This Form 20-F Annual Report includes “forward-looking statements”. A shareholder or
prospective shareholder should bear this in mind when assessing the Company’s business.
All statements included in this annual report, other than statements of historical facts,
including, without limitation, the statements located elsewhere herein regarding industry

looking statements, within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the “U.S. Securities Act”), Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as

within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-
looking statements relate to future events or the Company’s future performance. Such
forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other

or from any future results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Readers
should consider statements that include the terms "believe," "belief," "expect," "plan,"
"anticipate," "intend" or the like to be uncertain and forward-looking. In addition, all
statements, trends, analyses and other information contained in this report relative to trends
in net sales, gross margin, anticipated expense levels and liquidity and capital resources,
constitute forward-looking statements. Particular attention should be paid to the facts of our
limited operating history, the unpredictability of our future revenues, our need for and the
availability of capital resources, the evolving nature of our business model, and the risks
associated with systems development, management of growth and business expansion.
Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking
statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. All cautionary
statements made herein should be read as being applicable to all forward-looking statements

Risk Factors
The Company’s business is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including those described
elsewhere in this MD&A, as well as general economic and market risks. The following discussion describes
material risks and uncertainties that the Company has identified that may affect the Company’s results of
operations and financial condition.
Risks Related to the Business
•
Regulations - The Company operates in a highly regulated market with a Children's Online Privacy
Protection Rule (“COPPA”) & General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”). There is the risk
that the regulations restrict the Company operations. The Company serves compliant contextual
mobile advertising network that safely reaches hundreds of million kids, teens, and families every
month.
•
Reliant on Google and Apple - The Company is heavily reliant on Google and Apple, on whose
platform the games where we advertise are hosted. The Company has been Google certified and
has been approved by Apple.
•
Expanding Company - the Company is a growing and expanding company. The Company’s
revenues may be materially affected by the decisions of its management and/or customers, and due
to a variety of other factors, many of which may be beyond the Company’s control. This may lead
to expenses exceeding estimates or be incurred in the expectation of sales that do not occur or that
occur later than expected. Management expects expenses to increase, especially hiring of
additional staff to support its growth and expansion. Fluctuating results could cause unanticipated
quarterly losses and cause the Company’s performance to fall below the expectations of investors,
which could adversely affect the price of the common shares. The following will cause fluctuating
results:
o Changes in demand for Kidoz Platform
o Changes in the Company’s customer base, additions and losses of customers
o Changes in advertising budgets of our customers
o Changes in the availability of advertising inventory or in the cost of reaching customers
through digital advertising.
o Disruptions or outages on the Kidoz platform.
o New technology or offering by the Kidoz competitors.
o Timing differences between our payments for advertising inventory and our collection of
advertising revenue.
Page 5
o Shifting views and behaviors of consumers concerning use of data.
Based upon the factors above and others beyond the Company’s control, Kidoz forecasts future
revenue, costs, and expenses, and continually reviews these forecasts. As a result, its operating
results may, from time to time, fall below estimates or the expectations of securities analysts and
investors.
•
Managing growth - The Company has expanded rapidly over the last few years. The continued
rapid growth of the Company may strain management, financial, technical, and other resources.
The Company must expand its sales, marketing, technology, and operational staff and expand its
controls. If Kidoz continues its rapid growth, it will incur additional expenses, and its growth may
continue to place a strain on resources, infrastructure, and ability to maintain the quality of its
offering. Accordingly, the Company may not be able to effectively manage and coordinate growth
so as to achieve or maximize future profitability.
•
Reliance on Key Customers - The Company is reliant on a relatively few customers and sales
houses. The loss of a significant customer could harm the Company’s business and severely impact
the future financial success of the Company. The Company is continually looking for new
customers and sales houses around the world to partner with.
•
Retaining and attracting customers - The Company, to continue to grow, must attract new
customers and encourage existing advertisers to purchase additional offerings. Our competitors
may introduce lower costs or differentiated products or services that compete with our current
offering on price or technology and therefore impact our sales. The Company has hired additional
sales staff and is continually developing its technology.
•
No long-term customer commitments - The Company does not have any long term commitments
by its customers beyond the current insertion order, which can be cancelled prior to the campaign
conclusion without any penalty. Therefore, the Company success is dependent on offering the best
service and maintaining good customer relations. The Company allocates customer service
personnel to manage the customer relationship.
•
Reliance on third parties - the Company is reliant on third parties to operate. These third parties
include cloud-based servers located around the world, external sales houses, outsourced technology
developers, advertising exchanges and other strategic partners. If these third parties fail to perform
as agreed could negatively affect our operations.
•
Personnel - The loss of any member of the Company’s management team, could have a material
adverse effect on its business and results of operations. The Company relies on its engineering
staff to develop its technology; operations staff to manage and operate the campaigns, its sales
teams to attract and retain key customers and its finance department staff to properly manage and
maintain the financial records and reporting thereof. The inability to hire, or the increased costs of
new personnel, or the cost to maintain existing personnel could have a material adverse effect on
the Company’s business and operating results. There is intense competition for capable personnel
in all of these areas, and the Company may not be successful in attracting, training, integrating,
motivating, or retaining new personnel, vendors, or subcontractors for these required functions.
The growth of the Company is dependent on hiring additional personnel so there is additional costs
in training these new personnel.
•
Children advertising - The Company is dependent on advertising to children so therefore is affected
by changes to this business segment. The Company is expanding into advertising to teens and
families and to be less reliant on advertising to children.
•
Market conditions - The economic uncertainty in the market has made and continues to make it
difficult for the Company to forecast revenue and operating results and to make decisions regarding
Page 6
operational cost structures and investments. The Company’s business depends on the overall
demand for advertising and on the economic health of its customers. Economic downturns or
unstable market conditions may cause the Company’s customers to decrease their advertising
budgets, which could reduce usage of the Company’s platform and adversely affect its business,
operating results, and financial condition.
•
Inappropriate advertisement - This is the risk that the Company serves an inappropriate
advertisement on behalf of its customers. To mitigate this risk all adverts are human reviewed
before the campaign commences.
•
Cybersecurity - Cybersecurity attacks, including breaches, computer malware and computer
hacking have become more prevalent recent years across all businesses. Any cybersecurity breach
caused by hacking, which involves efforts to gain unauthorized access to information or systems,
or to cause intentional malfunctions or loss or corruption of data, software, hardware or other
computer equipment, or the inadvertent transmission of computer viruses could adversely affect
the business, financial condition, results of operations or reputation of the Company. The Company
believes that it is taken reasonable steps to protect the security, integrity and confidentiality of the
information collected, used, stored and disclosed, but there is no guarantee that in the future
inadvertent (e.g., software bugs or other technical malfunctions, employee error or malfeasance, or
other factors) or unauthorized data access or use will not occur despite its efforts in the past and in
the future.
•
Technology - The Company’s future success is dependent on its ability to continue to develop and
expand its products and technologies and to address the needs of its customers. The Company
operates in an industry that is characterized by rapid technological change, frequent new product
and service introductions and enhancements, uncertain product life cycles, changes in customer
requirements, and evolving industry standards. The introduction of new products and new
technologies, the emergence of new industry standards, or improvements to existing technologies
could render the Company’s platform obsolete or relatively less competitive.
•
Outages - In addition, the Company operates 24/7 business so if outages were to occur it is critical
for the technology to be restored in a timely manner. Any delay in restoring the systems will have
a negative effect on its business, operating results, and financial condition.
•
Cloud based servers - The Company’s products and services involve storage using a third-party
cloud-based hosting service. Any damage to, or failure of, the hosting service’s systems generally
could result in interruptions in the use of the Company’s platform. Such interruptions may reduce
the Company’s revenue, and adversely the Company’s ability to attract new customers. The
Company’s business will also be harmed if its customers and potential customers believe its
products or services are unreliable.
•
Incorrect advertising – The Company is developing a teens and family platform under its Prado
brand. Therefore, there is the risk that an inappropriate advertisement is served to children, which
could result in fines to the Company and have a negative effect on its business, operating results,
and financial condition. The Company has put in internal controls that ensure no non children
advertisement is served to children.
Financial and Accounting Risks
•
Additional financing - There can be no certainty that the Company’s financial resources and
revenue from sales will be sufficient for its future needs. The Company may need to incur
significant expenses for growth, operations, research, and development, as well as sales and
marketing and other unforeseen costs. The ability of the Company to arrange such financing in the
future will depend in part upon the prevailing capital market conditions as well as the business
Page 7
performance of the Company. It may be difficult or impossible for the Company to obtain debt
financing or equity financing on commercially acceptable terms. In addition, the issuance of
common shares for an equity financing may have a negative effect on the existing shareholders of
the Company such as dilution or negative sentiments in the market to the equity financing.
•
Growth – Kidoz anticipates continued growth that could require substantial financial and other
resources to, among other things: (a) expand and develop product offerings; (b) improve
technological infrastructure, including investing in its technology (c) cover general and
administrative expenses, including legal, accounting, and other expenses; (d) cover sales and
marketing expenses, including a significant expansion of the Company’s direct sales organization.
Investment in these, however, may not yield anticipated returns. Consequently, as costs increase,
the Company may not be able to generate sufficient revenue to achieve or sustain profitability.
•
Payment risks – If our customers do not pay, or dispute their invoices, then the business, operating
results and financial condition may be adversely affected. In addition, if our customers do not pay
in a timely manner will our operating results and financial condition may be adversely affected.
•
Internal Controls - A failure to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial
reporting could harm the Company’s financial performance, its ability to raise capital and its
continued listing on the TSX Venture Exchange. In addition, the Company is a small company so
has limited segregation of duties. The Company is therefore reliant on the critical personnel and
an increase in the risk of the failure of internal controls.
•
Changes to GAAP – The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US
GAAP”). There is a risk that changes to US GAAP will negatively affect the Company in terms of
results and could become more difficult, time-consuming, or costly and increase demand on the
Company’s systems and resources to comply with this change.
Industry Risk
•
Competition – the advertising business is a highly competitive business. The Company offers niche
advertising in a highly regulated business. However, there are few barriers to existing large
advertising companies entering the market. Our existing customers could develop their own in-
house solutions and therefore no longer advertise with us.
•
Ad blockers – Consumers may load ad blocking software. This will affect our ability to serve
advertisements and will therefore reduce our revenue.
•
Failure to access advertising inventory – We must maintain a consistent supply of ad inventory.
Our success depends on our ability to secure inventory on reasonable terms in multiple locations.
The amount, quality, and cost of inventory available to the Company can change at any time. If our
relationships with any of our significant suppliers were to cease, or if the material terms of these
relationships were to change unfavourably, our business would be negatively impacted.
•
Fraud – The Company operates as a technology and services provider in a dynamic ecosystem
where fraud exists. Typical forms of fraud include robotic traffic, where robots mimic the
behaviour of users in order to inflate the number of impressions, clicks, post clicks actions or other
metrics associated with the ad. The Company reviews all ads and monitors the impression serving
with our suppliers.
•
Catastrophic events – We maintain cloud-based servers around the world, that deliver advertising
campaigns for our advertisers. Any of its existing and future facilities may be harmed or rendered
inoperable by attack or security intrusion by a computer hacker, natural or man-made disasters,
including earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes, wildfires, floods, nuclear disasters, war, acts of
Page 8
terrorism or other criminal activities, infectious disease outbreaks and power outages, any of which
may render it difficult or impossible for the Company to operate its business for some period of
time. The Company maintains backup and disaster recovery plans to get back up and running as
fast as possible.
•
Economic, Political and Market Conditions – Our business depends on the overall demand for
advertising and on the economic health of our current and prospective advertisers. Economic
downturns, including a recession, or instability in political or market conditions may cause current
or new advertisers to reduce their advertising budgets. These conditions are impacted by events
outside of the Company’s control, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, may have a long-term impact
on the global economy. Adverse economic conditions and general uncertainty about continued
economic recovery are likely to affect the Company’s business prospects. This uncertainty may
cause general business conditions to deteriorate or become volatile, which could cause advertisers
to delay, decrease or cancel campaigns, and expose the Company to increased credit risk on
advertiser orders, which, in turn, could negatively impact its business, financial condition and
results of operations. In addition, continued geopolitical turmoil in many parts of the world have
and may continue to put pressure on global economic conditions, which could lead to reduced
spending on advertising.
Risks Related to the Common Shares and Corporate and Securities Law
•
Market for common shares – The shares of the Company are illiquid. The Company has made
efforts to improve the exposure of the Company through its stock awareness initiatives and
create a more active market for its shares. There are no assurances that our Stock Awareness
efforts will be effective.
•
Volatility in the market - Technology stocks have historically experienced high levels of
volatility, and we cannot predict the prices at which our common shares will trade. Fluctuations
in the market price of our common shares could cause an investor to lose all or part of their
investment in our common shares. These fluctuations in the market price and volatility of our
common shares can be caused by factors outside the control of the Company such the
following:
o The volatility in the market price and trading volume of technology companies in
general especially large companies in the digital advertising industry (e.g. Google and
Meta);
o Changes in regulatory developments in Canada and the United States;
o General economic conditions and trends, including global financial markets, global
economies and general market conditions, such as interest rates and tariffs;
o Major catastrophic events (e.g. the war in the Ukraine and Gaza);
o Unexpected market reactions to the Company announcements;
o Trade wars and trade tariffs.
As a result, share prices of many technology companies have fluctuated in a manner unrelated or
disproportionate to the operating performance of those companies. In general, in the past,
shareholders have filed securities class action litigation following periods of market volatility. If
Kidoz were to become involved in securities litigation, it could subject it to substantial costs, divert
resources and the attention of management from our business, and adversely affect our business.

