1. GENERAL INFORMATION

The Real Brokerage Inc. ("Real" or the "Company") is a growing real estate technology company located in the United States and Canada. Real is taking a first principles approach to redefining the role of a real estate brokerage in the lives of agents and within the broader housing ecosystem. The Company focuses on developing technology to enhance real estate agent performance while building a scalable, efficient brokerage operation that is not dependent on a cost-heavy brick and mortar presence in the markets in which Real operates. Real's goal is to establish the Company as the destination brokerage for agents, by offering an unmatched combination of technology, support, and financial incentives. Real's vision is to transform home buying under the guidance of an agent via an integrated consumer portal and app, while growing attachment of ancillary services including mortgage brokerage and title insurance. Concurrently, Real plans to expand its suite of tools and products tailored for agents, including mobile banking, payment solutions, and wealth management tools, to facilitate their journey towards generational wealth.

The consolidated operations of Real include the subsidiaries of Real, including those involved in the brokerage, title and mortgage broker operations.

On May 17, 2021, the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV") accepted the Company's Notice of Intention to implement a normal course issuer bid ("NCIB").

Pursuant to the NCIB, Real was able to purchase up to 8.9 million common shares of the Company ("Common Shares"), representing approximately 5% of the total 178.3 million Common Shares issued and outstanding as of May 19, 2022.

Purchases are made at prevailing market prices and may be conducted during the twelve-month period ended May 28, 2024.

The NCIB is being conducted to acquire Common Shares for the purposes of satisfying restricted share unit (each, an "RSU") obligations. The Company appointed CWB Trust Services (the "Trustee") as the trustee for the purposes of arranging the acquisition of Common Shares and to hold the Common Shares in trust for the purposes of satisfying RSU payments as well as to deal with other administrative matters. Through the Trustee, RBC Capital Markets was engaged to undertake purchases under the NCIB.

5. OPERATING SEGMENTS DISCLOSURES

The businesses of the Company are divided operationally into three identified operating segments: North American Brokerage, Real Title and One Real Mortgage.  North American Brokerage generates revenue by processing real estate transactions which entitles the Company to commissions. Real Title generates revenue by offering title insurance and closing services for residential and/or commercial transactions. One Real Mortgage derives revenue from premiums associated with facilitating mortgage transactions between borrowers and lenders.

The Company has identified one reportable segment- North American Brokerage which comprises of more than 90% of Group's total revenue and net loss. The other two segments Real Title and One Real Mortgage are not considered as reporting segments as their revenue and net loss do not meet quantitative threshold set for reporting segments. These two segments are disclosed in an 'other segments' category below.

The presentation in this note for prior periods have been restated based on the current segment reporting.

Segment performance is evaluated based on income (loss) from operations and is measured consistently with income or loss in the consolidated financial statements.

6. BASIC AND DILUTED LOSS PER SHARE

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the loss for the period by the weighted average number of Common Shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) less any preferred dividends for the period by the weighted average number of Common Shares outstanding plus, any potentially dilutive Common Shares outstanding during the period. The Company does not pay dividends or have participating shares outstanding.

7. SHARE-BASED PAYMENT ARRANGEMENTS

A. Description of share-based payment arrangements

Stock option plan (equity-settled)

On January 20, 2016, the Company established a stock option plan (the "Stock Option Plan") that entitles key management personnel and employees to purchase shares in the Company. Under the Stock Option Plan, holders of vested Options are entitled to purchase Common Shares for the exercise price as determined at the grant date.

On February 26, 2022, the Company established an omnibus incentive plan providing for up to 20% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares as of the date thereof (being 35.6 million Common Shares, less RSUs and Options outstanding under other equity inventive plans) to be issued as RSUs or Options to directors, officers, employees, and consultants of the Company (the "Omnibus Incentive Plan"). The Omnibus Incentive Plan was approved by shareholders of the Company on June 13, 2022.

