DEFSEC Technologies (DFSC) boosts Q3 2026 revenue 92% amid going concern risks

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

DEFSEC Technologies Inc. reported sharply higher revenue but continued losses for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2026. Revenue rose to $2.7 million in the quarter and $6.1 million year-to-date, increases of 92% and 72% versus 2025, driven mainly by growth in higher-margin digitization services for Canadian defence programs. Gross profit improved to $0.9 million for the quarter with gross margin of 33.1%.

Operating expenses grew to $3.5 million in the quarter and $8.5 million year-to-date, reflecting higher personnel costs, R&D investment in DEFSEC Lightning™, BLISS™ and PARA SHOT™, and a $480,453 stock-based compensation charge from new option grants. Net loss was $2.6 million for the quarter and $6.7 million for nine months, with Adjusted EBITDA loss of $5.6 million year-to-date. Cash and cash equivalents declined to $3.5 million, working capital was $3.7 million, and accumulated deficit reached $59.0 million. Management explicitly highlights material risks and uncertainties that cast substantial doubt on the company’s ability to continue as a going concern, and notes reliance on additional orders, successful product launches and further debt or equity financing, including recent private placements issuing 1.24 million new shares and 1.33 million warrants in December 2025 and June 2026.

Positive

• Revenue growth: Total revenue increased 72% year-to-date to $6.1 million, with Q3 revenue up 92% to $2.7 million, driven mainly by digitization services for Canadian defence programs.
• Improved gross profit: Gross profit rose to $0.9 million in Q3 and $1.9 million year-to-date, with Q3 gross margin improving to 33.1% from 28.2%, reflecting contribution from higher-margin roles.
• Growing contracted services base: Government services program billings on an annualized go-forward basis reached approximately $9.4 million based on 43 resources assigned, indicating a larger recurring services platform.
• New product commercialization: Commercial release of DEFSEC Lightning™ 2.0 and ARWEN® 40mm baton ammunition in full-rate production expands the product portfolio and supports future recurring and product revenue opportunities.

Negative

• Going concern risk: Management discloses material risks and uncertainties that cast substantial doubt on the company’s ability to continue as a going concern, highlighting dependence on new sales and additional financing.
• Continuing losses and cash burn: Year-to-date net loss was $6.7 million with negative operating cash flows of $6.4 million, reducing cash and cash equivalents to $3.5 million and working capital to $3.7 million.
• Equity dilution and warrant overhang: Common shares outstanding increased to 2,666,632 and there are 21,007,716 warrants exercisable into 2,595,779 shares, which could be dilutive if exercised.
• Rising operating costs: Total operating expenses increased to $8.5 million year-to-date, up 13%, including higher G&A, R&D and a one-time $480,453 share-based compensation charge, limiting progress toward profitability.

Filing Explained

At June 30, 2026, 2,666,632 shares were issued and warrants could add 2,595,779 more, while cash and investments were CAD 3,529,667.

As a Form 6-K, this filing furnishes DEFSEC Technologies Inc.’s interim financial information; its current state is reporting, not announcing a new financing, and at June 30, 2026, the company had 2,666,632 issued common shares and warrants exercisable into 2,595,779 additional common shares.

The additional warrant shares are not included in the issued-share balance. If issued, they would increase the total share count and reduce existing holders’ percentage ownership absent offsetting changes.

The June 26 financing is complete: the company issued 673,006 shares at CAD 3.74 each for gross proceeds of CAD 2.5 million, alongside 673,006 investor warrants and 50,475 broker warrants.

The financing shares are already outstanding, while the related warrants are exercisable securities; exercise would therefore create further potential dilution rather than represent shares already issued.

At June 30, 2026, cash and investments totaled CAD 3,529,667 against CAD 6,614,980 of contractual obligations, including CAD 3,142,555 due within one year.

For monitoring, the filing reports that a Nasdaq rule change announced after quarter-end was stayed on July 29, 2026; the filing says the stay could change and the rule’s merits remain unresolved.

6 terms

going concern financial

"there are material risks and uncertainties that may cast substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern"

Going concern is the accounting assumption that a company will keep operating and meeting its obligations for the foreseeable future. The phrase matters most when a company or its auditors disclose substantial doubt about it, a formal warning that the business may not have enough resources to continue without raising money, restructuring, or selling assets. That language in a filing or press release signals elevated financial risk.

Adjusted EBITDA financial

"EBITDA that has been adjusted for the removal of share-based compensation, foreign exchange loss (gain), change in fair value of derivative liabilities"

Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.

Industrial and Technological Benefits regulatory

"shall meet certain Industrial and Technological Benefits ("ITBs") targets as a condition for fulfilling the obligations in the contract"

Advantages that come from improvements in how things are made or the technologies used — for example, faster production, lower costs, better product features, or new capabilities. Investors care because these gains can boost a company’s profits, make its products more competitive, and reduce risks from disruption; think of it like swapping an old, slow saw for a modern power tool that lets a workshop produce more, cheaper, and with fewer mistakes.

low-rate initial production technical

"We are in the low-rate initial production ("LRIP") phase for the .67 caliber single shot devices and cartridges"

Low-rate initial production is a controlled, small-scale manufacturing run used to build a limited number of units to validate production processes, supply chains, and product performance before committing to full-scale output. For investors, it signals that a product has moved beyond development toward commercialization but will generate only modest near-term revenue while reducing technical and manufacturing risk—think of it as a rehearsal before opening the factory doors wide.

Team Awareness Kit technical

"Team Awareness Kit, which is a United States government developed geospatial software suite providing real-time situational awareness"

share-based compensation financial

"For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2026, the Company recorded share-based compensation of $480,453"

Share-based compensation is when a company pays employees, executives or directors with its own stock or rights to buy stock instead of, or in addition to, cash. Think of it like receiving store gift cards instead of extra paycheck — it can motivate staff to boost the company’s value, but it also increases the number of shares outstanding and can shrink each existing owner’s slice of profits and voting power. Investors watch it because it affects reported earnings, share count and the alignment between management and shareholders.

