INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of XTM Inc. Toront, Ontario, Canada
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of XTM Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”), which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at December 31, 2023 and the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss, consolidated statement of changes in shareholder's deficiency, and consolidated statement of changes in cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2023, and the results of its operations and its consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated financial statements in Canada, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern
We draw attention to Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, which indicates that the Company incurred a net loss during the year ended December 31, 2023 and, as of that date, the Company had an accumulated deficit. As stated in Note 1 these events or conditions that indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Emphasis of Matters
We draw attention to Note 23 in the consolidated financial statements, which explains use of restricted cash funds by the Company for its operating and program management resulting in a potential liability to the Company. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
In addition to the matter described in the Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern section, we have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.
Key Audit Matters How our audit addressed the key audit matters Revenue Recognition The Company's revenue from contracts with customer We responded to this matter by performing procedures (IFRS 15) relates to technology solutions provided to in relation to the assessment of revenue recognition. restaurants and salons for disseminating earned wages Our audit work in relation to this included, but was not and gratuities. The Company has multiple revenue restricted to, the following:
The Company's revenue from contracts with customer (IFRS 15) relates to technology solutions provided to restaurants and salons for disseminating earned wages and gratuities. The Company has multiple revenue streams as described in Note 3,4 and 25 which include card revenue and program revenue.
- We obtained the understanding of the process and internal controls related to each significant revenue generating activity with the scope of IFRS 15.
The Company enters into agreements with restaurants and has various performance obligations.
- We tested determination of individual performance obligations identified by the Company to ensure distinct performance obligations identified were consistent with the contracts.
The application of revenue recognition policies requires Company to exercise judgment in the following areas:
-
Assessing whether the Company's performance obligations are distinct from one another.
-
We assessed whether all distinct obligations noted in the contracts were complete and revenue was recognized appropriately.
-
Determining the timing of when revenue is recognized for the separate performance obligations and whether the performance is deemed to occur over time or at a point in time.
-
We evaluated the key judgments applied by the Company including:
- Assessing whether the performance obligations noted in the contract are distinct or highly interdependent and highly interrelated.
-
For performance obligations satisfied over time, the selection of an appropriate methodology to best depict the transfer of services to the customer under the contract.
-
Assessing the application of over time revenue recognition methodology.
These judgments required significant auditor attention and accordingly, we identified revenue recognition as a key audit matter.
Goodwill Impairment Analysis
As described in Notes 3 and 6 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company's goodwill balance was $3,127,619 as of December 31, 2023.
Goodwill is tested for impairment annually, or whenever certain events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of goodwill may be greater than the recoverable amount. For the purpose of impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generate cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of cash inflows of other assets or groups of assets (a cash generating unit ("CGU")).
Management uses the higher of the value in use and fair value less cost of disposal approach to determine the recoverable amount for all CGUs.
We considered this to be a key audit matter due to the significant judgment made by management in estimating the recoverable amount for goodwill and a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity and effort in performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence relating to management's estimates. This resulted in an increased extent of audit effort, including the involvement of internal valuation specialists.
We responded to this matter by performing procedures in relation to the goodwill impairment analysis. Our audit work in relation to this included, but was not restricted to, the following:
-
Evaluated the appropriateness of the discounted cash flow models by testing the completeness, accuracy, and relevance of underlying data used in the cash flow models.
-
• Obtained an understanding of management's internal control process as it relates to the determination of key inputs and assumptions.
-
• Evaluated management's assumptions related to revenue growth rates, and ratio of expenses after considering (i) the current and past performance of each CGU, (ii) the consistency with forecasts per industry data, and (iii) whether these assumptions were consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit.
-
• With the assistance of internal valuation specialists, evaluated the reasonableness of management's impairment model and evaluated management's assumptions related to the pre-tax discount rate.
-
• Assessed the appropriateness of the disclosures relating to the assumptions used in the impairment assessments in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.
Other Matter
The consolidated financial statements of XTM Inc. for the year ended December 31, 2022, were audited by another auditor who expressed an unmodified opinion on those statements on August 3, 2023.
Other Information
Management is responsible for the other information, which comprises the information included in the Company’s Management Discussion & Analysis.
Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed on this other information, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit and also:
-
➢ Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
➢ Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control.
-
➢ Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
➢ Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our
auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
➢ Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
➢ Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

Going Concern
The Company's audited consolidated financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realisation of assets and the satisfaction of obligations in the normal course of business.
The audited consolidated financial statements show a net loss of $16,082,923 for the year ended December 31, 2023 (December 31, 2022 - $7,266,150) trust deficit of $7,929,441 the Company had an accumulated deficit of $35,606,600 (December 31, 2022 - $19,523,677). These conditions indicate the existence of material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt over the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
In view of these matters, continuation as a going concern is dependent upon the continued development of the financial product and services of the Company, which in turn is dependent upon the Company’s ability to meet its financial requirements, raise additional capital, and the success of its future operations. The audited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amount and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should the Company not continue as a going concern.
Management is funding operations of the Company through advances from existing shareholders, private placement of convertible debt, credit facilities, restricted cash or the issuance of shares in lieu of cash for payment of services and chooses the best funding method that is in the best interest of the Company and related stakeholders at the time of funding.
In Q1 2024 the Company obtained a term sheet for $20,000,000 lending facility from which funds can be used for operations (with approval from the lender) and the deficit of restricted cash fully reconciled on demand, in the event a customer demands repayment of the restricted cash . Note that while the deficit of restricted cash has not been cured, the funds available under the credit facility can be used for the settlement of any demands for restricted cash in the event of such demand and there is no risk to the return of restricted cash. A total of US$2,848,328 has been drawn on the facility as at September 30, 2024.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND PRESENTATION
a) Statement of compliance:
These audited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”) in effect as of December 31, 2023.
These audited consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on September 30, 2024.
b) Basis of presentation:
These audited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis using accounting policies and methods as described in nfote 3. Assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination are measured at fair value.
c) Basis of consolidation:
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries. A subsidiary is an entity that the Company controls, either directly or indirectly, where control is defined as the power over the entity, rights to variable returns from its involvement with the entity, and the ability to use its power to affect the amount of returns. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date of control commences until the date that control ceases to exist. The Company reassesses whether it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control listed above. Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealized gains or losses between subsidiaries are eliminated in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the reporting Company using consistent accounting policies.
Subsidiaries and investments included within these consolidated financial statements include:
| Name of Subsidiary | Ownership | Functional | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| and/ or Investment | Place of Incorporation | Interest | Currency | Status |
| XTM Inc. | Ontario, Canada | 100% | CAD | Active |
| XTM USA Inc. | Delaware, United States | 100% | USD | Active |
| QRails, Inc.Note (i) | Delaware, United States | 100% | USD | Active |
| QRails Ltd.Note (i) | United Kingdom | 100% | GBP | Active |
| QRails Ireland Ltd.Note(i) | Ireland | 100% | EUR | Active |
- (i) These subsidiaries were acquired by the Company on August 18, 2023 (Note 5).
Management has determined it has a single operating segment as at December 31, 2023 as the products and regions in which the Company operates have similar operating characteristics and the chief operating decision maker, being the CEO of the Company, evaluates performance for the Company as a whole. In addition, no geographical segments of the Company exceed the monetary threshold to be categorized separately as an operating segment.

XTM Inc. Notes to the audited consolidated financial statements For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022
d) Foreign currency translation:
(i) Functional and presentation currency
The functional currency for the Company and its subsidiaries is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. The Company determined its functional currency is CAD and that the different functional currencies for each of its subsidiaries are listed in the table in (c) basis of consolidation. Determination of functional currency may involve certain judgments to determine the primary economic environment and the Company reconsiders the functional currency of its subsidiaries if there is a change in events and conditions that determined the primary economic environment.
The Company’s subsidiaries are all translated to its presentation currency for consolidated reporting. The audited consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, and all resulting exchange differences are accounted in Currency Translation Reserve in Other Comprehensive Loss.
(ii) Transactions and balances
Transactions in a currency other than the functional currency (“foreign currency”) are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Currency translation differences resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the closing rates at the balance sheet date are recognised in profit or loss. Non-monetary items measured at fair values in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair values are determined.
(iii) Translation of Company’s subsidiaries’ financial statements
The results and financial position of all the entities that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows: (i) Assets and liabilities are translated at the closing exchange rates at the reporting date; (ii) Income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates (unless the average is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated using the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions); and (iii) All resulting currency translation differences are recognised in other comprehensive income.
3. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The preparation of the audited consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make critical judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies, reported amounts of assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities, revenues and expenses at the date of the audited consolidated financial statements and during the reporting period.
Estimates and assumptions are continuously evaluated and are based on management's historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Actual outcomes can differ from these estimates, with revisions to critical accounting estimates recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the review affects both current and future periods.

XTM Inc.
Notes to the audited consolidated financial statements For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022
Refer to note 4 for further details regarding the use of critical accounting estimates and judgements. The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these audited consolidated financial statements.
Inventory
Inventory is comprised of payment cards and program collateral and envelopes. Inventory is valued at the lower of cost, determined on a weighted average cost basis, and net realizable value.
Net realizable value is determined as the estimated selling price less a reasonable estimate of the costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. The Company reviews inventory for obsolete, redundant and slow-moving goods and any such inventories are written down to net realizable value. Factors considered in determining obsolescence include, but are not limited to, slow-moving inventory or products that can no longer be marketed, typically because of a program closing. As such, any identified slow moving and/or obsolete inventory is written down to its net realizable value through costs and expenses applicable to revenues on the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss.
Property and Equipment
All items of property and equipment are stated at historical cost, less any accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes all costs directly attributable to the acquisition.
Depreciation is recognized in profit or loss on a basis that most closely reflects the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits embodied in the asset. Methods of depreciation are as follows:
| Rate | Method | |
|---|---|---|
| Computer equipment | 45% | Diminishing balance |
| Furniture and fixtures | 20% | Diminishing balance |
| Telephone equipment | 20% | Diminishing balance |
| Servers and hardware | - | Straight-line over 5 years |
| Right-of-use assets | - | Straight-line over term of the lease |
Depreciation methods, useful lives, and residual values are reviewed at reporting period date and adjusted as appropriate.
Gains or losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognized in profit or loss.
Intangible assets
Intangible assets with finite useful lives that are acquired separately are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and any impairment losses. Amortization is recognized on a straight-line basis over the remaining estimated useful life of the asset acquired, which ranges from 3.5 – 8 years.
Software platforms with finite useful lives are measured at acquisition cost. Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their useful life, which is 3.5 years for software platform, and an impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss when their recoverable amount is less than their net carrying amount.
Goodwill
9
XTM Inc.
Notes to the audited consolidated financial statements For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022
Goodwill is the amount that results when the fair value of consideration transferred for an acquired business exceeds the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities recognized. When the Company enters into a business combination, the acquisition method of accounting is used. Goodwill is assigned, as of the date of the business combination, to cash-generating units (a “CGU”) that are expected to benefit from the business combination. Each CGU represents the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes and it is never larger than an operating segment. Goodwill is stated at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is not amortized but is subject to impairment testing at least once a year, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount may be impaired. Impairment losses relating to goodwill cannot be reversed in future periods. When the excess of the consideration transferred less the assets and liabilities acquired is negative, a bargain purchase gain is recognized immediately in earnings.
Provisions
A provision is recognized when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation because of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic resources will be required to settle the obligation, and the amount of the obligation can be reliably estimated. If the effect is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability.
A provision for onerous contracts is recognized when the expected benefits to be derived by the Company from a contract are lower than the unavoidable cost of meeting its obligations under the contract.
Share capital
Financial instruments issued by the Company are classified as equity only to the extent that they do not meet the definition of a financial liability or financial asset. Share capital is presented at the value of the shares issued. Costs related to issuing shares are reported net of tax as a deduction of the proceeds from the issue.
Restricted Cash and Program Deposits
The Company receives funds as restricted cash from its customers, holds the restricted cash in a custodial account (each a “Custodial Account”) on behalf of the customers, and then transmits restricted cash on an as-needed basis to the respective customer’s employees via the AnyDay™ Financial app and prepaid card (“Loading”). The Custodial Accounts are held in a schedule 1 financial institution in Canada, and typically, the restricted cash is deposited into a bank account which is segregated from funds use for the Company’s operations and working capital requirements.
Under agreements with each customer (the “Customer Agreements”), customers are required to prefund all amounts required for the loading of cardholder cards, held by each customer’s employees who participate in the Company’s programs, to a Custodial Account, pursuant to which the Company will act as agent and bare trustee in respect of the restricted cash for as long as they remain in the Custodial Account. The Company is contractually bound under the Customer Agreements to hold all restricted cash in a Custodial Account for the benefit of the customers. The Customer Agreements provide that pre-funded deposits by a customer shall remain the property of the Customer until the time such funds are loaded onto the respective cardholder’s cards or assigned for e¬transfers at the direction of the customer and the discretion of the Company based on historical data usage. Any restricted cash deposited by the customer to the Custodial Account and not loaded on a respective cardholder’s card may be required to be returned to the Customer on demand.
Restricted cash includes the funds deposited by the client and held at the relevant time in Custodial Accounts are held in accordance with the terms of the Customer Agreements.

Program deposits represents the amount of restricted cash paid to the Company under the Customer Agreements and for which the Company is liable to its customers are maintained on client digital wallets.
A detail of the sources of restricted cash, and the amount of program deposits, has been outlined in in note 23.
Cash
For presentation purposes in the consolidated statement of financial position and consolidated statement of cashflows, cash represents balances on hand in the Company’s operating accounts.
Impairment of non-financial assets
The Company assesses the carrying amount of non-financial assets including goodwill, property and equipment and intangible assets at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. The carrying amounts of the Company’s non-financial assets are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. Internal factors, such as budgets and forecasts, as well as external factors, such as expected future prices, costs and other market factors are also monitored to determine if indications of impairment exist. If any such indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. Goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually, regardless of whether an indicator of impairment exists.
The recoverable amount is the higher of value in use (being the net present value of expected pre-tax future cash flows of the relevant asset) and fair value less costs of disposal of the asset. The best evidence of fair value is a quoted price in an active market or a binding sale agreement for the same or similar asset. Where neither exists, fair value is based on the best information available to estimate the amount the Company could obtain from the sale of the asset in an arm’s length transaction. This is often accomplished by using a discounted cash flow technique.
Impairment is assessed at the cash-generating unit (CGU) level. A CGU is the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or group of assets.
An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of CGU exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. The Company derecognizes the carrying amount of assets on disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use. Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized but are tested for impairment annually at the cash-generating unit level.
If, after the Company has previously recognized an impairment loss, circumstances indicate that the fair value of the impaired assets is greater than the carrying amount, the Company reverses the impairment loss by the amount the revised fair value exceeds its’ carrying amount, to a maximum of the previous impairment loss. In no case shall the revised carrying amount exceed the original carrying amount, after depreciation or amortization, that would have been determined if no impairment loss had been recognized. An impairment loss or a reversal of an impairment loss is recognized in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss. An impairment loss for goodwill is not reversed in a subsequent period.
Income (Loss) per share
Basic income (loss) per share amounts is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income (loss) per share is calculated using the treasury method, which assumes that all outstanding stock option grants and warrants are exercised, if dilutive, and the assumed proceeds are used to purchase the Company’s common shares at the average market price during the period. As at December 31, 2023 and 2022, all convertible instruments are anti-dilutive.

Income taxes
Income tax comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity or other comprehensive income, in which case the income tax is also recognized directly in equity or other comprehensive income.
Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted at the end of the reporting period, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. Current tax assets and current tax liabilities are only offset if a legally enforceable right exists to offset the amounts, and the Company intends to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Deferred tax is recognized in respect of all qualifying temporary differences arising between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the audited consolidated financial statements. Deferred income tax is determined on a non-discounted basis using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period and are expected to apply when the deferred tax asset or liability is settled. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that the assets can be recovered. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset tax assets and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority.
Recognition of deferred tax assets for unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences is restricted to those instances where it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the deferred tax asset can be utilized. At the end of each reporting year, the Company reassesses unrecognized deferred tax assets.
Revenue Recognition
IFRS 15 establishes a comprehensive framework for determining whether, how much and when revenue is recognized. The standard contains a single model that applies to contracts with customers and two approaches to recognizing revenue: at a point in time or over time. The model features a contract-based five-step analysis of transactions to determine whether, how much and when revenue is recognized as follows:
-
Identify the contract with a customer,
-
Identify the performance obligations in the contract,
-
Determine the transaction price, which is the total consideration provided by the customer,
-
Allocate the transaction price among the performance obligations in the contract based on their relative fair values, and
-
Recognize revenue when the relevant criteria are met for each performance obligation.
The Company recognizes revenue at the time persuasive evidence of an agreement exists, price is fixed and determinable, the delivery has occurred, and collectability is reasonably assured. Fees charged for card program, website and card design are recognized when services are performed or when the product is transferred to the customer.
Costs incurred to obtain contracts, i.e. commissions paid to a third party in relation to signed customer contracts, are recognized in the profit and loss statement as a reduction to revenue if the commission is tied to the term of the contract, and as a cost of sales if the commission is a single payment, or multiple payments not tied to the contract duration. Commissions in both cases are recognized as incurred based on the underlying agreement with the third party.
The Company’s revenue streams consist of:
12
XTM Inc.
Notes to the audited consolidated financial statements For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022
Transaction revenue
Financial service fees resulting from transactions entered into by clients and cardholders for their direct benefit. Interchange fees are charged to merchants accepting the cards for payment, while service fees are charged to either a cardholder or client depending on the nature of the underlying transaction. Financial service fees are recognized on the transaction date.
i. Interchange Revenue:
Revenue is recognized, as per terms of the contract, at the point-in-time that the card holder executes a point of sale (“POS”) transaction using their card in the form of interchange fees. Interchange fees are earned when a transaction is successfully completed (i.e. authorization, batching and clearing, and settlement/funding). Interchange is a fee paid by a merchant bank to the card-issuing bank through the interchange network and are set by the network based on cardholder purchase volumes.
ii. Service Fees:
Card holder
A service fee is charged to the card holder, as per terms of the contract, at the point-in-time the cardholder executes various transfer of funds transactions using their card, including but not limited to: ATM withdrawals, Interac transfers, and ACH deposits. This fee is recognized as revenue when the funds are transferred.
Client
A service fee is charged to the client at the time the client engages the Company to execute various transactions at their request, or when the client executes a transaction through their own means (actively or passively) to which a fee pertains. This includes but is not limited to Instant self-deposit, NSF fees, wallet withdrawal fees, and expedited wallet load fees. This fee is recognized as revenue at the point in time when the particular activity occurs.
iii. Recognition:
The Company recognizes fees charged for transaction revenue on a gross basis when the Company is the principal with respect to completing payment transactions. As the principal to these transactions, the Company is primarily responsible for the service of completing payments using the Company’s financial technology platform. The Company contracts directly with its clients (users of its’ AnyDay™ Financial platform) and is responsible for fulfillment of the payment service, design and control the product specifications (including the Company’s mobile application) and defines the value proposition from its services. The Company has discretion in determining the fee charged to its customers for using the Company’s payment services and is primarily responsible for credit losses resulting from any potential failure to deliver promised service, exposing the Company to significant margin risk, especially where the Company engages payment processors and other financial institutions to perform services on the Company’s behalf. Fees paid to payment processors and other financial institutions are recognized as a fulfillment cost within the cost of sales. The Company is also responsible for providing customer support, for which the Company may engage third parties to perform on its behalf and recognizes this as a fulfillment cost.
Program Management

XTM Inc.
Notes to the audited consolidated financial statements For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022
The Company’s digital ledger and associated mobile application are highly customizable, enabling it to deliver bespoke financial solutions and / or customized branding for clients. The Company is able to charge clients who require customizations a fee (recurring and / or one-time) depending on the level of work and ongoing support required.
A client may desire customization of the Company’s software or physical cards in which case the Company and client enter into an agreement to deliver such requirements, or a client may select a contract term that includes fees charged for on-boarding of client on to the Company’s services. Fees charged for card program set-up / on-boarding, website and card design, and mobile app customizations are recognized when services are performed satisfying the obligations set out in the contract or associated statement of work (“SOW”), or when the product is transferred to the customer where defined obligations in a contract or SOW does not exist.
A client may require customizations to the execution of the Company’s services such that extensive customization via unique workflows and support are required (“changes”). In this circumstance the Company will assess the cost associated with the changes, determine the appropriate mark-up, and enter into an agreement to deliver such services at an agreed upon fee. These fees are earned so long as the client has access to / utilization of Company technology per the terms of the agreement and is charged at the frequency outlined in the agreement, or monthly in arrears if no term is specified. If the term outlined in the agreement exceeds one month, the fees are amortized and accrued monthly.
Card revenue
A card sale is comprised of two distinct but related components, 1) amounts invoiced to clients for the purchase of inactivated pre-paid debit cards, and 2) shipping fees for order fulfillment.
Revenue is recognized over the life of the customer contract, which will range from 1 to 3 years in length. Card quantities are determined by the client at the time of ordering, and card pricing is set based on either the client contract, or the most recently published price which is distributed to client at least 30 days in advance. Cards are assigned to the client during the order preparation process and card proxy numbers are provided to the client at the time of shipping allowing client to set up and transfer funds to card holders prior to the physical card being present. The Company is responsible for selecting the method of delivery.
Financial instruments
(a) Classification
Under IFRS 9, financial assets are classified and measured based on the business model in which they are held and the characteristics of their contractual cash flows. The primary measurement categories for financial instruments are measured at amortized cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVTOCI”) and fair value through profit and loss (“FVTPL”).
The accounting policy and the classification and measurement basis of the financial instruments as disclosed in the audited consolidated financial statements are:
| Financial Instrument | Classification /Measurement |
|---|---|
| Cash | Amortized cost |
| Client and cardholder funds- Restricted cash | Amortized cost |
| Trade and other receivables | Amortized cost |
| Due from related party | Amortized cost |

XTM Inc. Notes to the audited consolidated financial statements For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022
Trade and other payables Amortized cost Client and cardholder funds- deposits Amortized cost Due to related party Amortized cost Government loan Amortized cost Convertible debentures Amortized cost
(b) Measurement
Financial assets and liabilities at amortized cost
Financial assets and liabilities at amortized cost are initially recognized at fair value plus or minus transaction costs, respectively, and subsequently carried at amortized cost less any impairment.
Financial assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest are measured at amortized cost, less any impairment. The Company’s intent is to hold these receivables until cash flows are collected.
Financial liabilities are measured initially at fair value net of transaction costs, and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, unless required to be measured at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL), or the Company has opted to measure at FVTPL.
Impairment of financial assets
The Company assesses, at the end of each reporting period, whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired and impairment losses are incurred only if there is objective evidence of impairment from one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (a ‘loss event’) and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated.
a) Trade and Other Receivables
The amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced and the amount of the loss is recognized in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss. If a loan or held-to-maturity investment has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate determined under the contract. As a practical expedient, the group may measure impairment on the basis of an instrument’s fair value using an observable market price.
b) Expected credit loss impairment model
The Company evaluates the credit risk of financial assets at the initial recognition and at each reporting period thereafter until it is derecognized. For a financial asset this is determined to have low credit risk at the reporting date and that has not had significant increases in credit risk since initial recognition, the Company measures impairment loss based on the expected credit losses expected to be recognized over the next twelve months. For other financial assets, the Company will measure an impairment loss based on the lifetime expected credit losses. Certain assets such as Trade and Other Receivables without significant financing components must always be recorded at lifetime expected credit losses. Lifetime expected credit losses are estimates of possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument and are evaluated by the Company using historical credit losses. Twelve month expected credit losses are estimates of all possible default events within twelve months of the reporting date or over the expected life of the

financial instrument, which ever is shorter. Financial assets that are significant in value are assessed individually.
The carrying amount of a financial asset is written off (either partially or in full) to the extent that there is no realistic prospect of recovery. This is generally the case when the Company determines that the debtor does not have the assets or sources of income that could generate sufficient cash flows to repay the amounts subject to write-off.
If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized (such as an improvement in the debtor’s credit rating), the reversal of the previously recognized impairment loss is recognized in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss.
Compound financial instruments
Convertible debentures comprise of multiple embedded features and as a result are compound financial instruments. The various components of these instruments are accounted for as financial assets, in equity, debt and other financial liabilities according to their classification. The debt component is valued at issuance at the present value (taking into account the credit risk of the Company) of the future cash flows of an instrument with the same characteristics (maturity, cash flows, security) but without any option for conversion or redemption in shares. The component classified as equity is defined as the residual of the net proceeds from the issuance of the instrument less the fair value of the financial liability component. The inclusion of other financial instruments, such as warrants and broker warrants, are accounted according to their classification. Broker warrants are treated as an issuance cost and reduced in the determination of net proceeds. Warrants issued necessitate the use of a calibration method to determine the appropriate fair value allocated to the warrants and convertible debentures.
Share-based compensation
The Company has stock option and restricted share unit (“RSU”) plans that are described in note 15. The granting of stock options and / or RSU’s represents a benefit given to employees of the Company, which include others providing similar services, and non-employees and constitutes additional compensation to be borne by the Company.
a) Restricted share units (RSUs):
RSUs are issued to directors, employees and/or consultants through a vesting plan and distribution schedule and such other conditions as determined by the Company. An amount equivalent to the grant date fair market value of RSUs is recognized as share-based compensation expense with a corresponding increase to contributed surplus over the vesting period. Subject to the terms of the plan, within thirty (30) days after each relevant vesting date, but in no event later than the expiry date, the participant (a director, an employee or consultant, as the case maybe), shall be entitled to receive the equivalent number of class A common shares (“common shares” or “shares”). Upon complete vesting of equity-settled RSUs, the related contributed surplus associated with the RSUs is reclassified into share capital.
b) Stock options and warrants:
The fair value of stock option awards granted is recognized as share-based compensation expense with a corresponding increase in contributed surplus. An individual is classified as an employee when the individual is an employee for legal or tax purposes (direct employee) or provides services similar to those performed by a direct employee.
Warrants granted are recognized as share-based compensation when they are provided in exchange for

services and are deferred and amortized over the term of the debt instrument through finance costs when they are granted on account of debt financing. On the grant date, there is a corresponding increase in contributed surplus and warrant reserve.
Each tranche in an award is considered a separate award with its own vesting period and grant date fair value. The fair value is measured at grant date and each tranche is recognized on a graded vesting basis over the period during which the instrument vests. The fair value of the share-based payment awards granted is measured using the Black-Scholes option pricing model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the awards were granted. At each statement of financial position reporting date, the amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the actual number of awards, for which the related service is expected to be met. Share-based compensation expense is not adjusted for forfeitures that occur after the vesting date. Cancellation or forfeited options are removed from the associated tranche and returned to the pool of Shares available for options under the Company’s Stock Option Plan. The Company does not reverse any previously recognized share-based compensation associated with cancelled or forfeited options.
For equity-settled share-based payment transactions with non-employees, the Company measures the goods or services received, and the corresponding increase in equity, directly, at the fair value of the goods or services received, unless that fair value cannot be estimated reliably, in which case, the Company measures their value, and the corresponding increase in equity, indirectly, by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments granted. The Company records option forfeitures, resulting from terminations, as a share-based compensation recovery equal to the vesting expenditure expensed up to and including the termination date.
Government grants
Government grants are assistance from the government in the form of transfer of resources for past or future compliance with certain conditions relating to the operating activities of the Company. The Company recognizing government grants when there is a reasonable assurance that it will comply with the conditions required to qualify for the grant, and that the grant will be received. The government grants are recorded as “Other income”.
Leases
IFRS 16 requires leases to be recognized on the statement of financial position as a right-of-use asset and as a corresponding lease liability at the date at which the leased asset is available for use by the Company. Each lease payment is then to be allocated between the lease liability and finance cost, with the finance cost charged to comprehensive loss over the lease period to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the lease liability for each period. The right-of-use asset is to be depreciated over the shorter of the asset’s useful life and the lease term on a straight-line basis. Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are to be initially measured on a present value basis. Lease liabilities include the net present value of fixed lease payments discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If that rate cannot be determined, the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate is to be used, being the rate that the lessee would have to pay to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value in a similar economic environment with similar terms and conditions. After initial measurement, the liability would be reduced for payments made and increased for interest and remeasured to reflect any reassessment or modifications, or if there are changes in in-substance fixed payments. When the lease liability is remeasured, the corresponding adjustment is to be reflected in the right-of-use asset, or comprehensive loss if the right-of-use asset is already reduced to zero. The right-of-use asset is recorded at the amount of the lease liability adjusted by the amount of any previously recognized prepaid or accrued lease payments related to that lease. Payments associated with short-term leases (12 months or less) and leases of low-value assets (less than USD $5,000) can continue to be recognized on a straight-line basis as an expense in comprehensive loss. In some cases, the fair value of the underlying asset or the initial direct costs of the lessor may not be available to the lessee in which case a lessee will default to using its incremental borrowing rate. This borrowing rate must reflect comparable characteristics to the lease (similar term, with a similar security, the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value to the ROU asset in a similar

For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022
economic environment). Instead of requiring a lessee to determine the incremental borrowing rate for every single lease, IFRS 16 allows a lessee to apply a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with reasonably similar characteristics. When measuring lease liabilities, the Company adopted the following practical expedients: the adoption of the portfolio methodology discounting lease payments using an incremental borrowing rate of 13%, and inclusion of non-lease components which consists of ancillary costs that are directly related to the lease.
Related Parties
A related party is defined as follows: (i) A person or a close member of that person’s family is related to the Company if that person: (i) Has control or joint control over the Company; (ii) Has significant influence over the Company; or (iii) Is a member of the key management personnel of the Group or Company or of a parent of the Company. (ii) An entity is related to the Group and the Company if any of the following conditions applies: (i) The entity and the Company are members of the same group (which means that each parent, subsidiary and fellow subsidiary is related to the others). (ii) One entity is an associate or joint venture of the other entity (or an associate or joint venture of a member of a group of which the other entity is a member). (iii) Both entities are joint ventures of the same third party. (iv) One entity is a joint venture of a third entity and the other entity is an associate of the third entity. (v) The entity is a post-employment benefit plan for the benefit of employees of either the Company or an entity related to the Company. If the Company is itself such a plan, the sponsoring employers are also related to the Company. (vi) The entity is controlled or jointly controlled by a person identified in (a). (vii) A person identified in (a)(i) has significant influence over the entity or is a member of the key management personnel of the entity (or of a parent of the entity).

4. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS
The preparation of these audited consolidated financial statements require management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the audited consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual outcomes could differ from these estimates. The audited consolidated financial statements include estimates which, by their nature, are uncertain. The impacts of such estimates are pervasive throughout the audited consolidated financial statements and may require accounting adjustments based on future occurrences. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised and the revision affects both current and future periods.
Significant assumptions about the future and other sources of estimation uncertainty that management has made at the consolidated statement of financial position date, that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities, in the event that actual results differ from assumptions made, relate to, but are not limited to, the following:
Going concern
The audited consolidated financial statements were prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The assessment of going concern involves significant judgement based on historical experience and other factors including expectation of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Revenue Recognition
Application of the accounting principals in IFRS related to the measurement and recognition of revenues requires the Company to make judgements and estimates. Complex arrangements may require significant contract interpretation to determine the appropriate accounting treatment. Specifically, the determination of whether the Company is a principal to a transaction (gross revenue) or an agent (net revenue) can require considerable judgement. There is significant judgement in assessing whether the Company controls the promised service before it is transferred to the customer, including assessing whether the Company was primarily responsible for fulfilling the service and whether the Company had full discretion in establishing the price for the service.
Income Taxes
Deferred tax assets, including those arising from tax loss carry-forwards, require management to assess the likelihood that the Company will generate sufficient taxable earnings in future periods in order to utilise recognised deferred tax assets.
Assumptions about the generation of future taxable profits depend on management’s estimates of future cash flows. In addition, future changes in tax laws could limit the ability of the Company to obtain tax deductions in future periods. To the extent that future cash flows and taxable income differ significantly from estimates, the ability of the Company to realise the net deferred tax assets recorded at the reporting date could be impacted.

XTM Inc.
Notes to the audited consolidated financial statements For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022
Assessment of Cash Generating Unit (“CGU”)
The Company has applied judgment in its assessment of the appropriateness of the determination of CGU. The identification of CGU required significant judgment as it depends on the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates largely independent cash inflows. When management has identified a group of assets that generates an output, but those assets do not generate largely independent cash inflows, it needs to consider if there is an active market for the output. Changes in the Company’s operations and the way it conducts them could significantly impact the assessment of CGU. Management is required to use its judgment to combine these assets with others that contribute to the same revenue stream until a CGU is identified.
Functional currency
Certain factors need to be considered in determining the functional currency of an entity. Once the foreign entities have been identified, the Company is required to determine the currency of primary economic environment in which each foreign entity operates. An entity is required to use significant judgment in making this determination. When the indicators are mixed and the functional currency is not obvious, management uses its judgment to determine the functional currency that most faithfully represents the economic effects of the underlying transactions, events and conditions. Once determined, the functional currency is not changed unless there is a change in those underlying transactions, events and conditions.
Impairment
Management assesses impairment of non-financial assets such as goodwill, intangible assets and property and equipment. In assessing impairment, management estimates the recoverable amount of each asset or cash generating unit (“CGU”) based on expected future cash flows.
Goodwill is subject to impairment testing on an annual basis. The Company performed its annual assessment of goodwill impairment as at December 31, 2023. However, if indicators of impairment are present, the Company will review goodwill for impairment when such indicators arise. In addition, at each reporting period, the Company reviews whether there are any indicators that the recoverable amount of intangible assets and property and equipment may be less than their carrying amount.
Goodwill, intangible assets and property and equipment were reviewed for impairment by determining the recoverable amount of each CGU or groups of CGUs to which the goodwill, intangible assets or property and equipment relate. Management estimated the recoverable amount of the CGUs based on the higher of value-in-use (“VIU”) and fair value less costs of disposal (“FVLCD”). The VIU calculations are based on expected future cash flows. When measuring expected future cash flows, management makes key assumptions about future growth of profits which relate to future events and circumstances. Estimation uncertainty relates to assumptions about future operating results and the application of an appropriate discount rate. Actual results could vary from these estimates.
Allowances for expected credit losses
The Company is exposed to credit risk associated with its “Trade and other receivables”, and "Due from related party” balances. Management reviews the trade and other receivables at recognition and at each reporting date there after in accordance with IFRS 9, until it is derecognized. The expected credit loss (“ECL”) model requires considerable judgment, including consideration of how changes in economic factors affect ECLs, which are determined on a probability-weighted basis. IFRS 9 outlines a three-stage approach to recognizing ECLs which is intended to reflect the increase in credit risks of a financial instrument based on 1) 12-month expected credit losses or 2) lifetime expected credit losses. The Company measures provision for ECLs at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs. The Company applies the simplified approach to determine ECLs on trade and other receivables by using a provision matrix based on
20
XTM Inc.
Notes to the audited consolidated financial statements For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022
historical credit loss experiences. The historical results are used to calculate the run rates of default which are then applied over the expected life of the trade receivables, adjusted for forward looking estimates.
Business combinations
Estimates and judgments are used when calculating the purchase price allocation to the fair value of acquired net assets (specifically to the acquired intangible technology assets) in business combinations. The Company estimates the fair value of technology and brands acquired in a business combination based on the income approach. The income approach is a valuation technique that calculates the fair value of an intangible asset based on the present value of future cash flows that the asset can be expected to generate over its remaining useful life. For significant business combinations, significant estimates and judgments include forecasted cashflows, forecasted annual customer growth rate, migration rate, retention rate and the discount rates used to estimate the fair value of the acquired intangible assets. Changes in these estimates and judgments could result in significant changes to the valuation of the intangible assets.
Convertible debentures
Convertible debentures are compound financial instruments whose components may be allocated between a financial liability and an equity instrument. The identification of such components embedded within a convertible debenture requires significant judgement based on the interpretation of the substance in the contractual arrangement(s). Where the conversion option is fixed, the financial liability represents the discounted future obligation to repay the cash component and is initially measured at fair value with subsequent measurement at amortized cost. The conversion option and any related warrants are initially measured at fair value and reported separately as equity. Prepayment options are initially measured at fair value and reported as a derivative asset. The allocation and valuation methodology used for these instruments are calculated using the Partial Differential Equations (“PDE”) method solved by finite difference method, which values financial instruments whereby a set of differential equations are solved iteratively. In the context of financial option pricing, this approach uses random numbers, together with various market assumptions (i.e. risk free rate, expected volatility, correlation, etc.) to generate potential future outcomes for stock prices using Geometric Brownian Motion (“GBM”). GBM is an industry standard method that is generally accepted for simulating the expected future path of stock prices.
Subsequent to initial recognition, the liability component of a compound financial instrument is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The equity component of a compound financial instrument and any derivative asset or liability is not re-measured after initial recognition. On conversion or upon expiration, the carrying value of the equity portion is transferred to common shares or contributed surplus.
Share-based payments
The fair value of all share-based payments granted are determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model which incorporates assumptions regarding risk-free interest rates, dividend yield, expected volatility, estimated forfeitures, and the expected life of the options. Changes in the input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate and the Company’s earnings and equity reserves.
Application of IFRS 16
The Company applies judgment in determining whether a contract contains an identified asset, whether the Company has the right to control the asset, and the lease term. Lease term reflects the period over which the lease payments are reasonably certain including renewal options that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise. The determination of lease term involves significant judgment with respect to assumptions of whether lease extensions will be utilized. Management makes assumptions about long-term industry outlook and store operating performances and growth which relate to future events and circumstances. Actual results could vary from these assumptions and

the differences could be material to the carrying value of the lease liabilities and right-of-use assets, for which the lease term is the basis for determining useful life.

5. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
On August 18, 2023, the Company acquired 100% of the issued share capital of QRails Inc. (“QRails”), a company incorporated and based in the United States that operates within the payments segment. The objective of the acquisition is to expand the Company’s service offerings and accelerate its expansion into the United States. The details of the business combination are as follows:
| As at August 18, 2023 | |
|---|---|
| Fair value of consideration transferred | |
| Cash | $ 135,520 |
| Interim funding of QRails’ operations | 4,609,117 |
| Shares issued | 4,222,405 |
| Total consideration transferred | $ 8,967,042 |
| Recognized amounts of identifiable net assets | |

| Unearned revenue | 9,938 |
| Currentportion of lease liabilities | 14,951 |
| Total current liabilities | 3,398,815 |
| Long-termportion of lease liabilities | 325,209 |
| Total non-current liabilities | 325,209 |
| Identifiable net assets | $6,759,423 |
| Goodwill on acquisition | $2,207,619 |
Goodwill
The goodwill that arose on the combination can be attributed to the synergies expected to be derived from the combination and the value of the workforce of QRails which cannot be recognized as an intangible asset. Goodwill has been provisionally allocated to cash-generating units at August 18, 2023. The goodwill that arose from this business combination is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

QRails’ contribution to the Company’s results
From the date of the acquisition to December 31, 2023, QRails contributed $158,885 to the Company’s consolidated net revenues and a total of $4,743,764 to the Company’s consolidated net loss. The Company estimates that proforma consolidated net revenue and pro-forma consolidated net loss would have been $6,959,749 and ($26,368,112) for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to the actual amounts reported in the consolidated statement of income. In determining these amounts, the Company has assumed that the fair values of the net assets acquired that were estimated and accounted for on the date of acquisition would have been the same as if the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2023. The net income from the acquisition includes the associated amortization of acquired intangible assets recognized as if the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2023.
6. GOODWILL
The Company has determined that it has two CGUs comprised of 1) XTM Inc. and 2) QRails. The Company completed its annual goodwill impairment testing on December 31, 2023 and determined that goodwill amounts were not impaired.
The XTM Inc. CGU was based on a discounted cash flow model utilizing an estimate revenue growth range of 4% to 81% through 2028 (2022 – 50% to 153%), long-term growth rate of 3.0% (2022 – 3.0%) and an after tax weighted average cost of capital of 28.4% (2022 – 25.8%).
The QRails CGU was based on a discounted cash flow model utilizing an estimate revenue growth range of 3% to 173%, long-term growth rate of 3.0% and an after tax weighted average cost of capital of 25.2%
The cash flow projections used in estimating the recoverable amounts are generally consistent with results achieved historically adjusted for anticipated growth. The Company believes that any reasonably possible change in key assumptions on which the recoverable amounts were based would not cause the aggregate carrying amount to exceed the aggregate recoverable amount of the CGU. Goodwill by CGU is as follows:
| As at December 31, | As at December 31, | |
|---|---|---|

19. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
In the ordinary course of operating, the Company may from time to time be subject to various claims or possible claims. Management believes that there are no claims or possible claims that if resolved would either individually or collectively result in a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. These matters are inherently uncertain, and management’s view of these matters may change in the future.
20. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT
The fair value of cash, trade and other receivables, government loans, due from related party, trade and other payables, and due to related party approximate their carrying values due to the relatively short-term nature of these financial instruments. The carrying value of the government loan approximates its fair value as the interest rates are consistent with the current rates offered to the Company for loans with similar terms.
The Company’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company’s overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Company.
The Company uses various methods to measure different types of risk to which it is exposed. These methods include sensitivity analysis in the case of interest rate and other price risks.
(a) Market risk
(i) Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company does not have any financial instrument subject to floating interest rates; therefore, interest rate risk is considered low.
(ii) Currency risk
Currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. As at December 31, 2023, the Company had the following balances denominated in US dollars: Cash of $66,537 (December 31, 2022 - $175,413), restricted cash of $675,562 (December 31, 2022 – nil), trade and other receivables, including restricted, of $498,283 (December 31, 2022 - $60,909) and trade and other payables of $2,415,565 (December 31, 2022 - $396,780). As at December 31, 2023, a 10% depreciation or appreciation of the U.S. dollar against the Canadian dollar would result in an approximate $155,430 increase or decrease, respectively, in net loss and comprehensive loss.
The Company also had the following balances denominated in GBP as at December 31, 2023: trade and other payables of £182,977 (December 31, 2022 – nil). As at December 31, 2023, a 10% depreciation or appreciation of the
37
XTM Inc.
Notes to the audited consolidated financial statements For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022
U.S. dollar against the Canadian dollar would result in an approximate $30,808 increase or decrease, respectively, in net loss and comprehensive loss.
(iii) Other price risks
Other price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices (other than those arising from interest rate risk or currency risk), whether those changes are caused by factors specific to the individual financial instrument or its issuer, or factors affecting all similar financial instruments traded in the market. The Company is not exposed to other price risk.
(b) Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Company. The Company has adopted a policy of dealing with credit-worthy counterparties. The Company’s exposure and credit ratings of counterparties is continuously monitored. The Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk for its trade receivables is summarized as follows:
| December 31, 2023 | December 31, 2022 | |
|---|---|---|
| $ | $ | |
| Trade receivables aging: | ||
| 0-30 days | 447,308 | 365,489 |
| 31-90 days | 23,960 | 35,121 |
| Greater than 90 days | 58,836 | 283 |
| 530,104 | 400,893 | |
| Provision for expected credit losses | (67,017) | (5,148) |
| Net trade receivables | 463,087 | 395,745 |
| Other Receivables | 40,283 | 183,584 |
| Net trade and other receivables | 503,370 | 579,329 |
| Receivables - Restricted | 658,271 | 171,729 |
| Total Receivables | 1,161,641 | 751,058 |
The Company recognizes a restricted receivable for earned wage access advances to client employees, which is paid back when client settles payroll. On average, the duration of these advances is 10 days. The Company recognizes a restricted receivable when temporary deficiencies arise between the Cash – Restricted asset balances and Program Deposits liabilities. These deficiencies can occur due to fraud credits being issued to cardholders in advance of reimbursement by the network (Visa or Mastercard) to the Company, and temporary client overdrafts stemming from funding transaction failures. The Company considers restricted receivables low risk due to the counter parties involved and therefore does not apply an expected loss provision.
The Company applies the simplified approach to provide for expected credit losses as prescribed by IFRS 9, which permits the use of the lifetime expected loss provision for all trade and other receivables. The expected credit loss provision is based on the Company’s historical collections and loss experience and incorporates forward-looking factors, where appropriate.
All the Company’s cash is held with major Canadian or US financial institutions and thus the exposure to credit risk is considered insignificant. Management actively monitors the Company’s exposure to credit risk under its financial instruments, including with respect to trade and other receivables.

Notes to the audited consolidated financial statements For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022
(c) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its obligations associated with financial liabilities. The Company has a planning and budgeting process in place by which it anticipates and determines the funds required to support its normal operating requirements. The Company coordinates this planning and budgeting process with its financing activities through its capital management process.
The Company’s approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it will have sufficient funds to meet liabilities as they come due and to execute on its business plan. The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash reserves and loan facilities, financings such as convertible debentures, and by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows. At December 31, 2023, the Company had a cash balance of $94,096 (December 31, 2022 - $2,687,626).
Maturity analysis of liabilities which are due in next twelve months can be summarized as follows:

The Company's capital management is designed to ensure that it has sufficient financial flexibility both in the short and long-term to support its financial obligations and the future development of the business.
The Company manages its capital with the following objectives:
-
a) Ensure sufficient liquidity is available to support financial obligations and to execute its operating strategic plans; b) Maintaining financial capacity and flexibility through access to capital to develop the future of the business; c) Minimizing its cost of capital and considering all industry, market and economic risks and conditions; d) Utilizing short term funding sources to manage its working capital requirements; and

During the year ended December 31, 2023, certain funds from restricted cash were used by XTM for operating and program management amounting to $4,931,134 (December 31, 2022 – nil).
There was a deficit of $7,929,411 as at December 31, 2023 (December 31, 2022 - $1,251,391). The use of restricted cash for XTM’s operating and program management purposes constitutes a breach of contract under the Customer Agreements. Where funds were used by XTM for operating and program management purposes, such amounts remained a liability of XTM and were reflected as a program deposit on the financial statements but was not reported as restricted cash or otherwise as an asset. The total estimated potential liability to the Company is currently estimated at $7,984,962.
For the US operations, the Company holds trust assets in the form of restricted cash totaling $789,970 (December 31, 2022 – nil) and these assets do not offset the Canadian deficit.

29. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Company had the following material subsequent events occur after the reporting period, but prior to the finalization of the audited consolidated financial statements:
On February 6, 2024, the Company announced that it completed non-brokered private placement offering for convertible debentures, previously announced and revised on December 18, 2023, for aggregate gross proceeds of US$5,579,282, net of commissions of US$114,720 and oversubscribed from the original maximum offering size of US$5,000,000. Broker warrants with a fair value of US$6,113 were also issued. The debentures were issued at a par value of U$1,000, at a rate of 12% per annum from the date of issuance with a maturity date 24 months from issuance date. Each Debenture shall be convertible at the option of the holder thereof into units (“Units”) of the Company at a price of US$0.11 per Unit. Each Unit shall entitle the holder thereof to receive one common share in the capital of the Company (“Common Shares”), for no additional compensation, and one warrant to purchase a Common Share upon payment of US$0.11 to the Company.
On February 16[th] , 2024, a portion of convertible debtholders elected to rollover their debentures to new convertible debentures offered under the new terms of the Q1 2024 offering; however, a portion of the debenture holders did not exercise this right. For the debentures rolled over, it was determined that since the fair value changed by greater than 10%, the original debentures are to be treated as an extinguishment and a gain or loss recognized. The remaining original debentures would continue to be accounted for in the same manner. The new debentures were included in the Q1 2024 Tranche 2 amount below.
The closing occurred in 3 tranches as shown in the summary below in Canadian dollars.
