MANAGEMENT PROXY CIRCULAR

GENERAL INFORMATION

INFORMATION ABOUT PROXY SOLICITATION

This Management Proxy Circular is furnished to the holders of the Common shares (“Common Shares”), of ZIM Corporation, a Canadian corporation (“ZIM” or the “Company”), in connection with the solicitation of proxies on behalf of the Board of Directors and the Management of the Company for use at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held on September 27, 2018 at 1:30 p.m. (local Ottawa time), at ZIM’s Headquarters at 150 Isabella Street, Suite 150, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, K1S 1V7, and at any adjournment thereof. The Board of Directors is soliciting votes FOR ratification of the appointment of the firm of MNP LLP as the Company’s independent auditors. At present, the Board of Directors knows of no other business that will come before the meeting.

The Notice of Annual Meeting, this Management Proxy Circular and the accompanying Form of Proxy will be mailed to shareholders on or about September 5, 2018. The Board of Directors is making this solicitation of proxies, and the Company will bear the cost of the solicitation. The original solicitation of proxies by mail may be supplemented by solicitations in person, by telephone or by electronic communication by the directors, officers and employees of the Company. Arrangements will also be made with brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for the forwarding of solicitation material to the beneficial owners of shares held by such persons, and upon request the Company will reimburse such custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection therewith.

INFORMATION ABOUT VOTING

Q: WHY AM I RECEIVING THESE MATERIALS?

A: The Board of Directors is providing these proxy materials for you in connection with the Company’s Annual Meeting of Shareholders, which will take place on September 27, 2018. As a shareholder, you are invited to attend the Annual Meeting and are entitled to and requested to vote on the items of business described in this management proxy circular.

Q: WHAT ITEMS OF BUSINESS WILL BE VOTED ON AT THE ANNUAL MEETING?

A: There is one item of business scheduled to be voted on at the Annual Meeting: the ratification of the appointment of the Company’s independent auditors. We will also consider other business that properly comes before the Annual Meeting.

Q: HOW DOES THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMEND THAT I VOTE?

A: The Board of Directors recommends that you vote your shares “FOR” the ratification of the appointment of the independent auditors.

Q: WHAT SHARES CAN I VOTE?

A: You may vote all shares owned by you as of the close of business on August 22, 2018, the Record Date. These shares include: (i) shares held directly in your name as the shareholder of record, and (ii) shares held for you as the beneficial owner through a broker or other nominee such as a bank.

Q: WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HOLDING SHARES AS A SHAREHOLDER OF RECORD AND AS A BENEFICIAL OWNER?

A: Most shareholders of the Company hold their shares through a broker or other nominee rather than directly in their own name. However, there are some distinctions between shares held of record and those owned beneficially.

If your shares are registered directly in your name with the Company’s transfer agent, Corporate Stock Transfer, Inc., you are considered, with respect to those shares, the shareholder of record and these proxy materials are being sent directly to you by the Company. As the shareholder of record, you have the right to grant your voting proxy directly to the Chairman of the Board of Directors or to vote in person at the meeting. The Board of Directors has enclosed a proxy card for you to use.

If your shares are held in a brokerage account or by another nominee, you are considered the beneficial owner of shares held in street name, and these proxy materials are being forwarded to you by your broker or nominee together with a voting instruction form. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker or nominee how to vote and are also invited to attend the Annual Meeting. However, since you are not the shareholder of record, you may not vote these shares in person at the meeting unless you obtain a “legal proxy” from the broker or nominee that holds your shares, giving you the right to vote the shares. Your broker or nominee has enclosed or provided voting instructions for you to use in directing the broker or nominee how to vote your shares.

Q: HOW CAN I ATTEND THE ANNUAL MEETING?

A: You are entitled to attend the Annual Meeting only if you were a shareholder of the Company as of the close of business on August 22, 2018, or you hold a valid proxy for the Annual Meeting. You should be prepared to present photo identification for admittance. If you are not a record holder but hold shares through a broker or nominee (i.e., in street name), you should provide proof of beneficial ownership on the record date, such as an account statement, a copy of the voting instruction card provided by your broker or nominee, or other similar evidence of ownership. If you do not provide photo identification or comply with the other procedures outlined above upon request, you will not be admitted to the Annual Meeting. The Annual Meeting will begin promptly at 1:30 p.m. (local Ottawa time). Check-in will begin at 1:00 p.m., and you should allow ample time for the check-in procedures.

Q: HOW CAN I VOTE MY SHARES IN PERSON AT THE ANNUAL MEETING?

A: Shares held directly in your name as the shareholder of record may be voted in person at the Annual Meeting. Shares held in street name may be voted in person only if you obtain a “legal proxy” from the broker or nominee that holds your shares giving you the right to vote the shares.

Q: HOW CAN I VOTE MY SHARES WITHOUT ATTENDING THE ANNUAL MEETING?

A: Whether you hold shares directly as the shareholder of record or beneficially in street name, you may direct how your shares are to be voted without attending the meeting. Record holders of Common Shares may submit proxies by completing, signing and dating their proxy cards and mailing them in the accompanying pre-addressed envelopes. The Company’s shareholders who hold shares in street name may vote by mail by completing, signing and dating the voting instruction forms provided by their brokers or nominees and mailing them in the accompanying pre-addressed envelopes.

Q: CAN I CHANGE MY VOTE?

A: You may change your vote at any time prior to the vote at the Annual Meeting. For shares held directly in your name, you may accomplish this by granting a new proxy bearing a later date (which automatically revokes the earlier proxy) or by attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person. Attendance at the meeting will not cause your previously granted proxy to be revoked unless you specifically so request. For shares you hold beneficially, you may change your vote by submitting new voting instructions to your broker or nominee, or, if you have obtained a “legal proxy” from your broker or nominee giving you the right to vote your shares, by attending the meeting and voting in person. You may also change your vote by sending a written notice of revocation to Dr. Michael Cowpland, President and Chief Executive Officer, 150 Isabella Street, Suite 150, Ottawa, Ontario, K1S 1V7.

Q: WHO CAN ANSWER MY QUESTIONS?

A: If you have any questions about the Annual Meeting or how to vote or revoke your proxy, you should contact John Chapman at ZIM’s Headquarters, 150 Isabella Street, Suite 150, Ottawa, Ontario, K1S 1V7 or at (613) 791-9076.

