explanatory note

Draganfly Inc. (the “Company”) filed its Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 (the “Original Form 20-F”) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on March 27, 2024 (the “Original Filing Date”). This Amendment No. 1 on Form 20-F (this “Amendment No. 1” or “Form 20-F/A”) is being filed to restate certain information in the Company’s previously issued Consolidated Statement of Cashflows (the “Restatement”). Subsequent to the Original Filing Date, the Company determined that in the presentation of the year end Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, some of the proceeds from the October 30, 2023 share issuance net of related costs were split between financing and operating activities. In the Restatement, the entire proceeds and all the share issue costs paid during the year have been allocated to the financing activities section.

The Restatement does not impact the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position, Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss, Consolidated Statements of Changes in Shareholder’s Equity, or cash position of the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023. The only change was with respect to a reclassification within the Statement of Cashflows as described above.

Items Amended in This Filing

The following items have been amended as a result of the Restatement:

● Part I, Item 3.D., Risk Factors. This Item is included to add one risk factor (regarding material weaknesses in disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting) to the risk factors that appeared in the Original Form 20-F.

● Part I, Item 5, Operating and Financial Review and Prospects. This Item is included to make reference to the amended and restated management’s discussion and analysis of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the ‎‎”2023 MD&A”) which was amended to include one additional risk factor.

● Part II, Item 15, Controls and Procedures. This Item is included in its entirety with revised disclosure regarding our disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting.

● Part III, Item 18, Financial Statements.

● Part III, Item 19, Exhibits. This Item is included because we are filing currently dated certifications from our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer in connection with this Amendment No. 1 and a currently dated consent from our independent registering public accounting firm. These certifications and consent are filed as Exhibits 12.1, 12.2, 13.1 13.2, and 15.3. We are also filing a new Exhibit 15.1, an amended and restated 2023 MD&A. The Company has amended and restated its 2023 MD&A to add additional risk factor disclosure on pages 45 and 46 relating to the change above. No other changes to the 2023 MD&A have been made.

This Amendment No. 1 speaks as of the Original Filing Date of the Original Form 20-F (unless otherwise noted or as the context otherwise requires). Except as described above, no changes have been made to the Original Form 20-F, and this Amendment No. 1 does not modify, amend or update the other information contained in the Original Form 20-F. This Amendment No. 1 does not reflect any events that have occurred on or after the Original Filing Date. Among other things, the Company has not revised forward-looking statements made in the Original Form 20-F to reflect events that occurred or facts that became known to the Company after the Original Filing Date. Therefore, this Amendment No. 1 should be read in conjunction with the Original Form 20-F.

Key Information

3.D.

Risk Factors

We have identified a material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting with respect to the review of the treatment of a unit share issuance as of the end of the period covered by this Form 20-F/A. Our business and share price may be adversely affected if we fail to implement and maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting.

For the period ended December 31, 2023, our management identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim consolidated financial statements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The material weakness identified in our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, are described in Part II, Item 15, “Controls and Procedures.” While we believe we will be able to remediate the material weakness, we cannot provide assurance that this will not be an isolated incident. The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting is subject to various inherent limitations, including cost limitations, judgments used in decision making, assumptions about the likelihood of future events, the possibility of human error and the risk of fraud. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements in our financial statements due to error or fraud may occur and require restatement, such as the error that resulted in the restatement of the Company’s previously issued Consolidated Statement of Cashflows described herein.

The material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting will not be considered remediated until the controls operate for a sufficient period and management has concluded testing that these controls operate effectively. If we are unable to remediate the material weakness or identify additional material weakness in the future, we may be unable to accurately report our financial results, which could cause our financial results to be materially misstated and require restatement. In such case, we may be unable to maintain compliance with securities law requirements regarding timely filing of periodic reports in addition to applicable stock exchange listing requirements. Ineffective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting could also result in regulatory action by regulatory authorities, potential litigation, or other disputes, contractual claims or other claims arising from the restatement and the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements. Any such litigation or dispute, whether successful or not, could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Loss of investor confidence, harm to our reputation and financial condition, diversion of financial and management resources from the operation of our business, and the market price of our common stock may also decline as a result. We cannot assure you that the remediation measures that we may take in the future will be sufficient to avoid future material weaknesses.

Item 5.

Operating and Financial Review and Prospects

The amended and restated management’s discussion and analysis of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2023 is included in this Annual Report in Exhibit 15.1, which is incorporated herein by reference.

PART II

Item 15.

Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

At the end of the period covered by this Annual Report, an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures” (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e)‎ under the Exchange Act) was carried out by the Company’s principal executive officer (the “CEO”) and principal financial officer (the “CFO”). Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s CEO and CFO had concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report, the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2023 to ensure that (i) information required to be disclosed in reports that the Company files or submits to regulatory authorities is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by regulation, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company’s CEO and CFO, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

In connection with the restating of certain information in the Company’s previously issued Consolidated Statement of Cashflows, however, due to the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting subsequently identified and described below, our management re-evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2023 and has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective in this isolated case, as of that date because of such material weakness with respect to technical accounting matters in the Company’s financial reporting process.

Management Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting & Auditor Attestation

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and Rule 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) and has designed such internal control over financial reporting to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

In designing and evaluating the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, the Company’s management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its reasonable judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risks that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate.

Management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth in “Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013)” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on this evaluation, management had concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2023. Based on the Company restating certain information in the Company’s previously issued Consolidated Statement of Cashflows, however, the Company’s assessment is there was a material weakness relating to internal control over financial reporting with regard to the review of the treatment of a unit share issuance relating to the allocation of share issuance proceeds and share issuance costs.

Consequently, our management has reassessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023 and has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2023 due to the material weakness set forth above and this report has been revised from our report included in the Original Form 20-F (which had reported internal controls over financial reporting as effective).

Attestation Report of Independent Auditor

In accordance with the JOBS Act enacted on April 5, 2012, the Company qualifies as an “emerging growth company,” which entitles the Company to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not EGCs. Specifically, the JOBS Act defers the requirement to have the Company’s independent auditor assess the Company’s internal control over financial reporting under Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. As such, the Company is exempted from the requirement to include an auditor attestation report in this Annual Report for so long as the Company remains an EGC, which may be for as long as five years following its initial registration in the United States.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the year ended December 31, 2023, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Draganfly Inc. (the “Company”)

Notice to Reader

The Company has amended and restated its consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 2023 (the”2023 Financial Statements”) because the change below was made to the Consolidated Statement of Cashflows related to the 2023 financial statements:

The presentation of the proceeds received and share issue costs paid related to the October 30, 2023 share issuance has been updated. The Company determined that in the presentation of the year end Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, some of the proceeds net of related costs were split between financing and operating activities. In the revised Consolidated Statement of Cashflows, the entire proceeds and all the share issue costs paid during the year have been allocated to the financing activities section.

There was no impact to the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position, Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss, Consolidated Statements of Changes in Shareholder’s Equity, or cash position of the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023. The only change was with respect to a reclassification between operating and financing activities within the Statement of Cashflows as described above and there have been no other changes to the 2023 Financial Statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the shareholders and the board of directors of Draganfly Inc.

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of Draganfly Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the related consolidated statements of comprehensive loss, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows, for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2023, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and its financial performance and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2023, in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has incurred losses in developing its business, and further losses are anticipated. The Company requires additional funds to meet its obligations and the costs of its operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in this regard are described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty

Restatement of 2023 Consolidated Financial Statements

As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the 2023 consolidated financial statements have been restated to correct a misstatement.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s 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 the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the 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 in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. 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 in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the 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 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 financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Amended and Restated Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Year Ended December 31, 2023

Expressed in Canadian Dollars

1. NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN

Draganfly Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated on June 1, 2018 under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia). The Company creates quality, cutting-edge unmanned and remote data collection and analysis platforms and systems that are designed to revolutionize the way companies do business. The Company’s shares trade on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the “CSE”), on the Nasdaq Capital Market (the “Nasdaq”) under the symbol “DPRO” and on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the symbol “3U8A”. The Company’s head office is located at 235 103^rd St. E, Saskatoon, SK, S7N 1Y8 and its registered office is located at 2800 – 666 Burrard Street, Vancouver, BC, V6C 2Z7.

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern, meaning it will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize assets and discharge liabilities in the ordinary course of operations. To date, the Company has not been profitable and has an accumulated deficit of $103,588,356. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain additional financing and or achieve profitable operations in the future. These factors raise substantial doubt over the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These consolidated financial statements do not reflect adjustments that would be necessary if the going concern assumption were not appropriate. These adjustments could be material.

2. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION AND BASIS OF PREPARATION

Statement of Compliance

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and interpretations issued by the International Reporting Interpretation Committee (“IFRIC”). The material accounting policy information set out below was consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise noted.

These amended and restated consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on May 14, 2024.