Our advanced contextual targeting technology ensures brand messages are relevant, engaging, and

Kidoz in an increasingly automated, yet regulation-heavy, market.

Product Strategy
Kidoz builds and maintains the Kidoz Safe Ad Network, the Kidoz SDK, and the Kidoz Privacy Shield,
enabling app developers and global advertisers to reach children and families in a compliant and brand-safe
way. The Kidoz SDK remains the core of our proprietary advertising technology, providing a secure and
efficient platform for delivering premium ad impressions. Our systems are fully compliant with COPPA,
GDPR-K, and additional child privacy regulations worldwide, maintaining the highest safety standards in
the industry.
In 2024, Kidoz made continuous investments in its proprietary systems, further optimizing supply paths
and enhancing performance through advanced integrations with IAB specifications for real-time bidding,
header bidding, and server-to-server direct connections. These improvements not only support the kids'
marketplace but also broaden our reach across the entire digital advertising landscape.
Our managed programmatic solution, combined with direct connections to premium apps and programmatic
demand sources, continues to be a key differentiator. Agency partners are increasingly utilizing our
solutions to access high-quality mobile inventory at scale, benefiting from our enhanced efficiency, superior
performance, and unwavering commitment to brand safety.
During 2024, Prado (www.prado.co), our division for audiences Over 13 years of age, gained traction as a
high-performance mobile SSP, DSP, and Ad Exchange. Prado’s programmatic capabilities now power
large-scale campaigns across thousands of apps, simplifying digital advertising for agencies and brands
targeting teens, families, and general audiences. Kidoz engineers have ensured complete separation
between Prado and our kid-safe network, preserving the integrity of our child protection systems while
enabling Kidoz to enter the broader, significantly larger digital ad market. Prado’s growth, alongside
Kidoz’s internal safeguards, guarantees that no inappropriate content ever reaches young audiences.
Marketing & Distribution Strategy
In 2024, Kidoz strengthened its position as the trusted partner for leading global app publishers seeking
compliant and high-performance monetization solutions. Our SDK has become an essential component for
many of the world’s largest and most respected developers, who have integrated our technology into their
platforms to ensure safe and effective advertising experiences for their users.
A key part of our strategy is an ongoing investment in compliance education and support for our partners.
As regulations continue to evolve, Kidoz is proactively working with publishers to help them stay ahead of
the curve. By aligning with Kidoz, developers gain not only access to premium demand and higher yields
but also the reassurance that they are meeting the highest global privacy and safety standards.
This trusted reputation, combined with our focus on fostering direct relationships with top-tier publishers,
has expanded our distribution footprint and further solidified Kidoz’s leadership in the kids and family
digital advertising ecosystem.
Sales & Pricing Strategy
Kidoz’s global agency partnership model continues to deliver success. In 2024, Kidoz launched campaigns
in 60 countries, reflecting the scalability and appeal of our solutions. Our strategy of recruiting top-tier
international sales houses has been instrumental in building a reliable network of partners who recognize
the value of Kidoz’s premium inventory. These partnerships have resulted in repeat campaigns and
expanded allocations from major brands that increasingly shift larger portions of their media budgets to
Kidoz.
As more brands experience our superior performance and efficiency, they deepen their investments with
us. Our programmatic capabilities, in both Kidoz and Prado, open new opportunities for brands targeting
parents and teens in addition to children, further diversifying our revenue streams and solidifying our
leadership position in the digital advertising space.
Page 11
Growth Strategy
Kidoz’s growth in 2024 was driven by our alignment with regulatory, consumer, and technological trends.
Our mission remains clear: “to deliver best-in-class advertising solutions that prioritize privacy, comply
with Apple, Google, and stringent global regulations, and provide publishers with safe, effective
monetization options.” Our proprietary contextual advertising model continues to outperform alternatives,
ensuring that user data is protected while delivering high engagement for advertisers.
A key growth driver in 2024 was the increased use of Kidoz as a performance platform for app developers
seeking to scale installs on a cost-per-install (CPI) basis. As the CPI market, estimated at over US$120B
annually, expands, Kidoz is capturing more share by advancing our software and systems to support this
high-growth segment.
Alongside our core media business, the successful expansion of Prado into the teen and family markets has
added new revenue streams. Our latest product, Kidoz Connect, has enhanced our ability to scale
programmatic campaigns across both Kidoz and Prado networks, providing advertisers with unmatched
reach and performance.
Looking forward, while our primary focus remains on the continued development of the Kidoz Safe Ad
Network, we are exploring strategic opportunities, including new connections to the wider mobile
advertising market and potential synergistic acquisitions, to sustain and accelerate our growth trajectory.

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS
The following discussion and analysis is based on and should be read in conjunction with our consolidated
financial statements, including the related notes, and the other financial information included in this
Report. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our current plans,
estimates and beliefs and involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from
those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such
differences include those discussed below and elsewhere in this Report.
Kidoz Inc. (TSXV:KIDZ) is the leading Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”) and General
Data Protection Regulation for children (“GDPR-K”) compliant mobile advertising network, dedicated to
providing safe, contextual advertising experiences for kids, teens, and families. Google certified and Apple
approved, Kidoz has become the trusted partner of the world’s largest brands, including Mattel, Lego, and
Disney, helping them engage young audiences across thousands of popular mobile apps in a secure and
privacy-forward manner.
At the heart of our solution is the Kidoz Safe Ad Network and Software Development Kit (“SDK”),
integrated into thousands of apps worldwide. Unlike traditional digital advertising platforms, Kidoz never
collects location data or Personally Identifiable Information (“PII”). Instead, we leverage advanced
contextual targeting to deliver relevant, high-performance campaigns without compromising user privacy.
This approach has positioned Kidoz as the market leader in the growing segment of contextual mobile
advertising.
2024 was a pivotal year for Kidoz. Building on years of consistent growth, we achieved near record
revenues, expanded our global publisher base, and increased advertiser budgets allocated to our platform.
Page 13
Our ongoing investments in proprietary technology, including supply path optimization and the Kidoz
Privacy Shield, have further enhanced our ability to deliver safe, efficient, and effective campaigns for our
brand partners. This leadership has strengthened our network’s reputation as the go-to destination for
compliant mobile advertising solutions.
Kidoz is also expanding beyond its core kids' audience. Prado, our wholly owned division, enables brands
to reach the broader family demographic, including teens and parents. Launched in 2023, Prado’s high-
performance supply-side platform (“SSP”), demand-side platform (“DSP”), and Ad Exchange have gained
traction, allowing Kidoz to offer end-to-end media solutions across all age groups. Our proprietary systems
ensure a strict separation between Prado and the Kidoz kids network, maintaining the highest levels of child
safety while unlocking new revenue streams from the wider $400+ billion mobile advertising market.
The global shift of media budgets from linear TV to mobile platforms continues to accelerate, and Kidoz is
well-positioned to benefit. Regulatory trends favor privacy-compliant platforms like ours, and with
governments in key regions tightening data privacy laws, we expect continued momentum. Our
compliance-first approach and contextual model are aligned with these evolving standards, providing a
significant competitive advantage.
As we move into 2025, Kidoz remains focused on scaling its programmatic capabilities, growing our Cost
Per Install (“CPI”) performance business, and deepening relationships with premium app publishers. We
are exploring strategic opportunities to expand our footprint, whether through broader applications of our
technology or synergistic M&A. Our headcount increased from 43 to 49 in 2024 to support this growth,
and we anticipate further expansion as demand for safe, high-performance mobile advertising continues to
rise.

Dollars, the Company’s functional currency.

Year Ended December 31, 2024, Compared with Year Ended December 31, 2023
Revenue
Total revenue, net of platform fees (to Apple, Google and Amazon) and withholding taxes, for the year
ended December 31, 2024, increased to $14,004,527, an increase of 5% over total revenue net of fees and
withholding taxes of to $13,326,824 for fiscal 2023.
The increase in total revenue over fiscal 2023 is due to an increase in demand as a result of our initiatives
to create high-performance advertising solutions in gaming apps.
Selling and marketing expenses
Sales and marketing expenses for the year ended December 31, 2024, were $1,465833, an increase of 16%
over selling and marketing expenses of $1,268,218 for fiscal 2023. The increase in sales and marketing
expenses over fiscal 2023 is due to an increase in sales and marketing staff to manage the anticipated growth
in the Direct, Programmatic and Performance segments of our Ad tech business and an increase in sales
commissions as a result of our increase in revenue. Selling and marketing expenses consist primarily of
sales staff salaries and benefits, publishing services and sales commissions.
We expect to incur increased sales and marketing expenses in selling the Ad tech advertising and to grow
the Ad tech advertising revenue. There can be no assurances that these expenditures will result in increased
traffic or significant additional revenue.
Software technology development
We do not capitalize our development costs. Software technology development costs of $3,445,018 were
expensed for year ended December 31, 2024, an increase of 15% from software technology development
costs of $2,999,079 expensed for fiscal 2023. These increases over fiscal 2023, is due to the hiring of
additional development staff and the outsourcing of certain software development to increase the
development of our base technologies.
Page 15
General and administrative expenses
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of legal and professional fees, premise cost for our
Israeli office and development facilities, and other general corporate and office expenses. General and
administrative expenses increased to $689,407 for the year ended December 31, 2024, an increase of 2%
over general and administrative expenses of $673,654 in fiscal 2023. The increase in general and
administrative expenses is due an increase in fees paid to our professional advisors.
We expect to continue to incur general and administrative expenses to support the business, and there can
be no assurances that we will be able to generate sufficient revenue to cover these expenses.
Salaries, wages, consultants, and benefits
Salaries, wages, consultants, and benefits decreased to $622,394 for the year ended December 31, 2024, a
decrease of 12% over salaries, wages, consultants, and benefits of $705,830 for fiscal 2023. The decrease
in salaries, wages, consultants, and benefits over fiscal 2023, is due to a decrease in the consultants
employed by the Company in 2024.
Depreciation and amortization
Intangible assets are amortized using a straight-line method over three to eight years. These intangible
assets include customer lists, and the software development kits (“SDK”) for our advertising platform.
These intangible assets are as result of the acquisition of Kidoz Ltd. The amortization for the year ended
December 31, 2024, was $232,835 compared to $545,737 in fiscal 2023. The decline is amortization for
the year ended December 31, 2024, is due the full amortization of SDK technology during the year ended
December 31, 2024.
Equipment is depreciated using the declining balance method over the useful lives of the assets, ranging
from three to five years. Depreciation increased to $11,344 during the year ended December 31, 2024, over
depreciation of $13,002 in fiscal 2023. This decrease in depreciation and amortization compared to fiscal
2023, is due to the aging of our equipment.
Stock-based compensation expense