Management Disclosure and Financial Statements extracted from our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended March 31, 2018 was included as part of this proxy statement. If you need additional copies of this management proxy circular, the voting materials or the Annual Report, you should contact John Chapman as described above.

Q: HOW ARE VOTES COUNTED?

A: You may vote “FOR” the ratification of the appointment of the independent auditors or your vote may be “WITHHELD”. If you provide specific instructions, your shares will be voted as you instruct. If you sign your proxy card or voting instruction card with no further instructions, your shares will be voted in accordance with the recommendation of the Board of Directors (“FOR” the resolutions). If any other matters properly arise at the meeting, your proxy, together with the other proxies received, will be voted at the discretion of the proxy holders.

Q: WHAT IS A QUORUM AND WHY IS IT NECESSARY?

A: Applicable law requires a quorum to conduct business at the meeting. The presence, either in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the Company’s Common Shares outstanding on August 22, 2018 constitutes a quorum.

Q: HOW MANY SHARES ARE OUTSTANDING AND ENTITLED TO VOTE?

A: 8,136,348 Common Shares were issued and outstanding on August 22, 2018, the Record Date. Holders of record of outstanding Common Shares at the close of business on the Record Date are entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. Each holder is entitled to one vote in respect of each Common Share held.

Q: WHAT IS THE VOTING REQUIREMENT TO APPROVE THE PROPOSAL?

A: The proposal requires the affirmative “FOR” vote of a majority of those shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the proposal at the Annual Meeting. Accordingly, if you do not return your signed proxy card or voting instruction form, you will not be able to affect the vote.

Q: WHAT SHOULD I DO IF I RECEIVE MORE THAN ONE SET OF VOTING MATERIALS?

A: You may receive more than one set of voting materials, including multiple copies of this management proxy circular and multiple proxy cards or voting instruction forms. For example, if you hold your shares in more than one brokerage account, you will receive a separate voting instruction form for each brokerage account in which you hold shares. If you are a shareholder of record and your shares are registered in more than one name, you will receive more than one proxy card. Please complete, sign, date and return each proxy card and voting instruction form that you receive.

Q: WHY DO SOME SHAREHOLDERS SHARING THE SAME SURNAME AND ADDRESS RECEIVE ONLY ONE SET OF VOTING MATERIALS?

In some cases, shareholders holding their shares in a brokerage or bank account who share the same surname and address and have not given contrary instructions are receiving only one copy of our management proxy circular. This practice is designed to reduce duplicate mailings and save significant printing and postage costs as well as natural resources. If you would like to have additional copies of our management proxy circular mailed to you, or if you would like to receive separate copies of future mailings, or if you would like to receive a single copy instead of multiple copies of future mailings, please submit your request to the address or phone number that appears on your voting instruction form.

Q: WHERE CAN I FIND THE VOTING RESULTS OF THE ANNUAL MEETING?

A: We intend to announce preliminary voting results at the Annual Meeting and publish final results in our Quarterly Report on Form 6-K for the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2018, which we anticipate filing by November 16, 2018.

Q: WHAT HAPPENS IF ADDITIONAL MATTERS ARE PRESENTED AT THE ANNUAL MEETING?

A: Other than the item of business described in this management proxy circular, we are not aware of any other business to be acted upon at the Annual Meeting. However, if you grant a proxy, the persons named as proxy holders, Michael Cowpland, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, and Jim Stechyson, the Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors, or their substitutes, will have the discretion to vote your shares on any additional matter properly presented for a vote at the meeting.

Q: WHO WILL COUNT THE VOTES?

A: An inspector or inspectors of election will tabulate the votes. We expect that the inspector of election will be John Chapman, the Chief Financial Officer of ZIM.

Q: IS MY VOTE CONFIDENTIAL?

A: Proxy instructions, ballots and voting tabulations that identify individual shareholders are handled in a manner that protects your voting privacy. Your vote will not be disclosed either within the Company or to third parties, except: (1) as necessary to meet applicable legal requirements, (2) to allow for the tabulation of votes and certification of the vote, or (3) to facilitate a successful proxy solicitation.

Q: WHO WILL BEAR THE COST OF SOLICITING VOTES FOR THE ANNUAL MEETING?

A: The Board of Directors is making this solicitation, and the Company will pay the entire cost of preparing, assembling, printing, mailing and distributing these proxy materials. Certain of our directors, officers and employees, without any additional compensation, may also solicit your vote in person, by telephone or by electronic communication. Upon request, we will also reimburse brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses for forwarding proxy and solicitation materials to shareholders.

Q: MAY I PROPOSE ACTIONS FOR CONSIDERATION AT NEXT YEAR’S ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS?

A: You may submit proposals for consideration at future shareholder meetings. If you wish to make a proposal for consideration at our 2019 Annual Meeting of shareholders, the written proposal must be received by the corporate secretary of the Company no later than June 17, 2019. However, in order for a shareholder proposal to be considered for inclusion in the Company’s management proxy circular statement for next year’s annual shareholders’ meeting, the written proposal must be received by the corporate secretary of the Company no later than April 8, 2019. Such proposals also will need to comply with the provisions of the Canada Business Corporations Act regarding the inclusion of shareholder proposals in corporation-sponsored proxy materials.

In order to curtail controversy as to the date on which ZIM receives a proposal, you should submit your proposal by Certified Mail-Return Receipt Requested.

Q: WILL A REPRESENTATIVE FROM THE AUDITORS AND LEGAL COUNSEL BE IN ATTENDANCE AT THE ANNUAL MEETING?

A: The Company expects that the Company’s registered public accounting firm will be represented by Shawn Mincoff from MNP LLP. In addition, the Company expects that Debbie Weinstein from our Canadian legal counsel, LaBarge Weinstein LLP, will also be available.

PROPOSAL ONE

RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

MNP LLP (“MNP”) was first appointed as the Company’s registered public accounting firm with respect to the audit of the Company’s financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2015, and has audited the Company’s financial statements until March 31, 2018. The Audit Committee of our Board of Directors believes that MNP is well qualified to continue and has recommended its reappointment as the Company’s registered public accounting firm for the year ended March 31, 2019.

Audit Fees and All Other Fees

For services related to the most recent fiscal year, we incurred audit and tax fees with MNP as follows:

		Year ended March 31, 2018
Audit fees		51,191
Tax fees(1)	8,126
Total		59,317

(1)

Consisting principally of fees related to tax compliance, tax planning and tax advice services, including preparation and review of tax returns, assistance with tax audits and refund claims.

Pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, in October 2003 the Audit Committee established ZIM Corporation’s Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policy whereby the Committee is required to pre-approve the audit fees, and the provision of tax and other non-audit related services by MNP, after MNP provides a description of the services to be performed and specific fee estimates for each such service. The Audit Committee limits the engagement by the Company of MNP for non-audit services and tax services to those circumstances where the services are considered integral to the audit services that it provides, or in which there is another compelling rationale for using its services. The Audit Committee considered the provision by MNP of the above-mentioned tax services and other non-audit services and concluded that the provision of these services was compatible with maintaining the independence of MNP. The members of the Audit Committee are Donald Gibbs (Chair) and Steve Houck. 100% of the above mentioned fees were approved in advance. The Company anticipates that representatives of MNP will attend the Annual Meeting for the purpose of responding to appropriate questions, and they will be afforded an opportunity to make a statement if they so desire.

The proposal to reappoint MNP as the Company’s registered public accounting firm must be passed by at least a majority of the votes cast by the holders of Common Shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR THE RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF MNP LLP AS THE COMPANY’S AUDITORS FOR THE 2019 FISCAL YEAR.

* * * * *

The prompt return of the proxy will be appreciated and helpful in obtaining the necessary vote. Therefore, whether or not you expect to attend the meeting, please sign the proxy and return it in the enclosed envelope.

The contents of this Management Proxy Circular and its sending to shareholders of the Company have been approved by the directors of the Company.

BY ORDER OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

MANAGEMENT DISCLOSURE

FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

This Management Disclosure contains certain "forward looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which can be identified by terminology such as "planned," "expected," "will," "potential," "pipeline," "outlook," or similar expressions, or by express or implied discussions regarding our business, financial condition, recapitalization, pursuit of new ventures, restructuring, results of operations, controls and procedures, and prospects that are based on our current expectations, estimates and projections. In addition, other written or oral statements which constitute forward-looking statements may be made by or on behalf of the registrant. Words such as "expects," "anticipates," "intends," "plans," "believes," "seeks," "estimates," or variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance, and are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. As a result, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from the outcomes and results discussed in or anticipated by the forward-looking statements. All such statements are therefore qualified in their entirety by reference to the factors specifically addressed in the section entitled "Risk Factors" as well as those discussed elsewhere in this Management Disclosure. We operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks can arise and it is not possible for management to predict all such risks, nor can it assess the impact of all such risks on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Given these risks and uncertainties, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results. All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Management Disclosure. We undertake no obligation to revise or update publicly any forward-looking statements in order to reflect any event or circumstance that may arise after the date of this Management Disclosure, other than as required by law.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS

BECAUSE THE REVENUE AND INCOME POTENTIAL OF OUR BUSINESS AND MARKETS ARE UNPROVEN, WE CANNOT PREDICT WHETHER WE WILL MEET INTERNAL OR EXTERNAL EXPECTATIONS OF FUTURE PERFORMANCE.

We believe that our future success depends on our ability to significantly increase revenue from our operations. Accordingly, our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by technology and innovation companies. These risks include our ability to:

Offer competitive pricing for our services;
Maintain our current relationships and develop new strategic relationships;
Attract and retain qualified employees;
Maintain our current customer and user base of our IDE software; and
Offer new and innovative upgrades to our IDE software.

IF WE ARE UNABLE TO OBTAIN ADDITIONAL FUNDS, WHEN REQUIRED, IN A TIMELY MANNER OR ON ACCEPTABLE TERMS, WE MAY HAVE TO CURTAIL OR SUSPEND CERTAIN ASPECTS OF OUR BUSINESS OPERATIONS, WHICH COULD HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR BUSINESS RELATIONSHIPS, FINANCIAL RESULTS, FINANCIAL CONDITION AND PROSPECTS.

We anticipate that our cash and cash equivalents balance at March 31, 2018 of $418,507 along with cash generated from operations will be sufficient to meet our present operating and capital expenditures through fiscal 2019. Management will continue its efforts to increase revenue, its cost reduction activities and strive to eliminate liabilities and reduce our current operational costs. However, there is no guarantee that unanticipated circumstances will not require additional liquidity.

Future liquidity and cash requirements will depend on a wide range of factors including the level of success the Company has in executing its strategic plan as well as its ability to maintain business in existing operations and to raise additional financing. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to meet its working capital needs for any future period.

WE MAY EXPERIENCE DIFFICULTIES ACCURATELY FORECASTING OUR OPERATING RESULTS, THEREBY MAKING OUR BUSINESS OPERATIONS MORE DIFFICULT TO SUSTAIN.

Due to the intense competition in the mobile and database industries, we may not be able to accurately forecast our future operating results. If our gross margins from our operations fall materially short of estimated expenses, our business operations will become more difficult to sustain since we will then have to reduce our spending and/or raise additional capital over and above any current capital raising plans. It may not be possible for us to accomplish either task in a timely manner, or at all, in which event we would have to curtail or suspend certain or all of our business operations. Any action to such effect is likely to have a material adverse effect on our business relationships, financial results, financial condition and prospects.

OUR OPERATING RESULTS ARE SUBJECT TO SIGNIFICANT FLUCTUATIONS.

We may experience significant fluctuations in our operating results due to a variety of factors, many of which are outside of our control. Factors that may cause our operating results to fluctuate include: our ability to retain existing customers, attract new customers at a steady rate and maintain user satisfaction; technical difficulties or system downtime; the amount and timing of operating costs and capital expenditures relating to expansion of our business, operations and infrastructure; currency fluctuations; government stability in Brazil and industry regulation. As a result of these and other factors, you should not place undue reliance on year-to-year comparisons of our operating results as indicators of likely future performance.

WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO ADAPT QUICKLY ENOUGH TO TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE AND CHANGING CUSTOMER REQUIREMENTS, THEREBY LOSING SALES.

If we are unable to adapt to the rapid changes in technology and customer needs that are inherent to technology based industries, we may lose sales and fail to grow. In order to meet these rapid changes, we will have to effectively integrate new wireless and data technologies, continue to develop our technologies and technical expertise and respond to changing customer needs.

THE LOSS OF THE SERVICES OF DR. MICHAEL COWPLAND, MR. JAMES STECHYSON AND OTHER KEY PERSONNEL COULD NEGATIVELY AFFECT OUR BUSINESS.