Basis of consolidation

Each subsidiary is fully consolidated from the date of acquisition, being the date on which the Company obtains control, and continues to be consolidated until the date when such control ceases.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and results of operations of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries listed in the following table:

SCHEDULE OF WHOLLY OWNED SUBSIDIARIES

Name of Subsidiary	Place of Incorporation	Ownership Interest
Draganfly Innovations Inc. (DII)	Canada		100	%
Draganfly Innovations USA, Inc. (DI USA)	US		100	%
Dronelogics Systems Inc. (“Dronelogics”)	Canada		100	%

All intercompany balances and transactions were eliminated on consolidation.

Restatement of previously reported Statement of Cashflows on consolidated financial statements

The Company determined that the presentation of the proceeds and share issue costs from the October 30, 2023 share issuance had been allocated between financing and operating activities resulting in an error in the classification of cash flows. A portion of the proceeds was reported as part of the finance and other costs adjustments in the Cash used in operating activities section of the Statement of Cashflows but should have been reported in financing activities.

The Cash provided by financing activities has been updated to reflect the total cash proceeds and cash share issue costs related to the issuance and the finance and other costs adjustment in the Cash Used in operating activities section has also been updated.

The following table summarizes the effect of the adjustment described above:

	Previously reported			Adjustment			As restated
	Year ended December 31, 2023
	Previously reported			Adjustment			As restated
	$			$			$
Finance and other costs		4,355,156			(3,435,148	)		920,008

Cash provided by financing activities		10,718,116			3,728,807			14,446,923

The restatement had no impact on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position, Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss, and the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Shareholder’s Equity.

Foreign currency translation

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at rates of exchange at the time of such transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the reporting period rate of exchange. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at historical exchange rates. Gains and losses resulting from foreign exchange adjustments are included in profit or loss.

The functional currencies of the parent company and each subsidiary are as follows:

Draganfly Inc.		Canadian Dollar
Draganfly Innovations Inc.		Canadian Dollar
Draganfly Innovations USA, Inc.		US Dollar
Dronelogics Systems Inc.		Canadian Dollar

Financial statements of subsidiaries for which the functional currency is not the Canadian dollar are translated into Canadian dollars as follows: all asset and liability accounts are translated at the year-end exchange rate and all revenue and expense accounts and cash flow statement items are translated at average exchange rates for the year. The resulting translation gains and losses are recorded as exchange differences on translation of foreign operations in other comprehensive loss.

Share-based payments

The Company may grant stock options or restricted share units (“RSU’s”) to its directors, officers, employees and consultants. The Company records share-based compensation related to stock options using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model.

The RSU’s granted entitle an employee, director or officer to either the issuance of common shares or cash payments payable upon vesting with terms determined by the Company’s Board of Directors at the time of the grant. If on the grant date it is determined there is an obligation to settle in cash, the RSU’s are accounted for as liabilities, with the fair value remeasured at the end of each reporting period and on the settlement date. Changes in fair value are recognized in profit and loss. Expense is recognized over the vesting period.

The Company has a present obligation to settle in cash if the choice of settlement in shares has no commercial substance, or the Company has a past practice or a stated policy of setting in cash, or generally settles in cash whenever the counterparty asks for cash settlement. If no such obligation exists, RSUs are accounted for as equity settled share-based payments and are valued using the share price on grant date. Upon settlement:

a)	If the Company elects to settle in cash, the cash payment is accounted for as the repurchase of an equity interest (i.e. as a deduction from equity), except as noted in (c) below.
b)	If the Company elects to settle by issuing shares, the value of RSUs initially recognized in reserves is reclassified to share capital, except as noted in (c) below.
c)	If the Company elects the settlement alternative with the higher fair value, as at the date of settlement, the Company recognizes an additional expense for the excess value given (i.e. the difference between the cash paid and the fair value of shares that would otherwise have been issued, or the difference between the fair value of the shares and the amount of cash that would otherwise have been paid, whichever is applicable).

2. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION AND BASIS OF PREPARATION (CONT’D)

The aggregate sales price or amount of common shares issued during any consecutive 12-month period will not exceed the greatest of the following: (i) USD $1,000,000; (ii) 15% of the total assets of the Company, measured at the Company’s most recent balance sheet date; or (iii) 15% of the outstanding amount of the common shares of the Company, measured at the Company’s most recent balance sheet date. At the election of the Board of Directors, upon each vesting date, participants receive (a) the issuance of common shares from treasury equal to the number of RSUs vesting, or (b) a cash payment equal to the number of vested RSUs multiplied by the fair market value of a common share, calculated as the closing price of the common shares on the CSE for the trading day immediately preceding such payment date; or (c) a combination of (a) and (b).

