2 MATERIAL 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 which is from activation date to end of contract term.

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 14) 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.

Critical judgement and accounting estimates

The preparation of these 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 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 and intellectual property) and goodwill 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.

vi) The recognition of deferred tax assets is based on forecasts of future taxable profit. The measurement of future taxable profit for the purposes of determining whether or not to recognize deferred tax assets depends on many factors, including the Company's ability to generate such profits and the implementation of effective tax planning strategies. The occurrence or non-occurrence of such events in the future may lead to significant changes in the measurement of deferred tax assets.

Goodwill

The carrying amount of goodwill at December 31, 2023 was $3,516,363 (2022 - $3,516,363). The Company considers the full business to be a single CGU as this is the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows. The Company performed an impairment test on its CGU at December 31, 2023. The Company assessed the recoverable amount of this CGU based on its value in use, using a discounted future cash flow model. The recoverable amount of the CGU was determined to exceed its carrying value as at December 31, 2023. The key assumptions used in the discounted future cash flow model include a discount rate of 12.5%, implied average revenue compound annual growth rate of 2% for 2024 to 2028 and 2% terminal value, and implied average operating costs compound annual growth rate of -1% for 2024 to 2028 and 2% terminal value. The analyses concluded there was no impairment on the Company's CGU.

12 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

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 September 30, 2024, the Company had approximately $27,000 (December 31, 2023 - $480,000) in amounts due from customers greater than 90 days and during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 recognized bad debt expense of $51,729 (2023 - $nil). At September 30, 2024, the Company's accounts receivable included two customers with balances making up 13% and 18% of accounts receivable. At December 31, 2023, the Company's accounts receivable included one customer with a balance making up 24% of accounts receivable. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, revenue from one customer made up 15% of the Company's total revenue. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, revenue from two customers made up 46% and 12% of the Company's total revenue.

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. All current liabilities will be settled within one year of the balance sheet date. 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 following are the contractual payments that impact the liquidity of the organization in future periods, as at September 30, 2024:

Liability maturity
Total 1 year 2-5 years > 5 years
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities $ 2,571,202 $ 2,571,202 $ - $ -
Due to related parties 25,726 25,726 - -
Lease liabilities 503,447 30,333 124,142 348,972
Total liability maturity $ 3,100,375 $ 2,627,261 $ 124,142 $ 348,972

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 $20,000 (2023 - $34,000).

b) Foreign currency risk

The Company is not exposed to foreign currency risk on fluctuations related to cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities since they are each held in their functional currency in each of the Company’s entities.
