NON-GAAP MEASURES AND ADDITIONAL GAAP MEASURES
Throughout this document, reference is made to "gross profit", "working capital", and "Adjusted EBITDA", which are all non-IFRS measures. Management believes that gross profit is a useful supplemental measure of operations and that working capital is a useful indicator of the Corporation's liquidity and its ability to meet its current obligations. While EBITDA, which is earnings before finance costs including unrealized gains and losses on financial instruments, tax, and depreciation and amortization, is a useful measure, Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is a more appropriate measure for comparing results from one period to another as Adjusted EBITDA normalizes earnings to exclude certain non-operating, non-cash, and extraordinary amounts. Other key metrics are Monthly Recurring Revenue ("MRR") and Churn Rate. All these terms are defined below. Readers are cautioned that these non-IFRS measures may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies. Readers are also cautioned not to view these non-IFRS financial measures as an alternative to financial measures calculated in accordance with IFRS.
NON-GAAP MEASURES DEFINITIONS
"Adjusted EBITDA" is a measure of the Corporation's operating profitability. Adjusted EBITDA provides an indication of the results generated by the Corporation's principal business activities prior to how these activities are financed (including fair value adjustments of the convertible debenture value), assets are depreciated and amortized or how the results are taxed in various jurisdictions, prior to the effect of foreign exchange, other income and expenses, and non-cash share-based payment expense. Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to represent net earnings as calculated in accordance with IFRS.

Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as follows:
"Working capital" is used by management and the investment community to analyze the operating liquidity available to the Corporation. Working capital is calculated based on current assets less current liabilities.

Working capital is derived from the statements of financial positions and is calculated as follows:

"Monthly recurring revenue" or "MRR" is used by management as a measure of performance as a Software as a Service ("SaaS") company. Management is focused on increasing the Corporation's MRR with its existing customer base as well as by adding additional customers.
"Churn" is used by management as a measure of performance as a SaaS company. Churn is measurement of MRR that is cancelled or not renewed.
ADDITIONAL GAAP MEASURES DEFINITIONS
"Funds used in operations" is used by management to analyze the funds generated by the Corporation's principal business activities prior to consideration of working capital, which is primarily made up of highly liquid balances. This balance is reported in the Statements of Cash Flows included in the cash provided by operating activities section.
"Gross profit" is used by management to analyze overall and segmented operating performance. Gross profit is not intended to represent an alternative to net earnings or other measures of financial performance calculated in accordance with IFRS. Gross profit is calculated from the statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) and from the segmented information contained in the notes to the financial statements. Gross profit is defined as revenue less cost of revenue.
"Gross profit percentage" is used by management to analyze overall and segmented operating performance. Gross profit percentage is calculated from the statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) and from the segmented information in the notes to the financial statements. Gross profit percentage is defined as gross profit divided by revenue.
"Subscription revenue" consists of monthly recurring SaaS fees charged to clients for access to operate the Platform, software updates, new features and technical support.

"Investment services revenue" consists of fees charged to clients on qualifying services and/or transactions processed through Katipult's Platform. While this revenue is expected to be recurring in nature, it will vary in size and timing as it is based on the volume and characteristics of the transactions processed.
"Integration revenue" are charges to clients for services that are viewed by the Corporation to be one-time in nature and to new clients for the provision of regulatory consulting services, and marketing and customization services. The charges vary depending on the amount and complexity of the work involved and the nature of the client's needs.