1. Corporate information

DEFSEC Technologies Inc. (the "Company", "DEFSEC") was incorporated on November 28, 2017, under the laws of the Province of British Columbia. The registered office is located at 550 Burrard Street, Suite 2900, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, and the corporate office is located at Suite 300, 80 Hines Rd., Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.

The Company develops and commercializes next-generation technology solutions that deliver a tactical advantage for military, public safety agencies and personal defense markets.  The Company's core mission is to protect and save lives.

DEFSEC's common stock is listed on the TSX-Venture Exchange ("TSX-V'') under the stock symbol of DFSC, on the Nasdaq Capital Market ("Nasdaq") under the stock symbol of DFSC and on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the stock symbol of 62U2. Additionally, warrants issued in the United States are also listed on the Nasdaq under the stock symbol of DFSCW. Effective May 1, 2023, the warrants issued in Canada are listed on the TSX-V under the stock symbol of DFSC.WT.U.

(a) 2025 Reverse Stock Split (applied retrospectively)

On April 23, 2025, on Nasdaq, and on April 24, 2025, on the TSX-V, DEFSEC effected 21-for-1 reverse stock split of its common stock (the "2025 Reverse Split"). Accordingly, all shareholders of record at the opening of business on April 23, 2025, received one issued and outstanding common share of DEFSEC in exchange for twenty-one outstanding common shares of DEFSEC. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the 2025 Reverse Split. All fractional shares created by the 2025 Reverse Split were rounded to the nearest whole number of common shares, with any fractional interest representing 0.5 or more common shares entitling holders thereof to receive one whole common share.

Effective on the date of the 2025 Reverse Split, the exercise price and number of common shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants were proportionately adjusted to reflect the 2025 Reverse Split. All information respecting outstanding common shares, including net loss per share, in the current and comparative periods presented herein give effect to the 2025 Reverse Split.

2. Basis of preparation

(a) Going concern

These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The going concern basis of presentation assumes the Company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and can realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.

As an early-stage company, it has not yet reached significant revenue levels for most of its products and has incurred significant losses and negative operating cash flows from inception that have primarily been funded from financing activities.  The Company has incurred a $6.7 million net loss and negative operating cash flows of $6.4 million in the nine month period ended June 30, 2026 (2025 - $7.2 million net loss and negative operating cash flows of $6.6 million). At June 30, 2026, the Company had $3.7 million in working capital (September 30, 2025 - $6.0 million) and $59.0 million in accumulated deficit (September 30, 2025 - $52.3 million).

The Company's ability to continue as a going concern and realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business is dependent upon closing timely additional sales orders, timely commercial launch of new products, and the ability to raise additional debt or equity financing, when required. There are various risks and uncertainties affecting our future financial position and our performance including, but not limited to:

• The market acceptance and rate of sales of the Company's product offerings;

7

DEFSEC TECHNOLOGIES INC.
Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
Three and nine months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025
(Expressed in Canadian dollars)

• The Company's ability to grow its digitization services business;
• Its ability to successfully execute the Company's business plan;
• Its ability to raise additional capital at acceptable terms;
• General local and global economic conditions, including the ongoing conflict in Gaza and the global disruptions from Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the United States Conflict with Iran; and
• Risks related to United States tariffs, including potential supply chain disruptions, required operational adjustments, increased costs and potential logistical disruptions.

The Company's strategy to mitigate these material risks and uncertainties is to execute a business plan, in a timely manner, aimed at continued focus on revenue growth, product development and innovation, improving overall gross profit, managing operating expenses and working capital requirements, and securing additional capital, as needed.

Failure to implement its business plan could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and/or financial performance. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to raise additional capital as required in the future. Accordingly, there are material risks and uncertainties that may cast substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include any adjustments to the carrying amounts and classification of assets, liabilities and reported expenses that may otherwise be required if the going concern basis was not appropriate.

(b) Statement of compliance

These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting, ("IAS 34") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and the interpretations of the IFRS Interpretations Committee.  They do not include all the information required for a complete set of financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS^® Accounting Standards ("IFRS") and should be read in conjunction with our Annual Audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the years ended September 30, 2025, 2024 and 2023 (the "Annual Financial Statements"). However, selected explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are material to an understanding of the changes in our financial position and performance since the last Annual Financial Statements.

These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on August 12, 2026.

(c) Basis of consolidation

These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements incorporate the financial statements of DEFSEC and the entities it controls.

Control is achieved where we have the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities, are exposed to, or have rights to, variable returns from our involvement with the entity and have the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to us until the date on which control ceases. Profit or loss of subsidiaries acquired during the period are recognized from the date of acquisition or effective date of disposal as applicable. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

DEFSEC TECHNOLOGIES INC.
Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
Three and nine months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025
(Expressed in Canadian dollars)

At June 30, 2026, the Company has the following wholly-owned subsidiaries, which is unchanged from September 30, 2025:

Entity	Location	Functional Currency	Equity %
KWESST Inc.	Ottawa, Canada	CAD	100%
2720178 Ontario Inc.	Ottawa, Canada	CAD	100%
Police Ordnance Company Inc.	Ottawa, Canada	CAD	100%

KWESST Public Safety Systems U.S. Inc.	North Carolina, United States	USD	100%
KWESST Public Safety Systems Canada Inc.	Ottawa, Canada	CAD	100%

(d) Functional and presentation currency

The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars ("CAD"), which is the functional and presentation currency.

While each of the Company's subsidiaries has its own functional currency, the functional currency of the parent company, DEFSEC, is CAD as this is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates. Most of the revenues, cost of sales and operating expenses from significant subsidiaries are denominated in CAD.  The Company's Canadian wholly owned subsidiaries are measured using CAD as the functional currency and its U.S. wholly owned subsidiaries are measured using the United States dollar ("USD") as their functional currency.

(e) Basis of measurement

The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments measured at fair value. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets.

(f) Use of estimates and judgments

The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates, and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income, expenses, and disclosure of contingent liabilities.  Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to estimates are recognized prospectively.

Judgments

Information about judgments made in applying accounting policies that have the most material effects on the amounts recognized in these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements are the same as disclosed in Note 2(f) of the Annual Financial Statements.

