REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and Board of DirectorsMogo Inc.:
Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of Mogo Inc. (the Company) as 
of  December 31,  2021  and  2020,  the  related  consolidated  statements  of  operations  and  comprehensive  loss, 
changes in equity (deficit), and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2021, 
and  the  related  notes  (collectively,  the  consolidated  financial  statements).  In  our  opinion,  the  consolidated 
financial  statements  present  fairly,  in  all  material  respects,  the  financial  position  of  the  Company  as  of 
December 31, 2021 and 2020, and its financial performance and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year 
period ended December 31, 2021, in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by 
the International Accounting Standards Board.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility 
is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting 
firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required 
to  be  independent  with  respect  to  the  Company  in  accordance  with  the  U.S.  federal  securities  laws  and  the 
applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan 
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free 
of  material  misstatement,  whether  due  to  error  or  fraud.  The  Company  is  not  required  to  have,  nor  were  we 
engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required 
to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an 
opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express 
no such opinion.

Our  audits  included  performing  procedures  to  assess  the  risks  of  material  misstatement  of  the  consolidated 
financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such 
procedures  included  examining,  on  a  test  basis,  evidence  regarding  the  amounts  and  disclosures  in  the 
consolidated  financial  statements.  Our  audits  also  included  evaluating  the  accounting  principles  used  and 
significant  estimates  made  by  management,  as  well  as  evaluating  the  overall  presentation  of  the  consolidated 
financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

COVID-19 Pandemic 
During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Canadian economy continued experiencing significant disruption and market volatility related to the global COVID-19 pandemic. The overall impact of the pandemic continues to be uncertain and dependent on actions taken by the Canadian government, businesses, and individuals to limit spread of the COVID-19 virus, as well as governmental economic response and support efforts.
The rapid worldwide spread of COVID-19 has prompted governments to implement restrictive measures to curb the spread of the pandemic. During this period of uncertainty, the Company’s priority has been to protect the health and safety of its employees, support and enforce government actions to slow the spread of COVID-19, and to continually assess and take appropriate actions to mitigate the risks to the business operations as a result of this pandemic.
The overall economic impacts of COVID-19 could include an impact on our ability to obtain debt and equity financing  or  potential  future  decreases  in  revenue  or  the  profitability  of  our  ongoing  operations.  This  is  an evolving  situation,  and  the  Company  will  continue  to  evaluate  and  adapt  on  an  ongoing  basis.  Measures undertaken  to  contain  the  spread  of  the  virus,  such  as  vaccination  campaigns,  have  succeeded  in  curbing outbreaks of the virus. These measures combined with less restrictive public health measures have provided an improving macroeconomic environment. However, the pandemic, fueled by more contagious variants, continues to pose a risk to the recovery. The extent of the impact that this pandemic may have on the Canadian economy and the Company’s business is currently uncertain and difficult to predict. 
The  Company  make  estimates  and  assumptions  in  preparing  the  consolidated  financial  statements.  These estimates and assumptions have been made taking into consideration the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic  and  the  significant  economic  volatility  and  uncertainty  it  has  created.  There  is  a  higher  level  of uncertainty with respect to management’s judgments and estimates at this time, particularly as it relates to the measurement of allowance for loan losses and fair valuation of our investment portfolio. The Company will continue  to  revisit  our  judgements  and  estimates  where  appropriate  in  future  reporting  periods  as  economic conditions surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic continue to evolve. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates, in which case the impact would be recognized in the consolidated financial statements in future periods.

Statement of compliance
These  consolidated  financial  statements  have  been  prepared  in  accordance  with  International  Financial Reporting  Standards  ("IFRS")  as  issued  by  the  International  Accounting  Standards  Board  ("IASB").  The policies  applied  in  these  consolidated  financial  statements  were  based  on  IFRS  issued  and  applicable  at December 31, 2021.
The  Company  presents  its  consolidated  statement  of  financial  position  on  a  non-classified  basis  in  order  of liquidity.
These consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) on March 23, 2022.
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the payment of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. Should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern, it may be unable to realize the carrying value of its assets and to meet its liabilities as they become due in the normal course.
Management routinely plans future activities which includes forecasting future cash flows. Management has reviewed their plan and has formed a judgment that the Company has adequate resources to continue as a going concern  for  the  foreseeable  future,  which  Management  has  defined  as  being  at  least  the  next  12  months.  In arriving at this judgment, Management has considered the following: (i) cash flow projections of the Company, which incorporates a rolling forecast and detailed cash flow modeling through the next 12 months from the date of these consolidated financial statements, and (ii) the base of investors and debt lenders historically available to the Company. The expected cash flows have been modeled based on anticipated revenue and profit streams with debt programmed into the model. Refer to Notes 11, 13, 14 and 27 for details on amounts that may come due in the next 12 months.
For these reasons, the Company continues to adopt a going concern basis in preparing the consolidated financial statements.

The  Company  has  consolidated  the  assets,  liabilities,  revenues  and  expenses  of  all  its  subsidiaries  and  its structured entity. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, and its direct and indirect  wholly-owned  subsidiaries,  Mogo  Finance  Technology  Inc.,  Mogo  Financial  (Alberta)  Inc.,  Mogo Financial (B.C.) Inc., Mogo Financial Inc., Mogo Financial (Ontario) Inc., Mogo Mortgage Technology Inc., Hornby  Loan  Brokers  (Ottawa)  Inc.,  Hornby  Leasing  Inc.,  Mogo  Technology  Inc.  (a  US  subsidiary),  Mogo Blockchain  Technology  Inc.,  Mogo  Wealth  Technology  Inc.,  Thurlow  Management  Inc.,  Thurlow  Capital (Alberta) Inc., Thurlow Capital (B.C.) Inc., Thurlow Capital (Manitoba) Inc., Thurlow Capital (Ontario) Inc., Thurlow Capital (Ottawa) Inc., Carta Solutions Holding Corp., Carta Solutions Processing Services (Cyprus) Ltd.,  Carta  Financial  Services  Ltd.  (a  UK  subsidiary),  Carta  Solutions  Processing  Services  Corp.,  Carta Solutions Processing Services Corp. (a Morocco subsidiary), Carta Solutions Singapore PTE. Ltd. (a Singapore subsidiary), Carta Worldwide Inc., Carta Americas Inc. (a US subsidiary), Moka Financial Technologies Inc., Moka  Payments  UAB  (a  Lithuania  subsidiary),  Moka  Financial  Technologies  Europe  (a  France  subsidiary), Tactex  Asset  Management  Inc.,  Tactex  Advisors  Inc.  (a  US  subsidiary),  NumberJacks  Services  Inc.,  and MogoTrade  Inc.  (formerly  known  as  Fortification)  and  its  special  purpose  entity,  Mogo  Finance  Trust  (the “Trust”). The financial statements of the subsidiaries and the Trust are prepared for the same reporting period as the Company, using consistent accounting policies.
Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Company. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases.
An entity is consolidated if the Company concludes that it controls the entity. The following circumstances may indicate a relationship in which, in substance, Mogo controls and therefore consolidates the entity:
The  Company  has  power  over  the  entity  whereby  the  Company  has  the  ability  to  direct  the  relevant activities (i.e., the activities that affect the entity’s returns);
The Company is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the entity; and
The Company has the ability to use its power over the entity to affect the amount of the entity’s returns.
Special purpose entities (“SPEs”) are entities that are created to accomplish a narrow and well-defined objective such as the execution of a specific borrowing or lending transaction. An SPE is consolidated, if based on an evaluation of the substance of its relationship with the Company, and the SPE’s risks and rewards, the Company concludes  that  it  controls  the  SPE.  Mogo’s  activities  with  respect  to  the  Trust  has  resulted  in  the  Company consolidating the Trust within these consolidated financial statements.
All inter-company balances, income and expenses and unrealized gains and losses resulting from inter-company transactions are eliminated in full.

