REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors
Mogo 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.
Chartered Professional Accountants
We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2019.

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 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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Foreign currency translation
– new accounting policy applied as at January 25, 2021
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).

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.

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.

Significant accounting policies
(Continued from previous page)
 
 
(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.

(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.

(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.

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.

The following table provides a breakdown of gross loans receivable and allowance for loan losses by aging bucket, which represents our assessment of credit risk exposure and by their IFRS 9 ECL measurement stage. The entire loan balance of a customer is aged in the same category as its oldest individual past due payment, to align with the stage groupings used in calculating the allowance for loan losses under IFRS 9. Stage 3 gross loans receivable include net balances outstanding and still anticipated to be collected for loans previously charged off and these are carried in gross receivables at the net expected collectable amount with no associated allowance:

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.

Leases
The Company has lease agreements for its office spaces. Leases generally have lease terms between 2 years to 7 years with an option to renew the lease after that date. The Company assesses at the lease commencement date whether it is reasonably certain to exercise the extension option. The Company
re-assesses
whether it is reasonably certain to exercise the options if there is a significant event or significant change in circumstances within its control.
During the year, the Company has not made any
re-assessment
related to extension options. Information about leases for which the Company is a lessee is presented below:

13.
Credit facilities
As of January 1, 2020, the Company had two credit facilities: the “Credit facility – Liquid” and the “Credit facility”, both credit facilities are subject to variable interest rates that reference LIBOR, or under certain conditions, the Federal Funds Rate in effect. 
The Credit facility 
had an effective interest rate of LIBOR plus 12.5% (with a LIBOR floor of 2%), contractually set to reduce to LIBOR plus 9% (with a LIBOR floor of 1.5%) effective July 2, 2020, payable on the greater of the actual aggregate unpaid principal balance, or the prescribed minimum balance under the term loan agreement. The total available loan capital under the Credit Facility was $60 million with a maturity date of July 2, 2022.
On February 28, 2020, in conjunction with the Liquid Sale, Mogo repaid and extinguished its Credit facility – Liquid, which held a principal outstanding balance of approximately $
28,683 immediately prior to derecognition. As part of extinguishing the facility in advance of its maturity, Mogo recognized a prepayment penalty of $2,500 of which $1,500 was payable in cash and of which $1,000 was settled in shares on March 5, 2020, through the issuance of 306,842 Common Shares, priced at $3.26 per share.
On June 29, 2020, the Company amended its Credit facility. The amendments decreased the available loan capital from $
60 million to $50 million and reduced the prescribed minimum balances applicable in the calculation of interest as described above. There is a 0.33% fee on the available but undrawn portion of the $50 million facility.
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.

Credit facility is subject to certain covenants and events of default. As of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company was in compliance with these covenants. Interest expense on both credit facilities is included in credit facility interest expense in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.
The Company has pledged financial instruments as collateral against its credit facilities. Under the terms of the general security agreement, assets pledged as collateral primarily include cash and cash equivalents with a balance of $154 (December 31, 2020 - $892) and loans receivable with a carrying amount equal to $55,832 (December 31, 2020 - $47,227).
 
14.
Debentures
On September 30, 2020, the Company and its debenture holders approved certain amendments to the terms of the debentures, with an effective date of July 1, 2020. Among other things, the amendments include:
 
  i)
a reduction in the weighted average coupon interest rate, from approximately 14% to approximately 7% and the extension of the maturity date for 50% of the principal balance to January 31, 2023, and the remainder to January 31, 2024;
 
  ii)
replacement of the former monthly interest payable by a new quarterly payment (the “
Quarterly Payment
”), the amount of which is fixed at 12% per annum (3% per quarter) of the principal balance of the debentures as at September 29, 2020. Debenture holders received an election to either receive the Quarterly Payment as a) an interest payment of 8% per annum (2% per quarter) with the remainder of the payment going towards reducing the principal balance of the debenture, or b) a reduction of the principal balance of the debenture equal to the amount of the Quarterly Payment;
 
  iii)
settlement of the new Quarterly Payment on the first business day following the end of a calendar quarter at the Company’s option either in cash or Common Shares; and
 
  iv)
an option for all debenture holders to receive a
lump-sum
payout of their previously unpaid interest for the period from March 1, 2020 to June 30, 2020, at a reduced interest rate of 10%. Those who elected this option were paid in Common Shares in October 2020.

Debentures
(Continued from previous page)
 
 
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.
The Company’s debentures balance includes the following:

Convertible debentures
On June 6, 2017, the Company issued 10% convertible debentures of $15,000 aggregate principal amount at a price of one thousand dollars per debenture, with a maturity date of May 31, 2020. On May 27, 2020, the Company amended the remaining $12,621 principal value of convertible debentures (the “

On February 24, 2021, in connection with a registered direct offering, the Company issued stock warrants to investors to purchase up to an aggregate of 2,673,268 Common Shares at an exercise price of US$11.00 at any time prior to three and a half years following the date of issuance.
On December 13, 2021, as part of a registered direct offering, the Company issued stock warrants to investors to purchase up to an aggregate of
 3,055,556 Common Shares at an exercise price of US$4.70 at any time prior to three and a half years following the date of issuance.

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).

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:

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.

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.
Acquisition-related costs of $379 not directly attributable to the issuance of the Common Shares are included in other
non-operating
(income) expenses in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss and in operating cash flows in the consolidated statement of cash flows.
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.

(Continued from previous page)
In the period May 4, 2021 to December 31, 2021, the operations of Moka contributed revenue of $5,977 and net loss of ($2,519). If the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2021, management estimates that proforma revenue would have been $8,885 and proforma net loss from the operations of Moka would have been ($6,283) 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.
The acquisition is expected to bring differentiated saving and investing products to broaden Mogo’s wealth offering and accelerate the growth of its high-margin subscription and transaction-based revenue.
The following tables summarizes the fair value of consideration transferred, and its allocation to estimated fair values assigned to each major class of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the May 4, 2021 acquisition date.

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.

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 include
d
 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.

Immediately prior to the exercise of Call Option on June 4, 2021, the Company fair valued its Call Option and Put Option to $5,513 and $nil respectively, and recorded revaluation gains of $1,582 and $5,696 respectively on these instruments in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2021. The exercise of Call Option resulted in the immediate expiry of the Put Option, accounted for through a derecognition of the Call Option and Put Option derivative assets from the consolidated statement of financial position and a corresponding increase to the investment in Coinsquare.
The fair value of the Coinsquare Warrant, Call Option, Put Option and New Call Option were estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:

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.

The Company has been closely monitoring developments related to
COVID-19,
including the existing and potential impact on its investment portfolio. As a result of the ongoing and developing
COVID-19
pandemic and its resulting impact on the global economy, the Company believes that there is increased uncertainty to input factors on fair value of our Level 3 investments, including revenue multiples, time to exit events and increased equity volatility.

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.

Nature and extent of risk arising from financial instruments
(Continued from previous page)
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. See Note 14 for further details.

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.

Other price risk
Other market price risk is the risk that the fair value of the financial instrument will fluctuate as a result of changes in market prices (other than those arising from interest rate risks or currency risk), whether caused by factors specific to an individual investment or its issuers or factors affecting all instruments traded in the market. Our investment portfolio comprises of
non-listed
closely held equity instruments which have minimal exposure to market prices. 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.

When an RSU fully vests, the holder will receive a Common Share.
 The maximum number of shares which may be made subject to issuance under RSUs awarded under the RSU Plan is 500,000.