Estimates

Information about assumptions and estimation uncertainties at June 30, 2026 that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the next financial year are the same as disclosed in Note 2(f) of the Annual Financial Statements.

(g) Changes to standards and interpretations

IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements

The IASB issued IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements on April 9, 2024, to replace IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements and is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027. IFRS 18 introduces a defined structure for the presentation of the statement of income, including required totals and subtotals, as well as aggregating and disaggregating principles to categorize financial information. The standard also requires all Management-defined performance measures to be disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this new standard.

In May 2024, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments.  These amendments clarify the date of recognition and derecognition of some financial assets and liabilities, with a new exception for some financial liabilities settled through an electronic cash transfer system; add new disclosures for certain instruments with contractual terms that can change cash flows (such as some instruments with features linked to the achievement of environment, social and governance targets); and update the disclosures for equity instruments designated at fair value through other comprehensive income.  These amendments apply to annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026.  The Company is currently assessing the impact of these amendments on its consolidated financial statements.

During the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2026, the accounting policies in these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements are the same as those applied in the Annual Financial Statements.

13. Financial instruments

For the nine months ended June 30, 2026, there were no material changes to our financial risks as disclosed in Note 22 of the Annual Financial Statements, except for the following:

Foreign currency risk

A portion of the Company's revenue and operating costs are realized in currencies other than its functional currency, primarily USD.  The Company has entered into financing transactions in the past that were denominated in USD or allowed for the settlement in USD.  As a result, the Company is exposed to currency risk on these transactions.  Further, additional earnings volatility arises from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the rate of exchange on each date of the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Statements of Financial Position; the impact of which is reported as a foreign exchange gain or loss on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Statements of Net Loss and Comprehensive Loss.  The Company's objective in managing currency risk is to minimize the exposure to currencies other than our functional currency. The Company does so by matching foreign denominated assets with foreign denominated liabilities where possible. Currently, we do not use derivative instruments to hedge the U.S. dollar exposure.

DEFSEC TECHNOLOGIES INC.
Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
Three and nine months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025
(Expressed in Canadian dollars)

At June 30, 2026, we had the following net U.S. dollar exposure:

		June 30, 2026			September 30, 2025

Assets	$	671,725		$	4,627,168
Liabilities		(4,416	)		(218,577	)
Net USD exposure	$	667,309		$	4,408,591
Impact to loss if 5% movement in USD	$	33,365		$	220,430

During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2026, we recorded a foreign exchange gain of $34,889 and a loss of $13,301 respectively (2025 - loss of $258,856 and $67,750).

Liquidity risk

At June 30, 2026, our contractual obligations were as follows:

Payment due:		Total			Within 1 year			1 to 3 years			3 to 5 years			5 years and beyond
Minimum royalty commitments	$	1,800,000		$	250,000		$	550,000		$	650,000		$	350,000
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities		2,688,845			2,688,845			-			-			-
Lease obligations		2,126,135			203,710			407,420			409,187			1,105,818
Total contractual obligations	$	6,614,980		$	3,142,555		$	957,420		$	1,059,187		$	1,455,818

At June 30, 2026, the Company had $3.5 million in cash and $3.7 million in working capital (current assets less current liabilities).

In the second quarter of Fiscal 2026 the Company confirmed with the counter party that the minimum royalty under the LEC agreement are owed on the anniversary of the effective date of that agreement, being January 15^th of each year, and shall be paid no later than 45 days after that date.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to DEFSEC if a counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations.  The Company's credit risk exposure is limited to cash, and trade and other receivables. The Company enters into contracts with either large, financially sound global general contractors or law enforcement agencies, which mitigates the credit risk.

As described in Note 2(h) of the Annual Financial Statements, the Company has applied the simplified approach to recognize the lifetime expected credit losses.  After assessing the quality of the receivables, management has concluded that the expected credit loss on all outstanding receivables is $nil.  Accordingly, no loss allowance has been recognized at the reporting date (2025: $nil).

15. Commitments and contingencies

The Company, under its LC4ISR Sub-Tier Subcontract, shall meet certain Industrial and Technological Benefits ("ITBs") targets as a condition for fulfilling the obligations in the contract. Such requirements are part of Canada's effort to promote economic development and increased competitiveness of the defence sector and develop, grow and sustain a diverse, talented, and innovative Canadian workforce. Under the obligations, DEFSEC will spend 100% of the contract-value as Supplier Development in Canada, specifically involving Small and Medium Business (employing fewer than 250 full-time personnel), and spend 20% of the contract value as transactions involving Skills Development and Training in the areas of Defence Systems Integration, Artificial Intelligence, Cyber Resilience, or In-Service Support. As all work under the contract is being executed in Canada by the Company, 100% of the Small and Medium Business requirement is expected to be met. Achievement of the Company's Skills Development and Training requirement is expected to be met by transactions related to Senior Integrated Logistics Support Specialist ("ILS") related roles filled under its taskings, as these have been deemed by Canada to be eligible, and DEFSEC currently has seven (7) such roles of its total 25 under current taskings.  While these roles are expected to fulfill the Company's obligations over the achievement period, any penalty by way of liquidated damages, is limited in its financial impact to a maximum of 20% of the shortfall (up to 4% of total contract value). Further mitigating any potential shortfall is the ability to achieve a five (5) times multiplier for any contribution to Skills Development and Training for Indigenous Peoples or majority Indigenous-controlled educational or training facilities.  Based on the billings to date, the Company may have an ITB obligation of $385,000 with a maximum penalty of $77,000.  Management believes it will meet the required targets within the specified timeframes.  Accordingly, no liability has been recorded in these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements related to this commitment.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Three and nine months ended June 30, 2026

(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

DEFSEC TECHNOLOGIES INC.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2026

All references in this management's discussion and analysis (the "MD&A") to "DEFSEC", "we", "us", "our", and the "Company" refer to DEFSEC Technologies Inc. and its subsidiaries as at June 30, 2026. This MD&A has been prepared with an effective date of August 12, 2026.

