Letter to our Shareholders 

2022  was  another  excellent  year  for  NTG  with  an  increase  in  revenue  and  a  continuing  profitability. 
Revenues for 2022 were up 48% to $17.65M compared to about $11.9M in 2021 and we are profitable for 
the year, despite significant devaluation challenges in Egypt. We have capitalized on our track record and 
experience, and the goodwill we have built with our customers and partners over the years. NTG is now 
recognized as a provider of top-tier, high quality services with very competitive pricing, and we have added 
new clients to our customer base, especially in the financial sector where we have been focusing expansion 
this year. This sector is outside our traditional telecom vertical and is an important growth opportunity for 
us as they are going through a digital transformation. We are working hard to capitalize on the booming 
demands for IT and telecom services and on establishing NTG as a major offshoring hub for technology and 
IT services.  

During the year, we continued developing our product NTGapps -- a digital transformation tool providing a 
low-code platform that enables users to develop applications quickly and easily.  In 2022, we have seen the 
demand for the system reflected in purchase orders and we look forward to increasing product sales and 
the professional services to implement and support the system. The NTGapps software platform is being 
sold as a service either on the cloud or implemented on premises for large corporate clients.   

Going forward, NTG will focus on promoting and expanding the following: 

1.  Our  product  offerings  that  provide  a  high  profit  margin.  We  are  focused  on  our  NTGapps  digital 
transformation  platform  that  integrates  with  our  Network  Asset  Management  product.  Digital 
Transformation is one of the current key objectives of most organizations and NTGapps provides a tool 
to enable these organization to achieve this goal in using a phased approach while integrating with 
their  legacy  systems.  We  believe  that  NTGapps  is  one  of  the  best  digital  transformation  platforms 
available. It enables our customers to consolidate their end-to-end business software and integrate 
with specialty third-party platforms, enhancing operational efficiency and saving clients time that can 
instead be used to create new revenue streams. 

2.  Our outsourcing/offshoring services. These services provide consistent cash flow and margins for the 
business. They help in acquiring new customers on a short sale cycle. This gives us the opportunity to 
introduce our products to these customers. NTG has invested in expanding our offshore centre in Egypt 
and that has proven to be very successful.  

We would like to thank our valued shareholders for their continued support during these challenging times. 
As management’s interests are closely aligned with our shareholder base, we remain committed to working 
diligently to increase our profitability and working towards reducing our debts. We look forward to growing 
the company further in the years ahead.

Summary of Major NTG Events in 2022 

Announcements made over the course of the year highlighted our new customers and contracts/POs. The 
following outlines the events that occurred in 2022: 

In Q1 2022, we announced: 

  multiple POs, contracts and contract extensions worth $3.6M.  

  a new 1-year renewable Framework Agreement for outsource and offshore resources with a leading 

bank in the Gulf Region worth an estimated value of $3.5M. 

  an amendment to an existing 1-year renewable Framework Agreement for a credit bureau in the Middle 

East, bringing the estimated value to $6.8M.  

In Q2 2022, we announced: 

  multiple POs valued at $2.521M.  

  multiple POs against existing Framework Agreements valued at $793K. 

  a new 7-month renewable Framework Agreement for outsource and offshore resources for a digital 
factory with a leading bank in the Gulf Region. The annual income is estimated to be $3M CAD and the 
expenses are estimated to be $2M CAD. 

In Q3 2022, we announced: 

  a $4.16M  PO  from  a major  financial institution in the Middle East to  provide onshore and offshore 

professional resources.  

  multiple POs valued at approximately $6.33M with $5.98M of the amount being for new work.  

In Q4 2022, we announced: 

  multiple POs for our software products valued at over $2M. 

  multiple POs for resources at existing customers valued at approximately $2.248M. 

 

the signing of a significant Memo of Understanding (MOU) with OMB (Outsource Management Business 
is a division under Etisalat Services Holding) to cooperate in providing IT products and services in the 
Middle East.  

Canada 
Our Canadian operations added a new professional services customer this year and Canadian customers 
and customers billed through our Canadian office account for 12% of NTG’s revenue. We continued to work 
on implementation of two projects through our Canadian office to: 

 

 

license and install NTG’s NTS Asset Management, Network Discovery, Discrepancy and Reconciliation 
software, including our  new low-code NTGapps digital toolbox. Implementation revenue over  2022 
was $1.3M.  

license, install and support our NTS Utility Billing software. 2022 revenue for this project was $373K. 

Egypt 
Egypt continues to be a challenging  place to do business with restrictions on using foreign currency for 
business operations and on moving  funds out of the country. Over the year,  the Egyptian Central  Bank 
moved the Egyptian pound (EGP) to a more flexible exchange rate because of the terms of an International 

7 

Monetary Fund (IMF) financial support package. By the end of 2022 the EGP’s value dropped from around 
12.3 EGP to the Canadian dollar in January to about 18.2 EGP in December 2022, a 48% drop in value.  

Other effects in the economy include an interest rates and inflations, with costs driven up further by higher 
global energy prices, official inflation hit 21.9 percent in December, and food prices rose 37.9 percent. This 
has resulted in NTG Egypt having to increase salaries to help personnel cope with the changing economy. 

Despite  the  devaluation,  NTG  Egypt's revenue  has  increased  57%  over  last  year  with  a  76%  increase  in 
revenue from our top 5 customers and 4 new customers in the region. We continue to mitigate much of 
the risk of doing business in the country as our expenses and the majority of our contracts in Egypt are both 
in the local currency. NTG Egypt's unconsolidated revenue of approximately 76.9M EGP in 2022 translated 
to around $4.29M CAD at year end, resulting in a devaluation of over $1.1M CAD. This was recorded as a 
reduction  in  revenues  for  Q4  2022  of  approximately  $410K,  and  just  over  $750K  in  exchange  loss  on 
translation and foreign exchange loss.  

We are also working to diversify our customer base in the country. In addition to our now 5 major customers 
who  represent  94%  of  Egypt’s  annual revenue  (2021:  95%),  we  are  increasing work  with  other  existing 
customers and have added 4 new customers (3% of revenue) in the financial and telecom sectors. 

In 2022, Egypt’s revenue contribution continues to be strong with the subsidiary contributing 24% of the 
Corporation’s revenue (2021: 23%).  

Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) 
KSA’s continued economic strength, due in large part to a booming economy, has shown increased demand 
for our products and services and has resulted in a 56% increase in revenue contribution for the country 
this year. 76% of our professional service work and 62% of our revenue being from KSA (2021: 70% and 58% 
respectively). NTG has developed good brand recognition and a solid track record over the years, which is 
an asset to our work in the region and we resulted in a shift in our major customers from telecom to the 
banking and public sectors. 

We have licensed our NTGapps software to new and existing customers in the country, and product demos 
show promising interest across multiple sectors. 

With KSA being reported as the world’s fastest-growing major economy, we are well-positioned to continue 
to  grow  our  revenue  here  (source:  https://www.eiu.com/n/saudi-arabia-set-to-be-the-worlds-fastest-growing-
major-economy/). 

Oman 
In 2022, we continued work for our customer in Oman, who is using our NTS Network Inventory and Project 
Management  modules.  Recurring  revenues  in  Oman  from  product  maintenance,  support,  and  change 
requests as well as professional services contributed 5% to NTG’s revenue in 2022 (2021: 5%).  

Outlook 
KSA’s  robust  economy,  due  in  large  part  to  strong  oil  prices,  has  shown  an  increasing  demand  for  our 
products and services. Customers continue to recognize our quality of work and track record and this has 
resulted in large increases in the volume of work from our major customers and expansion into several new 
customers, primarily in the financial sector. 

Some customers are now making use of the technical, IT and professional services we offer through our 
Egypt Offshore Centre. We are excited about the increasing demand for this offering model as we expand 
our business into new verticals that include government and financial sectors. 

8 

With the demand for our software product; NTGapps digital toolbox, we anticipate being able to continue 
to expand into new verticals. As NTGapps includes tools related to small and medium enterprise (SME) end-
to-end business operations, we are already seeing demand in the financial and government sectors and we 
see this as an opportunity to present our product for use in other verticals.  

We  now  have  a  dedicated  team  of  sales  personnel  that  are  targeting  new  customers  in  this  currently 
booming KSA economy. We are targeting small and medium enterprises (SME) across multiple verticals that 
now include the medical sectors and the food industry, in addition to the telecom and financial sectors. We 
anticipate  the  sales  of  NTGapps  to  increase  significantly  in  2023.  For  more  information,  visit 
www.ntgapps.com.  

As of the beginning of 2023, NTG has a backlog of $20.95M in unbilled amounts for POs/contracts on hand. 
This  amount  exceeds  the  total  revenue  for  2022.  This  put  us  in  a  healthy  position  to  continue  our 
profitability going forward and contributes to the growth of our organization. Additionally, we are expecting 
to renew several contracts with major customers that are coming up for renewal within the next six months. 

Summary of Quarterly Results 

Historically,  NTG’s  operating  results  have  fluctuated  due  to  the  timing  of  new  contracts  and  their 
corresponding billing, and we expect this trend to continue.

Quarterly and Annual Results of Operations 

NTG’s  business  continues  to  operate  and  support  customers’  operations,  with  significant  increasing 
revenues in Saudi Arabia.  The hard work and dedication resulted in 2022 having the highest revenue in 
NTG’s  recent  history,  with  Q4  2022  being  the  highest  single  quarter  revenue.  We  continue  to  rely  on 
collections and short-term  loans to finance operations. Generally, in 2022,  collections have been within 
acceptable limits and management continues to work to reduce legacy payables. 

Financial highlights for the three months and year ending December 31, 2022: 

9 

 
 
 
 
Revenue  
Consolidated  revenues  for  the  three  months  ending  December  31,  2022  was  $5,742,867  compared  to 
$4,132,046 for the same period in 2021. Revenue for the year increased 48% to $17,652,313 compared to 
$11,895,943 reported in the prior year.  

Professional  service  revenue  continues  to  be  a  significant  source  of  revenue  for  us,  given  its  generally 
recurring nature (81% as compared to 81% in 2021). We continue to work to make product sales a more 
balanced part of NTG’s revenue stream. 

Consolidated  revenues  for  Q4  2022  for  the  Egypt  operating  segment  were  $1,114,021  compared  to 
$1,183,846 in 2021. Despite the devaluation of the Egyptian pound in Q4 2022, consolidated revenues for 
the year  ending December  31, 2022 revenues increased 57% to $4,293,173 compared to $2,735,335  in 
2021. 

For the Canadian operating segment, revenues increased 57% to $4,628,846 compared to $2,948,200 in Q4 
2021. For the year ending December 31, 2022 revenues increased to $13,359,140 compared to $9,160,608 
in 2021.  

Revenues are 46% higher this year primarily due to:  

  a 74% increase in work for our largest customer in the financial sector in KSA 
  a 76% increase in work for NTG Egypt’s top 5 customers 
 
 

significant increases in work for 6 of our existing customers in KSA and 5 in Egypt 
revenue from new customers in Canada, Iraq, KSA and Egypt (12%). 

Though we currently have 6 Canadian customers, the Middle East continues to be where the majority of 
NTG’s revenue comes from and as of December 31, 2022, represents 98% of total revenue. We are hopeful 
that 2023 will continue to see improved results from our past efforts with both existing and new customers.  

Unbilled Revenue 

Unbilled revenue is revenue which had been earned and therefore recognized in compliance with IFRS, but 
which has not been billed to the client(s) due to contract terms and/or billing cycle. NTG derives revenue 
from  fees  charged  to  customers  for  licenses  for  software  products  and  professional  services:  support, 
consulting, development, training, and other services.  

Revenue  can  be  recognized  for  projects  based  on  time  and materials  for  professional  services,  or  on a 
percentage  of  completion  basis  for  product  implementation  and  support.  Both  can  result  in  unbilled 
revenue  until  the  customer  is  invoiced.  Based  on  NTG’s  contracts,  the  customer  is  invoiced  upon  the 
completion of defined milestones and/or the required customer acceptance. For many contracts, revenue 
is recognized each month, but billed on a quarterly basis and we anticipate this to continue. 