of $379,247 compared to non-cash stock compensation expenses of $515,116 for fiscal 2023. During the

options granted in fiscal 2024 and 2023, are issued to consultants and employees as per the Company’s
amended 2015 Rolling Stock Option Plan. The non-cash stock compensation program is an integral part
of the Companies overall Staff Compensation Program.
Stock awareness program
During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company commenced a corporate stock awareness program.
The Company engaged Research Capital Corporation, Agora Internet Relations Corp., and Proactive for
financial and capital markets advisory services and to assist with general market outreach to increase

to $84,952 in the prior year.
Page 16
Other income and expenses
During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company has a foreign exchange loss of ($88,701)
compared to foreign exchange gain of $1,139 in the prior year. These gains are due to the exchange rate
movements of the US Dollar compared to the Pound Sterling, Israeli Shekel, European Euro, and the
Canadian Dollar. The Company does not hedge its cash assets.
During the year ended December 31, 2024, we received interest income of $643 compared to interest
income of $1,049 in the prior year. The interest income is received from bank term deposits from investing
our cash. The decrease in interest income is due the lower long term deposit balance which was required
for our Vancouver office lease which ended during the year ended December 31, 2024.
During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company had a gain on the derivative liability – warrants
of $51. This derivative liability – warrants results from the issuance of the 230,000 warrants to Research
Capital Corporation during the year ended December 31, 2021, and which expired unexercised in the year
ended December 31, 2023.
Amortization of right-of-use assets
On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASC Topic 842 using the modified retrospective transition
method. Topic 842 requires the recognition of lease assets and liabilities for operating leases. The Company
recognized right-of-use assets relating to the brand licenses and the Vancouver, Canada office rental.
During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company amortized $6,781 compared to right-of-use assets
amortization of $26,828 and $2,920 expired on the Anguillian lease in fiscal 2023. During the year ended

During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company had a tax expense of ($158,580) compared to a
tax recovery of $25,978 in fiscal 2023. During the year ended December 31, 2023, our Israeli subsidiary
was officially recognized as a Preferred Technology Enterprise in Israel, a prestigious status that comes
with extensive tax relief benefits as provided by law and applied to the fiscal 2024 and 2023 tax year.
During the year ended December 31, 2024, the subsidiaries of the Company had a tax expense of $79,161
compared to a tax expense of $924 in fiscal 2023.
During the year ended December 31, 2005, Bingo.com, Inc. merged with its subsidiary Bingo.com, Ltd. in
Anguilla, British West Indies. Anguilla is a zero-tax jurisdiction. During the year ended December 31,
2023, Kidoz Inc. continued out of the jurisdiction of the Anguillian Business Companies Act, 2022, and
into the jurisdiction of the Canada Business Corporations Act (“CBCA”) and is now a Canadian taxpayer.
Net income (loss) and income (loss) per share
The net income after taxation for the year ended December 31, 2024, amounted to $353,140, an income of
$0.00 per share, compared to a net loss of ($2,012,056) a loss of ($0.02) per share, in the year ended
December 31, 2023. The net income increased for the year ended December 31, 2024, due to an increase
in revenue and efficiencies in operations, despite an increase in staff costs. This increase in staff costs is
due to the hiring of additional development staff and sales and marketing personnel to increase the
development of our base technology and increase our sales and account management respectively.
Year Ended December 31, 2023, Compared with Year Ended December 31, 2022
Revenue
Total revenue, net of platform fees (to Apple, Google and Amazon) and withholding taxes, for the year
ended December 31, 2023, decreased to $13,326,824, a decrease of 12% over total revenue net of fees and
withholding taxes of to $15,097,056 for fiscal 2022.
Page 17
The decrease in total revenue over fiscal 2022 is due to the overall weakness in the general market and the
loss of some campaigns from fiscal 2022 which did not renew in fiscal 2023. Management believes that
distortions in the overall market in fiscal 2022 existed due to COVID and returned to normal in fiscal 2023.
Selling and marketing expenses
Sales and marketing expenses for the year ended December 31, 2023, were $1,268,218, an increase of 22%
over selling and marketing expenses of $1,039,713 for fiscal 2022. The increase in sales and marketing
expenses over fiscal 2022 is due to an increase in sales and marketing staff to manage the anticipated growth
in the Direct, Programmatic and Performance segments of our Ad tech business. Selling and marketing
expenses consist primarily of sales staff salaries and benefits and publishing services and user acquisition
costs incurred to acquire game players.
Software technology development
We do not capitalize our development costs. Software technology development costs of $2,999,079 were
expensed for year ended December 31, 2023, an increase of 20% from software technology development
costs of $2,496,877 expensed for fiscal 2022. These increases over fiscal 2022, is due to the hiring of

we have expanded our global reach our server costs have increased.

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of legal and professional fees, premises costs for our

administrative expenses decreased to $673,654 for the year ended December 31, 2023, a decrease of 11%
over general and administrative expenses of $760,936 in fiscal 2022. The decrease in general and
administrative expenses is due a decrease in fees paid to our professional advisors and a decrease in legal
and filing fees as a result of the Normal Course Issuer Bid and the continuation of the Company out of
Anguilla and into Canada incurred in fiscal 2022.
Salaries, wages, consultants, and benefits
Salaries, wages, consultants, and benefits decreased to $705,830 for the year ended December 31, 2023, a

Depreciation and amortization
Intangible assets are amortized using a straight-line method over three to eight years. These intangible
assets include customer lists, the technology for Kidoz OS and the software development kits (“SDK”) for
our advertising platform. These intangible assets are as result of the acquisition of Kidoz Ltd. The
amortization for the year ended December 31, 2023, was $545,737 compared to $547,460 in fiscal 2022.
The decline is amortization for the year ended December 31, 2023, is due the full amortization of the Kidoz
OS technology.
Equipment is depreciated using the declining balance method over the useful lives of the assets, ranging
from three to five years. Depreciation increased to $13,002 during the year ended December 31, 2023, over
depreciation of $9,807 in fiscal 2022. This increase in depreciation and amortization compared to fiscal
2022, is due to the acquisition of new equipment and the write-off of old equipment.

The Company engaged Research Capital Corporation, Agora Internet Relations Corp., Stockhouse
Publishing Ltd. and Proactive for financial and capital markets advisory services and to assist with general

and grow its investor base. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company discontinued its stock
awareness program with Proactive and with Stockhouse Publishing Ltd. in fiscal 2022.
The Company incurred stock awareness expenses of $146,300 for year ended December 31, 2023, a
decrease of 9% from stock awareness expenses of $161,332 expensed for fiscal 2022. The decrease in
Stock Awareness expenses compared to fiscal 2022 is due to the planned reduction in stock awareness
commitments and the discontinuance with Proactive.
Other income and expenses
During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company has a foreign exchange gain of $1,139 compared
to foreign exchange loss of ($142,857) in the prior year. These gains are due to the exchange rate

Canadian Dollar. The Company does not hedge its cash assets.
During the year ended December 31, 2023, we received interest income of $1,049 compared to interest
income of $185 in the prior year. The interest income is received from bank term deposits from investing
our cash. The increase in interest income is due to an increase in interest rates and higher bank account
balances in interest earning bank accounts in fiscal 2023 compared to fiscal 2022.
During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company had a gain on the derivative liability – warrants
of $51 compared to gain on the derivative liability – warrants of $23,314 in fiscal 2022. This derivative

2023.

Net Cash generated from Operations and Adjusted EBITDA
Due to our focus on maintaining a strong balance sheet while striving to continue our rapid growth on an
annual basis and to evaluate our performance and make financial and operational decisions accordingly we
pay close attention to our net cash generated from operations and our adjusted EBITDA.
Our net cash provided by operations for the year ended December 31, 2024, was $1,305,230 compared to
cash used in operations of ($823,640) in the prior year. This increase cash provided was due to the increase
in revenue.

awareness program; stock-based compensation and impairment of goodwill (“Adjusted EBITDA”) for the
year ended December 31, 2024, amounted to an income of $1,134,503 compared to an Adjusted EBITDA

We use Adjusted EBITDA internally to evaluate our performance and make financial and operational
decisions that are presented in a manner that adjusts from their equivalent GAAP measures or that
supplement the information provided by our GAAP measures. Adjusted EBITDA is defined by us as
EBITDA (net income (loss) plus depreciation expense, amortization expense, interest, stock-based
compensation, and impairment of goodwill), further adjusted to exclude certain non-cash expenses and
other adjustments. We use Adjusted EBITDA because we believe it more clearly highlights business trends
that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on GAAP financial measures, since Adjusted
EBITDA eliminates from our results specific financial items that have less bearing on our core operating
performance.
Adjusted EBITDA is not presented in accordance with, or as an alternative to, GAAP financial measures
and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. These non-GAAP measures
should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). We encourage
investors to review the GAAP financial measures included in this Annual Report, including our
consolidated financial statements, to aid in their analysis and understanding of our performance and in
making comparisons.
B.

objectives. Although the Company has relied on revenue generated through its business, external funding
may be required to continue growing the existing business and scaling operations. There can be no
assurance that adequate funding will be available in the future, or under terms that are favorable to the
Company.

D.
Employees
As of December 31, 2024, we had 49 employees, consultants, and independent contractors throughout the
world including twenty six full-time employees in Canada, Israel and the United Kingdom. Since 2006 it
has been, and continues to be, the Company’s objective to control its costs by retaining consultants, as
needed, to provide special expertise in developing internal strategic, marketing, accounting, and technical
services. None of our employees or consultants are represented by a labor union, and we believe that our
relationship with our employees and consultants is good.
We are substantially dependent upon the continued services and performance of J. M. Williams, Chief
Executive Officer; Eldad Ben Tora, President & General Manager EMEA and T. M. Williams, Chairman.
The loss of the services of these key individuals would have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition, and results of operations. We do not carry any key man life insurance on any
individuals.

