COVID-19
The outbreak of the novel coronavirus COVID-19, which was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020, has led to adverse impacts on the Canadian and global economies, disruptions of financial markets, and created uncertainty regarding potential impacts to the Company’s supply chain and operations. The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted and could further impact the Company’s operations and the operations of the Company’s suppliers and vendors as a result of quarantines, facility closures, and travel and logistics restrictions. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts the Company’s business, results of operations, and financial condition will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including, but not limited to the duration, spread, severity, and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s suppliers and vendors, and the remedial actions and stimulus measures adopted by local and federal governments, and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume.
The Company continues to monitor the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, our industry and the broader economy. The pandemic has continued to impact and could further impact our operations and the operations of our customers. The second wave of COVID-19 cases has hit the country and there have been significant increases in the number of cases.
The increase in COVID-19 cases has resulted in the Province of BC implementing stricter measures in restaurants such as liquor sales stopping before 10 p.m. and doors closing by 11 p.m. We anticipate that

For the Nine Months Ended August 31, 2020
in-dining transactions in restaurants will continue to be disproportionately impacted by COVID-19 and it is unclear at this time as to when levels will recover to pre-COVID-19 levels.
At this time, the Company cannot reasonably estimate the duration or severity of the economic impact to our users and merchant partners caused by the restrictions on daily life to curb the spread of COVID-19, or the ultimate impact on the Company’s operations and liquidity. Even after the COVID-19 pandemic has subsided, the Company may experience adverse impacts to its business as a result of any economic recession or depression that has occurred or may occur in the future; therefore, the Company cannot reasonably estimate the impact at this time on our business, liquidity, capital resources and financial results.
Q3 Overview
As a result of investments made in the prior quarter, the Company was able to successfully launch new product offerings to users including dropshipping and Perk Hero branded stores. This coupled with marketing initiatives led to growth in both merchants and users. The revenue earned by the Company in the third quarter was primarily generated by the sale of gift cards through the Perk Hero branded stores in the last two weeks of August. The Perk Hero app continues to evolve and offer a unique feature set that we believe will poise us for growth.
The Company is continuing to innovate its product. We have seen early success with our dropshipping merchants and we have been able to increase their customer base while earning sustainable commissions for both Perk Labs and merchants. The Company will continue to roll out improvements in the near future with a focus on delivering a community commerce mobile platform will enable us to expand into other markets more quickly due with a more streamlined onboarding process for dropshipping merchants and low cost requirements.

-
Continued to raise money through its at-the-market offering: Subsequent to quarter-end, the Company issued 3,247,000 shares at an average price per share of $0.043 through its at-themarketing offering for gross proceeds of $140,105. Commissions paid were $4,203 for net proceeds of $135,902.
-
Launched Perk Hero branded stores: Expanding on its m-commerce strategy, Perk Hero launched several of its own themed stores which include Beauty, Body and Personal Care, Work from Home Essentials and Green Your Home. Each store contains curated products that were selected to meet the needs of our users.
-
New focus on retail verticals: Based on the Company’s results from the third quarter, management decided to shift the Company's focus away from the food and beverage vertical to focus more on dropshipping merchants and Perk Hero managed stores. Management believes that this is the prudent decision to make because of increased spending on customer acquisition and retention from significantly better funded competitors. Additionally, onboarding additional food and beverage merchants will require additional capital investments for hardware to provide to the merchants.
In contrast, focusing on retail allows Perk Hero to earn greater commissions and onboard merchants more quickly as there are no capital requirements for hardware. Management believes that this model is more scalable and allows Perk Hero to enter new markets faster.

