   -- Revenue of $3M was 18% lower than the same quarter of the prior year, 
      primarily due to lower renewal rates on sunsetting legacy product 
      offerings. 
 
   -- Sunsetting legacy product revenue declined by 34.8% or $0.5M in Q2 FY26 
      compared to Q2 FY25. The ongoing decline of legacy product revenue is 
      proceeding as expected. 
 
   -- Revenue from the Mitel business segment decreased by 5% in Q2 FY26 
      compared to the same period in the prior year. This decrease is 
      attributable to a continued shift in the revenue mix from various MPA 
      offerings. The Mitel business represents a growth opportunity as it 
      continues to be a large source of revenue and gross margin, representing 
      50% of total revenues in Q2 FY26 (compared to 43% in Q2 FY25). Martello 
      works closely with Mitel to ensure that MPA remains well-positioned to 
      support both emerging and established market segments, with an emphasis 
      on high-growth opportunities. 
 
   -- Vantage DX monthly recurring revenue ("MRR") declined 15% year-over-year 
      in Q2 FY26, while overall MRR fell 18% to $0.97M from $1.19M in the prior 
      year. The decreases were primarily driven by customer attrition, expected 
      declines in sunsetting legacy product renewals, and changes in the mix of 
      users subscribed to certain Mitel offerings. 
 
   -- 97% of total revenues were recurring in Q2 FY26 compared to 98% in Q2 
      FY25. 
 
   -- Gross margin was 84.5% in Q2 FY26 compared to 86% in Q2 FY25. The 
      decrease in gross margin reflects a proportionally larger decline in 
      revenue relative to the reduction in cost of sales. 
 
   -- Operating expenses for Q2 FY26 rose 129% to $9.61M, primarily due to a 
      $5.9M impairment of intangible assets, which relate to the Modern 
      Workplace Optimization segment and the transition of Vantage DX to End of 
      Sale status. As a result of this transition, management assessed the 
      related intangible assets and concluded that the carrying value was no 
      longer recoverable, resulting in an impairment charge. Excluding this 
      impairment, operating expenses decreased $0.49M (12%), mainly reflecting 
      lower compensation costs following workforce reductions. 
 
   -- Loss from operations was $7.08M compared to a loss of $1.07M in the same 
      period of FY25, an increase of $6.01M or 564%, primarily attributable to 
      the write-off of intangible assets and decreased revenue slightly offset 
      by lower operating expenses as described above. 
 
   -- Adjusted EBITDA (a non-IFRS measure) was a loss of $0.76M in Q2 FY26 
      compared to a loss of $0.58M in Q2 FY25, due to a decrease in revenue, 
      partially offset by lower operating expenses and cost of sales resulting 
      from cost optimization initiatives. 
 
   -- The Company's cash and short-term investments balance was $2.11M as of 
      September 30, 2025 (compared to $6.69M at March 31, 2025), primarily due 
      to the net loss of $9.58M in FY26 to date.