FINANCIAL AND OPERATION HIGHLIGHTS
Revenue
The Corporation continues to expand and improve its product to meet the evolving needs of existing and prospective new customers. Over the last several quarters, the Corporation has been focusing on the enterprise market and has made significant progress in capturing well-established financial services companies that can be used as references to spur and support additional sales. When compared to the same period of 2020, Subscription revenue increased 24% and 20% for the three- and six-months ended June 30, 2021 respectively.
The Corporation reported its first investment services revenue in the first quarter of 2021 and continued to generate additional similar revenue in the second quarter. This revenue stream is the result of fees charged to clients on qualifying services and/or transactions processed through Katipult's Platform. While this revenue is expected to be recurring in nature, it will vary in size and timing as it is based on the volume and characteristics of the transactions processed.
The Corporation reported integration revenue of $10 in the second quarter of 2021. Integration revenue is nonrecurring and fluctuates from quarter-to-quarter as it is dependent on the number of new customers brought on in the quarter, and the level of the client's needs of regulatory requirements, the level of customer-facing customization required and issues needing to be addressed to make the client ready to onboard.
Continued investment impacts Adjusted EBITDA and Net Income
The gross profit percentage was 79.2% for the three-month period ended June 30, 2021 (three-month period ended June 30, 2020: 76.9%). The Corporation has maintained a gross profit percentage of over 70.0% since the fourth quarter of 2017.

Adjusted EBITDA losses increased to $376 in the second quarter of 2021 (2020: $325) and $705 for the first half of 2021 (2020: $592). The increase is mostly due to the higher salaries, subcontractors, and benefits expenditures as the Corporation continues to grow its base of key employees. The increased expenses were partially offset by increased revenue. The Corporation's net loss and comprehensive loss decreased to $323 and $1,161 for the threeand six-month period ended June 30, 2021 compared to $620 and $1,348 recorded in the comparative period of 2020. The decreased loss is due in large part to the non-cash revaluation of the Corporation's outstanding convertible debentures issued in 2018 (the "2018 Debentures"), partially offset by higher non-cash finance costs from the accretion of the 2021 convertible debenture (the "2021 Debenture").
SECOND QUARTER 2021 HIGHLIGHTS
VoPay Partnership and New Product Enhancements
On May 6, 2021, Katipult announced it had entered into a partnership agreement with VoPay to digitize online payments with speed, transparency and traceability for its SaaS deal management platform.

Operations
The main business of the Corporation is to operate as a financial technology provider offering cloud-based software that allows firms to design, set up and operate an investment platform ("the Platform"). The Platform includes features and functionality that enables firms to offer debt and real-estate financing, as well as securities on a prospectus-exempt basis, to various types of investors.

Investment services revenue is derived through fees charged to clients on qualifying services and/or transactions processed through Katipult's Platform.

The Corporation continues to expand and improve its product to meet the evolving needs of existing and prospective new customers. Over the last several quarters, the Corporation has been focusing on the enterprise market and has made significant progress in capturing well-established, well reputed companies that can be used as references to spur and support additional sales. When compared to the same period of 2020, Subscription revenue has increased 24% and 20% for the three- and six-months ended June 30, 2021 respectively.
The Corporation reported its first investment services revenue in 2021. This is a new revenue stream for the Corporation and is the result of fees charged to clients on qualifying services and/or transactions processed through Katipult's Platform. While this revenue is expected to be recurring in nature, it will vary in size and timing as it is based on the volume and characteristics of the transactions processed.
The Corporation reported integration revenue of $10 in the first half of 2021 (all of it in the second quarter) compared to $31 for the same period last year. Integration revenue is non-recurring and fluctuates from quarterto-quarter as it is dependent on the number of new customers brought on in the quarter, and the level of the client's understanding of regulatory requirements, the level of customer-facing customization required and issues needing to be addressed to make the client ready to onboard.
The gross profit percentage was 79.2% and 79.4% for the three- and six-month period ended June 30, 2021 (2020: 76.9% and 79.5%). The gross profit increase in the second quarter was largely due to the higher integration revenue.