This MD&A should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 ("Q3 Fiscal 2026 FS") and the annual audited consolidated financial statements and related notes for the years ended September 30, 2025, 2024 and 2023 ("Fiscal 2025 FS"). The financial information presented in this MD&A is derived from these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS® Accounting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"). This MD&A contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including statements regarding anticipated developments in future financial periods and our future plans and objectives. There can be no assurance that such information will prove to be accurate, and readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. See "Forward-Looking Statements".

All references to "$" or "dollar" amounts in this MD&A are to Canadian currency unless otherwise indicated.

Additional information, including press releases, relating to DEFSEC is available to view on SEDAR+ at http://www.sedarplus.ca/ and EDGAR (https://www.sec.gov).

NON-IFRS MEASURES

In this MD&A, we have presented earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") and EBITDA that has been adjusted for the removal of share-based compensation, foreign exchange loss (gain), change in fair value of derivative liabilities, and any one-time, irregular and nonrecurring items ("Adjusted EBITDA") to provide readers with a supplemental measure of our operating performance and thus highlight trends in our core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS financial measures.

Management also references "program billings on an annualized go-forward basis" and "annualized gross margin contribution" which refers to programmatic revenue and gross margin based on the roles staffed for a full year at the program billing rate. Management believes these are useful measures because it reflects management's estimate of annualized revenues and gross margin contributions based on current contractual taskings as of the date referenced.  The most directly comparable financial measure that is disclosed in the financial statements of the Company to which the non-IFRS measure relates is revenue and gross margin respectively.

Management uses non-IFRS measures, in addition to IFRS financial measures, to understand and compare operating results across accounting periods, for financial and operational decision making, for planning and forecasting purposes, and to evaluate our financial performance. We believe that these non-IFRS financial measures enable us to identify underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be hidden by the effect of certain expenses that we exclude in the calculations of the non-IFRS financial measures.

Accordingly, we believe that these non-IFRS financial measures reflect our ongoing business in a manner that allows for meaningful comparisons and analysis in the business and provides useful information to investors and securities analysts, and other interested parties in understanding and evaluating our operating results, enhancing their overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects.

We caution readers that these non-IFRS financial measures do not replace the presentation of our IFRS financial results and should only be used as a supplement to, not as a substitute for, our financial results presented in accordance with IFRS. There are limitations in the use of non-IFRS measures because they do not include all the expenses that must be included under IFRS as well as they involve the exercise of judgment concerning exclusions of items from the comparable non-IFRS financial measure. Furthermore, other peers may use other non-IFRS measures to evaluate their performance, or may calculate non-IFRS measures differently, all of which could reduce the usefulness of our non-IFRS financial measures as tools for comparison.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2026

GOING CONCERN

As an early-stage company, we have not yet reached significant revenue levels for most of our products and services and have incurred significant losses and negative operating cash flows from inception that have primarily been funded from financing activities.  DEFSEC's unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements for Q3 Fiscal 2026 have been prepared on the "going concern" basis which presumes that DEFSEC will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future.  Our ability to continue as a going concern and realize our assets and discharge our liabilities in the normal course of business is dependent upon closing timely additional sales orders, timely commercial launch of new products, and the ability to raise additional debt or equity financing, when required. There are various risks and uncertainties affecting our future financial position and our performance.  Accordingly, there are material risks and uncertainties that may cast substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.  Refer to Note 2(a) of the Q3 Fiscal 2026 FS for further information.

TRADEMARKS

We own or have rights to various trademarks, service marks and trade names that we use in connection with the operation of our business.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2026

DEFSEC's Public Safety offerings are comprised of:

• DEFSEC Lightning™:  A cloud-hosted software that enables rapid incident responses with quick onboarding for inter-agency collaboration and real-time encrypted communication (text, voice, photo/video).  It leverages the Company's military digitization technology experience to provide responders to any type of incident with instant onboarding to the mission and TAK-enabled real-time situational awareness software as a service ("SaaS").  "TAK-enabled" refers to integration with the Team Awareness Kit, which is a United States government developed geospatial software suite providing real-time situational awareness for military, security and public safety teams.  The DEFSEC Lightning™ 2.0, which was commercially released on May 6, 2026, is the next iteration of the Company's cloud-based platform using patent-pending technology to further develop the user experience including TAK and standard Lightning™ features such as:
  • Proprietary plug-in tools relevant to law enforcement, including ground search and rescue tools ("GSAR"), TAK enabled sniper and surveillance tools ("T-SAS™");
  • Native Cloud-based Microsoft environment (MS Azure);
  • Seamless INTEGRATION and FUSION of crucial real-time position location, imagery, and targeted time-sensitive emergency services data and information for effective and coordinated delivery of emergency services;
  • Opt-in geo-fencing with unique call-out feature that enables rapid response to a critical incident, which ensures privacy for all users; and
  • Supports stakeholders from Emergency Operations Centers ("EOC"), Incident Command Post ("ICP"), Incident Commanders, and all first responders whether mobile or dismounted.

The Company is presently pursuing trials and pilots of the product as it continues to evolve the product throughout Fiscal 2026. One Canadian police agency subscribed ahead of full release, and the Company continues to demonstrate the system to other agencies it has relationships with.

• Less-Lethal Munitions Systems: DEFSEC proprietary less-lethal munitions systems including launchers and various payloads to bring dangerous incidents to a safe conclusion.

• PARA SHOT™, a next-generation system designed to be less-lethal.
• ARWEN^® 37mm system, plus a new 40mm munition and new live action training adapters and marking cartridges in 37mm and 40mm for realistic scenario training leveraging the PARA SHOT™ Low Energy Cartridge ("LEC") technology.

DEFSEC's Dual Use and Military offerings are comprised of:

• Digitization services to enhance mission readiness and situational awareness for military forces including through task-order based software solutions;
• Tactical Advanced System For Command And Control ("TASCS"), Indirect Fire Modules System ("TASCS IFM") and TASCS Networked Observation and Reconnaissance System ("TASCS NORS").  These are specialized, digitized and modular technology designed to enhance the effectiveness of indirect fire weapons such as mortars and rocket launchers.  These systems allow for enhanced precision, situational awareness and digitization of less intelligent legacy systems;
• T-SAS™ solution enabling real-time situational awareness for tactical operators engaged in fast-paced front-line operations;
• DEFSEC Lightning™ 2.0 SaaS, as described above, has a dual use for not only the public safety market but for military customers that use TAK, particularly the Canadian and United States militaries;

• The dual-use Battlespace Laser Identification Sensor System ("BLISS™") (an earlier version being named BLDS) providing real-time alerts on presence, location and type of laser threats, and enabling future capabilities such as automated threat classification and coordinated response will support both vehicle-mounted and personnel-worn applications; and
• Phantom™ Tactical Multi-Function Electro-Magnetic Spectrum Operations (EMSO) system and Electronic Warfare device.  Development and patent applications have been paused as we determine the best method to bring this product to market.

