Business overview and strategy
Real is a growing multistate technology-powered real estate brokerage in the United States. We focus our operations on development of technology that helps real estate agents perform better as well as building a scalable, efficient brokerage operation that is not dependent on a cost-heavy brick and mortar presence in the markets that we operate in.

Business overview and strategy (cont'd)
As a licensed real estate brokerage, our revenue is generated, primarily, by processing real estate transactions which entitle us to commissions. We pay a portion of our commission revenue to our agents and brokers.
Our strength is our ability to offer real estate agents a higher value, through a proprietary technology stack, at a lower cost, compared to other brokerages, while operating efficiently and scaling quickly.
Accelerated Growth
Following our listing on the Toronto Venture Exchange (the "TSXV") and the Nasdaq Capital Market (the "Nasdaq"), as well as the launch of our Agent Equity Program, we have entered into a period of growth, driven by an increase in the number of agents joining us on a monthly basis, as well as higher productivity of those newer cohorts. The growth is now well reflected in our Q3 2021 revenue figures and we expect this trend to continue in the following quarters.
Our non-brick and mortar based model is becoming increasingly desirable, enabling agents to work from anywhere, without being tied to a physical office by leveraging our best-in-class technology.
Focus on Technology
The real estate industry has been very slow at adopting technology and real estate transactions remain notoriously difficult to manage. We believe there is an opportunity to create agent focused software products that will create a differentiation between Real and other brokerages. We also acknowledge that profitability in our industry is closely tied to the improvement of internal operations efficiency through automation and the ability to scale and expand rapidly.
We also see a tremendous opportunity in improving the home buying and selling experience for consumers using technology while keeping real estate agents in the center of the transaction. This approach will enable consumers to enjoy a faster, smoother and more enjoyable digital based journey and still benefit from having a human real estate expert guiding them through this exciting and highly emotional transaction. We are starting to allocate resources towards building the technology that will help us capitalize on this opportunity.
Recent developments
Share Split
On July 12, 2021, the Company implemented a forward split of all of its issued and outstanding Common Shares on the basis of four (4) post-split Common Shares for each one (1) pre-split Common Share (the "Share Split").
Forced Exchange Event
On August 3, 2021certain funds managed by Insight Venture Management LLC ("Insight Partners") were issued an aggregate of 17,287 post-Share Split Common Shares in the exchange of all of the Insight Partners' Preferred issued and outstanding preferred units of Real Pipe, LLC ("Real PIPE" and the "Preferred Units").
The issuance of Common Shares (the "Forced Exchange") followed Real's listing on Nasdaq on June 15, 2021. In connection with the Nasdaq listing, Real delivered a "Forced Exchange Notice" to Insight Partners providing for the exchange of previously issued Preferred Units issued to Insight Partners pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement between Real, Real PIPE and Insight Partners dated December 2, 2020.
As of the date of this MD&A, Insight Partners controls approximately 17.73% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares on a fully diluted basis.

International Expansion
On August 16, 2021, the Company announced it has launched in Alberta, Canada as "Real Broker AB", this marking the launch of its first international operations.
Business Strategy
Revenue-share model
As the vast majority of real estate agents are independent contractors, we believe that it is our responsibility to create multiple revenue sources and improve financial opportunities for agents. Our attractive commission split coupled with the equity incentives for agents provide great opportunities. We are now offering agents the opportunity to earn revenue-share, paid out of Real's portion of commissions, for new agents that they personally refer to Real. The program launched in November 2019 is having a major impact on our agent count and revenue growth.
We are witnessing momentum in several markets, attributed to the enthusiasm generated locally by influential agents who continue to join Real and attract their colleagues to Real.
Agent's experience
We focus on creating an unparalleled agent experience through development of a unique and comprehensive mobile platform. At its core, our technology is an operating system that allows agents to build their business more rapidly, assisting them with their marketing, productivity, support, education, transaction management and more.
As part of those efforts, on August 8th, 2021, we launched a new and improved agent mobile application that delivers our agents better visibility into their business, transactions and financials. We continue to develop new features for the benefit of our agents.
Focus on teams
Real estate teams operate as "brokerages inside a brokerage". A team is typically formed by a high producing agent who attracts other agents to work with them and enjoy the lead flow and mentoring provided by the team leader. To attract teams, we enhanced our team offering to include the full benefits of revenue sharing and the equity program to allow brokers and agents a financial mechanism to build teams across geographical boundaries in any of the markets that we serve without incurring significant additional expense, oversight responsibility, or liability while preserving and enhancing the agents and brokers' personal brands. The growth in brokerage teams joining Real is having a positive impact, as reflected in third quarter revenue growth.

