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, 2021 and 2020, and the period ending September 30, 2022, 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. At this time, it is unknown the extent of the impact the COVID-19 outbreak may have on the Company as this will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and that cannot be predicted with confidence. These uncertainties arise from the inability to predict the ultimate geographic spread of the virus, and the duration of the outbreak, including the duration of travel restrictions, business closures or disruptions, and quarantine/isolation measures that are currently, or may be put in place by Canada and other countries to fight the virus. There is significant uncertainty as to the likely effects of this outbreak which may, among other things, impact our ability to raise further financing. The duration and impact of the COVID-19 outbreak is unknown at this time, as is the efficacy of the government and central bank interventions. It is not possible to reliably estimate the length and severity of these developments or quantify the impact this pandemic may 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 Q3 2022 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and MD&A:
-
On October 12, 2022, the Company held its inaugural Annual General Meeting where Shareholders voted to approve all matters brought before the Meeting including the setting of the number of directors at four, the election of all director nominees and the re-appointment of MNP LLP as auditors for the ensuing year.
-
On November 8, 2022, the Company held a webinar hosted with Restaurants Canada, an industry-leading non-profit association representing over 30,000 foodservice providers and James Rhodes, leading hospitality tax lawyer. The webinar was curated to provide strategic solutions for hospitality professionals to ensure restaurants are tax compliant on gratuity payouts. The webinar imparted important distinctions between direct versus controlled tips, with actionable solutions that restaurant owners can implement to ensure tip compliance. James Rhodes referenced XTM as the solution to support compliant payout best practices.
-
On November 15, 2022, the Company filed a “Notice of Change of Auditor” following the decision to change its auditor from MNP LLP (the “Former Auditor”) to RSM Canada LLP (the “Successor Auditor”). The Former Auditor submitted their resignation effective November 11[th] , 2022, and the Successor Auditor was appointed as the new auditors of the Corporation effective the same day. The change was a result of the Company undertaking and extensive RFP process with the dual objective of driving down cost while also maintaining or improving the audit process. In doing so, the Company was able to realize a significant reduction in Audit fee’s which will be realized in 2022 and subsequent fiscal periods.
HIGHLIGHTS FOR Q3 2022
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 consumer discretionary spend. Revenue of just under $1.5MM in Q3 2022 was a significant milestone and continues to be attained almost solely from the Canadian market. The Company also continues to have a strong balance sheet yielding adequate working capital to fund organic growth needs into fiscal 2023.
-
§ Gross dollar value (“GDV”) loaded on the Company’s platform was $137MM for the quarter and just under $324MM year to date. This was the highest quarter in the Company’s brief history, and an increase of 182% from $48.7MM for Q3 2021, and an increase of $21MM or 18% from Q2 2022;
-
§ Current Active users at the end of September 2022 (defined as wallet holders that completed a minimum of one transaction in a current month) on the Company’s Today platform totalled 64K, an increase just under 39K or 154% from 25K for Q3 2021, and an increase of 6K or 11% from Q2 2022. Total Active Users (defined as a Today wallet holder with at least one transaction in the past 6 months) increased to 87K at the end of Q3 2022 from just under 83K at the end of Q2 2022 (metric was not measured in the year ago quarter) ;
-
§ Revenue was $1,468K for the quarter while year to date revenue is $3,551K. Q3 2022 was the strongest quarter for revenue since the Company’s inception, increasing $607K or 70% compared to Q3 2021, and $182K or 14% compared to Q2 2022;

Q3 2022 saw a decrease of 22% or $84K compared to $390K or 45% of revenue for Q3 2021 due mainly to one-time high margin program management revenues being recognized in the year ago quarter;
-
§ Operating expenses were $2,199K for the quarter and $5,879K year to date. Q3 2022 saw an increase of 56% or $790K compared to $1,408K for Q3 2021 with the main driver being increase staffing, consulting fees, and public company and regulatory expenses to support the Company’s product and market expansion initiatives;
-
§ Net loss was $1,821K for the quarter and $5,216K year to date. Current quarter net loss increased compared to a net loss of $983K for Q3 2021 mainly due to investments in new technology, new hires to support growth, and expansion to new verticals;

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.
QUARTERLY RESULTS
The following table summarizes information derived from the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as well as KPI’s the Company uses to assess performance, for each of the eight most recently completed quarters:

ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
NET LOSS AND COMPREHENSIVE LOSS
Net loss and comprehensive loss for Q3 2022 was $1,821K compared to a net loss of $983K for Q3 2021. The increased loss of $790K is attributed to higher operating expenses, mainly in staffing (employees and subcontractors) and to a lesser extent “Consulting” and “Public company and regulatory”, as the Company continues its rapid expansion in Canada while also building out its infrastructure as it enters the US market. The Company expects operating expenses to remain at similar levels in the coming quarters as it continues to invest in development to bring new products and features to market, and as the US market becomes a larger part of its overall strategy. This will be partially offset by an increase in revenue and associated gross profit as new customers come on to the Today platform, resulting in a reduction in net and comprehensive losses in future quarters.

REVENUE AND GROSS PROFIT
Gross Dollar Value (“GDV”) of $137.3MM for Q3 2022 increased by $88.6MM or 182% from $48.7MM for Q3 2021. 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 Q3 2022 totaled $1,468K, an increase of $607K or 70% from $861K for Q3 2021. Of the Company’s three revenue streams, Transaction revenue was the main driver, increasing by $887K, while Card issuance revenue increased by $51K; Program management revenue was down $331K.
Transaction revenue which consists of interchange, out of network ATM fees, and transfer fee’s, totaled $1,207K for Q3 2022, an increase of $887K or 227% from $320K for Q3 2021. The increase is due to the Company growing its active user count by 154%, going from 25.2K at the end Q3 2021 to 64K at the end of Q3 2022.
Card issuance revenue which consists of procurement and fulfillment of Today debit cards to the clients for use by Today wallet holders, totaled $244K for Q3 2022, an increase of $51K or 26% from $193K for Q3 2021. The increase resulted from a higher number of new client onboardings and increased staffing at existing clients as full reopening occurred in March of 2022.
Program Management revenue which consists of licensing of the Company’s technology to adjacent markets and customized program fee’s, totaled $17K for Q3 2022, a decrease of $331K or 95% from $349K for Q3 2021. The decrease is due mainly to a large one-time licencing fee received by the Company in September of 2021 whereas Q3 2022 revenue consists solely of recurring fee’s.
Gross Profit for Q3 2022 totaled $306K or 21% of revenue, a decrease of $84K from just under $390K or 45% of revenue in Q3 2021. The decrease in gross profit is due mainly to lower program management revenues as Q3 2021 had a one-time licencing fee of $250K which had no associated direct costs. When adjusting Q3 2021 to normalize gross profit with the current quarter, the result is 140K or 16% of revenue in the year ago quarter. The increase in gross profit percentage from the normalized prior year resulted from increased transaction volume due to growth of users and associated GDV diluting the effect of fixed program costs along with cost reductions negotiated in Q3 2022 for card and transaction costs. Though gross profit improved compared to the year ago quarter, Q3 2022 was impacted by the depreciation of the Canadian dollar relative to the US dollar as a significant portion of its variable costs are US denominated.
OPERATING EXPENSES
Total operating expenses for Q3 2022 were $2,199K, an increase of $790K or 56% from $1,408K in Q3 2021. The main driver for the increase is higher salaries, public company and regulatory costs, and consulting fees. Operating expenses of the company consist of:
Salaries and employee benefits were $960K for Q3 2022 compared to $466K for Q3 2021. The increase of $494K is primarily a result of increased staffing, from 24 at the end of Q3 2021 to 35 at the end of Q3 2022. The Company added new strategic positions at the executive level and expanded the areas of Engineering,
8
X T M I N C . Management Discussion and Analysis For the periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021
Product Development, and Sales, all to support product the rapid growth of the Canadian market, and expansion initiatives into the US market. The Company also experienced an increase in salaries across most positions in the organization late in 2021 and early 2022 due to increased competitiveness in the North American labour market, consistent with other companies in the technology and financial sectors.
Professional fees were $237K for Q3 2022 compared to $221K for Q3 2021, or largely flat year over year. As with prior year, fees consist mainly of legal costs and recruitment fees.
Stock based compensation was $134K for Q3 2022 compared to $136K for Q3 2021, or largely flat year over year. Q3 2022 SBC includes Board of Directors compensation totalling $60K ($124K in Q3 2021) with the remainder mainly option vesting costs associated with the May 2022 grant (same with Q3 2021).
Consulting fees were $370K in Q3 2022 compared to $228K for Q3 2021. The increase of $142K is mainly a result of the Company utilizing contracted developers beginning in Q4 2021 to support platform development due to a highly competitive Canadian labour market. The Company reviews staffing requirements and reliance on contract labour quarterly, and adjusts based on labour market and projected work load requirements.
Marketing and promotion was $106K for Q3 2022 compared to $15K for Q3 2021. The increase of $91K is due to increased spend on marketing materials used to attract new clients, increase Today wallet holder communications (which is a function of a growing user count), and participation in tradeshows during the current year quarter.
Office and General was $108K for Q3 2022 compared to $137K for Q3 2021. The decrease of $29K is due to a reduction in software subscriptions mainly pertaining to hosting that was eliminated in Q4 2021 and reduction of social media management tools.
Depreciation and amortization was $48K for Q3 2022 compared to $54K for Q3 2021, or largely flat year over year.
Public company and regulatory was $194K for Q3 2022 compared to just under $80K for Q3 2021. The increase of $114K is due to increased Investor Relations spend pertaining to awareness and outreach activities conducted in the quarter which were mainly focused on introducing the Company to US retail and institutional investors.
Bank charges, interest and accretion was $5K for Q3 2022 compared to $56K for Q3 2021. The decrease of $51K is due mainly to a reduction in administration fee’s as the Company moved some of its services to a lower cost provider.
Travel, meals, and entertainment was $32K for Q3 2022 compared to $15K for Q3 2021. The increase of $19K is due mainly to the Company participating in several trade shows during the quarter which was not possible in Q2 2021 due to COVID-19 travel restrictions that were imposed at that time.
Bad debt and expected credit loss (“ECL”) was $5K for Q3 2022 compared to $nil for Q3 2021. The minimal increase is a result of the Company updating its credit risk model more frequently due to the higher volume of debit card sales driven mainly by new client signings.

