December 31, 2023. Significant effects on the loss before other income and expenses during 2024 as compared to 2023 include the following:

 

·The listing on Nasdaq saw a significant increase in professional fees for finance services, such as financing services, lawyer and auditing firms. The total of these costs in cash or stock was $1.382 million. 

·ZenaTech issued to its Directors and Officers compensation for their services from 2022 to date in common stock for $521,547. 

·ZenaTech incurred financing expenses of $712,652 associated with embedded loan derivatives. 

·An increase in revenue of $532,553 following the acquisition of Ecker and ZooOffice which more than offset a decrease in WorkAware revenue by $378,443. 

Changes to other income or expenses during 2024 as compared to 2023 were the following:

·Increase in interest income by $27,348 from the Epazz Note. 

·Foreign currency exchange loss increased by $36,497 during 2024 as compared to 2023. 

·Income tax recovery went down to $Nil as compared to a gain of $4,172 in 2023. 

Foreign currency exchange income or expense is considered a component of net income. The amount is calculated based on realized foreign currency gains or losses. Foreign currency translation reserve adjustment is not considered a component of net income but is a separate component of shareholders’ equity.

Liquidity and capital resources

 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Issuer will not be able to meet its obligations as they become due. The Issuer manages its liquidity risk by forecasting cash flows from operations and anticipating any investing and financing activities. Management and the Board of Directors are actively involved in the review, planning and approval of significant expenditures and commitments.

 

Liquidity risks can be challenging for all companies, especially those companies how’s product lines are in the product development, market introduction or product growth cycle. In 2024, the Company’s drone product completed the product development stage. Drone technology has a need for capital resources associated with marketing, drone distribution and production line setup. The Company manages these liquidity risks and capital resources needs in several ways. But the Company has two sides. First of which, it is a successful technology driven software company with positive margins in a business with established clients, including some in the government sector. The software and solutions side of the business provides needed cash flow for the drone technology side of the business.

 

Starting late in 2019, the Company has incurred costs for drone development. Most development has been completed in-house with new and existing personnel. The Company has engaged certain outside experts for specific needs when required. The Company believes this process has kept the drone development costs


below what other companies may have incurred. None-the-less, the Company will continue to face challenges with drone marketing and deployment. The greater amount of capital the Company can secure in the future will have a positive impact on the growth of drone sales.

 

ZenaTech did not have any commitments for capital expenditures as of December 31, 2024. During 2024 ZenaTech spent about $4,05 million on the drone business, used to support the manufacturing facility to purchase machinery and final stages of development in the warehouse facility in Sharjah, UAE. Currently the drones are manufactured by hand. The Company used the funds to purchase machines to speed up the manufacturing process and quality of the drone product.

 

ZenaTech’s existing cash and funds available through lines of credit will be sufficient to finance the next twelve months of the Company’s operations. ZenaTech anticipates that cash generated internally, and lines of credit will be sufficient to fund the drone development. The available funds through short-term lines of credit are more than $32,800,000. These funds are available through five separate lenders and credit facilities. In addition, the Company will receive repayments from Epazz, Inc. of long-term funds currently advanced to them.

 

The Company has adequate short-term capital associated with software subscriptions, programming, maintenance, and support. The Company has a receivable from Epazz, Inc. of $1.9 million as of December 31, 2024 and by comparison it was $2.5 million as of December 31, 2023. This receivable will provide funding for programming and support fees in 2025, which are associated with software services.
