CORPORATE OVERVIEW
The Company’s main business is as a fintech innovator disseminating earned wages, gratuities, and expense reimbursements to workers primarily in the hospitality, personal care, and food delivery space, but as of late entering new verticals that can also benefit from its solution. XTM is the originator of the Today™ program, a bespoke software solution specifically designed for restaurateurs, personal care service providers, food delivery operators, and other establishments with a similar need to provide staff with funds in near real-time. It is comprised of a Today wallet accessible via the internet or by a free mobile app, and a companion Visa or Mastercard debit card with free banking features. Currently the solution is used by thousands of locations and their staff across Canada, and is now entering the United States.
The head office, principal address, and registered office of the Company is located at 67 Mowat Avenue, Suite 437, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M6K 3E3 and the United States office is located at 1221 Brickell Ave Suite 900 Miami, FL. 33310.
During the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, there was a global outbreak of COVID-19, which has had a significant impact on businesses through the restrictions put in place by the Canadian federal, provincial, and municipal governments regarding travel, business operations and isolation/quarantine orders. The start of the Russia/Ukraine War and ensuing global uncertainty especially as it relates to financial markets resulted on June 13, 2022, the MSCI ACWI index, which tracks stock prices from both emerging and developed markets, officially slipping into a bear market, falling 21% from a mid-November peak. It is not possible to reliably estimate the length and severity that the bear market will have on the financial results and condition of the Company in future periods.
RECENT EVENTS
The following notable events occurred after the period covered by the Company’s June 30, 2023 unaudited consolidated financial statements and MD&A:

On August 18, 2023, the Company completed its transaction (the “Purchase Agreement”) to acquire (the “Transaction”) all the issued and outstanding securities of QRails Inc. (“QRails”). The securities of QRails will be acquired from its current shareholders (the “Sellers”) for total consideration of US$3,500,000, consisting of US$100,000 in cash with the remaining US$3,400,000 to be paid through the issuance of common shares.
-
The Company is finalizing a USD $30M to $90M Debt Facility for Earned Wage Access (“EWA”) lending. This will represent one of the largest debt facility for EWA lending in North America, and will allow the Company to rapidly scale its EWA product. The Company expects to close on the facility in Q3 2023.
-
With the completion of the QRails acquisition, the Company was featured as a contender in the disruptive payroll and EWA space in FT Partners “Innovations and Payroll Human Capital Management, August 2023 Report”
HIGHLIGHTS FOR Q2 2023
The Company views the revenue, increased active user base, and GDV achievements as a clear sign of continued positive momentum in the hospitality space even though economic headwinds are putting a strain on consumer discretionary spend. Revenue of $1.6MM in Q2 2023 was the highest on record for the Company.
-
Gross dollar value (“GDV”) loads on the Company’s platform was $170.8MM for the quarter. This was the highest quarter in the Company’s brief history, surpassing $143.0MM in Q1 2023 and an increase of 47% from $116.5MM in Q2 2022;
-
To reflect the mix of full and part-time Today employees the Company is using a single member/user metric, “Total Active Users” (defined as a Today wallet holder with at least one transaction in the past 6 months). The Company’s Total Active User count was 119K as at the end of the Q2 2023 from 83K at the end of Q2 2022;
-
Revenue was $1.6MM for the quarter. Q2 2023 was the strongest quarter for revenue since the Company’s inception, increasing $333K or 26% compared to Q2 2022, and $191K or 13% compared to Q1 2023;
-
Gross Profit was $130K or 8% of revenue for the quarter; this compares to $297K or 23% of revenue for Q2 2022 with the lower percentage a result of one-time fees associated with the QRails transaction;
-
Operating expenses were $2,218K for the quarter. Q2 2023 saw an increase of 5% or $114K compared to $2,104K for Q2 2022 with the main driver being increase in professional fees to support the acquisition of QRails, offset by reduction in contract engineering resources and investor relations;
-
Net loss was $2,425K for the quarter. Current quarter net loss increased compared to a net loss of $1,871K for Q2 2022 mainly due to an increased focus on security, increases in fraud monitoring and cyber protection;

-
Cash totaled $0.4MM as at June 30, 2023, down $0.7MM from Q1 2023’s total of $1.1MM. The reduction is mainly due to the Company funding operations of QRails, and investments into new products including platform improvements to support new verticals, Earned Wage Access (EWA) and Tip and Gratuity allocation and distribution solution.
-

SUMMARY OF ANNUAL RESULTS
KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS AND NON-IFRS MEASURES
The key performance indicators (“KPI’s”) and non-IFRS measures for the Company are gross dollar value load (“GDV”), Current Active Users, and Total Active Users. The Company’s success will be measured by its growth in revenue from one reporting period to the next and is directly a result of increased dollar value transacted through its platform. Revenue growth is dependent on the Company continuing to sign on new hospitality locations, increase the percentage of GDV used for POS transactions, and the addition of new products to enhance current programs.

ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
NET LOSS AND COMPREHENSIVE LOSS
Net loss and comprehensive loss for Q2 2023 was $2,408K compared to a net loss and comprehensive loss of $1,877K for Q2 2022. The increased loss of $531K is attributed to increased cardholder fraud activity resulting in higher transaction monitoring and cardholder support costs, leading to an increase in cost of sales of $273K. The Company also incurred $117K of financing costs and $104K foreign exchange loss related to the acquisition of QRails.
REVENUE AND GROSS PROFIT
Gross Dollar Value (“GDV”) of $170.8MM for Q2 2023 increased by $54.3MM or 47% from $116.5MM for the prior year quarter. The increase is a result of significant growth in the number of clients and associated active users added to the Today program over the preceding 12 months coupled with the complete removal of COVID-19 restrictions in the hospitality sector; the latter resulting in higher foot traffic which in turn yielded higher GDV per client and active user.
Revenue for Q2 2023 totaled $1,619K, an increase of $333K or 26% from $1,286K for the prior year quarter. Of the Company’s three revenue streams, Transaction revenue was the main driver, increasing by $490K, while Card revenue decreased by $148K; Subscription revenue increased by $11K, and Program management revenue was down $21K.
Transaction revenue which consists of interchange resulting from point of sale transactions (“POS”), out of network ATM withdrawal fees, and electronic transfer fee’s, totaled $1,464K for Q2 2023, an increase of $490K or 50% from $973K for the prior year quarter. The increase is due to higher GDV loaded on the Company’s Today Financial platform and the associated transaction growth as cardholders move funds off their mobile wallets. This growth resulted from the Company growing its active user count by 50%, going from 58K at the end Q2 2022 to 79K at the end of Q2 2023.
Card issuance revenue which consists of revenue from the purchase and shipping of Today Financial debit cards to the clients for use by their employees totaled $103K for Q2 2023, a decrease of $149K from $251K for the prior year quarter. The Company changed the recognition card revenue over the remaining life of the customer contract, on a comparative basis, Card revenue increased 5% or $12K resulting from the increase in average card selling price from $7.48 to $8.48 per card. The Company’s main vertical is hospitality which has a high annual staffing turnover rate; as cards are tied to individuals and therefore are not transferable, card sales to existing clients create recurring demand (cards for new employees and replacement cards for existing) which is a material component of overall card purchases.
Subscription revenue which consists of revenue charged to businesses for use of the Today Financial product to enable real-time payment of earned wages and gratuities. Starting in Q2 2023, the Company
7
X T M I N C .
Management Discussion and Analysis For the periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022
introduced this new revenue stream to expand beyond interchange and cardholder fees, and increase its average revenue per user.
Program Management revenue which consists of licensing of the Company’s technology to adjacent markets and customized program fee’s, totaled $52K for Q2 2023, a decrease of $8K or 13% from $60K for the prior year quarter. The decrease is a result of the Company transitioning away from legacy bespoke programs in favour of continued development and support of the core business of gratuity and wage payments.
Gross Profit for Q2 2023 totaled $131K or 8% of revenue, is a decrease of $166K or 54% from $297K or 23% of revenue for the prior year quarter. The decrease in gross profit is due to increased spend on transaction monitoring cost associated with industry wide increase in card fraud pertaining to merchant processing transactions.
OPERATING EXPENSES
Total operating expenses for Q2 2023 were $2,218K, an increase of $114K or 5% from $2,104K in the prior year quarter. The main driver for the increase in professional fees for the QRails acquisition, offset by decrease in public company costs. Operating expenses of the company consist of:
Salaries and employee benefits were $1,197K for Q2 2023 compared to $943K for Q2 2022. The increase of $254K is primarily a result of increased staffing, from 32 at the end of Q2 2022 to 39 at the end of Q2 2023. The Company added additional resources to sales, client success, engineering, and product development in the latter half of 2022 and Q2 2023 to manage volume growth, increase the number of new products and time to market, and to actively diversify its client base by adding dedicated salespeople to verticals outside hospitality. The Company also experienced an increase in salaries in some positions in the quarter, the full impact of which will be realized in subsequent quarters.
Consulting fees were $95K in Q2 2023 compared to $421K for the prior year quarter. The decrease of $326K is due to a reduction in high cost contract labour in engineering, as the Company look to build the capability in-house. The Company reviews staffing requirements and reliance on contract labour quarterly, and adjusts based on labour market and projected workload requirements.
Professional fees were $408K for Q2 2023 compared to $207K for the prior year quarter. The increase of $201K is a result of increased legal fees associated with the QRails acquisition and increased audit costs, partially offset by a reduction in recruitment costs.
Stock based compensation was $43K for Q2 2023 compared to $2K for the prior year quarter.
Marketing and promotion expenses were $153K for Q2 2023 compared to $103K for the prior year quarter. The increase of $50K is due to increased spend on card holder communications (which is a function of a growing user count), partially offset by a reduction in marketing events and collateral.
Office and general expenses were $161K for Q2 2023 compared to $88K for the prior year quarter. The increase of $73K is mainly a result of program setup for Earned Wage Access in the USA of $67K.

Management Discussion and Analysis For the periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022
Public company and regulatory expenses were $90K for Q2 2023 compared to $259K for the prior year quarter. The decrease of $169K is entirely due a reduction in Investor Relation related spend pertaining to awareness and outreach activities.
Depreciation and amortization expenses were $47K for Q2 2023 compared to $49K for the prior year quarter, or largely flat year over year.
Bank charges, interest and accretion expenses were $11K for Q2 2023 compared to $9K for the prior year quarter. No significant change year over year
Travel, meals, and entertainment expenses were $12K for Q2 2023 compared to $22K for the prior year quarter, due to corporate reduction in discretionary spending

OTHER INCOME
Other expense for Q2 2023 was $338K compared to $64K for the prior year quarter. The increase of $274K is related to $117K worth of financing costs associated with the QRails acquisition, and $104K of foreign exchange losses versus the previous year.
ASSETS
Cash as at June 30, 2023 was $424K compared to $2,687K at December 31, 2022. The decrease of $2,263K is a result of the Company funding operating activities of QRails, offset by increased funding from its convertible debentures.
Trade and other receivables as at June 30, 2023 were $1,742K compared to $751K at December 31, 2022. The increase of $991K is mainly due to a $932K increase in fraud credits issued by the Company to cardholders in advance of the underlying card network providing reimbursement. The credits increased as a result of an industry wide increase in debit and credit card transaction related fraud activity in the Canadian market.
Prepaid expenses as at June 30, 2023 were $363K compared to $287K at December 31, 2022. The increase of $76K is due to a $100K prepayment made to a strategic partner for licencing of workforce management software offset partially by reduction to software subscriptions and insurance premium prepayments.
Contract asset as at June 30, 2023 was $486K compared to $247K at December 31, 2022. The increase of $239K is due to the Company deferring card costs over the remaining life of its customer contracts. In Q2, $148K of card costs were deferred to future periods, offset by $71K of costs amortized in the current period.
Notes receivable as at June 30, 2023 was $2,565K representing the total amount that funded the operating activities of QRails.