In conjunction with private placements or brokered financings, the Company may issue compensatory warrants to agents as consideration for services provided. Awards of grants are accounted for in accordance with the fair value method of accounting and result in an increase in share issue costs and a credit to warrants within shareholders’ equity when warrants are issued.

Loss per share

Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding in the year.

Diluted income per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to common shareholders of the parent by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year plus the weighted average number of common shares that would be issued on the conversion of all the dilutive potential common shares into common shares. The Company had 8,574,798 warrants, 897,158 options and 1,112,967 RSU’s that would be potentially dilutive if the Company were not in a loss position and were to calculate diluted income per share.

Financial Instruments

Financial instruments are accounted for in accordance with IFRS 9 Financial Instruments: Classification and Measurement. A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.

Financial assets/liabilities		Classification
Cash and cash equivalents		Fair value through profit or loss
Receivables		Amortized cost
Notes receivable		Fair value through profit or loss
Investments		Fair value through other comprehensive income
Trade payables		Amortized cost
Customer deposits		Amortized cost
Loans payable		Amortized cost
Derivative liability		Fair value through profit or loss

a)	*Financial assets*

Classification and measurement

The Company classifies its financial assets in the following categories: at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”), at fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVTOCI”) or at amortized cost. The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial assets were acquired. Management determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition.

2. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION AND BASIS OF PREPARATION (CONT’D)

The classification of debt instruments is driven by the business model for managing the financial assets and their contractual cash flow characteristics. Debt instruments are measured at amortized cost if the business model is to hold the instrument for collection of contractual cash flows and those cash flows are solely principal and interest. If the cash flows are not solely principal and interest, it is classified as FVTPL. Financial assets with embedded derivatives are considered in their entirety when determining whether their cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest.

Equity instruments that are held for trading (including all equity derivative instruments) are classified as FVTPL, for other equity instruments, on the day of acquisition the Company can make an irrevocable election (on an instrument by-instrument basis) to designate them as at FVTOCI.

Financial assets at FVTPL

Financial assets carried at FVTPL are initially recorded at fair value and transaction costs are recorded to profit or loss. Realized and unrealized gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of financial assets held at FVTPL are included in the profit or loss in the period in which they arise. Derivatives are also categorized as FVTPL unless they are designated as hedges.

Financial assets at FVTOCI

Financial assets carried at FVTOCI are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs. Subsequently they are measured at fair value, with gains and losses arising from changes in fair value recognized in other comprehensive income. There is no subsequent reclassification of fair value gains and losses to profit or loss following the derecognition of the investment.

Financial assets at amortized cost

Financial assets at amortized cost are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently carried at amortized cost less any impairment. They are classified as current assets or non-current assets based on their maturity date.

Impairment of financial assets at amortized cost

The Company recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets that are measured at amortized cost. At each reporting date, the loss allowance for the financial asset is measured at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses if the credit risk on the financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition. If at the reporting date, the financial asset has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the loss allowance is measured for the financial asset at an amount equal to twelve month expected credit losses. For trade receivables the Company applies the simplified approach to providing for expected credit losses, which allows the use of a lifetime expected loss provision.

Impairment losses on financial assets carried at amortized cost are reversed in subsequent periods if the amount of the loss decreases and the decrease can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized.

Derecognition of financial assets

Financial assets are derecognized when the risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred. Gains and losses on derecognition of financial assets classified as FVTPL or amortized cost are recorded to profit or loss. Gains or losses on financial assets classified as FVTOCI remain within accumulated other comprehensive loss.

b)	*Financial liabilities*

The Company classifies its financial liabilities into one of two categories as follows:

FVTPL - This category comprises derivatives and financial liabilities incurred principally for the purpose of selling or repurchasing in the near term. They are carried at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in profit or loss.

Other financial liabilities - This category consists of liabilities carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Trade payables, customer deposits and loans payable are included in this category.

2. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION AND BASIS OF PREPARATION (CONT’D)

Derecognition of financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are derecognized when its contractual obligations are discharged, cancelled, or expire. The Company also derecognizes a financial liability when the terms of the liability are modified such that the terms and/or cash flows of the modified instrument are substantially different, in which case a new financial liability based on the modified terms is recognized at fair value. Gains and losses on derecognition are recognized in profit or loss.

Impairment of non-financial assets

The carrying amounts of the non-financial assets are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If indicators exist, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. The recoverable amounts of the following types of intangible assets are measured annually, whether or not there is any indication that it may be impaired:

	●	an intangible asset with an indefinite useful life; and
	●	an intangible asset not yet available for use;

The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit (“CGU”) is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.