Objectives
Real seeks to become one of the leading real estate brokerages in the United States and Canada. Using our proprietary technology, we look to provide agents with all the tools they need in order to manage and market their business and succeed. Real plans to accomplish this through: (i) proprietary integration of technology and tools focused on facilitating and improving tasks performed by agents. (ii) the offering of attractive business terms to agents and creation of multiple potential revenue streams for agents. (iii) providing excellent support and service to our agents. (iv) the creation of a nationwide collaborative community of agents, and (v) offering wealth building opportunities through equity grants.
Leveraging the engagement of real estate agents and homebuyers and sellers, Real will seek to generate revenue through a variety of different channels.
Presentation of financial information and non-IFRS measures
Presentation of financial information
Unless otherwise specified herein, financial results, including historical comparatives, contained in this MD&A are based on Real's Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and the interpretations of the IFRS Interpretations Committee. Unless otherwise specified, amounts are in U.S dollars and percentage changes are calculated using whole numbers.
Non-GAAP measures
In addition to the reported IFRS measures, industry practice is to evaluate entities giving consideration to certain non-GAAP performance measures, such as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") or adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA").
Management believes that these measures are helpful to investors because they are measures that the Company uses to measure performance relative to other entities. In addition to IFRS results, these measures are also used internally to measure the operating performance of the Company.
These measures are not in accordance with GAAP and have no standardized definitions, and as such, our computations of these non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to measures by other reporting issuers. In addition, Real's method of calculating non-GAAP measures may differ from other reporting issuers, and accordingly, may not be comparable.
Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization
EBITDA is used as an alternative to net income because it excludes major non-cash items such as interest, taxes and amortization, which management considers non-operating in nature. A reconciliation of EBITDA to IFRS net income is presented under the section "Results from Operations" of this MD&A.
Adjusted Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization
Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information about our financial performance and allows for greater transparency with respect to a key metric used by the Company for financial and operational decision-making. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA helps identify underlying trends in our business that otherwise could be masked by the effect of the expenses that we exclude in Adjusted EBITDA. In particular, we believe the exclusion of stock and stock option expenses, provides a useful supplemental measure in evaluating the performance of our operations and provides better transparency into our results of operations.

For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2021, total revenues amounted to $71,202 compared to $9,469 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020, thus demonstrating the early effects of the Company's growth. During the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2021 all revenues were resulting from our core business activities. The increase in revenues is attributable to an increase in productive agents on our platform, as well as expanding the number of states in which we operate. We are continually investing in the acquisition of productive agents on our platform, which we anticipate will further translate into a larger transaction volume closed by our agents.
The primary impact on Adjusted EBITDA is stock-based compensation expense, which is a key contributor to Real's growth and retention of agents, full time employees and management personnel. Stock-based compensation expense is affected by awards granted and/or awards forfeited throughout the year as well as increases in fair value and is more fully disclosed in Note 11, Share-based payment arrangements, of the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

Results from operations (cont'd)
The total cost of sales for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2021 was $64,216 in comparison to $8,063 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020. We typically pay our agents 85% of the gross commission earned on every real estate transaction and, as the total revenue increases, the total commission to agents' expense increases accordingly. Our margins are affected by the increase in the number of agents who cap, the increase in volume and increases in unit prices, resulting in a downward pressure as we continue to attract high producing agents.
Our compensation expenses for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2021 was $6,659 in comparison to $667 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020. The increase in compensation expenses were mainly due to an increase in stock-based compensation expense of $4,713 in comparison to $336 for the prior year largely driven by an increase in fair value, as well as additional grants directly related to acquisitions and as part of Real's equity compensation program. Stock-based compensation expense and stock option expense are significant recurring expenses in our business and an important part of both our agent attraction and compensation strategy. The salaries and benefits expenses for the nine-month period end September 30, 2021, were $1,946 in comparison to $331 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020, related to increases in headcount. As the Company continues in this period of accelerated growth, it is necessary to scale operations in order to support that growth.
At September 30, 2021, Real had 50 full time employees which was an increase from 18 full time employees at September 30, 2020. The increase is attributable to Real's commitment to better serve its agents and to the growth and expansion of the Company. These investments in key management and employee personnel allow us to offer best in class service to our agents. This, as well as the investments Real is making in its technology infrastructure, enable us to continue to scale at an accelerated pace and serve as key contributors to our growth. With year over year revenue growth at 885%, we believe we have proven our ability to do so in a highly efficient manner and with minimal impact on our operational costs.
Our consultancy expenses for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2021 was $2,286 in comparison to $896 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020. The increase in consultancy expenses was largely due to an increase in legal and professional fees associated with our listing on Nasdaq and the acquisition of RealtyCrunch.
Our marketing expenses for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2021, was $3,060 compared to $449 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020, due to our efforts to attract agents. This increase is primarily comprised of $2,282 in revenue share paid to agents, as part of our revenue share model. Agents earn revenue-share for new agents that they personally refer to Real.

Quarterly trends and risks
Our quarterly results are dependent on the economic conditions within the markets for which we operate. The Company's revenue and income can experience considerable variations from quarter to quarter and year to year due to factors beyond the Company's control. The business is affected by the overall conditions of the real estate market, influenced primarily by economic growth, interest rates, unemployment, inventory, and mortgage rate volatility. The Company's revenue from a real estate transaction is recorded only when a real estate transaction has been closed. Consequently, the timing of revenue recognition can materially affect quarterly results.
For the first half of 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic adversely affected the Company's business and business worldwide

The Company has various financing sources to fund operations and will continue to fund working capital needs through these sources along with cash flows generated from operating activities.
At September 30, 2021, cash and cash equivalents totaled $36,077, an increase from $21,226 at December 31, 2020. Cash is comprised of cash, money market funds and financial instruments with an original maturity of 90 days or less from the date of purchase.
During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2021, financing activities contributed cash of $26,522 and used cash of $3,834, mainly due to purchases of Common Shares for the RSU plan ($3,772). Cash flows from operations contributed $2,284 in comparison to $818 at the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020. Cash flows from investing activities used cash of $10,055, mainly due to investments in securities available for sale at fair value ($8,890).
We believe that our existing balances of cash and cash flows expected to be generated from our operations will be sufficient to satisfy our operating requirements for at least the next three years.
Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including our level of investment in technology, our rate of growth into new markets, and potential mergers and acquisitions. Our capital requirements may be affected by factors that we cannot control such as the residential real estate market, interest rates, and other monetary and fiscal policy changes to the manner in which we currently operate. To support and achieve our future growth plans, however, we may need or seek to obtain additional funding through equity or debt financing.

Liquidity and capital resources (cont'd)
Contractual obligations
As at September 30, 2021, the Company had no guarantees, leases, off-balance sheet arrangements other than those noted in our results from operations. We have a lease for our New York office that expires on September 30, 2023. The monthly rent expense per the lease for the period ended September 30, 2021 is $7 per month.
Capital management framework
Real defines capital as equity. The Company's capital management framework is designed to maintain a level of capital that funds the operations and business strategies and builds long-term shareholder value.
The Company's objective is to manage its capital structure in such a way as to diversify its funding sources, while minimizing its funding costs and risks. For 2021, Real expects to be able to satisfy all of its financing requirements through use of some or all of the following: cash on hand, cash generated by operations, sale of securities held for investment, and through the public and private offerings of equity securities.
Investment securities available for sale at fair value
The Company invested surplus funds from the PIPE financing activities with Insight Partners into a managed investment portfolio. Securities are purchased on behalf of the Company and are actively managed through multiple investment accounts. The Company follows a conservative investment approach with limited risk for investment activities and has allocated the funds in Level 1 assets to reduce market risk exposure.
The Company's investment securities portfolio consists primarily of cash investments, debt securities issued by U.S government agencies, local municipalities and certain corporate entities. For the period ended September 30, 2021, the total investment in securities available for sale at fair value was $8,893 and is more fully disclosed in Note 14, Investment securities available for sale at fair value, of the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

Significant accounting policies and other explanatory information
The preparation of the Financial Statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the related disclosures as of the date of the Company's annual condensed consolidated financial statements. Actual results may differ from estimates under different assumptions and conditions.
Significant judgments include the timing of revenue recognition and consolidation adjustments. Our significant judgments have been reviewed and approved by the Audit Committee for completeness of disclosure on what management believes would be relevant and useful to investors in interpreting the amounts and disclosures in our annual condensed consolidated financial statements.
Changes in accounting policies
Amendments to IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements ("IAS 1") and IAS 8, Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors ("IAS 8") - Definition of Material
In October 2018, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8 to align the definition of "material" across the standards and to clarify certain aspects of the definition. The new definition states that, "Information is material if omitting, misstating or obscuring it could reasonably be expected to influence decisions that the primary users of general purpose financial statements make on the basis of those financial statements, which provide financial information about a specific reporting entity." These amendments are effective January 1, 2020. The amendments to the definition of material have not had a significant impact on the Company's Financial Statements.
Future changes in accounting policies
The Company monitors the potential changes proposed by the IASB and analyzes the effect that changes in the standards may have on the Company's operations. Standards issued but not yet effective up to the date of issuance of the Financial Statements are described below. This description is of the standards and interpretations issued that the Company reasonably expects to be applicable at a future date. The Company intends to adopt these standards when they become effective.

Future changes in accounting policies (cont'd)
In January 2020, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements: Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-Current to clarify how to classify debt and other liabilities as current or non-current, and in particular how to classify liabilities with an uncertain settlement rate and liabilities that may be settled by converting to equity. These amendments are effective on or after January 1, 2023. The Company does not expect any material impact from the adoption of these amendments.
In May 2020, the IASB issued Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2018 - 2020 Cycle. The improvements have amended four standards with effective date January 1, 2022: i) IFRS 1 - First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards in relation to allowing a subsidiary to measure cumulative translation differences using amounts reported by its parent, ii) IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments in relation to which fees an entity includes when applying the "10 percent" test for derecognition of financial liabilities, iii) IAS 41 - Agriculture in relation to the exclusion of taxation cash flows when measuring the fair value of a biological asset, and iv) IFRS 16 - Leases in relation to an illustrative example of reimbursement for leasehold improvements. The Company does not expect any material impact from the adoption of these amendments.
In August 2020, the IASB issued a package of amendments to IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments, IAS 39 - Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, IFRS 7 - Financial Instruments: Disclosures, IFRS 4 - Insurance Contracts and IFRS 16 - Leases in response to the ongoing reform of inter-bank offered rates (IBOR) and other interest rate benchmarks. The amendments are aimed at helping companies to provide investors with useful information about the effects of the reform on those companies' financial statements. These amendments complement amendments issued in 2019 and focus on the effects on financial statements when a company replaces the old interest rate benchmark with an alternative benchmark rate as a result of the reform. The new amendments relate to:
● changes to contractual cash flows - a company will not be required to derecognize or adjust the carrying amount of financial instruments for changes required by the interest rate benchmark reform, but will instead update the effective interest rate to reflect the change to the alternative benchmark rate;
● hedge accounting - a company will not have to discontinue its hedge accounting solely because it makes changes required by the interest rate benchmark reform if the hedge meets other hedge accounting criteria; and
● disclosures - a company will be required to disclose information about new risks that arise from the interest rate benchmark reform and how the company manages the transition to alternative benchmark rates.
These amendments are effective on or after January 1, 2021, with early adoption permitted.
In February 2021, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements and IFRS Practice Statement 2: Disclosure of Accounting policies which require companies to disclose their material accounting policy information rather than their significant accounting policies and provide guidance on how to apply the concept of materiality to accounting policy disclosures. These amendments are effective on or after January 1, 2023. The Company does not expect any material impact from the adoption of these amendments.
In February 2021, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 8 - Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors: Definition of Accounting Estimates which clarify how companies should distinguish changes in accounting policies from changes in accounting estimates. These amendments are effective on or after January 1, 2023. The Company does not expect any material impact from the adoption of these amendments.

Disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting
Disclosure controls and procedures
The Company's Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO") have designed controls to provide reasonable assurance that: (i) material information relating to the Company is made known to management by others, particularly during the period in which the annual and interim filings are being prepared; and (ii) information required to be disclosed by the Company in its annual and interim filings or other reports filed or submitted under securities legislation is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time frame specified in the securities legislation.
Based on the evaluations, the CEO and CFO have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were adequate and effective.
Internal control over financial reporting
Real has established internal controls over financial reporting to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of the Company's financial reporting and the preparation of the Financial Statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS. Management, including the Company's CEO and CFO, have determined that as at September 30, 2021 and 2020, the internal controls over financial reporting were effective.
Inherent limitations
It should be noted that in a control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Given the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, including instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include, among other items: (i) that management's assumptions and judgments could ultimately prove to be incorrect under varying conditions and circumstances; (ii) the impact of any undetected errors;
and (iii) controls may be circumvented by unauthorized acts of individuals, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override.
Key management compensation
The Company's key management personnel are comprised of the CEO, the CFO, the Chief Product Officer, the Chief Strategy Officer, and other members of the executive team. Key management personnel compensation for the period consistent of the following:
For the period ended | September 30, 2021 | September 30, 2020 | ||||
Salaries and benefits | 816 | 488 | ||||
Short-term employee benefits | - | 6 | ||||
Consultancy | 180 | 44 | ||||
Stock-based compensation | 2,571 | 336 | ||||
Compensation expenses related to Management | 3,567 | 874 |

Market conditions and industry trends
Throughout the period ended September 30, 2021, existing home sales rose 7% since August 2021 to an annualized 6.29 million, the most since September 2020, suggesting a slight easing in home-price growth. While cooling since the end of 2020, buyer demand remains firm due to the limited number of affordable homes on the market.
According to the National Association of Realtors ("NAR") housing statistics, total housing inventory at the end of September 2021 amounted to 1.27 million units, down 13% from one year ago. At the current pace, unsold inventory represents 2.4 months of supply, down from 2.7 months in September 2020. It's common within the industry to view anything below a five month of supply as a sign of a tight market.
Low mortgage rates fueling increased demand have been causing inventory shortages in many housing markets, creating a challenging environment for home buyers. In September, properties remained on the market for an average of 17 days and nearly 86% of all homes sold were on the market for less than a month. The median existing-home price for all housing types increased 13.3% from September 2020. Additionally, 23% of all homes sold were all-cash, which is up 18% from a year ago, fueled by huge wealth gains from both housing equity and the stock market. We believe that these economic indicators represent a seller's market, making the high producing, and listing focused teams that Real is attracting even more meaningful.
According to the NAR, mortgage rates on commitments for 30-year, conventional, fixed-rate mortgages averaged 2.90% for September 2021, compared to 3.11% across all of 2020. Some lenders have increased their rates to account for the risk and overall financial uncertainty. Low mortgage rates are pushing buyers into the market as well as driving an increase in refinance applications.
Risks and uncertainties
There are a number of risk factors that could cause future results to differ materially from those described herein. The risks and uncertainties described herein are not the only ones the Company faces. Additional risks and uncertainties, including those that the Company does not know about as of the date of this MD&A, or that it currently deems immaterial, may also adversely affect the Company's business. If any of the following risks actually occur, the Company's business may be harmed, and its financial condition and the results of operation may suffer significantly.
Limited operating history
Our limited operating history makes it difficult for potential investors to evaluate our business or prospective operations. As a young company, we are subject to all the risks inherent in a developing organization, financing, expenditures, complications and delays inherent in a new business. Investors should evaluate an investment in us in light of the uncertainties encountered by developing companies in a competitive and evolving environment. Our business is dependent upon the implementation of our business plan. We may not be successful in implementing such plan and cannot guarantee that, if implemented, we will ultimately be able to attain profitability.
Managing Growth
Real may not be able to scale its business quickly enough to meet the growing needs of its affiliated real estate professionals and if Real is not able to grow efficiently, its operating results could be harmed. As Real adds new real estate professionals, Real will need to devote additional financial and human resources to improving its internal systems, integrating with third-party systems, and maintaining infrastructure performance. In addition, Real will need to appropriately scale its internal business systems and our services organization, including support of our affiliated real estate professionals as its demographics expand over time. Any failure of or delay in these efforts could cause impaired system performance and reduced real estate professional satisfaction.

Risks and uncertainties (cont'd)
Managing Growth (cont'd)
These issues could reduce the attractiveness of Real to existing real estate professionals who might leave Real and result in decreased attraction of new real estate professionals and reduced revenue and financial results.
Additional financing
From time to time, Real may need additional financing to operate or grow its business. Real's ability to obtain additional financing, if and when required, will depend on investor and lender willingness, its operating performance, the condition of the capital markets and other facts, and Real cannot assure anyone that additional financing will be available to it on favorable terms when required, or at all. If Real raises additional funds through the issuance of equity, equity-linked or debt securities, those securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to the rights of its current stock, and its existing stockholders may experience dilution. If Real is unable to obtain adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to it when it requires it, its ability to continue to support the operation or growth of its business could be significantly impaired and its operating results may be harmed.
Reliance on United States real estate market
Real's financial performance is closely tied to the strength of the residential real estate market in the United States, which is cyclical in nature and typically is affected by changes in conditions that are beyond Real's control. Macroeconomic conditions that could adversely impact the growth of the real estate market and have a material adverse effect on our business include, but are not limited to, economic slowdown or recession, increased unemployment, increased energy costs, reductions in the availability of credit or higher interest rates, increased costs of obtaining mortgages, an increase in foreclosure activity, inflation, disruptions in capital markets, declines in the stock market, adverse tax policies or changes in
other regulations, lower consumer confidence, lower wage and salary levels, or the public perception that any of these events may occur. Unfavorable general economic conditions in the United States or other markets Real enters and operates within could negatively affect the affordability of, and consumer demand for, our services which could have a material adverse effect on our business and profitability. In addition, federal and state governments, agencies and government-sponsored entities could take actions that result in unforeseen consequences to the real estate market or that otherwise could negatively impact Real's business.
Regulation of United States real estate market
Real operates in the real estate industry which is a heavily regulated industry subject to complex, federal, state, provincial and local laws and regulations and third-party organizations' regulations, policies and bylaws. Generally, the laws, rules and regulations that apply to Real's business practices include, without limitation, the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act ("RESPA"), the Fair Housing Act, the Dodd-Frank Act, and federal advertising and other laws, as well as comparable state statutes; rules of trade organizations such as NAR, local Multiple Listing Services, and state and local Associations of Realtors, licensing requirements and related obligations that could arise from our business practices relating to the provision of services other than real estate brokerage services; privacy regulations relating to our use of personal information collected from the registered users of our websites; laws relating to the use and publication of information through the Internet; and state real estate brokerage licensing requirements, as well as statutory due diligence, disclosure, record keeping and standard-of-care obligations relating to these licenses.
Additionally, the Dodd-Frank Act contains the Mortgage Reform and Anti-Predatory Lending Act (the "Mortgage Act"), which imposes a number of additional requirements on lenders and servicers of residential mortgage loans, by amending certain existing provisions and adding new sections to RESPA and other federal laws.

Risks and uncertainties (cont'd)
Regulation of United States real estate market (cont'd)
It also broadly prohibits unfair, deceptive or abusive acts or practices, and knowingly or recklessly providing substantial assistance to a covered person in violation of that prohibition. The penalties for noncompliance with these laws are also significantly increased by the Mortgage Act, which could lead to an increase in lawsuits against mortgage lenders and servicers.
Maintaining legal compliance is challenging and increases business costs due to resources required to continually monitor business practices for compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations, and to monitor changes in the applicable laws themselves.
Real may not become aware of all the laws, rules and regulations that govern its business, or be able to comply with all of them, given the rate of regulatory changes, ambiguities in regulations, contradictions in regulations between jurisdictions, and the difficulties in achieving both company-wide and region-specific knowledge and compliance.
Success of the platform
Our business strategy is dependent on our ability to develop platforms and features to attract new businesses and users, while retaining existing ones. Staffing changes, changes in user behavior, changes in agent growth rate or development of competing platforms may cause users to switch to alternative platforms or decrease their use of our platform. There is no guarantee that agents will use these features and we may fail to generate revenue. Additionally, any of the following events may cause decreased use of our platform:
● emergence of competing platforms and applications with novel technologies;
● inability to convince potential agents to join our platform;
● technical issues or delays in releasing, updating or integrating certain platforms or in the cross-compatibility of multiple platforms;
● security breaches with respect to our data;
● a rise in safety or privacy concerns; and
● an increase in the level of spam or undesired content on the network.
Management team
We are highly dependent on our management team, specifically our CEO. If we lose key employees, our business may suffer. Furthermore, our future success will also depend in part on the continued service of our key management personnel and our ability to identify, hire, and retain additional personnel. We do not carry "key-man" life insurance on the lives of our executive officers, employees or advisors. We experience intense competition for qualified personnel and may be unable to attract and retain the personnel necessary for the development of our business. Because of this competition, our compensation costs may increase significantly.
Monetization of platform
There is no guarantee that our efforts to monetize the Real platform will be successful. Furthermore, our competitors may introduce more advanced technologies that deliver a greater value proposition to realtors in the future. All these factors individually or collectively may preclude us from effectively monetizing our business which would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operation.

Risks and uncertainties (cont'd)
Seasonality of operations
Seasons and weather traditionally impact the real estate industry in the jurisdictions where Real operates. Continuous poor weather or natural disasters negatively impact listings and sales. Spring and summer seasons historically reflect greater sales periods in comparison to fall and winter seasons. Real has historically experienced lower revenues during the fall and winter seasons, as well as during periods of unseasonable weather, which reduces Real's operating income, net income, operating margins and cash flow.
Real estate listings precede sales and a period of poor listings activity will negatively impact revenue. Past performance in similar seasons or during similar weather events can provide no assurance of future or current performance, and macroeconomic shifts in the markets Real serves can conceal the impact of poor weather or seasonality.
Agent engagement
Our business model involves attracting real estate agents to our platform. There is no guarantee that growth strategies will bring new agents to our network. Changes in relationships with our partners, contractors and businesses we retain to grow our network may result in significant increases in the cost to acquire new agents. In addition, new agents may fail to engage with our network to the same extent current agents are engaging with our network resulting in decreased use of our network.
Decreases in the size of our agent base and/or decreased engagement on our network may impair our ability to generate revenue.
Managing growth
Successful implementation of our business strategy requires us to manage our growth. Growth could place an increasing strain on our management and financial resources. To manage growth effectively, we need to continuously: (i) evaluate definitive business strategies, goals and objectives; (ii) maintain a system of management controls; and (iii) attract and retain qualified personnel, as well as develop, train and manage management-level and other employees. If we fail to manage our growth effectively, our business, financial condition or operating results could be materially harmed.
Competition
We compete with both start-up and established technology companies and brokerages. Our competitors may have substantially greater financial, marketing and other resources than we do and may have been in business longer than we have or have greater name recognition and be better established in the technological or real estate markets than we are. If we are unable to compete successfully with other businesses in our existing market, we may not achieve our projected revenue and/or user targets which may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.
Volatility
The market price of our Common Shares could fluctuate significantly in response to various factors and events, including, but not limited to: our ability to execute our business plan; operating results below expectations; announcements regarding regulatory developments with respect to the real estate industry; our issuance of additional securities, including debt or equity or a combination thereof, necessary to fund our operating expenses; announcements of technological innovations or new products by us or our competitors; and period-to-period fluctuations in our financial results. In addition, the securities markets have from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of our Common Shares.

Risks and uncertainties (cont'd)
Volatility (cont'd)
An investment in our securities is speculative and involves a high degree of risk. Potential investors should be aware that the value of an investment in the Company may go down as well as up. In addition, there can be no certainty that the market value of an investment in the Company will fully reflect its underlying value. Investors could lose their entire investment. Because we can issue additional Common Shares, purchasers of our Common Shares may incur immediate dilution and experience further dilution.
As of the date of this MD&A, we are authorized to issue an unlimited number of Common Shares, of which 178,160 Common Shares are issued and outstanding. Our board of directors (the "Board) has the authority to cause us to issue additional Common Shares without consent of any of stockholders. Consequently, our stockholders may experience further dilution in their ownership of our stock in the future, which could have an adverse effect on the trading market for our Common Shares.
Furthermore, our articles give our Board the right to create one or more new classes or series of shares. As a result, our Board may, without stockholder approval, issue shares of a new class or series with voting, dividend, conversion, liquidation or other rights that could adversely affect the voting power and equity interests of the holders of our Common Shares, as well as the price of our Common Shares.
Cyber security threats
A cyber incident is an intentional or unintentional event that could threatens the integrity, confidentiality or availability of the Company's information resources. These events include, but are not limited to, unauthorized access to information systems, a disruption to our information systems, or loss of confidential information. Real's primary risks that could result directly from the occurrence of a cyber incident include operational interruption, damage to our public image and reputation, and/or potentially impact the relationships with our customers.
We have implemented processes, procedures and controls to mitigate these risks, including, but not limited to, firewalls and antivirus programs and training and awareness programs on the risks of cyber incidents. These procedures and controls do not guarantee that the financial results may not be negatively impacted by such an incident.
Subsequent events
On October 28, 20201, the Company launched its Instant Payment program, allowing agents to be paid at the time a transaction is executed, rather than at closing. The Company will leverage proprietary artificial intelligence, data and predictive analytics to determine which agents are eligible for the program, the likelihood and timing of a transaction closing and to calculate the value of the payment.
Outstanding Share Data
As of November 15, 2021, the Company had 178,160 Common Shares issued and outstanding.
In addition, as of November 15, there were 18,359 post-Share Split stock options ("Options") outstanding under the Company's stock option plan exercises prices ranging from $0.03 to $1.99 USD per share and expiry dates ranging from January 2026 to August 2031. Each Option is exercisable for one Common Share. A total of 3,739 restricted share units ("RSUs") were outstanding under the RSU Plan. Once vested, a total of 3,739 Common Shares will be issuable pursuant to the outstanding RSUs.

On May 17, 2021 the Company announced that the TSX-V has accepted its filing for notice in respect of a normal course issuer bid (NCIB) to be transacted through the facilities of the TSX-V, the Nasdaq and alternative trading systems in accordance with the requirements of the TSX-V.

2. Basis of preparation
A. Statement of compliance
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 year ended December 31, 2020. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements were authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors on November 15, 2021.
The Real Brokerage Inc. (formerly ADL Ventures Inc.) Notes to the Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (In thousands of U.S. dollars) |
![]() |
2. Basis of preparation (cont'd)
B. Functional and presentation currency
These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars. All amounts have been rounded to the nearest thousands of dollars, unless otherwise noted.
C. 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 annual consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.
D. 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.
3. 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.

4. Significant accounting policies
The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020.
A. Changes in accounting policies
The Company monitors the potential changes proposed by the IASB and analyzes the effect that changes in the standards may have on its operations.
Standards issued but not yet effective up to the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements are described below. This description is of the standards and interpretations issued that the Company reasonably expects to be applicable at a future date. The Company intends to adopt these standards when they become effective.
In January 2020 the IASB issued amendments to IAS 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements: Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-Current to clarify how to classify debt and other liabilities as current or non-current, and in particular how to classify liabilities with an uncertain settlement rate and liabilities that may be settled by converting to equity. These amendments are effective on or after January 1, 2023. The Company does not expect any material impact from the adoption of these amendments.
In May 2020 the IASB issued Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2018 - 2020 Cycle. The improvements have amended four standards with effective date January 1, 2022: i) IFRS 1 - First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards in relation to allowing a subsidiary to measure cumulative translation differences using amounts reported by its parent, ii) IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments in relation to which fees an entity includes when applying the '10 percent' test for derecognition of financial liabilities, iii) IAS 41 - Agriculture in relation to the exclusion of taxation cash flows when measuring the fair value of a biological asset, and iv) IFRS 16 - Leases in relation to an illustrative example of reimbursement for leasehold improvements. The Company does not expect any material impact from the adoption of these amendments.
In August 2020 the IASB issued a package of amendments to IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments, IAS 39 - Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, IFRS 7 - Financial Instruments: Disclosures, IFRS 4 - Insurance Contracts and IFRS 16 - Leases in response to the ongoing reform of inter-bank offered rates (IBOR) and other interest rate benchmarks. The amendments are aimed at helping companies to provide investors with useful information about the effects of the reform on those companies' financial statements. These amendments complement amendments issued in 2019 and focus on the effects on financial statements when a company replaces the old interest rate benchmark with an alternative benchmark rate as a result of the reform. The new amendments relate to:
•changes to contractual cash flows - a company will not be required to derecognize or adjust the carrying amount of financial instruments for changes required by the interest rate benchmark reform, but will instead update the effective interest rate to reflect the change to the alternative benchmark rate;
•hedge accounting - a company will not have to discontinue its hedge accounting solely because it makes changes required by the interest rate benchmark reform if the hedge meets other hedge accounting criteria; and
•disclosures - a company will be required to disclose information about new risks that arise from the interest rate benchmark reform and how the company manages the transition to alternative benchmark rates.
These amendments are effective on or after January 1, 2021, with early adoption permitted.
In February 2021 the IASB issued amendments to IAS 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements and IFRS Practice Statement 2: Disclosure of Accounting policies which require companies to disclose their material accounting policy information rather than their significant accounting policies and provide guidance on how to apply the concept of materiality to accounting policy disclosures. These amendments are effective on or after January 1, 2023. The Company does not expect any material impact from the adoption of these amendments.

4. Significant accounting policies (cont'd)
A. Changes in accounting policies (cont'd)
In February 2021 the IASB issued amendments to IAS 8 - Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors: Definition of Accounting Estimates which clarify how companies should distinguish changes in accounting policies from changes in accounting estimates. These amendments are effective on or after January 1, 2023. The Company does not expect any material impact from the adoption of these amendments.
Business Combinations
Business combinations are accounted for under the purchase method. The acquiree's identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities that meet the conditions for recognition under IFRS 3 'Business Combinations', are recognized at their fair value at the acquisition date, except certain assets and liabilities required to be measured as per the applicable standards.
Excess of fair value of purchase consideration and the acquisition date non-controlling interest over the acquisition date fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recognized as goodwill. Goodwill arising on acquisitions is reviewed for impairment annually. Where the fair values of the identifiable assets and liabilities exceed the cost of acquisition, the Group re-assesses whether it has correctly identified all of the assets acquired and all of the liabilities assumed and reviews the procedures used to measure the amounts to be recognized at the acquisition date. If the reassessment still results in an excess of the fair value of net assets acquired over the aggregate consideration transferred, then the surplus is credited to the consolidated statements of profit or loss in the period of acquisition.
Where it is not possible to complete the determination of fair values by the date on which the first post-acquisition financial statements are approved, a provisional assessment of fair value is made and any adjustments required to those provisional fair values are finalized within 12 months of the acquisition date.
Those provisional amounts are adjusted through goodwill during the measurement period, or additional assets or liabilities are recognized to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the amounts recognized at that date. These adjustments are called as measurement period adjustments. The measurement period does not exceed twelve months from the acquisition date.
Any non-controlling interest in an acquiree is measured at fair value or at the non-controlling interest's proportionate share of the acquiree's net identifiable assets. This accounting choice is made on a transaction-by-transaction basis.
Acquisition expenses are charged to consolidated statements of profit or loss.
If the Group acquires a group of assets in a company that does not constitute a business in accordance with IFRS 3, the cost of the acquired group of assets is allocated to the individual identifiable assets acquired based on their relative fair value.

