To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of Sangoma Technologies Corporation
Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statement of financial position of Sangoma Technologies Corporation (the "Company") as of June 30, 2023, the related consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss, changes in shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the year ended June 30, 2023, and the related notes (collectively, the "consolidated financial statements"). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2023 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended June 30, 2023, in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board ("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 audit 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 consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Independent Auditor's Report
To the Shareholders of Sangoma Technologies Corporation:
Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Sangoma Technologies Corporation and its subsidiaries (the “Company”), which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as at June 30, 2022, June 30, 2021, and July 1, 2020, and the consolidated statements of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss), changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the years ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as at June 30, 2022, June 30, 2021, and July 1, 2020, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021 in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audits of the consolidated financial statements in Canada, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Emphasis of Matter – Change in Accounting Policy
As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has elected to change its presentation currency from the Canadian dollar to the US dollar effective July 1, 2021. This change has been retrospectively applied. The statement of financial position as of July 1, 2020 has been included pursuant to the requirements of International Financial Reporting Standards.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Acquisition of NetFortris Corporation
Key Audit Matter Description
As described in Note 20(c) to the consolidated financial statements, on March 28, 2022, the Company completed its acquisition of NetFortris Corporation for a total purchase price of $64,820 (in thousands). The identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed are measured at fair value as of the acquisition date. Where the net of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities
assumed is less than the fair value of consideration transferred, the difference is accounted for as goodwill. In assessing fair value of the acquired assets, management used various valuation techniques involving significant judgement and subjectivity.
We considered this to be a key audit matter due to the complexity of the transaction, which included valuation of the acquired intangible assets. This resulted in a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity and effort in performing procedures and evaluating the audit evidence related to management's estimates. As such, an increased extent of audit effort was required, which included the involvement of internal valuation specialists.
Audit Response
We responded to this matter by performing procedures over management's valuation techniques in determining fair value of the acquired assets and in determining goodwill. Our audit work in relation to this included, but was not limited to, the following:
•Analyzed the signed purchase agreement to obtain an understanding of the key terms and conditions and to identify the necessary accounting considerations.
•Tested the mathematical accuracy of management's valuation models and supporting calculations.
•Evaluated the fair value of the consideration transferred including the fair value of common shares and consideration payable.
•Evaluated the reasonableness of key assumptions in management's models, including testing of historical financial results that were used as a basis for future projections.
•Assessed the appropriateness of the disclosures relating to the assumptions used in the acquisition in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.
•With the assistance of internal valuation specialists, evaluated the reasonableness of management's model, through assessing the appropriateness of valuation models used and testing the significant assumptions and inputs by:
oComparing to externally available industry and economic trends;
oEvaluating budgets and forecasts for future operations; and
oComparing against guideline companies within the same industry.
Impairment Analysis of Goodwill and Long-Lived Assets
Key Audit Matter Description
We draw attention to Notes 7, 8, 9 and 12 to the consolidated financial statements. The Company has recorded goodwill, property and equipment, right-of-use assets and intangibles assets of USD $428,626 (in thousands) as of June 30, 2022. The Company performs impairment testing for goodwill and long-lived assets on an annual basis or more frequently when there is an indication of impairment. An impairment is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset, or its cash generating unit (CGU), exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of an asset is the greater of its value-in-use and its fair value less costs to sell. In determining the estimated recoverable amounts, the Company’s significant assumptions include future cash flows based on expected operating results, long term growth rates, the revenue exit multiple, and the discount rate.
6
We considered this a key audit matter due to the significant judgment made by management in estimating the recoverable amount for goodwill and long-lived assets and a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity and effort in performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence relating to management’s estimates. This resulted in an increased extent of audit effort, including the involvement of internal valuation specialists.
Audit Response
We responded to this matter by performing procedures over the impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets. Our audit work in relation to this included, but was not limited to, the following:
•Tested management’s key assumptions, including performing a ‘retrospective review’ to compare management’s assumptions in the prior year expected future cash flows to the actual results to assess the accuracy of the Company’s budgeting process.
•Evaluated the reasonableness of key assumptions in the impairment model, including future cash flows based on expected operating results, long-term growth rates, the revenue exit multiple, and the discount rate.
•Tested the mathematical accuracy of management’s impairment model and supporting calculations.
•Assessed the appropriateness of the disclosures relating to the assumptions used in the impairment assessment in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.
•With the assistance of internal valuation specialists, evaluated the reasonableness of the Company’s impairment model, which included:
oEvaluating the reasonableness of the discount rate and revenue exit multiple by comparing the Company’s weighted average cost of capital and revenue exit multiple against publicly available market data;
oDeveloping a range of independent estimates and comparing those to the discount rate selected by management; and
oPerforming a sensitivity analysis of the recoverable amount of the CGU by varying the weighted average cost of capital and the revenue exit multiple.
Other Information
Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises:
•Management’s Discussion and Analysis; and
•The information, other than the consolidated financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon, in the Annual Report on Form 40-F.
Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audits of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audits or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. We obtained Management’s Discussion and Analysis and the Annual Report on Form 40-F prior to the date of this auditor’s report. If, based on the work we have performed on this other information, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
7
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
•Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
•Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control.
•Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
•Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
•Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
8
•Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audits and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audits.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor's report is Ajmer Singh Sran.