At December 31, 2022, unbilled revenue was $354,485 compared to $342,574 at December 31, 2021.  

Cost of Sales and Gross Margin 
Cost of sales consists of the expense of personnel providing professional services, and services to implement 
and provide technical support for our solutions. In addition, it includes an allocation of certain direct and 
indirect costs attributable to these activities. 

Cost of sales for the three months and year ending December 31, 2022 were $4,143,610 and $10,929,917 
(2021: $881,903 and $5,307,491).

2022 were $2,611,102 and $7,345,003 respectively compared to $229,027 and $3,691,305 in 2021. 

The gross margin for  the year  ending  December  31,  2022 was 38% compared to 55% in 2021. Realistic 
margins are anticipated to be between 30-40%, based on the product mix. 

Operating Expenses 
Costs for  travelling and marketing events were higher than 2021, as we participated in numerous trade 
shows including: 

  Mobile  World  Congress  (MWC)  in  Barcelona  (February  23-March3,  2022),  where  we  had  the 

opportunity to meet existing and potential customers and showcase our NTGapps software product. 

  MWC in Las Vegas (September 28-31, 2022) where we presented our network inventory and telecom 
in a box use cases that solve the urgent need for a fast, reliable digital enablement needs; all of them 
built using our 100% configurable platform - NTGapps.

companies in South Africa, Tanzania, Sudan, and introduced companies to our key products including 
NTS OSS/BSS and our NTGapps digital toolbox. 

For  the  three  months  and  year  ending  2022,  expenses  were  $1,104,607  and  $4,468,091  respectively 
compared to $2,315,416 and $3,992,545 in 2021. 

Selling and Marketing 
Selling  and  marketing  expenses  consist  primarily  of  sales  staff  remuneration,  commissions,  travel, 
advertising, consulting, and trade show costs.  

Sales and marketing expenses for the three months and year ending December 31, 2022 were $451,922 
and $1,717,956 respectively compared to $641,731 and $1,257,849 in 2021.

Though Q4 expenses were lower, our sales and marketing expenses YTD increased due to: 

  participation in several trade shows 

  an  increase  in  the  number  of  sales  staff  in  KSA and  Egypt  supported  by  the  increasing  number  of 

customers and revenue. 

General and Administrative 
General  and  administration  expenses  (G&A)  consist  primarily  of  salary  and  benefits,  rent  and  office

Foreign Exchange Gain/Loss 

Each entity in the Corporation determines its own functional currency and items included in the financial 
statements of each entity are measured using that functional currency. The functional currency and the 
presentation currency of the parent entity is the Canadian dollar.  Transactions in foreign currencies are 
initially recorded in respective functional currency rates at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and 
liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the functional currency rate at the reporting 
date. Differences are taken to the statement of profit or loss and comprehensive income. Non-monetary 
items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange 
rates as at the dates of the initial transactions.  

The functional currency of the subsidiary NTG Egypt Advanced is the Egyptian pound, and the functional 
currency of the subsidiary NTG Clarity Networks US Inc. is the US Dollar. 

An entity may present its financial statements in any currency (or currencies). If the presentation currency 
differs  from  the  entity's  functional  currency,  it  translates  its  results  and  financial  position  into  the 
presentation  currency.  For  example,  when a group contains  individual  entities with  different  functional 
currencies, the results and financial position of each entity are expressed in a common currency so that 
consolidated financial statements may be presented.  

For  practical reasons,  a rate that approximates the exchange rates at the dates  of the  transactions, for 
example an average rate for the period, is often used to translate income and expense items. However, if 
exchange rates fluctuate significantly, the use of the average rate for a period is inappropriate.  

12 

IAS 21.–47, in addition to IAS 21.–43, apply when the results and financial position of a foreign operation 
are translated into a presentation currency so that the foreign operation can be included in the financial 
statements of the reporting entity by consolidation or the equity method. 

For the quarter ended December 31, 2022, the Corporation recognized a foreign currency exchange loss of 
$147,308 compared to $344,006 for the same period in 2021. For the year ending December 31, 2022, the 
Corporation recognized a foreign currency exchange loss of $294,625 compared to a loss of $294,457 the 
year ending 2021. For more information on foreign exchange, see Note 4(b): Foreign currency translation. 

Other Expenses 

Research and Development 
With the exception of NTGapps, our flagship product, research and development is paid for by customer 
requests and is therefore, included in cost of sales.  

Provision for Bad Debt 
NTG has made a provision for bad debt in 2022 of $Nil (2021: $21,524). 

Amortization of Intangible Assets 

Intangible assets are related to the NTGapps low-code digital transformation platform initially capitalized 
in 2020 and 2021. Expenditures on development of the software are recognized as an asset from the time 
the Corporation has determined an indefinite future economic benefit exists. 

The  amortization  costs  for  the  three  months  and  year  ending  December  31,  2022  were  $78,756  and 
$277,416 respectively compared to $44,933 and $131,222 in 2021. 

Interest Expense 
As of December 31, 2022, the interest expense for the three months and year was $4,400 and $315,656 
compared to $(6,935) and $200,310 for the same periods in 2021. YTD Interest expenses increased as we 
increased/extended our long-term investment in KSA and our loan/line of credit in Egypt. 

Share-based Compensation 
NTG has a formal stock option plan allowing the issuance of options to directors, officers, employees and 
consultants in order to attract and retain qualified and experienced individuals. All options granted are non-
assignable, generally expire five years after the grant date, and usually vest over  one year  but can have 
varying vesting periods. 

No options were granted to non-employees during 2022. Stock options granted during the three months 
and year ending December 31, 2022 totalled Nil and 7,045,000 compared to 7,420,000 and 17,415,000 in 
2021. The weighted average expected contractual lives of outstanding and exercisable options are shown 
in Note 18(b). 17,565,000 options have vested and there are 17,715,000 issued. The difference of 150,000 
will vest in the foreseeable future (within the next 12 months) and the expense will be charged in the future 
quarters. 

Income Taxes 
There are no income taxes for the taxation year ending December 31, 2022 as NTG has income tax losses 
in the amount of $15,063,997 that are available for Canadian federal and provincial tax purposes which may 
be carried forward to reduce future years’ taxable income (December 31, 2021: $16,512,842). 

13 

 
 
Total Comprehensive Income after Taxes (Net Income) 
For Q4 2022, the Corporation recorded a net loss of $391,759 compared to a net income of $416,748 for 
the same period in 2021. For the year ending December 31, 2022, the Corporation recorded a net income 
of $788,434 compared to $1,363,958 in 2021.  

The  Egypt  operating segment,  for  the  three  months  ending  December 31,  2022  recorded  a  net  loss  of 
$846,779 compared to a net income of $102,129 in 2021. For the year ending December 31, 2022 there 
was a net loss of $43,356 compared to a net income of $158,673 in 2021. The devaluation of about the EGP 
resulted in a reduction in revenues for Q4 2022 of approximately $800K, and just over $750K in exchange 
loss on translation and foreign exchange loss. 

For  the  Canadian  operating  segment,  for  the  three  months  ending  December  31,  2022  recorded  a  net 
income of $455,021 compared to $314,620 in 2021. For the year ending December 31, 2022 there was a 
net income of $831,790 compared to $1,205,285 in 2021.  

Assets and non-current liabilities 

As of December 31, 2022, the Corporation closed the year with $725,020 cash on hand (2021: $158,870), 
bid/performance bonds of $17,431 (2021: $55,764) and prepaid amounts of $86,751 (2021: $64,446).  

Differences in prepaid amounts are due to the timing of insurance and rental renewals. The decrease in 
bond values compared to year-to-date 2021 occurred because of bonds that expired in Egypt KSA. There 
were no bonds in KSA. 

Property and equipment 
Property  and  equipment  of  $221,732  as  of  December  31,  2022  (2021:  $183,294)  consists  mainly  of 
computer equipment and office furniture with a useful life of 4-10 years. We are not dependent on tangible 
assets and we expect the purchase and disposal of property and equipment to be consistently modest in 
the foreseeable future. NTG had additions of $128,299 during 2022 (2021: $97,032) and depreciation of 
$89,861  (2021:  $112,873).  The  additions  were  in  Egypt  for  furniture  and  laptops  in  anticipation  of  the 
expansion  of  our  new  office.  Note  the  depreciation  includes  depreciation  of  our  right-of-use  asset  of 
$70,934 (see Note 16 for more information). 

Intangible assets 
In past years, intangible assets were related to the upgrade of our internally developed Operations Support 
System/Business  Support  System  (OSS/BSS)  software  product  called  NTS,  and  StageEM,  our  enterprise 
solution that allows companies to manage many current and/or proposed projects and maintain control of 
resources, budgets and other elements. As of December 2019, these products were impaired and removed 
from NTG’s balance sheet, though we consider both products to be valuable assets. 

In 2021 and 2022, intangible assets relate to the upgrade of our internally developed NTGapps platform. 
NTGapps is a powerful development tool that offers rapid application development and whose users need 
no knowledge of development languages. Powerful templates allow users to create their own tools for HR, 
CRM,  asset  management,  etc.  In  2022,  NTGapps  development  was  capitalized  for  $1,302,221  (2021: 
$1,451,381). The amortization cost for 2022 was $277,416 (2021: $131,222). 

An impairment test is performed on the non-current assets at year end, or when indicators warrant it. A 
test  was  performed  at  year  end  2022  and  there  was  no  impairment.  We  will  continue  to  assess  on  a 
quarterly basis for indicators of impairment. 

14 

 
 
Non-current liabilities 
As of December 31, 2022, NTG had the following non-current liabilities: 

  The outstanding indebtedness of $6,512,880 held by a numbered Company is disclosed as a long-term 

debt on the Statements of Financial Position. See Note 18(a) and Note 26 for more information. 

  An amount due from and owed to related parties includes balances owing to key management and key 

management compensation. See Note 26 for more information. 

  Several loans payable of $701,760, provided by international investors. 

Liquidity and Capital Resources 

NTG’s principal requirement for capital is to provide working capital to fund its operations and support its 
organic  growth.  Historically,  we  have  funded  operations  by  using  profits  generated  by  operations  and 
through the issuance of equity. In 2022, we funded operations, changes in non-cash working capital and 
capital expenditures using internally generated cash flows, cash on hand and short-term loans. 

As of December 31, 2022, we had a declining working capital deficit of $3,557,883 compared to a deficit of 
$3,757,061 at December 31, 2021. 

Cash Flow Provided by Operations 
The cash in-flow from operating activities for the year ending December 31, 2022 was $2,493,322 compared 
to $1,801,557 for the same period in 2021. The cash inflow differences are primarily due to a lower net 
income because of Egypt’s pound devaluation, and a $2M Shares for Debt transaction in 2021. 

Cash Flow from Financing Activities 
The cash out-flow from financing activities for the year ending December 31, 2022 was $496,652 compared 
to an out-flow of $239,498 for the same period in 2021. This was primarily due to: 

 

 

the increase in long-term debt ($121,311 compared to a decrease of $670,708 in 2021). 

the  doubling  of  interest  amounts  ($315,656  compared  to  $182,652  in  2021).  Interest  rates  have 
increased over the year and we have increased the size of the long-term debt in Egypt and the short-
term loans in KSA to support the increased activity. 

Cash Flow from Investing Activities 
Cash out-flow from investing activities for the year ending December 31, 2022, was $1,430,520 compared 
to an out-flow of $1,548,413 for the same period in 2021. This was due to the capitalization of development 
costs for our NTGapps software product and the purchase of computers and furniture associated with our 
new office in Egypt. 

Commitments and Contractual Obligations 

NTG was committed under agreements for the rental of office space in Canada at a monthly rate of $9,232 
for  the period from  June 1, 2016  to May 31, 2021. As of June 1,  2021,  we renewed the agreement and 
committed to pay $6,639 monthly for the period from June 1, 2021 to May 31, 2022 and $8,195 monthly 
for the period from June 1, 2022 to May 31, 2023. The deferred rent balance due of $80,847 that was related 
to a Forbearance Agreement signed in April 2020 was repaid in full as of March 2022. 

