Pursuant to the NCIB, the Company may, during the 12-month period commencing May 20, 2021 and ending May 20, 2022, purchase up to 7,170 common shares of the Company ("Common Shares"), being approximately 5% of the total 143,404 Common Shares issued and outstanding as of April 30, 2021. The Company repurchased 6,447 of common shares in the amount of $17,156 as of March 31, 2022. The purpose of the purchase of common shares under the NCIB is to enable the Company to acquire shares to satisfy the RSU Plan (see Note 10(D)) for more information. The NCIB shall terminate on the earlier of May 22, 2022 and the date on which the maximum number of Common Shares purchasable under the NCIB is acquired by the Company.
The Company appointed CWB Trust Services (the "Trustee") as the trustee for the purposes of arranging for the acquisition of Common Shares and to hold the Common Shares in trust for the purposes of satisfying restricted share unit ("RSU") payments well as deal with other administration matters. Through the Trustee, RBC Capital Markets has been engaged to undertake purchases under the NCIB. RBC Capital Markets is required to comply with the TSXV NCIB rules in respect of the purchases of Common Shares as the Trustee is a non-independent trustee by the TSXV for the purposes of the NCIB rules.
The Common Shares acquired will be held by the Trustee until the same are sold in the market with the proceeds to be transferred to designated participants or until the Common Shares are delivered to designated participants, in each case under the terms of the Company's equity incentive plans to satisfy the Company's obligations in respect of redemptions of vested RSUs held by such designated participants.

A total of 250 Common Shares have been released from the trust to satisfy the Company's obligations in respect of redemptions of vested RSU held by designated participants.
On June 15, 2021 Real's common shares began trading on the NASDAQ Capital Market (the "NASDAQ") under the symbol "REAX". Trading of the Common Shares will continue on the TSXV under the same symbol, "REAX". The purpose of the NASDAQ listing is to enhance shareholder value through improved visibility and increased trading liquidity.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the interim consolidated financial statements for the period ended March 31, 2022.
A. Basis of preparation
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). The interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company's annual audited consolidated financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2021. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements were authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors on May 6, 2022.
B. Significant judgments, estimates and assumptions
The preparation of Real's unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements require management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that effect the amounts reported. In the process of applying Real's accounting policies, management was required to apply judgment in certain areas. Estimates and assumptions made by management are based on events and circumstances that existed at the unaudited interim condensed consolidated balance sheet date. Accordingly, actual results may differ from these estimates.
The significant judgments, estimates and assumptions in the preparation of the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Company's interim consolidated financial statements for the periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.
C. Basis for segmentation
In measuring its performance, the Company does not distinguish or group its operations on a geographical or on any other basis, and accordingly has a single reportable operating segment. Management has applied judgment by aggregating its operating segments into one single reportable segment for disclosure purposes. Such judgment considers the nature of the operations, and an expectation of operating segments within a reportable segment, which have similar long-term economic characteristics.
The Company's Chief Executive Officer is the chief operating decision maker, and regularly reviews operations and performance on an aggregated basis. The Company does not have any significant customers or any significant groups of customers.
D. Basis of consolidation
i. Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Company. The Company 'controls' an entity when it is exposed to, or has the rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements from the date on which control commences until the date on which control ceases.
ii. Transactions eliminated on consolidation
Intercompany balances and transactions, and any unrealized income and expenses arising from intercompany transactions, are eliminated. Unrealized losses are eliminated in the same way unrealized gains, but only to the extent there is no evidence of impairment.
E. Functional and presentation currency
These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars, which is the Company's functional currency. All amounts have been rounded to the nearest thousands of dollars, unless otherwise noted.
F. Foreign currency translation
Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at year-end exchange rates are recognized in the consolidated statement of loss and other comprehensive loss within accumulated other comprehensive loss.
Foreign operations
The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars at exchange rates at the date of the transactions. When a foreign operation is disposed of in its entirety or partially such that control is lost, the cumulative amount in the translation reserve related to that foreign operation is reclassified to profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on disposal.
3. PIPE TRANSACTION
On December 2, 2020, the Company completed an equity investment in private equity funds indirectly controlled by Insight Holdings Group, LLC (the "Insight Partners") for gross proceeds of USD $20 million (approximately CAD $26.28 million)
Insight Partners were issued 17,287 preferred units (the "Preferred Units") of a newly and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, Real PIPE, LLC formed under the laws of the State of Delaware, that were exchangeable into the same number of Common Shares and 17,287 Common Share purchase warrants of the Company that were exercisable for Common Shares ("Warrants"). Each Warrant entitled the holder to subscribe and purchase one Common Share at an exercise price of $1.48 (CAD $1.9) for a period of 5 years, subject to certain acceleration terms.
On June 15, 2021, in connection with the listing of Real's common shares on the NASDAQ, Real delivered an Acceleration Notice to certain funds managed by Insight Partners providing for the acceleration of the expiry date to June 30, 2021, of an aggregate 17,287, previously issued Warrants. All Warrants held by Insight Partners were exercised into Common Shares for gross proceeds of $26.6 million (CAD $32.8 million) on June 28, 2021.
On August 3, 2021, Insight Partners were issued an aggregate of 17,287 Common Shares in exchange of the Insight Partners' Preferred Units in connection with the Forced Exchange Event.
4. REALTYCRUNCH ACQUISITION
On January 11, 2021, Real completed the acquisition of the business assets and intellectual property of RealtyCrunch Inc. (the "RealtyCrunch Transaction"). The RealtyCrunch Transaction was settled in cash for an aggregate purchase price of USD $1,100 plus 184 Common Share purchase warrants of Real. Each warrant is exercisable into one Common Share at a price of CAD $1.36 for a period of four years. In connection with the RealtyCrunch Transaction, Real also granted 2,441 stock options ("Options"), which vest over a 4-year period. The Company has determined the acquisition meets the definition of business combinations within the scope of IFRS 3, Business Combination and has completed the determination to allocate purchase price among the assets purchased and amount attributable to goodwill. The expense incurred related to the acquisition was $38 for the year ended December 31, 2021.
The following table summarizes the fair values of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities, with reference to the acquisition as of the acquisition date:
| | Balance at, March 31, 2022 | |
Identifiable assets acquired and goodwill | | | |
Proprietary Technology | | 563 | |
Goodwill | | 602 | |
Total Purchase Price | | 1,165 | |
Cash Paid | | 1,100 | |
Warrants Issued | | 65 | |
We have completed the valuation of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities and have assigned $563 as the fair value of the Company's developed technology and $602 as the residual goodwill.
5. SCOTT BENSON REAL ESTATE INC.
On December 3, 2021, Real completed the acquisition of the common shares of Scott Benson Real Estate Inc in Ontario, Canada. The transaction was settled in immaterial cash for an aggregate purchase price of one CAD Dollar. The Company has determined the acquisition meets the definition of business combinations within the scope of IFRS 3, Business Combination and recorded an immaterial gain from bargain purchase. The Company has 12 months from the date of purchase to determine the purchase price allocation among the purchased assets and liabilities assumed and do not expect material adjustments to the bargain gain that was recognized.
6. EXPETITLE ACQUISITION
On January 21, 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Expetitle, Inc. ("Expetitle") pursuant to a stock purchase agreement dated January 20, 2022 (the "Expetitle Transaction"). As part of the Expetitle Transaction, the Company also acquired 51% ownership of five subsidiaries of Expetitle Inc. The noncontrolling interest in these five companies is noted in Statement of Financial Position. The aggregate purchase price for 100% of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Expetitle was comprised from cash consideration of $7,432 payable at the closing of the Expetitle Transaction and contingent consideration of $800 in cash subject to escrow, that will be released after twelve (12) months upon the satisfaction or waiver of the following terms and conditions: (i) the key employees remaining at their current position with the Company for at least twelve (12) months after the Closing Date and (ii) Expetitle will become licenced to operate in at least fifteen states, including the current states of operation, Florida, Georgia, and Texas. Such contingent consideration was assessed as zero as we believe that it is probable that these conditions will not be met.
As part of the Expetitle transaction, Real also granted an aggregate of 700 Options and an aggregate of 1,100 RSUs to members of the Expetitle team. The fair value of those options was $4,766 from which $4,325 was determined to be part of the consideration and $451 that were recorded immediately to the statement of loss and comprehensive loss as post transaction employees compensation which vests immediately. The Options are exercisable for a period of 3 years at $3.60 per share. In addition and as part of the transaction, the Company also provided cash grants to the Expetitle Inc. employees in the amount of $168. The Company has determined the Expetitle Transaction meets the definition of business combinations within the scope of IFRS 3, Business Combination and has 12 months from the date of purchase to determine the purchase price allocation among the assets purchased and any amounts attributable to goodwill.

D. Restricted share unit plan
Restricted share unit plan
On September 21, 2020, the Company established a restricted share unit plan. Under the plan agents are eligible to receive RSUs that, upon vesting, entitled the holder to a Common Share or cash payment in lieu of a Common Share. The RSUs are earned in recognition of personal performance and ability to attract agents to Real. The expense recognized in relation to these awards for the period ended March 31, 2022 was $603. The stock compensation attributable to agent growth was classified as marketing expense. The stock compensation award granted to FTEs was classified as General and Administrative expense on the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss.
RSUs awarded in the agent incentive program purchase plan are based on a percentage of commission withheld to purchase Common Shares. These RSUs are expensed in the period in which those awards are deemed to be earned with a corresponding increase in liability. All awards under this plan are subject to a 12-month holding period. The liability will be classified into equity after the 12-month holding period has passed. The company will grant an additional 25% of shares as a bonus after the 12-month holding period has passed. The bonus RSUs are expensed in the period the original award is deemed earned with a corresponding increase in stock-based compensation reserve.
RSUs awarded for personal performance and the ability to attract agents earned in recognition of personal performance conditions and are subject to a 3-year vesting period. The Company recognizes this expense during the applicable vesting period based upon the best available estimate of the number of equity instruments expected to vest with a corresponding increase in stock-based compensation reserve.

B. Transfers between levels
During the periods ended March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there have been no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3.
C. Financial risk management
The Company has exposure to the following risks arising from financial instruments:
- credit risk (see (ii));
- liquidity risk (see (iii));
- market risk (see (iv)); and
- investment risk (see (v)).
i. Risk management framework
The Company's activity exposes it to a variety of financial risks, including credit risk, liquidity risk, market risk and investment risk. These financial risks are managed by the Company under policies approved by the Board of Directors. The principal financial risks are actively managed by the Company's finance department, within the policies and guidelines.
On an ongoing basis, the finance department actively monitors the market conditions, with a view of minimizing exposure of the Company to changing market factors, while at the same time limiting the funding costs of the Company.
The Company's audit committee oversees how management monitors compliance with the Company's risk management policies and procedures and reviews the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the risks faced by the Company.
ii. Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations and arises principally from the Company's receivables from customers. The receivables are processed through an intermediary trustee, as part of the structure of every deal, which ensures collection on the close of a successful transaction. In order to mitigate the residual risk, the Company contracts exclusively with reputable and credit-worthy partners.
Loss rates are calculated using a 'roll rate' method based on the probability of a receivable progressing through successive stages of delinquency to write-off. Roll rates are calculated separately for exposures in different CGUs based on the following common credit risk characteristics - geographic region, credit information about the customer and the type of home purchased.
Loss rates are based on actual credit loss experience. These rates are multiplied by scalar factors to reflect differences between economic conditions during the period over which the historical data has been collected, compared to current conditions of the Company's view of economic conditions over the expected lives of the receivables.
The carrying amount of financial assets and contract assets represents the maximum credit exposure.
Trade receivables and contract assets
The Company's exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. However, management also considers other factors may influence the credit risk of the customer base, including the default risk associated with the industry and the country in which the customers operate.
The Company does not require collateral in respect to trade and other receivables. The Company does not have trade receivable and contract assets for which no loss allowance is recognized because of collateral.
As at March 31, 2022, the exposure to credit risk for trade receivables and contract asset by geographic region was as follows:
| | March 31, 2022 | | | December 31, 2021 | |
US | | 121 | | | 230 | |
Other Regions | | 230 | | | 24 | |
Trade Receivables | | 351 | | | 254 | |
The Company uses an allowance matrix to measure the ECLs of trade receivables from individual customers, which comprise a very large number of small balances.
iii. Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Company's approach to maintaining liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient cash and cash equivalents and other liquid assets to meet its liabilities when they are due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company's reputation.
iv. Market risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices - e.g. foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices - will affect the Company's income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimizing the return.
Currency risk
The Company is exposed to transactional foreign currency risk to the extent there is a mismatch between currencies in which purchases and receivables are denominated and the respective functional currencies of the Company. The currencies in which transactions are primarily denominated are US dollars, Israeli shekel and Canadian dollar.
Sensitivity analysis
A reasonably possible strengthening (weakening) of the US dollar (USD), Israeli shekel (ILS), or Canadian Dollar (CAD) against all other currencies in which the Company operates as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 would have affected the measurement of financial instruments denominated in a foreign currency and affected equity and profit or loss by the amounts shown below. This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular interest rates, remain constant and ignores any impact of forecast sales and purchases.
| | Average Rate | | | Period-end Spot Rate | |
| | Strengthening | | | Weakening | | | Strengthening | | | Weakening | |
Balance at, March 31, 2022 | | | | | | | | | | | | |
CAD (-5% movement) | | 8 | | | (8 | ) | | 10 | | | (10 | ) |
ILS (-5% movement) | | 20 | | | (20 | ) | | 65 | | | (65 | ) |
Balance at, December 31, 2021 | | | | | | | | | | | | |
CAD (-5% movement) | | 43 | | | (43 | ) | | 4 | | | (4 | ) |
ILS (-5% movement) | | 39 | | | (39 | ) | | 54 | | | (54 | ) |
Foreign Currency Risk Management

| | Liabilities | | | Assets | |
| | March 31, 2022 | | | December 31, 2021 | | | March 31, 2022 | | | December 31, 2021 | |

ILS | | (109 | ) | | (1,420 | ) | | 7,934 | | | 191 | |
Total Exposure | | (14,082 | ) | | (2,751 | ) | | 21,950 | | | 3,482 | |
v. Investment risk
The Company invested funds from the Insight Partners investment transaction into a managed investment portfolio, exposing it to risk of losses based on market fluctuations. Securities are purchased on behalf of the Company and are actively managed through multiple investment accounts. Funds apportioned for investment are allocated accordingly to the investment guidelines set forth by Management. Investments are made in U.S. currency.
