Description of business
Pineapple
Financial Inc. (the” Company”) is a leader in the Canadian mortgage industry, breaking the mold by focusing on both the long-term
success of agents and brokerages, as well as the overall experience of homeowners. With over 600 brokers within the network, the Company
utilizes cutting-edge cloud-based tools and AI-driven systems to enable its brokers to help Canadians realize their ultimate dream, owning
a home.
The
Company was incorporated in 2006 under the Ontario Business Corporations Act. Its head office is located at 200-111 Gordon Baker Road,
Toronto, Ontario, M2H 3R1, Canada. The Company completed its Initial Public Offering on October 31, 2023, raising gross proceeds of $ 3,500,000 ,
and commenced trading on the NYSE American under the ticker symbol “PAPL” on November 1, 2023.
Subsequently,
the Company received a notice of delisting from the NYSE American due to non-compliance with certain continued listing standards. The
Company is currently in the appeal process regarding this delisting. In the interim, the Company’s common shares commenced trading on
the OTC Markets under the symbol “PAPLF” (OTCPK).
The
Company continues to actively pursue its appeal and is evaluating its options with respect to relisting on a national securities exchange.
Impact
from the global inflationary pressures leading to higher interest rates
During
the first quarter of 2025, inflationary pressures were eased to a greater extent, and central banks worldwide started decreasing their
interest rates. However, interest rates are still high compared to the year 2022. The real estate market has started showing some improvement,
but inflation is down from the year 2022 but still not as per target. This led to uncertainty around the business. The Company determined
that there were no material expectations of increased credit losses and no material indicators of impairment of long-term assets.
Economic
and Trade Policy Uncertainty
Company
continues to monitor the potential impact of evolving trade policies, including the threat of additional tariffs imposed by the United
States. While no specific tariffs have been implemented during the reporting period that materially affect the Company’s operations,
the potential for future changes in cross-border trade arrangements and import/export duties contributes to broader economic uncertainty.
Management has considered these risks in its forward-looking assessments and determined that, as of the reporting date, there are no
material adverse effects on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or estimates related to credit losses or asset
impairments.

Description of business (continued from previous page)
Going
Concern
The
Company continues to focus its efforts predominantly on research and development activities. During this process, it has incurred significant
operating losses, a trend expected to persist for the foreseeable future. As of May 31, 2025, the Company reported an accumulated deficit
of $ 11,572,086 compared to $ 9,757,974 as of August 31, 2024. Negative cash flows from operating activities amounted to $ 439,198 during
the nine months ended May 31, 2025, as compared to $ 1,443,610 in the prior corresponding period.
To
sustain its operations during the nine-month period end May 31, 2025, the Company raised grossly $ 2.497 million issuance of common shares,
warrants and pre-funded warrants. In addition, company also borrowed short term loan $ 633,259 from directors to meet the working capital
requirements. In addition, the Company maintains Equity Line of Credit of up to $ 15.00 million, which it intends to draw upon once its securities are registered with the Ontario Securities Commission. It is also exploring additional capital and financing sources such as director’s loan while managing existing working
capital resources. However, the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is subject to its capacity to achieve future profitability
and secure the necessary funding to meet obligations as they arise. The uncertainty surrounding its ability to raise financial capital
and generate profitable operations raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.
These
condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to
continue as a going concern.
The
consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on July 14, 2025

Significant accounting policies
Basis
of preparation, functional and presentation currency
The
condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP applicable to a going concern, which
contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business on the historical cost basis
except for certain financial instruments that are measured at fair value. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the
consideration given in exchange for assets.
All
financial information is presented in US Dollars (“USD”) as the Company’s presentation currency and functional currency
is in Canadian Dollars (“CAD”). The interim financial statements are condensed and should be read in conjunction with the
Company’s latest annual year-end consolidated financial statements for the year ended August 31, 2024. It is management’s
opinion that all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim period has been made, and all adjustments
are of a recurring nature or a description of the nature of and any amount of any adjustments other than normal recurring nature has
been stated. Sufficient disclosures have been so as to not make the interim financial information misleading. There are no prior-period
adjustments in these condensed interim consolidated financial statements.
Operating
segments
The
Company determines its reporting units in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards
Codification (“ASC”) 280, Segment Reporting. The Company evaluates a reporting unit by first identifying its operating segments
under ASC 280. The Company operates as one operating segment which is reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided
to the chief operating decision-makers. The chief operating decision-makers are responsible for the allocation of resources and assessing
the performance of the operating segment and have been identified as the CEO and CFO of the Company.

Significant accounting policies (continued from previous page)
Basis
of consolidation
The
condensed interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, and its wholly owned subsidiary, Pineapple Insurance
Inc and Pineapple National Inc. All transactions with the subsidiaries and any intercompany balances, gains or losses have been eliminated
upon consolidation. The subsidiaries have a USD presentation currency, and the functional currency is in CAD, and accounting policies
have been applied consistently to the subsidiaries.
Recently
issued and adopted accounting standards :
As
an “emerging growth company,” the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (“JOBS Act”) allows the Company to delay
adoption of new or revised accounting pronouncements applicable to public companies until such pronouncements are made applicable to
private companies. The Company has elected to use this extended transition period under the JOBS Act. The adoption dates discussed below
reflects this election.
Recently Adopted
In July 2023, the FASB