Recognition and initial measurement
The Company recognizes financial assets when it becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets are measured initially at their fair value plus, in the case of financial assets not subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to their acquisition. Transaction costs attributable to the acquisition of financial assets subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss are expensed in profit or loss when incurred.
Classification and subsequent measurement
On initial recognition, financial assets are classified as subsequently measured at amortized cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”) or fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”). The Company determines the classification of its financial assets, together with any embedded derivatives, based on the business model for managing the financial assets and their contractual cash flow characteristics.
Financial assets are classified as follows:
•Amortized cost - Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest are measured at amortized cost. Interest revenue is calculated using the effective interest method and gains or losses arising from impairment, foreign exchange and derecognition are recognized in profit or loss. Financial assets measured at amortized cost are comprised of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, contract assets and other current assets.
•Fair value through other comprehensive income - Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows and for selling the financial assets, and for which the contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest, are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. Interest income calculated using the effective interest method and gains or losses arising from impairment and foreign exchange are recognized in profit or loss.
All other changes in the carrying amount of the financial assets are recognized in other comprehensive income. Upon derecognition, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income is reclassified to profit or loss. The Company does not hold any financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income.
•Mandatorily at fair value through profit or loss - Assets that do not meet the criteria to be measured at amortized cost, or fair value through other comprehensive income, are measured at fair value through profit or loss. All interest income and changes in the financial assets’ carrying amount are recognized in profit or loss. The Company does not hold any financial assets mandatorily measured at fair value through profit or loss.
•Designated at fair value through profit or loss – On initial recognition, the Company may irrevocably designate a financial asset to be measured at fair value through profit or loss in order to eliminate or significantly reduce an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise from measuring assets or liabilities, or recognizing the gains and losses on them, on different bases. All interest income and changes in the financial assets’ carrying amount are recognized in profit or loss. The Company does not hold any financial assets designated to be measured at fair value through profit or loss.
Classification and subsequent measurement
The Company measures all equity investments at fair value. Changes in fair value are recorded in profit or loss.

The Company assesses the objective of its business model for holding a financial asset at a level of aggregation which best reflects the way the business is managed, and information is provided to management. Information considered in this assessment includes stated policies and objectives.
Contractual cash flow assessment
The cash flows of financial assets are assessed as to whether they are solely payments of principal and interest on the basis of their contractual terms. For this purpose, ‘principal’ is defined as the fair value of the financial asset on initial recognition. ‘Interest’ is defined as consideration for the time value of money, the credit risk associated with the principal amount outstanding, and other basic lending risks and costs. In performing this assessment, the Company considers factors that would alter the timing and amount of cash flows such as prepayment and extension features, terms that might limit the Company’s claim to cash flows, and any features that modify consideration for the time value of money.
Impairment
The Company recognizes a loss allowance for the expected credit losses associated with its financial assets, other than financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss. Expected credit losses are measured to reflect a probability-weighted amount, the time value of money, and reasonable and supportable information regarding past events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions. The Company applies the simplified approach for trade receivables. Using the simplified approach, the Company records a loss allowance equal to the expected credit losses resulting from all possible default events over the assets’ contractual lifetime.
The Company assesses whether a financial asset is credit-impaired at the reporting date. Regular indicators that a financial instrument is credit-impaired include significant financial difficulties as evidenced through borrowing patterns or observed balances in other accounts and breaches of borrowing contracts such as default events or breaches of borrowing covenants.
For financial assets assessed as credit-impaired at the reporting date, the Company continues to recognize a loss allowance equal to lifetime expected credit losses.
For financial assets measured at amortized cost, loss allowances for expected credit losses are presented in the consolidated statements of financial position as a deduction from the gross carrying amount of the financial asset. Financial assets are written off when the Company has no reasonable expectations of recovering all or any portion thereof.
Derecognition of financial assets
The Company derecognizes a financial asset when its contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire.
Non-Derivative Financial Liabilities
Recognition and initial measurement
The Company recognizes a financial liability when it becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. At initial recognition, the Company measures financial liabilities at their fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to their issuance, with the exception of financial liabilities subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss for which transaction costs are immediately recorded in profit or loss.