We currently depend heavily on the services of Dr. Michael Cowpland and Mr. James Stechyson. The loss of the services of Dr. Cowpland, Mr. Stechyson or other key personnel could affect our performance in a material and adverse way.

OUR INTERNAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING ARE NOT EFFECTIVE

We did not have effective internal control procedures in place at March 31, 2018, when we evaluated our internal control over financial reporting under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. This could affect the reliability of our consolidated financial statements. We are attempting to remedy our weaknesses but as a small company we have limited resources to employ for this purpose. See item 15 of this our Form 20-F for the year ended March 31, 2018 for additional information on our attempts to rectify our weaknesses. The reduction of the risk will require additional expenses and use of management's time.

OUR STRATEGIC DIRECTION IS EVOLVING, WHICH COULD NEGATIVELY AFFECT OUR FUTURE RESULTS.

Since inception, our business model has evolved and is likely to continue to evolve as we refine our offerings and market focus. Prior to 2004, we focused on developing SMS products, in 2004 through to fiscal 2007 we focused on our SMS aggregation services. From fiscal 2008 to 2012, we focused on offering mobile content, applications development and the development of new IDE software. As at March 31, 2013 we have discontinued mobile content sales due to very low sales volume and have redirected resources related to mobile content to the continued development of our IDE software. We continue to evaluate opportunities and alternative strategies in a rapidly evolving market. We plan to leverage our intellectual capital, core technologies and other business assets to focus on new strategic directions and attempt to maximize shareholder value. Changes to our business may not prove successful in the short or long term and may negatively impact our financial results.

WE OPERATE IN RAPIDLY EVOLVING MARKETS, AND OUR BUSINESS MODEL CONTINUES TO EVOLVE, WHICH MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO EVALUATE OUR FUTURE PROSPECTS.

Our potential for future profitability must be considered in the light of the risks, uncertainties, and difficulties encountered by companies that are in rapidly evolving markets and continuing to innovate with new and unproven technologies or services, as well as undergoing significant change. In addition to the other risks we describe in this section, some of these risks relate to our potential inability to attract and retain unique and sought after technology; to control expenditures and to respond quickly and appropriately to industry developments, including rapid technological change; changes in customer requirements; and new products introduced into our markets by our competitors. If we do not effectively address the risks we face, we may not achieve profitability.

IF WE ARE UNABLE TO MANAGE THE INTEGRATION OF ANY ACQUIRED BUSINESSES, OUR FINANCIAL CONDITION AND OPERATING RESULTS MAY BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED.

A failure to effectively manage the integration of any acquisitions we may make may adversely affect our business and financial condition. Any acquisition that we make will place significant demand on management, technical and other resources.

WE HAVE AFFILIATED SHAREHOLDERS WHO CAN SUBSTANTIALLY INFLUENCE THE OUTCOME OF ALL MATTERS VOTED UPON BY OUR SHAREHOLDERS AND WHOSE INTERESTS MAY NOT BE ALIGNED WITH YOURS.

The beneficial ownership of our Chief Executive Officer and related parties is approximately 53%. As a result; they are able to substantially influence all matters requiring the approval of our shareholders, including the election of directors and the approval of significant corporate transactions such as acquisitions. This concentration of ownership could delay, defer or prevent a change in control or otherwise impede a merger or other business combination that our Board of Directors or other shareholders may view favorably.

RISKS RELATED TO THE INDUSTRIES IN WHICH WE OPERATE

INTENSE COMPETITION IN THE MOBILE SERVICES AND DATABASE MARKETS COULD PREVENT US FROM INCREASING OR RETAINING SUBSCRIPTIONS FOR OUR SERVICES OR CAUSE US TO LOSE MARKET SHARE.

Our future business model for database applications depends on our ability to sell our products and service offerings in an extremely competitive and rapidly changing market. Our competitors may have substantially greater financial, technical and marketing resources, larger customer bases, longer operating histories, more developed infrastructures, greater name recognition or more established relationships in the industry than we have. Our competitors may be able to adopt more aggressive pricing policies, develop and expand their service offerings more rapidly, adapt to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements more quickly, take advantage of acquisitions and other opportunities more readily, achieve greater economies of scale, and devote greater resources to the marketing and sale of their services than we can. Because of these competitive factors and due to our relatively small size and financial resources, we may be unable to compete successfully.

CONSOLIDATION IN THE INDUSTRIES IN WHICH WE OPERATE COULD LEAD TO INCREASED COMPETITION AND LOSS OF CUSTOMERS.

The mobile industry has experienced substantial consolidation. We expect this consolidation to continue. These acquisitions could adversely affect our business and results of operations in a number of ways, including the following:

Our distribution partners could acquire or be acquired by one of our competitors and terminate their relationships with us;
Our distribution partners could merge with each other, which could reduce our ability to negotiate favorable terms;
Competitors could improve their competitive positions through strategic acquisitions; and
Companies from whom we acquire content could acquire or be acquired by one of our competitors and stop licensing content to us, or gain additional negotiating leverage in their relationships with us.

DIRECTORS, SENIOR MANAGEMENT AND EMPLOYEES

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Philosophy

We design all of our compensation programs to retain and as necessary attract key employees who are motivated to achieve growth in technology. Our program has been kept simple due to the size of our staff and our lack of performance measurements. Our programs are designed to reward performance based on team and individual performances. Due to the size of our organization, our executive compensation programs impact all employees because these programs help establish expectations for our general approach to rewards. The Company encourages our business leaders to work together to create a high performance environment that is reinforced by constant attention to individual’s goals and expectations. We believe that the performance of the executives in managing our company should be considered in light of general economic and specific company, industry and competitive conditions. We believe that our compensation programs for our executives should reflect our success as a management team and in attaining an increased value for shareholders. We also believe that individual performance should be evaluated annually and considered in compensation decisions.

Overview of Compensation and Process

Elements of compensation for our executives include: salary and stock option grants and health, disability and life insurance. Our Compensation Committee consists of Messrs Stechyson and Houck. It generally meets as required to review any changes to the compensation plans for the next year. In fiscal 2018, there were no changes to the plan, no bonuses and no changes to the salary levels for executives, and as a result, there were no Compensation Committee meetings.

Due to the size of the organization, the Compensation Committee is aware of all the elements of each executive’s total compensation over each of the past three years, as well as a comparison to the compensation of other executive officers in an appropriate market comparison group. Typically, our Chief Executive Officer recommends compensation changes with respect to the executive officers who report to him. The Chief Executive Officer has no salary so there have been no compensation recommendations to the compensation committee with respect to him. All option grants to the executives in the organization are approved by our Board of Directors at the time of grant. The Compensation Committee has the authority to accept or adjust any recommendations.

We choose to pay each element of compensation in order to attract and retain the necessary executive talent, reward annual performance and provide incentive for their balanced focus on long-term strategic goals as well as short-term performance. The amount of each element of compensation is determined by or under the direction of the Compensation Committee, which uses the following factors to determine the amount of salary and other benefits to pay each executive:

Performance in the previous year;
Difficulty of achieving desired results in the coming year;
Value of their unique skills and capabilities to increase the performance of the Company;
Performance of their general management responsibilities; and
Contribution as a member of the management team.

These elements fit into our overall compensation objectives by helping to secure the future potential of our operations, facilitating our entry into new markets, providing proper compliance and regulatory guidance, and helping to create a cohesive team.

Our policy for allocating between long-term and currently paid compensation is to ensure adequate base compensation to attract and retain personnel, while providing stock option incentives to maximize long-term value for our Company.

Base Salary and Bonus

It is the goal of the Compensation Committee to establish salary compensation for our executive officers based on our comparable peer companies. We believe that this gives us the opportunity to attract and retain appropriate managerial employees both at the senior executive level and below.

Equity Incentives

A significant goal of our compensation is to afford our executives (and employees) an opportunity to participate in our performance through stock option grants. The Compensation Committee considers factors such as the ability for the Company to attract, motivate and retain qualified individuals and to align their success with that of the Company’s Shareholders through the achievement of strategic corporate objectives and creation of shareholder value. The level of equity incentives paid to an individual is based on the individual’s overall experience, responsibility, performance and base salary.

Factors also considered are the equity incentives offered for similar positions in the high tech industry and other labor markets in which the Company competes for employees. The Compensation Committee compares remuneration for executive officers of the Company to the remuneration for similar executives in relevant labor markets.

Perquisites

We limit the perquisites that we make available to our executive officers. Our executives are not entitled to any benefits that are not otherwise available to all of our employees.

Post-Employment Compensation

We do not provide pension arrangements or post-retirement health coverage for our executives or employees. Our executive officers are eligible to participate in our registered retirement savings plan.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Board of Directors and Shareholders of ZIM Corporation

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of ZIM Corporation (the Company) as of March 31, 2018 and 2017, and the related statements of loss and comprehensive loss, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended March 31, 2018, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2018 and 2017, and the results of its consolidated operations and its consolidated cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended March 31, 2018, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern

Without modifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, which indicates that the Company incurred a net loss of $42,902 and an accumulated deficit of $21,325,620 during the year ended March 31, 2018. The Company's continuance as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate revenue sufficient to fund its cash flow needs. These conditions as described in Note 2, indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards and the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2015.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Year Ended March 31, 2018

(Expressed in US dollars)

1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS

COMPANY OVERVIEW

ZIM Corporation (“ZIM” or the “Company”) is a provider of software products and services for the database and mobile markets. ZIM products and services are used by enterprises in the design, development and management of business, database and mobile applications. ZIM also provides mobile content to the consumer market.

BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT

ZIM was formed under the laws of Canada on October 17, 2002, in order to purchase ZIM Technologies International Inc. (“ZIM Technologies”), which was formed in 1997 to acquire the software technology now called the ZIM Integrated Development Environment (the “ZIM IDE software”). On February 10, 2004, ZIM purchased UK-based short messaging service (“SMS”) firms EPL Communications Limited and E-Promotions Limited (together referred to as “EPL”). During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006, EPL was dissolved and all operations were transferred to ZIM Corporation in Canada. ZIM is also the sole shareholder of ZIM Technologies do Brazil Ltda., a company incorporated in Brazil that distributes the ZIM IDE Software, and PCI Merge, Inc., a Florida based holding company with no operations. Until March 31, 2004, ZIM was the sole shareholder of ZIM Technologies, a Canadian federal corporation and the chief operating company of the ZIM group of companies. On April 1, 2004, ZIM Corporation and ZIM Technologies amalgamated into ZIM Corporation. On April 1, 2006, ZIM purchased a US-based mobile content company called Advanced Internet Inc. (“AIS”). In April 2016, ZIM incorporated a wholly owned subsidiary called GeneSpans Corporation. GeneSpans is focused on developing intellectual property and advancing research and development in the areas of new synthetic drugs and immunotherapies. Genespans name was changed to NuvoBio Corporation on August 25, 2016.

BUSINESS OF THE COMPANY

ZIM started operations as a developer and provider of database software known as ZIM IDE software. ZIM IDE software is used by companies in the design, development, and management of information databases and mission critical applications. The Company continues to provide this software and support services to its client base.

Beginning in 2002, the Company expanded its business to include opportunities associated with mobile products. Prior to fiscal 2007, the Company focused on developing products and services for the wireless data network infrastructure known as “SMS” or “text messaging”. Although SMS will continue to provide a minimal amount of revenue within the mobile segment of ZIM’s operations, with the acquisition of AIS, the Company shifted its corporate focus to include offering mobile content directly to end users.

In fiscal 2008, ZIM added the ZIM TV service and in partnership with the International Table Tennis Federation (“ITTF”) provided development and hosting services for IPTV to ITTF end users. However, due to low sales volumes ZIM exited this market in fiscal 2009.

In fiscal 2018, ZIM continued to develop and sell enterprise database software to end users as well as maintain its SMS messaging business. At March 31, 2013 ZIM discontinued the sale of mobile content.

Also, in 2017, NuvoBio signed strategic partnerships and exclusive global licensing agreements with leading drug research institutes and companies. The Company is currently funding research and development projects in the following areas:

New peptide-derived inhibitors for therapeutic intervention against breast cancer cell lines in the presence or absence of chemotherapeutics to characterize the in vivo effects of promising inhibitors; and

The development of immunology therapies for the treatment of kidney cancer.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Year Ended March 31, 2018

(Expressed in US dollars)

2 - GOING CONCERN

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("US GAAP").The going concern basis of presentation assumes that the Company w il l continue in operation for the foreseeable future and be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitment s in the normal course of business. T o date the Company has incurred an accumulated loss of $21,325,620 and negative cash flow fro m operations of $18,147 for the year ended March 31, 2018. This raises significant doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern and to realize the carrying value of its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitment s when due is dependent on the Company generating revenue sufficient to fund its cash flow needs. There is no certainty that this and other strategies will be sufficient to permit the Company to continue as a going concern.

Management is currently investigating and evaluating options that may include recapitalization of the Company and pursuing other ventures of a different nature.

The consolidated financial statements do not reflect adjustments that would be necessary if the going concern assumption were not appropriate. If the going concern basis were not appropriate for these consolidated financial statements, then adjustments would be necessary in the carrying value of the assets and liabilities, the reported revenue and expenses and the classifications used in the consolidated balance sheets. Such differences in amounts could be material.

3 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("US GAAP").

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned. The results of operations for acquisitions are included in these consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. Inter-company transactions and balances are eliminated upon consolidation .

INVESTMENTS

Investments for which the Company has no significant influence (generally less than a 20% ownership interest) or does not exert significant influence are designated as available-for-sale if readily determinable market values are available. If an investment’s fair value is not readily determinable, the Company accounts for its investment at cost. Unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale investments are included in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes and other adjustments until the investment is sold or considered impaired. Dividends and other distributions of earnings from available-for-sale investments and cost investments are included in Other Income.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amount of revenue and expenses during the period. Estimates have been made by management in several areas, including, but not limited to, the realizability of accounts receivable and investments, the valuation allowance associated with deferred income tax assets, investment tax credits, expected useful life of equipment, the fair value calculation with respect to the stock options, and the accrued accounts receivable and accrued accounts payable related to our premium SMS business. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Year Ended March 31, 2018

(Expressed in US dollars)

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS

Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company determines its allowance for doubtful accounts by considering a number of factors, including the age of the receivable, the financial stability of the customer, discussions that may have occurred with the customer and management's judgment as to the overall collectability of the receivable from that customer. The Company writes off accounts receivable when they become uncollectible, and payments subsequently received on such receivables are credited to selling, general and administration accounts in the period of recovery.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

The Company derives revenue from two sources: enterprise software, including maintenance and consulting services and mobile services and applications. Enterprise software involves providing enterprise software for designing, developing and manipulating database systems and applications. Mobile services involve providing SMS and other content applications and services. The Company presents revenues net of sales tax and other related taxes.

ENTERPRISE SOFTWARE REVENUE RECOGNITION

ZIM records revenues from the perpetual license of the Company's software products and the sale of related maintenance and consulting. The Company's standard license agreement provides a license to use the Company's products based on the number of licensed users. The Company may license its software in multiple element arrangements if the customer purchases any combination of maintenance, consulting or training services in conjunction with the license.

The Company recognizes revenue pursuant to the requirements of the ASC 985-605 "Software Revenue Recognition". Revenue is recognized using the residual method when vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value exists for all of the undelivered elements in the arrangement, but does not exist for one or more delivered elements. The Company allocates revenue to each undelivered element based on its respective fair value determined by the price charged when that element is sold separately. The Company defers revenue for the undelivered elements and recognizes the residual amount of the arrangement fee, if any. The separate elements of the arrangements are considered to be separate units of accounting.

Revenue is recognized when the following four criteria have been met:

	·	Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists;
	·	Delivery has occurred;
	·	The fee is fixed and determinable; and
	·	Collectability is probable.

The Company records revenue as earned as evidenced by contracts or invoices for its services at prices established by contract, price list and/or fee schedule less applicable discounts. If at the outset of an arrangement the Company determines that the arrangement fee is not fixed or determinable, revenue is deferred until the arrangement fee becomes due. If at the outset of an arrangement the Company determines that the collectability is not probable, revenue is deferred until payment is received.

Collectability is assessed based on the collection history of the client, current economic trends, customer concentrations and customer credit worthiness. Delivery of the software has occurred once the customer has accepted the product or has been provided with permanent keys to the file transfer protocol ("FTP") site. If an arrangement allows for customer acceptance of the software or services, the Company defers revenue recognition until the earlier of customer acceptance or when the acceptance right lapses.

(Expressed in US dollars)

MAINTENANCE AND CONSULTING REVENUE RECOGNITION

Maintenance revenues are recognized equally over the term of the maintenance contract. The liability relating to the received but unearned portion of maintenance revenues is recognized as deferred revenues.

Consulting revenue, which represents services provided on a per diem basis to customers, is recognized as the services are performed as there are no customer acceptance provisions involved in these types of arrangements. Consulting revenue, which represents services provided on a fixed price basis to customers, is recognized upon achieving the related milestone.

In general, credit terms of 30 days are extended to customers with a small number of customers receiving longer payment terms based on the long-standing relationship with ZIM.

MOBILE REVENUE RECOGNITION

Revenues from the Company’s mobile segment are derived principally from providing aggregation services and from their mobile content portals.

Aggregation services. Aggregation services occur when ZIM sends messages from its content provider customers through mobile operators to end users on their cell phones. In this situation, the Company contracts with its customers that cannot connect directly to the mobile operators and with the third party mobile operators or other aggregators directly for the transmission of the messages. Net revenues are recognized in the month in which the service is performed, provided no significant ZIM obligations remain. ZIM relies on a number of mobile network operators and other aggregators globally to deliver its services. Generally, (i) within 15 to 45 days after the end of each month, ZIM receives a statement from each of the operators or aggregators confirming the amount of charges billed to that operator's mobile phone users and (ii) within 30 to 90 days after delivering a monthly statement, each operator or aggregator remits the fees for the month to ZIM. ZIM arranges to pay the mobile content provider a set amount per message under a revenue sharing arrangement. ZIM nets this revenue share fee against the revenue it receives from the mobile operators in accordance with ASC 605.

Revenues are recorded on a net basis as the mobile content provider is the primary obligor in the transaction as they manage and market the content, which ZIM then distributes. ZIM’s role within the transaction is limited to providing transmission and a billing mechanism for the mobile content provider.

Mobile content portals. On April 1, 2006, ZIM acquired two internet portals offering mobile content. Consumers are able to download ring tones and wallpapers directly from the internet sites to their mobile phones. The majority of consumers choose to pay for the content with their credit card with the balance of consumers paying through the use of a premium message. If they use a premium message to pay for their content, the charge is paid on their cell phone bill.

Revenues from all sales are recorded on a gross basis as ZIM manages and markets the content ZIM distributes. Revenue on mobile content is recognized at the point of sale, when the customer purchases content from the websites.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES

Costs related to research, design and development of products and applications are charged to research and development expense as incurred. Software development costs are capitalized beginning when a product's technological feasibility has been established, which generally occurs upon completion of a working model, and ending when a product is available for general release to customers. All subsequent costs are expensed as incurred. To date, completing a working model of the Company's products and the general release of the products has substantially coincided. The Company has not capitalized any software development costs since such costs have not been significant.

ZIM Corporation and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Year Ended March 31, 2018

(Expressed in US dollars)

The Company qualifies for scientific research and experimental development refundable investment tax credits. These credits are recorded as a reduction of research and development expense when it is more likely than not that the credits will be realized. Other non-refundable investment tax credits not utilized in the current year can be used to offset income taxes in future years.

TRANSLATION OF FOREIGN CURRENCIES

The Company's reporting currency is the US dollar and the functional currency is the Canadian dollar for ZIM Corporation and NuvoBio, US Dollar for AIS and Brazilian Reals for ZIM do Brazil.

The accounts of the Company's subsidiaries that are recorded in their respective functional currencies, remeasure their foreign currency transactions as follows: gains or losses from foreign currency transactions such as those resulting from the settlement of receivables or payables denominated in foreign currency, are remeasured at the weighted average exchange rates for the period and are included in the statement of comprehensive loss of the current period. For the years ended March 31, 2018, 2017, and 2016, the Company recognized a foreign exchange loss of $2,504, $1,246, and $592, respectively, in the accompanying consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss included in the selling, general and administrative expenses.

The translation of the Company's consolidated financial statements from the functional currency to its reporting currency is performed as follows: all assets and liabilities are translated into US dollars at the rate of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date. Equity transactions are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the date of the transaction. Revenues, expenses and cash flow amounts are translated at the weighted average exchange rates for the period. The resulting translation adjustments are included in other comprehensive income in shareholders' equity. The translation adjustments did not result in a tax impact.

INCOME TAXES

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis and operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards using tax rates and laws in effect in the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. When necessary, a valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the tax assets to an amount for which realization is more likely than not. The effect of changes in tax rates is recognized in the period in which the rate change occurs.

The Company is subject to examination by taxing authorities in the jurisdictions of Canada, Brazil and the United States. Management does not believe that there are any uncertain tax positions that would result in an asset or liability for taxes being recognized in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings per share are calculated giving effect to the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common shares were exercised or converted to such shares at the later of the beginning of the period or the issuance date. This method is used to determine the dilutive effect of common shares. The treasury stock method is used to determine the dilutive effect of warrants and stock options. The treasury stock method assumes that proceeds received from the exercise of in-the-money share purchase warrants and stock options are used to repurchase common shares at the average market price during the period.

STOCK OPTIONS AND GRANTS

Compensation cost for all stock-based awards is measured at fair value on the date of grant and recognized as compensation expense over the service period for awards expected to vest. Stock-based awards granted to consultants are measured at fair value on the grant date and compensation expense is recognized on the date at which the consultant's performance is complete which, for the Company, is on the date of grant.

The fair value of stock options is determined using the Black Scholes-Merton option pricing model. The expected dividend yield is based on historical dividend payouts, the expected volatility is based on historical volatilities of company stock (management believes that the historical volatility is an appropriate measure of expected volatility) for a period approximating the expected life; the risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for periods corresponding with the expected life of the option; and the expected life represents the period of time the options are expected to be outstanding and is based on historical trends. The weighted average assumptions used in the computations are as follows:

	Year ended March 31, 2018			Year ended March 31, 2017			Year ended March 31, 2016

Risk-free interest rates		1.93	%		1.36	%		0.99	%
Expected volatility		433	%		206	%		161	%
Dividend yield		—			—			—
Expected life of options (years)		3.0			3.0			3.0

EQUIPMENT

Equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the underlying assets using the following methods and rates:

Computer equipment	40%	Declining balance
Software	40%	Declining balance
Office furniture and equipment	20%	Declining balance
Voice communications equipment	20%	Declining balance
Leasehold improvements	5 years	Straight line over the lesser of 5 years or the term of the underlying lease

IMPAIRMENT OF EQUIPMENT

Equipment is tested for impairment when evidence of a decline in value exists, and adjustments to estimated fair value are made if the asset is impaired. Whenever events and circumstances indicate that the Company may not be able to recover the net book value of its productive assets, that the assets are deemed impaired and are to be written down to their estimated fair value through a charge to earnings. The guidance states that fair values may be estimated using discounted cash flow analysis or quoted market prices, together with other available information. The Company reviewed its property and equipment assets for impairment to determine if there were events or changes in circumstances that would indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable through future cash flows. It was determined that no impairment was evident.

INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Intangible assets, which consist of database migration methodologies and software, are determined to have finite lives and are amortized on the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, which is 60 months.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) or other standards setting bodies that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the Company’s management believes that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have any significant impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

In May 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09 related to revenue from contracts with customers. This standard requires an entity to recognize revenue when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is not permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact ASU 2014-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In January, 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-01, Financial Instruments–Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (the ASU). Changes to the current GAAP model primarily affects the accounting for equity investments, financial liabilities under the fair value option, and the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments. In addition, the FASB clarified guidance related to the valuation allowance assessment when recognizing deferred tax assets resulting from unrealized losses on available-for-sale debt securities. The accounting for other financial instruments, such as loans, investments in debt securities, and financial liabilities is largely unchanged. The classification and measurement guidance will be effective for public business entities in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. We are currently evaluating the impact ASU 2016-01 will have on our consolidated financial statements.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718). The ASU provides clarity and reduces both (1) diversity in practice and (2) cost and complexity when applying the guidance in Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, to a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. The ASU will be effective for the annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period, for (1) public business entities for reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued and (2) all other entities for reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been made available for issuance.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) – Restricted Cash. This will require entities to show the changes in the total cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. These changes become effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. We are currently evaluating the impact ASU 2016-18 will have on our consolidated financial statements.

In August 2016 the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) – Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. This provides guidance on presentation and classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows. These changes become effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. We are currently evaluating the impact ASU 2016-15 will have on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB isued ASU 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718). The ASU simplifies certain aspects related to income taxes, statement of cash flows, and forfeitures when accounting for share-based payment transactions. The ASU became effective for the annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with earlier adoption permitted. Certain of the amendments related to timing of the recognition of tax benefits and tax withholding requirements should be applied using a modified retrospective transition method. Amendments related to the presentation of the statement of cash flows should be applied retrospectively. These changes did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

(Expressed in US dollars)

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 842, Leases through ASU No. 2016-02. ASC Topic 842 requires a lessee to recognize all leases, including operating leases, on balance sheet via a right-of-use asset and lease liability, unless the lease is a short-term lease. All (or a portion of) fixed payments by the lessee to cover lessor costs related to ownership of the underlying assets, or executory costs, that do not represent payments for a good or service will be considered lease payments and reflected in the measurement of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees. The new standard does not substantially change lessor accounting from current U.S. GAAP. The new standard also requires lessees and lessors to disclose more qualitative and quantitative information about their leases than current U.S. GAAP does. The standard is applied retrospectively, with elective reliefs. The new standard is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018 for a public business entity. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact ASU 2016-02 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

4 - ACCOUNTING FOR UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS

The Company recognizes any interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest and penalties in income tax benefit in the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss.

Stock options are granted with an exercise price equal to the common share’s fair market value at the date of grant. Options are granted periodically, and both the maximum term of an option and the vesting period are set at the Board's discretion. All options granted in fiscal year 2018 vested on the day of the grant and have a three-year term. The expected life of the grants due to forfeitures and exercise of options is estimated based on recent history and is 3 years.

15 - INCOME TAXES

The Company recognizes in its consolidated financial statements the impact of a tax position if that position is more likely than not of not being sustained on an audit, based on the technical merits of the position.

The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in Canadian, Brazilian and U.S. federal jurisdictions, and various provincial jurisdictions. The Company’s federal income tax returns are generally subject to examination for a period of three years after filing of the respective return in the U.S. and Canada and five years in Brazil.

Income tax expense varies from the amount that would be computed by applying the basic federal and provincial income tax rates to loss before taxes, as follows:

	Year ended March 31, 2018			Year ended March 31, 2017			Year ended March 31, 2016
		$			$			$
Tax Rate, comprised of a federal rate of 11.00% and a provincial rate of 4.13%		15.13	%		15.50	%		15.50	%

Expected Canadian Income Tax (Recovery)		(4,136	)		(10,764	)		(48,287	)
Change in valuation allowance		(102,732	)		107,243			25,102

Permanent differences		(3,702	)		6,940			21,958
Change in tax rates		110,694			(75,293	)		—
Difference between Canadian and foreign tax rates		(12,690	)		(6,221	)		(6,326	)

Other		12,566			(21,905	)		7,701
		—			—			148

The change in valuation allowance for originating temporary differences and losses available for carry forward, is calculated using an expected deferred tax rate of 15.13%, based on the application of the Small Business Deduction. The rate at which such amounts may be realized as disclosed as part of a deferred tax asset and related valuation allowance takes into account the enacted tax rate decreases over the expected period of realization.

Refundable investment tax credits for research and development in Canada of $124,234, $171,457 and $305,708, and for the years ended March 31, 2018, March 31, 2017 and March 31, 2016, respectively is netted against research and development expense. The investment tax credits are subject to review and approval by taxation authorities and it is possible that the amounts granted will be different from the amounts recorded by the Company.

16 - LOSS PER SHARE

For the purposes of the loss per share computation, the weighted average number of common shares outstanding has been used.

The number of common shares for the prior years have been adjusted to reflect the impact of the share consolidation. The basic and diluted loss per share have been adjusted to reflect the impact of the share consolidation, on the basis of one post-consolidation common share for every twenty pre-consolidation common shares, which was accounted for as a reverse stock split effective on January 19, 2017.

The following securities are considered "in the money" and could potentially dilute the basic earnings per share in the future but have not been included in diluted earnings per share because their effect was negligible or antidilutive:

Total post-consolidation options outstanding at March 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016 were 204,150, 225,500, and 462,105 respectively.

17 - FINANCIAL RISKS

FOREIGN EXCHANGE RISK

The Company operates internationally, giving rise to significant exposure to market risks from changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company’s financial assets are in the form of cash and cash equivalents held at institutions with high quality credit ratings. A hypothetical 10% change in the value of one Brazilian real expressed in U.S. dollars during the year ended March 31, 2018 would have caused an approximate $21,830 change in the Company’s revenue for the fiscal year 2018. The Company is exposed to exchange risk due to the timing of the movement of funds between subsidiaries and the parent company related to the transfer pricing agreement and the pricing of contracts in non-functional currencies. Financial instruments denominated in foreign currencies that lead to foreign exchange risk when funds are moved include:

	March 31, 2018		March 31, 2017

Canadian dollars		210,939		231,785
US dollars		42,374		78,366
Brazilian reals		704,236		523,305

Accounts receivable include the following amounts receivable in their source currency:

	March 31, 2018		March 31, 2017

Canadian dollars		13,396		86,759
US dollars		210		—

	March 31, 2018		March 31, 2017

Canadian dollars		14,992	41,674
Brazilian reals		24,567	33,333

The Company does not use derivative financial instruments to reduce its foreign exchange risk exposure.

CREDIT RISK

The Company is exposed to credit-related losses in the event of non-performance by counterparties to financial instruments. Credit exposure is minimized by dealing with only creditworthy counterparties in accordance with established credit approval policies.

Concentration of credit risk in accounts receivable is indicated below by the percentage of the total balance receivable from customers in the specified geographic area:

One customer accounted for approximately 21% for the year ended March 31, 2016, one customer accounted for approximately 28% of revenue for the year ended March 31, 2017 and one customer accounted for approximately 22% of revenue for the year ended March 31, 2018.

Canada		27	%		80	%
North America, excluding Canada		1	%		—	%
South America		72	%		20	%

The carrying values of accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value due to the relatively short periods to maturity of the instruments.

20 - SEGMENT REPORTING

The Company operates in two reportable segments based on product differentiation: mobile and enterprise software. Mobile applications involve providing SMS and other content applications and services for mobile devices. Enterprise software involves providing enterprise software for designing, developing and manipulating database systems and applications.

The Company considers all revenues and expenses to be of an operating nature and accordingly, allocates them to the segments. Costs specific to a segment are charged directly to the segment. Company operating expenses are allocated to either of the segments based on gross revenues. Significant assets of the Company include working capital, an investment and property and equipment. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in the summary of the significant accounting policies.