3.Significant accounting policies
(a)Revenue recognition
Revenue is comprised of subscription and services revenue and interest revenue. 
Subscription and services revenue
Subscription  and  services  revenue  is  comprised  of  service  revenue,  trading  revenue,  transaction  processing revenue,  management  fee  revenue,  commission  revenue  and  brokerage  revenue.  Subscription  and  services revenue is measured based on the consideration specified in a contract with customers. The Company recognizes revenue when control of the services is transferred to the customer.
Service revenue
The  Company  earns  service  revenue  through  its  subscription-based  offerings  including  saving  and  investing products,  identity  fraud  protection,  loan  protection  services,  and  premium  account  services.  The  Company’s service revenues are derived from contracts with individual users. The Company recognizes service revenue from the performance obligations on a straight-line basis, over the length of the contract, on a monthly basis. The  Company  also  earns  service  revenue  through  MogoCrypto  transaction  fees,  and  MogoCard  interchange revenue and other fees that are mainly driven by transactional volume and are recognized when the transaction occurs.
Transaction processing revenue – new accounting policy applied as at January 25, 2021
The Company’s transaction processing revenue is derived from long-term processing contracts with financial and non-financial institutions. Transaction processing revenue is generated primarily from [i] fees charged to set up a customer on the Company’s processing platform; and [ii] processing charges, including maintenance fees on cards on the Company’s processing platform, determined by the number of transactions processed and/or cards boarded by the Company for its customers.
Transaction processing revenue typically includes a performance obligation to provide processing services to its customers. The Company has determined that transaction processing services represent a stand-ready series of  distinct  daily  services  that  are  substantially  the  same,  with  the  same  pattern  of  service  performed  for  the customer. As a result, the Company has determined that transaction processing revenue arrangements represent an individual performance obligation.
The  Company  recognizes  set-up  fees  over  the  contract  period,  on  a  straight-line  basis,  commencing  when services to set up a customer have been completed. The Company recognizes transaction processing charges, including maintenance fees, on a monthly basis based on the greater of the monthly minimum contracted revenue or the total actual transaction fees due based on the number of transactions processed.

3.Significant accounting policies (Continued from previous page)
(a)Revenue recognition (Continued from previous page)
Management fee revenue – new accounting policy applied as at May 4, 2021
Revenue from management services consists of management fees earned through investment advisory services and from investment fund management. The Company recognizes management fee revenue as the management services are delivered.
Commission revenue 
Commission  revenue  is  comprised  of  MogoMortgage  brokerage  commissions  and  Exempt  Market  Dealer commission revenue. The Company earns a commission based on the rate set out within the agreement and is recognized upon completion of the services outlined in the agreement.
Brokerage revenue – new accounting policy applied as at September 1, 2021
Brokerage revenue arising from negotiating or participating in the negotiation of a transaction on behalf of a third party, such as an agreement to acquire shares or other securities or to buy or sell businesses, is recognized at the closing of the underlying transaction.  Fee revenue or components thereof that are related to execution are recognized when the related criteria are met.
Interest revenue
Interest revenue represents interest on our long-term loan products. Our long-term loans fall into two categories: line of credit accounts and installment loans. For line of credit accounts, interest is recognized on an effective interest basis during the period, and fees are recognized when assessed to the customer. For installment loans, revenue  is  recognized  on  an  effective  interest  basis  over  the  term  of  the  loan  and  fees  are  recognized  when assessed to the customer. On February 28, 2020, Mogo completed the sale of the majority of its instalment loan portfolio. Refer Note 4 for more details.
(b)Cost of revenue
Cost of revenue consists of provision for loan losses and transaction costs. Transaction costs are expenses that relate directly to the acquisition and processing of new customers (excluding marketing) and include expenses such as data aggregation costs, payment facilitation costs, credit scoring fees, loan system transaction fees, and certain fees related to the MogoCard and MogoProtect programs.

(c)Financial instruments
Financial assets and liabilities are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the assets have expired  or  have  been  transferred,  and  the  Company  has  transferred  substantially  all  risks  and  rewards  of ownership. Financial  liabilities are  derecognized  when the  obligation specified  in the contract is discharged, cancelled  or  expires.  When  an  existing  financial  liability  is  replaced  by  another  from  the  same  lender  on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference  in  the  respective  carrying  amounts  is  recognized  in  the  consolidated  statement  of  operations  and comprehensive loss.
Classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities
At initial recognition, the Company measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, and in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are expensed in profit or loss. Financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value and are classified as amortized cost or as fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”). A financial liability is classified as at FVTPL if it is classified as held-for trading, it is a derivative or it is designated as such on initial recognition.
The  Company  classifies  its  financial  assets  between  those  to  be  measured  subsequently  at  fair  value  (either through other comprehensive income, or through profit or loss), and those to be measured at amortized cost. Financial  assets  are  not  reclassified  subsequent  to  their  initial  recognition  unless  the  Company  changes  its business model for managing financial assets in which case all affected financial assets are reclassified on the first day of the first reporting period following the change in the business model.
A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as FVTPL:
it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and
its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
A debt investment is measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”) if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL:
it is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets; and
its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
All financial assets not classified as measured at amortized cost or FVOCI as described above are measured at FVTPL.
Financial liabilities at FVTPL are measured at fair value and net gains and losses, including any interest expense, are recognized in profit or loss. Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Interest expense is recognized in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is also recognized in profit or loss.