Subsequent to year end, we renewed the agreement and committed to pay $8,195 monthly for the period 
from June 1, 2023 to May 31, 2024 and $9,232 monthly for the period from June 1, 2024 to May 31, 2025. 

15 

Additionally, we are committed under agreements for the rental of office spaces in Egypt and Oman at a 
monthly rate ranging from $1,200 to $3,000 for the periods from August 2022 to August 2025. 

Debt and Credit Facilities 

As  of  December  31,  2022,  NTG’s  indebtedness  continues  to  be  controlled  by  a  numbered  Company, 
controlled by Ashraf Zaghloul, NTG CEO and Kristine Lewis, NTG President. The numbered Company retains 
the Indebtedness and the Security, and all the rights, title and interest together with the full benefit of all 
powers and all covenants and provisions contained in the Security. The Company has agreed to extend the 
grace period for principal installment repayments until December 2022. This has helped NTG significantly 
by helping with cash flow and reducing pressure on management to allow them to focus on business. The 
Indebtedness held by the Company is secured by a General Security Agreement (GSA) over the assets of the 
Corporation. It is listed as Long-term debt on the Interim Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. 

As of December 31, 2022, NTG Egypt Advanced Software, a subsidiary of NTG, had the following:  

  an  overdraft  facility  with  QNB  bank  in  Egypt  in  the  amount  of  7,091,454  Egyptian  pounds  (EGP) 

(approximately $389,321; 2021: $626,068) with an interest rate of 18%. 

  a  loan  with  CIB  bank  in  Egypt  in  the  amount  of  5,583,000  EGP  at  interest  rate  of  7%  per  annum, 
repayable in monthly principal payments of 232,625 EGP plus interest (approximately $306,507; 2021: 
$161,000). The loan matures on January  1,  2025.  In December 2022,  the original 3M  EGP  loan was 
renegotiated to increase the amount and extend the maturity date. 

In  2020,  NTG  received  $60,000  the  interest-free  for  the  Canadian  Emergency  Business  Account  (CEBA) 
revolving  line  of  credit.  As  of  December  31,  2022,  the  balance  owed  on  this  line  of  credit  is  $30,000. 
Subsequent  to  year  end,  as  of  the  date  of  this  report,  we  have  repaid  $8,000.  See  Note  19  for  more 
information.  

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements 

The  Corporation  has  not  entered  into  off-balance  sheet  financing  arrangements.  All  commitments  are 
reflected on the Corporation’s balance sheet.  

Transactions with Related Parties 

Transactions between the Corporation and its subsidiaries, which are related parties to the Corporation, 
have been eliminated on consolidation. Related parties include key management, the Board of Directors, 
close  family members  and  entities  which  are  controlled  by  these  individuals  as  well  as  certain  persons 
performing similar functions.  

The standard key management compensation is listed in Note 26.  

The Corporation’s long-term debt is controlled by a numbered Company, controlled by Ashraf Zaghloul, 
NTG CEO and Kristine Lewis, NTG President. 

Basis of Preparation and Significant Accounting Policies 

The  audited  consolidated  financial  statements  have  been  prepared  in  accordance  with  International 
Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). 

Significant  accounting  policies  are  presented  in  detail  in  Note  3  of  our  audited  consolidated  financial 
statements for the year ending December 31, 2022. These are available on SEDAR (www.sedar.com). The 

16 

policies applied in these statements are based on IFRS issued and outstanding as of April 26, 2023, the date 
the Board of Directors approved the consolidated financial statements. 

Proposed Transactions 

There are no Proposed Transactions. 

Business Risk and Management 

NTG’s primary risk management objective is to protect our balance sheet and cash flow. Principal financial 
liabilities are made up of a Company Indebtedness and trade and other payables. NTG has also taken on 
short-term debt from overseas to assist with cash flow. 

We are exposed to market risk, interest rate risk, foreign exchange risk, credit risk, and liquidity risk. Senior 
management oversees the management of these risks and is supported by a Committee that advises on 
financial risks and the appropriate financial risk governance framework. The Board of Directors reviews and 
agrees policies for managing risks. 

In addition to risks described elsewhere, NTG  is subject to a number of risk factors. We have significant 
reliance on certain key personnel, some of whom are also key shareholders; Ashraf Zaghloul, CEO; Kristine 
Lewis, President; and Yaser Yousef, CTO. 

Though we have worked hard to diversify our customer base, we are dependent on a few large customers. 
As  of  December  31,  2022,  35%  of  NTG’s  revenue  was  from  two  customers  (2021:  35%).  Management 
continues to work to diversify the customer base and country concentration. In 2022, 15% (2021: 34%) of 
our trade accounts receivable balance was from one customer. 

The  uncertainties  around  COVID-19  has  required  the  use  of  significant  judgement  and  estimates  as  of 
December 31, 2022, we have not noted any resulting significant impairment. 

Additional risks and uncertainties not described below or not presently known to the Corporation may also 
impact our business. If any of these risks occur, our company’s business, financial condition or results of 
operations could be harmed and the trading price of NTG’s common shares could be materially affected. 
The purpose of discussing these risks and uncertainties is to highlight factors that could cause actual results 
to differ  materially from  past results or  from  those described in forward-looking statements. It is not to 
describe  facts,  trends  and  circumstances  that  could  have  a  positive  impact  on  the  results  or  financial 
position. 

Market risk 

Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because 
of changes in market prices. Market prices comprise several types of risk: interest rate risk, currency risk, 
commodity price risk, and other price risk, such as equity risk. The Corporation is not subject to price risk 
from fluctuations in market prices of commodities and has no exposure to equity price risk.  

There  is  a  high  concentration  of  competition  in  the  telecom  industry  and  no  barrier  of  entry  for  new 
competitors into the market. Many of our competitors are larger companies that have greater resources. 
To help mitigate this risk, we have partnered with, or signed agreements to work through; a few of the large 
competitors, as we can offer seasoned resources at extremely competitive rates. 

Changes in the regulatory environment would always affect our plans and investments. As we continue to 
grow, we will continually monitor and evaluate the various policies and procedures to ensure that they 
consider any changes in the Corporation and its marketplace. 

17 

In 2022, approximately 62% of our revenue came from work done in KSA (2021: 71%). The majority of NTG’s 
KSA customers are consistently within our payment terms.  

Historically 7-11% of our revenue comes from work done through our subsidiary, NTG Egypt, based in Cairo, 
Egypt.  Since  2014,  the  contribution  percentage  has  grown  from  13.7%  to  20%  in  2022.  The  economic 
challenges in the region continue have a positive impact on our Egypt operations.  

Oman’s major customer contributed 5% of the revenue in 2022 (2021: 5%). 

Interest rate risk 

NTG's exposure to interest rate fluctuations is primarily interest paid on its indebtedness and long-term 
loans.  The  Corporation  has  performed  sensitivity  analysis  on  interest  rates  on  December  31,  2022  to 
determine how a change in interest rates would impact equity and net loss.  

During the year, NTG paid $315,656 (2021: $200,310) on its loans and liabilities. An increase or decrease of 
100 basis points in the average interest rate paid during the period would have adjusted net earnings by 
approximately $41,670 (2021: $20,031). This analysis assumes that all other variables remain constant.  

Credit risk 

Credit risk is the risk of an unexpected loss if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet 
its contractual obligation. NTG’s financial instruments that are exposed to credit risk consist primarily of trade 
receivable. Our exposure to credit risk is impacted by the economic conditions for the industry which could 
affect the customers' ability to satisfy their obligations. To reduce risks, we perform periodic credit evaluations 
of the financial conditions of its customers and typically does not require collateral from them. Management 
assesses the need for allowance for potential credit losses by considering the credit risk of specific customers, 
historical trends and other information.  

The credit quality of all the accounts receivable of the Corporation that are neither past due nor impaired 
and the age of accounts receivable that are past due but not impaired have been assessed on an individual 
basis and determined to have a mitigated risk profile due to their  payment history. NTG previously had 
receivables and pre-shipping insurance; however, we did not renew this insurance due to cash flow (see 
Note 26). This introduces a new level of risk of non-payment by customers which was not previously there. 

Devaluation of Egyptian pound 
Over the year, the Egyptian Central Bank moved the Egyptian pound (EGP) to a more flexible exchange rate 
because of the terms  of an International Monetary Fund (IMF) financial support package. By the end of 
2022 the EGP’s value dropped from around 12.3 EGP to the Canadian dollar in January to about 18.2 EGP 
in December 2022, a 48% drop in value.  

Other effects in the economy include an interest rates and inflations, with costs driven up further by higher 
global energy prices, official inflation hit 21.9 percent in December, and food prices rose 37.9 percent. This 
has resulted in NTG Egypt having to increase salaries to help personnel cope with the changing economy. 

We continue to mitigate much of the risk of doing business in the country as our expenses and the majority 
of our contracts in Egypt are both in the local currency. Management has decided to work on alternatives 
that include offshoring personnel to increase our USD revenue. 

Foreign currency risk 

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate 
because of changes in foreign exchange rates. Our exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates 

18 

relates primarily to operating activities, when revenue or expense are denominated in a different currency 
from our functional currency, the Canadian dollar. 

We do not hedge the risk related to fluctuations of the exchange rate between USA and Canadian dollars from 
the date of the sales transactions to the collection date due to the short-term nature of this exposure. The 
Corporation does not hedge the risk related to fluctuations of the exchange rate between USA and Canadian

Liquidity risk 

Liquidity  risk  is  the risk  that NTG  will  not  be able  to  meet  its  financial  obligations  as  they  fall  due. Our 
approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that we will always have sufficient liquidity 
to  meet  our  liabilities  when  due,  under  normal  and  stressed  conditions.  We  manage  liquidity  risk  by 
reviewing capital requirements on an ongoing basis. We continuously review both actual and forecasted 
cash flows to ensure that we have appropriate capital capacity. 

The following table summarizes the amount of contractual undiscounted future cash flow requirements for 
financial instruments as of December 31, 2022:

Capital Management 
NTG manages its capital,  which consists of cash provided from operations and long  term debt,  with the 
primary  objective  being  safeguarding  sufficient  working  capital  to  sustain  operations.  The  Board  of 
Directors has not established capital benchmarks or other targets.  

There have been no changes in NTG’s approach to capital management during the year ending December 
31, 2022.  Also,  no  changes  were made  in  the  objectives,  policies,  or  processes  during  the  year  ending 
December 31, 2022. We will continually assess the adequacy of our capital structure and capacity and make 
adjustments within the context of NTG’s strategy, economic conditions, and the risk characteristics of the 
business. 

NTG’s objectives when managing capital are to: 

 (i) 

(ii) 

safeguard the Corporation's ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can provide adequate 
returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders; 
fund  capital  projects  for  facilitation  of  business  expansion  provided  there  is  sufficient  liquidly  of 
capital to enable the internal financing; and 

(iii)  maintain a capital base to maintain investor, creditor, and market confidence. 

NTG  considers  the  items  included  in  the  consolidated  statements  of  changes  in  shareholders'  equity as 
capital. We manage and adjust the capital structure in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk 
characteristics of the underlying assets. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, we may issue 
new shares. We are not subject to externally imposed capital requirements. 

Legal claim contingency 

NTG is subject to a variety of claims and suits that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of business. 
Although management currently believes that resolving claims against NTG, individually or in aggregate, will 
not have a material adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows, these 
matters are subject to inherent uncertainties and management's view of these matters may change in the 
future. To date, there are no claims or suits outstanding.  

Guarantees 

NTG  indemnifies  its  directors  and  officers  against  claims  reasonably  incurred  and  resulting  from  the 
performance of their services to the Corporation. NTG has been unable to renew its Directors and Officers 
liability insurance since March 2021. The insurance remains a concern and we are looking for alternatives. 

Collateral 

NTG has pledged its assets under a General Security Agreement ("GSA") as disclosed in Note 18(a). NTG did 
not hold collateral on December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures and Internal Controls over Financial Reporting 

The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of the Corporation’s 
disclosure  controls  and  procedures  as  of  December  31,  2022  and  have  concluded  that  such  disclosure 
controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that material information relating 
to the Corporation or its subsidiaries is made known to them. 

