NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2021 AND FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2021 (EXPRESSED IN UNITED STATES DOLLARS “USD”)

1. BACKGROUND AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

NowVertical Group Inc. (the “Company”) is an Ontario corporation that is listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV”) under the symbol “NOW”. Prior to its name change in connection with the closing of the transaction discussed below, the Company was a capital pool company on the TSXV known as Good2Go Corp. (“G2G”).

On March 22, 2021, G2G entered into a share purchase agreement with NowVertical Group, Inc. (“NVG”), an entity incorporated in Delaware, US on September 22, 2020, which contemplated the acquisition by G2G of all the issued and outstanding shares of NVG (the “Transaction”). The Transaction, which was structured as a “three-cornered” amalgamation and a reverse triangular merger, constituted a reverse takeover of G2G by NVG and the Qualifying Transaction of G2G under the CPC. Coincident with the Transaction’s closing on June 28, 2021, G2G changed its (i) name to Now Vertical Group Inc., (ii) symbol on the TSXV to “NOW”, and (iii) year-end from February 28 to December 31 to conform with that of NVG. NVG was identified as the accounting acquirer and as such, these financial statements represent a continuation of NVG’s financial statements. Further details are provided in Note 6.

As a matter of emphasis, note that the ultimate public entity, NowVertical Group Inc. does not have a comma (“,”) in its legal name, whereas the US operating company, NowVertical Group, Inc. does have a comma in its legal name. Post the Transaction, the combined businesses of G2G and NVG are sometimes referred to below as the “Resulting Issuer”.

The Company is a big data, analytics and vertical intelligence company that is growing organically and through acquisition. Management of the Company, with their broad range of expertise, is motivated to grow and scale the Company globally and help private and public sector organizations unlock their potential by creating vertically-focused solutions that create transformative value specific to their industry. The company’s go-to-market is organized by segments which are NOW Origin, NOW Solutions, coincident with its acquisition on November 1, 2021 and Affinio (which is discussed below in Subsequent Events).

The Company’s Vertical Intelligence (“VI”) software and services solutions are organized by industry vertical, and are built upon a foundational set of data technologies that fuse, secure and mobilize data in a transformative and compliant way. The proprietary technologies built by the Company include NOW Fusion, NOW Privacy, NOW DataBench (all part of NOW Origin) and Affinio. The NOW technologies enable the creation of high-value Vertical Intelligence solutions that are predictive in nature and will enable automation specific to each industry vertical (i.e. Government, Automotive, Media, etc.). The Company offers a sophisticated data mobilization solution that enables secure data access across internal and external stakeholders, accelerating data-oriented innovation and VI solution development. Also, the Company has a state-of-the-art data clustering platform that creates affinity graphs based on first and third-party data sources. This business intelligence (“BI”) tool is delivering transformative value in the way companies are analyzing and acquiring new customers.

The Company is rapidly pursuing its vertically driven expansion into several high-value industries with its turnkey strategy: establish foundations of intelligence through data securitization, fusion and mobility; expand business intelligence and analytical applications; and generate VI solutions in industry that deliver transformative value through the generation of predictive modeling solutions.

The registered office of the Company is located at 1 King Street West, Suite 1505, Toronto, ON M5H 1A1 and its head office is located at 7750 Okeechobee Blvd STE 4-2024, West Palm Beach FL 33411.

Impact of COVID-19 – The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic and the worldwide governments response to mitigate the pandemic’s spread have influenced the overall performance of the Company. The extent of the impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s operational and financial performance will depend on certain developments, including the duration and spread of the outbreak, and impact on the Company’s customers, employees, and vendors, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted. At this point, the extent of which COVID-19 may impact the Company’s financial condition or results of operations is uncertain. As of the date of the issuance of the financial statements, the Company had to forego potential opportunities due to the inability to travel. The Company cannot reasonably estimate the length or severity of this pandemic, but it does not anticipate a material adverse impact on its financial position, its results of operations or cash flows through at least the next twelve months from when these financial statements have been issued.

2. GENERAL INFORMATION, BASIS OF PREPARATION AND STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are presented as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 in United States dollars (USD), which is the reporting currency of the Company, on a going concern basis. Management plans to raise capital to continue to meet its commitments as they become due. In the event the Company is unable to obtain capital as planned, it would have the ability to manage certain discretionary expenses.

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 ‘Interim Financial Reporting’ except for prior period comparative figures as NVG, the accounting acquirer, was formed on September 22, 2020 and had no activity or transactions during the comparable prior year periods. As such, there are no prior period comparative statements of loss, the statement of shareholder’s equity, and the statement of cash flows. There are certain reclassifications of prior year amounts to conform with the current year presentation. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information required in annual financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and should be read in conjunction with NVG’s consolidated financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2020 that were contained in G2G’s filing statement dated June 18, 2021 with the TSXV.

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements were approved by the Company’s audit committee on November 18, 2021.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2021 AND FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2021 (EXPRESSED IN UNITED STATES DOLLARS “USD”)

assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any further periods affected.

The judgements, estimates and assumptions applied in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements, including the key sources of estimation or uncertainty, were the same as those applied in the Company’s last audited financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2020, except for the estimate of income tax liabilities which is determined in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements by using the estimated average annual effective income tax rate applied to the pre-tax income of the interim period.

6. DETAILS OF AND ACCOUNTING FOR THE REVERSE TAKEOVER TRANSACTION

The shares used to affect the Transaction described in Note 1 are referred to as the NowVertical Resulting Issuer Shares.

Immediately prior to the close of the Transaction:

  • G2G amended its articles of incorporation to reclassify its common shares as Class A Subordinate Voting Share (the “Subordinate Voting Shares” or “SVS”), and then completed a share consolidation of one SVS for 4.5 G2G pre-consolidation common shares. As a result of the share consolidation, G2G had 1,202,593 post-consolidation SVS outstanding preTransaction and 90,000 granted post-consolidation stock options. Upon completion of the Transaction, G2G shareholders received one NowVertical Resulting Issuer Share for each G2G SVS. G2G’s articles of amendment also created a new class of shares, the Class B Proportionate Voting Shares (the “Proportionate Voting Shares” or “PVS”).

  • Pursuant to a private placement financing discussed below under the heading “Concurrent Financings in March and April 2021”, Finco issued 8,394,000 common shares, which were then exchanged for 8,394,000 SVS upon completion of the Transaction. Immediately following this, shareholders of Finco and G2G effected the combination of Finco and 2824877 Ontario Inc. (“Pubco Sub”), a wholly owned subsidiary of G2G in order to create “Amalco” which continued in the name of NVG Canada Finco, Inc., being the corporation resulting from the threecornered amalgamation among Finco, Pubco sub and G2G. Each share of Pubco Sub held by G2G was cancelled and in consideration therefor, G2G received 1 share of the postamalgamation NVG Canada Finco, Inc. such that G2G held 100 shares of such entity. Pubco Sub was amalgamated into NVG Canada Finco on June 28, 2021 and NVG Canada Finco, Inc., was dissolved after the completion of the transaction.

  • Each of the 587,580 warrants issued to the agents in connection with the subscription receipt financing were exchanged for an equivalent number of warrants in the Resulting Issuer, exercisable into such an equivalent number of SVS (Note 12).

At closing of the Transaction:

  • The convertible notes issued by NVG in February and March 2021 (collectively the “Convertible Notes”, see Note 15) were converted, pursuant to their terms, into 2,199,561 shares of NVG, and then exchanged for 3,910,814 shares of the Company on a 1.778 to 1 basis.

NOWVERTICAL GROUP INC.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2021 AND FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2021 (EXPRESSED IN UNITED STATES DOLLARS “USD”)

  • Each of the 2,455,162 restricted stock units (“RSUs”, see Note 12) granted in NVG vested in their entirety and settled for 2,455,162 common shares of NVG (the “Vested RSUs”). The Vested RSUs were then exchanged for 4,365,275 SVS of G2G.

  • Each NVG shareholder exchanged its NVG shares with G2G for:

  • In the case of US resident NVG shareholders (other than in connection with the Vested RSUs described above), 1.778 PVS for each 100 NVG shares exchanged; and

  • In the case of non-US NVG shareholders (other than in connection with the Vested RSUs described above), 1.778 SVS for each NVG share exchanged.

  • Each of the 144,874 warrants issued by NVG to the agents in connection with the convertible note financing in February and March, 2021 were exchanged on a 1.778 to 1 basis for warrants exercisable into SVS of the Resulting Issuer such that those certain agents held an aggregate of 257,586 warrants in connection with the convertible note financing.

  • The 2021 Equity Incentive Plan of NVG was dissolved and replaced by a legacy equity incentive plan established by the Resulting Issuer (the “Legacy Plan”). Existing stock option holders in NVG received 1.778 options to acquire shares in the capital of the Resulting Issuer for each NVG stock option held immediately before the Transaction under the Legacy Plan. The Resulting Issuer also established an omnibus equity incentive plan for new equity incentive grants going forward.

  • As a result of the Transaction, G2G became the sole shareholder of NVG.

The Transaction does not qualify as a business combination under IFRS 3, Business Combinations, as at the time of the Transaction, G2G did not meet the definition of a business. As a result, the Transaction was accounted for in accordance with IFRS 2, Share Based Payments, as a reverse takeover asset acquisition with NVG identified as the accounting acquirer, the net assets of the G2G being treated as the acquired assets, the recapitalization of NVG and the continuation of NVG’s financial statements. The difference between the consideration given to acquire G2G and the fair value of G2G’s net assets was recorded as a listing expense. These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements present the historical financial information of NVG up to the date of the Transaction.

The fair value of the deemed consideration to former G2G shareholders of $970,252, (CAD $1,202,593), plus $65,455 (CAD $81,129) for replacement options is based on the concurrent financings’ CAD $1.00 per share price in the Private Placement and the price per share received by NVG for common stock issued in April 2021. The options held by G2G shareholders had previously been fully vested and as such the total amount of the replacement options were included in the consideration. The fair value of the replacement options were estimated on the date of the transaction using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: dividend yield of 0%, risk free discount rate of 0.40%, expected volatility of 88.90%, forfeiture rate of 0%, and expected life of 1 year.

Concurrent Financings in March and April 2021

On March 23, 2021, the Company completed a private placement offering of subscription receipts for gross proceeds of approximately $6.7 million (CAD $8,394,000) through its wholly-owned subsidiary, NVG Canada Finco, Inc. (“Finco”). Each subscription receipt entitled the holder to one common share of Finco, which was exchanged for one SVS of the Resulting Issuer upon completion of the Transaction. The Company agreed to pay the agents a cash fee of approximately $467,000 (CAD $587,580) in connection with the private placement, and granted the agents 587,580 warrants, which only became exercisable upon completion of the transaction, to purchase one common share of Finco, and then exchanged for one warrant to purchase one SVS of the Resulting Issuer. Net of the agent’s cash fee and transaction expenses, the Company raised $5,884,753.

On April 29, 2021, the Company received approximately $806,800 (CAD $1,000,000) in connection with the issuance of 562,430 newly issued common shares, which on the completion of the Transaction on June 28, 2021 converted into 1,000,000 SVS (at a forward-split ratio of 1.778:1).

7. ACQUISITION OF INTEGRA DATA AND ANALYTIC SOLUTIONS CORP.

On August 5, 2021, the Company’s subsidiary NowVertical Canada, Inc. acquired all the outstanding securities of Integra Data and Analytic Solutions Corp.

14. LOSS PER SHARE

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

Diluted loss per share amounts are calculated by dividing net loss for the period attributable to shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period plus the weighted average number of shares, if any, that would be issued on a conversion of all the dilutive potential effects. All stock options and warrants were excluded from the diluted weighted average number of shares calculation as their impact would have been anti-dilutive.

As such, the effective tax rate in the interim financial

statements may differ from management’s estimate of the effective tax rate for the annual financial statements.

For the nine-months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $15,757 on pre-tax book loss of $9,377,252. The Company’s effective tax rate for the nine-months ended September 30, 2021 was 0.17%, which differs from the Canadian statutory rate of 26.5% primarily due to pre-tax losses for which no benefit was recognized as the Company continues to conclude that its deferred tax assets are not recognizable given the weight of objective evidence as prescribed by the authoritative accounting literature.

For the three-months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $15,726 on pre-tax book loss of $1,386,476. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three-months ended September 30, 2021 was 1.14%, which differs from the Canadian statutory rate of 26.5% primarily due to pre-tax losses for which no benefit was recognized as the Company continues to conclude that its deferred tax assets are not recognizable given the weight of objective evidence as prescribed by the authoritative accounting literature.

On November 10, 2021, the Company filed a preliminary short form prospectus with the securities commissions or similar regulatory authorities in each of the provinces of Canada (other than Quebec), in connection with an overnight marketed public offering (the “Offering”) of units of the Company (the “Units”) for minimum gross proceeds of CAD$5.0 million and maximum gross proceeds of CAD$8.0 million and an over-allotment option of 15%. On November 11, 2021, the Company announced that due to strong investor demand, it has increased the size of the Offering. Under the amended terms, the Company intends to issue the Units at a price of CAD$0.95 per Unit, for minimum gross proceeds of C$5,000,000 and maximum gross proceeds of CAD$9,000,015 (“Maximum Offering Size”). In the event the over-allotment option is exercised in full under the Maximum Offering Size, the aggregate gross proceeds of the Offering will be CAD$10,350,017.

Closing of the Offering is subject to customary closing conditions, including, but not limited to, the approval of the securities regulatory authorities and the TSXV.