Strategy

Our strategy is to pursue and win large task-order based software development and digitization defence contracts for multi-year revenue visibility with prime, or large second tier, defence contractors, with a particular focus on command and control situational awareness (including TAK) applications that can also be leveraged to address similar requirements in the Public Safety Market.  In the Public Safety market, these efforts are complemented by activities relating to our proprietary ARWEN^® and PARA SHOT™ less-lethal products, where it is possible to drive related sales with combined selling efforts and where the sales cycle is typically shorter than the more programmatic defence market.

Principal Products and Services

The following is a summary of our main product and service categories for each business line:

Less-Lethal		Digitization		Counter-Threat
PARA SHOT™ products: Non-reciprocating devices: A single-shot device A five-shot device 12-gauge shotgun (planning stage; not yet industrialized) Reciprocating devices (Planning stage, not yet commercially available) Replica pistol AR style rifle Cartridge Blunt / training Inert marking powder Irritant powder ARWEN® products: Single shot 37mm launcher Multi-round 37mm launcher Baton blunt impact 37mm and 40mm 37mm chemical, irritant, and barricade-penetrating rounds PARA SHOT™ training adapter for ARWEN® Platform		Products: • TASCS IFM TASCS NORS • New T-SAS™ Services: • Android Team Awareness Kit ("ATAK") Centre of Excellence • DEFSEC Lightning™ 2.0 SaaS for Critical Incident Management System • Task-order based software services on long-term government defence contracts		Products: • BLISS™ • Phantom™ Electronic Warfare device

Less-Lethal Products

Non-reciprocating PARA SHOT™ devices

We are in the low-rate initial production ("LRIP") phase for the .67 caliber single shot devices and cartridges. and are in the transition to a higher volume production phase for these products during Fiscal 2026 to meet anticipated demand. Both will be offered first to the professional user market (public safety and security) where demonstrations and evaluations are underway.  We also intend to offer these devices and cartridges to the personal safety market in accordance with applicable rules and regulations.  In the United States, this entails classification with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms ("ATF").  If the launchers are classified as a firearm, it is possible that a reduction in the caliber may be required in order to obtain the appropriate classification (as not a "destructive device" i.e. under .50 caliber) to reduce the barriers to sell to the personal safety market.  This would also require testing and evaluation to determine whether a reduced caliber version would operate effectively as intended. The Company has not yet done such testing.  This would entail moderate investment in tooling to resize the launchers and cartridges accordingly. The Company has already completed prototypes in .49 caliber should they be required.  In June 2025 we submitted for a ruling, with the initial ruling being returned to us in November 2025.  The ATF did not rule on destructive device classification.  The Company will continue to seek clarity on this.  In the meantime, we continue to self-classify as a destructive device until otherwise advised on the classification with the ATF.

We offer three types of payloads for projectiles based on customer needs:

• solid slug for training practice;
• inert colored powder for practice or realistic close quarters combat simulation; and
• incapacitating irritant pepper powder for operational use.

Reciprocating PARA SHOT™ devices

We have a plan to prototype PARA SHOT™ as a high-capacity automatic pistol and carbine (referred to as reciprocating devices) for less-lethal operations and force-on-force training, along with a reciprocating PARA SHOT™ cartridge. The start of this project has yet to be determined as we have prioritized the roll-out of PARA SHOT™ for the professional user market.

See below for further details of our projected product development cycle and estimated additional investment to reach full commercialization for our PARA SHOT™ devices.

ARWEN^® launchers

We are currently selling the following ARWEN^® products and related ammunition to law enforcement agencies throughout North America:

Digitization

For the Digitization business line, our products and services share the same core technology platforms and leverage our domain knowledge, proprietary sensor-software integration, proprietary algorithms and electronic circuitry expertise in order to develop and deliver integrated shared situational awareness solutions to our clients who operate in the primarily dismounted domain (i.e., away from supporting platforms such as aircraft and vehicles, including armored vehicles):

• TAK is a United States Government-owned situational awareness software ecosystem that operates on Android end-user devices and is distributed in multiple variants, including Military TAK ("MilTAK") and Civilian TAK ("CivTAK"). MilTAK is designed for U.S. and allied defence partners and is subject to controlled distribution, while CivTAK is more broadly accessible to public safety and civilian organizations. Based on our observation, TAK-across its variants-is becoming the de facto standard for software-based situational awareness in the United States, Canada, and several other North Atlantic Treaty Organization ("NATO") countries. Although the core TAK software is United States government-owned and generally available at no cost within its respective distribution channels, developing mission-specific plug-ins, enabling interoperability between MilTAK and CivTAK environments, and implementing secure tactical networking solutions remain beyond the capacity of most user organizations. We offer the experience and expertise required to support TAK deployment, integration, cross-domain interoperability, and secure network implementation for prospective clients.
• After successfully developing digital technologies for tactical military applications which provide real-time exchange of situational awareness, navigation, imagery, and operational information for soldiers on the ground, we saw opportunities to apply these digitization solutions to the public safety market. These solutions solve critical challenges for law enforcement, fire, emergency response, search and rescue, and natural disaster management, all of whom require networked situational awareness in real time to understand, decide, and act faster and more effectively in response to a critical incident. When responders are facing a public emergency, they need information quickly. In situations ranging from active shooter incidents to natural disasters, responders must have clear, real-time awareness of the environment they are entering and the location of available resources.  They also need to communicate and collaborate in real-time - across teams and information sources and often across departments.
• Leveraging our experience gained through our work in the civilian public safety market with our ARWEN^® line of public order products, DEFSEC has, as of May 6, 2026, commercially released DEFSEC Lightning™ 2.0 SaaS platform. Development of this platform was originally announced in October 2023.