It is built on a new and advanced technology stack using offerings from leading companies like Amazon, Microsoft and Stripe.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
For the Nine Months Ended August 31, 2020
Perk Hero replaces the Company’s original mobile payment solution, Glance Pay . Glance Pay experienced a decrease in transactions as a consequence of the closure of in-dining restaurant services due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In order to save server-hosting and maintenance costs, the Company shut down Glance Pay on April 14, 2020.
Perk Hero will be building on its m-commerce capabilities to provide businesses with additional channels to market and sell their products. Perk Hero will also offer a ‘ Perk Hero for Businesses ’ white-label enterprise solution to chains that can be branded and customized under their respective names.
The key market drivers for the growth in mobile payments—beyond convenience and ease of use to pay for products from mobile phones—is that they can be easily integrated with card-free loyalty programs, and valuable data can be acquired such as how often customers shop, dine, what they buy, and how they respond to incentives. Merchants can use this data to better market to customers based on their shopping behaviour, patterns and preferences.
On March 5, 2020, the Company announced that an agreement was signed with Alipay to enable Alipay users to make payments on the Company’s payment platform and that the Company will be harmonizing its QR codes to enable Alipay payment at Perk Hero merchants. In 2013, Alipay overtook PayPal as the world’s largest mobile payment platform, with 900 million Alipay users as of June 2019, many of whom are part of a rapidly growing Chinese middle class that enjoys shopping, dining out, and visiting tourist attractions.
The Company launched the Perk Hero app on April 2, 2020. With the ongoing COVID-19 crisis, the Company sees the need and demand for mobile ordering and safe contactless digital payments. Perk Hero will be focussing on helping local businesses expand their reach to new markets that extend beyond the Lower Mainland which is where Perk Hero has traditionally focussed its efforts. We believe that this will help increase revenues for our merchants while also increasing the revenues for Perk Hero.
COMPANY OVERVIEW

Summary
By upgrading our technology stack, focusing our branding on the optimal target demographic and improving capacity for monetization, we feel we have made solid progress. We believe that our new product provides a dramatic improvement over conventional ordering, payment, and loyalty experiences. Based on our experiences in using these new features and the early market feedback, we are confident that products with features such as these will become the dominant form of payment and customer loyalty and we are working hard to ensure that Perk Hero is the leading company to deliver these features in the future.

Interest expenses increased to $11,002 for the three months ending August 31, 2020 (August 31, 2019 - $Nil) due to the implementation of IFRS 16 which requires companies to recognize interest expenses on lease liabilities and depreciation expenses on right-of-use assets associated with their leases.
General and administration expenses decreased for the three months ended August 31, 2020 to $321,026 (August 31, 2019 - $662,164) as a direct result of right-sizing the Company to respond to our business needs more efficiently with reduced head office expenses and improved accountability and visibility across teams. In this category, bank charges and interest increased to $2,391 (August 31, 2019 – $719); consulting fees increased to $28,000 (August 31, 2019 - $25,000) with the addition of advisors to Perk Labs; director fees resulted in a gain of $110,833 (August 31, 2019 - $Nil) as a result of the settlement of fees outstanding to directors with RSU’s that will be recognized over a three year vesting period; information technology increased to $60,482 (August 31, 2019 – $56,441) with the development of the Perk Hero app; insurance decreased to $2,705 (August 31, 2019 – $2,737); investor relations expenses decreased to $2,637 (August 31, 2019 - $32,059) with the current management concentrating on developing the business model; legal, accounting, and auditing increased to $24,775 (August 31, 2019 - $9,615) due to costs related to financings; office decreased to $11,532 (August 31, 2019 - $52,929) due to reductions in office software licensing costs, telephone and tablet expenses and other costs associated with a lower headcount; the Company recognized a gain on rent of $12,506 (August 31, 2019 – expense of $128,705) due to COVID-19 concessions and by moving into a less expensive space coupled with the implementation of IFRS 16 which

resulted in portions of the rent expense being allocated to depreciation and interest; transfer agent and filing fees increased to $34,563 (August 31, 2019 - $23,244), and wages and benefits decreased to $277,232 (August 31, 2019 - $329,100). Current management has focused on reducing costs and concentrating on the core business of the Company.
Sales and marketing expenses decreased for the three months ended August 31, 2020 to $168,353 (August 31, 2019 - $329,952) as a result of tightening expenditures. Management eliminated marketing spending related to Glance PayMe and reduced sales and marketing spending related to Glance Pay on internet advertising, trade shows, and sales and marketing consultants and employees. These spending reductions were made in conjunction with a determination that changes needed to be made to the Company's product and brand strategy.
Share-based compensation decreased for the three months ended August 31, 2020 to $42,242 (August 31, 2019 - $96,439) with fewer stock options granted and vested during the current period vested during the current period offset by RSU expenses associated with RSU’s issued pursuant to the RSU plan approved and finalized at the Company’s Annual General Meeting held on June 10, 2020.
Other income and expense items produced net expenses of $172,934 for the three months ended August 31, 2020 versus $2,563,399 for the comparative period: foreign exchange loss of $5,743 (August 31, 2019 - $3,220); gain on sale of marketable securities of $104,011 (August 31, 2019 – a loss of $359,001); government subsidies and grants of $203,543 (August 31, 2019 - $Nil) with the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy received from the Government of Canada to assist businesses with decreased revenues as a result of COVID-19; interest income of $746 (August 31, 2019 - $9,129) reflecting the use of cash to sustain operations; other income of $Nil (August 31, 2019 - $150); and unrealized loss of marketable securities of $475,491 (August 31, 2019 – $2,210,457) as the private company investments became shares of publicly listed companies during the prior fiscal year with a reduction in fair value at August 31, 2020 as the market price of the marketable securities declined.
NON-IFRS EARNINGS MEASURE
Effective for the quarter ending August 31, 2020 and subsequent quarters, the Company will report “Adjusted EBITDAaL (EBITDA after Leases)” instead of “Adjusted EBITDA”. We believe that the disclosure of this metric allows investors to evaluate the operational and financial performance of the Company’s ongoing business, using the same evaluation that Management uses, and is therefore a useful indicator of the Company’s performance or expected performance of recurring operations.
For the period ending August 31, 2020, the Company recognized a 3-year lease starting June 1, 2020. Under IFRS 16, the lease for the Company’s office premises is capitalized with a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability. The asset is straight-line depreciated while an interest expense is recognized with the lease liability using effective interest rate. Compared to prior periods, all things being equal, the Company will recognize a lower rent expense and higher depreciation and amortization expense under IFRS 16, but the net impact of adopting IFRS 16 on the lease is not expected to be material to our operating results.
To allow for more accurate comparisons to prior periods, the cash outflows, consisting of interest expenses and payments made on the lease liability are subtracted from EBITDA to calculate EBITDAaL. EBITDA is calculated as earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization.
The Company’s adjusted EBITDAaL is the EBITDAaL that is further adjusted to exclude asset impairment charges, share-based compensation, realized and unrealized gains and losses on assets, foreign exchange gains and losses and items of an unusual nature that do not reflect our ongoing operations. EBITDA,

LIQUIDITY
Assets
Total assets decreased by 56% from $4,730,632 at November 30, 2019 to $2,074,714 at August 31, 2020. Cash at August 31, 2020 of $930,464 (November 30, 2019 - $1,918,626) comprises 45% (November 30, 2019 – 41%) of total assets.
Marketable securities have been split into current and non-current. Pursuant to a Restricted Share Sale Agreement dated November 2, 2018, the Company agreed not to sell more than 20,000 BPS shares in a single trading day upon BPS listing on a Canadian stock exchange, which occurred on December 14, 2018. The fair value of the Company’s investment in BPS totals $605,197 (November 30, 2019 - $2,444,483). This decrease in fair value reflects the decrease in share price of BPS’s publicly traded securities.
The amounts receivables increased 368% to $97,589 (November 30, 2019 - $20,839) at August 31, 2020 relating to the GST receivable from the Canada Revenue Agency and payments from the Canada

Emergency Wage Subsidy (CEWS). Customer receivables are $779 (November 30, 2019 - $2,306). The GST receivable of $37,205 (November 30, 2019 - $18,117) is due from the Canada Revenue Agency. There are other amounts receivable of $59,605 (November 30, 2019 - $416) of which $54,563 is related to CEWS.
The prepaid expenses and deposits increased 28% to $82,212 (November 30, 2019 - $64,245). Included in prepaid expenses is $49,697 (November 30, 2019 - $26,529) which represents the deposit on the office lease commenced June 1, 2020 and $32,515 (November 30, 2019 - $37,716) for other prepayments.
Liabilities
Total liabilities increased by 73% from $367,730 at November 30, 2019 to $637,202 at August 31, 2020. The increase reflects the adoption of IFRS 16 which resulted in a lease liability of $238,920 at August 31, 2020 (November 30, 2019 - $Nil).
The accounts payable and accrued liabilities comprise 63% of the total liabilities. Accounts payable are $291,837 (November 30, 2019 - $84,773). Accrued liabilities are $40,833 (November 30, 2019 - $151,519). Accrued payroll liabilities are $61,611 (November 30, 2019 - $39,969). There are payments due to officers, directors and other related parties of $4,000 (November 30, 2019 - $91,469) for various consulting, management, and director fees,
At August 31, 2020, the Company’s working capital was $1,135,763 (November 30, 2019 - $3,346,510). The decrease in working capital reflects ongoing operations coupled with slow revenue growth.
OPERATING LEASE COMMITMENTS
On June 1, 2020, the Company commenced a three-year lease for its office premises. It is a triple net lease with a base rent of $9,485 per month in Year 1; $9,716 per month in Year 2; and $9,947 per month in Year 3. Upon commencement of the lease, the Company recognized a right-of-use asset and a lease liability.
The following is a reconciliation from the undiscounted lease payments to the lease liabilities.

At August 31, 2020, the Company owed $4,000 (November 30, 2019 - $91,469) to officers and directors which is included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.
Amounts due to or from related parties are unsecured, do not bear interest, and are classified as a current asset or liability due to their nature and expected time of repayment.
CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
The Company’s directors and officers may serve as directors or officers, or may be associated with other reporting companies, or have significant shareholdings in other public companies. To the extent that such other companies may participate in business or asset acquisitions, dispositions, or ventures in which the Company may participate, the directors and officers of the Company may have a conflict of interest in negotiating and concluding on terms with respect to the transaction. If a conflict of interest arises, the Company will follow the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (BC) (“Corporations Act”) dealing with conflict of interest. These provisions state that where a director has such a conflict, that director must, at a meeting of the Company's directors, disclose his or her interest and refrain from voting on the matter unless otherwise permitted by the Corporations Act. In accordance with the laws of the Province of British Columbia, the directors and officers of the Company are required to act honestly, in good faith, and in the best interest of the Company.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT
Fair value of financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, regardless of whether the price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company takes into account the characteristics of the asset or liability if market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date.
15
PERK LABS INC. (formerly Glance Technologies Inc.)
Management’s Discussion and Analysis (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
For the Nine Months Ended August 31, 2020
Under IFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the input to valuation techniques used to measure fair value as follows:
Level 1 – quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2 – inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and
Level 3 – inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable\ inputs).
The fair value hierarchy requires the use of observable market inputs whenever such inputs exist.
| Fair value measurements using Quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments (Level 1) $ Significant other observable inputs (Level 2) $ Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) $ Balance, August 31, 2019 $ |

| 405,527 199,670 102,000 707,197 |
The fair values of other financial instruments, including cash, amounts receivable, investment in joint venture, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and lease liabilities approximate their fair values due the short-term nature of the financial instrument.
Market risk
Market risk is the risk of loss that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument held by the Company will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. The Company faces market risk from changes in market factors such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and commodity and equity prices.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk consists of two components: to the extent that payments made or received on the Company’s monetary assets and liabilities are affected by changes in the prevailing market interest rates, the Company is exposed to interest rate cash flow risk; and to the extent that changes in prevailing market rates differ from the interest rate in the Company’s monetary assets and liabilities, the Company is exposed to fair value interest rate risk.
Current financial assets and financial liabilities are generally not exposed to significant cash flow interest rate risk because of their short-term nature, fixed interest rates, and maturity. The Company is not exposed to cash flow interest rate risk on cash balances as the rate of interest is currently very low.
The Company may be exposed to fair value interest rate risk if the prevailing market rates increase or decrease compared to the interest rates associated with its financial assets. Management does not believe this risk is significant.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
For the Nine Months Ended August 31, 2020
Foreign currency risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk to the extent that monetary assets and liabilities are denominated in a foreign currency.
The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk with respect to its US denominated bank account. At August 31, 2020, financial instruments were converted at a rate of $1 US dollar to $1.3042 (November 30, 2019 – $1.3289) Canadian. A 10% change in foreign exchange rates is not expected to have a material impact on the condensed consolidated interim financial statements.
The Company has not entered into any foreign currency contracts to mitigate foreign currency risk.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation and cause the other party to incur a financial loss. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist primarily of cash and amounts receivable. The Company limits its exposure to credit risk by placing its cash with a high credit quality financial institution in Canada. For amounts receivable, the Company limits its exposure to credit risk by dealing with what management believes to be financially sound counter parties. At August 31, 2020 and November 30, 2019, most of its accounts receivable were current.
The Company’s financial assets are not subject to material credit risk as it does not anticipate significant loss for non-performance.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in raising funds to meet commitments associated with financial instruments, or the proposed transaction. The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash balances when possible.
The Company’s expected source of cash flow in the upcoming year will be through sales and debt or equity financing. Cash on hand at August 31, 2020 and expected cash flows for the next 12 months are not sufficient to fund the Company’s ongoing operational and expansion needs. The Company will need funding through equity or debt financing, entering into joint venture agreements, or a combination thereof. On July 29, 2020, the Company announced an at-the-market equity program that allows the Company to issue and sell up to $2,000,000 of common shares in the capital of the Company from treasury to the public, from time to time, at the Company’s discretion.
Capital risk management
The Company manages its capital to ensure that it will be able to continue as a going concern while maximizing the return to stakeholders through a suitable debt and equity balance appropriate for an entity of the Company’s size and status. The Company’s overall strategy remains unchanged from last year.
The capital structure of the Company consists of equity attributable to common shareholders, comprised of issued capital, reserves, and deficit. The availability of new capital will depend on many factors including positive stock market conditions, the Company’s track record, and the experience of management. The Company is not subject to any external covenants on its capital and there was no material change from the prior year.

Price risk
Price risk is the risk that the fair value of investments will decline below the cost of the underlying investments. The Company’s marketable securities are exposed to price risk.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND ESTIMATES
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates, and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income, and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Significant areas requiring the use of estimates include revenue recognition, the collectability of amounts receivable, the useful lives and carrying values of property and equipment and intangible assets, the carrying value of marketable securities and investments, the measurement of share-based compensation, and unrecognized deferred income tax assets.
Judgments made by management in the application of IFRS that have significant effect on the consolidated financial statements include the factors that are used in determining the fair value of privately held investments, the fair value of share-based compensation, the discount rates applied on marketable securities held in escrow, and the application of the going concern assumption which requires management to take into account all available information about the future, at least but not limited to twelve months from the year end of the reporting period.
ADOPTION OF NEW STANDARD – IFRS 16, LEASES
In January 2016, the IASB issued IFRS 16 Leases (“IFRS 16”) and brings most leases onto the statement of financial position for lessees under a single model, eliminating the distinction between operating and finance leases. Under IFRS 16, a lessee recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability. The right-ofuse asset is treated similarly to other non-financial assets and depreciated accordingly, and the liability accrues interest. The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments payable over the lease term, discounted at the rate implicit in the lease or an entity’s incremental borrowing rate if the implicit rate cannot be readily determined. Lessees are permitted to make an election for leases with a term of 12 months or less, or where the underlying asset is of low value, and not recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. The expense associated with these leases can be recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term or on another systematic basis.
The Company implemented IFRS 16 for the year beginning December 1, 2019. The Company used the election for short-term leases for its existing office premises lease which had a nine-month term at inception. There was no impact on the condensed consolidated interim statement of financial position at the date of initial application.
On June 1, 2020, the Company commenced a three-year lease for its office premises. Right-of-use assets recognized as a result of IFRS 16 are included in property and equipment in the consolidated statement of financial position and in Note 8. The current and non-current portion of lease liabilities are presented separately in the consolidated statement of financial position and in Note 21 of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company for the period ended August 31, 2020.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
For the Nine Months Ended August 31, 2020
Right-of-use assets are subsequently amortized over the remaining term of the lease, which is approximately 3 years. Lease liabilities are subsequently reduced by lease payments net of interest expense calculated using the effective interest method.
Amendments to IFRS 16: COVID-19 Related Rent Concessions
The amendment exempts lessees from having to consider individual lease contracts to determine whether rent concessions occurring as a direct consequent of the COVID-19 pandemic are lease modifications and allows lessees to account for such rent concessions as if they were not lease modifications. It applies to COVID-19-releated rent concessions that reduce lease payments due on or before June 30, 2021. The amendments are effective for periods beginning on or after June 1, 2020 with earlier application permitted.
The practical expedient will only apply if:
-
the revised consideration is substantially the same or less than the original consideration;
-
the reduction in lease payments relates to payments due on or before 30 June 2021; and
-
no other substantive changes have been made to the terms of the lease.
For the period ending August 31, 2020, the Company was approved under the Canada Emergency Commercial Rent Assistance (CECRA) program which provides commercial rent assistance for small businesses. The Company has applied the practical expedient to this rent concession on its only lease.
The net impact of the concession recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Interim Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income arising from this practical expedient is a credit of $29,993 against rent expenses.