If there is an indication that a corporate asset may be impaired, then the recoverable amount is determined for the CGU to which the corporate asset belongs.

An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset or its CGU exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognized in profit or loss. Impairment losses recognized in respect of CGUs are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the CGU, and then to reduce the carrying amounts of the other assets in the CGU on a pro rata basis.

In respect of assets other than goodwill and intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives, impairment losses recognized in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed in a subsequent period when there has been an increase in the recoverable amount of a previously impaired asset or CGU. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, if no impairment loss had been recognized.

Current income tax assets and liabilities for the current period are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted, at the reporting date, in the countries where the Company operates and generates taxable income.

Current income taxes relating to items recognized directly in other comprehensive income or equity is recognized in other comprehensive income or equity and not in profit or loss. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate.

Deferred income tax

Deferred income tax is recognized, using the asset and liability method, on temporary differences at the reporting date arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting. The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and recognized only to the extent that it is probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilized. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. Deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities are offset, if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current income tax liabilities and the deferred income taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.

Inventory

Inventory consists of raw materials and finished goods for manufacturing of multi-rotor helicopters, industrial areal video systems, civilian small unmanned aerial systems or vehicles, health monitoring equipment, and wireless video systems. Inventory is initially valued at cost and subsequently at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined using the first-in-first-out method. The cost of inventories comprises all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. The costs of purchase include the purchase price, import duties and non-recoverable taxes and transport, handling and other costs directly attributable to the acquisition of finished goods, materials or services. The costs of conversion include direct materials and labour costs and a systematic allocation of fixed and variable overheads incurred in converting materials into finished goods. The Company reviews inventory for obsolete and slow-moving goods and any such inventory is written-down to net realizable value.

Revenue recognition

Revenue comprises the fair value of consideration received or receivable for the sale of goods and consulting services in the ordinary course of the Company’s business. Revenue is shown net of return allowances and discounts.

Sales of goods

The Company manufactures and sells a range of multi-rotor helicopters, industrial aerial video systems, and civilian small unmanned aerial systems or vehicles. Sales are recognized at a point-in-time when control of the products has transferred. The control transfer for Dronelogics Systems Inc. (“Dronelogics”) and Draganfly Innovations USA, Inc. is when the products are shipped to the customer and there is no unfulfilled obligation that could affect the customer’s acceptance of the products. At this point revenue is recognized. For Draganfly Innovations Inc. transfer occurs for sales outside of North America when shipped and for sales within North America on delivery which occurs in proximity to shipping. Revenue is recognized when the transfer of control has occurred.

Revenue from these sales is recognized based on the price specified in the contract, net of the estimated discounts and returns. Accumulated experience is used to estimate and provide for the discounts and returns, using the expected value method, and revenue is only recognized to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal will not occur. To date, returns have not been significant. No element of financing is deemed present as the sales are made with a credit term of 30 days, which is consistent with market practice.

Some contracts include multiple performance obligations, such as the sale of hardware and support or maintenance. Where support or maintenance is performed by another party and does not include an integration service it is accounted for as a separate performance obligation. In this case, the transaction price will be allocated to each performance obligation based on stand-alone selling price. Where the stand-alone selling price is not directly observable, the price is estimated based on expect cost plus margin. Where the support or maintenance is provided by the Company, the contract is analyzed to identify the performance obligations and transaction price. The price is then allocated across the obligations identified in the contract. Revenue is recognized when the Company satisfies a performance obligation.

Services

The Company provides consulting, custom engineering, drones as a service, and investigating and solving on a project-by-project basis under fixed-price and variable price contracts. Revenue from providing services is recognized over time as the services are rendered.

The Company provides rental of equipment which is measured based on rates through contracts or other written agreements with customers. Revenue is recognized in the period when services are performed and only when there is reasonable assurance that the revenue will be collected.

Deferred Income

A payment received is included as deferred revenue when products have yet to be shipped to the customers as of the period end or there are unfulfilled obligations related to the revenue received. The amount to be recognized within twelve months following the year-end date is classified as current.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of sales includes the expenses incurred to acquire and produce inventory for sale, including product costs, freight costs, as well as provisions for reserves related to product shrinkage, or lower of cost and net realizable value adjustments as required.

Intangible Assets and Goodwill

An intangible asset is an identifiable asset without physical substance. An asset is identifiable if it is separable, or arises from contractual or legal rights, regardless of whether those rights are transferrable or separable from the Company or from other rights and obligations. Intangible assets include intellectual property, which consists of patent and trademark applications, brands and software.

