Notes to Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Tabular amounts expressed in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise noted) For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022
TINY LTD.
1. Incorporation and nature of activities
On April 17, 2023, WeCommerce Holdings Ltd. (a Canadian company previously listed on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol "WE") ("WeCommerce") acquired all of the outstanding shares of Tiny Capital Ltd. ("Tiny Capital") by way of a three-cornered amalgamation with WeCommerce changing its name to Tiny Ltd. (the "Company" or “Tiny”).
Upon completion, the shareholders of Tiny Capital obtained control over WeCommerce, resulting in a reverse take-over. The resulting financial statements are presented as a continuance of Tiny Capital (accounting acquirer), and comparative figures presented in the consolidated financial statements are those of Tiny Capital (Note 4).
WeCommerce was incorporated on November 27, 2019 under the laws of the Province of British Columbia. Tiny Capital was incorporated under the British Columbia Business Corporations Act on January 14, 2016. Tiny Capital is an investment holding company that invests in a variety of businesses either directly, through operating subsidiaries, or through a private equity fund where it serves as the general partner. Through its operating subsidiaries and equity investees, including Dribbble Holdings Ltd. (“Dribbble”) and Beam Digital Ltd. (“Beam”), Tiny Capital engages in a variety of technology enabled businesses including digital product design and engineering agency services, and operating a creative community network and digital asset marketplace.
Prior to December 31, 2022, Tiny Capital held 24.6% ownership in Beam, while the remaining 75.4% was held by entities controlled by Tiny Capital’s controlling shareholder. On December 31, 2022, Tiny Capital purchased the remaining 75.4% of Beam, resulting in Beam becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary. The acquisition of Beam is a transaction between entities under common control since Beam is ultimately controlled by the same party before and after the purchase of the remaining 75.4% by Tiny Capital. This transaction has been recorded at the carrying value of the assets and liabilities at the acquisition date. Management has adopted the predecessor basis of accounting, whereby Beam’s results of operations and financial positions are included in these financial statements at historical amounts recorded by Beam as if Beam has always been wholly owned by Tiny Capital.
Tiny maintains its registered office at 2900-550 Burrard Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6C 0A3.
2. Basis of preparation and measurement
(a) Statement of compliance
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” using accounting policies consistent with the IFRS Accounting Standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). These condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include all the information required for annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited annual consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes for the year ended December 31, 2022. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements were approved for issuance by the Company’s Board of Directors (“Board”) on November 16, 2023.

Notes to Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Tabular amounts expressed in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise noted) For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022
TINY LTD.
2. Basis of preparation and measurement (continued)
(b) Basis of measurement
These interim condensed consolidated 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 annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022.
(c) Basis of consolidation
A subsidiary is an entity over which the Company has control, where control indicates exposure or rights to variable returns and the ability to affect those returns through power to direct the activities of the investee. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is obtained by the Company. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date control ceases. As part of the amalgamation, the operating business of WeCommerce Holdings Ltd. and its subsidiaries were transferred to the partnership, WeCommerce Holdings LP.
The financial statements of all subsidiaries are prepared according to the same reporting date as the Company using consistent accounting policies.
Principal subsidiaries of Tiny are as follows:
| Ownership | Ownership | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| percentage at | percentage at | ||
| Entity | Country | September 30, 2023 | December 31, 2022 |
| Beam Digital Ltd. | Canada | 100% | 100% |
| Dribbble Holdings Ltd. | Canada | 74.49% | 74.52% |
| Tiny Boards Holdings Ltd. | Canada | 100% | 100% |
| Meteor Software Holdings Ltd. | Canada | 100% | 100% |
| WeCommerce Holdings LP | Canada | 100% | 26.80% |
(d) Functional and presentation currency
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is Tiny’s functional currency. 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 Income/(Loss) and Comprehensive Income/(Loss).