In connection with the graduation to the TSX, the Company amended its Omnibus Incentive Plan (the "A&R Plan") on July 13, 2022, and the Company's shareholders approved the A&R Plan on June 9, 2023. Pursuant to the A&R Plan, the maximum number of Common Shares issuable pursuant to outstanding Options at any time shall be limited to 15% of the aggregate number of issued and outstanding Common Shares as of the applicable award date less the number of Common Shares issuable pursuant to Options under the A&R Plan or any other security-based compensation arrangement of the Company. In addition, the Company is authorized to grant up to 70,000,000 RSUs pursuant to the A&R Plan. The RSU limit is separate and distinct from the maximum number of Common Shares reserved for issuance pursuant to Options under the A&R Plan.

The following table depicts the number of Options granted apart from the Company's various acquisitions (in thousands):

B. Measurement of fair value

The fair value of the Options has been measured using the Black-Scholes formula which was also used to determine the Company's share value. Service and non-market performance conditions attached to the arrangements were not considered in measuring fair value. The inputs used in the measurement of the fair value at the grant and measurement date of options granted in the period  were as follows:

    March 31, 2024     March 31, 2023  
Share price   -   $ 1.25  
Expected volatility (weighted-average)   -     108%  
Expected life (weighted-average)   -     10 years  
Expected dividends   -     - %  
Risk-free interest rate (based on US government bonds)   -     3.65%  

Expected volatility has been based on an evaluation of historical volatility of the company's share price.

The Options outstanding as of March 31, 2024 had a weighted average exercise price of $0.95 (December 31, 2023: $0.92) and a weighted-average remaining contractual life of 7.1 years (December 31, 2023: 8.8 years).

D. Restricted share unit plan

Restricted share unit plan

Under the Company's agent performance grant program, the Company issues RSUs to agents based on an agent meeting certain performance metrics, and successfully attracting other performing agents to the Company. Each RSU, which have a vesting term of up to 3 years and subject to forfeiture in certain circumstances, entitles the holder to one Common Share. The Company recognizes expense from the issuance of these RSUs during the applicable vesting period based upon the best available estimate of the number RSUs expected to vest with a corresponding increase in stock-based compensation reserve. The expense recognized from the issuance of RSU awards for the period ended March 31, 2024 was $2 million, and was classified as marketing expense.

Under the Company's agent stock purchase program, agents purchase RSUs, which vests immediately but have a one year restriction period, using a percentage of the agent's commission that is withheld by the Company. Each RSU entitles the holder to one Common Share. The RSUs are expensed in the period in which they are issued with a corresponding increase in equity. Each agent pays the Company 15% of commissions until the commission paid to the Company totals that agent's "cap" amount (the "Cap"). As an incentive to participate in the program, the Company issues additional RSUs ("Bonus RSUs") with a value of (i) 10% of the commission withheld (the percentage was 15% previously) if an agent has not met the Cap and (ii) 20% of the commission withheld  (the percentage was 30% previously) if an agent has met the Cap. The Bonus RSUs have a one-year vesting term and are subject to forfeiture in certain circumstances. The RSUs purchased under the program are expensed to cost of goods sold and the Bonus RSUs are expensed to stock-based compensation expense. Bonus RUSs are amortized over the vesting period with a corresponding increase in stock-based compensation reserve.

Stock compensation awards granted to full time employees ("FTEs") are classified as a general and administrative, research and development, or marketing expense based on the appropriate department within the Consolidated Statements of Loss and Other Comprehensive Loss.

The following table illustrates the Company's stock activity (in thousands of units) for the restricted share units under its equity plan.

During the period ended March 31, 2024, the Company issued 3.6 million shares due to exercise of stock options and release of restricted stock units granted to agents and employees.

Total number of shares held by our trustee in the NCIB is 708 thousand and 175 thousand as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

13. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Real defines capital as its equity. It is comprised of share premium, stock-based compensation reserves, deficit, other reserves, treasury stock, and non-controlling interests. 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 by 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 March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023.

A. Transfers between levels

During the periods ended March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, there have been no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3.

B. 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.

The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure.

Trade receivables

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.

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 Cash Generating Units based on the following common credit risk characteristics - geographic region, credit information about the customer and the type of home purchased.