| Share-based payments | 103 | 136 | 59 | 273 |
| Selling, general, and administrative | 609 | 495 | 1,009 | 1,012 |
For the three- and six-month period ended June 30, 2021, selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses before share-based payments and bad debt expenses increased when compared to the same periods in 2020. The increase is the result of additional management hires and higher sales and marketing costs.
During the quarter, the Corporation recovered $7 of previously booked bad debt expense. In 2020, the Corporation took a larger allowance for bad debts due to customers having delayed payments as they dealt with pandemic related uncertainties in their own business. The Corporation continues to target more established customers and has put in place processes to reduce credit risk, including more robust contracts, maintaining a vigilant collection process, credit checks where practical, and establishing a reserve against revenue for estimated uncollectible invoices.
Included in SG&A expenses is share-based payment of $59 (2020: $273). The expense is driven by the issuance and vesting timing of restricted share units and stock options.

| Finance costs | 136 | 81 | 254 | 170 |
| Unrealized (gain) loss on 2018 Debentures | (292) | 69 | 136 | 347 |
Finance costs increased for the three- and six-month period ended June 30, 2021, compared to the same period in the prior year mainly due to increased interest on the 2018 Debentures and the accretion on 2021 Convertible Debentures. The 2018 Debentures are hybrid contracts with multiple embedded derivatives. The Corporation has measured the entire hybrid contract at fair value with adjustments recorded in profit or loss.
The increased interest on the 2018 Debentures is due to the compounding nature of the accrued interest. The interest is a non-cash item prior to maturity.
In the first quarter of 2021, the Corporation issued the 2021 Debenture and recorded a non-cash accretion on that instrument.
Interest on lease obligation is related to an office lease entered in the first quarter of 2020 for the Corporation's head office.
Other interest and charges are related to accretion on the CEBA loans.

Adjusted EBITDA losses increased to $376 in the second quarter of 2021 (2020: $325) and $705 for the first half of 2021 (2020: $592). The increase is mostly due to the higher salaries, subcontractors, and benefits expenditures as the Corporation continues to grow its base of key employees. The increased expenses were partially offset by increased revenue.
The Corporation's net loss and comprehensive loss decreased to $323 and $1,161 for the three- and six-month period ended June 30, 2021 compared to $620 and $1,348 recorded in the comparative period of 2020. The decreased loss is due in large part to the non-cash revaluation of the2018 Debentures, partially offset by higher noncash finance costs from the accretion of the 2021 Debenture.
Funds used in operations increased for the three- and six-month period ended June 30, 2021 compared to the prior comparative periods in 2020. The increase is largely due to the increase in salary, subcontractor, and benefits, offset by the increase in revenue. The cash flow used in operation takes the changes in working capital into account.

Liquidity
As at June 30, 2021, the Corporation's cash and cash equivalents were $3,494 (December 31, 2020: $865). The Corporation had a positive net working capital position of $2,600 (December 31, 2020: $228). The Corporation had a net loss for the period ended June 30, 2021 of $1,161 (June 30, 2020: $1,348), used cash in operations of $484 (June 30, 2020: $529), and had a deficit of $6,211 as at June 30, 2021 (December 31, 2020: $5,050).
While the Corporation has been able to demonstrate the ability to raise capital to fund its operations, the Corporation has not yet been able to generate the sales volumes required to create positive cash flows from operations. Whether and when the Corporation can generate sufficient operating cash flows to pay for its expenditures and settle its obligations as they fall due after June 30, 2021, is uncertain.
The Corporation considers the items included in capital to include shareholders' equity (deficiency) and convertible debentures. The Corporation manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic and business conditions, financing environment and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. In order to maintain or adjust its capital structure, the Corporation may issue new shares, new debt, or scale back the size and nature of its operations. The Corporation is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.
Management regularly reviews its level of capital resources and actively manages its affairs. This review will consider factors such as the current economic environment, changes in demand for the Corporation's services, capital spending requirements, foreign exchange rates, working capital needs, and profitability of the Corporation's operations, any of which could materially affect the Corporation's ability to meet its obligations.
Additional financing may be necessary in a variety of circumstances, including the requirement of working capital to ramp up operations, the occurrence of adverse circumstances, fluctuations in foreign currency translation, or the decision to expand geographically into new markets or by acquisition. In addition, in order to maintain or adjust its capital structure, the Corporation may issue new shares, new debt, or scale back the size and nature of its operations.