In  contrast  to  the  certificate  required  for  non-venture  issuers  under  National  Instrument  52-109 
Certification  of  Disclosure  in  Issuers’  Annual  and  Interim  Filings  (NI  52-109),  this  Venture  Issuer  Basic 

20 

Certificate does not include representations relating to the establishment and maintenance of disclosure 
controls and procedures (DC&P) and internal control over financial reporting (ICFR), as defined in NI 52-
109. In particular, the certifying officers (CFO and CEO) filing the NI 52-109 certificate is not making any 
representations relating to the establishment and maintenance of: 

i)   controls and other procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to 
be disclosed by the issuer in its annual filings, interim filings or other reports filed or submitted under 
securities legislation is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified 
in securities legislation; and 

ii)   a  process  to  provide  reasonable  assurance  regarding  the  reliability  of  financial  reporting  and  the 
preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with the issuer’s GAAP (IFRS). 
The issuer’s certifying officers are responsible for ensuring that processes are in place to provide them with 
sufficient knowledge to support the representations they are making in the NI 52-109 certificate. Investors 
should be aware that inherent limitations on the ability of certifying officers of a venture issuer to design 
and implement on a cost-effective basis DC&P and ICFR as defined in NI 52- 109 may result in additional 
risks to the quality, reliability, transparency and timeliness of interim and annual filings and other reports 
provided under securities legislation. 

Standards issued but not yet effective 

As  of  April  26,  2023,  the  date  of  authorization  of  these  financial  statements,  certain  new  standards, 
amendments, and interpretations to existing IFRS standards have been published but are not yet effective 
and have not been adopted by the Corporation. All other standards were early adopted as explained in the 
prior year's financial statements. 

Management’s Statement of Responsibility  

The management of NTG  Clarity  Networks Inc. is responsible for  the preparation of the accompanying 
consolidated  financial  statements  and  the  preparation  and  presentation  of  information  in  the  Annual 
Report.  The  consolidated  financial  statements  have  been  prepared  in  accordance  with  International 
Financial Reporting Standards, and are considered by management to present fairly the financial  position 
and operating results of the Corporation. 

The  Corporation  maintains  various  systems  of  internal  control  to  provide  reasonable  assurance  that 
transactions are properly authorized and recorded, that assets are safeguarded, and that financial reports 
are properly maintained to provide reliable financial statements. 

The  Corporation's  audit  committee  is  comprised  of  independent  directors  and  a  management 
representative and is appointed by the Board of Directors annually. The committee meets periodically with 
the Corporation's management and independent auditors to review the consolidated financial statements 
and  the  independent  auditors  report.  The  audit  committee  has  approved  the  consolidated  financial 
statements and reported its findings to the Board of Directors. 

The Corporation's independent auditors, NVS Professional Corporation, have examined the consolidated 
financial statements and their report follows.

Independent Auditor’s Report 

To the Shareholders of 
NTG Clarity Networks Inc.: 

Report on the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements  

Opinion 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of NTG Clarity Networks Inc. and its subsidiaries (the 
"Corporation"), which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 
2021, and the consolidated statements of profit and loss and comprehensive income, consolidated statements of changes in 
equity and consolidated statements of cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, 
including a summary of significant accounting policies. 

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated 
financial  position  of  the  Corporation  as  at  December  31,  2022  and  December  31,  2021,  and  its  consolidated  financial 
performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then  ended in  accordance with International Financial Reporting 
Standards (IFRS). 

Basis for Opinion 

We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards.  Our responsibilities under those 
standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section 
of our report. We are independent of the Corporation in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our 
audit of the consolidated financial statements in Canada, and we have fulfilled our ethical responsibilities in accordance with 
these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for 
our opinion. 

Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern 

We draw attention to Note 2 in the consolidated financial statements, which indicates that the Corporation has attained income 
from operations of $788,434 (2021: $1,363,958) during the year ended December 31, 2022 and, as of that date, the Corporation 
has an accumulated deficit of $22,178,630 and current assets are less than current liabilities by a ratio of 1:1.80. As stated in 
Note 2, these events or conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 2, indicate that a material uncertainty exists 
that may cast significant doubt on the Corporation’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect 
of this matter. 

Other Information 
Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises: 

•  Management's Discussion and Analysis 
• 

The information, other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon, in the Annual Report. 

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not and will not express any form of 
assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other 
information  identified  above  and,  in  doing  so,  consider  whether  the  other  information  is  materially  inconsistent  with  the 
financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. 

We obtained Management's Discussion and Analysis prior to the date of this auditor's report. If, based  on the work we have 
performed  on  this other  information, we conclude  that there is a material misstatement of  this other  information,  we are 
required to report that fact in this auditor's report. We have nothing to report in this regard. 

22 

 
 
 
The Annual Report is expected to be made available to us after the date of the auditor's report. If, based on the work we will 
perform on this other information, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required 
to report that fact to those charged with governance. 

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements 

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance 
with IFRS, and for  such internal control as management determines  is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated 
financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. 

In  preparing  the  consolidated  financial  statements,  management  is  responsible  for  assessing  the  Corporation’s  ability  to 
continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of 
accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Corporation or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative 
but to do so. 

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Corporation’s financial reporting process. 

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free 
from  material  misstatement,  whether  due  to  fraud  or  error,  and  to  issue  an  auditor’s  report  that  includes  our  opinion. 
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Canadian 
generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from 
fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence 
the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements. 

As part of an audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards, we exercise professional judgment and 
maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also: 

• 

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or 
error, design and perform audit procedures responsive  to those risks, and obtain  audit  evidence that is sufficient and 
appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is 
higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, 
or the override of internal control. 

•  Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate 
in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Corporation’s internal 
control. 

• 

Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related 
disclosures made by management. 

•  Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit 
evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on 
the Corporation’s ability to continue as  a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required 
to draw attention in our auditor’s  report to the related disclosures  in the consolidated financial statements or,  if such 
disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the 
date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Corporation to cease to continue as a 
going concern. 

23 

23 

 
 
 
 
 

Evaluate  the  overall  presentation,  structure,  and  content  of  the  consolidated  financial  statements,  including  the 
disclosures,  and  whether  the  consolidated  financial  statements  represent  the  underlying  transactions  and  events  in  a 
manner that achieves fair presentation. 

•  Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within 
the Corporation to express  an opinion  on  the consolidated  financial statements. We are responsible for  the direction, 
supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.  

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the 
audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. 

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements 
regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought 
to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards. 

The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor’s report is Sadik Najarali.

CORPORATE INFORMATION 

NTG Clarity Networks Inc. (the “Corporation”) is domiciled in Canada and its shares are traded publicly 
on the TSX Venture Exchange under ticker symbol NCI.V. The Corporation is domiciled in Canada and 
was incorporated on May 15, 2001 under the laws of Alberta. The Corporation’s principal and registered 
office is Suite 202, 2820 14th Avenue, Markham, Ontario, L3R 0S9. 

The  Corporation  provides  network,  telecom,  IT  and  infrastructure  solutions  to  medium  and  large 
network service providers. The Corporation specializes in providing telecommunications engineering, 
networking and related software solutions and has developed niche software products directed at the 
telecom  service providers.  NTG  continues to offer  professional telecom  and IT services in the North 
American and Middle Eastern markets. 

The  telecom  industry  is  subject  to  rapid  and  substantial  technological  change  which  could  reduce 
marketability of the Corporation’s technology and services. 

2.  GOING CONCERN 

The Corporation prepares consolidated financial statements on a going concern basis which presume 
the realization of assets and discharge of liabilities in a normal course of business for the foreseeable 
future. The Corporation’s ability to continue operations and to realize assets at their carrying values is 
dependent  upon  generating  revenues  sufficient  to  cover  its  operating  costs,  obtaining  additional 
financing aid and the continued support of its shareholders. 

As at December 31, 2022, the Corporation had a working capital deficit of $3,557,883 (2021: deficit of 
$3,757,061), Income from operations of $2,254,305 (2021: $2,595,907), and accumulated losses since 
inception of $22,178,630 (2021: $23,426,487). 

The financial statements have been prepared under  the assumption that the Corporation is a going 
concern and will continue to be in operation for the foreseeable future. 

3.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION 

The audited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for 
certain financial instruments that have been measured at fair value.

3.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION (cont’d) 

Statement of Compliance 
The audited consolidated financial statements of the Corporation have been prepared in accordance 
with  International  Financial  Reporting  Standards  (IFRS)  as  issued  by  the  International  Accounting 
Standards  Board  (IASB),  London,  and  the  Interpretations  of  the  International  Financial  Reporting 
Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) and in effect at the closing date of April 26, 2023. 

Management of the Corporation prepared the consolidated financial statements of the Corporation 
during January and February 2023, and the Board of Directors approved them. The Audit Committee of 
the Corporation discussed the audited consolidated financial statements at its  meeting on April 26, 
2023, and the Board of Directors approved them at its meeting on April 26, 2023.  

The audited consolidated financial statements of the Corporation are presented in Canadian dollars. 
Amounts are stated in Canadian dollars except where otherwise indicated. The financial statements of 
the individual companies is prepared as of the closing date of the Corporation’s financial statements 
using the same accounting policies. 

In  the  audited  consolidated  statement  of  profit  and  loss  and  comprehensive  income,  consolidated 
statement of financial position, consolidated statement of cash flows, and consolidated statement of 
changes in equity, certain items are combined for the sake of clarity. These are explained within the 
notes. The consolidated statement of profit and loss and comprehensive income is prepared using the 
cost-of-sales method. Assets and liabilities are classified by maturity. They are regarded as current if 
they  mature  within  one  year  or  within  the  normal  business  cycle  of  the  Corporation.  The  normal 
business cycle is defined for this purpose as beginning with the procurement of the resources necessary 
for the production process and ending with the receipt of cash or cash equivalents as consideration for 
the sale of  the goods or services produced in  that process. Trade accounts receivable and payable, 
claims for tax refunds, and tax liabilities are always presented as current items; deferred tax assets and 
liabilities, if any, are presented as non- current items. Provisions (if any), debt and other liabilities are 
shown between current and non- current. 

4. 

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

(a)  Basis of consolidation 

The audited consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Corporation 
and its subsidiaries as at December 31, 2022. 

The  subsidiaries  are  fully  consolidated  from  the  date  of  acquisition,  being  the date  on  which  the 
Corporation obtains control, and continues to be consolidated until the date that such control ceases. 
The financial statements of the subsidiary is prepared for the same reporting period as the parent 
corporation  using  consistent  accounting  policies.  All  intra-group  balances,  income  and  expenses, 
unrealized  gains  and  losses,  and  dividends  resulting  from  intra-group  transactions,  if  any,  are 
eliminated in full.  

A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a change of control, is accounted for as 
an equity transaction.

4.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d) 

(a)  Basis of consolidation (cont’d) 

The subsidiary of the Corporation as of December 31, 2022 is its 95% owned subsidiary, NTG Egypt 
Advanced Software, and its wholly owned U.S. subsidiary, NTG Clarity Networks US Inc. 

(b)  Foreign currency transaction 

Translation to the presentation currency 

Each  entity  in  the  Corporation  determines  its  own  functional  currency  and  items  included  in  the 
financial  statements  of  each  entity  are  measured  using  that  functional  currency.  The  functional 
currency and the presentation currency of the parent entity is the Canadian dollar. Transactions in 
foreign  currencies  are  initially recorded  in respective  functional  currency  rates at  the  date  of  the 
transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the 
functional currency rate at the reporting date. Differences are taken to the statement of profit or loss 
and comprehensive income. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a 
foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates as at the dates of the initial transactions.  

The  functional  currency  of  the  subsidiary  NTG  Egypt  Advanced  is  the  Egyptian  pound,  and  the 
functional currency of the subsidiary NTG Clarity Networks US Inc. is the US Dollar. 

