The accompanying notes to the condensed financial statements are an integral part of these financial statements SCHEDULE I - NOTES TO THE CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION Tucows Inc. (the “Parent Company”) is a holding company that conducts substantially all of its business operations through its subsidiaries. The Parent Company holds a direct 100% ownership interest in Tucows (Delaware) Inc., which holds the Parent Company’s interest in Tucows.com Co (“Tucows.com Co”), eNom LLC ("eNom"), EPAG Domainservices GmbH (“EPAG”), Ascio Technologies, Corp (“Ascio”), Ting Inc. (“Ting Inc”), Wavelo, Inc. (“Wavelo”) and Ting Fiber, LLC (“Ting Fiber”). The Parent Company was incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in November 1992 under the name Infonautics, Inc. In August 2001, we completed our acquisition of Tucows Inc., a Delaware corporation, and we changed our name from Infonautics, Inc. to Tucows Inc. The Parent Company was established to allocate capital and manage internet and telecom infrastructure businesses. Through its operating subsidiaries, the Parent Company offers a broad range of services including fixed Internet access, billing and subscription management platform services for communication service providers and distribution of global internet services through the provision of domain name registrations, digital certificates and email services. As of December 31, 2024, Ting Fiber LLC, had restricted net assets of $(30.6) million. These restrictions primarily limit our ability to transfer funds from our subsidiaries without violating contractual agreements. The Company continuously evaluates the impact of these restrictions on liquidity and capital resource planning. The Company operates within a consolidated tax group, comprising the Parent Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Deferred taxes are not separately identified and recorded at the parent level. No dividends have been received from any of our subsidiaries in the past three years. Change in basis of presentation for subsidiary investment accounts and adjustment of prior period reported amounts Certain amounts in the 2023 Parent Company Condensed Financial Statements have been adjusted to change the basis of presentation of the subsidiary investment accounts. These changes had no impact on total net income and total shareholders' equity previously reported in the comparative figures presented in the Parent Company Condensed Financial Statements. NOTE 2. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The Parent Company and its subsidiaries, excluding Ting Fiber, LLC, have revolving credit facilities through third-party financial institutions. The total available amount on the credit facilities is $240 million, and as at December 31, 2024, $195.4 million was drawn on the credit facilities. The Parent Company had no other material commitments or contingencies during the reported periods. NOTE 3. SHARE CAPITAL The Company's authorized common share capital is 250 million shares of common stock without nominal or par value. As of December 31, 2024, and 2023, the number of outstanding shares of common stock was 11,014,655 and 10,903,405, respectively. The Parent Company issued 111,250, 86,295, and 40,459 common stock during the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively related to stock-based compensation. The Parent Company retired nil, nil and 3,053 common stock during the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively related to stock options exercised.