Intangible assets acquired externally are measured at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses. The cost of a group of intangible assets acquired is allocated to the individual intangible assets based on their relative fair values. The cost of intangible assets acquired externally comprises its purchase price and any directly attributable cost of preparing the asset for its intended use. Research and development costs incurred subsequent to the acquisition of externally acquired intangible assets and on internally generated intangible assets are accounted for as research and development costs.

Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over the expected life of each intellectual property to write off the cost of the assets from the date they are available for use.

Class of intangible asset		Useful live
Customer relationship		5 years
Brand		5 years
Software		5 years
Patents		5 years

Goodwill represents the excess of the value of the consideration transferred over the fair value of the net identifiable assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination. Goodwill is allocated to the cash generating unit to which it relates.

Equipment

Equipment is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognized. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss.

Depreciation is generally calculated on a declining balance method to write off the cost of the assets to their residual values over their estimated useful lives. Depreciation for leasehold improvements is fully expensed over the expected term of the lease. The depreciation rates applicable to each category of equipment are as follows:

SCHEDULE OF CLASS OF EQUIPMENT

Class of equipment		Depreciation rate
Computer equipment		30%
Furniture and equipment		20%
Leasehold improvements		Expected lease term
Vehicles		30%

Research and development expenditures

Expenditures on research are expensed as incurred. Research activities include formulation, design, evaluation and final selection of possible alternatives, products, processes, systems or services. Development expenditures are expensed as incurred unless the Company can demonstrate all of the following:

	(i)	the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale;
	(ii)	its intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it;
	(iii)	its ability to use or sell the intangible asset;
	(iv)	how the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits. The Company can also demonstrate the existence of a market for the output of the intangible asset or the intangible asset itself or, if it is to be used internally, the usefulness of the intangible asset;
	(v)	the availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the intangible asset; and
	(vi)	its ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development.

Government Assistance

Government grants are recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received, and all attached conditions will be complied with. When the grant relates to an expense item, it is recognized as income on a systematic basis over the period that the related costs, for which it is intended to compensate, are expensed. When the grant relates to an asset, the cost of the asset is reduced by the amount of the grant and the grant is recognized as income in equal amounts over the expected useful life of the asset.

Leases

A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. At the commencement date, the lease liability is recognized at the present value of the future lease payments and discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. A corresponding right-of-use (“ROU”) asset is recognized at the amount of the lease liability, adjusted for any lease incentives received and initial direct costs incurred. Over the term of the lease, financing expense is recognized on the lease liability using the effective interest rate method and charged to net income, lease payments are applied against the lease liability and depreciation on the ROU asset is recorded by class of underlying asset.

The lease term is the non-cancellable period of a lease plus periods covered by an optional lease extension option if it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise the option to extend. Conversely, periods covered by an option to terminate are included if the Company does not expect to end the lease during that time frame. Leases with a term of less than twelve months or leases for underlying low value assets are recognized as an expense in net income on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

A lease modification is accounted for as a separate lease if it materially changes the scope of the lease. For a modification that is not a separate lease, on the effective date of the lease modification, the Company will remeasure the lease liability and corresponding ROU asset using the interest rate implicit in the lease or the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. Any variance between the remeasured ROU asset and lease liability will be recognized as a gain or loss in net income to reflect the change in scope.

New accounting standards issued not yet effective

Accounting standards or amendments to existing accounting standards that have been issued but have future effective dates are either not applicable or are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

3. MANAGEMENT JUDGEMENT AND ASSUMPTIONS

Significant estimates and assumptions

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions about reported amounts at the date of the consolidated financial statements and in the future. The Company’s management reviews these estimates and underlying assumptions on an ongoing basis, based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Revisions to estimates are adjusted for prospectively in the period in which the estimates are revised.

3. MANAGEMENT JUDGEMENT AND ASSUMPTIONS (CONT’D)

Share-based payments

The cost of share-based payment transactions with directors, officers and employees are measured by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments. Estimating fair value for share-based payment transactions requires determining the most appropriate valuation model, which is dependent on the terms and conditions of the grant. This estimate also requires determining and making assumptions about the most appropriate inputs to the valuation model including the expected life, volatility, risk-free interest rate, expected forfeiture rate and dividend yield.

