See the section titled "Definitions - Additional GAAP Measures and Non-GAAP Measures" for descriptions of Operating Income (loss), EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and the reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss) for the periods presented.

Telecom Investments

Adya's telecommunication investments services include full-service long distance, internet, business services and re-sale wireless services. It is one of the largest alternative telecommunications providers to both residential and business customers. Adya's wholly owned subsidiaries are registered with the Canadian Radio- Television and Telecommunications Commission ("CRTC") as a licensed Class "A" Telecom Carrier and with the American Federal Communications Commission ("FCC").

COVID-19

Adya has managed the impacts on its operations related to the COVID-19 crisis to ensure that it could pursue its operations and serve its customers as an essential service provider in the areas to where it operates. Given the quick spread of COVID-19 and an increase in countries imposing restrictions on movement, business and personnel required more time at home and more usage of data for work and leisure, resulting in less impact on the Telecom sector than others given the need to stay connected remotely. Direct negative impact has been on the travel segment of our business (Iroam). The Company is also undertaking to launch new products and services to replace lost revenues. As a technology company, Adya already had in place the ability for our workforce to work remotely. However, our staff do require access to our data centers and network for maintenance. Additionally, customer equipment needs to be configured and tested before it is shipped. These activities are now either performed through staff rotation to minimize contact or at employee homes.

In the longer term there are some clear areas where Adya will be focusing its energy. Our Enterprise customer base is already undergoing a notable shift in work patterns to working from home. As such, our customers will be looking for solutions which allow them to collaborate remotely while ensuring security of data with remote workers. These are areas we are further investing in to help serve new emerging customer needs as a result of COVID. Our existing vendor and customer relationships as well as investments in developing such solutions means we will be well positioned to serve the new needs of our existing and new customers.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

The following discussion of the Company's financial performance is based on the condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

As at June 30, 2022, the Company had a cash and cash equivalents balance of $57,526 (December 31, 2021 - $96,060) and total current assets of $920,558 (December 31, 2021 - $883,504).

Long term assets consisted of right-of-use assets (for leased premises), property and equipment and intangible assets. As at June 30, 2022, long term assets totaled $353,968 down from $499,156 at December 31, 2021 as the result of deprecation of ROUs, property and equipment and intangible assets.

Current liabilities increased to $2,926,124 at June 30, 2022 from $2,418,795 at December 31, 2021, mainly as a result of an increase in accounts payables, and amounts due to related party.

As at June 30, 2022, long term liabilities totaled $820,300 (December 31, 2021 - $918,502) and consisted of a $640,799 note payable due to Iristel (December 31, 2021 - $640,799), lease liabilities of $119,501 (December 31, 2021 - $217,703) and CEBA (government of Canada) loan of $60,000 (December 31, 2021 - $40,000).

Revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 was $1,067,121 and $2,186,533, compared to $1,222,074 and $2,461,243 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. Net loss and comprehensive

loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 was $252,760 and $517,260 compared to $219,984 and $359,613 for the same periods in 2021.

Revenue

Revenues are earned from the access to, and the use of, Adya's telecommunications network and infrastructure. Numerous types of telecommunications services are sold and packaged in different forms, which includes casual calling, subscriptions, wireless solutions, wholesale, Business Services, VoIP Home Phone, and prepaid calling cards.

The decline in revenue is mainly attributed to the decline in casual calling and long-distance, as these markets have continued to be highly competitive. Customers are receiving strong offers from their existing providers to stay with low long-distance rate calling offers and there has been a transition to other technologies for long distance communication. The decrease is in line with market trends.

Sales attributable to each major revenue stream is as follows:

The Company is also working to add to other product lines and services to offer more opportunities for additional sales and gross margin in 2022 and beyond.

Outlook

On the product and marketing side, the Company will focus on growing the business services unit by targeting niche and underserved customers while utilizing the Company's Metaswitch that offers carrier-grade quality services. The Company will also, establish distribution partners outside Ontario and Quebec with an engagement program for agents and wholesalers.

Additionally, to offset the declines in LD, the Company interconnected with both Bell and Rogers to offer Internet services. Residential product focus for 2021 offered improved Internet (DSL & Cable), along with HomePhone/Internet/IPTV bundle packages, and continues into 2022. The bundle offerings allow the Company to cross-sell to our large embedded customer base in Ontario & Quebec, and attract a different type of customer demographics than our current base.

Continuing in 2022, the Company leverages its Philippines call centre to increase the focus on providing onshore and offshore outsourcing for inbound and outbound call center services. This includes customer service, telemarketing, customer retention, billing collection, and technical support.