(c)Financial instruments (Continued from previous page)
The  Company’s  financial  instruments  measured  at  amortized  cost  include  cash  and  cash  equivalent,  loans receivable, other receivables, accounts payable and accruals, lease liabilities, credit facilities, debentures, and convertible debentures.
The Company’s financial instruments measured at FVTPL include the investment portfolio, derivative financial assets and derivative financial liabilities.
Realized  gains  or  losses  on  the  disposal  of  investments  are  determined  based  on  the  weighted  average  cost. Unrealized gains or losses on investments and derivative instruments are determined based on the change in fair value at each reporting period.
Impairment of financial assets
Expected credit loss model
The expected credit loss (“ECL”) model is a three-stage impairment approach used to measure the allowance for loan losses on loans receivable at each reporting period date. Loans are classified under one of three stages based on changes in credit quality since initial recognition. Stage 1 loans consist of performing loans that have not had a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition. Loans that have experienced a significant increase  in  credit  risk  since  initial  recognition  are  classified  as  Stage  2,  and  loans  considered  to  be  credit-impaired are classified as Stage 3. The Company routinely refinances its existing customers, and accordingly, does not consider a modification to be an indicator of increased credit risk. The allowance for loan losses on both Stage 2 and Stage 3 loans is measured at lifetime ECLs. The allowance for loan losses on Stage 1 loans is measured at an amount equal to 12-month ECLs, representing the portion of lifetime ECLs expected to result from default events possible within 12 months of the reporting date. The Company’s measurement of ECLs is impacted  by  forward  looking  indicators  (“FLIs”)  including  the  consideration  of  forward  macroeconomic conditions.  Management  has  applied  a  probability  weighted  approach  to  the  measurement  of  ECL  as  at December 31, 2021, involving multiple scenarios and FLIs. Refer to Note 4 for more details. 
Assessment of significant increase in credit risk
Significant increases in credit risk are assessed based on changes in probability of default of loans receivable subsequent to initial recognition. The Company uses past due information to determine whether credit risk has increased  significantly  since  initial  recognition.  Loans  receivable  are  considered  to  have  experienced  a significant increase in credit risk and are reclassified to Stage 2 if a contractual payment is more than 30 days past due as at the reporting date.
The Company defines default as the earlier of when a contractual loan payment is more than 90 days past due or when a loan becomes insolvent as a result of customer bankruptcy. Loans that have experienced a default event are considered to be credit-impaired and are reclassified as Stage 3 loans.

(c)Financial instruments (Continued from previous page)
Measurement of expected credit losses
ECLs  are  measured  as  the  calculated  expected  value  of  cash  shortfalls  over  the  remaining  life  of  a  loan receivable, using a probability-weighted approach that reflects reasonable and supportable information about historical loss rates, post-charge off recoveries, current conditions and forward-looking indicators such as bank rates and unemployment rates. The measurement of ECLs primarily involves using this information to determine both the expected probability of a default event occurring and expected losses resulting from such default events. Loans are grouped according to product type, customer tenure and aging for the purpose of assessing ECLs. Historical loss rates and probability weights are re-assessed quarterly and subject to management review.
(d)Property and equipment
All property and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. When parts of an item of property and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items of property and equipment.
All assets having limited useful lives are depreciated using the declining balance method at rates intended to depreciate  the  cost  of  assets  over  their  estimated  useful  lives  except  leasehold  improvements,  which  are depreciated straight line over the term of lease.
The depreciation rate for each class of asset during the current and comparative period are as follows:
 
 Rate 
Computer equipment   30%
Furniture and fixtures   20%
Leasehold improvements Term of lease
 
The useful lives of items of property and equipment are reviewed periodically, and the useful life is altered if estimates have changed significantly.

(e)Intangible assets
Intangible assets, with the exception of digital assets, are measured at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses. Intangible assets include internally generated and acquired software, acquired technology assets, regulatory licenses, and customer relationships with finite useful lives. Acquired brand and trade names are considered to have indefinite useful lives. Internally generated software costs primarily consist of salaries and payroll-related costs for employees directly involved in the development efforts and fees paid to outside consultants.
Amortization is recorded at rates intended to amortize the cost of the intangible assets over their estimated useful lives as follows:
 
 Rate
Software - Internally generated 5 years straight line
Software licenses 5 years straight line
Technology assets - Acquired 10 years straight line
Customer relationships 5 years straight line
Regulatory licenses 5 years straight line
Brand and trade name Indefinite
Development costs, including those related to the development of software, are recognized as an intangible asset when the Company can demonstrate:
the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale;
its intention to complete and its ability to use or sell the asset;
how the asset will generate future economic benefits;
the availability of resources to complete the asset; and
the ability to measure reliably the expenditure during development.
Following initial recognition of the development expenditure as an asset, the cost model is applied requiring the asset to be carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. Amortization of  the  asset  begins  when  development  is  complete,  and  the  asset  is  available  for  use.  During  the  period  of development, the asset is tested for impairment annually.
(f)Goodwill – new accounting policy applied as at January 25, 2021
Goodwill represents the future economic benefits arising from a business combination that are not individually identified  and  separately  recognized.  Goodwill  is  measured  at  cost  less  accumulated  impairment  losses. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually.

(g)Impairment of non-financial assets
At the end of each reporting period, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss, if any. Recoverable amount is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets. Where it is not possible  to  estimate  the  recoverable  amount  of  an  individual  asset,  the  Company  estimates  the  recoverable amount of the cash-generating units (“CGUs”) to which the asset belongs. Where a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be identified, corporate assets are also allocated to individual CGUs, or otherwise they are  allocated  to  the  smallest  group  of  CGUs  for  which  a  reasonable  and  consistent  allocation  basis  can  be identified.
For impairment testing purposes, the Company is determined to be two CGUs as follows: 
Carta; and
Remaining Mogo related entities.
Intangible  assets  with  indefinite  useful  lives  and  intangible  assets  not  yet  available  for  use  are  tested  for impairment at least annually, and whenever there is an indication that the asset may be impaired. 
The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.
If  the  recoverable  amount  of  an  asset  or  CGU  is  estimated  to  be  less  than  its  carrying  amount,  the  carrying amount of the asset or CGU is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognized immediately in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.
Other than for goodwill, where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset or CGU is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, such that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset or CGU in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.
(h)Digital assets – new accounting policy applied as at January 1, 2021
Digital assets represent investments in cryptocurrencies held by the Company that are classified as indefinite life intangible  assets.  The  Company  has  ownership  and  control  over  its  digital  assets  and  uses  third-party custodial services to secure them. The Company has concluded that digital assets are traded in an active market where there are observable prices and digital assets are measured under the revaluation model
 at fair value at 
the revaluation date less any accumulated impairment loss.
Acquisitions of digital assets are recognized at cost and are remeasured to fair value at the end of the period by reference  to  active  markets.  The  Company  determines  the  fair  value  of  our digital  assets in  accordance with IFRS  13 Fair  Value  Measurement  (“IFRS  13”)  using quoted  prices  on  the  active  exchanges  for digital assets (Level 1 inputs). Digital assets are remeasured to fair value on this basis at each reporting date. In addition, the Company perform an analysis each quarter to identify whether events or changes in circumstances in addition to  market  price,  provide  indicators  of  impairment.  A  decrease  in  value  due  to  impairment  identified  in  this manner is accounted for as a fair value decrease as described below.