It is anticipated that the financing may be raised by bank debt, other forms of debt, or the issuance of equity. It is possible that such financing will not be available, or if available, will not be available on favorable terms.

LOAN PAYABLE
Canadian Emergency Business Account ("CEBA") Loan
During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Corporation was approved for repayable financing of a $40 operating line of credit under the government of Canada's CEBA loan program ("CEBA Loan 1"), bearing interest at 0%.
During the six-month period ended June 30, 2021, the Corporation was approved for repayable financing of an additional $20 operating line of credit under the second phase of the CEBA loan program ("CEBA Loan 2"), also bearing interest at 0%.
The terms of the CEBA Loan 1 and CEBA Loan 2 are as follows:
- In January 2021 both lines of credit automatically converted to two-year term loans bearing interest at 0%, to be repaid on December 31, 2022. There is the option to extend the loans by three years on December 31, 2022, and if this extension is exercised, the term loans will mature on December 31, 2025, at which time the balance must be repaid in full.
- Both loans are interest-free until January 1, 2023. Commencing January 1, 2023, interest accrues on the outstanding balance at a rate of 5% per annum, payable monthly on the last day of each month.
- If the balance of the loans are repaid in full on or before December 31, 2022, $10 of each of the term loans will be forgiven (for a total of $20).
CEBA Loan 1 of $40 was initially recorded at the fair value of $15. The $10 forgivable portion has been recorded as a government grant. The initial discount of $15 on recognition of the loan at fair value has been recorded as deferred revenue and the grant recognition and related accretion has been included in government grants and interest expense in the statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
CEBA Loan 2 of $20 was initially recorded at the fair value of $5. The $10 forgivable portion has been recorded as a government grant. The initial discount of $5 on recognition of the loan at fair value has been recorded as deferred revenue and the grant recognition and related accretion has been included in government grants and interest expense in the statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES
2018 Convertible debentures
During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Corporation issued the 2018 Debentures of $3,050 with a five-year maturity date. The debentures may be extended beyond the maturity date by the holder, in which case the debentures will become due 12 months after receiving notice from the holder. During the year ended December 31, 2018, a convertible debenture holder elected to convert their $50 of convertible debentures plus accrued interest payable into 100,293 common shares.
| As at | June 30, | December 31, |
|---|---|---|
| ($ Cdn thousands) | 2021 | 2020 |
| Balance at the beginning of period | 2,662 | 2,295 |
| Interest accrued during the period | 177 | 322 |
| Unrealized loss (gain) on convertible debentures | 136 | 45 |
| Balance at the end of the period | 2,975 | 2,662 |
The 2018 Debentures are hybrid contracts with multiple embedded derivatives. The Corporation has measured the entire hybrid contract at fair value with adjustments recorded to finance costs in the statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The face value of $3,000, plus all accrued interest, will be repayable on maturity, if not converted prior to this date.
The face value of the 2018 Debentures reconciles to the balance as at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 as follows:
| As at | June 30, | December 31, |
|---|---|---|
| ($ Cdn thousands) | 2021 | 2020 |
| Face value | 3,000 | 3,000 |
| Interest accrued | 927 | 750 |
| Face value plus accrued interest | 3,927 | 3,750 |
| Fair value adjustment | (952) | 45 |
| Balance at the end of the period | 2,975 | 3,795 |
The 2018 Debentures have a variable interest charge based on the Corporation's cash burn rate.
The interest rate is the lesser of:
- a. 8.50% plus (0.50% x number of Shortfall Months) compounded quarterly; or
- b. 12.00% per annum compounded quarterly
where Shortfall Months is equal to (twelve-(ending cash balance/three month average cash burn)).
During the six-months period ended June 30, 2021, the Corporation's monthly cash burn rate was such that the accrued annual rate of interest payable was between 8.50% and 11.60% (compounded quarterly). The $3,000 outstanding in 2018 Debentures can be converted into common shares at the election of debenture holders at any time at a conversion price of $0.51 per share.
As at June 30, 2021, the unpaid accrued interest payable was $927 (December 31, 2020: $750). The unpaid accrued interest payable can be converted to shares, at the election of the debenture holders, at any time, at the volume-

