NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN
Snipp Interactive Inc. (the “Company” or “Snipp”) was incorporated under theBusiness Corporations Act(British Columbia) on January 21, 2010 and its business is to provide a full suite of mobile marketing, rebates and loyalty solutions in the US, Canada and internationally.
Unless otherwise indicated in these consolidated financial statements, references to “$” are to U.S. dollars.
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business.
The registered address, head office, principal address and records office of the Company are located at 1605 Connecticut Ave NW, 4th Floor, Washington, DC, 20009.
The consolidated financial statements were authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors on May 30, 2017.
GOING CONCERN
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business.
The Company has a working capital deficiency of $1,229,695 (December 31, 2016 - $189,721), a net loss of $1,628,264 for the three months ended March 31, 2017, accumulated deficit of $18,580,271 and negative cash flows from operations. These conditions raise significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The application of the going concern concept is dependent on the Company’s ability to receive continued financial support from its stakeholders and, ultimately, on the Company’s ability to generate profitable operations. Management is of the opinion that sufficient working capital is available from its financings and will be obtained from operations to meet the Company's liabilities and commitments as they come due for the next twelve months. These condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not reflect any adjustments or reclassifications of assets and liabilities which would be necessary if the Company were unable to continue as a going concern.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Statement of Compliance
These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, ‘‘Interim Financial Reporting’’ (IAS 34), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES(cont’d…)
Basis of consolidation
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned legal subsidiaries Snipp Interactive Inc. (formerly Consumer Impulse, Inc.), which was incorporated in Delaware, USA, Snipp Interactive (India) Private Limited, which was incorporated in India, Snipp Interactive Limited (formerly Swiss Post Solutions Ireland Limited), which was incorporated in Ireland, Snipp Interactive Limited, which was incorporated in the United Kingdom, Snipp Interactive AG, which was incorporated in Switzerland, Hip Digital, Inc., which was incorporated in Delaware, USA and Hip Digital Media Inc., which was incorporated in British Columbia, Canada. All material inter- company balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Use of estimates
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Significant assumptions about the future and other sources of estimation uncertainty that management has made at the end of the reporting period, that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets, liabilities, and equity in the event that actual results differ from assumptions made, relate to, but are not limited to, the following:
i)
The recoverability of accounts receivable that are included in the consolidated statements of financial position are based on historical collection of receivables.
ii)
The inputs used in accounting for share-based payments expense included in profit and loss calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model (Note 8).
iii)
The carrying value of intangible assets (capitalized software development, customer relationships, intellectual property and music label contracts) that are included in the consolidated statements of financial position are based on management assessments of the recoverable amount of the asset. As well, management estimates the capitalized costs that are directly attributable to the development of the intangible asset (Note 6).
iv)
The estimates used in determining the fair value for the Derivative Liability, which is composed of valuations of Financing warrants, utilizes estimates made by management in determining the appropriate input variables in the Black-Scholes valuation model.
v)
The carrying value of goodwill and intangibles acquired from acquisitions and estimates on any assumptions underlying the analysis of impairment (Note 6).
vi)
The purchase price allocation corresponding to completed acquisitions and the related contingent considerations.

Revenue recognition
The Company provides a full suite of promotions-related marketing services in the US, Canada and internationally, and generates revenue by designing, constructing, implementing and managing these promotions marketing services for its customers. Revenue is recognized in the period in which the services are rendered to the customer and collection is reasonably assured. Development fees are recorded as revenue when the set-up is complete, or on a percentage of completion basis for long-term developments. Monthly maintenance and loyalty catalyst services are recorded as revenue in the month which services are provided. Cash received in advance of services performed is recorded as deferred revenue.
Arrangements with multiple deliverables
Many of the Company’s arrangements with customers include multiple items such as campaign development and campaign management which are delivered at varying times. In these cases, the Company treats the delivered items as separate units of accounting if they have value to the customer on a stand-alone basis and, where the arrangement includes a general right of return relative to the delivered item, delivery or performance of undelivered items is considered probable and substantially in the Company’s control. The Company allocates the total arrangement consideration to all deliverables using its best estimate of their relative fair value, since vendor-specific objective or third party evidence of the selling price is generally unavailable. It then recognizes revenue on the different deliverables in accordance with the policies set out above.
Recent accounting pronouncements
IFRS 9 was issued in November 2009 and subsequently amended as part of an ongoing project to replace IAS 39 Financial instruments: Recognition and measurement. The standard introduces new requirements for classifying and measuring financial assets and liabilities. The effective date of IFRS 9 is January 1, 2018. The Company intends to adopt the standard on its effective date and has not yet evaluated the impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In May 2014, the IASB issued IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“IFRS 15”). ��IFRS 15 is effective for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018 and is to be applied retrospectively. IFRS 15 clarifies the principles for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers. IFRS 15 will also result in enhanced disclosures about revenue, provide guidance for transactions that were not previously addressed comprehensively (i.e. service revenue and contract modifications) and improve guidance for multiple-element arrangements. Management is in the process of determining the extent of the impact of adoption of IFRS 15 and the possibility of early adoption.
IFRS 16, “Leases”, will be effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019. The most significant change introduced by IFRS 16 is a single lessee accounting model, bringing leases on balance sheet for lessees. Management anticipates that this standard will be adopted in the Company's consolidated financial statements for the year beginning January 1, 2019 and has not yet considered the potential impact of the adoption of IFRS 16.