24, 2022, EITF Meeting, and Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 6.B, Accounting Series Release 280 — General Revision of Regulation
S-X: Income or Loss Applicable to Common Stock (SEC Update). The adoption of this standard on August 1, 2023, did not result in amended
disclosures in the Company’s consolidated financial statements, nor did this standard have a material impact the Company’s
results of operations.
In March 2024, the FASB
issued ASU 2023-07 — Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The update enhances disclosures
by requiring entities to provide more detailed information about significant segment expenses, other segment items, and measures
of segment profit or loss used by the chief operating decision maker (CODM). The guidance also requires qualitative descriptions
of the methods used to determine segment profit/loss and asset measurement. The adoption of this standard did not have a material
impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements but resulted in expanded disclosures within the segment reporting
footnotes.
Not Yet Adopted
In December 2023, the FASB
issued ASU 2023-09 - Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. This standard modifies the rules on income
tax disclosures to require entities to disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation, the income or loss from continuing
operations before income tax expense or benefit, and income tax expense or benefit from continuing operations. ASU 2023-09 also requires
entities to disclose their income tax payments to international, federal, state, and local jurisdictions. The ASU is effective for
years beginning after December 15, 2024, but early adoption is permitted. This ASU should be applied on a prospective basis, although
retrospective application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its financial statements
and disclosures.
In
March 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-01 - Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope Application of Profits Interest
and Similar Awards. This standard clarifies whether profits interest and similar awards fall within the scope of stock-based
compensation guidance as defined in ASC Topic 718, introducing examples to demonstrate this. The ASU includes scenarios where
profits interest awards are classified as equity instruments or liability awards and situations where they fall outside ASC Topic
718, being accounted for under ASC Topic 710. The ASU is effective for years beginning after December 15, 2024, but early adoption
is permitted. This ASU should be applied on a prospective basis, although retrospective application is permitted. The Company
is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its financial statements and disclosures.
In
November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03: Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosure
(Subtopic 220-40) – Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. The new guidance requires companies to disclose information
about specific expenses at each interim and annual reporting period. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December
15, 2026 and interim periods with fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company is in the process of evaluating the
requirements of the update, which may result in expanded disclosures upon adoption.

Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions
The
preparation of condensed interim consolidated financial statements requires the directors and management to make judgments, estimates
and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and revenue and expenses. Actual
results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting
estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of
the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
The
following are the critical estimates and judgments applied by management that most significantly affect the Company’s condensed
interim consolidated financial statements. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a
material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods.
Investments
(level 3)
Where
the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded on the condensed interim consolidated statements of financial
position, cannot be derived from active markets, they are determined using a variety of valuation techniques. The inputs to these models
are derived from observable market data where possible; where observable market data is not available, Management’s judgment is
required to establish fair values.
Share
based compensation
Management
is required to make certain estimates when determining the fair value of stock options awards, and the number of awards that are expected
to vest. These estimates affect the amount recognized as stock-based compensation in the statements of income and comprehensive income
based on estimates of volatility, forfeitures and expected lives of the underlying stock options which are at a maximum of 36 months
vesting period.
Warrant
Liability:
The
Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s
specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in ASC 480 and ASC 815. The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding
financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all
of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own ordinary
shares, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted
at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding.
For
issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component
of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification,
the warrants are required to be recorded as liabilities at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date
thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the consolidated statements
of operations and comprehensive loss.
The
warrants are not precluded from equity classification and are accounted for as such on the date of issuance and will be on each consolidated
balance sheet date thereafter. As the warrants are equity classified, they are initially measured at fair value (or allocated value).
Derivative
Financial Instrument:
The
Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded
derivatives in accordance with ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). For derivative financial instruments
that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value on the grant date and is then
re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive
loss. For derivative instruments that are classified as equity, the derivative instruments are initially measured at fair value (or allocated
value), and subsequent changes in fair value are not recognized as long as the contracts continue to be classified in equity.
Impairment
of long-lived assets
Property,
plant and equipment and intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying
amount of such assets may not recoverable. Judgement is involved in identifying events and changes in circumstances.
Going
Concern
Preparation
of the condensed interim consolidated financial statement on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and
payments of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. Should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern, it may be unable
to realize the carrying value of its assets, including its intangible assets and to meet its liabilities as they become due.

Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions (continued)
Useful
life of Assets
Significant
judgement is involved in determination of useful life for the property plant and equipment and intangible assets. Management assesses
the reasonability of the useful life on an annual basis to record the depreciation of the intangibles and property plant and equipment.
The
intangible assets were initially assigned a useful life of 5 years. However, in June 2024, based on a reassessment of the software’s
expected utility, the Company revised its estimate of the useful life to 7 years.
4.
Investment
During
the year ended August 31, 2021, the Company purchased an investment in a private company. The Company holds a 5 % interest with no significant
influence. The investment is recorded at FVTPL using level 3 inputs. As at May 31, 2025, the Company recognized a $ Nil change in fair
value (2024- $ Nil ). Change in fair value during the current period is due to foreign exchange translation.

Share-based benefits reserve
The
Company has a share option plan (the “Plan”) to attract, retain and motivate qualified directors, officers, employees and
consultants whose present and future contributions are important to the success of the Company by offering them an opportunity to participate
in the Company’s future performance through the award of share options.
Each
share option converts into one common share of the Company on exercise. No amounts are paid or payable by the recipient on receipt of
the option. The options carry neither rights to dividends nor voting rights. Options may be exercised at any time from the date of vesting
to the date of their expiry.
In
2017, the Plan was amended such that the total number of common shares reserved and available for grant and issuance pursuant to the
Plan is to equal 10 % of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company.
Options
granted on June 14, 2021, vest over a 2-year period whereby 25% of the options granted vested on the date of grant, and the remaining
unvested options vest in equal instalments every 6-months thereafter . The fair value of stock options granted was $ 1,317,155 . A total
stock-based compensation expense was recognized of $ Nil for the nine months period ended May 31, 2025 (August 31, 2024 - $ Nil ).

