Notes to Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Tabular amounts expressed in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise noted)

For the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021

1. Nature of operations

WeCommerce Holdings Ltd. (the "Company") was incorporated on November 27, 2019 under the laws of the Province of British Columbia and maintains its head office at 2900-550 Burrard Street, Vancouver, BC V6C 0A3. Pursuant to a reverse takeover acquisition of Brachium Capital Corp. (a Canadian company listed on the TSX Venture Exchange) on December 9, 2020, the Company's shares became publicly traded under the symbol WE.V.

The Company invests in businesses who develop, sell, and support website themes and applications, as well as providing custom solutions, for clients on ecommerce platforms.

2. Basis of preparation and measurement

(a) Basis of preparation

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements ("interim financial statements") of the Company have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements, including International Accounting Standards ("IAS") 34, Interim Financial Reporting. These interim financial statements do not include all the information required for full annual financial statements and were approved by the Board of Directors for issue on November 10, 2022.

These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021.

(b) Basis of measurement

These interim financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, under the historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments that are measured at fair value, as detailed in the Company's significant accounting policies disclosed in Note 3 of the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021.

(c) Basis of consolidation

A subsidiary is an entity controlled by the Company. Control exists when the Company has the power to manage, either directly or indirectly, the entity's financial and operational policies in order to obtain benefits from its activities. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases.

The financial statements of all subsidiaries are prepared to the same reporting date as the Company using consistent accounting policies.

As at December 31, 2021, the Company had the following wholly-owned operating subsidiaries:

WeCommerce Operations Ltd. (formerly "Rehash Ltd.") Pixel Union Design Ltd. ("Pixel Union") Foursixty Inc. ("Foursixty") Stamped Technologies Pte. Ltd. ("Stamped") Archetype Themes Limited Partnership ("Archetype")

Notes to Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Tabular amounts expressed in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise noted)

For the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021

2. Basis of preparation and measurement (continued)

(c) Basis of preparation (continued)

As at September 30, 2022, the Company had the following wholly-owned operating subsidiaries:

WeCommerce Operations Ltd. Pixel Union Design Ltd. Foursixty Inc. Stamped Technologies Pte. Ltd. Archetype Themes Limited Partnership KnoCommerce Inc. ("KnoCommerce")

All Intra-Group balances and transactions are eliminated on consolidation.

(d) Functional and presentation currency

These interim financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars. The functional currency of WeCommerce, Foursixty, Pixel Union and Archetype is the Canadian dollar. The functional currency of WeCommerce Operations Ltd., Stamped and KnoCommerce is the U.S. dollar. The assets and liabilities of subsidiary entities that have a different functional currency from the Company are translated at the exchange rate prevailing at the financial position reporting date. The income statements of such entities are translated at average rates of exchange during the period. All resulting exchange differences are recognized directly in accumulated other comprehensive (loss)/income.

Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated by applying the exchange rate prevailing on the date of the transaction. At each reporting date, all monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates prevailing at the financial position reporting date. Any resulting translation adjustments are recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Net Loss and Comprehensive Income/(Loss).

(e) Estimates and judgments

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting methods and the amounts recognized in the financial statements. These estimates and the underlying assumptions are established and reviewed continuously on the basis of past experience and other factors considered reasonable in the circumstances. They therefore serve as the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from the estimates.

Significant judgments and estimates relate to:

(i) Valuation of assets and liabilities acquired in business combinations

In a business combination, the company may acquire the assets and assume certain liabilities of an acquired entity. The estimate of fair values for these transactions involves judgment in determining the fair values assigned to the tangible and intangibles assets acquired and the liabilities assumed on the acquisition. The determination of these fair values involves a variety of assumptions, including estimates surrounding the costs to acquire or reproduce a similar asset, expected future net cash flows and appropriate discount rates. Contingent consideration resulting

2. Basis of preparation and measurement (continued)

(e) Estimates and judgments (continued)

from business combinations which is classified as a financial liability, is recorded at fair value at the acquisition date as part of the business combination based on expected discounted cash flows and is remeasured to fair value at each reporting date with any subsequent change in fair value recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Net Loss and Comprehensive Income/(Loss).

(ii) Impairment of intangible assets and goodwill

Management assesses indicators of impairment for intangible assets and goodwill at each reporting date and and performs a quantitative impairment test for goodwill at least annually. When performing quantitative assessments, forecasts incorporate a number of key estimates and assumptions about future events, which are subject to uncertainty and might materially differ from the actual results. In making these key estimates and judgements, management takes into consideration assumptions that are mainly based on market conditions existing at the reporting dates and appropriate market and discount rates. These estimates are regularly compared to actual market data and actual transactions entered into by the Company.

