MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF DEVVSTREAM
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with DevvStream’s unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements and related
notes for the three and six months ended January 31, 2025 and 2024 (“interim financial statements”), which have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP and are included elsewhere in this report. This discussion contains forward-looking
statements reflecting our current expectations, estimates and assumptions concerning events and financial trends that may affect our future operating results or financial position. Actual results and the timing of events may differ materially
from those contained in these forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including those described in our other SEC filings, including those discussed in the sections titled “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding
Forward-Looking Statements” in our Current Report on Form 8-K/A filed with the SEC on March 7, 2025. All figures are in US dollars unless otherwise noted. Unless the context otherwise requires, for the purposes of this section, “DevvStream,”
“we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company” refer to DevvStream Corp., a company existing under the Laws of the Province of Alberta, Canada, and its subsidiaries.
Company Overview
DevvStream is a technology-based sustainability company that advances the development and monetization of environmental assets, with an initial focus on carbon markets. The
Company’s mission is to create alignment between sustainability and profitability, helping organizations achieve their climate initiatives while directly improving their financial health.
With a diverse approach to the International Renewable Energy Certificate (“I-REC”) and carbon market, DevvStream operates across three strategic domains: (1) an offset portfolio
consisting of I-REC’s, nature-based, tech-based, and carbon sequestration credits for immediate sale to corporations and governments seeking to offset their most difficult-to-reduce emissions; (2) project investment, acquisitions, and industry
consolidation to extend the Company’s reach, allowing it to become a full end-to-end solutions provider; and (3) project development, where the Company serves as project manager for eligible activities such as EV charging in exchange for a
percentage of generated credits.
Company Formation and Reverse Takeover Transaction
We are a company existing under the Business Corporations Act of Alberta, Canada. We were a special purpose acquisition corporation (“SPAC”) incorporated in Delaware, the United
States on February 23, 2021 .
On September 12, 2023 (and as amended May 1, 2024, August 10, 2024, and October 29, 2024, the “Business Combination Agreement”, or “BCA”), we entered into a Business
Combination Agreement with DevvStream Holdings Inc. (the ‘‘Business Combination’’ or the ‘‘De-SPAC Transaction’’) . The Business Combination was structured as an amalgamation of DevvStream Holdings Inc.
(“Devv Holdings”) into a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, following our redomiciling as an Alberta company. We were then renamed from Focus Impact Acquisition Corp. to DevvStream Corp. and continue the business of Devv Holdings following
the amalgamation. It was a condition of the transaction that the securities of the Combined Company will be listed on NASDAQ.
On November 6, 2024, we completed the business combination with Devv Holdings, pursuant to the BCA. In connection with the completion of the business combination, we consolidated
all of our issued and outstanding common stock on a 1:0.9692 basis. All the outstanding Devv Holdings subordinate voting shares (“SVS”) were exchanged for common stock of the Company on a common conversion ratio of 0.152934 (the “Common
Conversion Ratio”). All the outstanding Devv Holdings multiple voting shares (“MVS”), being the equivalent of 10 SVS, were exchanged for common stock of the Company on the basis of the Common Conversion Ratio. In addition, all of the outstanding
convertible securities of Devv Holdings were exchanged for securities of the Company on the basis of the Common Conversion Ratio, with corresponding adjustments to exercise prices, and otherwise on substantially the same economic terms and
conditions. Our common shares commenced trading on the NASDAQ under the new ticker symbol “DEVS” on November 7, 2024.

Table of Contents
Devv Holdings is deemed as the acquirer for accounting purposes, and therefore its assets, liabilities and operations are included in the consolidated financial statements at
their historical carrying value. Our operations are considered to be a continuance of the business and operations of Devv Holdings. Our results of operations are those of Devv Holdings, with our operations being included from November 6, 2024,
the closing date of the De-SPAC Transaction, onwards.