Right-of-use asset and lease liability
The
Company leases all its office premises in Ontario and British Columbia, Canada. The total lease area is 13,262 sq. ft. The Company acquired
a 1,454 square feet premise lease in British Columbia commencing August 1, 2023 and expiring on July 31, 2028. The Company recognized
a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability in respect of this lease. The lease liability was measured at the present value
of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the Company’s estimated incremental borrowing rate as at September 1, 2017 (date
of initial application), estimated to be 6%. The right-of-use asset was measured at an amount equal to the lease liability, adjusted
by the amount of any prepaid or accrued lease payments relating to that lease recognized in the balance sheet immediately before the
date of initial application.

Deferred government incentive
The
Company was eligible for the Government of Canada Scientific Research and Experimental Development (SRED) program up to November 3, 2023.
The Company has accrued $ 86,937 of SRED receivable as at May 31, 2025, which is recognized in trades and other receivables in the condensed
interim consolidated balance sheet. A portion of the funds received is related to costs that have been capitalized for the development
of internally generated software recognized as intangible asset in Note 6. As at May 31, 2025 $ 70,657 (May 31, 2024 $ 176,326 ) was recognized
as recovery of operating expenses in the condensed interim consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.

Risk management arising from financial instruments
a)
Credit risk
Credit
risk is the risk of loss associated with a counterparty’s inability to fulfill its payment obligations. The Company’s principal
financial assets that expose it to credit risk are cash and trade receivables. The Company mitigates this risk by monitoring the credit
worthiness of its customers and holding cash at financial institutions.
The
maximum credit exposure at May 31, 2025 is the carrying amount of cash and trade receivables. The Company’s exposure to credit
risk is considered to be low, given the size and nature of the various counterparties involved and their history of performance.
The
Company has not historically incurred any significant credit loss in respect of its trade receivables. Based on consideration of all
possible default events over the assets’ contractual lifetime, the expected credit loss in respect of the Company’s trade
receivables was minimal as at May 31, 2025 and August 31, 2024.
b)
Interest rate risk
Interest
rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest
rates. The Company does not have any variable interest-bearing debt.
c)
Liquidity risk
Liquidity
risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. The Company’s approach
in managing liquidity is to ensure, to the extent possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due,
by continuously monitoring actual and forecasted cash flows, refer to Going Concern in Note 1.
d)
Management of capital
The
Company’s objective of managing capital, comprising of shareholders’ equity, is to ensure its continued ability to operate
as a going concern. The Company manages its capital structure and makes changes to it based on economic conditions.
Management
and the Board of Directors review the Company’s capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believe this approach, given
the relative size of the Company, is reasonable. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements. The Company’s
capital management objectives, policies and processes have remained unchanged during the period ended May 31, 2025.

Commitments and contingencies
In
the ordinary course of operating, the Company may from time to time be subject to various claims or possible claims. Management believes
that there are no claims or possible claims that if resolved would either individually or collectively result in a material adverse impact
on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. These matters are inherently uncertain, and management’s

Subsequent events
The
Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date of filing this Form 10-Q and has identified the following events requiring disclosure:
1.
Reverse Stock Split —
On June 26, 2025, following approval at a special meeting of shareholders, the Board of Directors approved a reverse stock split of the
Company’s common shares at a ratio of 20-for-01 . The stock split was declared, but not yet effective as the date the financial statements are issued and therefore unaudited pro-forma
retrospective adjusted earnings per share information is disclosed on the Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss in addition
to the historical earnings per share disclosure.
2.
NYSE American Delisting Notice — The Company received
a notice of delisting from the NYSE American due to its shares trading below the minimum price requirement, resulting in classification
as penny stock. The Company has filed an appeal, and the hearing is scheduled for July 17, 2025. Management expects that the reverse
stock split will enable the Company’s securities to regain compliance and remain listed.

Executive
Summary
We
are a fintech company based in Ontario, Canada. Our tech-driven businesses focus on mortgages and insurance. Our goal is to provide clients
with an industry-leading experience through our trusted digital solutions, which are simple and fast.
Recent
Developments
Business
Trends
During
2022 and 2023, the Bank of Canada implemented multiple increases to the prime rate in response to heightened inflationary pressures,
resulting in a significant rise in mortgage interest rates. In mid-2024, the Bank of Canada began easing monetary policy, reducing the
policy rate by 1.75% in an effort to stabilize the economy and improve housing affordability. While this policy shift has helped improve
consumer sentiment, elevated interest rates, coupled with renewed economic uncertainty, including emerging U.S. tariff threats, continue
to weigh heavily on the Canadian economy.
These
external pressures have heightened market volatility, slowed cross-border investment activity, and increased caution among Canadian businesses
and consumers. As a result, Pineapple Financial Inc. has continued to experience suppressed mortgage origination volumes, with overall
real estate and lending activity remaining below pre-2022 levels. Although early signs of recovery are evident, future growth remains
dependent on macroeconomic stability, interest rate trends, and the resolution of international trade uncertainties.
Summary
of the Nine months Ended May 31, 2025
Financial
and Operational Highlights
During
the nine-month period ended May 31, 2025, we originated $1,183.62 million in residential mortgage loans, representing an increase of
$99.85 million or 9.21% compared to the $1,083.77 million originated during the same period in the prior year.
Our
net loss for the period was $1.814 million, reflecting an improvement of $0.0.565 million, or 23.76%, compared to a net loss of $2.379
million in the nine months ended May 31, 2024. The improvement in net results is primarily attributable to higher loan origination volumes
and ongoing cost management initiatives.
The
Company’s functional currency is the Canadian dollar (CAD), while its reporting currency is the U.S. dollar (USD). During the reporting
period, the CAD depreciated by an average of 2.64% compared to the average CAD/USD exchange rate during the same period in the prior
year, which had a modest impact on the translation of financial results.
21
Key
Performance Indicators
As
part of our business operations, we closely track several key performance indicators (KPIs) that help us measure our performance. For
example, we can evaluate our ability to generate revenue by monitoring our loan production KPIs and comparing our performance to that
of the mortgage origination market. Additionally, we use KPIs related to our technology setup and underwriting processes to assess our
performance further.