Canadian Federal Income Tax Consequences
The following summarizes the principal Canadian federal income tax consequences applicable to the
holding and disposition of common shares in the capital of the Company by a non Canadian residents, and
who holds common shares solely as capital property. This summary is based on the current provisions of
the Income Tax Act (Canada), referred to as the “Tax Act”, the regulations thereunder, all amendments
thereto publicly proposed by the government of Canada, the published administrative practices of Revenue
Canada, Customs, Excise and Taxation, and the current provisions of the Canada-United States Income Tax
Convention, 1980, as amended, referred to as the “Treaty”. Except as otherwise expressly provided, this
summary does not take into account any provincial, territorial or foreign (including without limitation, any
United States) tax law or treaty. It has been assumed that all currently proposed amendments will be enacted
substantially as proposed and that there is no other relevant change in any governing law or practice,
although no assurance can be given in theses respects.
Each non Canadian shareholder is advised to obtain tax and legal advice applicable to such their particular
circumstances.
Every non-Canadian shareholder is liable to pay a Canadian withholding tax on every dividend that is or is
deemed to be paid or credited to the non-Canadian shareholder on the non-Canadian shareholder common
shares. The statutory rate of withholding tax is 25% of the gross amount of the dividend paid. There are
treaties which reduces the statutory rate with respect to dividends paid to a non-Canadian shareholder for
the purposes of the treaties. Where applicable, the general rate of withholding tax under the treaties is 15%
of the gross amount of the dividend. The Company is required to withhold the applicable tax from the
dividend payable to the non-Canadian shareholder, and to remit the tax to the Receiver General of Canada
for the account of the non-Canadian shareholder.
Pursuant to the Tax Act, a non-Canadian shareholder will not be subject to Canadian capital gains tax on
any capital gain realized on an actual or deemed disposition of a common share, including a deemed
disposition on death, provided that the non-Canadian shareholder did not hold the common share as capital
property used in carrying on a business in Canada, and that neither the non-Canadian shareholder nor
Page 33
persons with whom the non-Canadian shareholder did not deal at arms-length (alone or together) owned or
had the right or an option to acquire 25% or more of the issued shares of any class of the Company at any
time in the five years immediately preceding the disposition.

ITEM 11.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET
RISK
The Company is exposed to various financial risks resulting from both its operations. The Company does
not enter into financial instrument agreements including derivative financial instruments for speculative
purposes. The fair values of the Company’s financial instruments approximate the carrying values, due to
their short terms to maturity or attached market rates of interest. The Company is exposed to various risks
related to its financial instruments as follows:
(i)
Market risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as interest rates and foreign exchange
rates, will affect the Company’s net income and the value of financial instruments. The
objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within
acceptable limits, while maximizing returns.
(ii)
Foreign exchange risk
The Company has exposure to foreign exchange risk which is the risk that the fair value or
future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign
exchange rates. Foreign exchange risk arises when future commercial transactions and
recognized assets and liabilities are denominated in a currency that is not the Company’s
functional currency. The Company has not entered into foreign exchange purchase contracts
to manage its foreign exchange risk, because, in management’s view, the cost of setting up the
contracts is in excess of the risks associated with a sudden change in the exchange rates.
Management continually monitors the exchange rates and will enter into risk prevention
measures when warranted. The Company is also exposed to foreign exchange risk on its cash,
accounts receivable and accounts payable balances that are mostly denominated in U.S. dollars
and Euros, whereas our employment and consulting costs are mostly denominated in Israeli
Shekels, British Pounds, Canadian Dollars, and US Dollars.
(iii)
Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the
other party by failing to discharge an obligation. The Company is subject to credit risk with
respect to cash and accounts receivable. The Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk at
the end of the reporting period is the carrying value of these assets. Credit risk is managed
through a credit approval process and monitoring procedures, and there are no expected credit
losses.
All cash balances are held at a major banking institutions in Israel, United Kingdom and Canada
and management believes the risk of loss to be remote.
(iv)
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that arises when the maturity of assets and the maturity of liabilities
do not match. An unmatched position potentially enhances profitability but can also increase
the risk of loss. The Company’s liquidity needs can be met through a variety of sources. The
Company generates cash from operations, and in the past by issuances of common shares. The
Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining sufficient cash balances to meet liabilities
when due and by continuously monitoring actual and forecast cash flows.

ITEM 12:
DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES OTHER THAN EQUITY SECURITIES
Stock Option Plans
In the year ended December 31, 2015, the 1999, 2001 and 2005 Stock Option Plans were discontinued and
replaced with the 2015 Stock Option Plan. During the year ended December 31, 2024, a new 10% “rolling”
stock option plan (the “2024 Stock Option Plan”) that complies with the updated TSX Policy 4.4 was
approved by the TSX-V, the Board of Directors and the Company’s shareholders. The 2024 Stock Option
Plan will replace 2015 Stock Option Plan. Options granted under the 2015 Stock Option Plan will continue
to be governed by the 2015 Stock Option Plan. The 2015 Stock Option plan will continue to exist until the
stock options granted under the 2015 Stock Option are exercised, cancelled or expire. All new stock option
grants will be made under the 2024 Stock Option Plan.
Our Board of Directors administers the 2015 and 2024 Stock Option Plan. Our Board is authorized to
construe and interpret the provisions of the Stock Option Plans, to select employees, directors, and
consultants to whom options will be granted, to determine the terms and conditions of options and, with the
consent of the grantee, to amend the terms of any outstanding options. The 2015 and 2024 Stock Option
Plan provides for the granting of stock options to the employees, directors, advisors, and consultants of the
Corporation to encourage proprietary interest in the Corporation, to encourage such employees to remain
in the employ of the Corporation or such directors, advisors and consultants to remain in the service of the
Corporation, and to attract new employees, directors, advisors and consultants with outstanding
qualifications.
Our Board determines the terms and provisions of each option granted under the Stock Option Plans,
including the exercise price, vesting schedule, repurchase provisions, rights of first refusal and form of
payment. The Plans shall not exceed 10% of the number of Shares of the Company issued and outstanding
as of each Award Date, inclusive of all Shares presently reserved for issuance pursuant to previously granted
stock options, unless shareholder approval is obtained in advance. The Exercise Price shall be that price per
Share, as determined by the Board in its sole discretion, and announced as of the Award Date, at which an
Option Holder may purchase a Share upon the exercise of an Option, provided that it shall not be less than
the closing price of the Company’s Shares traded through the facilities of the Exchange on the day preceding
the Award Date, less any discount permitted by the Exchange, or such other price as may be required or
permitted by the Exchange. The 2024 Plan sets the minimum exercise price per Common Share shall not
be less than the “Discounted Market Price” (as defined in TSX-V Policy 1.1 – Interpretations) allowed by
the TSX-V.
The term of options under the Stock Option Plans will be determined by our Board; however, the term of
the stock option may not be for more than ten years. Where the award agreement permits the exercise of
an option for a period of time following the recipient's termination of service with us, disability, or death,
that option will terminate to the extent not exercised or purchased on the last day of the specified period or
the last day of the original term of the option, whichever occurs first.
If a third party acquires the Company through the purchase of all or substantially all of our assets, a merger
or other business combination, except as otherwise provided in an individual award agreement, all
unexercised options will terminate unless assumed by the successor corporation.
During the year ended December 31, 2024, 2,318,750 options were granted to employees and consultants
with an exercise price of CAD$0.20 ($0.14) where 2% vests per month. 1,056,250 options of these options
were granted to directors and officers of the Company.
During the year ended December 31, 2024, 25,000 options were cancelled. Subsequent to the year ended
December 31, 2024, 65,000 options were cancelled.
Page 37
During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company granted 1,885,000 options to employees and
consultants with an exercise price of CAD$0.30 ($0.23) where 2% vests per month. 400,000 of these
options were granted to directors and officers of the Company.
During the year ended December 31, 2023, there were nil (2022 – nil) options exercised and 460,000 (2022
– 285,600) options cancelled and 1,988,000 (2022 – 506,150) options expired unexercised.
Warrants
The Company granted 230,000 common share purchase warrants to Research Capital Corporation (“RCC”)
in the year ended December 31, 2022. Each warrant will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one common
share in the capital of the Company at an exercise price of $0.77 (CAD$0.98) at any time up to 24 months
following the date of issuance and expired unexercised on April 1, 2023.
The Equity Awards Plan
Subsequent to the year ended December 31, 2024 the Company initiated The Equity Awards Plan to
complement the 2024 Stock Option Plan as an integral part of the Companies overall compensation plan.
The Equity Awards Plan is a fixed 10% plan under which the Company may issue such number of security-
based compensation (other than options) up to 10% of the issued and outstanding shares as of the date the
Equity Awards Plan is implemented.
The plan is subject to the following limits (in addition to the 10% fixed cap) for so long as the Shares are
listed and posted for trading on the TSXV: (i) not more than two (2%) percent of the Company's issued and
outstanding Shares, inclusive of Shares issuable pursuant to all Security Based Compensation granted or
issued, may be granted to any one Consultant in any 12 month period; (ii) unless the Company has obtained
Disinterested Shareholder Approval, not more than five (5%) percent of the Company's issued and
outstanding Shares, inclusive of Shares issuable pursuant to all Security Based Compensation granted or
issued, may be issued to any one Person in any 12 month period; (iii) Investor Relations Service Providers
shall not be eligible to receive any Awards; (iv) the aggregate number of Shares issuable to Insiders at any
time under this Plan, inclusive of Shares issuable pursuant to all Security Based Compensation granted or
issued, unless the Company has obtained Disinterested Shareholder Approval, shall not exceed ten (10%)
percent of the Company's issued and outstanding Shares; (v) the aggregate number of Shares issuable to
Insiders within any one (1) year period under this Plan, inclusive of Shares issuable pursuant to all Security
Based Compensation granted or issued, unless the Company has obtained Disinterested Shareholder
Approval, shall not exceed ten (10%) percent of the Company's issued and outstanding Share.
The Equity Awards Plan has been approved by the Toronto Venture Stock Exchange (“TSXV”) subject to
affirmation by the Company’s Shareholders at the next Annual General Shareholder meeting. Grants under
the plan may be awarded but not exercised until such affirmation is received.