THE REAL BROKERAGE INC.
NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED MARCH 31, 2024 AND 2023
UNAUDITED

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.

As of March 31, 2024, the exposure to credit risk for trade receivables and contract asset (in thousands) by geographic region was as follows:

    March 31, 2024     December 31, 2023  
US   5,573     4,607  
Other Regions   3,962     1,834  
Trade Receivables   9,535     6,441  

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 dollars.

Sensitivity analysis

A reasonably possible strengthening (weakening) of the U.S. dollar (USD), Israeli shekel (ILS), or Canadian Dollar (CAD) against all other currencies in which the Company operates as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 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. The following table is presented in thousands:

    Average Rate     Period-end Spot Rate  
    Strengthening     Weakening     Strengthening     Weakening

Foreign Currency Risk Management

The Company undertakes transactions denominated in foreign currencies; consequently, exposures to exchange rate fluctuations arise. Exchange rate exposures are managed within approved policy parameters utilizing forward foreign exchange contracts.

The carrying amounts of the Company's foreign currency denominated monetary assets and monetary liabilities (in thousands) at the reporting date are as follows:

    Liabilities     Assets  
    March 31, 2024     December 31, 2023     March 31, 2024     December 31, 2023  
CAD   (25,314 )   (13,463 )   15,703     4,949  
ILS   (287 )   (178 )   7,452     7,494  
Total Exposure   (25,601 )   (13,641 )   23,155     12,443  

v. Investment risk

The Company invested 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 8.

15. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

On April 8, 2024, the Company entered into a settlement agreement to resolve the pending class action litigation, Umpa v. NAR, 4:23-cv-00945 (W.D. Mo.), on a nationwide basis.

This settlement conclusively addresses all claims asserted against Real in the Umpa lawsuit, releasing Real, its subsidiaries, and affiliated agents from these claims. The settlement does not constitute an admission of liability by Real, nor does it concede or validate any of the claims asserted in the litigation.

Under the terms of the settlement agreement, Real has committed to paying $9.25 million into a qualified settlement fund within 30 days following the court's preliminary approval of the settlement agreement. The Company does not foresee the settlement terms having a material impact on its future operations.

Additionally, Real has agreed to implement specific changes to its business practices. These changes include clarifications about the negotiability of commissions, prohibitions on claims that buyer agent services are free, and the inclusion of listing broker compensation offers in communications with clients. Real will also develop training materials to support these practice changes.

On April 30, 2024, the settlement agreement received preliminary approval by the court. The settlement agreement awaits final court approval and will take effect upon such final approval.

16. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Balances and transactions between the company and its subsidiaries, which are related parties, have been eliminated on consolidation and are not disclosed in this note. The Company's key management personnel are comprised of its Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, President, Chief Technology Officer, and Chief Marketing Officer, and other members of the executive team. Executive officers participate in the A&R Plan (see Note 7.A). Directors and officers of the Company control approximately 36.55% of the voting shares of the Company. The remuneration of key management personnel and directors of the Company who are part of related parties is set out below (in thousands):

17. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On April 8, 2024, the Company entered into a settlement agreement to resolve the pending class action litigation, Umpa v. NAR, 4:23-cv-00945 (W.D. Mo.), on a nationwide basis. This settlement conclusively addresses all claims asserted against Real in the Umpa lawsuit, releasing Real, its subsidiaries, and affiliated agents from these claims on a nationwide basis. The settlement does not constitute an admission of liability by Real, nor does it concede or validate any of the claims asserted in the litigation. Under the terms of the settlement agreement, Real has committed to paying $9.25 million into a qualified settlement fund within 30 days following the court's preliminary approval of the settlement agreement. Additionally, as part of the settlement, Real has agreed to implement specific changes to its business practices. These changes include clarifications about the negotiability of commissions, prohibitions on claims that buyer agent services are free, and the inclusion of listing broker compensation offers in communications with clients. Real will also develop training materials to support these practice changes. On April 30, 2024, the settlement agreement received preliminary approval by the court. The settlement agreement awaits final court approval and will take effect upon such final approval.