Recent Developments
Change in Functional Currency
Effective August 1, 2024, the Company reassessed its functional currency and the functional currency of its subsidiaries due to changes in underlying transactions, events, and conditions. As a
result of this reassessment, the Company determined that its functional currency changed from the Canadian dollar (“CAD$”) to the United States dollar (“US$”) for DevvStream Holdings Inc. and its subsidiary, Devv Stream Inc. (“DESG”). The
functional currency for DevvESG Streaming Finco Ltd. (“Finco”), another subsidiary of ours, remained CAD$. This change aligns with the business’s future focus and the effective date of the Focus Impact Acquisition Corp.’s Form S-4 Registration
Statement with the SEC, a crucial part of the De-SPAC transaction closing. The change in functional currency was accounted for prospectively from August 1, 2024, with no impact on prior year comparative information. Upon the change in functional
currency on August 1, 2024, 1,220,668 of the Company’s warrants which had strike prices denominated in CAD$ were reclassified as warrant liabilities. Determining the functional currency involved significant judgments to assess the primary
economic environment in which the Company operates, including factors such as the currency of underlying transactions, the location of key operations, and the currency of expected cash flows. Upon the completion of the De-SPAC Transaction on
November 6, 2024, 627,786 of the Company’s stock options which had strike prices denominated in CAD$ were reclassified as stock option liabilities, as exemptions from classification from derivative liability classification under ASC 718-10-25-14
that were previously applicable upon change in functional currency no longer apply upon the commencement of trading of the Company’s common shares on the NASDAQ.

the increase in net loss of $2,819,126, including the major components thereof, is set forth below.
Share-based compensation
During the three months ended January 31, 2025, we incurred share-based compensation of $(91,779) compared to share-based compensation of $373,125 for the three months ended January 31, 2024.
Share-based payments relating to the vesting of RSUs decreased by $52,806. Share-based payments relating to the vesting of Options decreased by $412,118.
Due to the listing of the Company on the NASDAQ on November 7, 2024 and commencement of trading of shares in the United States dollars, exemptions available under ASC 718-10-25-14 to classify stock
options with strike prices in foreign currencies as equity were no longer met and all stock options outstanding were reassessed to be derivative liabilities. The fair value of the stock options upon the change in classification on November 6,
2024 was $330,090. Changes in fair value due to period end fair value remeasurements are reflected in compensation expense. Please refer to Note 12 of the interim financial statements.
Professional fees
During the three months ended January 31, 2025, we incurred $4,596,025 in professional fees, as compared to $1,024,030 during the three months ended January 31, 2024. The legal
fees for both periods mainly related to the Business Combination.
Salaries and wages
During the three months ended January 31, 2025 and 2024, we incurred salaries and wages of $262,885 and $207,476, respectively, the majority of which were to officers of the
Company.
Sales and marketing
Sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended January 31, 2025 and 2024 amounted to $404,797 and $129,729, respectively. These costs primarily related to publications,
industry events and investor relations subsequent to our successful closing of the Business Combination.
General and administrative
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended January 31, 2025 and 2024 amounted to $334,070 and $77,672, respectively, and primarily comprised of insurance
costs, filing fees and rent. The increase is primarily due to an increase in filing fees as a result of listing on the NASDAQ.

Loss on investment in associate
On November 6, 2024, the Company received 2,000,000 shares in Monroe Sequestration Partners, LLC (“MSP”), in connection with an agreement to acquire a stake in MSP in exchange
for 2,000,000 shares of the Company that was entered into on October 28, 2024. At the time of acquisition, the 2,000,000 shares of MSP received by the Company represented 50% of MSP’s shares outstanding. During the 3 months ended January 31,
2025, the Company’s share of MSP’s loss was $106,850.
Change in fair value of derivative liabilities
During the three months ended January 31, 2025, we recognized a loss on derivative liabilities of $2,067,350 related to the convertible debt financings completed in January 2024
and April 2024. Please refer to Note 9 of the interim financial statements.
Change in fair value of warrant liabilities
Effective August 1, 2024, the Company reassessed its functional currency and the functional currency of its subsidiaries due to changes in underlying transactions, events, and conditions. As a
result of this reassessment, the Company determined that its functional currency changed from the Canadian dollar (“CAD$”) to the United States dollar (“US$”) for DevvStream Holdings Inc. and DESG. Finco’s functional currency remained CAD$. This
change aligns with the business’s future focus and the effective date of the Focus Impact Acquisition Corp.’s Form S-4 Registration Statement with the SEC, a crucial part of the De-SPAC transaction closing. The change in functional currency was
accounted for prospectively from August 1, 2024, with no impact on prior year comparative information. The Company’s presentation currency is and continues to be the United States dollar.