ITEM 15: CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a)
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of
our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities
Page 38
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this report, have concluded that,
as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that the information required
in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and
such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive
officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
(b)
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management, including the Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, and the Chief Financial Officer, is
responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal
control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended, as a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of
financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect
misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that
the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance
with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Our management evaluated of the effectiveness of the Company’s design and operation of its disclosure
controls and procedures as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f), based on the framework set forth in
the Internal Control—Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). Based on our evaluation, we believe that, as of
December 31, 2024, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is effective under the COSO
framework.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
We are organized under the laws of Canada, and our Common Shares are listed for trading on the TSX
Venture Stock Exchange (“TSX-V”) under the symbol “KIDZ”. We comply with the applicable laws of
Canada and rules and regulations of the TSX-V, including rules related to corporate governance practices.
Page 40
General
Corporate governance refers to the policies and structure of the board of directors of a company whose
members are elected by and are accountable to the shareholders of the Company. Corporate governance
encourages establishing a reasonable degree of independence of the board of directors from executive
management and the adoption of policies to ensure the board of directors recognizes the principles of good
management. The Board of the Company is committed to sound corporate governance practices, as such
practices are both in the interests of shareholders and help to contribute to effective and efficient decision-
making.
Board of Directors
Directors are considered to be independent if they have no direct or indirect material relationship with the
Company. A “material relationship” is 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.
The non-independent members of the Board of the Company are as follows:
Tryon (Tarrnie) Williams
Chairman
Jason Williams
CEO
Eldad Ben Tora
President & General Manager EMEA
The independent, non-executive members of the Board of the Company are as follows:
Claes Kalborg
Moshe David
Fiona Curtis
Management has been delegated the responsibility for meeting defined corporate objectives, implementing
approved strategic and operating plans, carrying on the Company’s business in the ordinary course,
managing cash flow, evaluating new business opportunities, recruiting staff, and complying with applicable
regulatory requirements. The board facilitates its independent supervision over management by reviewing
and approving long-term strategic, business and capital plans, material contracts and business transactions,
and all debt and equity financing transactions. Through its audit committee, the Board examines the
effectiveness of the Company’s internal control processes and management information systems.
Board Meetings
The Company holds regular Board meetings which include presentations by the Company’s management
to give the directors additional insight into the Company’s business.
Ethical Business Conduct
The Board is of the view that the fiduciary duties placed on individual directors by the Company’s
governing corporate legislation and the common law are sufficient to ensure that the Board operates
independently of management and in the best interests of the Company.
Nomination of Directors
The Board reviews its size each year. 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. Current board members
stand for 1 year until re-election at the next board meeting.
Assessments
The Board monitors the adequacy of information given to directors, communication between the Board and
management and the strategic direction and processes of the Board and committees. The Board has frequent
communications with management and other board members and is regularly consulted on important
Company decisions. In this context, the Board periodically reviews the performance of the Board as a
Page 41
whole, any standing committees it has appointed, and individual directors, to ensure each is performing
effectively.
Quorum
A quorum of shareholders is present at a meeting of shareholders if the holders of not less than 33 1/3% of
the shares entitled to vote at the meeting are present in person or represented by proxy (including
electronically), irrespective of the number of persons actually present at the meeting.

ITEM 16K.
CYBERSECURITY
At Kidoz Inc., cybersecurity risk management is an integral part of our overall enterprise risk management
program. Our cybersecurity risk management program is designed to align with industry practices and
provide a framework for handling cybersecurity threats and incidents. We identify and assess risks from
cybersecurity threats as part of our overall risk assessment process. We have implemented certain tools
and processes to aid us in our efforts to identify, assess, prevent, and manage such cybersecurity risks. In
addition to our own expertise, we also collaborate with subject matter specialists, as necessary, to gather
insights for identifying and assessing cybersecurity threat risks, their likelihood and severity, and potential
preventative measures and mitigations.
Our framework includes steps for (i) assessing the severity of a cybersecurity threat, (ii) identifying the
source of a cybersecurity threat, (iii) implementing cybersecurity countermeasures and mitigation strategies
and (iv) informing management of material cybersecurity threats and incidents.
Our cybersecurity team engages as needed our Cyber Security division experts for risk assessment and
system enhancements. In addition, our cybersecurity team is involved in annual training.
Our Board of Directors has overall oversight responsibility for our risk management and delegates the daily
supervision of cybersecurity issues to our VP Product. Our VP Product reports material cybersecurity
incidents to the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and if needed, the Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer will report the incident to our Board of Directors to take appropriate and timely measures in
response to the incident.
Our management is responsible for identifying, considering, and assessing material cybersecurity risks on
an ongoing basis, establishing processes to ensure that such potential cybersecurity risk exposures are
monitored, putting in place appropriate mitigation measures and maintaining cybersecurity programs. We
established our data security management committee (the “Data Security Management Committee”) in
2021, composed of personnel from our cyber-Security division, IT center, and management team, to
improve data security. The Data Security Management Committee is responsible for developing data
security protection strategies, plans, and systems and providing required support and coordinating on major
data security incidents. Our cybersecurity programs are under the direction of our VP Product who receives
Page 42
reports from our cybersecurity team and monitors the prevention, detection, mitigation, and remediation of
cybersecurity incidents. Our VP Product and other dedicated personnel are experienced information
systems professionals with many years of experience in maintaining cybersecurity.
During the year ended December 31, 2024, we did not identify any cybersecurity threats that have materially
affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our business strategy, results of operations, or financial
condition. However, despite our efforts, we cannot eliminate all risks from cybersecurity threats, or provide
assurances that we have not experienced an undetected cybersecurity incident. For more information about
these risks, see “Item 3. Key Information — 3.D. Risk Factors — Risks Related to Our Business —
Breaches of network or information technology security, natural disasters or terrorist attacks could have an
adverse effect on our business.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING
FIRM
To the Shareholders and Directors of
Kidoz Inc.
Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Kidoz Inc. (the “Company”) as of December
31, 2024 and 2023, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income,
stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, and the related notes
(collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of
its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is
to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting
firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and
are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal
securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission
and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that
we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have,
nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our
audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for
the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control over financial
reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial
statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such
procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial
statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the
financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee
and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2)
involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical
audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and
we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the
critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

Evaluation of Intangible Assets and Goodwill Impairment Analysis
As described in Notes 6 and 7 to the consolidated financial statements, the carrying amount of the
Company’s sole reporting unit, consisting of intangible assets, and goodwill, was $3,670,323 as at
December 31, 2024 and is a significant portion (31%) of the Company’s total assets. As discussed in
notes 2(l), 2(m) and 2(n) to the consolidated financial statements, the Company performs impairment
testing on an annual basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying
value of a reporting unit may exceed its recoverable amount. During the year ended December 31,
2024, the Company determined that no impairment was necessary.
We identified the evaluation of the goodwill impairment analysis as a critical audit matter. The
estimated recoverable amount of the reporting unit uses forward-looking estimates that involved a high
degree of subjective auditor judgment, in addition to specialized skills and knowledge to evaluate. The
sensitivity of reasonably possible changes to those assumptions could have a significant impact on the
determination of the recoverable amount of the reporting unit and the Company’s assessment of
impairment.
Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection
with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures include,
among others:
•
Evaluating projected earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization
(“EBITDA”) by comparing historical EBITDA forecasts to current and history performance,
current industry, market and economic trends;
•
Involving our valuation specialists to assist in testing certain significant assumptions described
above, such as discount rates and long-term growth rates;
•
Performing sensitivity analyses on significant assumptions to evaluate the changes in fair value
that would result from changes in these assumptions; and
•
Assessing the adequacy of the associated disclosures in the financial statements.
Reliability of Internally-Generated Reports Supporting Revenues
The Company uses an underlying operating system to track Ad tech advertising revenue and report this
information to customers and suppliers. As disclosed in Note 2(c) of the consolidated financial
statements, the Company records revenues when a customer obtains control of promised services,
which in certain instances, is determined by the Company’s underlying operating and Ad tech systems.
We identified relying on internally-generated reports as a critical audit matter. Assessing the reliability
of information produced by the Company as audit evidence requires significant judgment with respect
to testing and evaluating the information to determine if it is sufficient and appropriate for purposes of
the audit. Auditing the Company’s accounting for revenue from contracts with customers was
challenging and complex due to the dependency on these internally-generated reports.
Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection
with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures include,
among others:
•
Testing, on a sample basis, the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data within the
Company’s billing system;
•
Testing, on a sample basis, credit notes issued to customers to determine if there is a history of
modification;
•
Comparing the Company’s internally-generated reports to similar reports as provided by key
customers to determine if any difference were within an acceptable range of variance; and
•
Confirming, on a sample basis, revenues directly with customers.
We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2010.

1. Introduction:
Nature of business
Kidoz Inc. (the “Company”, “Kidoz” or “we”), incorporated in Anguilla, British West Indies in 2005,
is a focused AdTech solution provider. The Company is the owner of the Kidoz SDK and Kidoz Connect
Programmatic network, a Children's Online Privacy Protection Rule (“COPPA”) & General Data
Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) compliant contextual mobile advertising network that reaches kids,
teens, and families every month. Google certified and Apple approved, Kidoz provides a suite of
advertising technology that connects brands, content publishers and families. The Company has created
a network that app developers use to compliantly monetize traffic and advertisers rely on to reach their
customers. Kidoz has developed contextual targeting tools to enable brands to reach their ideal
customers.
Effective January 1, 2024, Kidoz Inc. continued out of the jurisdiction of the Anguillian Business
Companies Act, 2022, and into the jurisdiction of the Canada Business Corporations Act (“CBCA”).
Continuing operations
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the realization of assets and the
settlement of liabilities in the normal course of operations. The Company expects to continue to generate
sufficient cash flows to fund continued operations for the next 12 months, or, in the absence of adequate
cash flows from operations, obtaining additional financing.
Management continues to review operations in order to identify additional strategies designed to
generate cash flow, improve the Company’s financial position, and enable the timely discharge of the
Company’s obligations.
2. Summary of significant accounting policies:

2. Summary of significant accounting policies: (Continued)
(a) Basis of presentation: (Continued)
During the year ended December 31, 2023, Shoal Games (UK) Plc was discontinued.
During the year ended December 31, 2024, Rooplay Media Kenya Limited was discontinued.
In addition, there are the following dormant subsidiaries; Bingo.com (Antigua) Inc., Bingo.com
(Wyoming) Inc., and Bingo Acquisition Corp.
All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial
statements.
(b) Use of estimates:
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP, requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements
and recognized revenues and expenses for the reporting periods.
Significant areas requiring the use of estimates include the collectability of accounts receivable, the
valuation of stock-based compensation, the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities, the useful
lives of intangible assets, the inputs used in assessing goodwill impairment, and the derivative
liability – warrants valuation. Actual results may differ significantly from these estimates.
(c) Revenue recognition:
In accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, revenue is recognized when
a customer obtains control of promised services. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the
consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for these services.
We derive substantially all of our revenue from the sale of Ad tech advertising revenue. The content
revenue is less than 10% of the total revenue.
To achieve this core principle, the Company applied the following five steps:
1) Identify the contract with a customer
A contract with a customer exists when (i) the Company enters into an enforceable contract with a
customer that defines each party’s rights regarding the services to be transferred, whose impression
count will form the basis of the revenue and identifies the payment terms related to these services,
(ii) the contract has commercial substance and, (iii) the Company determines that collection of
substantially all consideration for services that are transferred is probable based on the customer’s
intent and ability to pay the promised consideration. The Company applies judgment in determining
the customer’s ability and intention to pay, which is based on a variety of factors including the
customer’s historical payment experience or, in the case of a new customer, published credit and
financial information pertaining to the customer.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies: (Continued)
(c) Revenue recognition: (Continued)
2) Identify the performance obligations in the contract
Performance obligations promised in a contract are identified based on the services that will be
transferred to the customer that are both capable of being distinct, whereby the customer can benefit
from the service either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available from
third parties or from the Company, and are distinct in the context of the contract, whereby the
transfer of the services is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract. To the extent
a contract includes multiple promised services, the Company must apply judgment to determine
whether promised services are capable of being distinct and distinct in the context of the contract.
If these criteria are not met the promised services are accounted for as a combined performance
obligation.
3) Determine the transaction price
The transaction price is determined based on the consideration to which the Company will be
entitled in exchange for transferring services to the customer. None of the Company's contracts
contain financing or variable consideration components.
4) Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract
If the contract contains a single performance obligation, the entire transaction price is allocated to
the single performance obligation. Contracts that contain multiple performance obligations require
an allocation of the transaction price to each performance obligation based on a relative standalone
selling price basis. The Company determines standalone selling price based on the price at which
the performance obligation is sold separately. If the standalone selling price is not observable
through past transactions, the Company estimates the standalone selling price taking into account
available information such as market conditions and internally approved pricing guidelines related
to the performance obligations.
5) Recognize revenue when or as the Company satisfies a performance obligation
The Company satisfies performance obligations at a point in time as discussed in further detail
under "Disaggregation of Revenue" below. Revenue is recognized at the time the related
performance obligation is satisfied by transferring a promised service to a customer.
Disaggregation of Revenue
All of the Company's performance obligations, and associated revenue, are generally transferred to
customers at a point in time. The Company has the following revenue streams:
1) Ad tech advertising revenue - The pricing and terms for all our in-game advertising arrangements
are mostly governed by insertion order which generally stipulates the payment terms, the duration
(usually short term in nature), the number of advertising units delivered (e.g. impressions,
completed views, or cost per install) and the contractually agreed upon price per advertising unit.