Where an instrument contains both a liability and equity component, these components are recognized separately based on the substance of the instrument, with the liability component measured initially at fair value and the equity component assigned the residual amount.
Classification and subsequent measurement
Subsequent to initial recognition, all financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Interest, gains and losses relating to a financial liability are recognized in profit or loss.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
The Company derecognizes a financial liability only when its contractual obligations are discharged, cancelled or expire.
Derivative Financial Liabilities
The Company holds interest rate swaps to hedge its interest rate risk exposures on the variable-interest credit arrangement. At the inception of the hedging relationship, there is formal designation and documentation prepared by the Company of the hedging relationship between the hedging instruments and hedged items and the risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge including how the Company will assess whether the hedging relationship meets the hedge effectiveness requirements. The Company assesses at the inception of the hedging relationship, and on ongoing basis, whether the hedging relationship meets the hedge effectiveness requirements.
Recognition and initial measurement
The Company recognizes interest rate swaps at fair value initially; attributable transaction costs are recognized in comprehensive loss as incurred.

amount of a replaced asset is derecognized when replaced. Repairs and maintenance costs are charged to the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss during the period in which they are incurred.
Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis for all classes of property and equipment over their useful life as outlined below:
| Leasehold improvements, tradeshow equipment, software and books | |||||
| Office furniture and computer equipment | |||||
| Stockroom and production equipment | |||||
Residual values, method of depreciation and useful lives of the assets are reviewed annually and adjusted, if required.
(vi) Leases
At commencement of the contract, the Company evaluates if the contract is a lease based on whether the contract conveys the right to control the use of a specific asset for a period of time in exchange for a consideration. To determine whether the contract results in right of control, the Company assesses whether it has both the right to direct the identified asset’s use and to obtain substantially all the economic benefits from that use.
Once the Company has determined that the contract conveys the right to control the use of the asset, the Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date.
The asset is initially measured at cost which comprises of the lease liability, lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives. Subsequently the asset is measured at net carrying value, which is cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liability. The assets are depreciated to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the lease term using the straight-line method as this most closely reflects the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits. The lease term includes periods covered by an option to extend if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise that option.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the future lease payments discounted using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate. Subsequently, the lease liability is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, or if the Company changes its assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option.
The Company applies recognition exemptions for short-term leases (leases with term less than 12 months) and low-dollar value leases.
(vii) Intangible assets

initial recognition, such intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortization on a straight-line basis over the following periods:
| Purchased technology | |||||
| Customer relationships | |||||
| Brand | |||||
| Other purchased intangibles | |||||
Amortization expense is included in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss in general and administration expense.
The estimated useful life and amortization method are reviewed annually, with the effect of any change in estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis. These assets are subject to impairment testing as described below in Note 2(xviii).
(viii) Revenue recognision
The Company derives its revenues primarily from services and subscriptions, sale of products, and professional services. Revenues are recognized when control of these services is transferred to the customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for products and services.
The Company determines revenue recognition through the following steps:
•Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer;
•Identification of the performance obligations in the contract;
•Determination of the transaction price;
•Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract
•Recognition of revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation.
The Company recognizes revenues as follows:
Product revenue
Product revenue primarily includes revenue generated from sale of pre-configured phones, connectivity hardware and professional implementation services.
Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control to the customer which is generally upon shipment from the Company’s warehouse.
Services revenue
Services revenue is generated from fees that provide customers access to one or more of the Company’s software applications and related services and the rental for the hardware required to deliver these services. These arrangements have contractual terms typically ranging from one month to seven years and include recurring fixed fee subscription fees, variable usage-based fees for usage in excess of plan limits, one-time fees, recurring license and other fees, derived from sales through our direct and indirect sales channels, including resellers and distributors.
Arrangements with customers do not provide the customer with the right to take possession of the Company’s software at any time. Instead, customers are granted continuous access to the services over the contractual period. The Company transfers control evenly over the contractual period by providing stand-ready service. Accordingly, the fixed consideration related to subscription is recognized over time on a straight-line basis over the contract term beginning on the date the Company’s service is made available to the customer. The Company may offer from time to time its customers, services for no consideration during the initial months. Such discounts are recognized ratably over the term of the contract.
Fees for additional minutes of usage in excess of plan limits are deemed to be variable consideration that meet the allocation exception for variable consideration as they are specific to the month that the usage occurs.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements | ||
For the years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 | ||
(in thousands of US dollars, except per share data) | ||
The Company’s subscription contracts typically allow the customers to terminate their services within the first 30 days and receive a refund for any amounts paid for the remaining contract period. After the end of the termination period, the contract is non-cancellable and the customer is obligated to pay for the remaining term of the contract. Accordingly, the Company considers the non-cancellable term of the contract to begin after the expiration of the 30 day termination period.
The Company records reductions to revenue for estimated sales returns and customer credits at the time the related revenue is recognized. Sales returns and customer credits are estimated based on the Company’s historical experience, current trends and the Company’s expectations regarding future experience. The Company monitors the accuracy of its sales reserve estimates by reviewing actual returns and credits and adjusts them for its future expectations to determine the adequacy of its current and future reserve needs. If actual future returns and credits differ from past experience, additional reserves may be required.
Principal vs. Agent
A portion of the Company’s revenues are generated through sales by resellers who offer add-ons which may not be controlled to the Company prior to transfer to the customer. The Company does not recognize any revenue for these add-ons.
However, when the Company controls the performance of these contractual obligations prior to the delivery to the customer, it records these revenues at the gross amount paid by the customer with amounts retained by the resellers recognized as sales and marketing expenses. The Company assesses control of goods or services when it is primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide the good or service, has inventory risk and has discretion in establishing the price.
(ix) Cost of sales
(x) Foreign currency
(xi) Interest income
(xii) Share-based payments
Under the Legacy Plan (as defined in note 17(ii)), the Company grants stock options to its employees. Stock options vest over and expire after various periods of time. The general vesting policy is 25 % of the options vest on the first anniversary of the grant and the remainder vest in equal amounts every 3 months thereafter until the fourth anniversary of the commencement date. The fair value of each tranche is measured at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Share-based compensation expense is recognized over the tranche’s vesting period based on the number of awards expected to vest. The number of awards expected to vest is reviewed at least annually, with any impact being recognized immediately.
On December 13, 2022, the Company adopted the Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), which replaces the Legacy Plan. No further grants will be made under the Legacy Plan.

| Sangoma Technologies Corporation | ||
Notes to the consolidated financial statements | ||
For the years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 | ||
(in thousands of US dollars, except per share data) | ||
Under the Omnibus Plan, the Company may grant participants Options, Performance Share Units (PSUs), Restricted Share Units (RSUs) and Deferred Share Units (DSUs). The PSUs, RSUs and DSUs are redeemable either for one common share or for an amount in cash equal to the fair market value of one common share (at the option of the Company and as set out in the participant’s equity award agreement). All PSUs, RSUs and DSUs are accounted for as equity-settled awards.
DSUs generally vest immediately and become redeemable once a director no longer serves on the board of the
Company. RSUs vest over a three-year period after the date of grant. The expense is measured based on the fair
value of the awards at the grant date.
PSUs vest in full at the end of a three-year period and the final amount is based 50 % on market-based performance
targets being met and 50 % on non-market-based performance targets, with the conversion ratio for vested PSUs
being from 0 % to 150 %. The expense related to the PSUs is measured (i) based on the fair value of the awards at the
grant date using the Monte Carlo simulation, with respect to the 50 % based on the market-based performance
targets, and (ii) based on the fair value of the awards at the grant date using the volume weighted average trading
price per share on the TSX during the immediately preceding five trading days.
(xiii) Income taxes and deferred taxes
The income tax provision comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognized in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity, in which case the income tax is also recognized directly in equity.
Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted, or substantively enacted, at the end of the reporting period, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.
Deferred tax is recognized in respect of temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. Deferred tax is determined on a non-discounted basis using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period and are expected to apply when the asset is realized or liability is settled. Deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses and other income tax deductions to the extent that it is probable the Company will have taxable loss against which those deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses and other income tax deductions can be utilized.
The extent to which deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses and other income tax deductions are expected to be realized is reassessed at the end of each reporting period.
In a business combination, temporary differences arise as a result of differences in the fair values of identifiable assets and liabilities acquired and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the tax effects of these differences. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognized for temporary differences arising from goodwill or from the initial recognition of assets and liabilities acquired in a transaction other than a business combination which do not affect either accounting or taxable income or loss.
(xiv) Research and development expenditures
The Company qualifies for certain investment tax credits related to its research and development activities in Canada. Research costs are expensed as incurred and are reduced by related investment tax credits, which are recognized when it is probable that they will be realized.
Costs that are directly attributable to the development phase of identified new products are recognized as intangible assets and amortized over a useful life of three years provided they meet the following recognition requirements:

•Completion of the intangible asset is technically feasible so that it will be available for use or sale.
•The Company intends to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it and also has the ability to use or sell it.
•The intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits. Among other things, this requires that there is a market for the output from the intangible asset or for the intangible asset itself, or, if it is to be used internally, the asset will be used in generating such benefits.
•There are adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the intangible asset.
•The expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development can be measured reliably.
Development costs not meeting these criteria for capitalization are expensed as incurred.
Directly attributable costs include employee costs incurred on software development along with an appropriate portion of relevant overheads and borrowing costs (if any). Internally generated software development costs recognized as intangible assets are subject to the same subsequent measurement method as externally acquired software licenses. These assets are subject to impairment testing as described below in Note 2(xviii).
Any gain or loss arising on the disposal of an intangible asset is determined as the difference between the proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognized in profit or loss within “other income” or “other expenses”.

(xx) Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings per share is computed similarly to basic earnings per share except that the weighted average number of shares outstanding is increased to include additional shares for the assumed exercise of stock options and warrants. The average number of shares is calculated by assuming that outstanding conversions were exercised and that the proceeds from such exercises were used to acquire common shares at the average market price during the reporting period.
Share consolidation (reverse stock split)
On November 2, 2021, the Company implemented a consolidation of its outstanding Common Shares (the “reverse stock split”) on the basis of one new Common Share for every seven currently outstanding Common Shares (the “Consolidation Ratio”). At the special meeting of the Company’s shareholders held on September 23, 2021, the Company’s shareholders granted the Company’s Board of Directors discretionary authority to implement a consolidation of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company on the basis of a consolidation ratio of up to 20 pre-consolidation common shares for one post-consolidation common share. The Board of Directors selected a share consolidation ratio of seven pre-consolidation common shares for one post-consolidation common share. The Company’s common shares began trading on the TSX on a post-consolidation basis under the Company’s

existing trade symbol "STC" on November 8, 2021. In accordance with IFRS, the change has been applied retrospectively.
The reverse stock split did not cause an adjustment to the par value or the authorized shares of the common stock. As a result of the reverse stock split, the Company further adjusted the share amounts and exercise prices under its option plans and outstanding options.
IAS 33 Earnings per Share (paragraph 64) requires retrospective adjustment of earnings per share for a reverse stock split that occurs subsequent to the balance sheet date but before the date of authorization of the consolidated financial statements. As a result, all disclosures of common shares, per common share data and data related to options in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and related notes reflect this reverse stock split for all years presented.

3. Significant accounting judgements, estimates and uncertainties
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and notes to the consolidated financial statements. These estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current events and actions the Company may undertake in the future. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to the accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised.
In December 2019, there was a global outbreak of coronavirus, identified as “COVID-19”, which has had a significant impact on businesses worldwide, and there continues to be uncertainty regarding the full impact, duration and pace of recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s operations and markets, due to the evolving nature of the virus and the global economic slowdown. Despite these uncertainties, the Company believes it is well equipped to handle the uncertainty and has taken several proactive steps in an attempt to better manage the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic including potential future impact on the Company’s assets, cash flows and liquidity, operations and financial reporting.

Significant areas requiring the Company to make estimates include goodwill impairment testing and recoverability of long-lived assets, business combinations, income taxes, estimated useful life of long-lived assets, internally generated development costs, the fair value of share-based payments, provision for expected credit losses, inventory obsolescence, investment tax credits receivable, warranty provision, sales returns and allowances provision, and stock rotation provision. These estimates and judgments are further discussed below:
(i)Goodwill impairment testing and recoverability of long-lived assets
Goodwill and long-lived assets are reviewed annually for impairment, or more frequently when there are indicators that impairment may have occurred, by comparing the carrying value to its recoverable amount. The recoverable amounts of the cash-generating unit was estimated based on an assessment of value in use using a discounted cash flow approach and fair value less costs to sell. The approach uses cash flow projections based upon a financial forecast approved by management, covering a four-year period. Cash flows for the years thereafter are extrapolated using the estimated terminal growth rate for value in use impairment analysis. Cash flows for the terminal period for fair value less costs to sell impairment analysis is determined using an exit multiple. The risk premiums expected by market participants related to uncertainties about the industry and assumptions relating to future cash flows may differ or change quickly, depending on economic conditions and other events.
(ii)Business combinations
In a business combination, all identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired are recorded at their fair values. One of the most significant estimates relates to the determination of the fair value of these assets and liabilities. For any intangible asset identified, depending on the type of intangible asset and the complexity of determining its fair value, an independent valuation expert or management may develop the fair value, using appropriate valuation techniques, which are generally based on a forecast of the total expected future net cash flows. The evaluations are linked closely to the assumptions made by management regarding the future performance of the assets concerned and any changes in the discount rate applied. All acquisitions have been accounted for using the acquisition method.
Certain fair values may be estimated at the acquisition date pending confirmation or completion of the valuation process. Where provisional values are used in accounting for a business combination, they may be adjusted retrospectively in subsequent periods. The measurement period ends as soon as the Company receives the information it was seeking about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date or learns that more information is not obtainable. However, the measurement period shall not exceed one year from the acquisition date.
(iii)Income taxes
At the end of each reporting period, the Company assesses whether the realization of deferred tax benefits is sufficiently probable to recognize deferred tax assets. This assessment requires the exercise of judgment on the part of management with respect to, among other things, benefits that could be realized from available income tax strategies and future taxable income, as well as other positive and negative factors. The recorded amount of total deferred tax assets could be reduced if estimates of projected future taxable income and benefits from available income tax strategies are lowered, or if changes in current income tax regulations are enacted that impose restrictions on the timing or extent of the Company’s ability to utilize deferred tax benefits.
The Company’s effective income tax rate can vary significantly period-to-period for various reasons, including the mix and volume of business in lower income tax jurisdictions and in jurisdictions for which no deferred income tax assets have been recognized because management believed it was not probable that future taxable profit would be available against which income tax losses and deductible temporary differences could be utilized.

(iv) Estimated useful lives of long-lived assets
Management reviews useful lives of depreciable assets at each reporting date. Management assessed that the useful lives represent the expected utilization in terms of duration of the assets to the Company. Actual utilization, however, may vary due to technical obsolescence, particularly relating to software and information technology equipment.
(v)Internally generated development costs
Management monitors the progress of internal research and development projects and uses judgment to distinguish research from the development phase. Expenditures during the research phase are expensed as incurred. Development costs are recognized as an intangible asset when the Company can demonstrate certain criteria listed in Note 2((xiv)). Otherwise, research and development costs are expensed as incurred.
(vi)Fair value of share-based payments
The fair value of all share-based payments granted are determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and Monte Carlo simulation which incorporates assumptions regarding risk-free interest rates, dividend yield, expected volatility, estimated forfeitures, and the expected life of the options. The Company has a significant number of options outstanding and expects to continue to make grants.
(vii)Provision for expected credit losses (“ECLs”)
The Company is exposed to credit risk associated with its trade receivables. This risk is reduced by having customers’ trade receivables insured by Export Development Canada (“EDC”) wherever possible. Management reviews the trade receivables at each reporting date in accordance with IFRS 9. The ECL model requires considerable judgment, including consideration of how changes in economic factors affect ECLs, which are determined on a probability-weighted basis. IFRS 9 outlines a three-stage approach to recognizing ECLs which is intended to reflect the increase in credit risks of a financial instrument based on 1) 12-month expected credit losses or 2) lifetime expected credit losses. The Company measures provision for ECLs at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs.
(viii)Inventory obsolescence
Inventory consists of parts and finished goods recorded at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Inventory represents a significant portion of the asset base of the Company and its value is reviewed at each reporting period. Inventories are written down to net realizable value when the cost of inventories is estimated to be unrecoverable due to obsolescence, damage or slow movement. Actual net realizable value can vary from the estimated provision.
(ix)Investment tax credits receivable
Investment tax credits are recorded based on management’s estimate that all conditions attached to its receipt have been met. The Company has significant investment tax credits receivable and expects to continue to apply for future tax credits as their research and development activities remain applicable. Therefore, the estimates related to the recoverability of these investment tax credits are important to the Company’s financial position.
(x)Warranty provision
The warranty provision represents management’s best estimate of costs of product and service warranties at the time the product is installed or delivered. Therefore, the estimates and assumptions related to costs of repairs and/or replacement costs to correct product failures impact the Company’s financial position.

(in thousands of US dollars, except per share data) | ||
(xi)Sales returns and allowances provision
The sales returns and allowances provision represent management’s best estimate of the value of the products sold in the current financial year that may be returned in a future year.
(xii)Stock rotation provision
The stock rotation provision represents management’s best estimate of the value of the products sold in the current financial year that may be rotated in a future year.
(xiii)Fair value of interest rate swaps
The estimated fair values of derivative instruments resulting in financial assets and liabilities, by their very nature, are subject to measurement uncertainty. The Company determines the fair value of interest rate swaps based on the present value of projected future cash flows using the implied zero-coupon forward swap yield curve. The change in the difference between the discounted cash flow streams for the hedged item and the hedging item is deemed to be hedge ineffectiveness and is recorded in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss. The fair value of the interest rate swap is based on forward yield curves, which are observable inputs provided by banks and available in other public data sources and are classified within Level 2.
(xiv)Contract costs
Contract costs include customer acquisition costs, which consist primarily of sales commissions paid to sales personnel. These costs are deferred as a contract cost asset as they are considered to be incremental costs incurred to obtain a customer contract and amortized on a straight-line basis over a period consistent with the pattern of transfer of the products and services to which the asset relate, including specifically identifiable expected renewals. The Company has determined this to be an average of 4.2 years. The Company uses judgement to determine the period of benefit by taking into consideration its customer contracts and customer life, life of its revenue generating platform technology and other factors.
4. Financial instruments
The fair values of the cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, contract assets, other current assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying values due to the relatively short-term nature of these financial instruments. The fair values of operating facility and loans approximate their carrying values due to variable interest loans or fixed rate loan, which represent market rate. Derivative assets and liabilities and consideration payable are recorded at fair value.
Cash and cash equivalents are comprised of:

The Company examines the various financial instrument risks to which it is exposed and assesses the impact and likelihood of those risks. These risks may include credit risk, liquidity risk, foreign currency risk, interest rate risk and market risk.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its obligations. Where possible, the Company uses an insurance policy with Export Development Canada (“EDC”) for its trade receivables to manage this risk and minimize any exposure.

