These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2021 (December 31, 2021 consolidated financial statements) filed on SEDAR on May 2, 2022.

2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d…)

Critical judgement and accounting estimates

The preparation of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements requires management to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements and the reported expenses during the period. Significant assumptions about the future and other sources of estimation uncertainty that management has made at the end of the reporting period relate to provisions for receivables, depreciation, impairment testing, determining the fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination, determining the risk free rate of return, expected volatility and future market conditions when calculating the fair value of stock options and warrants, and determining fair values of financial instruments. Actual results could differ from these estimates due to the underlying uncertainty that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets, liabilities, and equity in the event that actual results differ from assumptions made, relate to, but are not limited to, the following:

i) The recoverability of accounts receivable and the expected credit loss allowance that are included in the consolidated statements of financial position are based on historical collection and anticipated credit risk of customers.

ii) The inputs used in accounting for share-based payments expense included in profit and loss calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model (Note 8).

iii) The carrying value of intangible assets (capitalized software platform, customer relationships and intellectual property) that are included in the consolidated statements of financial position are based on management assessments of the recoverable amount of the asset. As well, management estimates on the capitalized costs that are directly attributable to the development of the intangible asset (Note 6).

iv) The purchase price allocation corresponding to completed acquisitions.

Revenue from contracts with customers

The Company provides a full suite of promotions-related marketing services in the US, Canada and internationally, and generates revenue by designing, constructing, implementing and managing these promotions marketing services for its customers. IFRS 15 requires a single, principles-based, five-step model for the recognition of revenue when control of goods is transferred to the customer. The five steps are: identify the contract(s) with the customer, identify the performance obligations in the contract, determine the transaction price, allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation and recognize revenue as each performance obligation is satisfied. IFRS 15 also requires enhanced disclosures about revenue to help users better understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows from contracts with customers.

Arrangements with multiple deliverables

Many of the Company’s arrangements with customers include multiple performance obligations such as campaign development and campaign management which are delivered at varying times. In these cases, the Company treats the delivered items as separate performance obligations of accounting if they have value to the customer on a stand-alone basis and, where the arrangement includes a general right of return relative to the delivered item, delivery or performance of undelivered items is considered probable and substantially in the Company’s control. The Company allocates the total arrangement consideration to all performance obligations using its best estimate of their relative fair value, since vendorspecific objective or third-party evidence of the selling price is generally unavailable. It then recognizes revenue on the different performance obligations in accordance with the policies set out above.

13 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Fair value

Fair value estimates of financial instruments are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant information about financial markets and specific financial instruments. As these estimates are subjective in nature, involving uncertainties and matters of significant judgement, they cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions can significantly affect estimated fair values. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly; and Level 3 – Inputs that are not based on observable market data.

The carrying value of cash, accounts receivable excluding sales tax, due to related parties, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and loans approximate their fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

Financial risk factors

The Company’s risk exposures and the impact on the Company’s financial statements are summarized below.

Credit risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a significant concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and accounts receivable excluding sales tax. The Company places its cash with major financial institutions to limit risk from cash. The maximum exposure to credit risk is equal to the fair value or carrying value of the related financial assets. The Company’s receivables consist of amounts due from customers. Some customers settle their accounts past normal trade terms and in cases where amounts become uncollectible the Company recognizes bad debt expense to write off the uncollectible amounts. At September 30, 2022, the Company had $79,913 (December 31, 2021 - $289,137) in amounts due from customers greater than 90 days and during the period ended September 30, 2022 the Company recognized bad debt expense of $nil (2021 - $nil).

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its obligations as they become due. Management is of the opinion that sufficient working capital is available from its financings and will be obtained from operations to meet the Company's liabilities and commitments as they come due. The Company manages its liquidity risk by forecasting cash flows from operations and anticipating any investing and financing activities. Management and the Board of Directors are actively involved in the review, planning and approval of significant expenditures and commitments.

The Company announced on May 31, 2018 that it secured a two-million-dollar credit facility with Bridge Bank. The credit facility is an accounts receivable line of credit to provide the Company with additional working capital and is secured by the Company’s accounts receivable and intellectual property, consisting of all recognized and unrecognized intangible assets. As at September 2021, the Company had a zero balance on the credit facility. The credit facility bears interest at prime plus 1.75%. During the periods ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, the Company incurred $nil in interest expense. During the period ended September 30, 2022, the Company cancelled this credit facility with Bridge Bank as it has not been used over the past year. The Company may secure a similar credit facility in the future.

Market risk

Market risk is the risk of loss that may arise from changes in market factors such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates and commodity and equity prices. Such fluctuations may be significant.

a) Interest rate risk

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk to the extent that the cash maintained at financial institutions is subject to a floating rate of interest. The interest rate risks on cash and on the Company’s, obligations are not considered significant. A plus or minus 1% change in interest rates would affect profit or loss by approximately $nil (2021 - $nil).

b) Foreign currency risk

The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk on fluctuations related to cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities that are denominated in a foreign currency. As at September 30, 2022, the Company held cash as well as accounts payable and accrued liabilities denominated in the Canadian dollar, European Euro, Swiss Franc, and Indian Rupee and considers foreign currency risk low. The majority of the Company's foreign currency amounts are held in Canadian dollars. A plus or minus 1% change in Canadian foreign exchange rates would affect profit or loss and comprehensive profit or loss by less than $2,000 (2021 - $1,000).

The following table summarizes the Company’s exposure to the Canadian currency:

14 ACQUISITION OF GAMBIT

On February 18, 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of Gambit Digital Promotions Inc. (“Gambit”). Pursuant to the acquisition agreement, the Company has purchased all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Gambit in consideration for $5 million of which $0.3 million was paid in cash (paid prior to December 31, 2021 and recorded as advances) and $4.7 million was paid with 20,524,925 common shares of the Company to the Gambit shareholders (the “Snipp Consideration Shares”). The Snipp Consideration Shares were issued at a deemed price of C$0.2903 being the 10day trailing volume weighted average price of the common shares of Snipp on the TSX-V prior to the date of announcement of the transaction on January 11, 2022. The market price of the Company's common shares declined from the announcement date to the closing date, resulting in the fair value of the Snipp Consideration Shares issued being valued at $3.48 million and the total fair value of all consideration paid to be $3.78 million.

In addition, the Gambit shareholders may also qualify for additional consideration in the form of an earn-out over the next 3 years based on achieving certain revenue milestones at predefined margins, which earn-out can, at the sole discretion of the Company be paid out in cash or in common shares of Snipp priced at the 90-day trailing volume weighted average price of the common shares of Snipp on the TSX-V prior to the last day of the applicable earn-out year.