An entity may  present its financial statements in any currency (or  currencies).  If the presentation 
currency differs from the entity's functional currency, it translates its results and financial position 
into the presentation currency. For example, when a group contains individual entities with different 
functional currencies,  the results and financial position of each entity are expressed in a common 
currency so that consolidated financial statements may be presented.  

The  results  and  financial  position  of  an  entity  whose  functional  currency  is  not the  currency  of  a 
hyperinflationary  economy  shall  be  translated  into  a  different  presentation  currency  using  the 
following procedures: 

  Assets  and  liabilities  for  each  statement  of  financial  position  presented  (i.e.  including 
comparatives) shall be translated at the closing rate at the date of that statement of financial 
position; 

 

Income  and  expenses  for  each  statement  presenting  profit  or  loss  and  other  comprehensive 
income  (i.e.  including  comparatives)  shall  be  translated  at  exchange rates at  the  dates  of  the 
transactions; and 

  All resulting exchange differences shall be recognized in other comprehensive income. 

For practical reasons, a rate that approximates the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions, 
for  example an average rate for  the period, is often used to translate income and expense items. 
However,  if  exchange  rates  fluctuate  significantly,  the  use  of  the  average  rate  for  a  period  is 
inappropriate.

4.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d) 

(b) Foreign currency transaction (cont'd) 

Translation to the presentation currency (cont’d) 

The exchange differences referred to in IAS 21.39(c) result from: 

  Translating income and expenses at the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions and assets 

and liabilities at the closing rate. 

  Translating the opening net assets at a closing rate that differs from the previous closing rate. 

These exchange differences are not recognized in profit or loss because the changes in exchange rates 
have little or no direct effect on the present and future cash flows from operations. The cumulative 
amount of the exchange differences is presented in a separate component of equity until disposal of 
the  foreign  operation.  When  the  exchange  differences  relate  to  a  foreign  operation  that  is 
consolidated but not wholly-owned, accumulated exchange differences arising from translation and 
attributable to non-controlling interests are allocated to, and recognized as part of, non-controlling 
interests in the consolidated statement of financial position. 

The  results  and  financial  position  of  an  entity  whose  functional  currency  is  the  currency  of  a 
hyperinflationary  economy  shall  be  translated  into  a  different  presentation  currency  using  the 
following procedures: 

  All amounts (i.e. assets, liabilities, equity items, income and expenses, including comparatives) 
shall  be  translated  at  the  closing  rate  at  the  date  of  the  most  recent  statement  of  financial 
position, except that 

  When  amounts  are  translated  into  the  currency  of  a  non-hyperinflationary  economy, 
comparative amounts shall be those that were presented as current year amounts in the relevant 
prior  year  financial statements (i.e. not adjusted  for  subsequent changes in  the price level or 
subsequent changes in exchange rates). 

When an entity's functional currency is the currency of a hyperinflationary economy, the entity shall 
restate its financial statements in accordance with before applying the translation method set out in 
IAS  21.,  except  for  comparative  amounts  that  are  translated  into  a  currency  of  a  non- 
hyperinflationary economy (see IAS 21.42(b)). When the economy ceases to be hyperinflationary and 
the entity no longer restates its financial statements in accordance with IAS 29, it shall use as the 
historical costs for translation into the presentation currency the amounts restated to the price level 
at the date the entity ceased restating its financial statements. 

Translation of a foreign operation 

IAS  21.–47,  in  addition  to  IAS  21.–43,  apply  when  the  results  and  financial  position  of  a  foreign 
operation are translated into a presentation currency so that the foreign operation can be included 
in the financial statements of the reporting entity by consolidation or the equity method.

4.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d) 

(b)  Foreign currency transaction (cont'd) 

Translation of a foreign operation (cont’d) 

The  incorporation  of  the  results  and  financial  position  of  a  foreign  operation  with  those  of  the 
reporting  entity  follows  normal  consolidation  procedures,  such  as  the  elimination  of  intra-group 
balances  and  intra-group  transactions  of  a  subsidiary  (see  Consolidated  Financial  Statements). 
However, an intra-group monetary asset (or liability), whether short-term or long-term, cannot be 
eliminated against the corresponding intra-group liability (or asset) without showing the results of 
currency fluctuations in the consolidated financial statements.  This is because the monetary  item 
represents a commitment to convert one currency into another and exposes the reporting entity to 
a gain or loss through currency fluctuations. Accordingly, in the consolidated financial statements of 
the reporting entity, such an exchange difference is recognized in profit or loss or,  if it arises from 
the  circumstances  described  in  IAS  21,  it  is  recognized  in  other  comprehensive  income  and 
accumulated in a separate component of equity until the disposal of the foreign operation. 

When  the  financial  statements  of  a  foreign  operation  are as  of  a  date  different  from  that  of  the 
reporting entity, the foreign operation often prepares additional statements as of the same date as 
the reporting entity's financial statements. When this is not done, allows the use of a different date 
provided  that  the  difference  is  no  greater  than  three  months  and  adjustments  are  made  for  the 
effects of any significant transactions or other events that occur between the different dates.  In such 
a case, the assets and liabilities of the foreign operation are translated at the exchange rate at the 
end of the reporting period of the foreign operation. Adjustments are made for significant changes 
in exchange rates up to the end of the reporting period of the reporting entity in accordance with 
IFRS 10.   

Disposal or partial disposal of a foreign operation 

On the disposal of a foreign operation, the cumulative amount of the exchange differences relating 
to  that  foreign  operation,  recognized  in  other  comprehensive  income  and  accumulated  in  the 
separate component of equity, shall be reclassified from equity to profit or loss (as a reclassification 
adjustment) when the gain or loss on disposal is recognized. 

In addition to the disposal of an entity's entire interest in a foreign operation, the following  partial 
disposals are accounted for as disposals: 

  When  the  partial  disposal  involves  the  loss  of  control  of  a  subsidiary  that  includes  a  foreign 
operation,  regardless  of  whether  the  entity  retains  a  non-controlling  interest  in  its  former 
subsidiary after the partial disposal; and 

  When the retained interest after the partial disposal of an interest in a joint arrangement or a 
partial disposal of an interest in an associate that includes a foreign operation is a financial asset 
that includes a foreign operation. 

On disposal of a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation, the cumulative amount of the exchange 
differences  relating  to  that  foreign  operation  that  have  been  attributed  to  the  non-controlling 
interests shall be unrecognized, but shall not be reclassified to profit or loss.

(b)  Foreign currency transaction (cont'd) 

Disposal or partial disposal of a foreign operation (cont’d) 

On the partial disposal of a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation, the entity shall re- attribute 
the proportionate share of the cumulative amount of the exchange differences recognized in other 
comprehensive income to the non-controlling interests in that foreign operation. In any other partial 
disposal of a foreign operation the entity shall reclassify to profit or loss only the proportionate share 
of the cumulative amount of the exchange differences recognized in other comprehensive income. 

A partial disposal of an entity's interest in a foreign operation is any reduction in an entity's ownership 
interest  in  a  foreign  operation,  except  those  reductions  in  paragraph  that  are  accounted  for  as 
disposals. 

An  entity  may  dispose  or  partially  dispose  of  its  interest  in  a  foreign  operation  through  sale, 
liquidation, repayment of share capital or abandonment of all, or part of, that entity. A write-down 
of  the  carrying  amount  of  a  foreign  operation,  either  because  of  its  own  losses  or  because  of  an 
impairment recognized by the investor, does not constitute a partial disposal. Accordingly, no part of 
the foreign exchange gain or loss recognized in other comprehensive income is reclassified to profit 
or loss at the time of a write-down.  

 (c)  Revenue Recognition 

The Corporation derives revenue from fees charged to customers for licenses for software products 
and professional services: support, consulting,  development, training, and other services. Some of 
the Corporation's software arrangements include product sales and professional services.  

If, for any of the Corporation's product or service offerings, the Corporation determines at the outset 
of  an  arrangement  that  the  amount  of  revenue  cannot  be  measured  reliably,  the  Corporation 
concludes that the inflow of economic benefits associated with the transaction is not probable and 
defers revenue until the arrangement fee becomes due and payable by the customer. If, at the outset 
of an arrangement, it is determined that collectability is not probable, the Corporation concludes that 
the inflow of economic benefits associated with the transaction is not probable, and recognition of 
revenue is deferred until the earlier of when collectability becomes probable or payment is received. 
If collectability becomes unlikely before all revenue from an arrangement is recognized, revenue is 
recognized only to the extent of the fees that are successfully collected unless collectability becomes 
reasonably assured again. If a customer is specifically identified as a bad debtor, the Corporation stops 
recognizing  revenue  from  this  customer  except  to  the  extent  of  the  fees  that  have  already  been 
collected.  

Software revenue represents fees earned from the sale or license of software to customers for use 
on the customer’s premises, in other words, where the customer has the right to take possession of 
the software for installation on the customer’s premises (on-premise software). The fee of the sale is 
recognized  net  of  returns  and  allowances,  trade  discounts,  and  volume  rebates.  In  general,  the 
Corporation's software license agreements do not include acceptance-testing provisions.

4.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d) 

(c)  Revenue Recognition (cont'd) 

If an arrangement allows for customer acceptance-testing of the software, revenue is deferred until 
the earlier of customer acceptance or when the acceptance right lapses. The Corporation may enter 
into  customer-specific  on-premise  software  development  agreements.  Software  revenue  in 
connection with these arrangements is recognized using the percentage-of completion method based 
on  contract  costs  incurred  to  date  as  a  percentage  of  total  estimated  contract  costs  required  to 
complete the development work. If there is no sufficient basis to reasonably measure the progress of 
completion or to estimate the total contract revenue and costs, revenue is recognized only to the 
extent of the contract costs incurred for  which recoverability is believed  to be  probable.  When it 
becomes that total contract costs exceed total contract revenue in an arrangement, the expected 
losses are recognized immediately as an expense based on the costs attributable to the contract.  

On-premise software may combine software and support service elements, as under these contracts 
the  customer  is  provided  with  current  software  products,  rights  to  receive  unspecified  future 
software  products,  and  rights  to  services  during  the  on-premise  software  subscription  term. 
Customers pay a periodic fee for a defined subscription term, and such fees are recognized ratably 
over the term of the arrangement beginning with the delivery of the first product. 

Support revenue represents fees earned from providing customers with unspecified future software 
updates,  upgrades,  and  enhancements,  and  technical  product  support  for  on-premise  software 
products. Support revenue is recognized based on the Corporation's performance under the support 
arrangements. Under the major support services the Corporation's performance obligation is to stand 
ready to provide technical product support and to provide unspecified updates and enhancements 
on a when and- if-available basis. For these support services, revenue is recognized ratably over the 
term  of  the  support  arrangement.  Consulting  and  other  service  revenue  is  recognized  when  the 
services are performed. Consulting revenue primarily results from implementation contracts to install 
and  configure  our  software  products  and  offerings.    Other  service  revenue  consists  of  fees  from 
training services. Training services provide educational services to customers and partners regarding 
the use of our software products. Training revenue is recognized when the services are rendered.  

Some arrangements contain multiple elements. Software, consulting and other service deliverables 
are accounted for as separate units of accounting and allocate revenue based on fair value. Fair value 
is determined by establishing either corporation-specific objective evidence, or an estimated stand-
alone  selling  price.  Revenue  from  multiple-element  arrangements  is  allocated  to  the  different 
elements  based  on  their  individual  fair  values.  The  revenue  amounts  allocated  to  the  individual 
elements are recognized when the revenue recognition criteria described above have been met for 
the respective element.  

The  Corporation  determines  the  fair  value  of  and  allocate  revenue  to  each  element  based  on  its 
corporation-specific objective evidence of fair value, which is the price charged when that element is 
sold separately or, for elements not yet sold separately, the price established by management if it is 
probable that the price will not change before the element is sold separately.

(c)  Revenue Recognition (cont'd) 

Revenues from customers of Zaha Tech (Note 29) are recognized on a net basis, as the Corporation 
does not control the services provided by Zaha Tech to the end user. NTG invoices the customers of 
Zaha Tech, and retains a 10% administrative fee upon receipt of the funds from the customer. All 
liabilities of the contract lie with Zaha Tech and NTG holds no obligation for the performance of the 
contract. 

