INTRODUCTION

 

As used
in this Annual Report on Form 20-F, unless the context otherwise indicates, the terms “we”, “us”, “our”,
“ZIM”, the “Registrant” or the “Company” mean ZIM Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries,
Advanced Internet Inc. (AIS), ZIM Technologies do Brazil Ltda, and NuvoBio Corporation.

 

All references
to dollars ($) in this Annual Report on Form 20-F are expressed in United States dollars, unless otherwise indicated.

 

FORWARD-LOOKING
INFORMATION

 

This Annual
Report on Form 20-F contains certain “forward looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which can be identified by terminology such as
“planned,” “expected,” “will,” “potential,” “pipeline,” “outlook,” “anticipates,”
“intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “ estimates,” or similar expressions,
or by express or implied discussions regarding our business, financial condition, results of operations, controls and procedures, and
prospects that are based on our current expectations, estimates and projections. These statements are not guarantees of future performance,
and are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. As a result, actual outcomes and results may differ
materially from the outcomes and results discussed in or anticipated by the forward-looking statements. All such statements are therefore
qualified in their entirety by reference to the factors specifically addressed in the section entitled “Risk Factors” as well
as those discussed elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 20-F. We operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New
risks can arise and it is not possible for management to predict all such risks, nor can it assess the impact of all such risks on our
business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained
in any forward-looking statements. Given these risks and uncertainties, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking
statements as a prediction of actual results. All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Annual Report on Form
20-F. We undertake no obligation to revise or update publicly any forward-looking statements in order to reflect any event or circumstance
that may arise after the date of this Annual Report on Form 20-F, other than as required by law.

Risk Factors

 

You should
carefully consider the risks set forth directly below, and other cautionary statements throughout this report. If any event arising from
these risks occurs, our business prospects, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be materially adversely affected.

 

RISKS
RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS

 

BECAUSE
THE REVENUE AND INCOME POTENTIAL OF OUR BUSINESS AND MARKETS ARE UNPROVEN, WE CANNOT PREDICT WHETHER WE WILL MEET INTERNAL OR EXTERNAL
EXPECTATIONS OF FUTURE PERFORMANCE.

 

Our future
success depends on our ability to discover new and innovative biotechnology and biotechnology products. Given the very early stage of
our research, there are no guarantees that we will be successful in this discovery.

 

OUR FINANCIAL
AND OPERATING PERFORMANCE MAY BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED BY EPIDEMICS, NATURAL DISASTERS AND OTHER CATASTROPHES.

 

Our financial
and operating performance may be adversely affected by epidemics such as the on-going COVID-19 pandemic, natural disasters and other
catastrophes. Our business could be materially and adversely affected in the event that the slowdown or suspension carries on for a long
period of time. The restrictive measures against the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak adversely affected and slowed down national economic development.
Any prolonged restrictive measures in order to control the contagious disease or other adverse public health developments in may have
a material and adverse effect on our business operations.

 

Similarly,
natural disasters, wars (including the potential of war), terrorist activity (including threats of terrorist activity), social unrest
and heightened travel security measures instituted in response, and travel-related accidents, as well as geopolitical uncertainty and
international conflict, may in turn have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations. In addition, we may not
be adequately prepared in contingency planning or recovery capability in relation to a major incident or crisis, and as a result, our
operational continuity may be adversely and materially affected, which in turn may harm our reputation.

 

 

 

THE COVID-19
PANDEMIC HAS ADVERSELY IMPACTED, AND POSES RISKS TO, OUR BUSINESS, THE NATURE AND EXTENT OF WHICH ARE HIGHLY UNCERTAIN AND UNPREDICTABLE.

 

The continued
global spread of COVID-19 has led to disruption and volatility in the global capital markets, which has increased the cost of, and adversely
impacted access to, capital (including the commercial paper markets) and increased economic uncertainty. It is likely that the pandemic
will cause an economic slowdown of potentially extended duration, and it is possible that it could cause a global recession.

 

COVID-19
is adversely affecting, and is expected to continue to adversely affect, certain elements of our business, including as a result of impacts
associated with preventive and precautionary measures that we, other businesses, our communities and governments are taking. Due to these
impacts and measures, we have experienced and expect to continue to experience delays in our research activities.

 

In addition
to existing travel restrictions, jurisdictions may continue to close borders, impose prolonged quarantines and further restrict travel
and business activity, which could significantly impact our ability to conduct research. Due to the speed with which the COVID-19 situation
is developing, the global breadth of its spread and the range of governmental and community reactions thereto, there is uncertainty around
its duration and ultimate impact; therefore, any negative impact on our overall financial and operating results (including without limitation
our liquidity) cannot be reasonably estimated at this time, but the pandemic could lead to extended disruption of economic activity and
the impact on our financial and operating results could be material.

 

Negative
economic conditions may also cause debtors to delay and withhold payments to ZIM as a follow through of the negative economic conditions
they are experiencing due to COVOV-19. The extent to which COVID-19 impacts our business will depend on future developments, which are
highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19 and the actions
to contain COVID-19 or treat its impact, among others.

 

IF WE ARE
UNABLE TO OBTAIN ADDITIONAL FUNDS, WHEN REQUIRED, IN A TIMELY MANNER OR ON ACCEPTABLE TERMS, WE MAY HAVE TO CURTAIL OR SUSPEND CERTAIN
ASPECTS OF OUR BUSINESS OPERATIONS, WHICH COULD HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR BUSINESS RELATIONSHIPS, FINANCIAL RESULTS, FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND PROSPECTS.

 

We anticipate
that our cash and cash equivalents balance at March 31, 2021 of $213,324 will be sufficient to meet our present operating and capital
expenditures through fiscal year 2022. There is no guarantee that unanticipated circumstances will not require additional liquidity.

 

Future
liquidity and cash requirements will depend on a wide range of factors including the level of success the Company has in executing its
strategic plan as well as its ability to raise additional financing. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the Company will be
able to meet its working capital needs for any future period.

 

THE LOSS
OF THE SERVICES OF DR. MICHAEL COWPLAND, MR. JAMES STECHYSON AND OTHER KEY PERSONNEL COULD NEGATIVELY AFFECT OUR BUSINESS.

 

We currently
depend heavily on the services of Dr. Michael Cowpland and Mr. James Stechyson. The loss of the services of Dr. Cowpland, Mr. Stechyson
or other key personnel could affect our performance in a material and adverse way.

 

 

 

OUR
INTERNAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING ARE NOT EFFECTIVE.

 

We did
not have effective internal control procedures in place at March 31, 2021, when we evaluated our internal control over financial reporting
under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. This could affect the reliability of our consolidated financial statements. We are
attempting to remedy our weaknesses but as a small company we have limited resources to employ for this purpose. See Item 15 of this
Form 20-F for additional information on our attempts to rectify our weaknesses. The reduction of the risk will require additional expenses
and use of management’s time.

 

 

OUR STRATEGIC
DIRECTION IS EVOLVING, WHICH COULD NEGATIVELY AFFECT OUR FUTURE RESULTS.

 

Since
inception, our business model has evolved and continues to evolve as we refine our offerings and market focus. Prior to 2004, we focused
on developing
products and services for the wireless data network infrastructure
known as “SMS” or “text messaging”, in 2004 through to fiscal year 2007 we focused
on our SMS aggregation services. From fiscal years 2008 to 2012, we focused on offering mobile content, applications development and
the development of new IDE software. In 2013 we discontinued mobile content sales due to very low sales volume and redirected resources
related to mobile content to the continued development of our IDE software. In 2020 we sold the business and assets related to our databases
business and, due to uncertain sales, discontinued our SMS business. At the end of fiscal year 2021 we have ceased all revenue generating
operations and have focused solely on the research activities in our NuvoBio subsidiary. We continue to evaluate opportunities and alternative
strategies in a rapidly evolving market. We plan to leverage our intellectual capital, core technologies and other business assets to
focus on new strategic directions and attempt to maximize shareholder value mainly through our NuvoBio subsidiary. Changes to our business
may not prove successful in the short or long term and may negatively impact our financial results.

 

WE OPERATE
IN RAPIDLY EVOLVING MARKETS, AND OUR BUSINESS MODEL CONTINUES TO EVOLVE, WHICH MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO EVALUATE OUR FUTURE PROSPECTS.

 

Our potential
for future profitability must be considered in the light of the risks, uncertainties, and difficulties encountered by companies that
are in rapidly evolving markets and continuing to innovate with new and unproven technologies or services, as well as undergoing significant
change. In addition to the other risks we describe in this section, some of these risks relate to our potential inability to attract
and retain unique and sought after technology; to control expenditures and to respond quickly and appropriately to industry developments,
including rapid technological change; changes in customer requirements; and new products introduced into our markets by our competitors.
If we do not effectively address the risks we face, we may not achieve profitability.

 

IF WE ARE
UNABLE TO MANAGE THE INTEGRATION OF ANY ACQUIRED BUSINESSES, OUR FINANCIAL CONDITION AND OPERATING RESULTS MAY BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED.

 

A failure
to effectively manage the integration of any acquisitions we may make may adversely affect our business and financial condition. Any
acquisition that we make will place significant demand on management, technical and other resources.

 

WE HAVE
AFFILIATED SHAREHOLDERS WHO CAN SUBSTANTIALLY INFLUENCE THE OUTCOME OF ALL MATTERS VOTED UPON BY OUR SHAREHOLDERS AND WHOSE INTERESTS
MAY NOT BE ALIGNED WITH YOURS.

 

 

 

The beneficial
ownership of our Chief Executive Officer and related parties in our outstanding shares is approximately 53%. All directors and executive
officers as a group (5 persons) beneficially hold 6,122,299 of our common shares, which totals approximately 75% of ownership. As a result,
our insiders are able to substantially influence all matters requiring the approval of our shareholders, including the election of directors
and the approval of significant corporate transactions such as acquisitions. This concentration of ownership could delay, defer or prevent
a change in control or otherwise impede a merger or other business combination that our Board of Directors or other shareholders may
view favorably.

 

ITEM 4. INFORMATION
ON THE COMPANY

 

History
and Development of the Company

 

ZIM’s
principal place of business and registered office is located at 150 Isabella Street, Suite 150, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, K1S 1V7 and
we can be contacted at (613) 727-1397. In the United States our agent is Equiniti, Inc., located at 3200 Cherry
Creek South Dr., #430, Denver, CO, 80209 and can be contacted at (303) 282-4800.

ZIM was
incorporated under the Canadian Business Corporations Act on October 17, 2002 in order to purchase ZIM Technologies International Inc.
(“ZIM Technologies”), which was formed in 1997 to acquire the software technology now called the ZIM Integrated Development
Environment (the “ZIM IDE software”). On February 10, 2004, ZIM purchased UK-based SMS service firms EPL Communications Limited
and E-Promotions Limited (together referred to as “EPL”). During the year ended March 31, 2006, EPL was dissolved and all operations
were transferred to ZIM Corporation in Canada. ZIM is also the sole shareholder of ZIM Technologies do Brazil Ltda., a company incorporated
in Brazil that distributes the ZIM IDE Software, and PCI Merge, Inc., a Florida based holding company with no operations. Until March
31, 2004, ZIM was the sole shareholder of ZIM Technologies, a Canadian federal corporation and the chief operating company of the ZIM
group of companies. On April 1, 2004, ZIM Corporation and ZIM Technologies amalgamated into ZIM Corporation. On April 1, 2006, ZIM purchased
a US-based mobile content company called Advanced Internet Inc. (“AIS”). In 2011 ZIM acquired the technology assets of Torch
Technologies and began offering an advanced portfolio of migration services and management products that strengthen and complement ZIM’s
enterprise database products. In April 2016, ZIM incorporated a wholly owned subsidiary called GeneSpans Corporation.
GeneSpans is focused on developing intellectual property and advancing research and development in the areas of new synthetic
drugs and immunotherapies. Genespans name was changed to NuvoBio Corporation on August 25, 2016.

 

In 2013
we discontinued mobile content sales due to very low sales volume and redirected resources related to mobile content to the continued
development of our IDE software. In April 2020 ZIM sold the business and assets related to our databases business and, due to uncertain
sales, discontinued our SMS business on December 31, 2020. At the end of fiscal year 2021 we have ceased all revenue generating operations
and have focused solely on the research activities in our NuvoBio subsidiary.

Business
Overview

 

ZIM started
operations as a developer and provider of database software known as ZIM IDE software.  ZIM IDE software is used by companies
in the design, development, and management of information databases and mission critical applications.  