Fair value increases are recognized in other comprehensive income and recorded to a revaluation reserve, except to the extent that the increase reverses a previous revaluation decrease on the same asset recognized in net loss, in which case a gain up to the amount of the loss previously charged to net loss is recognized in net profit. Fair value  decreases  are  recognized  in  other  comprehensive  loss  to  the  degree  that  these  reduce  any accumulated revaluation reserve, with any decrease in excess of the revaluation reserve recognized in net loss.

The consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars. The functional currency of each subsidiary is  determined  based  on  the  currency  of  the  primary  economic  environment  in  which  that  subsidiary  operates. Transactions  in  foreign  currencies  are  initially  recorded  by  the  subsidiaries  at  their  respective  functional  rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Monetary items are translated into Canadian dollars at the exchange rate in effect as at the date of the consolidated statement of financial position and non-monetary items are translated as at the rate of exchange in effect when the assets were acquired or the obligation was incurred. Revenue and expenses are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the time of the transaction. Foreign exchange gains or losses are recorded in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss. The functional currency of each subsidiary that  is  not  in  Canadian  dollars  is  as  follows:  Carta  Financial  Services  Ltd.  (GBP),  Carta  Solutions  Processing Services Cyprus Ltd. (EUR), Carta Solutions Processing Services Corp. (MAD), Carta Solutions Singapore PTE. Ltd. (SGD), Carta Americas Inc. (USD), Moka Financial Technologies Europe (EUR), Tactex Asset Management Inc. (EUR), and Tactex Advisors Inc. (USD). 
(j)Foreign operations – new accounting policy applied as at January 25, 2021
The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated to the presentation currency using exchange rates at the reporting date. The revenue and expenses of foreign operations are translated to the presentation currency using exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Foreign currency differences are recognized in other comprehensive income.
(k)Provisions
Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation that is the result of a past event, when it is probable that the Company will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can be made. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects the risk specific to the obligation.
(l)Income taxes 
Income  tax  expense  is  comprised  of  current  and  deferred  tax.  Current  tax  is  the  expected  tax  payable  or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the period, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.
Deferred  tax  is  recognized  in  respect  of  temporary  differences  between  the  carrying  amounts  of  assets  and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.
Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized.
(m)Investment tax credits – new accounting policy applied as at May 4, 2021
The benefits of investment tax credits for scientific research and development expenditures are recognized in the year the qualifying expenditure is made, providing there is reasonable assurance of recovery.

(n)Sales tax
Revenue, expenses and assets are recognized net of the amount of sales tax except where the sales tax incurred on a purchase of assets or services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the sales tax is recognized as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable. The net amount  of  sales  tax  recoverable  from,  or  payable  to,  the  taxation  authority  is  included  as  part  of  amounts receivable or accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the consolidated statement of financial position.
(o)Share-based payments
The Company measures equity settled stock options granted to directors, officers, employees and consultants based  on  their  fair  value  at  the  grant  date  and  recognizes  compensation  expense  over  the  vesting  period. Measurement  inputs  include  the  Company’s  share  price  on  the  measurement  date,  the  exercise  price  of  the option or warrant, the expected volatility of the Company’s shares, the expected life of the options or warrants, and the risk-free rate of return. Dividends are not factored in as the Company does not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future. Expected forfeitures are estimated at the date of grant and subsequently adjusted if further information indicates actual forfeitures may vary from the original estimate.
For each restricted share unit (“RSU”) granted to directors, officers and employees, compensation expense is recognized equal to the market value of one common share at the date of grant based on the number of RSUs expected  to  vest,  recognized  over  the  term  of  the  vesting  period,  with  a  corresponding  credit  to  contributed surplus.
Share-based payment arrangements with non-employees in which the Company receives goods or services as consideration  for  its  own  equity  instruments  are  accounted  for  as  equity-settled  share-based  payments transactions. The share-based payments are measured based on the fair value of the goods or services received if the fair value can be reliably measured. Otherwise, the share-based payments are measured based on the fair value of the share-based awards using the expected life, risk free interest rate, volatility, exercise price, and fair value of the underlying equity instrument at the time the goods or services are received.
(p)Earnings per share
The computation of earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share are computed in a similar way to basic earnings per share except that the weighted average shares outstanding are increased to include additional shares assuming the exercise of share options or warrants, or conversion of convertible debentures, if dilutive.
(q)Business combinations
The  Company  uses  the  acquisition  method  of  accounting  for  its  business  combinations.  The  consideration transferred in the acquisition is generally measured at fair value, as are the identifiable net assets acquired. Any gain on purchase is recognized in profit or loss immediately. Transaction cost are expenses as incurred, except if related to the issue of debt or equity securities. The consideration transferred does not include amounts related to  the  settlement  of  pre-existing  relationship.  Such  amounts  are  generally  recognized  in  the  consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.
If  share-based  payment  awards  (“replacement  awards”)  are  required  to  be  exchanged  for  awards  held  by acquiree’s employees, then all or a portion of the amount of the acquirer’s replacement awards is included in measuring the consideration transferred in the business combination. This determination is based on the market-based measure of the replacement awards compared with the market-based measure of the acquiree’s awards and the extent to which the replacement awards related to pre-acquisition services.