(d)  Taxes 

Current income tax 

Current  income  tax  assets  and  liabilities  for  the  respective  and  prior  years  are  measured  at  the 
amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the Canadian taxation authorities. The tax rates 
and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted, by 
the reporting date, in the country where the Corporation operates and generates taxable income. 

Current income tax relating to items recognized directly in equity is recognized in equity and not in 
the  statement  of  profit  and  loss  and  comprehensive  income.  Management  periodically  evaluates 
positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are 
subject  to  interpretation  and  establishes  provisions  where  appropriate  in accordance  with  IAS 37 
Provisions, Contingent Liabilities, and Contingent Assets. 

Deferred tax 

Deferred tax is provided using the liability method on temporary differences at the reporting date 
between  the  tax  bases  of  assets  and  liabilities  and  their  carrying  amounts  for  financial  reporting 
purposes. 

Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences, except: 

  Where  the  deferred  tax  liability  arises  from  an  asset  or  liability  in  a  transaction  that  is  not  a 
business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor 
taxable profit or loss. 

 

In respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in the subsidiary where 
the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that 
the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future 

Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, carry forward of unused 
tax credits and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will  be available 
against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry forward of unused tax credits and 
unused tax losses can be utilized, except: 

  Where  the  deferred  tax asset  relating  to  the  deductible  temporary  difference  arises  from  the 
initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at 
the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss.

(d)  Taxes (cont'd) 

Deferred tax (cont’d) 

 

In  respect  of  deductible  temporary  differences  associated  with  investments  in  the  subsidiary, 
deferred  tax  assets  are  recognized  only  to  the  extent  that  it  is  probable  that    the  temporary 
differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which 
the temporary differences can be utilized. 

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the 
extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part 
of the deferred tax asset to be utilized.  

Unrecognized deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and are recognized to the 
extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax asset to be 
recovered. 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the 
period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates and tax laws that have 
been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. 

Deferred tax relating to items recognized outside profit or loss is recognized outside profit or  loss. 
Deferred  tax  items  are  recognized  in  correlation  to  the  underlying  transaction  either  in  other 
comprehensive income or directly in equity. 

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset, if a legally enforceable right exists to  set off 
current  tax  assets  against  current  income  tax  liabilities  and  the  deferred  tax  relates  to  the  same 
taxable entity and the same taxation authority.  

Sales tax 

Revenues, expenses, liabilities and assets are recognized net of the amount of sales tax except: 

•  Where  the  sales  tax  incurred  on  a  purchase  of  assets  or  services  is  not  recoverable  from  the 
taxation authority, in which case the sales tax is recognized as part of the cost of acquisition of 
the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable. 

•  Receivables and payables that are stated with the amount of sales tax included. 

The net amount of sales tax recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part 
of receivables or payables in the statement of financial position. 

 (e) Government grants and assistance and investment tax credit 

Government  grants  and assistance  are  recognized  where  there  is  reasonable  assurance  that  the 
grant or assistance will be received and all attached conditions will be complied with. When the 
grant or assistance relates to an expense item, it is recognized as income over the period necessary 
to match the grant or assistance on a systematic basis to the costs that it is intended to compensate. 
Where the grant relates to an asset, it reduces the carrying amount of the asset.

(e)  Government grants and assistance and investment tax credit (cont’d) 

The grant is then recognized as income over the useful life of a depreciable asset by way of a reduced 
depreciation charge. When government assistance is received which relates to expenses of future 
periods, the amount is deferred and amortized to income as the related expenditures are incurred.  

 (f)  Financial instruments - initial recognition and subsequent measurement 

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when the Corporation becomes party to the 
contractual provisions of the financial instrument. 

Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transactions costs that 
are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial instruments classified as amortized 
costs or FVTOCI are included with the carrying amount of such instruments. Transaction costs that 
are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of the financial instruments classified as fair value 
through  profit  and  loss  (FVTPL)  are  recognized  immediately  in  the  profit  or  loss  within  the 
consolidated statements of comprehensive income. 

 (i)  Financial assets 

The corporation classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories: those to 
be  measured  at  amortized  cost  and  those  to  be  measured  subsequently  at  fair  value  (either 
through  other  comprehensive  income  (FVTOCI),  or  through  profit  or  loss  (FVTPL)).  The 
classification depends on the entity's business model for managing the financial assets and the 
contractual terms of cash flows. 

Financial assets at amortized cost 

Financial  assets  that  meet  the  following  conditions  are  measured  at  amortized  cost  less 
impairment losses: the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold 
financial assets in order to collect contractual cash-flows; the contractual terms of the financial 
asset give rise on specific dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest 
on the principal amount outstanding; and the financial asset was not acquired principally for the 
purpose of selling in the near term or for short-term profit making (held-for-trading). 

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) 

All other financial assets, except equity and debt instruments as described below, are remeasured 
at fair value and classified as fair value through profit or loss. The gains or losses, if any, arising 
on remeasurement of FVTPL are recognized in profit or loss within the consolidated statements 
of comprehensive income. 

The method of measurement of instruments in debt instruments will depend on the business 
model in which the instrument is held. For instruments in equity instruments, it will depend on 
whether the Corporation has made an irrevocable election at the time of initial recognition to 
account for the equity instrument at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI).

4.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d) 

 (f)  Financial instruments - initial recognition and subsequent measurement (cont'd) 

(i)  Financial assets (cont’d) 

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) (cont’d) 

Financial assets with embedded derivatives are considered in their  entirety when determining 
whether their cash flows are solely payment of principal and interest.  

(ii)  Financial liabilities 

Financial liabilities are classified as FVTPL when the financial liability is either held-for-trading or 
is  designated  at  FVTPL.  Financial  liabilities  at  FVTPL  are  remeasured  in  subsequent  reporting 
periods at fair value. Any gains or losses arising on remeasurement of held for trading financial 
liabilities are recognized in profit or loss within the consolidated statements of comprehensive 
income. Such gains or losses recognized in profit or loss includes any interest paid on the financial 
liabilities. Financial liabilities that are not held for trading and are not designated as FVTPL are 
measured at amortized cost. The carrying amounts of financial liabilities that are measured at 
amortized cost are determined based on the effective interest rate method. The effective interest 
method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a financial liability (or financial asset) and 
of  allocating  interest  expense  (or  income)  over  the  expected  life  of  the  financial  liability  (or 
financial asset). All financial assets and financial liabilities held by the Corporation are measured 
at amortized cost.  

Impairment 

The Corporation assesses on a forward-looking basis the expected credit losses associated with 
its assets carried at amortized cost and FVTOCI. The impairment methodology applied depends 
on whether  there has been a significant increase in credit risk.  For trade receivables only, the 
Corporation  applies  the  simplified  approach  permitted  by  IFRS  9,  which  requires  expected 
lifetime losses to be recognized from initial recognition of the receivables. 

The Corporation has applied IFRS 9 retrospectively, but has elected not to restate comparative 
information as there is no impact on the financial statements of the Corporation from adopting 
IFRS  9.  As  a  result,  the  comparative  information  provided  continues  to  be  accounted  for  in 
accordance  with  the  Corporation’s  previous  accounting  policy  which  reflects  the  same 
measurement of IFRS 9. 

The accounting policies were changed to comply with the full requirements of IFRS 9 as issued by 
the IASB. IFRS 9 replaces the provisions of IAS 39 that relate to the recognition, classification and 
measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities; derecognition of financial instruments; 
impairment  of  financial  assets  and  hedge  accounting.  IFRS  9  also  significantly  amends  other 
standards dealing  with financial instruments such as IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures. 
The  total  impact  on  retained  earnings  due  to  classification  and  measurement  of  financial 
instruments as at January 1, 2016 and the date of these financial statements was Nil.

(iii)  Offsetting of financial instruments 

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the statement 
of  financial  position  if,  and  only  if,  there  is  a  currently  enforceable  legal  right  to  offset  the 
recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realize the assets and 
settle the liabilities simultaneously. 

 (g) Compound instruments 

The  component  parts  of  compound  instruments  (e.g.,  debt  issued  with  warrants)  issued  by  the 
Corporation  are  classified  separately  as  financial  liabilities  and  equity  in  accordance  with  the 
substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity 
instrument.  At  the  date  of  issue,  the  fair  value  of  the  liability  component  is  estimated  using  the 
prevailing market interest rate for similar debt without warrants. This amount is recorded as a liability 
on  the  amortized  cost  basis  using  the  effective  interest  method  until  extinguished  or  at    the 
instrument’s maturity date.  

The warrants classified as equity are determined by deducting the amount of the liability component 
from the fair value of the instrument as a whole. This is recognized and included in equity and is not 
subsequently remeasured.  Warrants classified as equity will remain in equity until the conversion 
option is exercised, in which case the balance recognized in equity will be transferred to common 
shares  within  equity.  When  the  warrants  remain  unexercised  at  their  maturity date,  the  balance 
recognized in equity will be transferred to retained earnings or deficit. No gain or loss is recognized 
in profit or loss upon conversion or expiration of the warrants. Transaction costs that relate to the 
issue of the instruments are allocated to the liability and  equity components in proportion to the 
allocation of the gross proceeds. Transaction costs relating to the equity component are recognized 
directly in equity. Transaction costs relating to the liability component are included in the carrying 
amount of the liability component and are amortized over  the life of the debt  using the effective 
interest method.  

(h)  Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting 

The Corporation has not entered into any derivative financial instruments and has not applied hedge 
accounting for the years ending December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. 

 (i)  Treasury shares 

Equity instruments of the entity which are reacquired (treasury shares) are recognized at cost and 
deducted  from  equity.  No  gain  or  loss  is  recognized  in  the  statement  of  profit  and  loss  and 
comprehensive income on the purchase, sale, issue, or cancellation of the Corporation’s own equity 
instruments.  Any  difference  between  the  carrying  amount  and  the  consideration  is  recognized  in 
capital reserves.

 (j)  Property and equipment 

Property  and  equipment  is  stated  at  cost,  net  of  accumulated  depreciation  and  accumulated 
impairment losses (if any). Such cost includes the cost of replacing part of the property and equipment 
and borrowing costs for long-term construction projects if  the recognition criterion are met. When 
significant parts of property and equipment are required to be replaced in intervals, the Corporation 
recognizes such parts as individual assets with specific useful lives and depreciation,  respectively. 
Likewise, when a major inspection is performed, its cost is recognized in the carrying amount of the 
property and equipment as a replacement if the recognition criteria are satisfied. All other repair and 
maintenance costs are recognized in the statement of profit and loss and comprehensive income as 
incurred. The present value of the expected cost for the decommissioning of the asset, if any, after 
its use is included in the cost of the respective asset if the recognition criteria for a provision are met. 

Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset as follows: 

Computer software  
Computer equipment  
Office equipment  
Leasehold improvements  

Straight-line 1-2 years 
Straight-line 2-4 years 
Straight-line 4-10 years 
Straight-line over the lesser of the expected term of the 
lease or the useful life of the asset  

An item of property and equipment and any significant part initially recognized is derecognized upon 
disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use. Any gain or loss arising on 
derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the 
carrying  amount  of  the  asset)  is  included  in  the  statement  of  profit  and  loss  and  comprehensive 
income when the asset is derecognized. 

The assets’ residual values, useful lives, and methods of depreciation are reviewed at each financial 
year end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate. 

(k)  Leases 

Finance leases, which transfer to the Corporation substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to 
ownership of the leased item, are capitalized at the commencement of the lease at the fair value of 
the leased property or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. Lease payments 
are  apportioned  between  finance  charges  and  reduction  of  the  lease  liability  so  as  to  achieve  a 
constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are recognized in 
the statement of profit and loss and comprehensive income.  

Leased assets are depreciated over  the useful life of the asset. However,  if there is no reasonable 
certainty  that  the  Corporation  will  obtain  ownership  by  the  end  of  the  lease  term,  the  asset  is 
depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset and the lease term. 

