NOTE 2 – BASIS OF PREPARATION (a) Statement of Compliance These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of GECC, the ultimate parent company of its consolidated group, and its subsidiaries and are prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 – Interim Financial Reporting (“IAS 34”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). Certain disclosures included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS® Accounting Standards as issued by the IASB have been condensed or omitted. Accordingly, these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended August 31, 2025. The accounting policies applied in the preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements are consistent with those applied and disclosed in Note 28 of the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended August 31, 2025. These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Com --- pany were approved by the Company’s Board of Directors and authorized for issue on April 13, 2026. (b) Use of Estimates, Assumptions and Judgements In the preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements and the application of the Company’s accounting policies, management is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the dates of the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during each reporting period. The estimates and associated assumptions are limited by the relevance of historical data and uncertainty of future events, and are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Critical judgements and estimates made by management in applying the Company’s accounting policies including significant areas of estimation uncertainty were the same as those applied and disclosed in Note 3 to the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended August 31, 2025. (c) New accounting standards, interpretations and amendments not yet effective Certain new accounting standards, amendments to standards, and interpretations have been issued by the IASB that are not mandatory for the current period and have not been early adopted. These standards are not expected to have a material impact on the Company in the year of adoption as described in Note 4(b) to the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended August 31, 2025. GLOBAL EDUCATION COMMUNITIES CORP. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) All amounts in thousands of Canadian Dollars except share and per share amounts February 28, 2026 NOTE 2 – BASIS OF PREPARATION (continued) (d) Discontinued operations Discontinued operations are reported when a component of the Company, representing a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations with clearly distinguishable cash flows, has been disposed of or is held for sale. Classification as a discontinued operation occurs upon disposal or when the operation meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale, if earlier. Discontinued operations are reported as a separate element on the consolidated statements of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) for both the current and comparative periods. For the period ended February 28, 2026, the Company classified and reported SSLC and SSCC as discontinued operations. NOTE 3 – INVESTMENT PROPERTIES The following table is a reconciliation of investment properties balances, including both revenue producing properties and properties under development, which are owned by the real estate limited partnerships which the Company controls. The Company selected the fair value model to apply to its investment properties. February 28, 2026 August 31, 2025 Balance, beginning of period $ 306,494 $ 419,002 Development costs 909 1,771 Capitalized borrowing costs(2) 2,034 8,503 Derecognized investment properties (Note 4) - (105,500) Net gain (loss) on change in fair value 326 (17,282) Balance, end of period $ 309,763 $ 306,494 (1) Two right-of-use assets are classified as investment properties. The fair value of the right-of-use assets are determined based on present value of the estim --- ated future net cash flows of the right-of-use assets. (2) Borrowing costs are capitalized on properties under development which are considered qualifying assets. Borrowings are directly associated with the specific project. NOTE 4 – INVESTMENT IN JOINT VENTURE (a) GEC Oakridge On November 20, 2024, the Company executed several agreements relating to the investment in the GEC® Oakridge investment property by an affiliate of Pomerleau Capital Inc.

PCAP's gross investment amount was $10,000, of which $5,000 was invested into the LP11 and $5,000 was repatriated by the existing unit holders, which are controlled limited partnerships of the Company. Upon completion of these transactions, PCAP and the Company own 34.5% and 13.1% equity interest in LP11, respectively. The remaining 52.4% of LP11 is owned by a limited partnership of which the Company gained control during the reorganization (“Oakridge LP”). Upon closing of the transaction, net assets of LP11 were derecognized and net assets of Oakridge LP were recognized. Net assets of LP11 include $53,000 of investment property, $28,722 of secured loans, and $471 of other assets.

LP11 secured loans are guaranteed by the Company. (2) The Company charged $530 of development management fees to LP11 during the period ended February 28, 2026 (February 28, 2025 - $Nil). These fees are capita --- lized to investment properties in the accounts of LP11 and recognized as revenue in the Company's income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss). The downstream revenue is eliminated to the extent of the Company's economic interest in the investee. (3) Under the terms of the LP11 partnership agreement, net losses for each fiscal period are allocated first to GECC and Oakridge LP (proportionate to each investor's ownership interest in LP11) until each of its capital accounts reach $Nil, then to PCAP until its capital account reaches $Nil, and any remaining losses to the general partner. Net income is allocated in the reverse order, first to recoup prior year loss allocations of each investor, and any remaining profits proportionate to each investors' ownership interest in LP11. In accordance with these terms, 100% of LP11's net loss during the periods ended February 28, 2026 and February 28, 2025 was allocated to the Company. GLOBAL EDUCATION COMMUNITIES CORP.