The Company has concluded that the delivery of the Ad tech advertising is delivered at a point in
time and, as such, has concluded these deliveries are a single performance obligation. The
Company invoices fees which are generally variable based on the arrangement, which would
typically include the number of impressions delivered at a specified price per application. For
impressions delivered, revenue is recognized in the month in which the Company delivers the
application to the end consumer or the month when the campaign ends.
2) Programmatic revenue - The Company generally offers these services under a programmatic bid
on a Cost-per-Impression (CPM) basis. Our customers upload their advertisements into a demand
side platform which then connects to our Publisher Software Development Kit (“SDK”) through
an exchange platform and on a bid system agree on the CPM rate and the impressions to be served.
The Company has concluded that the delivery of the Programmatic advertising is delivered at the
earlier of month end or at a point in time and, as such, has concluded these deliveries are a single
performance obligation. The Company is deemed to be the principal in the transaction and
therefore recognizes the revenue on a gross basis and commissions are recognized as cost of sales.
The Company invoices fees which are generally variable based on the arrangement, which would
typically include the number of impressions delivered at a specified price per application. For
impressions delivered, revenue is recognized in the month in which the Company delivers the
application to the end consumer or the month when the campaign ends.
3) Content revenue – The Company recognizes content revenue on the following forms of revenue:
a) Carriers and Original Equipment Manufacturer (“OEMs”) - The Company generally offers
these services under a customer contract per tablet device license fee model with OEMs.
Monthly or quarterly license fees are based on the OEM agreement with the number of devices
the Kidoz Kid Mode is installed upon.
b) Rooplay - The Company generates revenue through subscriptions or premium sales of
Rooplay, (www.rooplay.com) the cloud-based EduGame system for kids to learn and play
within its games on smartphones and tablet devices, such as Apple’s iPhone and iPad, and
mobile devices utilizing Google’s Android operating system. The revenue is recognized net of
platform fees.
c) Rooplay licensing - The Company licenses its branded educational games under a monthly
cost per game agreement license fee model. Monthly license fees are based on the number of
games licensed.
d) In App purchases - The Company generates revenue through in-application purchases (“in-
app purchases”) within its games; (i.e. Trophy Bingo (www.trophybingo.com)) on
smartphones and tablet devices, such as Apple’s iPhone and iPad, and mobile devices utilizing
Google’s Android operating system. Users can download the Company’s free-to-play games

through Android, Amazon, iOS and Facebook Messenger (this was discontinued in fiscal 2021)
and pay to acquire virtual currency which can be redeemed in the game for power plays. The
initial download of the mobile game from the Digital Storefront does not create a contract under
ASC 606 because of the lack of commercial substance; however, the separate election by the
player to make an in-application purchase satisfies the criterion thus creating a contract under
ASC 606.
The Company has identified the following performance obligations in these contracts:
i.
Ongoing game related services such as hosting of game play, storage of customer
content, when and if available content updates, maintaining the virtual currency management
engine, tracking gameplay statistics, matchmaking as it relates to multiple player gameplay, etc.
ii.
Obligation to the paying player to continue displaying and providing access to the
virtual items within the game.
Neither of these obligations are considered distinct since the actual mobile game and the related
ongoing services are both required to purchase and benefit from the related virtual items. As such,
the Company’s performance obligations represent a single combined performance obligation which
is to make the game and the ongoing game related services available to the players. The revenue
is recognized net of platform fees.
(d) Foreign currency:
The consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars, the functional currency
of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Company accounts for foreign currency transactions and
translation of foreign currency financial statements under ASC 830, Foreign Currency Matters.
Transaction amounts denominated in foreign currencies are translated at exchange rates prevailing
at the transaction dates. Carrying values of monetary assets and liabilities are adjusted at each
balance sheet date to reflect the exchange rate at that date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are
translated at the exchange rate on the original transaction date.
Gains and losses from restatement of foreign currency monetary and non-monetary assets and
liabilities are included in operations. Revenues and expenses are translated at the rates of exchange
prevailing on the dates such items are recognized in earnings.
(e) Cash and Cash Equivalents:
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions
and other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that
are readily convertible to known amounts of cash, and subject to an insignificant risk of change in
value.

(f) Accounts receivable:
Trade and other accounts receivable are reported at face value less any provisions for uncollectible
accounts considered necessary. Accounts receivable includes receivables from online platforms
and trade receivables from customers. The Company estimates doubtful accounts on an item-by-
item basis and includes over-aged accounts as part of allowance for doubtful accounts, which are
generally ones that are greater than ninety-days overdue. Bad debt expense, for the year ended
December 31, 2024 was $114,480 (2023 - $84,952 and 2022 - $nil). (Note 3)
(g) Equipment:
Equipment is recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided for annually
on the declining balance method over the following periods:
Equipment and computers
3 years
Furniture and fixtures
5 years
Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expenses as incurred. Major
improvements are capitalized. Gains and losses on disposition of equipment are included in
operations as realized.
In accordance with ASU No. 2016-02 “Leases (Topic 842), leasehold improvements are accounted
as a prepayment of rental payments since they are deemed to be an asset of the lessor.
(h) Software Technology Development Costs:
The Company expenses all software technology development costs as incurred for the year ended
December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022. As at December 31, 2024 and 2023, all capitalized software
technology development costs have been fully amortized and the Company has no capitalized
software technology development costs.
Total software technology development costs were $19,500,575 as at December 31, 2024 (2023 -
$16,055,557 and 2022 - $13,056,478) (Note 8).
(i) Derivative liability – warrants
The Company’s warrants have an exercise price in Canadian dollars whilst the Company’s
functional currency is US Dollars. Therefore, in accordance with ASU 815 – Derivatives and
Hedging, the warrants have a derivative liability value. This liability value has no effect on the
cashflow of the Company and does not represent a cash payment of any kind.
(j) Stock-based compensation:
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation under the provisions of Accounting Standard
Codification (“ASC”) 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation”. Under the fair value recognition
provisions, stock-based compensation expense is measured at the grant date for all stock-based
awards to employees, directors and non-employees and is recognized as an expense over the

(k) Right-of-use assets:
The Company determines if an agreement is a lease at inception. The Company evaluates the lease
terms to determine whether the lease will be accounted for as an operating or finance lease.
Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, operating lease
liabilities, current portion, and operating lease liabilities, net of current portion in the consolidated
balance sheets.
ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease
liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease.
Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the
present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of the Company leases do not provide
an implicit rate, the Company uses the incremental borrowing rate based on the information
available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The Company
uses the implicit rate when readily determinable. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any
lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. The Company’s lease terms may include
options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that
option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
A lease that transfers substantially all of the benefits and risks incidental to ownership of property
are accounted for as finance leases. At the inception of a finance lease, an asset and finance lease
obligation is recorded at an amount equal to the lesser of the present value of the minimum lease
payments and the property’s fair market value. Finance lease obligations are classified as either
current or long-term based on the due dates of future minimum lease payments, net of interest.
(l) Impairment of long-lived assets and long-lived assets to be disposed of:
If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the
amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to
be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount and the fair value less costs to sell.

(m) Intangible assets:
The Company identified the following intangible assets in the acquisition of Kidoz Ltd. Finite life
intangible assets are recorded at historical cost less accumulated amortization based on their
estimated useful life and any impairment is determined in accordance with ASC 360. The Company
does not have any indefinite life intangible assets. Amortization is provided for annually on the
straight-line method over the following periods:
Amortization period
Ad tech technology
5 years
Customer relationships
8 years
The Company reviews intangible assets subject to amortization quarterly to determine if any
adverse conditions exist or a change in circumstances has occurred that would indicate impairment
or a change in the remaining useful life. If an impairment indicator exists, we test the intangible
asset for recoverability. For purposes of the recoverability test, amortizable intangible assets are
grouped with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level of identifiable cash flows if the
intangible asset does not generate cash flows independent of other assets and liabilities. If the
carrying value of the asset group exceeds the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the
use and eventual disposition of the asset group, the Company will write the carrying value down to
the fair value in the period identified.
(n) Goodwill:
The Company accounts for goodwill in accordance with the provisions of ASC 350, Intangibles-
Goodwill and Others. Goodwill is the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable
assets acquired, less liabilities assumed, in a business combination. The Company reviews
goodwill for impairment. Goodwill is not amortized but is evaluated for impairment at least
annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not
that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.
The goodwill impairment test is used to identify both the existence of impairment and the amount
of impairment loss, and compares the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount and is
based on discounted future cash flows, based on market multiples applied to free cash flow. The
determination of the fair value of our reporting units requires management to make significant
estimates and assumptions including the selection of control premiums, discount rates, terminal
growth rates, forecasts of revenue and expense growth rates, income tax rates, changes in working
capital, depreciation, amortization and capital expenditures. Changes in assumptions concerning
future financial results, exogenous market conditions, or other underlying assumptions could have
a significant impact on either the fair value of the reporting unit or the amount of the goodwill
impairment charge. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment
loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess, limited to the total amount of goodwill
allocated to that reporting unit.

(n) Goodwill: (Continued)
During the year ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, there was no impairment of goodwill.
(o) Income taxes:
The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this
method, current income taxes are recognized for the estimated income taxes payable for the current
period. The Company recognizes the income tax recovery from the receipt of tax credits upon
receipt of funds. Deferred income taxes are provided based on the estimated future tax effects of
temporary differences between financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and
their respective tax bases, as well as the benefit of losses available to be carried forward to future
years for tax purposes.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates that are expected to apply
to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered
and settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized
in operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is recorded for
deferred tax assets when it is not more likely than not that such future tax assets will be realized.
(p) Net income (loss) per share:
ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share”, requires presentation of basic earnings per share (“Basic EPS”)
and diluted earnings per share (“Diluted EPS”). Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by
dividing earnings (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential
dilution, using the treasury stock method, that could occur if outstanding options or warrants were
exercised and converted into common stock. In computing diluted earnings per share, the treasury
stock method assumes that outstanding options and warrants are exercised and the proceeds are
used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period.
Options and warrants will have a dilutive effect under the treasury stock method only when the
average market price of the common stock during the period exceeds the exercise price of the
options and warrants. In periods where losses are reported, the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding excludes common stock equivalents because their inclusion would be
anti-dilutive. A total of 10,359,750 (2023 - 8,066,000 and 2022 – 8,859,000) stock options and
warrants were excluded as at December 31, 2024.