• The DSEF (Directorate Land Command Systems Program Management Software Engineering Facility) program is a 5-year contract awarded to a joint venture to which DEFSEC is a party. The Land C4ISR (Land Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance) programs are a series of task-order based long-term contracts to modernize the Canadian Army's capabilities. Under the Land C4ISR program, DEFSEC is a subcontractor to Thales Canada, who is the major sub-prime contractor.  The Company will increase staffing, and related revenue, if future taskings are received.

(2) Includes field testing, prototype V2, Next Generation [Soldier Proof of Concept 8 ("SPOC8")] and BLISS™ Prototype.

(3) Low-Rate Initial Production ("LRIP"). Includes final product development, LRIP, and sales demonstration units. A product is not ready for pre-production until it reaches Technology Readiness Level ("TRL") of 5 to 6. Version 2 has been delivered to the customer for integration under this phase, SPOC 4 prototypes have been delivered to a North American customer for range-trials, Next Generation (SPOC 8) prototypes have been integrated and are undergoing testing and demonstration at DEFSEC, BLISS™ prototypes have been delivered for customer testing at U.S. Army Test Center.

(4) Awaiting customer validation and follow-on orders.

(5) Includes the cartridges for the devices.  Low-rate initial production timeline extended by one to two quarters in order to include product refinements. Higher volume production anticipated timelines could be longer if modifications are required as a result of the ATF confirmation of classification to reduce barriers to sales to the civilian personal safety market.

We consider a product to have reached the commercialization phase when we have begun LRIP and we have a sales, marketing, and distribution plan for the product.  Commercialization may precede a first sale of the product.

Major Highlights - Quarter ended June 30, 2026 ("Q3 Fiscal 2026")

The following is a summary of the major highlights that occurred during Q3 Fiscal 2026:

• On April 20, 2026, the Company announced that David Ibbetson, former General Manager of General Dynamics Mission Systems International ("GDMS-I") has joined DEFSEC's board of directors.  The Company also announced the departure of Paul Mangano from the board of directors. Mr. Ibbetson was also appointed as a member of the audit committee.

• On April 29, 2026, the Company confirmed that it had shipped two new networked BLISS™ systems to the United States Army Yuma Test Center (US Army YTC) for test and evaluation.

• On May 6, 2026, the Company announced the commercial release of its Lightning™ real-time situational awareness system for faster, coordinated response within and across responder agencies during critical incidents.

• On May 13, 2026, the Company announced the commercial release of its ARWEN^® 40mm baton ammunition, now in full-rate production, for use with third-party 40mm launchers.

• On June 24, 2026, the Company entered into definitive securities purchase agreements for the purchase and sale of 673,006 Common Shares at a purchase price of CAD$3.74 (US$2.63) per Common Share in the Registered Direct Offering. In the concurrent Private Placement, the Company issued the Investor Warrants to purchase up to 673,006 Common Shares at an exercise price of CAD$4.39 per Common Share that were immediately exercisable upon issuance and expire five years following the date of issuance and issued to the Placement Agent, or its designees, 50,475 Placement Agent's Warrants entitling the holders thereof to acquire one Common Share for a period of five years following the date of issuance at an exercise price of CAD$4.675 per Common Share. The closing of the offering occurred on June 26, 2026. .

The following is a summary of major highlights that occurred after June 30, 2026:

• On July 23, 2026, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Exchange") announced that it had approved the  modification of Nasdaq Rule 5810(c)(1), as of July 22, 2026, to add an additional type of deficiency that would result in an immediate delisting and suspension from trading on Nasdaq of a company's securities when the company fails to comply with the continued listing requirement for Minimum Value of Listed Securities ("MVLS") of at least US$5 million under Nasdaq Rules 5450(a)(3) or 5550(a)(6) for a period of 30 consecutive business days ("MVLS Requirement"). In addition, the Exchange amended Nasdaq Rule 5810(c)(3)(C) to provide that a company would not be entitled to any cure or compliance period if the company failed to comply with the MVLS Requirement and would immediately receive a Staff Delisting Determination. Subsequently, on July 29, 2026, the Deputy Secretary of the Exchange issued a letter to the Nasdaq advising that the order is stayed due to receipt of notices to petition for review of the delegated action.  The SEC has not yet ruled on the merits of the objections that are expected to be filed pursuant to the notices of intent to object that were filed giving rise to the stay; therefore the stay could be lifted, modified, or the rule otherwise ultimately upheld, narrowed, or vacated at any time and without significant advance notice.

Revenue

Total revenue increased by $1.3 million, or 92%, to $2.7 million in Q3 Fiscal 2026 compared to $1.4 million in Q3 Fiscal 2025. The increase was driven by a $1.3 million or 121% increase in digitization services revenue, along with a modest increase in Less-Lethal product and services revenue. The growth in digitization services reflects the 19 additional resources added over the last twelve months to fulfill the Company's Canadian government defence program subcontracts.

For the nine months ended June 30, 2026, total revenue increased by $2.6 million, or 72%, to $6.1 million compared to $3.6 million in the same period of Fiscal 2025. Digitization services again drove the increase.  The Less-Lethal products and services revenue declined $0.1 million (14%) year-to-date, primarily reflecting a lower volume of ARWEN^® launchers, related parts and ammunition sales.  ARWEN^® customers generally have long procurement cycles, which can cause revenue to fluctuate from period to period. Management expects that broadening the customer base may reduce, but will not eliminate, this variability, as customers generally place repeat orders once onboarded.

The Company's government services program billings on an annualized go-forward basis were approximately $9.4 million¹ based on the 43 resources assigned to these projects at June 30, 2026.  Management continues to work closely with industry partners and prime contractors in order to monitor the outlook for growth. The Company also expects revenue to increase with continued growth in the ARWEN^® business, driven by expected demand for the new 40mm ammunition, training adapters and PARA SHOT™ products. Management believes 40mm ammunition represents the largest segment of the less-lethal ammunition market, and certain customers that previously purchased competing products have transitioned to the Company's 40mm ammunition and placed initial orders.  The commercial launch of the DEFSEC Lightning™ 2.0 SaaS platform is expected to support the development of a recurring revenue stream and client base, enhancing the predictability of revenue within our product portfolio.  Management also expects the initial order of BLISS™ received in the prior year to result in requests for additional prototypes ultimately resulting in future revenue.