During the year ended June 30, 2023, the parties finalized the working capital provision in respect of the acquisition of NetFortris and the company received $2,053 from the escrow account, consisting of $351 in cash and $1,702 in the form of 142,124 common shares. The remaining balance of $5,845 as at June 30, 2023 relates to certain indemnification assets recorded in respect of liabilities assumed on the acquisition of Netfortris (June 30, 2022 - $7,898 ).
The Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk for its trade receivables is summarized as follows with some of the over 90-day receivable not being covered by EDC:

The Company applies the simplified approach to provide for expected credit losses as prescribed by IFRS 9, which permits the use of the lifetime expected loss provision for all trade receivables and contract assets. The expected
credit loss provision is based on the Company’s historical collections and loss experience and incorporates forward-looking factors, where appropriate.
The provision matrix below shows the expected credit loss rate for each aging category of trade receivables.

Substantially all of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents are held with major Canadian and US financial institutions and thus the exposure to credit risk is considered insignificant. Management actively monitors the Company’s exposure to credit risk under its financial instruments, including with respect to trade receivables.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its obligations associated with financial liabilities. The Company has a planning and budgeting process in place by which it anticipates and determines the funds required to support its normal operating requirements. The Company coordinates this planning and budgeting process with its financing activities through its capital management process.

| Operating facility and loans | |||||||||||||||||

Foreign currency risk
A portion of the Company’s transactions occur in a foreign currency (Canadian Dollars (CAD), Euros (EUR), and Great British Pounds (GBP), Hong Kong Dollars (HKD), Indian Rupees (INR), Philippine Peso (PHP), Australian Dollar (AUD), and Columbia Peso (COP) , therefore, the Company is exposed to foreign currency risk at the end of the reporting period through its foreign denominated cash, trade receivables, contract assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and operating facility and loans. As at June 30, 2023, a 10 % depreciation or appreciation of the CAD, EUR, GBP, HKD, INR, PHP, AUD and COP currencies against the U.S. dollar would have resulted in an approximate $76 (June 30, 2022 - $59 ) increase or decrease, respectively, in total comprehensive loss.

There is no addition to goodwill for the year ended June 30, 2023.
The Company performed an annual impairment test for its single CGU as at June 30, 2023. The recoverable amount of the Company’s only CGU (“Sangoma”) was determined based on a fair value less costs to sell valuation model which used cash flow projections based on financial forecasts from management covering a four-year period and an after-tax discount rate of 20.0 % (pre-tax – 24.4 %) per annum. The terminal value beyond the four-year period was determined using an enterprise value to revenue exit multiple based on peer group valuations. The cash flow projections used in estimating the recoverable amount were generally consistent with results achieved historically adjusted for anticipated growth. The Company concluded that the carrying value of its Sangoma CGU was higher than the recoverable amount and a non-cash goodwill impairment charge totaling $22,507 was recognized in the year ended June 30, 2023 (year ended June 30, 2022 - $91,685 ). As at June 30, 2023, the carrying value of the Sangoma CGU was $288,551 and the recoverable amount was $266,044 giving rise to an impairment of $22,507 .
The Company performed sensitivities of key assumptions used in the impairment test at June 30, 2023 and determined that if all other assumptions were held constant:
•A 0.5 % increase or decrease in the after-tax discount rate would change the estimated fair value by $5,000 .
•A 10 % increase or decrease in the enterprise value to the revenue exit multiple used in determining the terminal value would change the estimated fair value by $20,000 .

15. Operating facility and loan and derivative assets and liabilities
(a) Operating facility and loan
(i)On October 18, 2019, the Company entered into a new loan facility with two banks and drew down $34,800 which is repayable in quarterly installment of $1,450 over 5 years on a straight line basis. Separately, as required under the agreement, the Company locked in half of the original loan amount by entering a 5-year interest rate credit swap with the two banks for $8,700 each. On March 28, 2022 the credit agreement was amended and the LIBOR rate was replaced with the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) and as at March 31, 2023 all loans were converted to SOFR based loans. The repayment schedule for the loan has not been impacted by these changes. The balance outstanding against this term loan facility as of June 30, 2023 is $13,050 (June 30, 2022 - $18,850 ). As at June 30, 2023, term loan facility balance of $5,800 (June 30, 2022 - $5,800 ) is classified as current and $7,250 (June 30, 2022 - $13,050 ) as long-term in the consolidated statements of financial position.
(ii)On March 31, 2021, the Company amended its term loan facility with its lenders and drew down a second loan of $52,500 to fund part of the acquisition of StarBlue Inc. At the time of the draw down of the additional amounts, the following amendments were made to the agreement:
•The provision for additional funding related to VoIP Innovations under the original agreement was no longer necessary and has been cancelled.
•The swingline facility was converted from CAD $2,000 to USD $1,500
•The revolver facility was converted from CAD $8,000 to USD $6,000
•The debt to equity ratio calculation now allows the Company to offset up to $10,000 of unrestrained funds against the outstanding amount of the debt.
The incremental draw is repayable, on a straight-line basis, through quarterly payments of $2,188 and is due to mature on December 31, 2024. As at June 30, 2023, $8,750 (June 30, 2022 - $8,750 ) of the incremental facility is classified as current and $24,063 (June 30, 2022 - $32,812 ) is classified as long-term in the consolidated statements of financial position.

(iii)On March 28, 2022, the Company amended its term loan facility with its lenders and drew down a third loan of $45,000 to fund part of the acquisition of NetFortris Corporation. At the time of the draw down of the additional amounts, the following amendments were made to the agreement: As at March 31, 2023 all loans were converted to SOFR based loans. The incremental draw is repayable, on a straight-line basis, through quarterly payments of $1,875 and is due to mature on March 28, 2027. On June 28, 2022, the Company amended its term loan facility with its lenders, the amended repayment for the first twelve quarterly payments of $788 and $2,963 thereafter. As at June 30, 2023, $3,150 (June 30, 2022 - $3,150 ) of the incremental facility is classified as current and $37,912 (June 30, 2022 - $41,063 ) is classified as long-term in the condensed consolidated statements of financial position.
(iv)On April 6, 2023 the Company further amended the term loan facility to reflect certain administrative amendments and to increase the amount of the revolving credit facility from $6,000 to $20,000 and the amount of the swingline credit facility from $1,500 to $5,000 . As of June 30, 2023, the amount of $13,900 (June 30, 2022 - $nil ) remains outstanding and is classified as long term in the consolidated statements of financial position.
Under its credit agreements with its lenders, the Company must satisfy certain financial covenants, principally in respect of total funded debt to earnings before interest, taxes and amortization (“EBITDA”), and debt service coverage ratio. As at June 30, 2023, and June 30, 2022 the Company was in compliance with all covenants related to its credit agreements.
(b) Derivative assets and liabilities
The Company uses derivative financial instruments to hedge its exposure to interest rate risks. All derivative financial instruments are recognized as either assets or liabilities at fair value on the consolidated statements of financial position. Upon entering into a hedging arrangement with an intent to apply hedge accounting, the Company formally documents the hedge relationship and designates the instrument for financial reporting purposes as a fair value hedge, a cash flow hedge, or a net investment hedge. When the Company determines that a derivative financial instrument qualifies as a cash flow hedge and is effective, the changes in fair value of the instrument are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax in the consolidated statements of financial position and will be reclassified to earnings when the hedged item affects earnings.
On January 21, 2020, the Company converted its US Base Rate loan to a one-month LIBOR loan plus the credit spread based on the syndicated loan agreement entered into on October 18, 2019. Separately, as required under the agreement, the Company locked in half of the original loan amount by entering into a 5 -year interest rate credit swap with the two banks for $8,700 each to manage its exposure to changes in LIBOR-based interest rates. As of March 31, 2023 this was converted to a SOFR. The interest rate swap hedges the variable cash flows associated with the borrowings under the loan facility, effectively providing a fixed rate of interest for five years of the six-year loan term.
The interest rate swap arrangement with two banks became effective on January 31, 2020, with a maturity date of December 31, 2024. The notional amount of the swap agreement at inception was $17,400 and decreases in line with the term of the loan facility. Effective March 31, 2022, Sangoma US Inc. entered into a fixed rate swap transaction worth $43,750 over a five year period and terminating on February 28, 2027. As of June 30, 2023, the notional amount of the interest rate swap was $39,621 (June 30, 2022 – $51,397 ). The interest rate

swap has a weighted average fixed rate of 1.80 % (June 30, 2022 – 1.80 %) and have been designated as an effective cash flow hedge and therefore qualifies for hedge accounting.
As at June 30, 2023, the fair value of the interest rate swap assets were valued at current of $1,218 (June 31, 2022 - $648 ) and non-current $768 (June 30, 2022 – $700 ). The current and non-current derivative assets were recording in the consolidated statements of financial position.

Stock Options
Under the Plan (and previously under the Legacy Plan), employees are periodically granted share options to purchase common shares at prices not less than the market price of the common shares on the day prior to the date of grant or the volume weighted average trading price per share on the TSX during the five trading days immediately preceding the grant date. The fair value of each option grant is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Expected volatility is determined by the amount the Corporation’s daily share price fluctuated over a period commensurate with the expected life of the options. During the year ended June 30, 2023, the Corporation did not grant any options (June 30, 2022 – 590,211 ).