Income taxes

Provisions for income taxes are made using the best estimate of the amount expected to be paid based on a qualitative assessment of all relevant factors. The Company reviews the adequacy of these income tax provisions at the end of each reporting period. However, it is possible that at some future date an additional liability could result from audits by tax authorities. Where the final outcome of these tax-related matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will affect the tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made. Deferred tax assets are recognized when it is determined that the Company is likely to recognize their recovery from the generation of taxable income.

Inventory

Inventory is valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is determined with reference to the estimated selling price less costs to sell. The Company estimates selling price based upon assumptions about future demand and current and anticipated retail market conditions. The future realization of these inventories may be affected by future technology or other market- driven changes that may reduce future selling prices.

Investments in Private companies

Where the fair value of investments in private companies recorded on the consolidated statement of financial position cannot be derived from active markets, they are determined using a variety of valuation techniques. The inputs to these models are derived from observable market data where possible, but where observable market data is not available, judgment is required to establish fair value and this value may not be indicative of the eventual recoverable value.

Expected credit losses on trade receivables and notes receivable

When determining expected credit losses (“ECLs”), the Company considers the historic credit losses observed by the Company, customer-specific payment history and economic conditions. When determining whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition and when estimating ECL’s, the Company considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort. This includes both quantitative and qualitative information and analysis, based on the Company’s historical experience, informed credit assessment and forward-looking information.

Useful lives of equipment and intangible assets

Estimates of the useful lives of equipment and intangible assets are based on the period over which the assets are expected to be available for use. The estimated useful lives are reviewed annually and are updated if expectations differ from previous estimates due to physical wear and tear, technical or commercial obsolescence, and legal or other limits on the use of the relevant assets. In addition, the estimation of the useful lives of the relevant assets may be based on internal technical evaluation and experience with similar assets. It is possible, however, that future results of operations could be materially affected by changes in the estimates brought about by changes in the factors mentioned above. The amounts and timing of recorded expenses for any period would be affected by changes in these factors and circumstances. A reduction in the estimated useful lives of the equipment would increase the recorded expenses and decrease the non-current assets.

Significant judgments

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the Company to make judgments, apart from those involving estimates, in applying accounting policies. The most significant judgments applied to the Company’s consolidated financial statements include:

	−	The assessment of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and whether there are events or conditions that may give rise to significant uncertainty;
	−	the classification of financial instruments;
	−	the assessment of revenue recognition using the five-step approach under IFRS 15; and
	−	the determination of the functional currency of each entity in the group.

Goodwill

On December 31, 2022 the Company performed its annual goodwill impairment test on Vital and Dronelogics. The Company determined the recoverable amount based on a value in use calculation using the following key assumptions:

	●	5 year post tax cash flow projections expected to be generated based on a financial forecast with a terminal growth rate of 2% (2021 – 2%).
	●	Budgeted cash flows calculated using a weighted average revenue EBITDA margin of 6.5% (2021 – 14%) for Dronelogics and 0% (2021 – 42%) for Vital Intelligence Inc. (“Vital”) respectively were estimated by management based on the past performance and future growth prospects as well as observed trends among comparable companies.
	●	Cash flows were discounted at the weighted average cost of capital of 19% (2021 – 17%) for Dronelogics and 29% (2021 – 24%) for Vital based on peer group averages and adjusted for the Company’s risk factors.

Based on the annual goodwill impairment test, the Company determined that the goodwill for Dronelogics and Vital required impairment, as such the Company recorded an impairment charge of $2,166,563 (2021 – nil) for Dronelogics and $4,031,628 (2021 - $4,579,763) for Vital. In addition to the goodwill, the Company deemed that the brand and software for Vital required impairment, as such the Company recorded an impairment charge of $15,971 and $240,752 respectively.

The most sensitive inputs to the value in use model are the growth and discount rates. All else being equal:

●

A 10% reduction in the Value in use for the discounted cash flow model would result in a reduction of $104,248 for Dronelogics (2021 – $597,100) and $Nil for Vital (2021 - $570,133).

Warrants

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company issued 1,600,000 warrants for a purchase price of $0.5499USD with an exercise price of $0.0001USD per unit. The Company also issued 6,400,000 warrants at an exercise price $0.6123USD. Being in a currency that is not the Company’s functional currency these warrants are required to be recorded as a financial liability. As a financial liability, the portion of the warrants related to the future exercise price will be revalued at every reporting period to fair market value with the change in fair value being recorded in profit or loss. All of the above warrants have a 5 year term, expiring October 30, 2028 and vest immediately. 320,000 underwriter warrants were issued as part of the transaction with an exercise price of $0.6875USD and a term of 3 years. These warrants were treated as share issue costs.