Upon the change in functional currency on August 1, 2024, 1,220,668 of the Company’s warrants which had strike prices denominated in CAD$ were reclassified as warrant liabilities with an initial
value of $454,571.
On November 6, 2024, 22,699,987 warrants were issued by the Company in connection with the De-SPAC transaction. The warrants were assessed to be derivative liabilities of the Company due to certain
settlement provisions of the warrants that do not meet the criteria for equity classification under Topic 815. The warrants are each exercisable at $1.52 for 0.9692 common stock, expiring on November 6, 2029. The fair value of the warrants was
$7,196,286 upon issuance.
As a result of above, during the three months ended January 31, 2025, we recognized a gain of $497,355 due to period end fair value remeasurement. Please refer to Note 11 of the interim financial
statements.
Foreign exchange loss
During the three months ended January 31, 2025, we recognized a foreign exchange gain of $4,220. During the three months ended January 31, 2024, we recognized a foreign exchange
gain of $77,740. The foreign exchange gains result from fluctuations in the Canadian dollar against the US dollar, as we hold cash balances and have accounts payable denominated in both Canadian and US dollars.
Gain on settlement of debt
In December 2024, the Company issued 412,478 shares with a fair value of $317,608 for the settlement of accounts payable in the amount of $1,225,000 and recognized a gain on the
settlement of $907,392.
Impairment of carbon credits and stop-loss provision
On November 6, 2024, concurrent with the completion of the business combination, the Company issued 3,249,876 common shares in consideration for carbon credit purchase agreements.
All of the agreements contain adjustment clauses whereby if the Company’s share price falls below the respective purchase prices outlined in the agreements, in the 12 to 18 months
following November 6, 2024, the Company is obligated to issue additional shares to cover the shortfall. The Company has assessed that the potential liability associated with the stop-loss provision for carbon credits received as of January 31,
2025 is $1,024,713.
33
Table of Contents
The Company is currently in dispute with one of the vendors for which 1,200,000 shares with a fair value of $658,800 was issued. At the date of these financial statements, the
vendor has not delivered the carbon credits which are due under the contract and the Company has issued a demand letter to the vendor. Management has assessed that it is improbable that these carbon credits will be received and has recorded an
impairment charge of $658,800 during the three months ended January 31, 2025.
One of the carbon credit purchase agreements provides for the vendor to return the consideration shares received for cancellation in return for the carbon credits if a
registration statement does not become effective within 45 days of the closing of the purchase agreement. As this deadline was not met, the vendor has triggered this clause under the agreement and is currently in negotiations with the Company to
return 1,500,000 shares with a fair value of $549,000 issued under the contract in exchange for the carbon credits that were transferred to the Company. Management has assessed that it is probable that the carbon credits will be returned to the
vendor and has recorded an impairment charge of $549,900 during the three months ended January 31, 2025.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We continually monitor and manage cash flow to assess the liquidity necessary to fund operations and capital projects. We manage our capital resources and adjust them to take into
account changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. To maintain or adjust our capital resources, we may, where necessary, control the amount of working capital, pursue financing or manage the timing of
our capital expenditures. As of January 31, 2025, we had a working capital deficit of $20,936,427 (current assets of $1,068,622, less current liabilities of $22,005,049) and as of July 31, 2024, we had a working capital deficit of $8,362,363
(current assets of $141,905, less current liabilities of $8,504,268).
Our continuing operations are dependent upon our ability to obtain debt or equity financing, of which there are no assurances, until such time that we achieve profitable
operations. There can be no assurance that we will gain adequate market acceptance for our products or be able to generate sufficient gross margins to reach profitability.