(iii) Share based compensation

The Company measures the cost of share-based compensation transactions with employees, and directors by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. These are offered to employees and directors in the form of stock options, deferred share units, restricted share units or performance share units. Options are settled in equity; deferred share units, restricted share units and performance share units are settled in cash or equity, or a combination of each, at the option of the Company. Estimating fair value for share-based compensation requires determining the most appropriate valuation model, which is dependent on the terms and conditions of the grant. This estimate also requires determining and making assumptions about the most appropriate inputs to the valuation model including the expected term, volatility, and forfeiture rate. The expected term is determined based on management's estimate of the period of time between grant date and exercise date. Volatility is determined using a comparable peer group until such time as sufficient trading history is available for the Company's own shares.

(iv) Determination of functional currency

Determination of functional currency requires management to make judgments in evaluating primary and secondary indicators under IAS 21, The Effect of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates. Key judgments include the primary economic environment in which the Company operates, the currency that mainly influences sales prices for its services and the costs of labour, and the country whose competitive forces and regulations mainly determine sales prices.

10. Financial instruments (continued)

(b) Fair value

The following fair value measurement hierarchy is used for financial instruments that are measured in the Interim Consolidated Statement of Financial Position at fair value:

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2 – techniques (other than quoted prices included in Level 1) that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (as prices), or indirectly (as derived from prices); and

Level 3 – techniques which use inputs that are both significant to the overall fair value measurement of the asset or liability and are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, trade and other receivables, and trade and other payables approximates their fair value to the relatively short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The carrying value of bank loans is initially recognized at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method.

There were no transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy in the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021.

(c) Contingent consideration payable

Total contingent consideration payable is comprised of:

• $1,795,617 relating to the acquisition of KnoCommerce

Amounts are included within contingent consideration until they are settled.

Liabilities for contingent consideration related to business acquisitions are recorded at fair value on acquisition and are adjusted quarterly for changes in fair value. Changes in the fair value of contingent consideration liabilities can result from changes in anticipated milestone payments and changes in assumed discount periods and rates. These inputs are unobservable in the market and therefore, categorized as Level 3 inputs.

Foreign exchange 133,840
Balance on September 30, 2022 1,795,617

(d) Derivative financial instruments

The Company uses certain derivative financial instruments, primarily forward foreign exchange contracts, to manage foreign currency exposures on export sales. The Company does not designate its foreign exchange contracts as hedging instruments under a fair value hedge accounting model. Therefore, a change in foreign exchange rates at the reporting date will affect profit or loss. The derivative financial instruments are categorized under Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

At September 30, 2022, outstanding forward exchange contracts enabled the Company to convert USD $160,300 to CAD $200,000 up to November 1, 2022 (December 31, 2021 outstanding forward exchange contracts enabled the Company to convert USD $2,002,052 to CAD $2,500,000 up to November 1, 2022). The Company recognized a fair value derivative liability of $15,604 at September 30, 2022 (December 31, 2021: derivative liability of $30,132).

For the three- and nine-months ended September 30, 2022, the company recognized a loss and gain of $1,618 and $14,528, respectively (three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2021: loss of $67,412 and $74,071, respectively) on its derivative financial instruments recognized within the Interim Consolidated Statement of Net Loss and Comprehensive Income/(Loss).

(i) Foreign exchange risk

The Company's reporting currency is CAD and functional currency varies by subsidiary in either CAD or USD. The Company's term loan is denominated in USD and a significant portion of the Company's wholly owned subsidiaries' (Pixel Union, Rehash, Stamped, Foursixty, Archetype and KnoCommerce) sales occur outside of Canada and are received in U.S. Dollars. As such, the Company is exposed to foreign currency risks on cash, debt and trade and other receivables denominated in U.S. Dollars.

The Company has access to a credit facility with an aggregate amount of USD $60 million comprising of:

  • A senior revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of USD $20 million ($24.8 million);
  • A senior term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of USD $40 million ($49.6 million)

As at September 30, 2022, the Company's ability to draw on the senior delayed draw term loan in an aggregate principal amount of USD $20 million ($24.8 million) expired.

A fundamental reform of major interest rate benchmarks is being undertaken globally, including the replacement of some interbank offered rates (IBORs) with alternative nearly risk-free rates (referred to as 'IBOR reform'). During the first quarter, an amendment was made to the credit facility to replace the base rate, LIBOR, with an alternative rate as part of IBOR reform. The credit facility has transitioned its base rate to a secured overnight financing rate ("SOFR").

As at September 30, 2022, the Company was in compliance with all debt covenants. The fair value of the debt approximates the carrying value.

16. Acquisitions

All acquisitions have been accounted for using the acquisition method. The results of operations of the acquired entities are included in the Company's consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.

(a) Foursixty acquisition

On June 1, 2020, the Company completed a share purchase agreement to acquire 100% of the outstanding shares of Foursixty Inc. Foursixty is in the business of developing, selling and supporting applications for clients utilizing ecommerce platforms.