(r)Investment in associate – New accounting policy applied as at April 16, 2021
An associate is an entity over which the Company has significant influence. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not control or joint control over those policies. The considerations made in determining significant influence are similar to those necessary to determine control over subsidiaries. 
The Company’s investment in its associate is accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method, the investment in an associate is initially recognized at cost. The carrying amount of the investment is adjusted to recognize changes in the Company’s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the associate since the acquisition date. Goodwill relating to the associate is included in the carrying amount of the investment and is not tested for impairment separately.
The consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss reflects the Company’s share of the results of operations of the associate. Unrealized gains and losses resulting from transactions between the Company and the associate are eliminated to the extent of the interest in the associate.
The  aggregate  of  the  Company’s  share  of  an  associate’s  profit  or  loss  after  tax  is  shown  on  the  face  of  the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss as a separate line item. The financial statements of the associate are prepared for the same reporting period as the Company. When necessary, adjustments are made to bring the accounting policies in line with those of the Company. After application of the equity method, the  Company  determines  whether  it  is  necessary  to  recognize  an  impairment  loss  on  its  investment  in  its associate.  At  each  reporting  date,  the  Company  determines  whether  there  is  objective  evidence  that  the investment  in  the  associate  is  impaired.  If  there  is  such  evidence,  the  Company  calculates  the  amount  of impairment as the difference between the recoverable amount of the associate and its carrying value, and then recognizes the loss within its share of profit or loss of an associate in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.
   (s)
Cash and cash equivalent
Cash and cash equivalent in the consolidated statement of financial position and cash flows is comprised of cash held at banks, cash held on hand and short-term highly liquid deposits with an original maturity of three months or less that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. 
Cash  and  cash  equivalents  include  $1,446  of  deposits  held  by  the  Company  that  are  subject  to  regulatory restrictions and therefore are not available for general use.
(t)Leases
Right-of-use assets
Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any re-measurement of lease liabilities. The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognized, initial direct cost incurred, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received. The right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Right-of-use assets are subject to an evaluation of impairment if any indicators of impairment are noted.
Lease liabilities
The Company recognizes lease liabilities measured at the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease  term.  The  lease  payment  includes  fixed  payments  (including  in-substance  fixed  payments).  Variable payments other than those that depend on an index or a rate are recorded in general and administration expenses as incurred.

3.Significant accounting policies (Continued from previous page)
(t)Leases (Continued from previous page)
In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Company uses the incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date if the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. After the commencement date,  the  amount  of  lease  liabilities  is  increased  to  reflect  the  accretion  of  interest  and  reduced  for  the  lease payments made. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is re-measured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term or a change in the in-substance fixed lease payments.
Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets
The  Company  applies  the  short-term  lease  recognition  exemption  to  its  short-term  leases  of  properties  (i.e., those leases that  have  a  lease term of  12  months or  less  from the commencement  date  and  do  not contain a purchase  option).  It  also  applies  the  lease  of  low-value  assets  recognition  exemption  to  leases  of  office equipment that are considered of low value (i.e., below $5,000). Lease payments on short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognized as expenses in the period incurred.
(u)Government assistance 
Government assistance is recognized when there is reasonable assurance that it will be received and all related conditions will be complied with. When government assistance relates to an expense item, it is recognized as revenue over the period necessary to match the government assistance in a systematic basis to the costs that is intended to subsidize. 
(v)Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the year. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates, assumptions, and judgments are  reviewed  on  an  ongoing  basis.  Revisions  to  accounting  estimates  are  recognized  on  a  prospective  basis beginning from the period in which they are revised.
Significant accounting judgements
The following are the critical judgements, apart from those involving estimations that have been made in the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements.
Expected credit losses
In applying its accounting policy for the expected credit loss model the Company applies judgment in defining significant increase in defaults, and its write-offs policy. Refer to Note 4 for further details.
Significant accounting estimates and assumptions
These estimates and assumptions are based on management’s historical experience, best knowledge of current events, conditions and actions that the Company may undertake in the future and other factors that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances.

3.Significant accounting policies (Continued from previous page)
(v)Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions (Continued from previous page)
These  estimates  and  assumptions  are  reviewed  periodically,  and  the  effect  of  a  change  in  accounting estimate  or  assumption  is  recognized  prospectively  by  including  it  in  the  consolidated  statement  of operations and comprehensive loss in the period of the change and in any future periods affected.
The areas where estimates and assumptions have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements include the following:
(i)Allowance for loan losses
Our provision for loan losses consists of amounts charged to the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss during the period to maintain an adequate allowance for loan losses. Our allowance for loan losses represents our estimate of the expected credit losses inherent in our existing loan portfolio and is based on a variety of factors, including the composition and quality of the portfolio, loan-specific information gathered through our collection efforts, delinquency levels, our historical charge-off and loss experience,  our  expectations  of  future  loan  performance,  and  general  forward-looking  macroeconomic conditions.  The  methodology  and  assumptions  used  in  setting  the  loan  loss  allowance  are  reviewed regularly to reduce any difference between loss estimates and actual loss experience.
(ii)Fair value of privately held investments
Estimating  fair  value  requires  that  significant  judgment  be  applied  to  each  individual  investment.  For privately  held  investments,  the  fair  value  of  each  investment  is  measured  using  the  most  appropriate valuation methodology or combination of methodologies in the judgment of management in light of the specific nature, facts and circumstances surrounding that investment. This may take into consideration, but not be limited to, one or more of the following: valuations of recent or in-progress funding rounds, forward revenue and earnings projections, comparable peer valuation multiples, and the initial cost base of the investment. Actual results could differ significantly from these estimates.
(iii)Fair value of identifiable intangible assets acquired from business combinations
Estimating fair value requires that significant judgement be applied to each identifiable intangible asset. For  identifiable  intangible  assets,  the  fair  value  is  determined  using  the  most  appropriate  valuation methodology or combination of methodologies in the judgement of management in light of the specific nature,  facts  and  circumstances  surrounding  the  intangible  asset.  Management  exercises  judgement  in determining  inputs  to  the  valuation  methodology  including  discount  rates  and  cash  flow  projections. Variations in actual results for any of these inputs will result in a different fair value of the intangible asset as compared to the original estimate. 
(iv)Valuation of goodwill acquired in business combinations
The  Company  is  required  to  assess  the  recoverability  of  values  assigned  to  cash  generating  units  that include goodwill on an annual basis.  Estimating the recoverable amount requires significant judgment in the determination of appropriate inputs. This may take into consideration the following: forecast period, cash flow projections, discount rates. Actual results could differ significantly from these estimates. 
(w)New and amended standards and interpretations
Certain new or amended standards and interpretations became effective on January 1, 2021, but do not have an impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company. The Company has not adopted any standards or interpretations that have been issued but are not yet effective.

