1. Nature of operations and going concern

Jasper Commerce Inc. (formerly SaaSquatch Capital Corp.) (together with its subsidiary, the "Company" or "Jasper") was incorporated on March 22, 2021, under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia). The Company is domiciled in Canada and its head office, principal address and records office are located at 44 Victoria Street, Suite 820, Toronto, Ontario M5C 1Y2.

On February 16, 2022, SaaSquatch Capital Corp. ("SCC"), a Capital Pool Company as defined in Policy 2.4 of the TSX Venture Exchange, acquired Jasper Interactive Studios Inc. in a reverse takeover transaction ("RTO") (see Note 3) and began trading its common shares on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol JPIM.

Jasper is a Software-as-a-service ("SaaS") Product Information Management ("PIM") solution empowering eCommerce retailers, wholesalers or distributors to centralize, organize and richly merchandise their products from a single central repository.

Jasper's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain additional financing to support its operations or to generate sufficient and sustained cash flows from its operating activities. It is not possible to predict whether financing efforts will be successful in the future. Failure to obtain such financing could result in delay or indefinite postponement of the Company's strategic goals. These material uncertainties may cast significant doubt upon the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

b) Options

Under Jasper's current Stock Option Plan (the "Plan"), its directors may approve the issuance of stock options to directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company and its affiliates. The aggregate number of shares reserved for issuance under the Plan is up to 10% of the number of outstanding common shares. As at October 31, 2022, 4,666,605 stock options remain outstanding at exercise prices ranging from $0.125 to $0.50 per share. Options for the Company's directors generally vest immediately, while options for employees generally vest ratably over a period of three years. All options have a life of five years and have expiry dates ranging from September 2023 to October 2027.

5. Reserves (continued)

Jasper measures compensation costs associated with stock-based compensation using the fair value method and the cost is recognized over the vesting period of the underlying security. Expected volatilities are based on market data of public companies in a similar industry and of a similar size as Jasper. The fair value of each option is determined at the grant date using the Black-Scholes option valuation model with the following weighted average assumptions:

Oct 2022
Share price $ 0.08
Exercise price $ 0.125
Life 5 years
Annualized volatility 120%
Dividend yield 0%
Risk-free rate 3.71%
Fair value (per option) $ 0.06

During the three months ended October 31, 2022, $81,155 (2021 – $69,583) was recognized as stock-based compensation in profit and loss. This expense includes a reversal of $8,166 (2021 – $nil) of expenses recognized in a previous period for which the award did not ultimately vest.

At October 31, 2022, the remaining unvested value of the Company's stock options is $258,164 which will be recognized through October 2025.

The following table sets out information concerning stock options issued to employees, consultants, directors and officers that were outstanding at October 31, 2022:

a) Classification of financial instruments

Carrying Value($) Fair Value($)
Classification October31, 2022 October31, 2022
Financial assets:
Cash and cash equivalents Amortized cost 1,168,760 1,168,760

Financial liabilities:
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities Amortized cost 893,620 893,620
Loans payable (Note 4) Amortized cost 288,180 288,180

b) Fair value of financial instruments

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, the loans payable approximate their fair values due to the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments.

Financial instruments recorded at fair value are classified using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of inputs used in making the measurements. The hierarchy is summarized as follows:

  • Level 1 Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
  • Level 2 Inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (prices) or indirectly (derived from prices) from observable market data.
  • Level 3 Inputs for assets and liabilities not based upon observable market data.

There were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3 for the three months ending October 31, 2022 and 2021.

9. Financial risk management

a) Currency risk

Jasper operates internationally and is exposed to risk from changes in foreign currency rates. Foreign currency risk arises from the fluctuation of foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility of these rates relative to the Canadian dollar. The Company sells PIM software subscriptions and consulting services in both Canadian and foreign currencies. The sale of software and services in foreign currencies gives rise to the risk that the Company's income and cash flows may be adversely impacted by fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. Certain purchases of services and equipment are also made in non-Canadian currencies. The Company does not actively manage this risk and uses its natural hedge to mitigate, to the extent possible, the impact of foreign exchange fluctuations.

9. Financial risk management (continued)

Jasper is primarily exposed to foreign exchange risk from transactions in U.S. dollars. The sensitivity analysis of its exposure to currency risk has been determined based on a hypothetical change in the foreign exchange rates taking place at the reporting date. Fluctuations of 10% in the exchange rates for these currencies, when compared to the Canadian dollar, are not expected to individually have a material effect on the Company's results of financial performance.

b) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to Jasper if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company's financial assets that are exposed to credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable.

At October 31, 2022, all Jasper's cash and cash equivalents were held at one major Canadian bank.

In the normal course of business, Jasper continuously monitors the financial condition of its customers and reviews the credit history of each new customer. As of October 31, 2022, two customers represented 37% (July 31, 2022 – four customers represented 59%) of the Company's trade receivables. The Company is using the simplified expected credit losses method to estimate its provision for credit losses, which considers the specific credit risk of its customers, the expected lifetime of its financial assets, historical trends and economic conditions.

The following table provides the details of the aged receivables and the related expected credit losses:

1 to 30 31 to 60 61 to 90 Over 90

Expected credit losses - - - - (64,819) (64,819)

For the three months ending October 31, 2022, Jasper reflected expected credit losses of $nil (2021 – $39,056) in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss which are included in selling and marketing expenses.

9. Financial risk management (continued)

c) Liquidity risk:

Liquidity risk is the risk that Jasper will not be able to meet its obligations as they fall due (see also Note 1).

Jasper manages its liquidity risk by forecasting cash flows from operations and anticipated investing and financing activities. Senior management is also actively involved in the review and approval of planned expenditures.

As at October 31, 2022, Jasper has current liabilities of $1,136,338, cash of $1,168,760, and working capital of $868,800. The Company's financial liabilities are due as follows:

To October 31, 2023 2024 2025 2026 2027
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities $ 893,620 $- $- $- $-
Loans 130,430 69,530 19,920 8,300 -
$ 1,024,050 $ 69,530 $ 19,920 $ 8,300 $-

10. Segmented information

Jasper identified its operating segment based on the financial information that is reviewed and used by executive management (collectively, the Chief Operating Decision Maker, or "CODM") in assessing performance and in determining the allocation of resources. The CODM considers the business from a single operating segment perspective and assess the performance of the segment-based measures of profit and loss as well as assets and liabilities.

As the operations are a single segment, all amounts disclosed in the consolidated financial statements represent segment amounts.

Product categorization information

For the three months ended October 31, 2022, Jasper earned revenue attributed to the following product categories based on the main product or service sold to the customer:

2022 2021
SaaS PIM subscriptions $ 308,554 $ 285,038
Professional services 71,172 167,224
Total $379,726 452,262

For the three months ended October 31, 2022, the Company earned 1% (2021 – 13%) of its revenue from a customer controlled by a shareholder (see Note 6).

10. Segmented information (continued)

Fair value adjustments (924)
Interest earned on invested funds (9,705) -
$ (4,582) $ 228,852

12. Government support

During the prior year, the Canadian federal government made certain government support programs available to eligible entities as part of its COVID-19 economic response plan. The Company applied and received support under the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy ("CEWS") and Canada Emergency Business Account ("CEBA") programs. Each applicant's eligibility for these programs is subject to validation and detailed verification by the federal government. Due to nature of the eligibility requirements and related calculations, it is possible that the eligibility requirements may not be considered to be met upon validation, and as such the benefits received may be repayable.

During the three months ended October 31, 2022, the Company received $nil of wage subsidies in connection with the CEWS program (2021 – $36,474). These amounts are included in salaries that are related to general and administrative, research and development and sales and marketing.

During the prior year, the Company received $60,000 of loan proceeds in connection with the CEBA program. As at October 31, 2022 this loan amount is included in Loans under non-current liabilities.

The Government tax and subsidy receivable of $434,447 (2021 - 385,255) is comprised of GST/HST receivable of $180,868 (2021 – nil) and a Scientific Research and Experimental Development Receivable of $253,579 (2021- $385,255).

13. Contingencies

A former employee commenced proceedings against Jasper by way of Notice of Action issued December 17, 2021 and subsequent Statement of Claim filed January 14, 2022. The claim against Jasper seeks $1,000,000 in damages for wrongful dismissal, breach of contract, tortious conduct and/or negligent misrepresentation, a declaration pursuant to section 248 of the OBCA and an order compelling Jasper to purchase the employee's shares in Jasper. Jasper is contesting the action and believes the case is without merit. A reliable estimate of the amount of any payment required by the Company cannot be made at this time and therefore the Company has not recorded a provision for this amount.

14. Subsequent events

There were no subsequent events to report.