 

Beginning
in 2002, the Company expanded its business strategy to include opportunities associated with mobile products.  Prior to fiscal
year 2007, the Company focused on developing products and services for the wireless data network infrastructure known as “SMS”
or “text messaging”.  Although SMS will continue to provide a minimal amount of revenue within the mobile segment
of operations, with the acquisition of AIS in 2006 the Company shifted its corporate focus to include offering mobile content directly
to end users.  

 

In fiscal
year 2020, ZIM continued to develop and sell enterprise database software to end users, as well as maintain its SMS messaging business.

 

In April
of 2020 the IDE software business and assets were sold to employees of the Company. In addition, due to low sales volumes, the SMS business
was discontinued on December 31, 2020.

 

Also, in 2018,
NuvoBio Corporation signed strategic partnerships and exclusive global licensing agreements with leading drug research institutes. The
company is currently funding research and development projects in the following areas:

 

 

New peptide-derived
inhibitors for therapeutic intervention against various cancer cell lines in the presence or absence of chemotherapeutics to characterize
the in vivo effects of promising inhibitors.

 

The following

SOFTWARE

 

Historically,
we were a developer and provider of the ZIM IDE software, which is used by companies in the design, development, and management of information
databases. We now license the ZIM IDE software products to customers through direct and partner sales.

 

The ZIM
IDE software provides an integrated development environment (IDE) for Microsoft Windows, UNIX and Linux computer operating systems. An
integrated development environment is a set of programs that run from a single user interface for use in the creation of applications
and management of databases. The ZIM IDE software was designed to handle complex data management in a more efficient manner than the
database technologies historically provided by other vendors. The distinctive characteristic of the ZIM IDE software is its object dictionary
which contains more than just a table of data. Instead, all relationships and data information are concurrently stored in the object
dictionary, making it easier to manage and retrieve information. Furthermore, ZIM IDE software uses data sets rather than record-by-record
access to manage information. This technique further simplifies the management of data.

 

The ZIM
IDE software has been used to develop database applications that have been deployed in a wide range of industries, including finance,
insurance, marketing, human resources, information and records management. Applications built with the ZIM IDE software also has full
access to most other major databases such as Oracle™ and SQL™ Server.

 

In
2011, ZIM acquired the technology assets of Torch Technologies and began offering an advanced portfolio of migration services and management
products that strengthen and complement ZIM’s enterprise database products. The combined product portfolio is a robust solution
to rapidly and cost effectively migrate existing databases to other industry databases including Oracle™ and SQL™ while
retaining valuable ZIM applications and providing a simplified database management suite.

In April
2020 the IDE software business and assets were sold to employees of the Company.

 

MOBILE

 

Our business
strategy previously involved designing mobile data software products to take advantage of the existing wireless data network infrastructure
known as Short Message Service. SMS, mobile messaging, or text messaging, as it is also known, enables users to communicate person to
person and application to person through cellular handsets and other SMS-enabled devices. The expertise we gained in the SMS infrastructure
and network allowed us to expand into the aggregation of SMS messages in 2004. Aggregators transmit a broad variety of messaging, content,
and applications worldwide. ZIM continues to provide a high-volume delivery infrastructure that is scalable with detailed reporting available
to our mobile content customers.

 

 

 

During
the year ended March 31, 2006, it became apparent that the SMS aggregation market was becoming consolidated, which made it increasingly
difficult for us to compete. We noticed a downward trend in sales of aggregation services by the end of the third quarter of fiscal year
2006 and decided to expand our product and service offerings. On April 1, 2006, we acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Advanced
Internet, Inc. (“AIS”), from Advanced Telecom Services, Inc. (“ATS”).

 

On December
31, 2020, due to low sales volumes, the Mobile business was discontinued.

 

CUSTOMERS

 

At the
end of fiscal year 2021 the Company ceased all revenue generating operations and consequently had no customers.

 

During
fiscal year 2020, we had 1 revenue generating customer in our mobile segment related to the SMS market. In addition, we had in excess
of 70 customers who utilized ZIM IDE to run their enterprise applications. One customer accounted for approximately 22% for the year
ended March 31, 2018, one customer accounted for approximately 18% of revenue for the year ended March 31, 2019 and one customer accounted
for approximately 20% of revenue for the year ended March 31, 2020.

 

RESEARCH
AND DEVELOPMENT

 

Our continuing
operations research and development activities focus in the area of genetic therapy solutions. Research and development expenditures,
net of refundable tax credits are estimated at $11,928 for fiscal year 2021, and $66,068 was received for fiscal year 2020 and $72,120
for fiscal year 2019.

 

PATENTS
AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY PROTECTION

Intellectual
property does not represent a material part of our assets or business strategy at this time. While we have filed two patents related
to our NuvoBio subsidiary, we do not rely on patents or copyrights and, to the extent we maintain trade secrets, we rely on confidentiality
agreements to protect them from misappropriation. In the future we may seek patents and intellectual property protection specifically
related to the drug research programs we are funding through our NuvoBio Corporation subsidiary.

ITEM 5. OPERATING
AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS

EXECUTIVE
SUMMARY

 

Continuing
Operations:

 

The continuing
operations of the business are focused on research and have no generation of revenue at the present time.

 

Net
loss from continuing operations for the fiscal year 2021 was $73,788 as compared to net income of $166,892 for the fiscal year 2020 and
net income of $535,127 for the fiscal year 2019. The increased income in fiscal year 2019 is due mainly to the adoption of FASB 2017-01
and the unrealized gain on equity securities of $604,013. 2020 net income is mainly due to the gains related to the disposition of assets
related to ZIM’s investment in CP4H. In fiscal 2021 the net loss from continuing operations is due to discontinuation of all revenue
generating operations coupled with the loss on the disposition of our database assets.

Discontinued
Operations:

 

In
April 2020, ZIM sold all of its assets related to the database and software business with an effective
date of April 1, 2020. The business was sold for cash consideration of $120,000 Canadian dollars to be paid in five installments
over 5 years. The fair market value of these payments is estimated at $78,924 US dollars. ZIM recognized a net gain on the sale of
these assets in the amount $223,549. The net gain is a combination of a loss on the sale of $348,455 netted against a currency
translation reversal of $572,004. This business has definable revenues and expenses and has been accounted for as a discontinued
operations as per ASU 2014-08.

At
December 31, 2020, ZIM ceased all operations related to the SMS messaging business due to low profit margins and uncertainty regarding
the future of the business. This business has definable revenues and expenses and has been accounted for as
a discontinued operations as per ASU 2014-08.

Revenue
from discontinued operations for the fiscal year 2021 was $45,248 compared with revenue of $347,509 for fiscal year 2020. The decrease
is attributable to the disposition of the database business in April of 2020 with an effective date of April 1, 2020 and the discontinuation
of the Mobile business on December 31, 2020.

 

Revenue
from discontinued operations for the fiscal year 2020 was $347,509, compared with revenue of $700,049 for fiscal year 2019. The decline
is attributable to the decreases across all lines of business ranging from a 52% decrease in our software, software maintenance and consulting
business to 44% in our mobile messaging business.

 

Net loss
from discontinued operations for the fiscal year 2021 was $2,780 as compared to net loss of $175,891 for the fiscal year 2020. The loss
in fiscal year 2021 is due mainly to the to the disposition of the database business in April of 2020 and the discontinuation of the
Mobile business on December 31, 2020.

 

Net
loss for the fiscal year 2020 was $175,891 as compared to net income of $168,389 for the fiscal year 2019. The decreased income in fiscal
year 2020 is due to declining revenue in all business segments while expenses stayed flat. The net gain is a combination of a loss on the sale of $348,455 netted
against a currency translation reversal of $572,004.

 

 

 

The
following is an overview of our operating results for the year ended March 31, 2021. A more detailed discussion of our operating results,
comparing our operating results for the years ended March 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, is included under the heading “
Results
of Operations for the Year Ended March 31, 2021 Compared to the Year Ended March 31, 2020 and 2019” of this “OPERATING AND
FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS.” A discussion on the effects of currency fluctuations can be found in Item 11.

 

Continuing
Operations:

 

The continuing
operations of the business are focused on research and have no generation of revenue at the present time.

 

Total operating
expenses from continuing operations for the year ended March 31, 2021 were $72,621 an increase of approximately $4,164 compared to operating
expenses of $68,457 for the year ended March 31, 2020 and a decrease of approximately $14,385 compared to operating expenses of $82,842
for the year ended March 31, 2019. The changes in expenses are a result of continual declines in selling, general and administrative
expenses paired with fluctuations in the expenses related to research.

 

Discontinued
Operations:

 

Revenue
from discontinued operations for the fiscal year 2021 was $45,248 compared with revenue of $347,509 for fiscal year 2020. The decrease
is attributable to the disposition of the database business in April of 2020 with an effective date of April 1, 2020 and the discontinuation
of the Mobile business on December 31, 2020.

 

Revenue
from discontinued operations for the fiscal year 2020 was $347,509, compared with revenue of $700,049 for fiscal year 2019. The decline
is attributable to the decreases across all lines of business ranging from a 52% decrease in our software, software maintenance and consulting
business to 44% in our mobile messaging business.

 

Total expenses
from discontinued operations for the year ended March 31, 2021 were $271,578, a decrease of approximately $251,822 compared to operating
expenses of $523,400 for the year ended March 31, 2020 and a decrease of approximately $8,260 compared to operating expenses of $531,660
for the year ended March 31, 2019. The rapid decline in expenses in fiscal 2021 is due to the sale of the database business and discontinuation
of all research and development related to IDE software.

 

CURRENT
STRATEGIC DIRECTION

 

Due to
the decrease in revenues from SMS aggregation services in previous years, we started exploring new opportunities both within the mobile
industry and enterprise application industry. In 2013 we discontinued mobile content sales due to very low
sales volume and on December 31, 2020 we discontinued sales of our SMS aggregation services.

 

 

 

In
2011, with ZIM’s acquisition of the technology assets of Torch Technologies, we increased our focus on the enterprise software
market. Torch’s advanced portfolio of migration services and management products strengthened and complemented ZIM’s enterprise
database products, and the combined product portfolio is a robust solution to rapidly and cost effectively migrate existing databases
to other industry databases including Oracle™ and SQL™ while retaining valuable ZIM applications and providing
a simplified database management suite. In April 2020, ZIM sold all of its assets related to the database
and software business to employees and discontinued this line of business.

In April 2016,
ZIM incorporated a wholly owned subsidiary called GeneSpans Corporation. GeneSpans will fund research into genetic therapy solutions.
Genespans name was changed to NuvoBio Corporation on August 25, 2016.

 

NuvoBio Corporation
has signed strategic partnerships and exclusive global licensing agreements with leading drug research institutes. The company is currently
funding research and development projects in the following areas:

   

 

New peptide-derived
inhibitors for therapeutic intervention against various cancer cell lines in the presence or absence of chemotherapeutics to characterize
the in vivo effects of promising inhibitors.

 

 

ZIM’s
current main strategic focus is the genetic therapy solutions being researched through NuvoBio Corporation.

 

RECENT
DEVELOPMENTS

The
COVID-19 Pandemic

We
are monitoring the global outbreak and spread of the novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) and taking steps in an effort to identify
and mitigate the adverse impacts on, and risks to, our business (including but not limited to our employees, customers and other business
partners, and) posed by its spread and the governmental and community reactions thereto. We continue to assess and update our business
continuity plans in the context of this pandemic, including taking steps in an effort to help keep our workforces healthy and safe. The
spread of COVID-19 has caused us to modify our business practices (including employee travel, employee work locations in certain cases,
and cancellation of physical participation in certain meetings, events and conferences), and we expect to take further actions as may
be required or recommended by government authorities or as we determine are in the best interests of our employees, customers and other
business partners. We are also working to understand the existing and possible future negative impacts to our infrastructure and take
actions in an effort to mitigate such impacts. Due to the speed with which the COVID-19 situation is developing, the global breadth of
its spread and the range of governmental and community reactions thereto, there is uncertainty around its duration and ultimate impact;
therefore, any negative impact on our overall financial and operating results (including without limitation our liquidity) cannot be
reasonably estimated at this time, but the pandemic could lead to extended disruption of economic activity and the impact on our financial
and operating results could be material. See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to our Business—The COVID-19 pandemic has
adversely impacted, and poses risks to, our business, the nature and extent of which are highly uncertain and unpredictable.”