5. Qualifying transaction

6. Pipe Transaction
On December 2, 2020, the Company completed an equity investment by private equity funds indirectly controlled by Insight Holdings Group, LLC (Insight Partners) for gross proceeds of USD $20 million (approximately CAD $26.28 million)
Insight Partners were issued 17,286,842 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 are exchangeable into the same number of common shares of the Company (Common Shares) and 17,286,842 share purchase warrants of the Company that are 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 17,286,842, 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, the Insight Partners were issued an aggregate of 17,286,842 Common Shares in the exchange of the Insight Partners' Preferred Units in connection with the Forced Exchange Event.
7. RealtyCrunch Acquisition
On January 11, 2021, Real completed the acquisition of the business assets and intellectual property of RealtyCrunch Inc. (RealtyCrunch).

Each warrant is exercisable into one Common Share at a price of CAD $1.36 for a period of four years. In connection with this acquisition, Real also granted 2,440,773 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 12 months from the date of purchase to determine the purchase price allocation among the assets purchased and any amounts attributable to goodwill. The expense related to the acquisition was $38 and is recognized as depreciation expense.

7. RealtyCrunch Acquisition (cont'd)
The following table summarizes the estimated provisional fair values of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities, with reference to the acquisition as of the acquisition date:
Intangible assets | 1,165 | ||
Goodwill | - | ||
Total assets acquired | 1,165 |
The estimated fair values of the tangible and intangible assets referring to acquisition which were made in 2021 are provisional and are based on information that was available as of the acquisition date to estimate the fair value of these amounts. The Company's management believes the information provides a reasonable basis for estimating the fair values of these amounts but is waiting for additional information necessary to finalize those fair values. Therefore, provisional measurements of fair value reflected are subject to change. The Company expects to finalize the tangible and intangible assets valuation and complete the acquisition accounting as soon as practicable but not later than the measurement period.

11. Share-based payment arrangements (cont'd)
D. Restricted share unit plan
i. Restricted share unit plan
On September 21, 2020, the Company established a restricted share unit plan. Under the plan agents are eligible to receive restricted share units (RSU's) that vest as common shares of Real. The RSU's are earned in recognition of personal performance and ability to attract agents to Real. The expense recognized in relation to these awards for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $532 and is recorded as a stock-based compensation expense on the unaudited interim consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss.
RSU's purchased in the agent stock purchase plan are based on a percentage of commission withheld to purchase stock. 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.
RSU's 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.
On May 20, 2021 the Company began transacting under the NCIB purchase up to 7,170,192 of its common shares (Shares) representing approximately 5% of the total 143,403,790 Shares of the Company's issued and outstanding as at April 30, 2021. Purchases will be made at prevailing market prices commencing on or about May 20, 2021 and ending on the earlier of: (i) one year from such commencement; or (ii) the date on which the Company has purchased the maximum number of Shares to be under the NCIB. The purpose of the purchase of common shares under the NCIB is to enable the Company to acquire shares to satisfy the RSU Plan. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, there were 1,845,000 shares purchased.
Real has appointed CWB Trust Services as the Trustee for the purposes of arranging for the acquisition of the Shares and to hold the shares in trust for the purposes of the RSU Plan as well as deal with other administration matters. Through the trustee, RBC Capital Markets (RBCCM) has been engaged to undertake purchases under the NCIB for the purposes of the RSU Plan. RBCCM is required to comply with the TSXV NCIB rules in respect of the purchases of Shares as the Trustee is considered to be a non-independent trustee by the TSXV for the purposes of the NCIB rules.

17. Capital management
Real defines capital as its equity. The Company's capital management framework is designed to maintain a level of capital that funds the operations and business strategies and builds long-term shareholder value.
The Company's objective is to manage its capital structure in such a way as to diversify its funding sources, while minimizing its funding costs and risks The Company sets the amount of capital in proportion to the risk and adjusts considering changes in economic conditions and the characteristic risk of underlying assets. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may repurchase shares, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.
Real's objective is met by retaining adequate liquidity to provide the possibility that cash flows from its assets will not be sufficient to meet operational, investing and financing requirements. There have been no changes to the Company's capital management policies during the periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.

19. Financial instruments - Fair values and 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 to be set forth for approval 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.
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.
Trade receivables and contract assets (cont'd)
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 September 30, 2021, the exposure to credit risk for trade receivables and contract asset by geographic region was as follows.

Other regions | - | - | ||||
Trade receivables | 275 | 117 |
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
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 segments 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.
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 and Israeli shekel.
Exposure to currency risk
Sensitivity analysis
A reasonably possible strengthening (weakening) of the US dollar or Israeli shekel against all other currencies in which the Company operates as at September 30, 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.

v. Investment risk
The Company invested funds from the PIPE 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.
The Company follows a conservative investment approach with limited risk for investment activities and has allocated the funds in Level 1 assets to reduce market risk exposure.
Information about the Company's investment activity is included in Note 14.