Fair value
Fair value estimates of financial instruments are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant information about financial markets and specific financial instruments. As these estimates are subjective in nature, involving uncertainties and matters of significant judgment, they cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions can significantly affect estimated fair values.
The carrying value of accounts receivable, due to Swiss Post, due to related parties and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments while cash and marketable securities are valued using a level 1 fair value measurement. The derivative liability and the acquisition consideration is valued using a level 3 fair value measurement.

Financial risk factors
The Company’s risk exposures and the impact on the Company’s financial statements are summarized below.
Credit risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a significant concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company places its cash with major financial institutions to limit risk from cash and cash equivalents. The maximum exposure to credit risk is equal to the fair value or carrying value of the related financial assets. The Company’s receivables consist of amounts due from customers. Some customers send payment past normal trade terms and in cases where amounts become uncollectible the Company recognizes bad debt expense to write off the uncollectible amounts. At March 31, 2017, the Company had $813,026 (December 31, 2016 - $1,981,343) in amounts due from customers greater than 90 days and during fiscal 2016 recognized bad debt expense of $51,410 (2015 - $103,903 and 2014 - $42,582).

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS(cont’d…)
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its obligations as they become due. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to receive continued financial support from its stakeholders and, ultimately, on the Company’s ability to generate continued profitable operations. Management is of the opinion that sufficient working capital is available from its financings and will be obtained from operations to meet the Company's liabilities and commitments as they come due. The Company manages its liquidity risk by forecasting cash flows from operations and anticipating any investing and financing activities. Management and the Board of Directors are actively involved in the review, planning and approval of significant expenditures and commitments.
The application of the going concern concept is dependent on the Company’s ability to receive continued financial support from its stakeholders and, ultimately, on the Company’s ability to generate profitable operations. Management is of the opinion that sufficient working capital is available from its financings and will be obtained from operations to meet the Company's liabilities and commitments as they come due for the next twelve months. These consolidated financial statements do not reflect any adjustments or reclassifications of assets and liabilities which would be necessary if the Company were unable to continue as a going concern. During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company announced that it had secured a four million dollar credit facility with Silicon Valley Bank. The credit facility is an accounts receivable line of credit to provide the Company with additional working capital. As at December 31, 2016, the Company had drawn on $2,000,000 of the credit facility. The credit facility has a maturity date of November 22, 2017 and is secured by the Company’s intellectual property, which consists of all recognized and unrecognized intangible assets. The credit facility bears interest at a range of prime plus 1.25% to 2.5%, during the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company incurred $5,514 in interest expense. The Company is required to comply with certain financial covenants on a monthly basis, as at, and during, the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.
Market risk
Market risk is the risk of loss that may arise from changes in market factors such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates and commodity and equity prices. Such fluctuations may be significant.
a)
Interest rate risk
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk to the extent that the cash maintained at financial institutions is subject to a floating rate of interest. The interest rate risks on cash and on the Company’s obligations are not considered significant. A plus or minus 1% change in interest rates would affect profit or loss and comprehensive profit or loss by approximately nil (2016 - nil).
b)
Foreign currency risk
The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk on fluctuations related to cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities that are denominated in a foreign currency. As at December 31, 2016, the Company held cash and cash equivalents as well as accounts payable and accrued liabilities denominated in the Canadian dollar, European Euro, British Pound, Swiss Franc, and Indian Rupee and considers foreign currency risk low. The majority of the Company's foreign currency amounts are held in Canadian dollars. A plus or minus 1% change in Canadian foreign exchange rates would affect profit or loss and comprehensive profit or loss by less than $1,000 (2016 - $1,000).

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On May 5, 2017, the Company announced a non-brokered private placement financing (the “Financing”) of up to C$4,500,000 with C$1,416,500 already subscribed and closed as a first tranche (the “First Tranche”) on May 19, 2017. The Financing will be comprised of up to 45,000,000 common shares (“Shares”) at a price of C$0.10 per Share with the First Tranche representing 14,165,000 Shares. No commissions or finder's fees were paid in connection with the First Tranche. The net proceeds raised through the Financing will be used for sales and marketing and general working capital purposes. As part of the First Tranche, Lark Investments Inc. (“Lark”), an insider and the Company’s largest shareholder, acquired 4,000,000 Shares, representing approximately 2.73% of Snipp’s issued and outstanding common shares. Further, Lark has also subscribed for an additional 21,000,000 Shares, subject to Snipp obtaining disinterested shareholder approval for such issuance. If such additional Shares are issued, Lark would have beneficial ownership and control of an aggregate of 48,152,060 common shares of Snipp representing approximately 28.71% of Snipp’s issued and outstanding common shares, assuming that no other additional common shares have been issued. As part of the subscription agreement with Lark, Snipp must obtain Lark's approval if any stock option grants will result in an option pool that is greater than 10% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company.