CRITICAL
ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

 

We prepare
our consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, which requires
management to make certain estimates and apply judgments that affect reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses,
and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience, current trends,
and other factors that management believes to be important at the time the consolidated financial statements are prepared. Actual results
could differ from our estimates, and such differences could be material. On an ongoing basis, management reviews our accounting policies
and how they are applied and disclosed in our consolidated financial statements.

 

 

 

The following
supplemental information describes significant judgments and estimates involved in our critical accounting policies, which are more fully
described in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements included in this annual report.

 

JUDGMENTS
REGARDING TAX POSITIONS

 

The Company
recognizes in its consolidated financial statements the impact of a tax position if that position is more likely than not of not being
sustained on an audit, based on the technical merits of the position. Accordingly, management may be required to make additional judgments
regarding the accounting treatment of tax positions.

 

VALUATION
ALLOWANCES

 

We must
make certain estimates and judgments in determining the income tax expense for financial statement purposes. These estimates and judgments
occur in the calculation of certain tax assets and liabilities, which arise from differences in the timing of recognition of revenue
and expense for tax and financial statement purposes. Judgments regarding realization of deferred tax assets and the ultimate outcome
of tax-related contingencies represent key items involved in the determination of tax expense and related balance sheet accounts. We
have currently recorded a valuation allowance to reduce our deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized.
Should we determine that based on factors such as future profitability that a reduction in the valuation allowance is appropriate, an
adjustment to our deferred tax assets would increase income in the period that such determination was made.

 

REVENUE
RECOGNITION

The
Company derived revenue from two sources of discontinued operations: enterprise software, including maintenance and consulting services
and mobile services and applications. Enterprise software involves providing enterprise software for designing, developing and manipulating
database systems and applications. Mobile services involve providing SMS applications and services. The Company presents revenues net
of sales tax and other related taxes.

Enterprise
Software

ZIM
recorded revenues from the perpetual license of the Company’s software products and the sale of related maintenance and consulting. The
Company’s standard license agreement provides a license to use the Company’s products based on the number of licensed users. The Company
may license its software in performance obligation arrangements if the customer purchases any combination of maintenance, consulting
or training services in conjunction with the license.

The
Company recognized revenue pursuant to the requirements of the ASC 606. Revenue is recognized using the residual method when objective
evidence of fair value exists for all of the undelivered performance obligations in the arrangement, but does not exist for one or more
performance obligations. The Company allocates revenue to each undelivered performance obligation based on its respective fair value
determined by the price charged when that performance obligation is sold separately. The Company defers revenue for the undelivered performance
obligations and recognizes the residual amount of the arrangement fee, if any. The separate performance obligations of the arrangements
are considered to be separate units of accounting.

 

 

The
following steps are taken to recognize revenue:

1. Identification
on the contract(s) with the customer(s).
2. Identify
the performance obligations in the contract.
3. Determine
the transaction price.
4. Allocate
the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract.
5. Recognize
revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies the performance obligations.

 

The
Company recorded revenue as earned as evidenced by contracts or invoices for its services at prices established by contract, price list
and/or fee schedule less applicable discounts and the objective evidence that each performance obligation has been achieved. If at the
outset of an arrangement the Company determines that the collectability is not probable, revenue is deferred until payment is received.

Collectability
is assessed based on the collection history of the client, current economic trends, customer concentrations and customer credit worthiness.
Delivery of the software has occurred once the customer has accepted the product or has been provided with permanent keys to the file
transfer protocol (“FTP”) site. If an arrangement allows for customer acceptance of the software or services, the Company defers
revenue recognition until the earlier of customer acceptance or when the acceptance right lapses.

Maintenance
and Consulting Revenue

Maintenance
revenues was recognized using a time base approach equally over the term of the maintenance contract. The liability relating to the received
but unearned portion of maintenance revenues is recognized as deferred revenues.

Consulting
revenue, which represents services provided on a per diem basis to customers, was recognized as the services were performed as there
were no customer acceptance provisions involved in these types of arrangements. Consulting revenue, which represents services provided
on a fixed price basis to customers, was recognized upon achieving the related performance obligation.

In
general, credit terms of 30 days were extended to customers with a small number of customers receiving longer payment terms based on
the long-standing relationship with ZIM.

Mobile
Revenue

Aggregation
services occurred when ZIM sent messages from its content provider customers through mobile operators to end users on their cell phones.
In this situation, the Company contracted with its customers that cannot connect directly to the mobile operators and with the third-party
mobile operators or other aggregators directly for the transmission of the messages. The performance obligation was to transmit a message.
Revenues were recognized in the month in which the performance obligation was satisfied, provided no significant ZIM obligations remained.
We worked with aggregators to provide delivery routes and received statements and billing in real time. We prepaid for message credits
and billed customers for message delivery at the end of each month. We purchased service credits from the aggregators and billed our
customers directly for the delivery of messages on a monthly basis.

 

STOCK-BASED
COMPENSATION

 

ZIM measures
compensation cost for all stock-based awards at fair value on the date of the grant and recognizes compensation expense over the service
period for awards expected to vest. The fair value of stock options is determined using the Black Scholes valuation model and requires
judgment in establishing the volatility and option forfeiture rates. These internal judgments
may be incorrect in any period, which may result in our recording materially incorrect compensation expense
.

 

 

 

INVESTMENTS

 

ZIM measures
the value if its investments on a fair value basis. Investments are measured based on the observable price changes in orderly transactions
for the identical or similar investment of the same issuer. In the absence of observable price changes the alternative measurement basis
of cost less any impairments is used as a valuation methodology.

Revenue
from discontinued operations for the fiscal year 2021 was $45,248 compared with revenue of $347,509 for fiscal year 2020. The decrease
is attributable to the disposition of the database business in April of 2020 and the discontinuation of the Mobile business on December
31, 2020.

 

Revenue
from discontinued operations for the fiscal year 2020 was $347,509, compared with revenue of $700,049 for fiscal year 2019. The decline
is attributable to the decreases across all lines of business ranging from a 52% decrease in our software, software maintenance and consulting
business to 44% in our mobile messaging business.

 

 

 

DISCONTINUED
OPERATIONS REVENUE ANALYSIS BY SERVICE/PRODUCT OFFERING

 

BULK
SMS

 

In fiscal
year 2021 our revenue from bulk SMS messaging continued to decline as our cost to deliver the services increased. Due to the decrease
in volume and erosion of profit margins, ZIM discontinued its Bulk SMS messaging service with a revenue for fiscal 2021 of $45,248 as
compared to $68,701 for fiscal year 2020. Our bulk SMS messaging revenue increased from $104,485 in fiscal year 2018 to $122,638 in fiscal
year 2019 and then had a sharp decrease to $68,701 in fiscal year 2020. We experienced a decrease in the volume of messages transacted
through SMS routes in fiscal year 2020, as compared to the increases we experienced in fiscal year 2018 and fiscal year 2019. In general,
bulk messaging customers choose the aggregator that is offering the lowest cost route and this results in fluctuating and unpredictable
revenue from this segment.

 

SOFTWARE,
MAINTENANCE AND CONSULTING

 

In
April 2020, ZIM sold all of its assets related to the database and software business to employees and discontinued
this line of business.

Prior to
fiscal 2021 we generated revenues from the sale of our database product as well as the subsequent maintenance and consulting fees. Software
sales increased from $34,435 in fiscal year 2018 to $117,533 in fiscal year 2019 then decreased to a more historical level in 2020 of
$24,769 as compared to fiscal year 2018. The increase in 2020 reflects increased activity in our Canadian operation after the decline
we experienced in 2018.

 

In addition
to the sale of the software, we are generating revenue from software maintenance and consulting. Maintenance and consulting revenues
have also decreased substantially from $459,878 in fiscal year 2019 to $254,039 in fiscal year 2020. The decline in 2020 is also a decline
compared to the $360,322 in 2018. The spike in revenue in 2019 was due to the maintenance contract renewals from returning customers
in the Canadian operations.

2019 and fiscal year 2020 expenses remained stable. The rapid decline in expenses in fiscal 2021 is due to
the sale of the database business and discontinuation of all research and development related to IDE software. This is partially offset
by the increase in the cost of delivering SMS services.

Selling,
general and administrative expenses from continuing operations for the years ended March 31, 2021, March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019

ASSET
IMPAIRMENT

On
August 9, 2018 (fiscal year 2019), Connecting People for Health Co-operative Ltd. (CP4H) was acquired for an undisclosed amount. ZIM
recognized its portion of the proceeds, in the amount $220,233 as a gain on the sale of assets.

In
April 2020, ZIM sold all of its assets related to the database and software business to former employees with
an effective date of April 1, 2020 and discontinued this line of business. ZIM recognized a gain on the sale of these assets in the amount
$223,549. The net gain is a combination of a loss on the sale of $348,455 netted
against a currency translation reversal of $572,004.

 

 

INCOME
TAXES

 

Investment
tax credits on research and development expenditures from continuing operations in Canada are netted against research and development
costs from continuing operations as shown above.

 

Included
in income taxes from discontinued operations are taxes paid on income earned in Brazil. Investment tax credits on research and development
expenditures in Canada are netted against research and development costs. The increase in income taxes recoverable is due to increased
research and development tax credits related to database migration technologies.

 

The Scientific
Research and Development Credits received from the Canadian federal government for all operations were assessed as filed in fiscal years
2020, 2019 and 2018.

 

ADOPTED
ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

None.

RECENTLY
ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS – NOT YET ADOPTED

From
time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) or other standards
setting bodies that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the Company’s management
believes that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have any significant impact on the consolidated
financial statements upon adoption.

In
June 2016, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326).
This ASU represents a significant change in the Accounting for Credit Losses (“ACL”) accounting model by requiring immediate
recognition of management’s estimates of current expected credit losses (CECL). Under the prior model, losses were recognized only
as they were incurred, which FASB has noted delayed recognition of expected losses that might not yet have met the threshold of being
probable.
The new standard effective date for Smaller Reporting Companies
is fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact ASU 2016-13 will
have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

B.
Liquidity and Capital Resources

As at March
31, 2021, we had cash and cash equivalents of $213,324 and working capital of $298,330 as compared to cash of $429,824 and working capital
of $543,916 at March 31, 2020. As at March 31, 2019, we had cash and cash equivalents of $506,524 and working capital of $652,488.

Cash flows provided by financing activities     —         —         —    

 

Operating
activities consumed $109,293 of cash for the year ended March 31, 2021 as compared to consuming cash of $73,045 for the year ended March
31, 2020 and using $60,591 during the year ended March 31, 2019.

 

Discontinued
operations activities consumed $119,053 of cash for the year ended March 31, 2021 as compared to consuming cash of $127,001 for the year
ended March 31, 2020 and providing cash of $216,465 during the year ended March 31, 2019.

 

We used
cash in the amount of $4,486 in fiscal year 2021, generated $214,940 in fiscal year 2020, and used $7,040 in fiscal year 2019 in investing
activities. In fiscal year 2020, cash was generated by the sales of our investment in CP4H for an amount of $220,233 and was slightly
offset by the purchase of computers and software for $5,293. In fiscal year 2019, cash was used for leasehold improvements and the purchase
of computer equipment and software.

 

At March
31, 2021, the Company had access to an overdraft protection facility from its principal banker for approximately $39,760 (refer to Note
9 “Line of Credit” to consolidated financial statements), in addition to a cash and cash equivalent balance of $213,324.  Management
believes that these funds, together with cash from on-going operations, will be sufficient to fund existing operations for the next 12
months. However, there is no guarantee that unanticipated circumstances will not require additional liquidity, and in any event, these
funds alone may not allow for any additional expenditures or growth.

 

Credit
terms for software, maintenance and consulting services have remained consistent from prior periods at 30 days.

 

As at March
31, 2021, 48% of all receivables were current. As at March 31, 2020, approximately 100% of all receivables were current. As at March
31, 2019, approximately 58% of all receivables were current.

 

Cash and
cash equivalents of $213,324 are comprised of $84,245 in cash and $129,079 in cash equivalents. The cash equivalents of $129,079 at March
31, 2021 ($371,229 at March 31, 2020, $290,598 at March 31, 2019) are comprised of:

 

 

 

Held
in Canada:

CIBC Wood
Gundy at 1.00% – $129,079 ($162,323 CDN) – No Maturity

 

Future
liquidity and cash requirements will depend on a wide range of factors, including the level of success the Company has in executing its
strategic plan as well as its ability to raise additional financing. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that ZIM will be able to
meet its working capital needs for any future period. In addition, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $21,279,678 for the fiscal
year ended March 31, 2021. 

 

If ZIM’s
expenses surpass the funds available or if ZIM requires additional expenditures to grow the business, the Company may be unable to obtain
the necessary funds and ZIM may have to curtail or suspend some or all of its business operations, which would likely have a material
adverse effect on its business relationships, financial results, financial condition and prospects, as well as on the ability of shareholders
to recover their investment.

 

C. Research
and development

 

Research
and development expenses for continuing operations, net of refundable tax credits, went from $13,717 for the year ended March 31, 2019
to $8,208 for the year ended March 31, 2020 and to $23,120 for the year ended March 31, 2021. The increase in cost for fiscal years 2021
relates to increased funding of research projects related to our NuvoBio subsidiary and are net of refundable investment tax credits
on research and development expenses in Canada.

 

Research
and development expenses for discontinued operations, net of refundable tax credits, went from $58,402 for the year ended March 31, 2019
to $57,859 for the year ended March 31, 2020 and to $1,054 for the year ended March 31, 2021. The sharp decline in expenditures in fiscal
year 2021 relates to the sale of the database business and the discontinuation of all research and development related to these assets.
Prior year research and development expenses are related to the development of the ZIM database language and are net of refundable investment
tax credits on research and development expenses in Canada.

 

 

The Company
has not identified and is not aware of any trends that will have a significant impact on its consolidated financial position, statement
of operations or cash flows.

 

E. Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements

 

The Company
does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on our financial
condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.

EXECUTIVE
COMPENSATION

 

Compensation
Discussion and Analysis

 

Philosophy

 

We design
all of our compensation programs to retain and as necessary attract key employees who are motivated to achieve growth in technology.
Our program has been kept simple due to the size of our staff and our lack of performance measurements. Our programs are designed to
reward performance based on team and individual performances. Due to the size of our organization, our executive compensation programs
impact all employees because these programs help establish expectations for our general approach to rewards. The Company encourages our
business leaders to work together to create a high performance environment that is reinforced by constant attention to individual’s
goals and expectations.

 

We believe
that the performance of the executives in managing our company should be considered in light of general economic and specific company,
industry and competitive conditions. We believe that our compensation programs for our executives should reflect our success as a management
team and in attaining an increased value for shareholders. We also believe that individual performance should be evaluated annually and
considered in compensation decisions.

 

 

 

Overview
of Compensation and Process

 

Elements
of compensation for our executives include: salary and stock option grants and health, disability and life insurance. Our Compensation
Committee consists of Messrs Stechyson and Houck. It generally meets as required to review any changes to the compensation plans
for the next year. In fiscal 2021, there were no changes to the plan, no bonuses and no changes to the salary levels for executives,
and as a result, there were no Compensation Committee meetings.

 

Due to
the size of the organization, the Compensation Committee is aware of all the elements of each executive’s total compensation over
each of the past three years, as well as a comparison to the compensation of other executive officers in an appropriate market comparison
group. Typically, our Chief Executive Officer recommends compensation changes with respect to the executive officers who report to him.
The Chief Executive Officer has no salary so there have been no compensation recommendations to the compensation committee with respect
to him. All option grants to the executives in the organization are approved by our Board of Directors at the time of grant. The Compensation
Committee has the authority to accept or adjust any recommendations.

 

We choose
to pay each element of compensation in order to attract and retain the necessary executive talent, reward annual performance and provide
incentive for their balanced focus on long-term strategic goals as well as short-term performance. The amount of each element of compensation
is determined by or under the direction of the Compensation Committee, which uses the following factors to determine the amount of salary
and other benefits to pay each executive:

 

· Performance
in the previous year;
· Difficulty
of achieving desired results in the coming year;
· Value
of their unique skills and capabilities to increase the performance of the Company;
· Performance
of their general management responsibilities; and
· Contribution
as a member of the management team.

 

These elements
fit into our overall compensation objectives by helping to secure the future potential of our operations, facilitating our entry into
new markets, providing proper compliance and regulatory guidance, and helping to create a cohesive team.

 

Our policy
for allocating between long-term and currently paid compensation is to ensure adequate base compensation to attract and retain personnel,
while providing stock option incentives to maximize long-term value for our Company.

 

 

Base
Salary and Bonus

 

It is the
goal of the Compensation Committee to establish salary compensation for our executive officers based on our comparable peer companies.
We believe that this gives us the opportunity to attract and retain appropriate managerial employees both at the senior executive level
and below.

 

Equity
Incentives

 

A significant
goal of our compensation is to afford our executives (and employees) an opportunity to participate in our performance through stock option
grants. The Compensation Committee considers factors such as the ability for the Company to attract, motivate and retain qualified individuals
and to align their success with that of the Company’s shareholders through the achievement of strategic corporate objectives and
creation of shareholder value. The level of equity incentives paid to an individual is based on the individual’s overall experience,
responsibility, performance and base salary.

 

Factors
also considered are the equity incentives offered for similar positions in the high-tech industry and other labor markets in which the
Company competes for employees. The Compensation Committee compares remuneration for executive officers of the Company to the remuneration
for similar executives in relevant labor markets.

as a class upon a proposal to amend these Articles to:

after such record date and before the payment date of such dividend. Dividends shall not be paid or declared or set aside for payment

such securities or other property as if on the effective date of such event they were registered holders of the number of common shares
which such holders of Special Shares were entitled to receive upon the conversion of their Special Shares. No such adjustment shall be
made if the holders of the Special Shares are entitled to participate in any such event on the same terms, as though they had converted
their Special Shares prior to the occurrence of such event.

6.     General
Rights and Attributes

      Except
as specifically referred to above, each Special Share and each common share shall have the same rights and attributes and not have any
priority over the other.

Powers
and Duties of Directors

 

The
Board of Directors shall manage or supervise the management of our affairs and business and shall have authority to exercise all such
powers as are not, by the Company Act, Articles or By-laws, required to be exercised by the shareholders in a general meeting or prohibited
by law.
 

 

A majority
of the directors shall be resident Canadians and, if any of the issued securities of the Company are or were a part of a distribution
to the public, at least two of the directors shall not be officers or employees of the Company or any affiliate of the Company. No director
shall be required to hold shares issued by the Company, unless the articles otherwise provide. In exercising his powers and discharging
his duties each director must (a) act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Company and (b) exercise
the care, diligence and skill that a reasonably prudent person would exercise in comparable circumstances.

 

 Directors
serve for three (3) years, until each third annual meeting of shareholders.  In general, a Director who is, in any way, directly
or indirectly interested in an existing or proposed contract or transaction with us whereby a duty or interest might be created to conflict
with his duty or interest as a director, shall declare the nature and extent of his interest in such contract or transaction or the conflict
or potential conflict with his duty and interest as a director.  Such a Director shall not vote in respect of any such contract
or transaction with us if the Chairman disqualifies him.  If he votes, his vote shall not be counted, but he shall be counted
in the quorum present at the meeting at which such a vote is taken.  The shareholders at the general meeting shall determine
the remuneration of the Directors.  However, notwithstanding the foregoing, Directors shall be paid all expenses incurred in
attending meetings or conducting business on our behalf.

 

Shareholders

 

An
Annual General Meeting of Shareholders must be held once in every year at such time and place as may be determined by the Directors.  Notice
of the meeting must be given not less than twenty-one (21) nor more than fifty (50) days prior to the meeting.  A quorum at
an Annual General Meeting and Special Meeting shall be such person or number of persons present, in person or by proxy, holding or representing
a majority of the total number of issued shares of the Company carrying voting rights for such meeting.

 

 

 

In
accordance with our By-laws, Directors are elected by an “ordinary resolution” which means (a) a resolution passed by our
shareholders in a General Meeting by a simple majority of the votes cast in person or by proxy, or (b) a resolution that has been submitted
to our shareholders who would have been entitled to vote on it in person or by proxy at our general meeting and that has been consented
to in writing by all of our shareholders entitled to vote on it.

C. MATERIAL
CONTRACTS

 

None.

 

D. EXCHANGE
CONTROLS

 

As of the
date hereof, there are no governmental laws, decrees or regulations in Canada on the export or import of capital, or which impose foreign
exchange controls or affect the remittance of interest, dividends or other payments to non-resident holders of our common stock, except
as described under ITEM 10E “Taxation”.

 

Except
as provided in the Investment Canada Act, which has provisions that restrict the holding of voting shares by non-Canadians, there are
no limitations specific to the rights of non-Canadians to hold or vote the Company’s common shares under the laws of Canada or
Ontario, or in its charter documents. The following summarizes the principal features of the Investment Canada Act for non-Canadian residents
proposing to acquire the Company’s common shares.

 

This summary
is of a general nature only and is not intended to be, and should not be construed to be, legal advice to any holder or prospective holder
of the Company’s common shares, and no opinion or representation to any holder or prospective holder of our common shares is hereby
made. Accordingly, holders and prospective holders of the Company’s common shares should consult with their own legal advisors
with respect to the consequences of purchasing and owning the Company’s common shares.

The Investment
Canada Act governs the acquisition of Canadian businesses by non-Canadians. Under the Investment Canada Act, non-Canadian persons or
entities acquiring “control” (as defined in the Investment Canada Act) of a corporation carrying on business in Canada are
required to either notify, or file an application for review with, Industry Canada, subject to certain statutory exemptions. The relevant
Minister may review any transaction which constitutes an acquisition of control of a Canadian business, where the book value of the assets
acquired exceeds certain thresholds (which are higher for investors from members of the World Trade Organization, including United States
residents, or World Trade Organization member-controlled companies) or where the activity of the business is related to Canada’s
cultural heritage or national identity, or where the investment could be injurious to Canada’s national security. For acquisitions
of control of a business which do not involve a business related to Canada’s cultural heritage or national identity or present
national security issues, no change of voting control will be deemed to have occurred, for purposes of the Investment Canada Act, if
less than one-third of the voting control of a Canadian corporation is acquired by an investor. Different rules apply to acquisitions
of control of businesses related to Canada’s cultural heritage or national identity, or present national security concerns.

 

 

 

If an investment
is reviewable under the Investment Canada Act, an application for review in the form prescribed is normally required to be filed with
Industry Canada prior to the investment taking place, and the investment may not be implemented until the review has been completed and
the Minister responsible for the Investment Canada Act is satisfied that the investment is likely to be of net benefit to Canada. If
the Minister is not satisfied that the investment is likely to be of net benefit to Canada, the non-Canadian applicant must not implement
the investment, or if the investment has been implemented, may be required to divest itself of control of the Canadian business that
is the subject of the investment. Different rules apply if the Minister determines that the investment may be injurious to Canada’s
national security.

Certain
transactions relating to ZIM’s common stock would be exempt from the Investment Canada Act, if they are not found to be potentially
injurious to Canada’s national security by the Minister responsible for the Investment Canada Act, including:

 

· The
acquisition of the Company’s common stock by a person in the ordinary course of that
person’s business as a trader or dealer in securities;
· The
acquisition of control of the Company in connection with the realization of security granted
for a loan or other financial assistance and not for a purpose related to the provisions
of the Investment Canada Act; and the acquisition of control of the Company by reason of
an amalgamation, merger, consolidation or corporate reorganization following which the ultimate
direct or indirect control in fact of the Company, through ownership of our common stock,
remains unchanged.

 

These exemptions
do not apply to an acquisition of control of a Canadian business that is deemed to be potentially injurious to Canada’s national
security.

 

E. TAXATION

 

Certain
United States Federal Income Tax Consequences

 

The following
is a general summary of certain material U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to a U.S. Holder (as defined below) arising
from and relating to the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of common shares of the Company.

 

This
summary is for general information purposes only and does not purport to be a complete analysis or listing of all potential U.S. federal
income tax considerations that may apply to a U.S. Holder arising from and relating to the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of
common shares. In addition, this summary does not take into account the individual facts and circumstances of any particular U.S. Holder
that may affect the U.S. federal income tax consequences to such U.S. Holder, including specific tax consequences to a U.S. Holder under
an applicable tax treaty. Accordingly, this summary is not intended to be, and should not be construed as, legal or U.S. federal income
tax advice with respect to any U.S. Holder. This summary does not address the U.S. federal alternative minimum, U.S. federal estate and
gift, U.S. state and local, and non-U.S. tax consequences to U.S. Holders of the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of common shares.
Except as specifically set forth below, this summary does not discuss applicable tax reporting requirements. Each U.S. Holder should
consult its own tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal, U.S. federal alternative minimum, U.S. federal estate and gift, U.S. state and
local, and non-U.S. tax consequences relating to the acquisition, ownership and disposition of common shares.