2. Basis of preparation and measurement (continued)
(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) Revenue recognition, unbilled revenue and deferred revenue
For certain of its revenue streams, the Company recognizes revenue based on the extent of progress in each period towards completion of the performance obligation. The extent of progress towards completion is based on internal estimates, with reference to the proportion of work performed relative to the deliverable. Due to the nature of the work performed in order to satisfy the performance obligation, management’s estimation of percentage of completion requires significant judgement The assumptions and factors that can affect the accuracy of the estimate, include but are not limited to, the estimated costs for a contract in total, and estimated costs to completion at the reporting date.
- (ii) 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 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 Income/(Loss) and Comprehensive Income.
- (iii) Impairment of intangible assets and goodwill
Management assesses indicators of impairment for intangible assets and goodwill at each reporting date and performs a quantitative impairment test for goodwill at least annually and whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. 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. The key assumptions are annual revenue growth rate, operating margins, and pre-tax discount rates. In making these key estimates and judgements, management takes into consideration historical data from both external and internal sources and consideration of future industry trends existing at the reporting dates. These estimates are regularly compared to actual market data and actual transactions entered into by the Company.

2. Basis of preparation and measurement (continued)
(e) Estimates and judgments (continued)
- (iv) Share-based compensation
The Company measures the cost of share-based compensation transactions with qualifying directors, employees, officers and consultants by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. These are offered to qualifying directors, employees, officers and consultants in the form of stock options (“Options”), deferred share units (“DSUs”), restricted share units (“RSUs”) or performance share units (“PSUs”). Options are settled in equity; DSUs, RSUs and PSUs 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.
- (v) Valuation of investments held in a fund
For investments in private companies carried at fair value, the Company determines these fair values using a market approach and/or income approach based on a variety of assumptions, including but not limited to transaction price in similar transactions, valuation of comparable companies, and projections provided by the underlying investees, etc.
- (vi) 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.
(f) Comparative Information
Certain comparative information in the Interim Condensed Consolidated Statements of Net Income/(Loss) and Comprehensive Income/(Loss) has been reclassified for financial statement presentation purposes.

3. Significant accounting policies
The significant accounting policies applied in preparation of these interim financial statements are consistent with the accounting policies disclosed in Note 3 of the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 with the exception the following:
Intangible assets
As part of the reverse acquisition (Note 4), management reviewed the useful lives of all its intangible assets. Intangible assets previously considered to have indefinite useful lives were reassessed and determined to have a foreseeable limit on the period of time over which it is expected to contribute to the cash flows of the reporting entity. Consequently, a revision was made to update the useful lives of certain trade names and brand assets after April 17, 2023 and an additional $982,092 was recorded in depreciation and amortization for the period ended September 30, 2023. The revised amortization rates and asset categories are as follows:
| Asset class | Amortizationperiod |
|---|---|
| Customer relationships and contracts | 5-10 years |
| Trade names and brand | 5 years |
| Software and website | 5-10 years |
| Foundry relationships | 15 years |
| Other | 2years |
Earnings/(loss) per share
Basic earnings/(loss) per share is computed by the weighted average of (i) the number of retrospectively calculated common shares outstanding from the beginning of the period to the acquisition date; and (ii) the number of common shares outstanding from the acquisition date to the end of the period. Basic earnings per share for the comparative period is computed by the weighted average number of retrospectively calculated common shares outstanding during the period.
Diluted earnings/(loss) per share mis determined by adjusting the net loss and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential common shares, which are comprised of additional shares from the assumed exercise or conversion of options, DSUs, RSUs and PSUs. Anti-dilutive options are not considered in computing the diluted earnings/(loss) per share.
Creative Platform revenue
The accounting policies for the year ended December 31, 2022 also included the following accounting policy on Creative Platform revenue:
Prior to April 1, 2022, Creative Platform revenue was recognized net of amounts due to sellers as control of the digital goods or assets is transferred to the buyers. Effective April 1, 2022, due to changes in the marketplace contracts, the Company has concluded that they are acting as the principal in the transaction. For all new contracts entered into from April 1, 2022 onwards, revenue is recorded on a gross basis while the amounts due to sellers are recorded as marketplace content costs.

(b) Other associates
The Company also has interests of $30,273,866 and $18,744,887 in other associates at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Of the other interests in associates, the only material investment was an interest in a U.S. investment fund.
Prior to December 2022, the interest was held through TFC Investment Ltd., a private Canadianincorporated jointly controlled entity in which the Company holds a 50% interest. The main assets held by the entity are:
-
(1) All the shares of an LLC that serves as the general partner for the U.S. fund; and
-
(2) a 20.22% interest in the LP units of the underlying fund.
Under the various agreements associated with TFC Investment Ltd., the Company is entitled to a 50% interest in the GP earnings, which are based on a proportion of the return on the fund after the hurdle rate is reached, and all of the earnings of the 20.22% LP units. Due to the nature of the arrangement, the Company had historically accounted for its equity interest in TFC Investment Ltd. using the hypothetical liquidation value. In December 2022, the 20.22% interest in the LP units was transferred from TFC Investment Ltd. to the Company. As a result, the Company accounts for its interest in the U.S. fund using the equity method and retains the fair value accounting of the underlying investments by the U.S. funds.
As at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the investment had carrying amounts of $29,522,897 and $18,078,787, respectively. For the nine month periods ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, the Company recognized its proportionate share of income of $114,421 and loss of $1,916, respectively.

15. Share-based compensation
On June 23, 2022, the shareholders of WeCommerce approved an equity incentive plan (the “Omnibus Plan”). The Omnibus Plan permits the Board to issue Options, RSUs, PSUs and DSUs to eligible directors, employees and consultants. Under the terms of the Omnibus Plan, the Company may issue equity awards up to 10% of the issued and outstanding Shares of the Company from time to time.
(a) Stock options
As WeCommerce is the accounting acquiree, all awards issued to employees of WeCommerce prior to the reverse acquisition (Note 4) are considered to be issued as replacement awards at the acquisition date. To the extent that such awards are vested at the acquisition date, the value of these awards is included in the consideration for the business combination.
A summary of the Company’s outstanding options and changes during the periods then ended that are a part of the Omnibus Plan are as follows:
| part of the Omnibus Plan are as follows: | |
|---|---|
| Number of options | Weighted average exercise price ($) |

15. Share-based compensation (continued)
(b) RSU, DSUs and PSUs
RSUs, DSUs and PSUs within the Omnibus Plan can be settled in either shares, cash, or a combination of both, at the option of the Company. It is the Company’s intent to settle the outstanding RSUs, DSUs and PSUs in shares. RSUs and DSUs are classified as equity-settled and valued at the closing share price on the grant date. PSUs are classified as equity-settled. PSUs with non-market conditions are measured at fair value on the ten-day VWAP preceding each vesting date. The forgoing summary is qualified by the full text of the Omnibus Plan.
As a result of the reverse acquisition (Note 4), the outstanding RSUs, DSUs and PSUs of WeCommerce were not modified but were considered to be replacement awards. The outstanding RSU awards previously issued by Tiny were exchanged for RSUs at the conversion rate applicable to other outstanding instruments. A summary of the outstanding amounts and changes during the periods then ended are as follows:
| RSUs | DSUs | PSUs | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Outstanding, December 31, 2022 | - | - | - |

21. Contingencies and commitments
Due to the size, complexity, and nature of the Company’s operations, various legal, tax, environmental, and regulatory matters are outstanding from time to time. By their nature, contingencies will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company accrues for such items when a liability is both probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. In the opinion of management, based on the information currently available, these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

21. Contingencies and commitments (continued)
The fair value of the contingent consideration was estimated by calculating the present value of the future expected cash flows. The following table presents the changes in the fair value of the Company’s liability for contingent consideration:
| Balance on January 1, 2022 | 1,182,812 |
|---|---|
| Issued on business combination (Note 5) | 8,890,213 |
| Foreign exchange | (93,247) |
| Balance on December 31, 2022 | 9,979,778 |
| Acquired through business combination (Note 4 and Note 5) | 1,666,737 |
| Adjustment to fair value | (112,095) |
| Foreign exchange | (2,785) |
| Balance on September 30, 2023 | 11,531,635 |
During the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023, the Company reassessed the fair value of the expected contingent consideration and decreased the amounts by $135,150 and $112,095, respectively.
Capital commitment
In connection with the LP interest held in an investment fund, the Company has committed to fund 20.22% of the total US $148,138,286 capital commitment. As at September 30, 2023, the Company had a remaining capital commitment of US $2,808,424 that had not yet been called (December 31, 2022: US $13,400,000) and US $3,000,000 (CAD $4,074,210) of unfunded capital that was subsequently paid on October 13, 2023.
Additionally, Beam has a partnership interest held in an investment fund. Beam has committed to fund US $2,000,000 to the fund which has a total size of US $14,200,000. As at September 30, 2023, Beam had a remaining capital commitment of US $1,400,000 that had not yet been called (December 31, 2022: US $2,000,000).
Indemnifications in contracts
The Company has entered agreements with third parties that include indemnification provisions that are customary in the industry. These indemnification provisions generally require the Company to compensate the other party for certain damages and costs incurred as a result of third-party claims or damages arising from these transactions. The maximum amount of potential future indemnification is unlimited; however, the Company currently holds commercial and product liability insurance. This insurance limits the Company’s exposure and may enable it to recover a portion of any future amounts paid. Historically, the Company has not made any indemnification payments under such agreements and the Company believes that the fair value of these indemnification obligations is minimal. Accordingly, the Company has not recognized any liabilities relating to these obligations for any period presented.

(b) Fair value
Fair value measurements of financial instruments are required to be classified using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of inputs in making the measurements. The levels of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows:
- Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

22. Financial instruments (continued)
(b) Fair value (continued)
-
Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
-
Level 3 - Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.
Cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, note receivable, trade and other payables, due to/ from related parties, and lease liabilities are carried at amortized cost, which carrying values approximate their fair values due to the relatively short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The carrying value of debt is initially recognized at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method.
The Company evaluates the fair value of its equity investments in privately held companies relative to periodic third-party valuations over the private companies, financial reporting, estimated value in an exchange with a third party and, where applicable, indications of impairment.
The fair values of derivative contracts are measured using a Level 2 fair value measurement.
The fair values of contingent consideration payable are measured based on management’s forecast of operating results of the relevant acquired subsidiaries (e.g. revenue and adjusted EBITDA) and estimated discount rates. Accordingly, the valuations involve the use of unobservable inputs and is categorized as Level 3 fair value measurements. Changes in the fair value of contingent consideration payable can result from changes in anticipated milestone payments and changes in assumed discount periods and rates. Contingent consideration payable are remeasured at fair value each reporting period with the gain or loss being recognized through the Statement of Net Income/(Loss) and Comprehensive Income/(Loss).
There were no transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy in the year ended December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2023.
- (i) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of potential loss to the Company if the counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company’s credit risk is primarily attributable to its liquid financial assets, including cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, note receivable, and lease receivable. The Company limits exposure to credit risk on liquid financial assets through maintaining its cash and cash equivalents with high-credit quality financial institutions. The Company considers the risk of financial loss on cash and cash equivalents to be remote.
The Company reduces credit risk with respect to trade receivables by regularly assessing the credit risk associated with these accounts and closely monitoring any overdue balances. In the opinion of management, the strength of these customers is such that concentration risk exposure to the Company is low.
- (ii) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company’s objective in managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it has sufficient liquidity available to meet its liabilities when due. The Company manages liquidity risk through the management of its capital structure in conjunction with cash flow forecasting including anticipated investing and financing activities.