Operating  lease  payments  are  recognized  as  an  expense  in  the  statement  of  profit  and  loss  and 
comprehensive income on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

4.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d) 

(l)  Borrowing costs 

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction, or production of an asset that 
necessarily takes a substantial year of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalized as 
part of the cost of  the respective assets.  All other  borrowing  costs are expensed in the year  they 
occur. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that the Corporation incurs in connection 
with the borrowing of funds. For the years ending December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the 
Corporation did not capitalize any borrowing cost. 

(m) Intangible assets 

Intangible  assets  acquired separately  are measured  on  initial  recognition at  cost.  Following  initial 
recognition,  intangible  assets  are  carried  at  cost  less  any  accumulated  amortization  and  any 
accumulated impairment losses. Certain internally generated intangible assets are capitalized, as they 
meet the criterion under IAS 38. 

(n)  Inventories 

Inventories are measured at the lower  of cost and net realizable value.  Net realizable value is the 
estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and 
the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. 

(o)  Product development costs 

Research and product development costs include out-of-pocket cost and direct overhead. Research 
costs are expensed as incurred.  Product development costs are expensed as incurred unless they 
meet the IAS 38 criterion for deferral and amortization. 

Development  activities  involve  a  plan  or  design  for  the  production  of  a  new  core  of  substantially 
improved products and processes. Development expenditure is capitalized only if development costs 
can  be  measured  reliably,  the  product  or  process  is  technically  and  commercially  feasible,  future 
economic  benefits  are  probable,  and  the  Corporation  intends  to  and  has  sufficient  resources  to 
complete development and to use or sell the asset. The expenditure capitalized includes the cost of 
materials, direct labour and overhead costs that are directly attributable to preparing the asset for 
its intended use. All other development expenditure is recognized in statement of profit and loss and 
comprehensive income as incurred.  

Capitalized  development  costs  (intangible  asset)  with  finite  useful  lives  are  amortized  over  their 
estimated useful lives. The amortization methods and estimated useful lives of intangible assets are 
reviewed annually. Intangible assets are tested for impairment as required by IAS 38 and IAS 36 if 
there are indicators of impairment. If any such indication exists, the asset’s recoverable amount is 
estimated. An impairment loss is recognized whenever the carrying amount of the intangible assets 
or the cash-generating unit exceeds their recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognized in 
the statements of comprehensive income. Amortization is provided on a straight-line basis over 10 
years.

4.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d) 

(p)  Impairment of non-financial assets 

The Corporation assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset or cash 
generating unit (CGU) may be impaired. If any indication exists, or when annual impairment testing 
for an asset is required, the Corporation estimates the asset’s (CGU) recoverable amount. An asset’s 
(CGU) recoverable amount is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. 
Where  the  carrying amount  of  an  asset  exceeds  its  recoverable  amount,  the  asset  is  considered 
impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. In assessing  value in use,  the estimated 
future cash flows are discounted to their  present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects 
current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or cash-
generating unit (CGU). In determining fair value less costs of disposal, an appropriate valuation model 
is used. The Corporation has cash- generating units which impairment could be tested against. The 
Corporation had no goodwill or indefinite life intangible assets for the years ending December 31, 
2022 and December 31, 2021.  

Impairment losses of continuing operations are recognized in the statement of profit and loss  and 
comprehensive income in those expense categories consistent with the function and nature of the 
impaired asset. 

For non-financial assets, an assessment is made at each reporting date as to whether there is any 
indication that previously recognized impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. 
If such indication exists, the Corporation estimates the non-financial asset’s or cash- generating unit’s 
recoverable amount.  

A  previously  recognized  impairment  loss  is  reversed  only  if  there  has  been  a  change  in  the 
assumptions  used  to  determine  the  non-financial  asset’s  recoverable  amount  since  the  last 
impairment loss was recognized. 

The reversal is limited so that the carrying amount of the non-financial asset does not exceed its 
recoverable  amount,  nor  exceed  the  carrying  amount  that  would  have  been  determined,  net  of 
depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognized for  the non-financial asset in prior periods. 
Such reversal is recognized in the statement of profit and loss and comprehensive income.  

 (q) Cash and cash equivalents 

Cash and cash equivalents in the statement of financial position comprise cash at banks and on hand 
and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less. The Corporation uses the 
indirect method of reporting cash flow from operating activities. 

 (r)  Provisions 

Provisions are recognized when the Corporation has a present obligation, legal or constructive, as a 
result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will 
be  required  to  settle  the  obligation,  and  a  reliable  estimate  can  be  made  of  the  amount  of  the 
obligation. Where the Corporation expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example 
under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognized as a separate asset but  only when the 
reimbursement is virtually certain.

4.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d) 

(r)  Provisions (cont’d) 

The  expense  relating  to  any  provision  is  presented  in  the  statement  of  profit  and  loss  and 
comprehensive income net of any reimbursement. If the effect of the time value of money is material, 
provisions  are  discounted  using  a  current  pre-tax  rate  that  reflects,  where  appropriate,  the  risks 
specific to the liability. Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of 
time is recognized as a finance cost. 

A  provision  for  warranties  is  recognized  when  the  underlying  products  or  services  are  sold.  The 
provision is based on the expected warranty data and an expected weighting of all possible outcome 
against their associated probabilities.  

A provision for restructuring is recognized when the Corporation has approved a detailed and formal 
restructuring plan, and the restructuring either has commenced or has been announced publicly. No 
provision is made for future operating losses. 

A provision for  onerous contracts is recognized when the expected benefits  to  be derived by the 
Corporation from a contract are lower than the unavoidable cost of meeting its obligation under the 
contract.  The  provision  is  measured  at  the  present  value  of  the  lower  of  the  expected  cost  of 
terminating the contract and the expected cost net cost of continuing with the contract. 

Before  a  provision  is  established,  the  Corporation  recognizes  any  impairment  loss  on  the  asset 
associated with the contract. 

(s)  Basic and diluted earnings per share 

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the income for the year by the weighted average 
number  of  common  shares  outstanding  during  the year.  The Corporation  uses the  treasury  stock 
method  for  calculating  the  dilutive  effect  of  the  outstanding  stock  options  and  other  dilutive 
securities.  Under  the  treasury  stock  method,  the  weighted  average  number  of  common  shares 
outstanding used for the calculation of diluted income per share assumes that the proceeds to be 
received  on  the  exercise  of  dilutive  share  options  are  used  to  repurchase  common  shares at  the 
average market price during the year.  

 (t)  Share-based compensation 

The Corporation has a share-based compensation plan. The Corporation accounts for  share-based 
compensation options granted to employees and consultants using the fair value method. Under this 
method, compensation expense for share-based compensation granted is measured at the fair value 
at the grant date, using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. In accordance with the fair value 
method,  the  Corporation  recognizes  estimated  compensation  expense  related  to  share-  based 
compensation over the vesting period of the options granted, with the related credit being charged 
to capital reserves. Consideration paid by employees on the exercise of share-based compensation is 
recorded  as  capital  stock  and  the  related  share-based  compensation  is  transferred  from  capital 
reserves to capital stock.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS, ESTIMATES, AND ASSUMPTIONS 

The preparation of the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements requires management to make 
judgments,  estimates,  and  assumptions  that  affect  the  reported  amounts  of  revenues,  expenses, 
assets,  and  liabilities,  and  the  disclosure  of  contingent  liabilities, at  the  end  of  the  reporting  years. 
However, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a 
material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or liability affected in future years. 

In the process of applying the Corporation’s accounting policies, management has made the following 
judgments,  which  has  the  most  significant  effect  on  the  amounts  recognized  in  the  consolidated 
financial statements. 

Revenues 

The Corporation derives revenue from fees charged to customers for  licenses for  software products 
and for professional services (support, consulting, development, training, etc.). Some of the software 
arrangements  may  contain  multiple  elements  (product  sales  and  professional  services).  The 
Corporation  accounts  for  software,  consulting  and  other  service  deliverables  as  separate  units  of 
accounting and allocate revenue based on their individual fair values. The revenue amounts allocated 
to the individual elements are recognized when the revenue recognition criteria have been met for the 
respective element. When services are essential to the functionality of the software, the software does 
not have standalone value and is combined with the essential services as a single element. 

Unbilled revenues 

Unbilled revenue is revenue which had been earned and therefore recognized in compliance with IFRS, 
but which has not been billed to the client(s) due to contract terms and/or billing cycle. Revenue can 
be recognized for projects based on time and materials, for professional services or on a percentage of 
completion basis for product implementation and support. Both can result in unbilled revenue until the 
customer is invoiced.  

Impairment of non-financial assets 

Impairment exists when the carrying value of a non-financial asset or cash-generating unit exceeds its 
recoverable amount, which is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. The value 
in  use  calculation  is  based  on  a  discounted  cash  flow  model.  The  cash  flows  are  derived  from  the 
Corporation’s budget and do not include restructuring activities, if any, that the Corporation is not yet 
committed to or significant future investments that will enhance the non- financial asset’s performance 
of the cash-generating unit being tested. The recoverable amount is most sensitive to the discount rate 
used for the discounted cash flow model as well as the expected future cash-inflows and the growth 
rate used for extrapolation purposes. The key assumptions used to determine the recoverable amount 
for the different cash-generating units may include a sensitivity analysis.

5.   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS, ESTIMATES, AND ASSUMPTIONS (cont’d) 

Taxes 

Uncertainties exist with respect to the interpretation of complex tax regulations and the amount and 
timing of future taxable income. Given the range of business relationships and the long-term nature of 
existing contractual agreements, differences arising between the actual results and the assumptions 
made, or future changes to such assumptions, could necessitate future adjustments to tax income and 
expense already recorded. The Corporation may establish provisions, based on reasonable estimates, 
for possible consequences of audits by the tax authorities. The amount of such provisions is based on 
various factors, such as experience of previous tax audits and differing interpretations of tax regulations 
by the taxable entity and the responsible tax authority. Deferred tax assets, if any, are recognized for 
all unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which 
the losses can be utilized. Significant management judgment is required to determine the amount of 
deferred tax assets that can be recognized, based upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable 
profits together with future tax planning strategies.  

Share-based compensation 

The  Corporation  has  a  share-based  compensation  plan.  The  Corporation  accounts  for  share-based 
compensation options granted to employees and consultants using the fair value method determined 
using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. The estimated compensation expense related to share-
based  compensation  is  recognized  over  the  vesting  period  of  the  options granted,  with  the  related 
credit being charged to contributed surplus. Consideration paid by employees on the exercise of share-
based  compensation  is  recorded  as  capital  stock  and  the  related  share-based  compensation  is 
transferred from capital reserves to capital stock.  

Fair value of financial instruments 

Where the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the statement of financial 
position  cannot  be  derived  from  active  markets,  they  are  determined  using  valuation  techniques 
including  the  discounted  cash  flows  model.  The  inputs  to  these  models  are  taken  from  observable 
markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgment is required in establishing 
fair  values.  The  judgments  include  considerations  of  inputs  such  as  liquidity  risk,  credit  risk,  and 
volatility. Changes in assumptions about these factors could affect the reported fair value of financial 
instruments.  

Useful life of an intangible asset 

Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their expected useful life 
once the asset is available for  use. Many factors are considered in determining the useful life of an 
intangible  asset,  including  technical,  technological,  commercial  or  other  types  of  obsolescence  and 
typical product life cycles for the asset. Changes to the expected useful life of an asset is accounted for 
prospectively.

Treatment of development costs 

Costs  to  develop  products  are  capitalized  to  the  extent  that  the  criteria  are met  for  recognition  as 
intangible assets in accordance with IAS 38. Such criteria require that the product is technically and 
economically feasible, the Company has the intention and ability to use the asset, and that the asset 
will generate future benefits to the Company. Management assessed the capitalization of development 
costs based on the attributes of each development project, perceived user needs, industry trends and 
expected future economic conditions. Management considers these factors in aggregate and applies 
significant judgment to determine whether the product is technically and economically feasible.

STANDARDS ISSUED BUT NOT YET EFFECTIVE 

As at April 26, 2023,  the date of authorization of these financial statements, certain new standards, 
amendments,  and  interpretations  to  existing  IFRS  standards  have  been  published  but  are  not  yet 
effective and have not been adopted by the Corporation. All other standards were early adopted as 
explained in the prior year’s financial statements. 