 

 

No
legal opinion from U.S. legal counsel or ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) has been requested, or will
be obtained, regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of common shares. This
summary is not binding on the IRS, and the IRS is not precluded from taking a position that is different from, and contrary to, the positions
taken in this summary. In addition, because the authorities on which this summary is based are subject to various interpretations, the
IRS and the U.S. courts could disagree with one or more of the positions taken in this summary.

Scope
of this Summary

Authorities

This
summary is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, Treasury Regulations (whether final, temporary, or proposed),
published rulings of the IRS, published administrative positions of the IRS, the Convention Between Canada and the United States of America
with Respect to Taxes on Income and on Capital, signed September 26, 1980, as amended, or the Canada-U.S. Tax Convention, and U.S. court
decisions that are applicable and, in each case, as in effect and available, as of the date of this document. Any of the authorities
on which this summary is based could be changed in a material and adverse manner at any time, and any such change could be applied on
a retroactive or prospective basis which could affect the U.S. federal income tax considerations described in this summary. This summary
does not discuss the potential effects, whether adverse or beneficial, of any proposed legislation that, if enacted, could be applied
on a retroactive or prospective basis.

U.S.
Holders

For
purposes of this summary, the term “U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of common shares that is for U.S. federal income
tax purposes:

· an
individual who is a citizen or resident of the U.S.;
· a
corporation (or other entity taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes)
organized under the laws of the U.S., any state thereof or the District of Columbia;
· an
estate whose income is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source;
or
· a
trust that (1) is subject to the primary supervision of a court within the U.S. and the control
of one or more U.S. persons for all substantial decisions or (2) has a valid election in
effect under applicable Treasury Regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.

 

Non-U.S.
Holders

For
purposes of this summary, a “non-U.S. Holder” is a beneficial owner of common shares that is not a U.S. Holder. This summary
does not address the U.S. federal income tax consequences to non-U.S. Holders arising from and relating to the acquisition, ownership,
and disposition of common shares. Accordingly, a non-U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal, U.S.
federal alternative minimum, U.S. federal estate and gift, U.S. state and local, and non-U.S. tax consequences (including the potential
application of and operation of any income tax treaties) relating to the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of common shares.

U.S.
Holders Subject to Special U.S. Federal Income Tax Rules Not Addressed

This
summary does not address the U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to U.S. Holders that are subject to special provisions
under the Code, including, but not limited to, the following: (a) U.S. Holders that are tax-exempt organizations, qualified retirement
plans, individual retirement accounts, or other tax-deferred accounts; (b) U.S. Holders that are financial institutions, underwriters,
insurance companies, real estate investment trusts, or regulated investment companies; (c) U.S. Holders that are broker-dealers, dealers,
or traders in securities or currencies that elect to apply a mark-to-market accounting method; (d) U.S. Holders that have a “functional
currency” other than the U.S. dollar; (e) U.S. Holders that own common shares as part of a straddle, hedging transaction, conversion
transaction, constructive sale, or other arrangement involving more than one position; (f) U.S. Holders that acquired common shares in
connection with the exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation for services; (g) U.S. Holders that hold common shares
other than as a capital asset within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code (generally, property held for investment purposes); or (h)
U.S. Holders that own or have owned (directly, indirectly, or by attribution) 10% or more of the total combined voting power of the outstanding
shares of the Company. This summary also does not address the U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to U.S. Holders who are:
(a) U.S. expatriates or former long-term residents of the U.S.; (b) persons that have been, are, or will be a resident or deemed to be
a resident in Canada for purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the “Tax Act”); (c) persons that use or hold, will use
or hold, or that are or will be deemed to use or hold common shares in connection with carrying on a business in Canada; (d) persons
whose common shares constitute “taxable Canadian property” under the Tax Act; or (e) persons that have a permanent establishment
in Canada for the purposes of the Canada-U.S. Tax Convention. U.S. Holders that are subject to special provisions under the Code, including,
but not limited to, U.S. Holders described immediately above, should consult their own tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal, U.S. federal
alternative minimum, U.S. federal estate and gift, U.S. state and local, and non-U.S. tax consequences relating to the acquisition, ownership
and disposition of common shares.

 

 

If
an entity or arrangement that is classified as a partnership (or “pass-through” entity) for U.S. federal income tax purposes
holds common shares, the U.S. federal income tax consequences to such partnership and the partners of such partnership generally will
depend on the activities of the partnership and the status of such partners (or owners). This summary does not address the tax consequences
to any such partnership or partner. Partners of entities or arrangements that are classified as partnerships for U.S. federal income
tax purposes should consult their own tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences arising from and relating to the
acquisition, ownership, and disposition of common shares.

Passive
Foreign Investment Company Rules

If the
Company were to constitute a “passive foreign investment company” under the meaning of Section 1297 of the Code, or a PFIC,
as defined below, for any year during a U.S. Holder’s holding period, then certain different and potentially adverse rules will
affect the U.S. federal income tax consequences to a U.S. Holder resulting from the acquisition, ownership and disposition of common
shares. In addition, in any year in which the Company is classified as a PFIC, such holder may be required to file an annual report with
the IRS containing such information as Treasury Regulations and/or other IRS guidance may require. U.S. Holders should consult their
own tax advisors regarding the requirements of filing such information returns under these rules, including the requirement to file an
IRS Form 8621.

PFIC
Status of the Company

The
Company generally will be a PFIC if, for a tax year, (a) 75% or more of the gross income of the Company is passive income (the “income
test”) or (b) 50% or more of the value of the Company’s assets either produce passive income or are held for the production
of passive income, based on the quarterly average of the fair market value of such assets (the “asset test”). “Gross
income” generally includes all sales revenues less the cost of goods sold, plus income from investments and from incidental or
outside operations or sources, and “passive income” generally includes, for example, dividends, interest, certain rents and
royalties, certain gains from the sale of stock and securities, and certain gains from commodities transactions.

For
purposes of the PFIC income test and asset test described above, if the Company owns, directly or indirectly, 25% or more of the total
value of the outstanding shares of another corporation, the Company will be treated as if it (a) held a proportionate share of the assets
of such other corporation and (b) received directly a proportionate share of the income of such other corporation. In addition, for purposes
of the PFIC income test and asset test described above, and assuming certain other requirements are met, “passive income”
does not include certain interest, dividends, rents, or royalties that are received or accrued by the Company from certain “related
persons” (as defined in Section 954(d)(3) of the Code), to the extent such items are properly allocable to the income of such related
person that is not passive income.

 

In
addition, under certain attribution rules, if the Company is a PFIC, U.S. Holders will be deemed to own their proportionate share of
the stock of any subsidiary of the Company that is also a PFIC, or a Subsidiary PFIC, and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax
on their proportionate share of (a) a distribution on the stock of a Subsidiary PFIC and (b) a disposition or deemed disposition of the
stock of a Subsidiary PFIC, both as if such U.S. Holders directly held the shares of such Subsidiary PFIC.

The
Company believes that it was classified as a PFIC during the tax year ended March 31, 2021 and may be a PFIC in future tax years. The
determination of whether any corporation was, or will be, a PFIC for a tax year depends, in part, on the application of complex U.S.
federal income tax rules, which are subject to differing interpretations. In addition, whether any corporation will be a PFIC for any
tax year depends on the assets and income of such corporation over the course of each such tax year and, as a result, cannot be predicted
with certainty as of the date of this document. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the IRS will not challenge any determination
made by the Company (or a Subsidiary PFIC) concerning its PFIC status. Each U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding
the PFIC status of the Company and any Subsidiary PFIC.

Default
PFIC Rules Under Section 1291 of the Code

If
the Company is a PFIC, the U.S. federal income tax consequences to a U.S. Holder of the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of common
shares will depend on whether such U.S. Holder makes an election to treat the Company and each Subsidiary PFIC, if any, as a “qualified
electing fund” or “QEF” under Section 1295 of the Code, or a QEF Election, or a mark-to-market election under Section
1296 of the Code, or a Mark-to-Market Election. A U.S. Holder that does not make either a QEF Election or a Mark-to-Market Election will
be referred to in this summary as a “Non-Electing U.S. Holder.”

A
Non-Electing U.S. Holder will be subject to the rules of Section 1291 of the Code with respect to (a) any gain recognized on the sale
or other taxable disposition of common shares and (b) any excess distribution received on our common shares. A distribution generally
will be an “excess distribution” to the extent that such distribution (together with all other distributions received in
the current tax year) exceeds 125% of the average distributions received during the three preceding tax years (or during a U.S. Holder’s
holding period for our common shares, if shorter).

Under
Section 1291 of the Code, any gain recognized on the sale or other taxable disposition of common shares (including an indirect disposition
of the stock of any Subsidiary PFIC), and any “excess distribution” received on common shares, must be ratably allocated
to each day in a Non-Electing U.S. Holder’s holding period for the respective common shares. The amount of any such gain or excess
distribution allocated to the tax year of disposition or distribution of the excess distribution and to years before the entity became
a PFIC, if any, would be taxed as ordinary income. The amounts allocated to any other tax year would be subject to U.S. federal income
tax at the highest tax rate applicable to ordinary income in each such year, and an interest charge would be imposed on the tax liability
for each such year, calculated as if such tax liability had been due in each such year. A Non-Electing U.S. Holder that is not a corporation
must treat any such interest paid as “personal interest,” which is not deductible.

 

 

If
the Company is a PFIC for any tax year during which a Non-Electing U.S. Holder holds common shares, the Company will continue to be treated
as a PFIC with respect to such Non-Electing U.S. Holder, regardless of whether the Company ceases to be a PFIC in one or more subsequent
tax years. A Non-Electing U.S. Holder may terminate this deemed PFIC status by electing to recognize gain (which will be taxed under
the rules of Section 1291 of the Code discussed above), but not loss, as if such common shares were sold on the last day of the last
tax year for which the Company was a PFIC.

QEF
Election

A
U.S. Holder that makes a timely and effective QEF Election for the first tax year in which its holding period of its common shares begins
generally will not be subject to the rules of Section 1291 of the Code discussed above with respect to its common shares. A U.S. Holder
that makes a timely and effective QEF Election will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on such U.S. Holder’s pro rata share
of (a) the net capital gain of the Company, which will be taxed as long-term capital gain to such U.S. Holder, and (b) the ordinary earnings
of the Company, which will be taxed as ordinary income to such U.S. Holder. Generally, “net capital gain” is the excess of
(a) net long-term capital gain over (b) net short-term capital loss, and “ordinary earnings” are the excess of (a) “earnings
and profits” over (b) net capital gain. A U.S. Holder that makes a QEF Election will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on such
amounts for each tax year in which the Company is a PFIC, regardless of whether such amounts are actually distributed to such U.S. Holder
by the Company. However, for any tax year in which the Company is a PFIC and has no net income or gain, U.S. Holders that have made a
QEF Election would not have any income inclusions as a result of the QEF Election. If a U.S. Holder that made a QEF Election has an income
inclusion, such a U.S. Holder may, subject to certain limitations, elect to defer payment of current U.S. federal income tax on such
amounts, subject to an interest charge. If such U.S. Holder is not a corporation, any such interest paid will be treated as “personal
interest,” which is not deductible.

A
U.S. Holder that makes a timely and effective QEF Election with respect to the Company generally (a) may receive a tax-free distribution
from the Company to the extent that such distribution represents “earnings and profits” of the Company that were previously
included in income by the U.S. Holder because of such QEF Election and (b) will adjust such U.S. Holder’s tax basis in our common
shares to reflect the amount included in income or allowed as a tax-free distribution because of such QEF Election. In addition, a U.S.
Holder that makes a QEF Election generally will recognize capital gain or loss on the sale or other taxable disposition of common shares.

The
procedure for making a QEF Election, and the U.S. federal income tax consequences of making a QEF Election, will depend on whether such
QEF Election is timely. A QEF Election will be treated as “timely” if such QEF Election is made for the first year in the
U.S. Holder’s holding period for our common shares in which the Company was a PFIC. A U.S. Holder may make a timely QEF Election
by filing the appropriate QEF Election documents at the time such U.S. Holder files a U.S. federal income tax return for such year. If
a U.S. Holder does not make a timely and effective QEF Election for the first year in the U.S. Holder’s holding period for our
common shares, the U.S. Holder may still be able to make a timely and effective QEF Election in a subsequent year if such U.S. Holder
also makes a “purging” election to recognize gain (which will be taxed under the rules of Section 1291 of the Code discussed
above) as if such common shares were sold for their fair market value on the day the QEF Election is effective.

A
QEF Election will apply to the tax year for which such QEF Election is timely made and to all subsequent tax years, unless such QEF Election
is invalidated or terminated or the IRS consents to revocation of such QEF Election. If a U.S. Holder makes a QEF Election and, in a
subsequent tax year, the Company ceases to be a PFIC, the QEF Election will remain in effect (although it will not be applicable) during
those tax years in which the Company is not a PFIC. Accordingly, if the Company becomes a PFIC in another subsequent tax year, the QEF
Election will be effective and the U.S. Holder will be subject to the QEF rules described above during any subsequent tax year in which
the Company qualifies as a PFIC.

 

U.S.
Holders should be aware that there can be no assurance that the Company will satisfy record keeping requirements that apply to a QEF,
or that the Company will supply U.S. Holders with information that such U.S. Holders require to report under the QEF rules, in event
that the Company is a PFIC and a U.S. Holder wishes to make a QEF Election. Thus, U.S. Holders may not be able to make a QEF Election
with respect to their common shares. Each U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding the availability of, and procedure
for making, a QEF Election.

Mark-to-Market
Election

A
U.S. Holder may make a Mark-to-Market Election only if the common shares are marketable stock. Our common shares generally will be “marketable
stock” if our common shares are regularly traded on (a) a national securities exchange that is registered with the Securities and
Exchange Commission, (b) the national market system established pursuant to section 11A of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, or
(c) a foreign securities exchange that is regulated or supervised by a governmental authority of the country in which the market is located,
provided that (i) such foreign exchange has trading volume, listing, financial disclosure, and meets other requirements and the laws
of the country in which such foreign exchange is located, together with the rules of such foreign exchange, ensure that such requirements
are actually enforced and (ii) the rules of such foreign exchange ensure active trading of listed stocks. If such stock is traded on
such a qualified exchange or other market, such stock generally will be “regularly traded” for any calendar year during which
such stock is traded, other than in de minimis quantities, on at least 15 days during each calendar quarter.

A
U.S. Holder that makes a Mark-to-Market Election with respect to its common shares generally will not be subject to the rules of Section
1291 of the Code discussed above with respect to such common shares. However, if a U.S. Holder does not make a Mark-to-Market Election
beginning in the first tax year of such U.S. Holder’s holding period for our common shares or such U.S. Holder has not made a timely
QEF Election, the rules of Section 1291 of the Code discussed above will apply to certain dispositions of, and distributions on,
our common shares.

A
U.S. Holder that makes a Mark-to-Market Election will include in ordinary income, for each tax year in which the Company is a PFIC, an
amount equal to the excess, if any, of (a) the fair market value of our common shares, as of the close of such tax year over (b) such
U.S. Holder’s tax basis in such common shares. A U.S. Holder that makes a Mark-to-Market Election will be allowed a deduction in
an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (a) such U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in our common shares, over (b) the fair market
value of such common shares (but only to the extent of the net amount of previously included income as a result of the Mark-to-Market
Election for prior tax years).

A
U.S. Holder that makes a Mark-to-Market Election generally also will adjust such U.S. Holder’s tax basis in our common shares to
reflect the amount included in gross income or allowed as a deduction because of such Mark-to-Market Election. In addition, upon a sale
or other taxable disposition of common shares, a U.S. Holder that makes a Mark-to-Market Election will recognize ordinary income or ordinary
loss (not to exceed the excess, if any, of (a) the amount included in ordinary income because of such Mark-to-Market Election for prior
tax years over (b) the amount allowed as a deduction because of such Mark-to-Market Election for prior tax years).

A
Mark-to-Market Election applies to the tax year in which such Mark-to-Market Election is made and to each subsequent tax year, unless
our common shares cease to be “marketable stock” or the IRS consents to revocation of such election. Each U.S. Holder should
consult its own tax advisor regarding the availability of, and procedure for making, a Mark-to-Market Election.

 

Although
a U.S. Holder may be eligible to make a Mark-to-Market Election with respect to our common shares, no such election may be made with
respect to the stock of any Subsidiary PFIC that a U.S. Holder is treated as owning, because such stock is not marketable. Hence, the
Mark-to-Market Election will not be effective to eliminate the application of the default rules of Section 1291 of the Code described
above with respect to deemed dispositions of Subsidiary PFIC stock or distributions from a Subsidiary PFIC.

Other
PFIC Rules

Under
Section 1291(f) of the Code, the IRS has issued proposed Treasury Regulations that, subject to certain exceptions, would cause a U.S.
Holder that had not made a timely QEF Election to recognize gain (but not loss) upon certain transfers of common shares that would otherwise
be tax-deferred (e.g., gifts and exchanges pursuant to corporate reorganizations). However, the specific U.S. federal income tax consequences
to a U.S. Holder may vary based on the manner in which common shares are transferred.

Certain
additional adverse rules will apply with respect to a U.S. Holder if the Company is a PFIC, regardless of whether such U.S. Holder makes
a QEF Election. For example, under Section 1298(b)(6) of the Code, a U.S. Holder that uses common shares as security for a loan will,
except as may be provided in Treasury Regulations, be treated as having made a taxable disposition of such common shares.

Special
rules also apply to the amount of foreign tax credit that a U.S. Holder may claim on a distribution from a PFIC. Subject to such special
rules, foreign taxes paid with respect to any distribution in respect of stock in a PFIC are generally eligible for the foreign tax credit.
The rules relating to distributions by a PFIC and their eligibility for the foreign tax credit are complicated, and a U.S. Holder should
consult with their own tax advisor regarding the availability of the foreign tax credit with respect to distributions by a PFIC.

The
PFIC rules are complex, and each U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding the PFIC rules and how the PFIC rules may affect
the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of common shares.

Ownership
and Disposition of Common Shares

The
following discussion is subject to the rules described above under the heading “Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules.”

Distributions
on Common Shares

Subject
to the PFIC rules discussed above, a U.S. Holder that receives a distribution, including a constructive distribution, with respect to
an Offered Share will be required to include the amount of such distribution in gross income as a dividend (without reduction for any
Canadian income tax withheld from such distribution) to the extent of the current or accumulated “earnings and profits” of
the Company, as computed for U.S. federal income tax purposes. A dividend generally will be taxed to a U.S. Holder at ordinary income
tax rates if the Company is a PFIC. To the extent that a distribution exceeds the current and accumulated “earnings and profits”
of the Company, such distribution will be treated first as a tax-free return of capital to the extent of a U.S. Holder’s tax basis in
our common shares and thereafter as gain from the sale or exchange of such common shares. (See “Sale or Other Taxable Disposition
of common shares” below). However, the Company may not maintain the calculations of earnings and profits in accordance with U.S.
federal income tax principles, and each U.S. Holder should therefore assume that any distribution by the Company with respect to our
common shares will constitute ordinary dividend income. Dividends received on common shares generally will not be eligible for the “dividends
received deduction”. Subject to applicable limitations and provided the Company is eligible for the benefits of the Canada-U.S.
Tax Convention, dividends paid by the Company to non-corporate U.S. Holders, including individuals, generally will be eligible for the
preferential tax rates applicable to long-term capital gains for dividends, provided certain holding period and other conditions are
satisfied, including that the Company not be classified as a PFIC in the tax year of distribution or in the preceding tax year. The dividend
rules are complex, and each U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding the application of such rules.

 

Sale
or Other Taxable Disposition of Common Shares

Subject
to the PFIC rules discussed above, upon the sale or other taxable disposition of common shares, a U.S. Holder generally will recognize
capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the amount of cash plus the fair market value of any property received
and such U.S. Holder’s tax basis in such common shares sold or otherwise disposed of. Subject to the PFIC rules discussed above, gain
or loss recognized on such sale or other disposition generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if, at the time of the sale or
other disposition, our common shares have been held for more than one year.

Preferential
tax rates apply to long-term capital gain of a U.S. Holder that is an individual, estate, or trust. There are currently no preferential
tax rates for long-term capital gain of a U.S. Holder that is a corporation. Deductions for capital losses are subject to significant
limitations under the Code.

Additional
Considerations

Additional
Tax on Passive Income

 

Individuals,
estates and certain trusts whose income exceeds certain thresholds will be required to pay a 3.8% Medicare surtax on “net investment
income” including, among other things, dividends and net gain from disposition of property (other than property held in certain
trades or businesses). U.S. Holders should consult with their own tax advisors regarding the effect, if any, of this tax on their ownership
and disposition of common shares.

ITEM 11.

 

QUANTITATIVE
AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

 

FOREIGN
EXCHANGE RISK

 

Foreign
exchange risk as at March 31, 2021 consists of cash and receivables being in the Company’s functional currency of Canadian dollars
while reporting is in United States dollars.

 

In years
previous to fiscal year 2021, the Company operated internationally, giving rise to significant exposure to market risks from changes
in foreign exchange rates. The Company’s financial assets are in the form of cash and cash equivalents held at institutions with
high quality credit ratings, accounts receivable and investments. The Company was previously exposed to exchange risk due to the timing
of the movement of funds between subsidiaries and the parent company related to the transfer pricing agreement and the pricing of contracts
in non-functional currencies. Financial instruments denominated in foreign currencies that led to foreign exchange risk when funds where
moved include:

 

Cash and
cash equivalents includes the following amounts in their source currency:

 

 

 

    March 31, 2021       March 31, 2020  
Canadian dollars     263,927       266,005  
U.S. dollars     3,449       6,638  
Brazilian reals     —         1,223,708  

 

Accounts
receivable include the following amounts receivable in their source currency:

 

    March 31, 2021       March 31, 2020  
Canadian dollars     150,965       17,349  
Brazilian reals     —         68,975  

 

Accounts
payable include the following amounts payable in their source currency:

 

    March 31, 2021       March 31, 2020  
Canadian dollars     7,901       19,085  
Brazilian reals     —         772  

 

Accrued
liabilities and lease liabilities include the following accruals in their source currency:

 

    March 31, 2021       March 31, 2020  
Canadian dollars     29,642       32,012  

Brazilian reals

    —         19,439  

 

The Company
does not use derivative financial instruments to reduce its foreign exchange risk exposure. The Company does not have any significant
assets of liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. All significant assets and liabilities are denominated in the Company’s
functional currency of Canadian dollars. and has no foreign exchange exposure.

 

 

 

 

CREDIT
RISK

 

The Company
is exposed to credit-related losses in the event of non-performance by counterparties to financial instruments. Credit exposure is minimized
by dealing with only creditworthy counterparties in accordance with established credit approval policies.

 

Concentration
of credit risk in accounts receivable is indicated below by the percentage of the total balance receivable from customers in the specified
geographic area:

 

      March 31, 2021       March 31, 2020  
Canada     100 %     48 %
North America, excluding Canada      -%        -%  
South America     -%       52 %
      100 %     100 %

 

FAIR
VALUE

 

The carrying
values of accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value due to the relatively short periods
to maturity of the instruments.

 

KEY
PERSONNEL RISK
 

If we lose
the services of any key personnel, in particular Dr. Michael Cowpland, our President and Chief Executive Officer, and Mr. James Stechyson,
our Chairman, the loss could significantly impede the achievement of our research and development objectives and delay our product development
programs and commercialization of our product candidates.  We do not currently have any key man life insurance policies.

CONTROLS
AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We are
required to maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) that are designed to ensure that information that we are required
to disclose in the reports we file under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified
in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating
the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated,
can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, as ours are designed to do.

 

Our management,
under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation
of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2021.  Based upon
that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not
effective due to the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting described below related to our financial reporting
processes and information technology security protocols.

 

 

Management’s
Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

ZIM’s
management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f)
and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act.

 

Based on
the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated
Framework, as previously stated in this annual report, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was
not effective as of March 31, 2021, due to the existence of certain significant deficiencies which constituted a material weakness, as
described in greater detail below. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial
reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement in our consolidated financial statements will not
be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Our principal
deficiency was inadequate staffing and supervision that could lead to the untimely identification and resolution of accounting and
disclosure matters. Other significant deficiencies that contributed to the material weakness were:

 

· Inadequate
segregation of duties and cross training; and
· Continued
reliance on manual systems to account for revenue and expenses.

 

Changes
in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

We are
taking steps to make the necessary improvements to remedy these deficiencies. We have implemented certain remedial measures and are in
the process of designing and implementing additional measures to remedy the material weakness. These include addressing our inadequate
staffing and supervision by reduction of workload through process optimization and documentation.

 

 

We intend
to continue to improve our internal controls; however, our small size and financial resources continue to prevent us from being able
to employ sufficient resources to enable us to have adequate segregation of duties within our internal control system.  Management
is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit.

 

 

 

Attestation
Report of the Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

Because
the Company is a “non-accelerated filer”, this Annual Report on Form 20-F is not required to include an attestation report
of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.

 

ITEM 16A.

 

AUDIT
COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT

 

Our Board
of Directors has determined that we have a least one audit committee financial expert serving on the audit committee. Mr. Donald
Gibbs, a member of the audit committee, is an audit committee financial expert and “independent” as that term is defined
in the NASDAQ Listing Rules.

 

ITEM 16B. CODE
OF ETHICS

 

Our Board
of Directors has adopted a code of conduct and ethics that applies to our directors, officers, employees and agents, including certain
provisions that specifically apply to our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Comptroller, Vice Presidents and any other
persons who perform similar functions for us. Our code of business conduct and ethics is posted on our website at www.ZIM.biz.

 

ITEM 16C. PRINCIPAL
ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES

 

During
the most recent two fiscal year ends, we were billed for audit, audit-related, tax and other services provided by Independent Registered
Public Accounting Firm, MNP LLP, as follows:

 

    Year ended
March 31, 2021
  Year ended
March 31, 2020
Audit fees     52,911       56,189  
Tax fees     9,372       4,303  
Total     62,283       60,492  

 

Audit
Fees
. Audit fees were for professional services rendered for the audits of ZIM’s consolidated financial statements and services
that generally only the independent auditor can reasonably provide, such as comfort letters, consents and assistance and review of documents
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

Tax
Fees
. Tax fees were for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning. These services included the preparation of the Canadian and
subsidiaries’ income tax returns in the respective jurisdictions, assistance with questions regarding tax audits from the various
taxation authorities in Canada and tax planning relating to common forms of domestic and international taxation (i.e., income tax, capital
tax and excise tax).

 

 

 

All audit
and tax fees are estimated by the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm and approved by the audit committee before they are performed.
There were no significant differences between the approved estimates and final fees for fiscal years 2020 and 2021.

 

The audit
committee’s policy is to pre-approve all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by the Independent Registered Public Accounting
Firm. These services may include audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services. The policy prohibits retention
of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm to perform the prohibited non-audit functions defined in section 201 of the Sarbanes-Oxley
Act of 2002 or the rules of the SEC, and also considers whether proposed services are compatible with the independence of the public
auditors. Pre-approval is detailed as to the particular service or category of services and is generally subject to a specific budget.
The Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm and management are required to periodically report to the Audit Committee regarding
the extent of services provided by the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm in accordance with this pre-approval and the fees
for the services performed to date.

ITEM 18.

FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS

 

REPORT
OF THE INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

Board
of Directors and Shareholders of ZIM Corporation

Opinion
on the Consolidated Financial Statements

We
have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of ZIM Corporation (the Company) as of March 31, 2021 and 2020, and the related
consolidated statements of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss), shareholders’ equity, and cash flows
for each of the years in the three-year period ended March 31, 2021, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated
financial statements”).

In
our opinion, the consolidated financial statements
present fairly, in
all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its consolidated
operations and its consolidated cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended March 31, 2021, in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Material
Uncertainty Related to Going Concern

The accompanying
consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As
discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has an accumulated deficit as at March 31, 2021 and has a history
of operating losses which raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s
plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2.
The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments
that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. This matter is also described in the “Critical
Audit Matters” section of our report.

Basis
for Opinion

These
consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
the Company’s consolidated 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 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 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.

 

Our
audits 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 audits 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical
Audit Matters

The
critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements
that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are
material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgements. The
communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole,
and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the
accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

 

Critical
Audit Matter Description
Audit
Response

Going
Concern

Refer
to Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements.

The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed
in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has a history of losses and negative cash flows from operating activities,
and as at March 31, 2021, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $21,279,678. In addition to the losses, the Company has discontinued
its operations which have historically generated revenue and no substantial cash inflows are expected in the next 12 months. This
matter is also described in the Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern” section of our report.

We
identified management’s judgements and assumptions used to assess the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern as
a critical audit matter due to inherent complexities and uncertainties related to the Company’s cash flow forecasts. Auditing these
judgements and assumptions involved especially challenging auditor judgement due to the nature and extent of audit evidence and effort
required to address these matters.
 

 

We
responded to this matter by performing procedures which included, but were not restricted to, the following:

·      
We obtained and tested the Company’s forecasted
future cash flows by testing the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data used by tracing the balances to the current year’s
recurring operating expenses related to continuing operations and by assessing the terms of current year agreements that will be
extended to the following period;

·      
We evaluated the estimates and assumptions by developing
an understanding of the nature of each critical assumption and estimate and then assessed their sensitivity to reasonably possible
changes, including notably, the probability of management being able to access funding by assessing the company’s history in
obtaining financing; and

·      
We assessed the adequacy of the disclosures related
to the application of the going concern assumption.

 

 

 

Recoverability
of Long-term Accounts Receivable

Refer
to Note 5 and Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements.

During
the year ended March 31, 2021, the Company sold one of its operating segments to ZIM Databases Canada (“ZDC”). The sale
of the segment generated a gain on disposal of $223,549. The agreement with ZDC generated a receivable from the ZDC totaling
$120,000 Canadian dollars, of which a substantial portion is due over the long-term.

We
identified the recoverability of the long-term receivable as a critical audit matter due to portions of the amounts due by ZDC
becoming overdue as at March 31, 2021, which raised significant doubt about whether ZDC will have the ability to pay the current and
future amounts due in relation to the sale agreement.

 

 

We
responded to this matter by performing procedures over the gain on disposal of the operating segment and the related amounts receivable
from ZDC. Our audit work in relation to this included, but was not restricted to, the following:

·      
We obtained from management and reviewed the purchase
and sale agreement and any related agreements;

·      
We obtained management’s memorandum analyzing
the accounting for the disposal of the operating segment, assessed the appropriateness of the accounting treatment applied and audited
the numbers used in the calculation of the related gain on disposal;

·      
We obtained management’s assessment of the
credit risk related to the acquirer of the operating segment and applied professional judgement to evaluate and conclude whether
the discount rate used by management appropriately reflected the credit risk of the acquirer;

·      
We discussed with representatives of ZDC the amounts
recorded by the Company as receivable in order to confirm those representatives agreed with those amounts;

·      
We obtained supporting documentation and agreements
supporting a subsequent payment plan agreed to between ZDC and the Company relating to the payment of the outstanding balances and
verified payment, subsequent to year end, of amounts received in accordance with such payment plan;

·      
We applied professional judgement to evaluate the
reasonability of management’s assertion that ZDC is expected to have the ability to pay the amounts receivable in future periods,
and their conclusion that no impairment of the amounts receivable was required as of March 31, 2021.

ZIM
CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR
THE YEAR ENDED MARCH 31, 2021

(EXPRESSED
IN US DOLLARS)

 

 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS

 

COMPANY
OVERVIEW

 

ZIM Corporation
(“ZIM” or the “Company”) undertook a strategic shift to discontinue all operations related to software products
and services for the database and mobile markets and focused all of its resources on developing intellectual
property and advancing research and development in the areas of new synthetic drugs and immunotherapies.

 

In April
2016, ZIM incorporated a wholly owned subsidiary called GeneSpans Corporation to develop intellectual property related to its research.
Genespans name was changed to NuvoBio Corporation on August 25, 2016.

 

In 2017, NuvoBio
signed strategic partnerships and exclusive global licensing agreements with leading drug research institutes and companies. The Company
is currently funding research and development projects in the following areas:

 

 

New peptide-derived
inhibitors for therapeutic intervention against various cancer cell lines in the presence or absence of chemotherapeutics to characterize
the in vivo effects of promising inhibitors.

 

In years
prior to fiscal year 2020, ZIM was a provider of software products and services for the database and mobile markets. ZIM products and
services were used by enterprises in the design, development and management of business, database and mobile applications. ZIM also provided
mobile content to the consumer market. These operations were discontinued and disposed of in fiscal year 2021.

 

 

These consolidated
financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States (“US GAAP”).The going concern basis of preparation assumes that the Company will
continue in operation for the foreseeable future and be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments
in the normal course of business. The Company had an operating loss and negative cash flows from
operations during the year ended March 31, 2021,
the Company has incurred an accumulated deficit of $21,279,678 to
date
as a result of its history of operating losses and negative cash flows from
operations in prior years. This raises substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. The ability
of the Company to continue as a going concern and to realize the carrying value of its assets
and discharge its liabilities and commitments when due is
dependent on the Company generating revenue sufficient to fund its cash flow needs. There is no certainty that this and other
strategies will be sufficient to permit the Company to continue as a going concern.

 


Management is currently investigating and evaluating options that may include recapitalization of the Company and pursuing other ventures

The consolidated financial statements do not reflect adjustments that would be necessary if
the going concern assumption was not appropriate. If the going concern assumption
was not appropriate for these consolidated financial statements, then adjustments could be necessary to the carrying
values of the assets and liabilities, the reported revenue and expenses and the classifications used in the consolidated balance sheets.
Such adjustments could be material.

THE
COVID-19 PANDEMIC HAS ADVERSELY IMPACTED, AND POSES RISKS TO, OUR BUSINESS, THE NATURE AND EXTENT OF WHICH ARE HIGHLY UNCERTAIN AND UNPREDICTABLE.

 

The continued
global spread of COVID-19 has led to disruption and volatility in the global capital markets, which has increased the cost of, and adversely
impacted access to, capital (including the commercial paper markets) and increased economic uncertainty. It is likely that the pandemic
will cause an economic slowdown of potentially extended duration, and it is possible that it could cause a global recession.

 

COVID-19
is adversely affecting, and is expected to continue to adversely affect, certain elements of our business, including as a result of impacts
associated with preventive and precautionary measures that we, other businesses, our communities and governments are taking. Due to these
impacts and measures, we have experienced and expect to continue to experience delays in our research activities.

 

In addition
to existing travel restrictions, jurisdictions may continue to close borders, impose prolonged quarantines and further restrict travel
and business activity, which could significantly impact our ability to conduct research. Due to the speed with which the COVID-19 situation
is developing, the global breadth of its spread and the range of governmental and community reactions thereto, there is uncertainty around
its duration and ultimate impact; therefore, any negative impact on our overall financial and operating results (including without limitation
our liquidity) cannot be reasonably estimated at this time, but the pandemic could lead to extended disruption of economic activity and
the impact on our financial and operating results could be material.

 

Negative
economic conditions may also cause debtors to delay and withhold payments to ZIM as a follow through of the negative economic conditions
they are experiencing due to COVOV-19. The extent to which COVID-19 impacts our business will depend on future developments, which are
highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19 and the actions
to contain COVID-19 or treat its impact, among others.

These consolidated
financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US
GAAP”).

 

PRINCIPLES
OF CONSOLIDATION

USE
OF ESTIMATES

 

The preparation
of consolidated financial statements in accordance with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial
statements and the reported amount of revenue and expenses during the period. Estimates have been made by management in several areas,
including, but not limited to, the realizability of accounts receivable, the valuation allowance associated with deferred income tax
assets, investment tax credits, the calculations supporting the revaluation of investments, expected useful life of equipment and the
fair value calculation with respect to the stock options. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

 

CASH
AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

 

The Company
considers all highly liquid investments with an original term to maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

ALLOWANCE
FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS

 

Accounts
receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company determines its allowance for doubtful
accounts by considering a number of factors, including the age of the receivable, the financial stability of the customer, discussions
that may have occurred with the customer and management’s judgment as to the overall collectability of the receivable from that customer.
The Company writes off accounts receivable when they become uncollectible, and payments subsequently received on such receivables are
credited to selling, general and administration expense in the period of recovery.

 

REVENUE
RECOGNITION

Prior
to our strategic shift as stated in Note 1 above, the Company derived revenue from two sources: enterprise software, including maintenance
and consulting services and mobile services and applications. Enterprise software involves providing enterprise software for designing,
developing and manipulating database systems and applications. Mobile services involve providing SMS applications and services. The Company
presents revenues net of sales tax and other related taxes.

ENTERPRISE
SOFTWARE REVENUE RECOGNITION

ZIM
recorded revenues from the perpetual license of the Company’s software products and the sale of related maintenance and consulting. The
Company’s standard license agreement provided a license to use the Company’s products based on the number of licensed users. The Company
may have licensed its software in multiple element arrangements if the customer purchased any combination of maintenance, consulting
or training services in conjunction with the license.

The
Company recognized revenue pursuant to the requirements of ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Revenue was recognized
using the residual method when evidence of fair value exists for all of the undelivered performance obligations in the arrangement, but
does not exist for one or more performance obligations. The Company allocated revenue to each undelivered performance obligation based
on its respective fair value determined by the price charged when that performance obligation was sold separately. The Company deferred
revenue for the undelivered performance obligations and recognized the residual amount of the arrangement fee, if any. The separate performance
obligations of the arrangements were considered to be separate units of accounting.

The
following steps are taken to recognize revenue:

1. Identification
of the contract(s) with the customer(s).
2. Identify
the performance obligations in the contract.
3. Determine
the transaction price.
4. Allocate
the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract.
5. Recognize
revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies the performance obligations.

 

The
Company recognized revenue from software license agreements at the point in time that the related performance obligation was satisfied,
which was generally when the software key was delivered. Discounts were allocated among the various performance obligations on a pro-rata
basis. If at the outset of an arrangement the Company determined that the arrangement fee was not fixed or determinable, revenue was
deferred until the arrangement fee become fixed or determinable.

Collectability
was assessed based on the collection history of the client, current economic trends, customer concentrations and customer credit worthiness.
Delivery of the software had occurred once the customer had accepted the product or had been provided with permanent keys to the file
transfer protocol (“FTP”) site. If an arrangement allowed for customer acceptance of the software or services, the Company
deferred revenue recognition until the earlier of customer acceptance or when the acceptance right lapses.

MAINTENANCE
AND CONSULTING REVENUE RECOGNITION

Maintenance
revenues were recognized using a time-based approach equally over the term of the maintenance contract. The liability relating to the
received but unearned portion of maintenance revenues was recognized as deferred revenues.

Consulting
revenue, which represents services provided on a per diem basis to customers, was recognized as the services were performed as there
are no customer acceptance provisions involved in these types of arrangements. Consulting revenue, which represents services provided
on a fixed price basis to customers, was recognized upon achieving the related performance obligation.

In
general, credit terms of 30 days were extended to customers with a small number of customers receiving longer payment terms based on
the long-standing relationship with ZIM.

MOBILE
REVENUE RECOGNITION

Aggregation
services occur when ZIM sent messages from its content provider customers through mobile operators to end users on their cell phones.
In this situation, the Company contracted with its customers that cannot connect directly to the mobile operators and with the third-party
mobile operators or other aggregators directly for the transmission of the messages. The performance obligation was to transmit a message.
Revenues were recognized in the month in which the performance obligation was satisfied, provided no significant ZIM obligations remained.
We worked with aggregators to provide delivery routes and receive statements and billing in real time. We prepaid for message credits
and billed customers for message delivery at the end of each month. We purchased service credits from the aggregators and billed our
customers directly for the delivery of messages on a monthly basis.

RESEARCH
AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES

 

Costs related
to research, design and development of products and applications are charged to research and development expense as incurred. Software
development costs are capitalized beginning when a product’s technological feasibility has been established, which generally occurs upon
completion of a working model, and ending when a product is available for general release to customers. All subsequent costs are expensed
as incurred. To date, completing a working model of the Company’s products and the general release of the products has substantially
coincided. The Company has not capitalized any software development costs since such costs have not been significant.

 

The Company
qualifies for scientific research and experimental development refundable investment tax credits. These credits are recorded as a reduction
of research and development expense when it is more likely than not that the credits will be realized. Other non-refundable investment
tax credits not utilized in the current year will be used to offset income taxes otherwise payable in future year and will be accounted
for as a reduction in income tax expense.

 

TRANSLATION
OF FOREIGN CURRENCIES

 

The Company’s
reporting currency is the U.S. dollar and the functional currency is the Canadian dollar for ZIM Corporation and NuvoBio.

 

Transactions
denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the Company or its subsidiaries are initially measured using the exchange
rate in effect on the date of the transaction. At each balance sheet date, monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured into the functional
currency using the exchange rate in effect on that date. Any foreign exchange gains or losses resulting from this remeasurement are recognized
in the statement of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) of the respective entity for that period. For the years ended March
31, 2021, 2020, and 2019, the Company recognized a foreign exchange gain of $923, $1,075, and $7,221 respectively, in the accompanying
consolidated statements of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) included in the selling, general and administrative expenses.

 

The translation
of the Company’s financial statements and those of its subsidiaries from their respective functional currencies to the Company’s
reporting currency is performed as follows: all assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the rate of exchange in effect
at the balance sheet date. Equity transactions and cash flows related to investing and financing activities are translated at the exchange
rate in effect at the date of the transaction. Revenues, expenses and cash flows related to operating activities are translated at the
weighted average exchange rates for the period. The resulting translation adjustments are included in accumulated other comprehensive
income (loss) in shareholders’ equity. The translation adjustments did not result in a tax impact.

INCOME
TAXES

 

Income
taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences
attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective
tax basis and operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards using enacted tax rates and laws in effect in the year in which the differences
are expected to reverse. When necessary, a valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the tax assets to an amount for which realization
is more likely than not. The effect of changes in tax rates is recognized in the period in which the rate change occurs.

 

The Company
is subject to examination by taxing authorities in the jurisdictions of Canada, Brazil and the United States. Management does not believe
that there are any uncertain tax positions that would result in an asset or liability for taxes being recognized in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements.

 

EARNINGS
(LOSS) PER SHARE

 

Basic earnings
(loss) per share are computed by dividing net earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings per share are calculated giving effect to the potential dilution that could
occur if securities or other contracts to issue common shares were exercised or converted to such shares at the later of the beginning
of the period or the issuance date. The treasury stock method is used to determine the dilutive effect of warrants and stock options.
The treasury stock method assumes that proceeds received from the exercise of in-the-money share purchase warrants and stock options
are used to repurchase common shares at the average market price during the period.

 

STOCK
OPTIONS AND GRANTS

 

Compensation
cost for all stock-based awards is measured at fair value on the date of grant and recognized as compensation expense over the service
period for awards expected to vest. Stock-based awards granted to consultants are measured at fair value on the grant date and compensation
expense is recognized on the date at which the consultant’s performance is complete which, for the Company, is on the date of grant.

 

The fair
value of stock options is determined using the Black Scholes-Merton option pricing model. The expected dividend yield is based on historical
dividend payouts, the expected volatility is based on historical volatilities of company stock (management believes that the historical
volatility is an appropriate measure of expected volatility) for a period approximating the expected life; the risk-free rate is based
on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for periods corresponding with the expected life of the option; and the
expected life represents the period of time the options are expected to be outstanding and is based on historical trends. The weighted
average assumptions used in the computations are as follows:

EQUIPMENT

 

Equipment
is recorded at cost net of depreciation and any impairment losses. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the underlying
assets using the following methods and rates:

  

Computer equipment   40%   Declining balance
Software   40%   Declining balance
Office furniture and equipment   20%   Declining balance
Voice communications equipment   20%   Declining balance
Leasehold improvements   5 years   Straight line over the
lesser of 5 years or

IMPAIRMENT
OF EQUIPMENT

 

Equipment
is tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the Company may not be able to recover the net book
value of its productive assets, If the carrying value of these assets is not recoverable, the assets are deemed impaired and are to be
written down to their estimated fair value through a charge to earnings (loss). The guidance states that fair values may be estimated
using discounted cash flow analysis or quoted market prices, together with other available information. The Company reviewed its property
and equipment assets for impairment to determine if there were events or changes in circumstances that would indicate that the carrying
amount of the assets may not be recoverable through undiscounted future cash flows. It was determined that no impairment was evident.

 

INVESTMENTS

 

ZIM measures
the value of its equity investments in privately-held companies, which do not have readily determinable fair values, using the alternative
measurement basis permitted under Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-01, Financial Instruments – Overall:
Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
. Under this
alternative measurement basis, equity investments in privately-held companies without readily determinable fair values are measured at
cost, less any impairments, plus or minus any adjustments resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical
or similar investment of the same issuer. In the absence of observable price changes, the alternative measurement basis of cost less
any impairments is used as a valuation methodology.

ADOPTED
ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

None.

RECENTLY
ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS – NOT YET ADOPTED

From
time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) or other standards
setting bodies that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the Company’s management
believes that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have any significant impact on the consolidated
financial statements upon adoption.

In
June 2016, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326).
This ASU represents a significant change in the Accounting for Credit Losses (“ACL”) accounting model by requiring immediate
recognition of management’s estimates of current expected credit losses (CECL). Under the prior model, losses were recognized only
as they were incurred, which FASB has noted delayed recognition of expected losses that might not yet have met the threshold of being
probable.
The new standard effective date for Smaller Reporting Companies
is fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact ASU 2016-13 will
have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

 

In
April 2020, ZIM sold all of its assets related to the database and software business with an effective
date of April 1, 2020. The business was sold for cash consideration of $120,000 Canadian dollars to be paid in five equal
installments over 5 years. The fair value of these payments is estimated at $78,924 US dollars. ZIM recognized a net gain on the
sale of these assets in the amount $223,549. The net gain is a combination of a loss on the sale of $348,455 netted against a
currency translation reversal of $572,004. This business had definable revenues and expenses and has been accounted for as a
discontinued operations as per ASU 2014-08.

At
December 31, 2020, ZIM ceased all operations related to the SMS messaging business due to low profit margins and uncertainty in the future
of the business. This business had definable revenues and expenses and has been accounted for as a discontinued
operations as per ASU 2014-08.

LINE OF CREDIT

 

During
fiscal 2021, a working capital line of credit, in the form of overdraft protection, was available at approximately $39,760 (equivalent
to $50,000 Canadian, the Company’s functional currency) from the Company’s major financial institution. This credit facility
is secured by the Company’s assets. Amounts can be drawn in Canadian funds on this credit facility and bear interest at the prime
rate, as published by the Royal Bank of Canada, plus 2.15% (4.60% at March 31, 2021). Amounts can also be drawn in United States of America
funds on this credit facility and bear interest at the US Base Rate plus 2.15% (5.90% at March 31, 2021).

 

In order

STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

 

During
the years ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019 the Company issued common shares options to employees and non-employees, and as a result,
additional paid in capital has been increased by $2,156 and $1,807 respectively.

 

The increase
in additional paid in capital is the value associated with the granting and the vesting of options, which is recorded as compensation
expense in the statement of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) as a part of selling, general and administrative expense.

 

Under ZIM’s
Employee Stock Option Plan, the Company may grant options to its officers, directors and employees for up to 1,360,000 common shares.
As at March 31, 2021, options to purchase 80,500 (March 31, 2020, 161,500) were outstanding under the Employee Stock Option Plan. Stock
options are granted with an exercise price equal to the common share’s fair market value at the date of grant. Options are granted
periodically, and both the maximum term of an option and the vesting period are set at the Board’s discretion. All options granted vested
on the day of grant and have a three-year term. The expected life of the grants due to forfeitures and exercise of options is estimated
based on recent history and is 3 years.

The Company
and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in Canadian and U.S. federal jurisdictions, and various provincial jurisdictions. The Company’s
federal income tax returns are generally subject to examination for a period of three years after filing of the respective return in
the U.S. and Canada.

 

Income
tax expense varies from the amount that would be computed by applying the basic federal and provincial income tax rates to income (loss)
before taxes, as follows:

 

    Year ended March 31,

The change
in valuation allowance for originating temporary differences and losses available for carry forward, is calculated using an expected
deferred tax rate of 12.2%, based on the application of the Small Business Deduction. The rate at which such amounts may be realized
as disclosed as part of a deferred tax asset and related valuation allowance takes into account the enacted tax rate decreases over the
expected period of realization.

 

Refundable
investment tax credits for research and development in Canada of $11,928, $128,718 and $171,204 for the years ended March 31, 2021, March
31, 2020 and March 31, 2019, respectively is netted against research and development expense. The investment tax credits are subject
to review and approval by taxation authorities and it is possible that the amounts granted will be different from the amounts recorded
by the Company.

 

Deferred
taxes reflect the impact of temporary differences between amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and such
amounts as measured by tax laws. The Company’s deferred tax assets are as follows:

INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE

 

For the
purposes of the income (loss) per share computation, the weighted average number of common shares outstanding has been used.

 

The following
securities are considered “in the money” and could potentially dilute the basic income per share in the future but have not
been included in diluted loss income per share because their effect was antidilutive for all periods presented:

 

    March 31, 2021   March 31, 2020   March 31, 2019
                         
Stock options     80,500       161,500       170,250  

 

Diluted
income (loss) per share for the years ended March 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 is deemed to be identical to basic loss per share as exercise
of the options outstanding is antidilutive.