4.Loans receivable
Loans receivable represent unsecured installment loans and lines of credit advanced to customers in the normal course of business. Current loans are defined as loans to customers with terms of one year or less, while non-current loans are those with terms exceeding one year. The breakdown of the Company’s gross loans receivable as at December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 are as follows:

In determination of the Company’s allowance for loan losses, internally developed models are used to factor in credit risk related metrics, including the probability of defaults, the loss given default and other relevant risk factors. Management also considered the impact of key macroeconomic factors such as GDP, unemployment rates, inflation rates, interest rate, and oil prices on the allowance for loan losses. The analysis performed by the Company determined that historic losses are most correlated with inflation rate. As part of the process, inflation rate was used to generate two forward looking scenarios 1) Optimistic 2) Pessimistic. If management were to assign  100%  probability  to  the  optimistic  and  pessimistic  scenario  forecasts,  the  allowance  for  credit  losses would have been $630 lower and $705 higher than the reported allowance for credit losses as at December 31, 2021, respectively.

On December 16, 2021, the Company further amended its Credit facility. The amendment lowered the effective interest rate from a maximum of LIBOR plus 9% (with a LIBOR floor of 1.5%) to LIBOR plus 8% with no floor.  In  addition,  the  amendment  increases  the  available  loan  capital  from  $50  million  to  $60  million  and extends the maturity date by three years from July 2, 2022 to July 2, 2025.

On October 7, 2020, Mogo issued 4,479,392 warrants (the “Debenture Warrants”) to its debenture holders in connection with the debenture amendments approved on September 30, 2020, at an exercise price of $2.03 per warrant. The Debenture Warrants are exercisable at any time until December 31, 2022. As at December 31, 2021, 3,618,737 warrants (December 31, 2020 – 990,427) have been exercised and converted into Common Shares  for  cash  proceeds  of  $6,375  (December  31,  2020  -  $2,011).  As  at  December  31,  2021,  1,184,015 Debenture Warrants remain outstanding and exercisable (December 31, 2020 – 3,488,965). 
The amendments to the debentures were accounted for as a settlement of the previous debt and replacement by a  new  financial  liability.  On  September  30,  2020,  the  carrying  amount  of  the  previous  debt  of  $47,264  was replaced by a new financial liability with a fair value of $42,231, calculated using the present value of future cash flows discounted at the prevailing market interest rate. The difference between the face value of the new financial liability and its fair value is recorded against the principal balance and accreted using the effective interest rate method over the term of the debentures. Additionally, the Debenture Warrants issuable at September 30, 2020, were initially recognized as a separate liability with a fair value of $3,500 using the Black Scholes valuation model. The $1,533 difference in carrying value of the previous debt and fair value of the new financial liabilities was recorded as a $767 reduction to debenture interest expense and other financing expense to revise interest owing, using the amended interest rate, and a $765 gain on debenture amendment recorded to other non-operating (income) expenses in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.
Upon issuance of the Debenture Warrants on October 7, 2020, the financial liability was converted into an equity instrument and  remeasured  to a  fair  value  of  $3,508  recognized in equity as of  that date with  the  difference recorded as a gain to the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.
During the year ended December 31, 2020, transaction costs of $169 related to amendments were recorded in other non-operating (income) expenses in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss. 
Interest expense on the debentures related to the coupon payment is included in debenture interest and other financing  expense,  and  the  portion  of  expense  related  to  accretion  of  the  discount  is  recorded  separately  to accretion related to debentures in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.

On  December  10,  2020,  the  Company  gave  notice  to  the  holders  of  the  convertible  debentures  that  it  was exercising its early conversion right such that the convertible debentures would be converted to Common Shares at the Conversion Price on or about January 11, 2021. 
On January 11, 2021, the Company converted all of the outstanding balance related to principal and interest of convertible debentures into 3,178,930 Common Shares.

The stock warrants are classified as a derivative liability under IFRS by the sole virtue of their exercise price being denominated in USD. As such, the warrants are subject to revaluation under the Black Scholes model at each  reporting  date,  with  gains  and  losses  recognized  to  the  consolidated  statement  of  operations  and comprehensive loss.

21.Other non-operating (income) expenses (Continued from previous page)
Due  to  the  outbreak  of  COVID-19,  the  Government  of  Canada  announced  the  Canadian  Emergency  Wage Subsidy  (“CEWS”)  and  Canadian  Emergency  Rent  Subsidy  (“CERS”)  to  support  companies  that  have experienced a certain level of revenue decline in their operations. Mogo has determined that it qualifies for the CEWS and CERS and has made an accounting policy election to record the grant on a gross basis. During the year ended December 31, 2021, Mogo has recorded other non-operating income for CEWS and CERS of $1,007 and $163 respectively (2020 – $3,201 and $nil).
Direct offering transaction costs allocated to derivative financial liabilities of $2,260 relate to the issuance of warrants with a USD denominated exercise price to investors. This resulted in the recognition of a derivative financial liability and the allocation of the associated transaction costs to other non-operating expenses (refer to Note 16 for further details). 
22.Loss per share
Loss per share is based on consolidated net loss for the year divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. Diluted loss per share is computed in accordance with the treasury stock method and is based on the weighted average number of shares and dilutive share equivalents.
The  following  reflects  consolidated  comprehensive  loss  and  weighted  average  number  of  shares  used  in  the basic and diluted loss per share computations:
  
2021   2020 
Loss attributed to shareholders   (33,209)    (13,445)
Basic weighted average number of shares (in 000s)   63,005     28,873 
Basic and diluted loss per share   (0.53)    (0.47)
The outstanding stock options and warrants were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share because their effect is anti-dilutive.
23.Capital management
The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to maintain financial flexibility in order to preserve its ability to meet financial obligations and continue as a going concern, and to deploy capital to provide future investment return to its shareholders.
The  Company  sets  the  amount  and  type  of  capital  required  relative  to  its  assessment  of  risk  and  makes adjustments  when  necessary  to  respond  to  changes  to  economic  conditions,  the  risk  characteristics  of  the underlying  assets,  and  externally  imposed  capital  requirements.  In  order  to  maintain  or  modify  its  capital structure, the Company may issue new shares, seek other forms of financing, or sell assets to reduce debt.
The Company manages the following as capital:
  
2021   2020 
Share capital   392,628     106,730 
Deficit   (148,263)    (115,054)
Credit facilities   44,983     37,644 
Debentures   41,375     43,442

23.Capital management (Continued from previous page)
There have been no changes in the Company’s capital management objectives, policies and processes during the year. There are certain capital requirements of the Company resulting from the Company’s credit facility that include financial covenants and ratios. Management uses these capital requirements in the decisions made in managing the level and make-up of the Company’s capital structure. The Company was in compliance with all of the financial covenants as at December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
Changes in the share capital of the Company over the year ended December 31, 2021 are mainly attributed to the acquisitions of Carta, Moka and Fortification and investment in Coinsquare as disclosed in Note 24 and Note 25, respectively and financings completed as disclosed in Note 28a. 
 