(b) GEC Education Mega Center On May 1, 2025, the Company executed several agreements with Pure Group of Companies (the "Pure Group") relating to the investment in the GEC EMC investment property. A series of reorganization transactions were completed which resulted in the Company and the Pure Group jointly controlling the newly formed limited partnership (the "Pure GECC LP") which became the beneficial owner of the GEC EMC investment property. The Pure Group contributed $4,000 in cash in exchange for 20% of equity interest in Pure GECC LP, and the Company contributed the GEC EMC investment property in exchange for 80% of equity interest in, and $7,750 in non-interest bearing receivables from, the Pure GECC LP. Pure GECC LP also assumed all secured loans associated with the GEC EMC investment property as part of the transaction. Upon closing of the transaction, the contractual value of the investment property was determined to be a reasonable estimate for the fair value of the investment property.

Receivable from developer relates to GEC Project 9 described below, and the amount before provision for expected credit losses includes $6,000 of outstanding interest receivable (August 31, 2025 - $6,000). GEC Project 9 Pursuant to a Purchase and Development Agreement (“LP9 PDA”) with a Vancouver developer for the construction of a number of buildings, a controlled limited partnership of the Company, GEC Limited Partnership 9 (“GEC LP9”) had paid a total of $60,000 in deposits associated with the right to purchase a portion of the completed project. The LP9 PDA was subsequently amended with $20,000 of the deposits already paid to be returned to GEC LP9 with the remainder $40,000 deposit to be applied to the purchase price. The $20,000 receivable is subject to interest of 15% per annum and the Company has recognized accrued interest of $6,000 as at February 28, 2026 (August 31, 2025 - $6,000). Numerous project milestones were missed and on April 1, 2022, the developer and its partners (collectively, the “Developer”) applied for and were granted an initial order to commence proceedings under the Canadian Companies’ Creditor Arrangement Act (the “CCAA”) to restructure its business. Under the CCAA proceedings, the Developer under the supervision of the Supreme Court of British Columbia (the “Court), was to determine whether the project would be restructured or sold. At February 28, 2026 , it was not known whether there would be a successful bid for the purchase of the property or restructuring of the project; however, based on activity there is the possibility that GEC LP9 may not be repaid any portion of the amount receivable from the Developer, despite this balance being secured by a third mortgage. GEC LP9 has recognized an expected credit loss provision related to the $20,000 receivable (plus $6,000 of accrued interest) due from the developer of $22,700, and an impairment loss of $40,000 related to the $40,000 deposit during the year ended August 31, 2022. At February 28, 2026, net development assets associated with GEC Project 9 was $3,300 (August 31, 2025 - $3,300). --- On October 6, 2022, GEC LP9 and its general partner filed a notice of civil claim with the Supreme Court commencing legal action against the mortgage lender for the project. In December 2022, GEC LP9 and its general partner responded to a counterclaim filed. The liability portion of the trial completed in May 2024. On August 7, 2024, the Supreme Court dismissed the claims of GEC LP9 and its general partner, and allowed the mortgage lender’s counterclaim against them with damages to be assessed (the “Trial Decision”). GEC LP9 and its general partner have appealed the Trial Decision to the BC Court of Appeal. By means of a decision dated September 22, 2025, the BC Court of Appeal allowed the appeal in part and remitted certain questions back to the BC Supreme Court. Also, on or about November 21, 2025, the mortgage lender applied for leave to the Supreme Court of Canada, seeking to overturn portions of the BC Court of Appeal decision. Proceedings in both the BC Court of Appeal and Supreme Court of Canada Appeal remain on-going at this time. GLOBAL EDUCATION COMMUNITIES CORP.

