Five million of the $11,028,468 was rescinded due to an investor’s finances being intercepted in an injunction; however in March 2024 XTM obtained a $20,000,000 lending facility from which funds can be used for operations and the deficit of prepaid funds fully reconciled on demand, in the event a customer demands repayment of the prepaid funds. Note that while the deficit of prepaid funds has not been cured, the funds available under the credit facility can be used for the settlement of any demands for prepaid funds in the event of such demand and there is no risk to the return of prepaid funds.

  • On December 18, 2023, the company announced that the terms of its non-brokered private placement offering for aggregate gross proceeds of up to US$5MM (the “Offering”) of units originally announced on December 13, 2023, have been revised from an issuance of units of convertible debentures to the issuance of convertible debentures in the principal amount of US$1,000 at a rate of 12% per annum from the date of issuance of the Company (each a “Debenture”) and is due 24 months after the date of issuance. 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 for a period of 24 months from the Initial Closing Date. The Debentures will be a secured obligation of the Company ranking junior in right of payment to all existing secured credit agreements and financing arrangements of the Company, and senior in right of payment to all current and future unsecured obligations of the Corporation.

  • In October 2023, the Company issued shares to support the Company’s working capital requirements until the close of the Convertible Debt Financing, issuing a total of 4,425,356 common shares for proceeds of $592,775 at an average price of $0.134 per share.

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 2024 was $5.2MM compared to a net loss of $2.4MM for Q2 2023. The increased loss of $2.8MM is attributed to increased operating expenses, mainly in salaries and employee benefits, interest on convertible debentures, and the inclusion of QRails expenses into operations for the quarter compared to the last year quarter.

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 2024 totaled $2,151K, an increase of $532K or 33% from $1,286K for the prior year quarter. Of the Company’s three revenue streams, Transaction revenue was the main driver, increasing by $429K, while Card revenue increased by $111K, and Program management revenue was down $8K.

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 $1,893K for Q2 2024, an increase of $427K or 29% from $974K 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 2023 to 79K at the end of Q2 2024.

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 $252K 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 turn over 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 introduced this new revenue stream to expand beyond interchange and cardholder fees.

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, a decrease of $166K or 54% from $297K or 23% of revenue in 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 2024 were $5,250K, an increase of $2,694K or 105% from $2,556K in the prior year quarter. The main drivers are the increase in salaries and employee benefits, depreciation and amortization, and office and general, due to the increase in personnel due to the QRails acquisition, as well as bearing QRails’s operating expenses.

Salaries and employee benefits were $2,729K in Q2 2024 compared to $1,197K for the prior year quarter. The increase of $1,532K is primarily a result of increased staffing because of the QRails acquisition. The QRails product is compliant with Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards and is Type 1 SOC 1 compliant, resulting in additional staffing requirements to meet the rigorous standards. The Company views this team as necessary to administer the EWA AnyDay™ platform at scale throughout Canada, the US and Europe.

Consulting fees were $125K in Q2 2024 compared to $96K for the prior year quarter. The increase of $29k is due to the increased usage of consulting and advisory services, as well as a slight increase in subcontractors’ expense. The Company reviews staffing requirements and reliance on contract labour quarterly and adjusts based on labour market and projected workload requirements.

X T M I N C .

Management Discussion and Analysis For the periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023

Professional fees were $314K for Q2 2024 compared to $409K for the prior year quarter. The decrease of $94K is mainly due to a decrease of legal fees, as the legal fees from the prior year quarter pertained to the issuance of convertible debentures as well as the acquisition of QRails.

Stock based compensation was 338K for Q2 2024 compared to $43K for the prior year quarter. The increase of $295K Is due to the much higher amount and value of outstanding options and restricted share units, due to the integration of employees from the QRails acquisition.

Marketing and promotion was $76K for Q2 2024 compared to $153K for the prior year quarter. The decrease of $77K is due to increased spend on card holder communications (which is a function of a growing user count), offset by a reduction in marketing events and collateral.

Office and General was $375k for Q2 2024 compared to $161K for the prior year quarter. The increase of $214K is mainly due to the inheritance of additional expenses from the QRails acquisition.

Public company and regulatory was $48k for Q2 2024 compared to $90K for the prior year quarter. The decrease of $42K is due to a decrease in investor relations spend pertaining to awareness and outreach activities.

Depreciation and amortization was $522K for Q2 2024 compared to $47K for the prior year quarter. The increase of $475K is because of the inheritance of additional fixed and intangible assets as a result of the QRails acquisition and the addition of the right-of-use asset associated with the new Colorado office lease.

Bank charges, interest and accretion was $134K for Q2 2024 compared to $11K for the prior year quarter. The increase of $123K is because of the inheritance of additional expenses as a result of the QRails acquisition, resulting from the EWA program.

Travel, meals, and entertainment was $5K for Q2 2024 compared to $12K for the prior year quarter, due to corporate reduction in discretionary spending.

Bad debt and expected credit loss (“ECL”) was $5K for Q2 2024 compared to $2K in the prior year quarter and is largely flat year over year.

OTHER INCOME

Other expense for Q2 2024 was $283K compared to $338K for the prior year quarter. The decrease of $55K is related to the gain on the extinguishment of convertible debentures, as well as reduced fraud losses in the trust accounts.

ASSETS

Cash as at June 30, 2024 was $286K compared to $94K at December 31, 2023. The increase of $192K is a result of the financing received from Two Shores, offset by the increased spending on operating expenses.

Trade and other receivables as at June 30, 2024 were $605K compared to $503K at December 31, 2023. The increase of $102K is mainly due to an increase in temporary balances from undrawn revenue at period-end.

Management Discussion and Analysis For the periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023

Prepaid expenses as at June 30, 2024 were $745K compared to $454K at December 31, 2023. The increase of $291K is due to $145K in additional retainers paid for consulting services, as well as the inheritance of QRails expenses due to the acquisition.

Contract asset as at June 30, 2024 was $448K compared to $384K at December 31, 2023. The increase of $64K is due to the Company deferring card costs over the remaining life of its customer contracts. In Q2, $294K of card costs were deferred to future periods, offset by $154K of costs amortized in the current period.

LIABILITIES

Trade and other payables as at June 30, 2024 were $9,153K compared to $7,500K at December 31, 2023. The increase of $1,653K correlates with the increase in operating expenses and the Company having payment plans with key vendors, to reduce the need for short-term cash outlay.

Unearned revenue as at June 30, 2024 was $1,306K compared to $1,104K at December 31, 2023. The increase of $378K is attributed to the Company recognizing its Card revenue across the life of its customer contracts which can range from 1 to 3 years. In Q2 2024, card revenue of $74K was deferred to future period, offset by $47K of deferred revenue being recognized.

SHAREHOLDERS EQUITY

Shareholders equity as at June 30, 2024 is negative $17,067K compared to negative $7,330K at December 31, 2023. The decrease of $9,737K is due to an increase in accumulated deficit associated with the current quarters net loss and comprehensive loss.