weighted average trading price per share for common shares over ten consecutive trading days ending on the trading day before the conversion date.
The 2018 Debentures are convertible at the option of the Corporation if, on or before the five-year maturity date, in any two consecutive calendar quarters the Corporation shall have achieved all of the following criteria:
- a. positive EBITDA normalized for abnormal items;
- b. revenue equal to at least $0.023 per issued and outstanding Common Share;
- c. the volume-weighted average trading price per share for Common Shares for the prior three months is equal to at least $0.41 per share; and
- d. subscription-based recurring revenue equal to at least $0.017 per issued and outstanding Common Share.
The Corporation can redeem the 2018 Debentures upon 30 days' notice prior to the maturity by paying the outstanding face value of the principal in cash and the outstanding interest in common shares at the current market price, as well as a prepayment penalty equal to 50% of the lost interest from the prepayment date to the maturity date.
The fair value of the 2018 Debentures is determined using a probability-weighted multi-scenario model based on the host liability and embedded derivatives of the instrument. The most significant factors in the computation of the fair value of this financial instrument as at June 30, 2021 are the fair values of the host liability and the conversion feature. The fair value of the host liability is determined using a discount rate of 39.4% (2020: 39.4%), interest payments of 8.5% to 12.0%, and a remaining expected term of 1.9 years (December 31, 2020: 2.4 years), as at June 30, 2021. The fair value of the conversion feature is determined using a Black-Scholes model with a volatility of 125% (2020: 125%), a risk-free rate of interest of 0.45% (December 31, 2020: 0.20%), a stock price of $0.23 (2020: $0.25) per share, and a remaining expected life of 1.9 years (2020: 2.4 years), as at June 30, 2021.
Sensitivity analysis:
A $0.01 increase in the share price within the Black-Scholes model would result in an increase in the fair value of the outstanding principal of the 2018 Debentures of $39. A 1% increase in the discount rate would result in a decrease in the fair value of the outstanding principal 2018 Debentures of $33. Comparable decreases in each of the share price and discount rate would result in a comparable opposite change in the fair value of the outstanding principal of the 2018 Debentures.
2021 Convertible debenture
| As at | June 30, |
|---|---|
| ($ Cdn thousands) | 2021 |
| Face value | 3,000 |
| Financing costs | 62 |
| Proceeds from convertible debenture, net of financing costs | 2,938 |
| Allocation - convertible debenture - equity portion | (1,294) |
| Allocation - convertible debenture - warrant portion | (1,186) |
| Accretion on convertible debenture | 59 |
| Balance at the end of the period | 517 |
On March 5, 2021, the Corporation issued the 2021 Debenture for $3,000. The 2021 Debenture is non-interest bearing, with a maturity date of March 5, 2026. The 2021 Debenture is convertible to common shares at a conversion

price of $0.23 per share. In addition, the purchaser received 12,000,000 warrants that can each be converted to one common share of the Corporation at a purchase price of $0.25 per share. The warrants expire March 5, 2026. The Corporation incurred $62 in financing costs related to legal and transaction processing charges.
In accordance with IAS 32, the Corporation has determined the fair value of the liability by discounting the expected future cash flows of the liability component at a market rate of interest of 45.0% for non-convertible debt, resulting in a liability value of $517 as at June 30, 2021.
The residual value assigned to equity is bifurcated between the conversion feature of the 2021 Debenture and the detachable warrant based on their respective values as determined by the Black-Scholes option pricing model. $1,186 was assigned to the detachable warrants and $1,294 was assigned to the equity conversion feature of the 2021 Debenture.