Gross Profit

In Q3 Fiscal 2026, gross profit was $0.9 million, or 33.1% of revenue, compared to gross profit of $0.4 million, or 28.2% of revenue, in Q3 Fiscal 2025. The 4.9% improvement in gross margin % was primarily due to the additions of higher margin roles on the Company's Canadian government defence programs.

For the nine months ended June 30, 2026, gross profit was $1.9 million, or 31.4% of revenue, compared to $1.1 million, or 31.3% of revenue, in the same period of Fiscal 2025. Gross profit increased $0.8 million on higher revenue, while gross margin was essentially flat year-over-year as the growing contribution from higher-margin digitization services was partially offset by a shift in product mix toward lower-margin training within the less-lethal portfolio.

Operating Expenses ("OPEX")

Total OPEX increased by $1.2 million when comparing Q3 Fiscal 2026 to Q3 Fiscal 2025 due to the following factors:

• G&A expenses increased by $0.7 million, or 60%, to $1.8 million in Q3 Fiscal 2026 and by $0.9 million, or 23%, to $4.6 million on a nine-month basis. In both periods the increase was driven primarily by higher personnel costs, reflecting additional headcount, including the appointment of a Chief Legal Officer, and adjustments in compensation to align with market. In the third quarter, these increases were partially offset by a $0.1 million reduction in professional fees as legal work was brought in-house;

• S&M expenses increased by $0.1 million or 18% to $0.4 million in Q3 Fiscal 2026 but decreased by $0.3 million to $1.1 million on a nine-month basis. The third-quarter increase reflects higher personnel and consulting fees, partially offset by lower investor relations and travel costs. The year-to-date decrease was driven primarily by lower personnel costs, together with lower investor relations spend;

• R&D expenses increased by $0.2 million or 55% to $0.6 million in Q3 Fiscal 2026 and increased by $0.5 million to $1.8 million on a nine-month basis. The increases in both periods were driven by higher R&D personnel costs, reflecting the addition of new personnel dedicated to the DEFSEC Lightning™ platform as well as continued investment in the development and commercialization of the BLISS™ and PARA SHOT™ products, partially offset by lower external consulting fees; and

• Share-based compensation increased by $0.5 million in Q3 Fiscal 2026 and increased by $0.4 million on a nine-month basis as a result of the stock option grant in May 2026 whereby half of the options vested immediately resulting in the immediate recognition of the related share-based compensation expense.

Other income (expenses), net

For the third quarter of Fiscal 2026, other income (expense) totaled a loss of less than $0.1 million, compared to a loss of $0.5 million in the third quarter of Fiscal 2025. The change was primarily attributable to losses recorded in the third quarter of 2025 related to foreign exchange and the remeasurement of warrant liabilities of $0.3 million and $0.2 million respectively.

For the nine-month period ended June 30, 2026 other income (expense) totaled a loss of less than $0.2 million, compared to a loss of $0.8 million in the same period of Fiscal 2025.  The change was primarily attributable to share issuance costs of $1.8 million recorded in 2025, which did not reoccur in Fiscal 2026.  This expense was partially offset by a gain on the remeasurement of warrant liabilities of $1.2 million in Fiscal 2025. In accordance with IFRS, warrant liabilities are required to be remeasured at fair value at each reporting date until exercise or expiry.  In the first nine months of Fiscal 2026 the primary driver is net financing costs, which are 11% higher than in Fiscal 2025.

Finally, during the second quarter of Fiscal 2026, the Company conducted a review of its fixed assets in use and determined that certain assets should be written off and disposed of, resulting in a loss on disposal of $0.1 million recorded during the quarter.  The majority of these assets were held at the Company's previous head office which was vacated at the end of the quarter and it was determined that these assets were not sufficiently beneficial to relocate.

Quarterly Results Trend Analysis

We experience some fluctuations within our quarterly revenue primarily related to the timing and fulfilment of orders for our less-lethal products.  Our digitization revenue has grown quarter over quarter as we ramp up service delivery on our Canadian government defence programs. In the second quarter we added 14 additional resources to one digitization project, which contributed positively to revenue this quarter as compared to previous quarters.  Our digitization revenue is subject to seasonal fluctuations, particularly in the first quarter of the year as there are fewer service delivery days in the month of December than during other months of the year.

Quarterly fluctuations in net loss were due to the timing of spending for certain research and development projects and the timing of trade shows and other sales and marketing program spend.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2026

Our working capital was $3.7 million at June 30, 2026, a $2.4 million decrease from September 30, 2025.  The decrease was primarily due to our use of cash to fund our operations offset by the December and June private placement financings which provided $2.1 million and $2.5 million in gross proceeds, respectively.  Current liabilities include warrant liabilities, a non-cash liability item (see Note 8(a) of the Q3 Fiscal 2026 FS). Excluding warrant liabilities, working capital would be $3.8 million.  These warrant liabilities will be extinguished when the warrants are exercised or expired. These warrants are set to expire between December 9, 2027, and August 9, 2029. If exercised, the proceeds would provide the Company with additional capital to fund future working capital requirements. There is no assurance that any warrants will be exercised.

Total assets decreased by $2.5 million from September 30, 2025, mainly due to a decrease in cash of $3.2 million to fund our development efforts for our various product lines that have yet to generate sales and the payment of accounts payable and accrued liabilities that were owing at September 30, 2025.

Total liabilities increased by $0.2 million from September 30, 2025, mainly due to an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $0.4 million due to the timing of payments to employees and suppliers and $0.1 million decrease in accrued royalties as a result of the annual payment being made in the second quarter.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Available Liquidity

Our approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, to the extent possible, that we always have sufficient liquidity to meet our liabilities as they come due.  We regularly perform cash flow forecasts to ensure that we have sufficient cash to meet our operational needs while maintaining sufficient liquidity.  At this time, we do not use any derivative financial instruments to hedge our currency risk.