OTHER INCOME
Other expense (income) for Q3 2022 was income of $72K compared to income of $36K for Q3 2021. The increased income of $36K is a result of a cost recovery totalling $25K for legal fee’s the Company was awarded as part of an ongoing lawsuit, and higher interest income due to larger cash balances and Bank of Canada interest rate increases in 2022.
ASSETS
Cash as at September 30, 2022 was $4,175K compared to $8,383K at December 31, 2021. The decrease of $4,209K is a result of cash consumed to fund operating activities.
Receivables including other receivables as at September 30, 2022 were $677K compared to $869K at December 31, 2021. The decrease of $192K is a result of the Company converting a receivable of $200K USD (~$250K CAD at time of conversion) to and equity investment (refer to note 16 – Investments in the Q3 2022 unaudited consolidated condensed interim financial statements and “Investments” below) . The remaining increase is due to the higher volume of revenues.
Prepaid expenses as at September 30, 2022 were $267K compared to $114K at December 31, 2021. The increase of $153K is due to annual insurance premiums paid in the July to be amortized over the following 12 months along with several software subscription annual renewals occurring in the quarter.
Investments as at September 30, 2022 were $250K compared to $nil at December 31, 2021. In March 2022, the Company converted a clients outstanding receivable of $200K USD, which was attributed to platform licensing revenues generated in Q3 2021, to and equity investment of 200,000 common shares valued at $1.00 USD per share. Management sees this as an opportunity invest in a potentially high growth adjacent market segment while maintaining the Company’s focus the hospitality industry.
LIABILITIES
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities as at September 30, 2022 was $1,332K compared to $830K at December 31, 2021, an increase of $502K. The increase correlates with the increase in operating expenses due to revenue growth and increased reliance on contract labour mainly in engineering.
Unearned revenue as at September 30, 2022 was $209K compared to $nil at December 31, 2021. The increase is attributed to program incentives related to the Company’s launch with Visa in the US. Recognition of the incentive amount is contingent on the Company achieving pre-determined payment volumes over a 3-year period. The Company will review its progress against the target volumes quarterly and recognize any earned amount in Other Income.
SHAREHOLDERS EQUITY
Shareholders equity as at September 30, 2022 was $5,083K compared to $9,642K at December 31, 2021. The decrease of $4,559K is due to an increase in accumulated deficit of $5,166K associated with the current years net loss and comprehensive loss. Partially offsetting this is an increase of $654K in share capital mainly attributed to the exercise of warrants and options September 30, 2022 year to date.