On October 29, 2024, we entered into a equity line of credit purchase agreement (the “ELOC Agreement”) with Helena Global Investment Opportunities I Ltd. (“Helena”). Pursuant to
the ELOC Agreement, the Company has the right to issue and to sell to Helena from time to time, as provided in the ELOC Agreement, up to $40,000,000 of Company’s Common Shares, subject to the conditions set forth therein. Specifically, pursuant
to the ELOC Agreement, the Company may require that Helena purchase Common Shares from the Company by delivering one or more advance notices to Helena setting forth, in each advance notice, the amount of the advance it is requesting, which amount
many not exceed an amount equal to lesser of (i) one hundred percent (100%) of the average of the daily value traded of the Common Shares over the ten (10) trading days immediately preceding such advance notice, and (ii) eight million United
States Dollars ($8,000,000). On March 18, 2025, the Company and Helena entered into a first amendment to ELOC Agreement, which provides the Company with greater flexibility by allowing Helena to permit Secondary Advances, as defined in the
amendment, as well as to update references to “Common Stock” in the ELOC Agreement to “Common Shares”. However, in no event may the number of Common Shares issuable to Helena pursuant to an advance cause the aggregate number of shares
beneficially owned (as calculated pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) by Helena and its affiliates as a result of previous issuances and sales of Common Shares to Helena under the ELOC Agreement to exceed 9.99% of the then outstanding
Common Shares. Additionally, the Company may not affect any sales under the ELOC Agreement and Helena will have no obligation to purchase Common Shares under the ELOC Agreement to the extent (but only to the extent) that after giving effect to
such purchase and sale the aggregate number of Common Shares issued under the ELOC Agreement would exceed 19.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Shares following the closing of the Business Combination Agreement (the “Exchange Cap”), provided
that, the Exchange Cap will not apply if the Company’s stockholders have approved issuances in excess of the Exchange Cap in accordance with the rules of the Nasdaq. The purchase price for the Common Shares so purchased by Helena pursuant to an
advance notice is the lowest intraday sale price for the Common Shares during the three (3) trading days commencing on the date of Helena’s receipt of the Common Shares relating to such advance. Because the per share purchase price that Helena
will pay for Common Shares in connection with any advance notice we have elected to deliver to Helena pursuant to the ELOC Agreement will be determined by reference to the lowest intraday sale price for the Common Shares during the three (3)
trading days commencing on the date of Helena’s receipt of the Common Shares relating to such advance, we cannot determine the actual purchase price per share that Helena will be required to pay for any Common Shares that we may elect to sell to
Helena under the ELOC Agreement until after we deliver an advance notice and, therefore, we cannot be certain how many Common Shares, in the aggregate, we may issue and sell to Helena under the ELOC Agreement. Sales of Common Shares to Helena
under the ELOC Agreement will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by us from time to time, including, among other things, market conditions, the trading price of the Common Share and determinations by us as to the appropriate sources
of funding for our business and operations. We may not be able to raise sufficient funds under the ELOC Agreement to satisfy our obligations.

Table of Contents
Since our inception, we have incurred operating losses and have experienced negative cash flows from operations. We do not anticipate that cash on hand will be adequate to satisfy
our obligations in the ordinary course of business over the next 12 months. Based on this assessment, we have material uncertainties about our business that may cast substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Accordingly,
our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to raise sufficient funds to pay ongoing operating expenditures and to meet our obligations. See further discussion related to our ability to continue as a going concern
within “ — Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates. ”
As of January 31, 2025 and July 31, 2024, we had $16,665 and $21,106 in cash, respectively. We are actively managing current cash flows until such time that we are profitable.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Our board of directors have overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of our risk management policies on an annual basis. Management identifies and evaluates our
financial risks and is charged with the responsibility of establishing controls and procedures to ensure financial risks are mitigated in accordance with the approved policies.
Our financial instruments consist of cash, GST receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, convertible debt. mandatory convertible debentures, warrant
liabilities and derivative liabilities. The carrying value of the Company’s cash, GST receivable and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value due to their short terms to
maturity.
Our risk exposures and the impact on our financial instruments are summarized below:
Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk of an unexpected loss if a customer or third party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. Our credit risk is primarily
attributable to our liquid financial assets including cash. Our financial assets are cash, GST receivable, corporate taxes receivable, subscription receivable, and deposit on carbon credits purchase. Our maximum exposure to credit risk, as at
period end, is the carrying value of our financial assets, being $992,488 and $106,764 as of January 31, 2025 and July 31, 2024, respectively. We hold cash with major financial institutions and with a publicly traded payment processing company
therefore minimizing our credit risk.

Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that we will not be able to meet financial obligations as they fall due. We manage liquidity by maintaining adequate cash balances and by raising equity
and debt financings. We have no assurance that such financings will be available on favorable terms in the future. In general, we attempt to avoid exposure to liquidity risk by obtaining corporate financing through the issuance of shares.
As of January 31, 2025, we had cash of $16,665 to settle current liabilities of $9,975,493 which fall due for payment within twelve months of the statement of financial position.
As of July 31, 2024, we had cash of $21,106 to settle current liabilities of $7,595,974 which fall due for payment within twelve months of the statement of financial position. All of our contractual obligations are current and due within one
year.
Market Risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices will affect the Company’s income or value of its holdings
or financial instruments. At January 31, 2025, the Company has minimal exposure to these risks.
Inflation Risk
We do not believe that inflation had a significant impact on our results of operations for any periods presented in our interim financial statements. Nonetheless, if our costs
were to become subject to significant inflationary pressures, we may not be able to fully offset such higher costs, and our inability or failure to do so could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Capital Management
Capital is comprised of our shareholders’ (deficiency) and any debt that we may issue. Our objectives when managing capital are to maintain financial strength and to protect our
ability to meet ongoing liabilities, to continue as a going concern, to maintain creditworthiness and to maximize returns for our shareholders over the long term, of which there can be no assurances. Protecting the ability to pay current and
future liabilities includes maintaining capital above minimum regulatory levels, current financial strength rating requirements and internally determined capital guidelines and calculated risk management levels. We manage capital structure to
maximize financial flexibility by making adjustments in response to changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets and business opportunities. We do not presently utilize any quantitative measures to monitor
our capital, but rather we rely on our management’s expertise to sustain the future development of the business. Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given our size, is
reasonable.
There were no changes to our approach to capital management during the period. We are not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.
Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IR Act”)
On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IR Act”) was signed into federal law. The IR Act provides for, among other measures, a new U.S. federal 1%
excise tax on certain repurchases (including redemptions) of stock by publicly traded domestic (i.e., U.S.) corporations. The excise tax is imposed on the repurchasing corporation and the amount of the excise tax is generally 1% of the fair
market value of the stock repurchased. However, for purposes of calculating the excise tax, repurchasing corporations are permitted to net the fair market value of certain new stock issuances against the fair market value of stock repurchases
during the same taxable year. In addition, certain exceptions apply to the excise tax. The Treasury has been given authority to provide regulations and other guidance to carry out, and prevent the abuse or avoidance of the excise tax. The IR Act
applies only to repurchases that occur after December 31, 2022.

Table of Contents
During the second quarter of 2024, the IRS issued final regulations with respect to the timing and payment of the excise tax. Pursuant to those regulations, the Company would
need to file a return and remit payment for any liability incurred during the period from January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023 on or before October 31, 2024. For certain taxpayers affected by Hurricane Beryl, the deadline to file such returns and
remit such payment has been extended to February 2025.
The Company is currently evaluating its options with respect to payment of this obligation. If the Company is unable to pay its obligation in full, it will be subject to
additional interest and penalties which are currently estimated at 10% interest per annum and a 5% underpayment penalty per month or portion of a month up to 25% of the total liability for any amount that is unpaid from November 1, 2024 until
paid in full.
Emerging Growth Company Status
We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the JOBS Act, and we will take advantage of certain exemptions from various
reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley
Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of
any golden parachute payments not previously approved.
Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private
companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting
standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. We have elected
not to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, we, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised
standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard.
Smaller Reporting Company
Additionally, we are a “smaller reporting company,” as defined in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K. Smaller reporting companies may take advantage of certain reduced disclosure
obligations, including, among other things, providing only two years of audited financial statements. We will remain a smaller reporting company until the last day of the fiscal year in which (i) the market value of our common stock held by
non-affiliates exceeds $250 million as of the last business day of our second fiscal quarter, or (ii) our annual revenue exceeded $100 million during such completed fiscal year and the market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates
exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our second fiscal quarter. If we continue to be a smaller reporting company at the time we cease to be an emerging growth company, we may continue to rely on exemptions from these certain
reduced disclosure requirements that are available to smaller reporting companies.

NASDAQ Listing
On February 12, 2025, DevvStream Corp. received a notice from the Listing Qualifications staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) that, because the closing bid price for the Company’s common stock had fallen