To reach a fair value of the USD Warrants, a Black Scholes calculation is used, calculated in USD as the Company also trades on the Nasdaq. The Black Scholes value per USD Warrant is then multiplied by the number of outstanding warrants and then multiplied by the foreign exchange rate at the end of the period. At the date of issue the warrants were valued with a risk free rate of 4.8%, volatility of 115.35%, expected life of 5 years and an expected dividend yield rate of 0%. The broker warrants were valued with a risk free rate of 4.87%, volatility of 138.83%, expected life of 3 years and an expected dividend yield of 0%.

21. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Company is exposed in varying degrees to a variety of financial instrument related risks. The Board of Directors approves and monitors the risk management processes, inclusive of documented investment policies, counterparty limits, and controlling and reporting structures. The type of risk exposure and the way in which such exposure is managed is provided as follows:

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of an unexpected loss if a customer or third party fails to meet its contractual obligations.

The Company is subject to credit risk on its cash and receivables. The Company limits its exposure to credit loss on cash by placing its cash with a high-quality financial institution. The Company performs credit evaluations of its customers.

Receivables

Receivables primarily consist of trade receivables, accrued receivables and taxes receivable. The Company provides credit in the normal course of business in the form of payment terms and has an established process for determining terms to offer customers to mitigate credit risk. Receivables are shown net of any provision made for impairment of the receivables. Due to this factor, the Company believes that no additional credit risk, beyond amounts provided for collection loss, is inherent in receivables.

21. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (CONT’D)

Expected credit loss (“ECL”) analysis is performed at each reporting date using an objective approach to measure expected credit losses. The provision amounts are based on direct management interface with the customer. The calculations reflect the probability-weighted outcome, the time value of money and reasonable supportable information that is available at the reporting date abut past events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions. Receivables are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Indicators that there is no reasonable expectation of recovery include, amongst others, business failure, the failure of a debtor to engage in a repayment plan, and a failure to make contractual payments over the negotiated contract period.

The Company’s aging of receivables was as follows:

SCHEDULE OF AGING OF RECEIVABLES

	December 31, 2023		December 31, 2022
0 – 30 days	$	271,622	$	1,020,091

91 + days		203,803		609,132
Total receivables	$	649,612	$	2,088,965

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company has a planning and budgeting process in place to help determine the funds required to support the Company’s normal operating requirements on an ongoing basis. The Company ensures that there are sufficient funds to meet its short-term business requirements, taking into account its anticipated cash flows from operations and its holdings of cash and cash equivalents. Historically, the Company’s sole source of funding has been the issuance of equity securities for cash, primarily through private placements. The Company’s access to financing is always uncertain. There can be no assurance of continued access to significant equity funding.

The following is an analysis of the contractual maturities of the Company’s financial liabilities at December 31, 2023:

Foreign exchange risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair values of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because they are denominated in currencies that differ from the respective functional currency. The Company does not hedge its exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates.

21. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (CONT’D)

The following table summarizes the sensitivity of the fair value of the Company’s risk to foreign exchange rates, with all other variables held constant. Fluctuations of 10 percent in the foreign exchange rate between US dollars and Canadian dollars could have resulted in a change impacting net loss upon consolidation as follows:

		December 31, 2023				December 31, 2022
Foreign exchange rate		$	530,758			$	969,977

Fair value

A number of the Company’s accounting policies and disclosures require the measurement of fair values for financial assets and liabilities. The Company has established a control framework with respect to the measurement of fair values. Fair values are categorized into different levels of a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows:

Level 1: quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: other techniques for which all inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value are observable, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3: techniques which use inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value that are not based on observable market data.

Equity securities in investee companies and warrants are measured at fair value. The financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value by hierarchy are shown in the table below. The amounts shown are based on the amounts recognized in the consolidated statements of financial position. These financial assets are measured at fair value through profit and loss.

December 31, 2023	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Equity securities in investee companies	$	57,143	$	-	$	132,260	$	189,403

Equity securities in investee companies	$	57,143	$	-	$	135,440	$	192,583

The fair value of the warrants derivative liability at initial recognition and at year end has been calculated using the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model

Key observable inputs

● Share price

● Risk free interest rate

● Dividend yield

Key unobservable inputs

● Expected volatility

The estimated fair value would increase (decrease) if:

● The price was higher (lower)

● The risk-free rate was higher (lower)

● The dividend yield was lower (higher)

● The expected volatility was higher (lower)

For the fair value of the derivative liability, reasonable possible changes to the expected volatility, the most significant unobservable input would have the following effects:
