2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d…)

Revenue from contracts with 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 obligation(s) in the contract, determine the transaction price, allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation and recognize revenue as each performance obligation is satisfied. The Company only recognizes revenue when collection is reasonably assured. If collection is not considered reasonably assured, revenue is recognized only once all amounts are collected. Revenue is recorded net of rebates. Amounts billed in excess of revenue recognized to date on an arrangement by arrangement basis are classified as deferred revenue, whereas revenue recognized in excess of amounts billed is classified as accrued receivables and included as part of accounts receivable.

Many of the Company’s arrangements with customers include multiple performance obligations which are delivered at varying times. In these cases, the Company treats the delivered items as separate performance obligations of accounting if they are distinct, being separately identifiable and providing value to the customer on a standalone basis. The Company provides a full suite of promotions-related marketing services in the US, Canada and internationally, and generates revenue by designing and developing software solutions, platform licensing, receipt processing services, reward fulfilment and reward gaming. Design and development, platform services, licensing, receipt processing, and reward fulfilment services are often included within a single contract. In these contracts, design and development, platform services, licensing, receipt processing are all included as a single performance obligation, while reward fulfilment services are a separate performance obligation.

Design and development of software solutions provides customers with the creation of campaign specific software to facilitate end user engagement and participation in our customer’s promotional campaigns. The design and development services are provided as part of a performance obligation that includes multiple services, and are recognized over the term that the performance obligation is delivered. Platform licensing and related service agreements provide customers the right to access the Company’s software platform for promotions and loyalty programs that are used to validate purchases, provide rewards and generate data analytics on transactions, on a subscription basis. The length of these platform licensing agreements varies as some are linked to the customer’s short-term promotional campaigns which can range in length from four to twelve weeks and others may be linked to the customer’s longer-term loyalty-based programs and be subscribed to on an annual or multiyear basis. Licensing revenues are recognized over the term that the performance obligation is delivered.

Reward fulfilment involves various third-party rewards being procured and delivered to our customer’s end users who participate in their promotional campaigns. These reward fulfilment solutions are typically part of agreements that include a subset of the other product offerings listed above. The length of these services varies as some are linked to the customer’s short-term promotional campaigns which can range in length from four to twelve weeks and others may be linked to the customer’s longer-term loyalty-based programs and be for an annual or multiyear basis. Funds are collected from customers in advance and included in deferred revenue until reward fulfilment services occur, at which point these are recognized in revenue. There are refund obligations for any amounts collected that are above the actual usage of rewards fulfilled when the service period has concluded. These refund amounts are reclassified out of deferred revenue and into accounts payable. Reward fulfilment revenues are recognized on a gross basis based on the Company acting as the principal in these arrangements.

The Company acquired Gambit Digital Promotions Inc. (Note 15) and as a result of that acquisition acquired an online free-to-play sports gaming platform and a corresponding rewards product that generates revenue by the issuance of tokens (“Tokens”) to our customer’s end users. Our customers enter into a contract with the Company to provide Tokens to their end users and by doing so the Company generates revenue and bills monthly based on the number of Tokens issued to the end users. Token revenues are recognized over the average use period of the Tokens. These Tokens can be played or wagered within the online sports gaming platform with the intention of winning additional Tokens which can then be exchanged for various prizes.

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, judgements 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, amortization and depreciation, impairment testing, 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) Business combinations require management to exercise judgment in measuring the fair value of purchase consideration and to identify and estimate the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Judgment is also required in determining whether an acquisition is a business combination or asset acquisition under IFRS 3 Business Combinations.

v) The timing of revenue recognition, determination of transaction prices, and the allocation of transaction prices to each performance obligation, require management to exercise judgement in determining when performance obligations have been completed.

12 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.

12 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (cont’d…)

Financial risk factors

The Company’s risk exposures and the impact on the Company’s consolidated 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 March 31, 2023, the Company had $856 (December 31, 2022 - $22,000) in amounts due from customers greater than 90 days and during the period ended March 31, 2023 the Company recognized bad debt expense of $nil (2022 - $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.

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 $34,000 (2022 - $21,000).

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 March 31, 2023, 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 $5,000 (2022 - $5,000).

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

13 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 $3.33 million and the total fair value of all consideration paid to be $3.63 million.

In addition, the Gambit shareholders may also qualify for additional consideration in the form of an earn-out over the 3 years from February 18, 2022, 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.

The fair value of the net liabilities of Gambit prior to closing was as follows:

Cash and cash equivalents $ 10,329
Accounts receivable 100
Deposits, prepaid expenses and other assets 17,846
Technology asset 630,000
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities (157,735)
Deferred revenue (386,903)
$ 113,637
The Company’s purchase price allocation is asfollows:
Net assets acquired $ 113,637
Goodwill 3,516,363
$3,630,000

Goodwill corresponds to the workforce acquired, future growth and is a result of excess purchase consideration over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired.