Gross
Billing Revenue:
Gross
billing revenue refers to commissions collected from financial institutions with which the Company has contracts. The Company’s
gross billing is based on a percentage of the mortgage amount funded between individuals referred by the Company and the financial institutions
providing the mortgage. We serve as an agent in these transactions by offering a platform for other parties to deliver services to the
end-user. For each contract with a customer, the Company identifies the contract, recognizes the performance obligations, determines
the transaction price for each distinct performance obligation based on the relative stand-alone selling price of the goods or services
to be delivered, and acknowledges revenue when each performance obligation is fulfilled in a manner that reflects the transfer of goods
or services promised to the customer. The Company recognizes revenue when: there is a contract with a lender party and agent broker,
the contract specifies the use of the platform service to finalize a mortgage deal, the mortgage deal is completed with the lending financial
institution, and commissions are paid by the lending institution based on various criteria of the mortgage deal, including but not limited
to interest rates available at that time, term, seasonality, collateral, income, purpose, and so forth. Revenue is measured at the fair
value of the consideration received or receivable, representing amounts due for services provided in the normal course of business. Revenue
is recognized at the end of the transaction upon the completion of all the actions listed above. A typical transaction incurs a commission
fee payable to Pineapple Financial Inc.
Subscription
Revenue:
Users
can access and use our technology platform, MyPineapple, for a flat monthly service fee of $107. In exchange for this fee, MyPineapple
users gain access to a network management system that enables them to perform back-office procedures more efficiently and effectively.
This platform allows them to process the previously mentioned deal, prepare it, and complete the package for submission to the financial
institution for funding. We have a robust user base that has experienced significant growth since our inception. Revenue is recognized
at the beginning of the month when users are invoiced and pay the fee.
Underwriting
Fee:
Users
can optionally use our expert risk pre-assessment service, which assists them in pre-underwriting their loans before submission to a
lender for approval and funding. This service significantly reduces the time for the lender partners’ assessment of the deal. For
mortgages of $395,450 and greater, we charge an underwriting fee of $356; for mortgages lesser than $395,450, the Company charges an
underwriting fee of $249. The Company has undertaken a special program to educate and inform users of this service in further detail.
Approximately 40% of the deals originated by users are using this service. This program is intended to further increase the number of
deals and improve the services offered.

Revenue
and Cost Analysis
For
the nine-month period ended May 31, 2025, gross billings increased to $14.23 million, compared to $13.42 million for the same period
last year, representing an increase of 15.23%. This reflects the Company’s continued resilience in its core mortgage and brokerage
operations despite macroeconomic headwinds. While interest rate adjustments by the Bank of Canada have supported early signs of housing
market recovery, transaction volumes remain below pre-pandemic levels.
Commission
expense, which primarily includes payments to mortgage agents, rose proportionately to $11.97 million, compared to $11.45 million in
the same period last year, an increase of 15.92%. This increase is aligned with higher gross billings and demonstrates the Company’s
strategy of leveraging experienced, high-volume agents to maintain transaction throughput.
Revenue
for the period increased to $2.26 million, up from $1.97 million for the prior-year period, reflecting an increase of 11.78%. This improvement
is attributable to a continued focus on optimizing profitability by carefully managing agent mix and strategically reallocating resources
toward more profitable channels.
Margin
Improvements and Operational Efficiency
Total
expenses for the nine months decreased by 3.48% year-over-year, driven primarily by a reduction in salaries, wages, and benefits, which
declined by 30.14% compared to the prior period. This reduction reflects ongoing cost containment initiatives and efficiency measures.
Increases in depreciation and interest expenses were partially offset by these savings.
Other
Items and Comprehensive Loss
The
Company recognized a gain of $341,765 related to the change in fair value of its warrant liability, up from $42,251 for the same
period last year, due to issuance of warrants on May 07, 2025 and adjustments tied to market conditions. Financing costs related to
warrant issuance totaled $164,280 for the period. As a result, the loss before income taxes improved to $(1.81) million, compared to
$(2.38) million for the same period last year, reflecting disciplined cost controls and improved non-cash valuation
items.
Quarterly
Performance
For
the three-month period ended May 31, 2025, gross billings increased to $4.91 million, compared to $4.45 million for the same quarter
in the prior year, an increase of 10.23%. This steady performance highlights the Company’s ongoing ability to maintain transaction
flow despite seasonal variations and a gradually stabilizing market.
Commission
expense rose by 11.98% to $4.16 million, in line with the increase in gross billings, as the Company continues to rely on high-volume
agents to drive top-line growth. Revenue for the quarter increased slightly to $746,903 from $736,448 in the prior-year quarter, an increase
of 1.42%.
Total
expenses for the quarter decreased by 11.59% to $1.44 million, primarily due to lower salary and benefit costs and continued operational
efficiencies. The Company also recognized a gain of $309,516 on the change in the fair value of its warrant liability, compared to $29,479
in the same quarter last year, further supporting an improvement in net loss before taxes to $(557,736) from $(848,605) for the prior-year
quarter, an improvement of 34.28%.
Outlook
Management
remains focused on balancing transaction volume growth with disciplined cost management to protect margins and shareholder value. The
Company will continue to monitor macroeconomic developments closely and is positioned to capture growth opportunities as the housing
and mortgage markets stabilize, while maintaining operational efficiencies and strengthening its financial position.