On December 17, 2025, we entered into definitive agreements for the purchase and sale of 566,040 Common Shares at a purchase price of $3.64 (US$2.65) per Common Share in a registered direct offering.  In a concurrent private placement, we issued unregistered warrants to purchase up to 566,040 Common Shares at an exercise price of $4.27 per Common Share that are immediately exercisable upon issuance and expire five years following the date of issuance.  The closing of the offering occurred on December 18, 2025.  The net proceeds from this Offering are intended for working capital and general corporate purposes.  On February 10, 2026, these warrants were registered with the SEC.

On June 26, 2026, we entered into definitive agreements for the purchase and sale of 673,006 Common Shares at a purchase price of $3.74 (US$2.63) per Common Share in a registered direct offering.  In a concurrent private placement, we issued unregistered warrants to purchase up to 673,006 Common Shares at an exercise price of $4.39 per Common Share that are immediately exercisable upon issuance and expire five years following the date of issuance.  The closing of the offering occurred on June 26, 2026.  The net proceeds from this Offering are intended for working capital and general corporate purposes.  On August 3, 2026, these warrants were registered with the SEC.

At June 30, 2026, we held $3.5 million in cash, a decrease of $3.2 million since September 30, 2025, primarily due to funding our operations and partially offset by the financings entered into during the Fiscal year.  The Company also generated cash from the delivery of products and services as revenue grew $2.6 million when comparing the nine-month period ended June 30, 2026, with the same period last year.

As an early-stage company, we have not yet reached significant revenue levels for most of our products and have incurred significant losses and negative operating cash flows from inception that have primarily been funded from financing activities.  Our ability to continue as a going concern and realize our assets and discharge our liabilities in the normal course of business is dependent upon closing timely additional sales orders, timely commercial launch of new products, and the ability to raise additional debt or equity financing, when required.  There are various risks and uncertainties affecting our future financial position and our performance.  Accordingly, there are material risks and uncertainties that may cast substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.  Further, we may require additional capital in the event we fail to implement our business plan, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and/or financial performance.  There is no assurance that we will be able to raise additional capital as it is required in the future.  Potential sources of capital may include additional equity and/or debt financings.

DEFSEC TECHNOLOGIES INC.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2026

In our view, the availability of capital will be affected by, among other things, capital market conditions, the success of our PARA SHOT™ system, BLISS™ and DEFSEC Lightning™ market development efforts, timing of winning new customer contracts, potential acquisitions, and other relevant considerations.  In the event we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities, our existing shareholders will likely experience dilution, and any additional incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could require us to agree to operational and financial covenants that could further restrict our operations.  Any failure to raise additional funds on terms favorable to us or at all may require us to significantly change or curtail our current or planned operations in order to conserve cash until such time, if ever, that sufficient proceeds from operations are generated, and could result in us not being in a position to advance our commercialization strategy or take advantage of business opportunities.

Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows

The following table summarizes our consolidated statements of cash flows for the respective periods:

		Nine months ended June 30,
		2026			2025
Total cash provided by (used in):
Operating activities	$	(6,445,296	)	$	(6,583,042	)
Investing activities		(190,305	)		(146,850	)

Effect of exchange rates on cash		(1,131	)		-
Cash, end of period	$	3,482,167		$	2,543,211

Cash used in operating activities

Cash flow used in operating activities decreased by $0.1 million to $6.4 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2026, primarily due to share issuance costs related to warrant liabilities incurred in the prior year offset by the change in fair value of the existing warrant liabilities.

Cash used in investing activities

Cash flows used in investing activities for the nine months ended June 30, 2026, increased by less than $0.1 million compared to the same period in Fiscal 2025. Investing activities in both periods consisted of purchases of property and equipment.

Cash provided by financing activities

Cash flow provided by financing activities was $3.4 million in the first nine months of Fiscal 2026 compared to the $9.0 million provided from financing activities in the first nine months of Fiscal 2025.  The cash provided in both periods was related to proceeds generated from the issuance of common shares and warrants, offset by the related share offering costs for each transaction.

Capital Resources

Our objective in managing our capital is to safeguard our ability to continue as a going concern and to sustain future development of the business.  Senior management is responsible for managing capital through regular review of financial information to ensure sufficient resources are available to meet operating requirements and investments to support the growth strategy.  Our Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing this process.  From time to time, we could issue new Common Shares or debt to maintain or adjust our capital structure.  We are not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Refer to major highlights section earlier in this MD&A.

DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES AND INTERNAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

As required by National Instrument 52-109 Certification of Disclosure in Issuers Annual and Interim Filings and Rule 13a-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), as amended, we have evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures ("DC&P") (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the quarter.  These DC&P are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be publicly disclosed is recorded, processed, summarized and reported on a timely basis.

Based upon the evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that the operation of our DC&P were effective as of September 30, 2025.  Since the September 30, 2025 evaluation, there have been no changes in our DC&P that materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our DC&P, accordingly their design remains effective.

Management's Assessment on Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

In accordance with National Instrument 52-109 Certification of Disclosure in Issuer's Annual and Interim Filings and as required by Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act, as amended, the CEO and CFO are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal controls over financial reporting ("ICFR"), The Company's management, including the CEO and CFO, designed ICFR based on the 2013 Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the "COSO Framework") to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS.

ICFR is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. ICFR has inherent limitations.  ICFR is a process that involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgement and breakdowns resulting from human failures.  ICFR also can be circumvented by collusion or improper management override.  Because of such limitations, there is a risk that material misstatements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by ICFR.  However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process.  Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.

Management, under the supervision, and with the participation, of our CEO and CFO and oversight of the Board of Directors, evaluated the effectiveness of our ICFR as at September 30, 2025, against the COSO Framework.  Based on these evaluations, our management, including our CEO and CFO, concluded that no material weaknesses existed and our ICFR were effective as of September 30, 2025.  For the nine-month period ending on June 30, 2026, there have been no changes that have materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect our ICFR, accordingly their design remains effective.

DEFSEC TECHNOLOGIES INC.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2026

Due to its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis.  Additionally, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