24.Business combination
Acquisition of Carta:
On January 25, 2021, Mogo completed the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding securities of Carta in exchange for 10,000,000 Common Shares with a fair value of $54,800 based on Mogo's closing share price at the acquisition date.

The  acquisition  is  expected  to  significantly  expand  Mogo’s  total  addressable  market by  entering  the  global payments  market,  increase  revenue  scale  and  accelerate  the  growth  of  its  high-margin  subscription  and transaction-based  revenue,  and  strengthen  the  Company’s  digital  wallet  capabilities  which  includes  the development of a peer-to-peer payment solution.
In the period January 25, 2021, to December 31, 2021, the operations of Carta contributed revenue of $7,970 and net loss of ($1,470). If the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2021, management estimates that proforma revenue would have been $8,438 and proforma net loss from the operations of Carta would have been ($1,889) for the year ended December 31, 2021. In determining these amounts, management has assumed the fair value adjustments,  determined,  that  arose  on  the  date  of  business  combination  would  have  been  the  same  if  the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2021.

Goodwill and indefinite-life intangible assets:
Goodwill and indefinite-life intangible assets are attributed to the group of CGUs to which they relate. As at December 31, 2021, the carrying value of goodwill attributable to the Carta CGU and remaining Mogo related entities CGU was $35,893 and $34,219 respectively. As at December 31, 2021, the carrying value of indefinite-life  intangible  assets  attributable  to  the  Carta  CGU  was  $1,000.  Impairment  testing  was  performed  as  at December  31,  2021.  The  impairment  test  consisted  of  comparing  the  carrying  value  of  net  assets  within  the CGU to the recoverable amount of that CGU as measured by discounting the expected future cash flows using a value in use approach. 
The cash flow projections include specific estimates for seven years and a terminal growth rate thereafter. The key assumptions used in the estimation of the recoverable amount for each CGU include a pre-tax discount rate of 16% and terminal growth rate of 10%. The discount rate was estimated based on a range of historical industry weighted average cost of capital and then applied to the operating CGU based on management’s discretion and expertise. The terminal growth rate was determined based on management’s estimate of long-term compound annual growth rates. Forecasted cash flows are estimated by considering past experience such as revenue and expenditures that would both respectively increase based on inflationary measures, estimated loan origination and volume growth, and expected future and current factors affecting the industry. 
No  impairment  charges  to  goodwill  or  indefinite-life  intangible  assets  were  recorded  in  the  year  ended December 31, 2021.

25.Investment accounted for using the equity method
On  April  16,  2021,  the  Company  completed  its  initial  strategic  investment  (the  “Initial  Investment”)  in Coinsquare,  a  digital  asset  trading  platform,  pursuant  to  which  Mogo  has  acquired  6,450,607  Coinsquare common  shares,  representing  19.99%  ownership  interest  in  Coinsquare,  for  total  aggregate  consideration  of $55,359, comprising of a cash payment of $27,396 and the issuance of 2,807,577 Common Shares valued at $27,963 to Coinsquare and certain selling shareholders of Coinsquare. The transaction also included:
a right for Mogo to purchase 3,223,690 Coinsquare common shares from certain selling shareholders at $8.29 per Coinsquare common share (the “Call Option”), whereby Mogo has an option to pay the purchase consideration fully in Common Shares.
a right for these certain selling shareholders to require Mogo to purchase 3,223,690 Coinsquare common shares  (the  “Put  Option”),  whereby  the  Call  Option  and  Put  Option  are  subject  to  certain  exercise conditions,  and  whereby  the  exercise  of  either  one  of  the  Call  Option  or  the  Put  Option  results  in  the immediate expiry of the another.
the issuance of a warrant to Mogo to acquire 7,240,665 additional Coinsquare common shares through treasury at an exercise price of $8.29 per warrant, subject to certain conditions and payable by Mogo at least 50% in cash and the remainder in Common Shares (the “Coinsquare Warrant”).
On  June  4,  2021,  Mogo  acquired  an  additional  5,412,222  common  shares  of  Coinsquare  which  increased Mogo’s  ownership  in  Coinsquare  from  19.99%  to  approximately  36.74%,  through  two  separate  transactions executed on that day, specifically:
the  exercise  of  the  Call  Option,  to  acquire  3,223,690  Coinsquare  common  shares  from  certain  selling shareholders, with total consideration paid through the issuance of 2,791,904 Common Shares.
the  purchase  of  2,188,532  Coinsquare  common  shares  from  a  selling  shareholder  pursuant  to  a  share purchase agreement for a total consideration of 2,288,972 Common Shares that were issued in three equal tranches on June 4, July 4 and August 4, 2021 respectively. 
On  June  15,  2021,  Mogo  purchased  an  additional  655,644  common  shares  of  Coinsquare  from  a  selling shareholder  which  increased  Mogo’s  ownership  from  36.74%  to  approximately  38.77%,  for  total  aggregate consideration of $8,523, consisting of a cash payment of $5,000 and the issuance of 378,774 Common Shares valued  at  $3,523.  This  transaction  included  a  right  for  Mogo  (the  “New  Call  Option”)  to  purchase  addition 1,100,000 Coinsquare shares under certain conditions, at an exercise price of $13.00 per Coinsquare common share. The New Call Option expired fully unexercised on October 13, 2021.
The Company’s initial 19.99% position in Coinsquare and subsequent investments are accounted for using the equity method in the consolidated financial statements, effective as at the date of the Initial Investment on April 16, 2021, as Mogo participates in all significant financial and operating decisions of Coinsquare, even though it held just under 20% of the voting rights. Therefore, the Company has determined that it exerted significant influence over Coinsquare as at that date. 
The  Company  determined  that  the  Call  Option,  Put  Option,  Coinsquare  Warrant  and  New  Call  Option  are classified  as  derivative  financial  instruments  on  the  consolidated  statement  of  financial  position,  fair  valued using the Black-Scholes valuation model at initial recognition, and subsequently remeasured to fair value as at each  reporting  date.  Any  change  in  the  fair  value  of  these  derivative  financial  instruments  is  recognized  to revaluation gains (losses) in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.