Selling,
General, and Administrative Expenses
For
the nine-month period ended May 31, 2025, selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) expenses totaled $1,522,778, representing a
slight decrease of 1.50% compared to $1,545,900 for the same period in the prior year. This reflects the Company’s continued commitment
to disciplined cost management while strategically reallocating spending to priority areas.
Software
Subscription
Software
subscription expenses decreased by $38,837 (5.85%), from $663,424 to $624,587. The reduction is primarily due to the discontinuation
of Salesforce subscriptions effective April 1, 2025, following the successful implementation of the Company’s internally developed
system, which is expected to improve cost efficiency and data control.
Office
and General
Office
and general expenses decreased modestly by $2,349 (2.00%) year-over-year, reflecting tight cost discipline across day-to-day administrative
expenditures.
Professional
Fees
Professional
fees decreased by $49,172 (31.21%), from $157,531 to $108,359. This reduction is due to decreased reliance on external legal and advisory
services after the Company streamlined its compliance and reporting workflows following its public listing.
Dues
and Subscriptions
Dues
and subscriptions increased significantly by $217,323 (147.87%) to $364,287 from $146,964 in the prior period. This increase is attributable
to the Company’s expanded engagement with industry groups, data services, and technology associations to strengthen market insights
and maintain competitive positioning in a dynamic regulatory environment.
Rent
Rent
expense decreased by $15,460 (9.93%) to $140,168 from $155,628, reflecting the renegotiation of lease terms and more efficient space
utilization aligned with hybrid work arrangements.
Consulting
Fees
Consulting
fees remained broadly flat at $45,483, compared to $45,167 in the same period last year, reflecting consistent use of specialized external
expertise for targeted strategic initiatives.
Travel
Travel
expenses decreased significantly by $112,473 (81.54%), from $137,940 to $25,467. The decrease reflects continued restrictions on discretionary
travel and the increased use of virtual collaboration tools across operations and stakeholder engagement.
Donations
Donations
decreased by $6,617 (89.35%), from $7,406 to $789, in line with management’s decision to prioritize cost containment and focus
resources on core business operations.
Lease
Expense
Lease
expense decreased materially by $54,439 (99.08%) to $507 from $54,946, primarily due to the termination of non-core leased assets and
a shift toward more cost-effective operating arrangements.
Insurance
Insurance
expenses increased by $38,586 (64.65%) to $98,267, compared to $59,681 in the prior year. The increase primarily reflects higher costs
for enhanced coverage under the Company’s director and officer (D&O) insurance program and expanded liability protection requirements
as a public company.

increase of 7.36% compared to $491,666 for the same period in the prior year. The increase reflects higher professional services and
subscription costs to support operational requirements during the quarter.
Software
Subscription
Software
subscription expenses decreased by $86,835 (33.28%) to $174,116, compared to $260,951 for the same quarter last year. This decrease is
primarily due to the Company’s decision to discontinue its Salesforce subscription effective April 1, 2025, following the launch
of its internally developed system.
Office

Office
and general expenses decreased by $28,446 (46.97%) to $32,112, reflecting tighter cost controls and reduced spending on day-to-day administrative
costs during the quarter.
Professional
Fees
Professional
fees increased significantly by $35,995 (303.21%) to $47,866, compared to $11,871 in the same quarter last year. The increase is due

transitioned to in-house teams.
Travel
Travel
expenses decreased by $49,759 (95.94%) to $2,108, compared to $51,867 in the prior-year quarter. The decrease is due to continued travel
restrictions and increased use of virtual meetings for internal and external engagement.
Donations
No
donations were made during the quarter, compared to $2,759 in the same period last year, consistent with the Company’s focus on
directing funds toward operational priorities.
Lease
Expense

Operating
Expenses and Other Income
For
the nine-month period ended May 31, 2025, the Company continued to focus on disciplined cost control while investing in areas that support
operational efficiency and regulatory compliance. Below is a breakdown of key expense line items:
Advertising
and Marketing
Advertising
and marketing expenses decreased by $30,210 (4.66%) to $617,987, compared to $648,197 in the same period last year. The decrease reflects
more targeted marketing campaigns and improved allocation of digital marketing spend to higher-conversion channels.
Salaries,
Wages and Benefits
Salaries,
wages and benefits decreased by $602,064 (32.98%) to $1,223,722, compared to $1,825,786 in the prior year. The decrease is primarily
due to workforce optimization initiatives, including streamlining certain non-core roles and aligning staffing levels with current transaction
volumes.
Interest
Expense and Bank Charges
Interest
expense and bank charges increased significantly by $263,442 (614.16%) to $306,267, compared to $42,825 for the same period last year.
The increase is primarily driven by higher interest costs related to new financing facilities secured to support working capital needs
and costs associated with the issuance of warrants during the period.
Depreciation
Depreciation
expense increased by $113,416 (21.18%) to $648,991, compared to $535,575 in the prior period. The increase reflects additional amortization
of new capitalized technology investments, including the internally developed platform that replaced the Salesforce system.
Government
Incentive
Government
incentives decreased by $105,669 (59.93%) to $(70,657), compared to $(176,326) in the prior year. The reduction reflects lower available
grant funding in the current fiscal period as prior-year government support programs concluded.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
Our
primary liquidity needs include working capital and capital expenditures, particularly those related to technological enhancements, investments
in skilled personnel, and marketing services. These three categories have represented a significant share of our liquidity and capital
resource demands throughout the year. We primarily rely on cash on hand and cash flows generated from our operations to satisfy these
needs.

For
the nine-month period ended May 31, 2025, net cash used in operating activities was $(439,198), a substantial improvement compared to
$(1,443,610) for the same period in the prior year. The reduction in operating cash outflows reflects improved operational efficiencies,
continued cost discipline, and a more effective approach to managing working capital.
The
net loss for the period was $(1,814,112), compared to $(2,379,444) for the same nine-month period last year. This improvement is primarily
due to more efficient operations, tighter expense management, and adjustments related to non-cash fair value changes.
Key
non-cash adjustments included:
●
Amortization of intangible assets totaling $430,391, up from
$369,993, reflecting continued investment in proprietary technology and systems.
●
Depreciation of property and equipment was $64,201, in line
with $65,300 last year, while depreciation on right-of-use assets increased to $154,399, compared to $100,282, due to new office and
equipment lease commitments.
●
Interest expense on lease liability totaled $39,601, slightly
lower than $47,482 in the prior period.
●
The Company recorded a gain on change in fair value of warrant
liability of $341,765, compared to a loss of $(42,251) last year, due to updated valuations reflecting prevailing capital market conditions.
●
A foreign exchange loss of $(1,905) was recorded, compared
to a gain of $10,751 in the prior-year period.
Net
changes in non-cash working capital provided further support for improved operating cash flow:
●
Trade and other receivables increased slightly by $(25,238),
reflecting timing differences on collections.
●
Prepaid expenses and deposits increased by $76,090, up from
$65,976, due to upfront payments for strategic services and subscriptions.
●
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities increased by $337,367,
compared to a reduction of $(74,756) last year, highlighting more effective management of vendor payments.
●
Deferred government incentives rose by $81,164, compared to
a decrease of $(175,032) in the prior year.
●
Deferred revenue of $39,407 reflects upfront billings for services
to be delivered in future periods.
Net
cash provided by financing activities for the nine-month period amounted to $1,836,327, compared to $2,480,806 in the same period last
year. The decrease of $644,479 is primarily attributable to lower net proceeds from financing transactions during the period, while the
Company continued to utilize equity and debt facilities to support operations and growth initiatives.
Net
cash used in investing activities was $(811,443), compared to $(901,185) in the prior period, a decrease of $89,742. This reflects disciplined
investment in intangible assets and capital expenditures as the Company focuses on enhancing its proprietary systems and technology infrastructure.
28
As
of May 31, 2025, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents stood at $1,134,583, an increase of $385,814 compared to $748,769 at the
end of the same period last year, demonstrating progress in strengthening liquidity despite ongoing investments in technology and working
capital.
Management
remains focused on maintaining a healthy cash position to meet near-term operating requirements while supporting strategic investments.
The Company continues to evaluate both non-dilutive and equity-based funding options to strengthen its balance sheet, expand its technology
roadmap, and drive long-term shareholder value.

and other receivables and $81,821 in prepaid expenses and deposits, bringing total current liquid assets to $1,396,866. This compares
favorably to $893,491 as at August 31, 2024, reflecting an increase of $503,375. The improvement is primarily attributable to new equity
injection, stronger revenue generation, continued expense discipline, and the Company’s successful execution of targeted financing
activities during the period.
Management
remains focused on preserving adequate liquidity to meet short-term obligations while supporting strategic investments to drive sustainable
growth. The Company continues to monitor its cash flows and working capital needs to ensure prudent resource allocation in line with
its operational and expansion objectives.
Critical
Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates
This
management’s discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements,
which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements, and the reported amounts of Revenue and expenses during the reported period. Per U.S. GAAP, we base our estimates
on historical experience and various other assumptions we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ
from these estimates if conditions differ from our assumptions. While our significant accounting policies are more fully described in
Note 2 in the “Notes to Financial Statements,” we believe the following accounting policies are critical to making effective
judgments and estimates in preparing our financial statements.
Revenue
Recognition
The
Company has adopted ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which provides a single comprehensive model for revenue recognition.
The core principle of the standard is that Revenue should be recognized when goods or services are transferred to customers at an amount
that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard introduced
a new contract- based revenue recognition model with a measurement approach that is based on an allocation of the transaction price.
It establishes a five-step model to account for Revenue arising from contracts with customers. Under this standard, Revenue is recognized
at an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services
to a customer. The standard requires entities to exercise judgement, taking into consideration all of the relevant facts and circumstances
when applying each step of the model to contracts with customers. Additionally, the standard specifies the accounting for incremental
costs of obtaining a contract and the costs directly related to fulfilling a contract.
29
When
the Company transfers goods or services to a customer, Revenue is recognized at an amount that reflects the consideration expected to
be received.
The
Company operates an online platform powered by Salesforce, that enables brokers and agents to efficiently close deals.
The
Company’s subsidiary, Pineapple Insurance Inc., generates Revenue by charging premiums for insurance policies and services. Pineapple
Insurance is affiliated with a major insurance company, from which it earns commissions for providing services, primarily mortgage insurance.
Mortgage insurance is a requirement for each mortgage. Pineapple Insurance acts as the agent that supplies insurance services to the
consumer and is paid a commission from the premiums collected by the insurance company whose products and services it provides to the
end consumer. Additionally, Pineapple Insurance has adopted ASC 606.
Basis
of presentation, functional and presentation currency
The
Company’s headquarters is in Ontario, Canada, and the functional currency is in Canadian Dollars (CAD) with the presentation currency
being US Dollars (USD). The Company’s subsidiaries have a functional currency of CAD and presentation currency of USD which have
been applied consistently.
There
will be a foreign currency translation undertaken to report under US GAAP which will be the basis of presentation.
Lease
Accounting
The
relevant criteria applicable is ASC 842. We assess at contract inception whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. That is, if the
contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. We apply a single
recognition and measurement approach for all leases, except for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets. We recognize lease
liabilities to make lease payments and right-of- use assets representing the right to use the underlying assets.
At
the commencement date of the lease, we recognize lease liabilities measured at the present value of lease payments to be made over the
lease term. Lease payments include fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments) less any lease incentives receivable, variable
lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, and amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees. Lease payments also
include the exercise price of a purchase option reasonably certain to be exercised by us and payments of penalties for terminating the
lease, if the lease term reflects us exercising the option to terminate. Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a
rate are recognized as expenses in the period in which the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs. In calculating the present
value of lease payments, we use our incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date because the interest rate implicit in the
lease is not readily determinable. After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion
of interest and reduced for the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is
a modification, a change in the lease term, a change in the lease payments (e.g., changes to future payments resulting from a change
in an index or rate used to determine such lease payments) or a change in the assessment of an option to purchase the underlying asset.
We
recognize right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease (i.e., the date the underlying asset is available for use). Right-of-use
assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities.
The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognized, initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments
made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received. Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis
over the shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful lives of the assets.
30
Investments
We
invested in MCommercial, a commercial mortgage firm based in Montreal and Toronto, Canada, representing 5% of the total issued and outstanding
shares. This strategic partnership allows Pineapple residential mortgage agents to access a leading commercial mortgage firm and experts,
which will expand their product offerings, service levels, and corporate Revenue through increased transactions.
The
Company entered into a share purchase agreement with 9142-2964 Quebec Inc., pursuant to which it acquired five Class A Shares of 7326904
Canada Inc. (doing business as Mortgage Alliance Corporation) (“Alliance”), representing 5% of the total issued and outstanding
shares of Alliance. Alliance is a mortgage brokerage firm based in Ontario, Canada, with locations in Calgary, Vancouver, and Halifax.
The
total value of both investments was recorded at fair value, and any impairment loss is recognized in the profit and loss account.
Share
Based Compensation
Stock-based
compensation is accounted for based on the requirements of the Share-Based Payment Topic of ASC 718, “Compensation — Stock
Compensation” (“ASC 718”), which requires recognition in the financial statements of the cost of employee, non-employee
and director services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments over the period the employee, non-employee or director
is required to perform the services in exchange for the award (presumptively, the vesting period). ASC 718 also requires measurement
of the cost of employee, non- employee, and director services received in exchange for an award based on the grant-date fair value of
the award.
The
Company has a share option plan (the “Plan”) to attract, retain and motivate qualified directors, officers, employees, and
consultants whose present and future contributions are important to the success of the Company by offering them an opportunity to participate
in the Company’s future performance through the award of share options.
Each
share option converts into one common share of Pineapple Financial Inc. on exercise. No amounts are paid or payable by the recipient
on receipt of the option. The options carry neither right to dividends nor voting rights. Options may be exercised at any time from the
date of vesting to the date of their expiry.
In
2017, the Plan was amended such that the total number of common shares reserved and available for grant and issuance pursuant to the
Plan is to equal 10% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company.
Options
granted on June 14, 2021, vest over a 2-year period whereby 25% of the options granted vested on the date of grant, and the remaining
unvested options vest in equal instalments every 6-months thereafter. The fair value of stock options granted was $1,317,155. These options
were fully vested in year ended August 31, 2023.
On
July 6, 2023, we completed a 1-for-3.9 reverse stock split, or the Reverse Split, effective immediately. Consequently, all the share
numbers, shares prices, and exercise prices have been retroactively adjusted in these condensed interim consolidated financial statements
for all periods presented.
Controls
and Procedures
While
the Company is not currently required to maintain an effective internal controls system, we recognize the importance of strong internal
controls and have proactively initiated steps to establish and enhance our control environment. These measures include:
●
Employing skilled staff
in financial, accounting, and external reporting roles, focusing on segregation of duties.
31
●
Conducting regular reconciliations
to ensure accurate recording, correct classification, and balanced books.
●
Ensuring timely and accurate
recording of expenses, liabilities, and other accounting entries in accordance with the matching principle.
●
Maintaining a detailed
fixed assets register to track users, departments, and assets.
●
Requiring internal review
and approval of accounting transactions by at least two independent personnel.
●
Documenting processes,
assumptions, and conclusions related to significant estimates.
●
Establishing comprehensive
documentation of accounting policies and procedures.
As
of May 31, 2025, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our principal executive officer and principal
financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Based on this assessment,
management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of May 31, 2025.
Improvements
made during the year include carrying out independent reviews, establishing approval processes for transactions and reconciliations,
and hiring additional personnel to enhance our control environment. Plans are in place to further improve controls by segregating duties
and refining processes, thus ensuring robust and effective internal controls that uphold the integrity of our financial reporting.
Financial
Instruments
As
of May 31, 2025, the Company’s financial instruments include cash, trade and other receivables, investments, accounts payable,
and accrued liabilities.
As
per ASC 820, Fair value measurement establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independence, objective evidence surrounding
the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorising within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the
lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
i)
Level 1 fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
ii)
Level 2 fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for
the asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices); and
iii)
Level 3 fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset or liability that are not
based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
The
following table provides the fair values of the financial assets in the Company’s consolidated statements of financial position,
categorized by hierarchical levels and their related classifications.

Risks
and Uncertainties
The
Company’s business is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including those described elsewhere in this MD&A, as well
as general economic and market risks. These risk factors could materially affect the Company’s future operating results and could
cause actual events to differ materially from those described in forward-looking information relating to the Company.
As
part of our regular business operations, we face various risks that can impact our profitability and operations. These risks can be broadly
categorized as interest rate risk, credit risk, counterparty risk, and risks associated with the pandemics like COVID-19.
Interest
rate risk
We
do not face interest rate risk as we do not have any variable-rate loans or borrowings.
Credit
risk
Credit
risk is the risk of financial loss to the Corporation if a counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations.
The Corporation’s credit risk is mainly attributable to its cash and trade and other receivables.
The
Corporation has determined that its exposure to credit risk on its cash is minimal as the Corporation’s cash are held with financial
institutions in Canada.
Our
primary source of credit risk relates to the possibility of Core Business Operation’s brokerages or other customers not paying
receivables. Core Business Operations manages its credit risk by performing credit risk evaluations on its brokerages and agents and
monitoring overdue trade and other receivables. As of May 31, 2025, $83,967 of our trade receivables are greater than 90 days outstanding,
as compared to $57,165 for May 31, 2024. A decline in economic conditions or other adverse conditions experienced by brokerage and agents
could impact the collectability of the Corporation’s accounts receivable.
Our
maximum exposure to credit risk approximates the carrying value of the assets on the Corporation’s consolidated statements of financial
position.

Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We
are transitioning to and will maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be
disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and timely reported as provided
in SEC rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, as appropriate, to allow for timely
decisions regarding required disclosure. We will periodically review the design and effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures,
including compliance with various laws and regulations that apply to our operations. We will make modifications to improve the design
and effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and may take other corrective action if our reviews identify a need for such
modifications or actions. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, we recognize that any controls and procedures,
no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and we will
apply judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. In addition, the design of any system
of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that
any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate
because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations
in a control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
Changes
in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There
have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that have materially
affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

1 Legal Proceedings.
To
our best knowledge, we are currently not a party to any legal proceedings that, individually or in the aggregate, are deemed to be material
to our financial condition or results of operations.
Item
1A Risk Factors.
Our
securities are currently quoted on the OTC Pink Open Market, which may adversely affect the liquidity and market price of our common
shares.
Following
a notice of delisting from the NYSE American due to non-compliance with certain continued listing standards, our common shares commenced
trading on the OTC Pink Open Market (OTCPK). While we have appealed the delisting decision and the process remains pending, there is
no assurance that the appeal will be successful or that we will be able to regain listing on a national securities exchange.
Trading
on the OTC Pink Open Market is generally less liquid and more volatile than trading on a national exchange. Investors may find it more
difficult to buy or sell our common shares, and the market price may be subject to greater fluctuations with limited trading volume.
Additionally, trading on the OTC Markets may limit our ability to access capital markets, attract institutional investors, or maintain
analyst coverage.
Should
we be unable to regain listing on a national exchange, our business, financial condition, and shareholder value could be materially adversely
affected.
The Reverse Stock Split may not achieve the intended
results and could adversely affect the liquidity of our common shares.
On June 26, 2025, the Company’s shareholders
approved, and the Board of Directors authorized, a reverse stock split of the Company’s common shares at a ratio of 1-for-20. While
the reverse stock split is intended to increase the trading price of our common shares and assist in regaining compliance with the continued
listing requirements of the NYSE American, there can be no assurance that the reverse stock split will have the desired effect. The trading
price of our common shares may decline below the required levels despite the reverse split, or the market may perceive the reverse split
negatively, resulting in reduced liquidity or increased volatility. In addition, the reverse split could adversely impact the perception
of our Company among investors, analysts, and other market participants

the Company’s common shares at a ratio of 1-for-20. The reverse stock split was implemented as part of the Company’s strategy
to regain compliance with the continued listing standards of the NYSE American, specifically relating to minimum share price requirements.
The Company is working with its transfer agent, regulatory authorities, and market participants to complete all necessary steps for the
effective execution of the reverse stock split, including notification filings with FINRA and applicable Canadian securities regulators.
The Company remains committed to maintaining its public listing and enhancing shareholder value.