(q) New accounting pronouncements and changes in accounting policies:
In November 2023, the Financial Standards Board issued ASU 2023-07, Improvements to
Reportable Segment Disclosures ("ASU 2023-07"), which requires that segment expenses deemed
significant to the chief operating decision maker (CODM) typically incorporated in measuring
profit or loss of the segment should be disclosed. The guidance also requires that the difference
between segment revenues and these significant segment expenses is disclosed. Any annually
disclosed segment information is now required to be reported in interim periods as well. The
standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, which means that it was effective for our annual
reporting for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024. The adoption of this ASU affects only our
disclosures, with no impact to our financial condition and results of operation. See Note 15 -
Segmented information:
On December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 "Income Taxes (Topics 740): Improvements
to Income Tax Disclosures" to expand the disclosure requirements for income taxes, primarily
related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods
beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. Management is currently
evaluating this ASU to determine its impact on the Company's disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive
Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income
Statement Expenses. The new standard requires entities to disclose additional information about
certain expenses, such as purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, intangible
asset amortization, as well as selling expenses included in commonly presented expense captions
on the income statement. The FASB further clarified the effective date in January 2025 with the
issuance of ASU 2025-01, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense
Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date. The ASU is effective
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after

(q) New accounting pronouncements and changes in accounting policies: (Continued)
December 15, 2027. Companies have the option to apply this guidance either on a retrospective or
prospective basis, and early adoption is permitted. The company is currently evaluating this
guidance to determine the impact it may have on its consolidated financial statements and related
disclosures.
The Company has evaluated all the recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards that
have been issued or proposed by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or other standards-
setting bodies through the filing date of these consolidated financial statements and does not believe
the future adoption of any such pronouncements will have a material impact on its consolidated
financial statements.
(r) Financial instruments and fair value measurements:
(i) Fair values:
Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an
exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly
transaction between market participants on measurement date. The Company classifies assets and
liabilities recorded at fair value under the fair value hierarchy based upon the observability of inputs
used in valuation techniques. Observable inputs (highest level) reflect market data obtained from
independent sources, while unobservable inputs (lowest level) reflect internally developed market
assumptions. The fair value measurements are classified under the following hierarchy:
Level 1—Observable inputs that reflect quoted market prices (unadjusted) for identical assets and
liabilities in active markets;
Level 2—Observable inputs, other than quoted market prices, that are either directly or indirectly
observable in the marketplace for identical or similar assets and liabilities, quoted prices in markets
that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market
data for substantially the full term of the assets and liabilities; and
Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity that are significant
to the fair value of assets or liabilities.
When available, we use quoted market prices to determine fair value, and we classify such
measurements within Level 1. In some cases where market prices are not available, we make use
of observable market-based inputs to calculate fair value, in which case the measurements are
classified within Level 2. If quoted or observable market prices are not available, fair value is based
upon valuations in which one or more significant inputs are unobservable, including internally
developed models that use, where possible, current market-based parameters such as interest rates,
yield curves and currency rates. These measurements are classified within Level 3.

(r) Financial instruments and fair value measurements: (Continued)
(i) Fair values: (Continued)
Fair value measurements are classified according to the lowest level input or value-driver that is
significant to the valuation. A measurement may therefore be classified within Level 3 even though
there may be significant inputs that are readily observable.
Fair value measurement includes the consideration of nonperformance risk. Nonperformance risk
refers to the risk that an obligation (either by a counterparty) will not be fulfilled. For financial
assets traded in an active market (Level 1 and certain Level 2), the nonperformance risk is included
in the market price. For certain other financial assets and liabilities (certain Level 2 and Level 3),
our fair value calculations have been adjusted accordingly.
The fair value of accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and accounts payable,
and accrued liabilities - related party approximate their financial statement carrying amounts due
to the short-term maturities of these instruments and are therefore carried at their historical cost
basis.
Fair values determined by Level 3 inputs are unobservable data points for the asset or liability, and
included situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset. Stock-based
compensation and derivative liability – warrants were measured using Level 2 inputs. Goodwill
impairment was measured using Level 3 inputs.
(ii) Foreign currency risk:
The Company operates internationally, which gives rise to the risk that cash flows may be adversely
impacted by exchange rate fluctuations. The Company has not entered into any forward exchange
contracts or other derivative instrument to hedge against foreign exchange risk.
3. Accounts Receivable:

7. Goodwill:
The Company has a goodwill balance of $3,301,439 for year ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 from
the acquisition of Kidoz Ltd.
The Company’s annual goodwill impairment analysis performed during the fourth quarter of fiscal
2024 and 2023 included a quantitative analysis of the Kidoz Ltd. reporting unit (consisting of
intangible assets (Note 6), and goodwill). The reporting unit has a carrying amount of $3,670,323
(2023 - $3,903,158) as at December 31, 2024. The Company performed a discounted cash flow
analysis for the reporting unit. These discounted cash flow models included management assumptions
for expected sales growth, margin expansion, operational leverage, capital expenditures, and overall
operational forecasts. The Company classified these significant inputs and assumptions as Level 3 fair
value measurements. Based on the annual impairment test described above there was no additional
impairment determined for fiscal 2024 or fiscal 2023.

2015 and 2024 stock option plans
In the year ended December 31, 2015, the shareholders approved the 2015 stock option plan. The
2015 stock option plan as amended in November 2020, is intended to provide incentive to
employees, directors, advisors and consultants of the Company to encourage proprietary interest in
the Company, to encourage such employees to remain in the employ of the Company or such
directors, advisors and consultants to remain in the service of the Company, and to attract new
employees, directors, advisors and consultants with outstanding qualifications.
During the year ended December 31, 2024, a new 10% “rolling” stock option plan (the “2024 Stock
Option Plan”) that complies with the updated TSX Policy 4.4 was approved by the TSX-V, the
Board of Directors and the Company’s shareholders. The 2024 Stock Option Plan will replace 2015
Stock Option Plan. Options granted under the 2015 Stock Option Plan will continue to be governed
by the 2015 Stock Option Plan. The 2015 Stock Option plan will continue to exist until the stock
options granted under the 2015 Stock Option are exercised, cancelled or expire. All new stock
option grants will be made under the 2024 Stock Option Plan.
The Board of Directors determines the terms of the options granted, including the number of options
granted, the exercise price and their vesting schedule. The maximum term possible is 10 years.
Under the 2015 and the 2024 plan we have reserved 10% of the number of Shares of the Company
issued and outstanding as of each Award Date. The exercise price of a stock option shall be set
when such stock option is granted. The minimum exercise price per Common Share shall not be
less than the “Discounted Market Price” (as defined in TSX-V Policy 1.1 – Interpretations) allowed

previously accounted for the lease in accordance with ASU 2016-02 (Topic 842) and recognized a
right-of-use asset and operating lease liability.
The Netanya, Israel operating lease expired on July 14, 2017, but unless 3 months’ notice is given it
automatically renews for a future 12 months until notice is given. During the year ended December
31, 2024, the lease was extended for a further 12 months. The renewal of this lease is uncertain, hence
the Company has accounted for this lease as a short-term lease.

expiring through December 31, 2044.
In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely
than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization
of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in
which those differences become deductible.
Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable
income, and tax planning strategies in assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets.

The Company recognized this tax credit as a recovery of income tax expense on the statement of
operations and comprehensive (loss) income upon receipt of funds.
13. Right-of-use assets:
Effective April 1, 2019, we recognized lease assets and liabilities of $125,474, in relation to the
Vancouver office. We estimated a discount rate of 4.12%.
We elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within Topic
842, which allowed us to carry forward prior conclusions about lease identification, classification and
initial direct costs for leases entered into prior to adoption of Topic 842.
Additionally, we elected to not separate lease and non-lease components for all of our leases. For leases
with a term of 12 months or less, our current offices, we elected the short-term lease exemption, which
allowed us to not recognize right-of-use assets or lease liabilities for qualifying leases existing at
transition and new leases we may enter into in the future, as there is significant uncertainty on whether
the leases will be renewed.
The right-of-use assets as at December 31, 2024, is summarized as follows:

17. Stock awareness program: (Continued)
The Company incurred stock awareness expenses of $402,845 during the year ended December 31,
2022, of which $179,293 is from the issuance of 230,000 common shares to RCC (Note 10) and a
derivative liability of $83,572 (Note 10) from the warrants granted.
18. Concentrations:
Major customers
During the year ended December 31, 2024, and 2023, the Company sold Ad tech revenue; sold
subscriptions on its site Rooplay; and premium purchases of Rooplay Originals. During the year ended
December 31, 2024, the Company had revenues of $2,715,633 and $1,935,119, from two customers
(December 31, 2023 - two customers for $2,927,239 and $1,716,205; December 31, 2022 - three
customers for $3,528,530, $2,293,798, and $1,507,029) which was more than 10% of the total revenue.
The Company is reliant on the Google App, iOS App and Amazon App Stores to provide a content
platform for Rooplay, to be played thereon and certain advertising agencies for the Ad tech revenue.
19. Concentrations of credit risk:
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist
primarily of cash and accounts receivable. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with
high quality financial institutions and limits the amount of credit exposure with any one institution.
The Company currently maintains a substantial portion of its day-to-day operating cash and long-term
cash equivalents balances at financial institutions. At December 31, 2024, the Company had total cash
of $2,788,070 (2023 - $1,493,071) at financial institutions, where $2,563,066 (2023 - $1,266,481) is
in excess of federally insured limits.
The Company has concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable, the majority of its
accounts receivable are concentrated geographically in the United States amongst a small number of
customers.
As of December 31, 2024, the Company had one customer, totaling $617,587, respectively who
accounted for greater than 10% of the total accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2023, the
Company had one customer, totaling $1,016,280 who accounted for greater than 10% of the total
accounts receivable.
The Company controls credit risk through monitoring procedures and receiving prepayments of cash
for services rendered. The Company performs credit evaluations of its customers but generally does
not require collateral to secure accounts receivable.

KIDOZ INC.
INSIDER TRADING POLICY
Section 1
Purpose
As a publicly-traded company, Kidoz Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, the "Company" or "we") and its
directors, officers, employees, consultants and contractors and others are subject to legal restrictions
relating to the treatment of undisclosed material information. In particular, trading or recommending or
encouraging others to trade while in possession of undisclosed material information, or informing others of
undisclosed material information, may be a violation of securities, corporate and criminal laws (the
"Applicable Laws").
The policies, procedures and guidelines (collectively, the "policies") set out in this Insider Trading Policy
(the "Policy") have been developed to protect the Company and those to whom this Policy applies, and, in
certain respects, may go beyond the requirements of Applicable Laws.
It is essential that everyone understand and comply with this Policy. If you are ever unsure of whether or
not you are permitted to trade in the Company's securities or the securities of another public company,
contact the Compliance Officer (see Section 13) before you act.
Certain terms used in this Policy have very specific meanings and are explained further in Appendix "A" to
this Policy.
Section 2 - Scope
This Policy applies to all directors and officers of the Company, and to all employees, consultants and
contractors of the Company who receive or have access to undisclosed material information.
You should be particularly sensitive to ensuring that your spouse, partner and other family members do not,
intentionally or unintentionally, gain access to undisclosed material information about the Company. The
trading restrictions in this Policy and under Applicable Laws, as well as the potential consequences for
violation, will apply to your spouse, partner or other family members if they gain access to undisclosed
material information.
This Policy applies to all trading in any securities of the Company, including any of the Company's shares,
securities convertible or exchangeable into shares or other securities of the Company, debt instruments,
puts, calls, options and any other rights or obligations to purchase or sell securities of the Company. It also
applies to derivative securities relating to the Company's securities, whether or not issued by the Company,
including any security, the market price of which varies materially with the market price of the securities of
the Company. Any reference in this Policy to "trade," "trading," "securities," or other similar terms when
used in reference to the Company's shares has such broader meaning.
Page 2
It is important to understand that this Policy applies to all shares that you beneficially own and/or over which
you have direct or indirect control or direction, which includes securities owned by others (such as family
members) where you direct or influence their investment decisions.
Section 3 - What is 'Material Information'?
"Material information" means, when used in relation to the Company's shares issued or proposed to be
issued, a fact that would reasonably be expected to have a significant effect on the market price or value
of the Company's shares. Material information also includes information that a reasonable investor would
consider as important in reaching an investment decision. Either positive or negative information may be
material.
A "material change" means: (i) a change in the business, operations or capital of the Company that would
reasonably be expected to have a significant effect on the market price or value of the Company's shares;
or (ii) a decision to implement a such a change made by: (A) the directors of the Company; or (B) senior
management of the Company who believe that confirmation of the decision by the directors is probable. As
used in this Policy, "material information" includes material changes.
It is not possible to define all categories of material information; however, some examples of information
(not intended to be an exhaustive list or a substitute for the exercise of judgment in making materiality
determinations) that could be considered material include:
•
operating and financial results;
•
financial projections;
•
business plans, strategies, or negotiations;
•
proposed mergers, acquisitions or joint ventures involving the Company or divestitures of
significant assets or a subsidiary by the Company;
•
changes in share ownership that may affect control of the Company;
•
Board of Directors or senior management changes;
•
public or private sales of the Company's securities;
•
proposed or pending material financings;
•
events of default under financing or other agreements;
•
financial or liquidity problems, bankruptcy, corporate restructuring, or receivership;
•
material transactions involving directors, officers or principal shareholders of the Company;
•
labour disputes or disputes with important suppliers;
•
significant write-downs of assets or additions to reserves for bad debts or contingent
liabilities;
•
cyber intrusions or other data breaches;
•
changes in the Company's auditors;
•
pending or threatened litigation;
•
decisions or recommendations regarding dividend payments or policies, or other
modifications to the rights of the Company's security holders; and
•
changes in capital or corporate structure.
Section 4 - What is 'Undisclosed Material Information'?
Material information that has not yet been generally disclosed to the public is referred to as "undisclosed
material information". Material information about the Company should be considered non-public or
undisclosed unless there is certainty it has been publicly disclosed. As a general rule, in order for material
information to be considered "generally disclosed" to the public, it must be published and widely
disseminated by way of a press release (making it generally available to investors) and sufficient time must
have elapsed in order for the market to react to the information.
Generally, this means one (1) full trading day, unless otherwise advised by the Compliance Officer that
the sufficient period is longer or shorter. The term "trading day" means a day on which the stock
exchange(s) on which the Company's securities are traded are open for trading.
Page 3
Section 5 - Insider Trading and Tipping Restrictions
(a)
Persons in a "special relationship" with the Company
You may come into possession of material information about the Company or other companies in
the normal course of your work (such as news about financial results prior to public disclosure,
financings, major projects, significant management changes, etc.). Under Applicable Laws,
significant shareholders, directors, officers, employees, consultants and contractors of the
Company, among others, may be considered to be in a "special relationship" with the Company
and, as a result, caught by the prohibitions against insider trading, tipping and recommending
described below. The concept of a special relationship with a public company is defined very
broadly and extends to any person or company who falls within one of the categories summarized
in Appendix "A". Importantly, it also captures a potentially infinite chain of persons who receive
undisclosed material information about the Company from any person who is in a special
relationship with the Company.
(b)
No trading on undisclosed material information
It is illegal and strictly prohibited by this Policy to directly or indirectly engage in any transaction
involving a purchase or sale of the Company's shares at any time when you have knowledge of
undisclosed material information. To do so would be "insider trading".
You may, from time to time, have to forego a proposed transaction in the Company's securities
even if you planned to complete the transaction before learning of the undisclosed material
information.
(c)
No "tipping" or "recommending"
It is illegal and strictly prohibited by this Policy to disclose, other than in the necessary course of
business, undisclosed material information relating to the Company to any other person (such as,
but not limited to, family members, neighbors, friends, acquaintances, investment professionals,
financial planners, family companies or family trusts), or to make recommendations or encourage,
other than in the necessary course of business, the purchase or sale of the Company's shares on
the basis of undisclosed material information. To do so would be "tipping".
The question of whether a particular disclosure is being made in the "necessary course of business"
is a mixed question of law and fact that must be determined on a case-by-case basis. For greater
certainty, disclosure to analysts, institutional investors, other market professionals and members of
the press and other media is a form of "tipping" and will not be considered to be in the necessary
course of business. Generally, you should refrain from making such disclosure unless you have
been specifically advised by the Compliance Officer that that it is permitted.
Section 6 - Restrictions on Short Selling and Other Speculative Trading
Investing in the Company's shares provides an opportunity to share in the Company's future growth and,
accordingly, you are encouraged to make investments in the Company for the long-term. We strongly
discourage active or speculative trading involving the Company's shares based on short-term fluctuations
in the price of the shares or other market conditions.
While long term investing is encouraged for all those to whom this Policy applies, directors, officers,
employees, consultants and contractors are prohibited from purchasing financial instruments, such as
prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars or units of exchange funds, that hedge or offset
(or are designed to hedge or offset) any decrease in market value of the Company's shares granted as
compensation or held, directly or indirectly, by the director, officer, employees, consultants or contractors.
Section 7 - Trading Blackouts
The period beginning at the end of each quarter and ending the next trading day following the date of public
disclosure of the financial results for that quarter (or fiscal year) (a "Blackout Period") is particularly
sensitive, as directors, and certain officers, employees, consultants and contractors may often possess
undisclosed material information about the expected financial results for the quarter and year end.
Page 4
Accordingly, to ensure compliance with this Policy and Applicable Laws, all Restricted Persons must refrain
from any trading activities involving the Company's shares during the Blackout Periods, confirmed and
communicated by the Compliance Officer.
The Company may from time to time impose additional non-scheduled Blackout Periods on account of the
existence of or potential for undisclosed material information. In such event, Restricted Persons will be
advised of the start and end of the non-scheduled Blackout Period, during which time they are prohibited
from trading in the Company's shares, as well as from disclosing to others the facts giving rise to or the
existence of a non-scheduled Blackout Period.
Even in the absence of a Blackout Period, any person possessing undisclosed material information about
the Company should not engage in any transactions in the Company's shares until after one (1) trading day
has elapsed from the public disclosure of such information.
For the purposes of this policy, "Restricted Persons" include all "reporting insiders" (as discussed below)
and all other officers or employees who are specifically designated as Restricted Persons for the purposes
of this Policy from time to time.
Section 8 - Insider Reporting Requirements
Under Applicable Laws, certain "insiders" of the Company who are deemed "reporting insiders" are required
to comply with insider reporting requirements and to report their activities in respect of the Company's
shares. Reporting insiders include all directors of the Company, as well as certain executive officers and
other employees who have routine access to undisclosed material information and the ability, directly or
indirectly, to exercise influence over the business, operations, affairs, capital or development of the
Company. Designation as a reporting insider may change over time and the Company will advise you if
you are considered a reporting insider.
Reporting insiders are required to file an initial insider trading report within ten (10) calendar days of first
becoming a reporting insider, disclosing any direct or indirect beneficial ownership of or control or direction
over a share of the Company, and interest in, or right or obligation associated with, a related financial
instrument involving a share of the Company. Reporting insiders are also required to file an insider trading
report within two (2) business days of the date of any change in such direct or indirect beneficial ownership
or control or direction, or such interest, right or obligation. Insider reports are filed with securities regulators
electronically through the System for Electronic Disclosure by Insiders (SEDI) at www.sedi.ca and EDGAR
at https://www.edgarfiling.sec.gov/Welcome/EDGAROnlineFormsLogin.htm.
Reporting insiders are personally and legally responsible for ensuring the accurate and timely disclosure of
their trading activities. However, the Compliance Officer is available to assist you in the preparation and
filing of insider trading reports and, where such assistance is requested, reporting insiders must provide the
Compliance Officer with all required information to allow for timely submission of reports. Reporting
insiders who file their own reports are asked to provide a copy to the Compliance Officer so that the
Company's records may be updated.
Consequences of contravening insider reporting requirements include the imposition of late filing fees,
being identified as a late filer on public databases maintained by securities regulators, the issuance of cease
trade orders or, in appropriate circumstances, enforcement proceedings.
Section 9 - Trading in Securities of Other Companies
This Policy is not restricted to information affecting the Company and its shares. You may obtain material
information about other companies in the course of your work for the Company. As such, this Policy and
the guidelines set out also apply to undisclosed material information about other companies or entities with
which we do business, including but not limited to joint venture partners, service providers, customers,
partners, vendors and suppliers of the Company. This also includes a potential take-over bid, merger or
acquisition candidates (collectively, "business counterparties"), when that information is obtained in the
course of employment with, or providing services to, or on behalf of, the Company.
Criminal and civil penalties and termination of your relationship with the Company may result from trading
in the securities of, or tipping in relation to, any business counterparty when in possession of undisclosed
material information about that business counterparty. Undisclosed material information about the
Page 5
Company's business counterparties should be treated in the same way and with the same care as
information related directly to the Company.
Section 10 - Policy Awareness and Consequences for Violation
A final copy of this Policy will be reviewed and acknowledged annually through our Wiki. Any amendments
made to it from time to time will be made available either directly or by posting a revised policy to all
employees for review.
Insider trading or tipping are serious offences and the consequences can be severe. Those who violate
this Policy will be subject to disciplinary action by the Company, including possible termination of their
relationship with the Company. This is in addition to facing significant fines and penalties and/or
imprisonment. Under Applicable Laws, penalties for violations of insider trading laws currently include fines
of up to $5 million or triple any profit made or loss avoided, whichever is greater, as well as imprisonment
for up to 5 years.
Insiders may also be liable for improper transactions by any person to whom they have disclosed
undisclosed material information regarding the Company or to whom they have made recommendations or
expressed opinions based on such information (commonly referred to as a "tippee"). Large penalties have
been imposed even when the disclosing person did not profit from the trading.
Section 11 - Review of the Policy and Waivers
The Company will review this Policy periodically to ensure it continues to comply with Applicable Laws and
good corporate governance practices.
The Company may, from time to time, permit departures from the terms of this Policy, either prospectively
or retrospectively. This Policy is not intended to give rise to civil liability on the part of the Company or its
directors or officers to shareholders, security holders, customers, suppliers, competitors, employees or
other persons, or to any other liability whatsoever on their part.
Section 12 - Questions
If you have questions about general insider trading matters or your responsibilities under this Policy, please
contact the Compliance Officer.
Section 13 Compliance Officer
The Company has appointed Henry Bromley, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), as the
Company’s insider trading compliance officer. The CFO is responsible for the oversight of this Policy. As
such, any questions or concerns with respect to this Policy should be directed to the CFO. In absence of
the Compliance Officer, the Chairman will act as the Compliance Officer.

Company (a "tipper") where the tippee knows or ought reasonably to have known that the
tipper is in a special relationship with the Company. This includes a "tippee" who is tipped
by a previous "tippee". The significance of clause (h) is that it creates an indefinite chain
so that any person who either trades on or discloses undisclosed material information
acquired directly or indirectly from someone "on the inside" will be subject to the criminal
and/or civil liabilities described in this Insider Trading Policy.