7.  OPERATING SEGMENT INFORMATION 

For  management  purposes,  the  Corporation  is  organized  into  two  operating  segments.  The 
Corporation's chief decision makers; the Chief Executive Officer, the President and the Chief Financial 
Officer, tracks the Corporation's operations by country. 

These country segments represent the Corporation’s reportable operating segments, which are used 
to manage the business. The Corporation analyses the performance of its operating segments based on 
expenditures and revenue growth.

INCOME TAXES (cont’d) 

The corporation has available income tax losses in the amounts of $15,063,997 for the Canadian federal 
and provincial tax purposes which may be carried forward to reduce future years' taxable income which 
expire as follows:

6,606,612

15,063,997 

Basic earnings  per share amounts are calculated by dividing  net income for  the year  attributable to 
ordinary equity holders of the parent by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding 
during the year. 

Diluted earnings per share amounts are calculated by dividing the net income attributable to ordinary 
equity holders of the parent by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during 
the  year  plus  the  weighted  average  number  of  common  shares,  if  any,  that  would  be  issued  on 
conversion of all the dilutive potential effects.  

The outstanding number and type of securities that could potentially dilute basic net income per share 
in the future but that were not included in the computation of diluted net income per shares because 
to do so would have reduced the earnings per share (anti-dilutive) for the year presented are as noted 
below.  

The following outstanding instruments could have a dilutive effect in the future:

The fair value of the financial assets and financial liabilities are included at the amount at which the 
instrument could be exchanged in an orderly transaction between market participants in an arm's 
length transaction at the measurement date.  

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:  

• 

Trade  and  other  accounts  receivables, accounts  payable  and  accrued  liabilities,  other  current 
liabilities approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short-term maturities of these 
instruments.

18.   OTHER FINANCIAL ASSETS AND FINANCIAL LIABILITIES (cont’d) 

(b)  Fair values (cont’d) 

• 

Fair values of quoted instruments are based on price quotations at the reporting date. The fair 
value of unquoted  instruments and other  financial liabilities (loans payable) are estimated by 
discounting future cash flows using rates currently available for debt on similar terms, credit risk, 
and remaining maturities. 

Fair value hierarchy 

As at December 31, 2022, the Corporation held cash measured at fair value. 

The Corporation uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial 
instruments by valuation technique: 

• 

• 

• 

Level 1: quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. 

Level 2: other techniques for which all inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair 
value are observable, either directly or indirectly. 

Level 3: techniques which use inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value 
that are not based on observable market data.

During the reporting year ending December 31, 2022, there were no transfers between Level 1 and

19.  GOVERNMENT GRANT 

During the year 2020, the Corporation has received $60,000 for the Canadian Emergency Business 
Account (CEBA) loan. The loan amount is interest-free and $20,000 forgivable if the $40,000 amount 
is paid by December 31, 2023, after which the full amount is subject to a 5% annual interest rate and 
due on December 31, 2025.  

Initial recognition of the CAD$60,000 was at its fair value at a discount rate of 19.99%, representing 
the Corporation’s estimated unsecured credit risk. The Corporation had repaid $30,000 against the 
loan in 2022 and outstanding  amount of $10,000  (2021: $34,196) and $5,804  (2021:  $5,697) was 
recognized as an interest accrued for the year ended December 31, 2022.

27.  FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES 

The Corporation’s primary risk management objective is to protect the Corporation’s balance sheet and 
cash flow. 

The Corporation’s principal financial liabilities comprise of bank overdraft, long term debt and trade and 
other payables. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to raise finances for  the Corporation’s 
operations. 

The  Corporation  is  exposed  to  market  risk,  interest  rate  risk,  foreign  exchange risk,  credit  risk,  and 
liquidity risk. 

The  Corporation’s  senior  management  oversees  the  management  of  these  risks.  The  Corporation’s 
senior management is supported by a Committee that advises on financial risks  and the appropriate 
financial risk governance framework for the Corporation.  

The  Committee  provides  assurance  to  the Corporation’s  senior  management  that  the  Corporation’s 
financial risk-taking activities are governed by appropriate policies and procedures and that financial 
risks are identified, measured, and managed in accordance with the Corporation’s policies and group 
risk appetite. All derivative activities, if any, for risk management purposes are carried out by a team 
that has the appropriate skills, experience, and supervision. It is the Corporation’s policy that no trading 
in derivatives for speculative purposes shall be undertaken.  

The  Board  of  Directors  reviews  and  agrees  policies  for  managing  each  of  these  risks  which  are 
summarized below. 

Market risk 

Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate 
because of changes in market prices. Market prices comprise several  types of risk: interest rate risk, 
currency risk, commodity price risk, and other price risk, such as equity risk. 

Interest rate risk 

The  Corporation’s  exposure  to  interest  rate  fluctuations  is  primarily  interest  paid  on  its  bank 
indebtedness and long-term loans. The Corporation has performed sensitivity analysis on interest rates 
at December 31, 2022 to determine how a change in interest rates would impact equity and net loss. 
During the year the Corporation paid $315,656 (2021: $200,310) on its loans and liabilities. An increase 
or decrease of 100 basis points in the average interest rate paid during the period would have adjusted 
net earnings by approximately $31,566 (2021: $20,031). This analysis assumes that all other variables 
remain constant.  

Foreign currency risk 

Foreign  currency risk  is  the  risk  that  the  fair  value  or  future  cash  flows  of  a  financial  instrument  will 
fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Corporation’s exposure to the risk of changes 
in  foreign  exchange  rates relates  primarily  to  the Corporation’s  operating  activities,  when  revenue  or 
expense are denominated in a different currency from the Corporation’s functional currency. The parent 
entity’s functional currency is the Canadian dollar.

Foreign currency risk (cont’d) 

The Corporation does not hedge the risk related to fluctuations of the exchange rate between  USA and 
Canadian  dollars  from  the  date  of  the  sales  transactions  to  the collection  date due  to  the  short-term 
nature of this exposure.  

Foreign  currency risk  is  the  risk  that  the  fair  value  or  future  cash  flows  of  a  financial  instrument  will 
fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Corporation's exposure to the risk of changes 
in  foreign  exchange rates  relates  primarily  to  the  Corporation's  operating  activities,  when  revenue  or 
expenses are denominated in a different currency from the Corporation's functional currency. The parent 
entity's functional currency is the Canadian dollar.

Commodity price risk 

The Corporation is not subject to price risk from fluctuations in market prices of commodities.  

Equity price risk 

The Corporation has no exposure to equity price risk. 

Credit risk 

Credit risk is the risk of an unexpected loss if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to 
meet its contractual obligation. The Corporation’s financial instruments that are exposed to credit risk 
consist  primarily  of  trade  receivable.  The  Corporation’s  exposure  to  credit  risk  is  impacted  by  the 
economic conditions for the industry which could affect the customers' ability to satisfy their obligations. 

In order to reduce risks, the Corporation performs periodic credit evaluations of the financial conditions 
of its customers and typically does not require collateral from them. Management assesses the need for 
allowance for potential credit losses by considering the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends 
and other information.

The  credit  quality  of  all  the  accounts  receivable  of  the  Corporation  that  are  neither  past  due  nor 
impaired and the age of accounts receivable that are past due but not impaired have been assessed on 
an individual basis and determined to have a mitigated risk profile. 

Liquidity risk 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Corporation will not be able to meet its financial obligations as 

they fall due. The Corporation’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it 
will  always  have  sufficient  liquidity  to  meet  its  liabilities  when  due,  under  normal  and  stressed 
conditions.  

The Corporation manages liquidity risk by reviewing its capital requirements on an ongoing basis. The 
Corporation continuously reviews both actual and forecasted cash flows to ensure that the Corporation 
has appropriate capital capacity.  

The following table summarizes the amount of contractual undiscounted future cash flow requirements 
for financial instruments as at December 31, 2022:

The Corporation manages its capital, which consists of cash provided from operations and long-term 
debt,  with the primary objective being safeguarding  sufficient working  capital to sustain operations. 
The Board of Directors has not established capital benchmarks or other targets. As at December 31, 
2022, the Corporation was considering pursuing additional capital through the issuance of additional 
equity or debt financing. There can be no guarantee that they will be successful in raising additional 
capital. 

There have been no changes in the Corporation’s approach to capital management during the year 
ending December 31, 2022. Also, no changes were made in the objectives, policies, or processes during 
the year ending December 31, 2022. The Corporation will continually assess the adequacy of its capital 
structure  and  capacity  and will make adjustments  within  the  context  of  the Corporation’s  strategy, 
economic conditions, and the risk characteristics of the business. 

The Corporation's objectives when managing capital are to: 

(i) 

(ii) 

safeguard the Corporation's ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can provide adequate 
returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders; 
fund capital projects for facilitation of business expansion provided there is sufficient liquidly of 
capital to enable the internal financing; and 

(iii)  maintain a capital base to maintain investor, creditor, and market confidence. 

The  Corporation  considers  the  items  included  in  the  consolidated  statements  of  changes  in 
shareholders' equity as capital. The Corporation manages the capital structure and makes adjustments 
to it in the light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. 
In  order  to  maintain  or  adjust  the  capital  structure,  the  Corporation  may  issue  new  shares.  The 
Corporation is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements. 

28.  COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES, AND GUARANTEES 

Operating lease commitments – Corporation as lessee 

The Corporation is committed under agreements for the rental of office spaces in Egypt and Oman at a 
monthly rate ranging from $1,200 to $3000 for the periods from October 2021 to November 2025.

The Corporation is subject to a variety of claims and suits that arise from time to time in the ordinary 
course  of  business.  Although  management  currently  believes  that  resolving  claims  against  the 
Corporation, individually or in aggregate, will not have a material adverse impact on the Corporation’s 
financial  position,  results  of  operations,  and  cash  flows.  These  matters  are  subject  to  inherent 
uncertainties and management's view of these matters may change in the future. To date, there are no 
claims or suits outstanding.  

Guarantees 

The Corporation indemnifies its directors and officers against claims reasonably incurred and resulting 
from  the  performance  of  their  services  to  the  Corporation,  and  maintains  liability  insurance  for  its 
directors and officers. In March 2021, the Corporation was unable to renew its Directors and Officers 
insurance. 

29.  SALE OF ENTERPRISE LICENSES 

On May 1, 2020, NTG signed an Agreement for licensing a copy of Product IP Rights and Support with an 
Egyptian  company,  owned  by  a  former  Director  of  the  Corporation.  This  Board-  approved  agreement 
allows this Egyptian company to purchase NTG Egypt’s Enterprise business including a copy of the non-
exclusive  rights  for  the  IP  of  two  software  products  (Utility  Billing  and  HMIS)  for  1.2  million  Egyptian 
pounds (approximately $99,428). The Enterprise revenue is approximately 3-4 million Egyptian pounds 
per year. The divesting of these non-core older technology legacy products allows NTG management to 
focus on core products and services going forward.  

Upon  execution  of  the  agreement,  both  the  Corporation  and  the  company  would  own  a  copy  of  the 
software listed (NTS UBS and HMIS), and both Parties would own the Copyright and Intellectual Property 
of their software copy. Either Party is free without any limitations whatsoever, to license their source code 
and  the  right  to  reproduce  work,  create  derivative  works,  distribute  and  sell  copies  of  the  software 
worldwide without the consent of the other Party. Each Party could sell their interest, in whole or in part 
of their owned software to a 3rd Party without the consent of the other Party. The carrying value of these 
intangible assets was zero, thus, the full proceeds of EGP 1,200,000 (approximately $99,428) has been 
fully recognized as other  income in the consolidated statements of profit and loss and comprehensive 
income. 

Upon signing  of the Agreement, Zaha Tech will be the sole and exclusive provider of all support to all 
current customers for a period of 30 months. NTG invoices the customers and retains a 10% fee upon 
collection of the dues from these customers, and recognizes revenue on a Net basis. During the year, the 
corporation recognized net revenue of $Nil (2021: $52,135) under these contracts.