26.Fair value of financial instruments
The fair value of a financial instrument is the price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability,  in  an  orderly  transaction  between  market  participants  which  takes  place  in  the  principal  (or  most advantageous)  market  at  the  measurement  date.  The  fair  value  of  a  liability  reflects  its  non-performing  risk. Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in the consolidated statement of financial position are measured and classified in a hierarchy consisting of three levels for disclosure purposes. The three levels are based on the priority of the inputs to the respective valuation technique. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). An asset or liability's classification within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of significant input to its valuation. The input levels are defined as follows:
Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets and liabilities.
Level  2:  Quoted  prices  in  markets  that  are  not  active  or  inputs  that  are  derived  from  quoted  prices  of similar (but not identical) assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and are significant to the estimated fair value of the assets or liabilities.
(a)Valuation process
The Company maximizes the use of quoted prices from active markets, when available. A market is regarded as active if transactions take place with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. Where independent quoted market prices are not available, the Company uses quoted market prices for similar instruments, other third-party evidence or valuation techniques.
The fair value of financial instruments determined using valuation techniques include the use of recent arm’s length transactions and discounted cash flow analysis for investments in unquoted securities, discounted cash flow analysis for derivatives, third-party pricing models or other valuation techniques commonly used by market participants and utilize independent observable market inputs to the maximum extent possible.
The use of valuation techniques to determine the fair value of a financial instrument requires management to make assumptions such as the amount and timing of future cash flows and discount rates and incorporate the Company’s estimate of assumptions that a market participant would make when valuing the instruments.

27.Nature and extent of risk arising from financial instruments 
Risk management policy
In the normal course of business, the Company is exposed to financial risk that arises from a number of sources. Management’s involvement in operations helps identify risks and variations from expectations. As a part of the overall operation of the Company, Management takes steps to avoid undue concentrations of risk. The Company manages the risks as follows:
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counter-party to a financial instrument fails  to  meet  its  contractual  obligations  and  arises  primarily  from  the  Company’s  loans  receivable.  The maximum  amount  of  credit  risk  exposure  is  limited  to  the  gross  carrying  amount  of  the  loans  receivable disclosed in these consolidated financial statements.
The Company acts as a lender of unsecured consumer loans and lines of credit and has little concentration of credit risk with any particular individual, company or other entity, relating to these services. However, the credit risk relates to the possibility of default of payment on the Company’s loans receivable. The Company performs on-going credit evaluations, monitors aging of the loan portfolio, monitors payment history of individual loans, and maintains an allowance for loan loss to mitigate this risk.
The credit risk decisions on the Company’s loans receivable are made in accordance with the Company’s credit policies and lending practices, which are overseen by the Company’s senior management. Credit quality of the customer is assessed based on a credit rating scorecard and individual credit limits are defined in accordance with  this  assessment.  The  consumer  loans  receivable  are  unsecured.  The  Company  develops  underwriting models based on the historical performance of groups of customer loans which guide its lending decisions. To the extent that such historical data used to develop its underwriting models is not representative or predictive of current loan book performance, the Company could suffer increased loan losses.
The  Company  cannot  guarantee  that  delinquency  and  loss  levels  will  correspond  with  the  historical  levels experienced and there is a risk that delinquency and loss rates could increase significantly.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due or will not receive sufficient funds from its third-party lenders to advance to the Company’s customers. The Company  manages  all  liquidity  risk  through  maintaining  a  sufficient  working  capital  amount  through  daily monitoring of controls, cash balances and operating results. The Company’s principal sources of cash are funds from  operations,  which  the  Company  believes  will  be  sufficient  to  cover  its  normal  operating  and  capital expenditures.

The Company’s accounts payable and accruals are substantially due within 12 months. The maturity schedule of the Company’s credit facilities, debentures, and convertible debentures are described below. Management’s intention is to continue to refinance any outstanding amounts owing under the credit facilities and debentures and will consider the issuance of shares in lieu of amounts owing under the convertible debentures, in each case as they become due and payable. The debentures are subordinated to the credit facilities which has the effect of extending the maturity date of the debentures to the later of contractual maturity or the maturity date of credit facilities.

27.Nature and extent of risk arising from financial instruments (Continued from previous page)
Market risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: interest rate risk, currency risk and other price risk, such as equity price risk and commodity risk. Financial instruments that could be affected by market risk include cash, investment portfolio, credit facilities, debentures, derivative financial assets and derivative financial liabilities.
Interest rate risk
Changes in market interest rates may have an effect on the cash flows associated with some financial assets and liabilities, known as cash flow risk, and on the fair value of other financial assets or liabilities, known as price risk.  The  Company  is  exposed  to  interest  rate  risk  primarily  relating  to  its  credit  facilities  that  bear  interest fluctuating with LIBOR. The Credit facility does not have a LIBOR floor. As at December 31, 2021, LIBOR is 0.11% (December 31, 2020 – 0.34%). A 50-basis point change in LIBOR would increase or decrease credit facility interest expense by $225.
The debentures have fixed rates of interest and are not subject to interest rate risk.
Currency risk 
Currency  risk  is  the  risk  that  changes  in  foreign  exchange  rates  may  have  an  effect  on  future  cash  flows associated  with  financial  instruments.  The  Company  is  exposed  to  foreign  currency  risk  on  the  following financial instruments denominated in U.S. dollars. A 5% increase or decrease in the U.S. dollar exchange rate would increase or decrease the unrealized exchange gain (loss) by $32,196.

The valuation of our investment portfolio is conducted on a quarterly basis.

(c)Options
The Company has a stock option plan (the “Plan”) that provides for the granting of options to directors, officers, employees and consultants. The exercise price of an option is set at the time that such option is granted under the Plan. The maximum number of Common shares reserved for issuance under the Plan is the greater of i) 15% of the number of Common shares issued and outstanding of the Company and ii) 3,800,000. As a result of a business combination with Difference Capital Financial Inc. completed on June 21, 2019, there are an additional options issued , which were granted pursuant to the Company’s prior stock option plan (the “Prior Plan”). As at December 31, 2021, there are 97,000 of these options outstanding that do not contribute towards the maximum number of Common Shares reserved for issuance under the Plan as described above.
Each option converts into one Common Share of the Company upon exercise. No amounts are paid or payable by the recipient on receipt of the option. The options carry neither right to dividends nor voting rights. Options may be exercised at any time from the date of vesting to the date of expiry. Options issued under the Plan have a maximum contractual term of eight years, and options issued under the Prior Plan have a maximum contractual term of ten years.

Options granted during the year ended December 31, 2021 include 17,500 options granted to non-employees (2020 - 150,000). These options measured at the fair value of corresponding services received, rather than using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. 
On June 10, 2020, Mogo modified the exercise price of 1,394,425 outstanding options previously granted to its employees to $1.56. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the incremental modification expense arising from the repricing of these options was $397.     
On December 23, 2021, Mogo modified the exercise price of 1,413,282 outstanding options previously granted to its employees to $4.42. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the incremental modification expense arising from the repricing of these options was $530. 
With the exception of performance-based stock options, the fair value of each option granted was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:
