Martello Technologies Group Inc. Notes to condensed interim consolidated financial statements For the three and six months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019

(in Canadian Dollars)

1. Corporate information

Martello Technologies Group Inc. (the “Corporation”) is a provider of digital experience monitoring (DEM) solutions. The Corporation’s common shares are traded on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”) under the trading symbol MTLO.

On May 29, 2020, the Corporation acquired 100% of the shares of GSX Participations SA and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Sàrl GSX Groupware Solutions and GSX Groupware Solutions Inc. (“GSX”). GSX Participations SA was incorporated in Switzerland in 2008. Sàrl GSX Groupware Solutions was incorporated in France in 2008 and GSX Groupware Solutions, Inc. was incorporated in the state of Massachusetts in 2003.

2. Basis of preparation and accounting policies

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the going concern assumption and using the historical cost basis, unless otherwise noted.

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34, Interim Financial Reporting, and should be read in conjunction with the Corporation’s most recent annual audited consolidated financial statements, which are for the year ended March 31, 2020.

Significant accounting policies

The significant accounting policies used in preparing these condensed interim consolidated financial statements are the same as those disclosed in note 2 of the Corporation’s 2020 annual consolidated financial statements, except for the following additions to the policies as set out below:

  • (a) New accounting policies

  • i. Employee benefits

Wages, salaries and bonuses are recognized in the year in which the services are rendered by employees of the Corporation. Employee benefits also include defined benefit pension benefits for employees of GSX Participations SA. Assets and obligations and related costs of the defined benefit plan are accounted for using the following accounting policies:

  • (a) Defined benefit obligations are determined from actuarial calculations using the projected unit credit method.

  • (b) For the purposes of calculating the estimated rate of return on plan assets, assets are measured at fair value.

  • (c) Actuarial gains or losses arise from the difference between the effective yield of plan assets for a period and the expected yield on plan assets for the period, from changes in actuarial assumptions used to determine defined benefit obligations and from emerging experience that differs from the selected assumptions. Actuarial gains or losses are recognized under other comprehensive income (loss) in the period in which they occur.

  • (d) Net interest is recognized in the condensed interim consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss calculated using the discount rate by reference to market yields at the valuation date and when plan assets and obligations are measured.

  • (e) Net defined benefit liability is determined based on the excess of plan obligations over plan assets.

ii. Share based payments

For share-based compensation granted to non-employees, the expense is measured at the fair value of the compensation, except where the fair value cannot be estimated in which case it is measured at the fair value of the equity instruments granted.

Martello Technologies Group Inc. Notes to condensed interim consolidated financial statements For the three and six months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019

(in Canadian Dollars)

Basis of preparation and accounting policies (continued)

Significant accounting policies (continued)

iii. Equity instruments

The Corporation has adopted the residual value method with respect to the measurement of common shares and warrants issued as equity units. The amount assigned to the common share is the excess of the unit price over the value of the warrant determined by using an appropriate option pricing model.

Equity issuance costs directly attributable to the issue of common shares and warrants are shown as a deduction from the proceeds. For common shares and warrants issued as a unit, the equity issuance costs are allocated to the common shares and warrants based on the relative allocation of proceeds.

3. Significant judgments and estimates

The preparation of the Corporation’s condensed interim consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates, and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets, and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities, at each reporting date. The outcome of these uncertainties about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or liability affected in future periods.

The judgments, estimates and assumptions applied in the preparation of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements are the same as those disclosed in note 3 to the 2020 annual consolidated financial statements with the addition of the following:

Defined-benefit pension plans

The Corporation has a defined benefit pension plan, mandated by Swiss law, that provides certain benefits to the employees of GSX Participations SA. The actuarial valuation of this plan is based on assumptions, which include discount rates, inflation, mortality rates, retirement probabilities, employee turnover and salary escalation rates. Judgment is exercised in setting these assumptions. These assumptions impact the measurement of the pension benefit obligation, funding levels, the net benefit cost and the actuarial gains and losses recognized in other comprehensive income.

4. Fair value measurement

The carrying amounts of the Corporation’s cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, trade and other receivables, investment tax credits and grants receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The line of credit is a demand instrument at a variable rate and therefore the carrying amount approximates fair value. The market interest rates that would apply to the Corporation’s long-term debt is not significantly different from the effective interest rates used to amortize these debts. Therefore, the carrying amounts are comparable to fair values.

Long-term debt is measured using observable interest rates at initial recognition and is categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of foreign exchange forward contracts, which were entered into on March 9, 2020, represented a net liability of $nil at September 30, 2020. The fair value is estimated using a market approach with forward exchange rates observable at the end of the reporting period and contract forward rates as inputs and is categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The hierarchy is described in Note 21 of the March 31, 2020 annual financial statements.

In July 2020, as a result of the Company’s sale of certain assets of the NPM segment to Adaptiv Networks Inc. (“Adaptiv”), the Company received cash consideration of $424,702 and common shares of Adaptiv valued at $303,750. The investment is valued as fair value through adjustment to profit and loss. The fair value of this investment is determined using level 3 inputs. There were no losses or gains recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2020.

(in Canadian Dollars)

5. Discontinued Operations

In the first quarter of the 2021 fiscal year the Corporation initiated a review of the former network performance management operating segment (“NPM segment”) and made a decision to divest the assets of this segment.

The Corporation divested the assets of this segment on July 22, 2020. Details of the disposal are as follows:

==> picture [308 x 275] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [299 x 88] intentionally omitted <==

The sale of the NPM segment constitutes the sale of a separate major operating segment, and as a result the Corporation has reported the financial results as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

The comparative results of the discontinued operations included in net loss for the three and six month period ended September 30, 2020 are set out below.

6. Business acquisitions

On May 29, 2020 the Corporation purchased 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of GSX Participations SA and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Sàrl GSX Groupware Solutions and GSX Groupware Solutions, Inc. (the “GSX Acquisition”). GSX provides end-user experience monitoring for Microsoft 365 users. The transaction was accounted for as a business combination. The fair values of the identifiable asset and liabilities acquired have been based on management’s best estimates and valuation techniques as at the acquisition date.

Page 10

Martello Technologies Group Inc. Notes to condensed interim consolidated financial statements For the three and six months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 (in Canadian Dollars)

Business acquisitions (continued)

As of September 30, 2020, the analysis of identified intangible assets and fair values is incomplete, as such

all of the difference between the purchase consideration and the assets acquired and liabilities assumed has been allocated to goodwill and intangible assets. The estimated purchase price allocation remains subject to adjustments that could arise as a result of new information that would impact the determination of fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

In total, the consideration for the transaction amounted to $16,521,601 which included $12,011,601 in cash and $4,510,000 for the issuance of 22,000,000 common shares.

The purchase price was allocated as follows:

The purchase price was allocated as follows:
$
Net assets (liabilities) acquired, other than undernoted items (6,590,059)
Deferred tax liability (366,898)
Goodwill and intangible assets acquired 23,478,558
Totalpurchaseprice 16,521,601

The net liabilities acquired included the following:

$
Cash 454,127
Trade and other accounts receivable 1,418,110
Prepaid expenses 335,063
Equipment & leasehold improvements 97,830
Right-of-use assets 1,172,045
Total assets 3,477,175
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities 3,072,900
Deferred revenue 4,972,490
Lease obligation 1,190,906
Pension obligation 830,938
Total liabilities 10,067,234
Net liabilities acquired (6,590,059)

The fair value and gross contractual amount of trade accounts receivable acquired was $1,418,110.

The net cash outflow on the acquisition of GSX is as follows:

$
Consideration paid in cash 12,011,601
Less: Cash and cash equivalents acquired 454,127
Net cash outflow 11,557,474

Goodwill arose in the acquisition of GSX because the cost of acquisition included a control premium and also reflected the benefit of expected revenue growth, diversification of product offering and future product development. These benefits were not recognized separately from goodwill because they do not meet the recognition criteria for identifiable intangible assets. None of the goodwill arising on this acquisition is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

For the period from May 29, 2020 to September 30, 2020, GSX accounted for $1,732,744 and $2,331,767 in sales for three and six months ended September 30, 2020. GSX also recognized $201,915 and $393,082 of net loss for three and six months ended September 30, 2020.

8. Operating segment information

The Corporation has assessed that it operates in three operating segments, those being Vantage DX Monitoring – Mitel UC, Vantage DX Monitoring – Microsoft 365 and Vantage DX Analytics – IT Service Analytics. Vantage Dx is the name of the Corporation’s solution suite portfolio for digital experience monitoring and the operating segments have been renamed to align with the revised solution names.

10. Loss per share

Basic loss per share amounts are calculated by dividing net loss for the period attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.

Diluted loss per share amounts are calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to common shareholders of the Corporation by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period plus the weighted average number of common shares, if any, that would be issued on conversion of all the dilutive potential effects.

As at September 30, 2020 and 2019, all instruments were anti-dilutive.

The following securities could potentially dilute basic net loss per share in the future but have not been included in diluted loss per share because their effect was anti-dilutive.

National Bank of Canada revolving credit facility

On April 27, 2020, the Corporation entered into a credit agreement with National Bank of Canada. This financing is comprised of a revolving facility and other ancillary facilities (the “Revolving Loan”). The Revolving Loan is based on a multiple of monthly recurring revenue, subject to certain adjustments, up to $7,500,000, bears interest at a variable rate of prime plus 2.85% per annum and is repayable on demand. The facilities are secured by a senior security interest in and guarantees from Martello Corp and the Corporation, as well as Savision B.V. and its subsidiaries, GSX Participations Sàrl and its subsidiaries, Martello Technologies Incorporated, and Elfiq Inc. (the “ Corporate Guarantors ”). The financing costs expensed during the 3 and 6 months ended September 30, 2020 in relation to the Revolving Loan totaled $21,728 and $404,517, respectively. As at September 30, 2020, the loan has not been drawn on.

On April 27, 2020, the Corporation entered a term credit facility with Vistara Technology Growth Fund III Limited Partnership (“ Vistara ”) (the “ Vistara Credit Agreement ”). Under the terms of the Vistara Credit Agreement, Vistara provided a US $8,000,000 subordinated secured term loan (the “ Term Loan ”). Along with the proceeds of the short-form prospectus bought deal offering closed May 26, 2020 (the “ Offering ”) (see Note 17) the Term Loan was used to pay the cash portion of the purchase price for the GSX Acquisition.

The Term Loan is repayable within 36 months of closing and carries interest at the greater of (i) 12.50% per annum; and (ii) the U.S. prime rate plus 8.75% per annum calculated monthly in arrears on the outstanding principal. Interest is payable monthly at 10% with the balance being added to the loan principal and payable at maturity. The effective interest rate on the Term Loan is 20.40%. The Term Loan is secured by a subordinated security interest in and guarantees from the Corporate Guarantors.

As consideration for providing the Term Loan, Vistara received upon closing 12,777,273 bonus warrants to purchase Common Shares (“ Bonus Warrants ”). Each Bonus Warrant is exercisable into one Common Share at an exercise price of $0.22 per Bonus Share for up to 36 months from closing.

If at any time, after four months and a day after the issue date, the volume weighted average price (“ VWAP ”) of the Common Shares for any twenty (20) consecutive trading days on the TSXV, during which the total volume of common shares traded in such period exceeds 5,000,000, is equal to or exceeds $0.44, and the VWAP of the Common Shares for any five (5) consecutive trading days on the TSXV is equal to or exceeds $0.44 then all of the Bonus Warrants shall be deemed to be automatically exercised by Vistara on a cashless basis.

Issuance costs relating to the Vistara Credit Agreement are allocated between the Term Loan and Bonus Warrants based on the relative fair value of each. Issuance costs related to the Term Loan are netted against the Term Loan and amortized over the life of the loan. Issuance costs related to the Bonus Warrants are netted against the value of the warrants in shareholders’ equity.

Foreign exchange translation 19,532
Balance at September 30,2020 1,508,765

For the three and six months ended September 30, 2020, the Corporation recognized $103,601 and $165,675 respectively (2019 - $42,469 and $85,327) as depreciation on right-of-use assets, and $12,514 and $21,006 respectively (2019 - $7,417 and $12,726) as interest expense on the lease liability.

In applying the practical expedient for short-term leases, the Corporation has excluded rent payments of $179,524 (2019 - $184,732) from the right-of-use asset and lease liability calculations.

When measuring lease liabilities, the Corporation discounted lease payments using incremental borrowing rates of between 2.47% and 5.40%.

The Corporation has applied judgment in the process of applying IFRS 16 and determining the appropriate lease term on a lease by lease basis, which has a significant effect on the measurement of the lease liability and right-of-use assets recognized. Management considers many factors including any events that create an economic incentive to exercise a renewal option including expected future performance and past business practice. The Corporation has also exercised judgment in determining the incremental borrowing rate based on the term, security, the lessee entity’s economic environment, credit rating, level of indebtedness and asset specific adjustments.

Effective August 1, 2020, the Corporation subleased its office space in Montreal to the purchaser of the assets of the network performance segment, as described in Note 5. The lease remains guaranteed by the Corporation.

As a result, the right-of-use asset for the office space in Montreal was reclassified to lease receivable on the Condensed interim consolidated statement of financial position. The balance of lease receivable at September 30, 2020 is $160,262.

16. Defined benefits retirement plan

On May 29, 2020 the Company acquired GSX, as described in note 6, and assumed its occupational defined benefits pension plan (the “GSX Plan”). Swiss law requires GSX to arrange for an affiliation contract with a pension fund provider to provide participants with at least occupational benefits.

GSX has an affiliation contract with AXA collective foundation, Fondation LPP Suisse romande (Professional Invest) (“Collective Foundation” or “AXA”) which covers actuarial risks and the pooling of assets for all affiliated companies. The governing bodies of the Collective Foundation are responsible for risk management and the investment of Plan assets, although investment decisions can be mandated to another party.

Page 18

Martello Technologies Group Inc. Notes to condensed interim consolidated financial statements For the three and six months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019

(in Canadian Dollars)

Defined benefits retirement plan (continued)

Retirement benefits, which are based on participant salaries, are funded by the employer and employee as a fixed percentage of the insured salaries. The Collective Foundation is able to adapt the contributions and benefits at any time. If the contract with AXA is cancelled, GSX would be required to affiliate with another pension provider.

The risks of invalidity and death prior to retirement are covered by insurance. The Plan exposes the Company to the following actuarial risks:

Investment risk – a Plan deficit would be created if the return achieved on plan assets is below the discount rate used to present value of the defined benefit liability.

Foreign exchange risk – the defined benefit obligation and Plan assets are denominated in Swiss francs. The Company is exposed to changes in the value of the Swiss franc relative to the Canadian dollar to the extent of the Plan surplus or deficit.

Interest rate risk – the discount rate used to present value the defined benefit obligation is based on high quality corporate bond yields. A decrease in bond yields would increase the defined benefit obligation.

Longevity and salary risks – increases in life expectancy or the salaries of Plan participants in excess of those used in the actuarial assumptions would increase the defined benefit obligation.

An actuarial valuation of the Plan assets and the present value of the defined benefit obligation was completed as at May 31, 2020 as part of the purchase accounting for the acquisition of GSX. The present value of the defined benefit obligation and the related service costs were measured using the projected unit credit method.

Retirement ages are defined by Swiss statute as 65 years for men and 64 years for women. It is assumed that 30% of retirees opt to take a lump sum instead of converting retirement assets into a lifelong pension. The significant actuarial assumptions include:


The significant actuarial assumptions include:
May 31, 2020
Discount rate 0.40%
Long-term expected salary increase 1.00%
Average longevity at retirement age for Plan
participants
LPP/BVG 2015 tables

The LPP/BVG 2015 tables are Swiss generational tables used to establish the expected retirement age for the plan participants, based on experience of specific Swiss pension plans over the period 2010 to 2014.

Post-acquisition current service costs of $45,345 and $60,302 were recognized for the three and six months ended September 30, 2020 along with net interest income of $5,527 and $5,249 for the three and

six months ended September 30, 2020. The current service cost is included in the operating expenses on the condensed interim consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss. The net interest income is included in interest income.

Defined benefits retirement plan (continued)

At September 30, 2020, the Plan was in a deficit position of $793,903 (May 29, 2020 - $830,938). The movements in the defined benefit obligation for the period ending September 30, 2020 are as follows:

$
Defined benefit obligation at April 1, 2020 -

Employer contributions 35,919

Fair value ofpensionplan September 30, 2020 2,195,837

The Company’s pension plan actual weighted average asset allocations by asset category were as follows:

September 30, 2020 May 29, 2020
Debt securities 37.07% 38.59%
Real estate assets 25.31% 25.69%
Equity securities 24.81% 25.64%
Alternative investments 9.36% 9.58%
Cash and cash equivalents 3.45% 0.50%
Total 100.00% 100.00%

The fair values of the plan assets were determined based on the following methods:

  • Equity securities – generally quoted market prices in active markets

  • Debt securities – generally quoted market prices in active markets

  • Real estate assets – valued based on appraisal performed by a qualified external real estate appraiser

  • Alternative investments - generally quoted market prices in active markets

  • Cash and cash equivalents – generally recorded at cost which approximates fair value

Alternative investments are classified as Level 2 instruments and real estate assets as Level 3.

Reasonably possible changes in the discount rate, salary increases, pension or life expectancy would result in a change in the DBO to the following amounts, calculated using the projected unit credit method, as at September 30, 2020.

The sensitivity analysis may not be representative of the actual change in the defined benefit obligation because the changes in discount rate and salary inputs would not occur in isolation of one another.

The weighted average duration of the obligation at September 30, 2020, which relates to active members, is 19.65 years.

The Corporation expects to make contributions to the Plan totaling $139,186 during the next 12 months.

17. Equity instruments

i. Common shares

The Corporation is authorized to issue an unlimited number of common shares with no par value.

The holders of the common shares are entitled to receive non-cumulative dividends, as may be determined by the Board of Directors.

Bought deal offering

On May 26, 2020, the Corporation completed an offering (the “Offering”) with a syndicate of investment dealers led by PI Financial (collectively, the “underwriters”) for a total of 32,861,250 units (each, a “ Unit ”) consisting of one common share of the Corporation and one common share purchase warrant at a price of $0.21 per unit, for gross proceeds of $6,900,863. Each warrant is exercisable into one common share at an exercise price of $0.30 per common share for a period of 36 months from the closing date. Commencing on May 26, 2021, if the daily volume weighted average exceeds $0.50, the Corporation may, upon providing written notice to the holders of the warrants, accelerate the expiry date of the warrants to the date that is 30 days following the date of such written notice.

In addition, the underwriters received a cash commission equal to 7% of the gross proceeds realized from the Offering. The Corporation granted the underwriters 1,643,063 broker compensation option units, exercisable to purchase Units at a price of $0.21 per compensation option unit for a period of 24 months from the closing date.

GSX Acquisition

In connection with the GSX Acquisition 22,000,000 common shares were issued as part of the purchase price.

Equity instruments (continued)

ii. Warrants

During the six months ended September 30, 2020, 45,638,523 warrants were issued (six months ended September 30, 2019 – nil).

At September 30, 2020 the Corporation’s outstanding warrants consisted of the following:

Date of Issue Expiry Type Exercise Number
Date price outstanding
$ #
February 27, 2015 See note below Warrants 0.11 -
May 26, 2020 May 26, 2023 Offering Warrants 0.30 32,861,250
May28, 2020 May28, 2023 Bonus Warrants 0.22 12,777,273
45,638,523

Of the warrants issued on February 27, 2015, 274,285 were exercised on September 11, 2020. The remaining 260,576 expired during the quarter (six months ended September 30, 2019 – nil).

Offering Warrants

As part of the share issuance of 32,861,250 common shares on May 26, 2020, 32,861,250 warrants were issued with an exercise price of $0.30 and an expiry date of May 26, 2023 (the “Offering Warrants”) Commencing on May 26, 2021, if the daily volume weighted average exceeds $0.50, the Corporation may, upon providing written notice to the holders of the warrants, accelerate the expiry date of the Offering Warrants to the date that is 30 days following the date of such written notice.

In determining the value of the Offering Warrants, the barrier option model was used. The Offering Warrants were valued at $0.0591 per warrant. The assumptions used to value the warrants were as follows:

Risk-free interest rate 0.29% Expected term 3 years Volatility 75.1% Expected dividend yield 0%

Bonus Warrants

As consideration for providing the Term Loan, on May 28, 2020 Vistara received 12,777,273 bonus warrants to purchase common shares (“Bonus Warrants”). Each Bonus Warrant is exercisable into one common share at an exercise price of $0.22 for up to 36 months from closing. If at any time, after four months and a day after the issue date, the volume weighted average price (VWAP) of the common shares for any twenty (20) consecutive trading days on the TSXV, during which the total volume of common shares traded in such period exceeds 5,000,000, is equal to or exceeds $0.44, and the VWAP of the common shares for any five (5) consecutive trading days on the TSXV is equal to or exceeds $0.44 then all of the Bonus Warrants shall be deemed to be automatically exercised by Vistara on a cashless basis.

In determining the value of the Bonus Warrants as non-employee share-based compensation, the barrier option model was used. The Bonus Warrants were valued at $0.0675 per warrant.

The total value of the warrants has been netted against the Term Loan and will be amortized over the term of the debt through interest expense in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss. The assumptions used to value the warrants were as follows:

Risk-free interest rate 0.29% Expected term 3 years Volatility 74.9% Expected dividend yield 0%

Equity instruments (continued)

iii. Broker compensation option units

In connection with the Offering, the Corporation granted the underwriters 1,643,063 broker compensation option units (“ Broker Option Units ”), exercisable to purchase Units at a price of $0.21 per Broker Option Unit for a period of 24 months from the closing date.

In determining the value of the Broker Option Units as non-employee share-based compensation, the Black-Scholes option pricing model was used. The Broker Option Units were valued at $0.131 per Broker Option Unit. The assumptions used to determine the value of the Broker Option Units are as follows:

Market value of a Broker Option Unit $0.2741
Exercise Price $0.21
Risk-free interest rate 0.30%
Expected term 24 months
Volatility 73.9%
Expected dividend yield 0%

The market value of the Broker Option Unit was determined by adding the value of a Broker Warrant and the market value of a common share at the date of closing of the Offering.

iv. Share-based payments

The Corporation has a stock option plan (the “Plan”) open to certain members of management, employees and consultants. Unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors, options issued under the Plan vest over a three-year period and have expiry dates which are 5 years from issuance. The maximum number of common shares reserved for issuance of options that may be granted under the Plan is 10% of the total outstanding common shares of the Corporation, calculated on a fully-diluted basis.

The following table summarizes the continuity of options issued under the Plan:

At September 30, 2020, the fair value of share-based compensation to be recognized as an expense in future periods totaled $897,716 (March 31, 2020– $531,031). Share-based compensation expense for the period is disclosed in note 9.

In determining the amount of share-based compensation, the Corporation uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to establish the fair value of options granted. 6,127,167 options were granted in the three and six months ended September 30, 2020. The fair value of options granted in the six months ended September 30, 2020 was established by applying the following assumptions:

September 30,
2020
Stock price valuation $0.195-0.205
Exercise price $0.195-0.205
Risk-free interest rate 0.29-0.32%
Expected life in years 3.5
Expected dividend yield 0%
Volatility 79.30%
Fair value of options issued in the periods $0.106-0.111

Volatility was determined by using the historical volatility of the stock of comparable companies over a 3.5year period. The expected life in years represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate is based on zero-coupon Canada government bonds with a remaining term equal to the expected life of the options.