In February 2020, the Company issued Canadian dollar denominated convertible debentures (the “2020 Debentures”) and received proceeds of $860. For the 2019 Debentures and 2020 Debentures, each debenture holder may elect to convert all or part of its outstanding principal into common shares of the Company at the conversion prices set at issuance. For the 2019 Debentures, the conversion prices were set in the currency of funding and ranged between HKD 4.80 and HKD 5.00 for HKD denominated debentures, and $0.78 for Canadian dollar denominated debentures. The 2020 Debenture conversion price was set at $0.81. Interest payments are made either quarterly or semi-annually at a rate ranging between 8% to 10% per annum as specified in the individual debenture. During period ended February 28, 2026, the maturity date of the 2019 Debentures were amended and the convertible feature cancelled. At February 28, 2026, the 2019 Debentures mature in May 2027 and the 2020 Debentures are due on demand. In September 2024, the Company issued convertible debentures for proceeds of $1,505 (“2024 Debentures”).

Interest is payable quarterly at a 10% per annum interest rate. At initial recognition, the convertible debentures are considered a compound financial instrument that included a host liability classified as amortized cost and a conversion option classified as equity. At initial recognition, the fair value of the host liability was determined first ($1,346) with the residual amount ($126) allocated as equity component to the compound financial instrument. During the period ended February 28, 2026, $97 of the outstanding 2024 Debentures were converted into 277,777 common shares of the Company (August 31, 2025 - $390 and 1,300,000 common shares).

During the year ended August 31, 2025, the weighted average fair value of stock options granted of per option was calculated as of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions and inputs: expected life of 5.00 years; risk-free interest rate of 2.90% ; expected volatility of 45.41%; weighted average forfeiture rate of 8.61% ; and weighted average share price of $ 0.25. The expected volatility assumption is based on historical volatility of the Company’s common share price on the TSX. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based on yield curves on Canadian government zero coupon bonds with the remaining term equal to the stock options expected life. The options outstanding at February 28, 2026 had an exercise price range of $0.22 to $0.53 (August 31, 2025 - $0.22 to $0.53) and a weighted average contractual life of 2.94 years (August 31, 2025 – 3.44 years).

The carrying value for Secured loan receivable, Long-term receivable, Note receivable and Current development assets is considered a reasonable approximation of its fair value taking into consideration the expected credit loss provision that has been recognized (Note 5). With the exception of one secured loan, the fair value of Secured loans payable, Lease liabilities, liabilities portion of Convertible debentures, Loans payable and Government loans approximate their carrying value as current market interest rates are not significantly different than stated interest rates for these instruments. At February 28, 2026, the fair value of one secured loan was $3,287 lower than the carrying amount due to below market interest rate on the loan. The fair value of secured loans has been determined by discounting the contractual cash flows using implied yields of obligations bearing similar credit risk and maturities. All financial instruments not measured at fair value are considered level 2 financial assets or liabilities under the fair value hierarchy, except for the receivable from developer of $3,300 and loans receivable of $3,740 which are considered level 3 financial assets. Measurement o --- f fair value As described in Note 28(J) to the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended August 31, 2025 the fair value hierarchy establishes three levels to classify the significance of inputs to valuation techniques used in making fair value measurements of financial assets and liabilities. At February 28, 2026 and August 31, 2025, other than Long term receivables, there were no financial assets and financial liabilities measured and recognized at fair value on a non-recurring basis. There were no transfers between any of the levels during the six months ended February 28, 2026. The valuation methodologies for level 2 and level 3 financial liabilities are described in Note 22(b) to the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended August 31, 2025. There were no changes to the valuation methodology used in the measurement of fair value for level 2 or level 3 financial assets and liabilities during the six months ended February 28, 2026. (b) Financial instruments risk A description of the Company’s financial instruments and financial risks that the Company is exposed to and management of these risks is included in Note 22 and Note 23 to the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended August 31, 2025. There were no significant changes in the Company’s exposures to those risks during the six months ended February 28, 2026. The Canadian prime rate decreased from 4.95% to 4.45% during the six months ended February 28, 2026. Lower interest rates result in reduced required cash flows to finance debt which will impact the Company’s results and future cash flows. The total proportion of principal subject to variable interest was 26% at February 28, 2026 (August 31, 2025 - 49%). The weighted average interest rate paid by the Company at February 28, 2026 was 5.5% on its secured loans (August 31, 2025 – 5.7%). GLOBAL EDUCATION COMMUNITIES CORP.
