1.BUSINESS

 

Description of the Business

 

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.

 

Common Shares

 

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”). On May 19, 2022, the Company announced that it renewed its NCIB to be transacted through the facilities of the NASDAQ Capital Market (“NASDAQ”) and other stock exchanges and/or alternative trading systems in the United States and/or Canada. 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. On May 24, 2023, the Company announced that it renewed its NCIB pursuant to which, Real may purchase up to approximately 9.0 million Common Shares, representing approximately 5% of the total 180 million Common Shares issued and outstanding as of May 18, 2023. 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.

 

2.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The significant accounting policies described below have been applied consistently to all periods presented.

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

UNAUDITED

 

A.Basis of preparation

 

The Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

 

The financial information as of December 31, 2023, that is included in this quarterly report is derived from the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and notes for the year ended December 31, 2023. Such financial information should be read in conjunction with the notes of the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our annual report.

 

All dollar amounts are in U.S. dollars unless otherwise stated.

 

B.Basis of consolidation

 

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries and entities in which we have a controlling voting interest in. Intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated upon consolidation.

 

Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Company obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Company loses control of the subsidiary. Specifically, the results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are included in profit or loss from the date the Company gains control until the date when the Company ceases to control the subsidiary.

 

Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to ensure subsidiaries’ accounting policies are in line with Company’s accounting policies.

 

All intragroup assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses, and cash flows relating to transactions between the members of the Company and its subsidiaries are eliminated on consolidation.

 

C.Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to legal contingencies, income taxes, revenue recognition, stock-based compensation, intangible assets, goodwill and deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.

D.Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

 

In the condensed consolidated balance sheets, cash and bank balances comprise cash (i.e. cash on hand and demand deposits) and cash equivalents. Cash equivalents consist primarily of money market fund and other short-term (generally with original maturity of three months or less), highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Cash equivalents are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments rather than for investment or other purposes.

 

Bank balances for which use by the Company is subject to third party contractual restrictions are included in Restricted cash in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Restricted cash consists of cash held in escrow by the Company’s brokers and agents on behalf of real estate buyers. The Company recognizes a corresponding Customer deposit liability until the funds are released. Once the cash is transferred from escrow, the Company reduces the respective Customer deposit liability.

 

The following table provides a reconciliation of Cash, cash equivalents and Restricted cash reported within the Consolidated Balance Sheet that sum to the total of the same amounts shown on the Statement of Cash Flows.

 

   March 31, 2024   March 31, 2023 
Cash and cash equivalents  $20,072   $10,975 
Restricted cash   24,440    15,436 
Total cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash, ending balance  $44,512   $26,411 

 

E.Income Taxes

 

The Company has not recorded any income tax expense or benefit in either the period ended March 31, 2024 or March 31, 2023 as it has had cumulative tax losses in all jurisdictions where it conducts business. Since our inception, we have not recorded any income tax benefits for the net losses we have incurred or for our other deferred tax assets, as we believe that it is more likely than not that all of our deferred tax assets will not be realized. Accordingly, we have recorded a full valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets.

 

F.Accounting policy Developments

 

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncement

 

The Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU’) 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures”. This ASU does not alter the methodology employed by the Company in identifying its operating segments, aggregating those operating segments or applying the quantitative thresholds to determine its reportable segments. Instead, the new ASU adds required disclosures concerning significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to or easily computed from information regularly provided to by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) and included within the Company’s reported measure of segment profit of loss, as well as certain other disclosures. The new ASU also allows disclosure of multiple measures of segment profitability if those measures are used to allocate resources and assess performance by the CODM. Furthermore, certain annual disclosures will be required on an interim basis. The ASU is effective for annual financial statements of public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and in interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The new guidance should be adopted retrospectively unless impracticable. The Company has adopted ASU 2023-07 retrospectively beginning from January 1, 2023.

 

New Accounting Pronouncements

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”), to require disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation, as well as information on income taxes paid. The new requirements should be applied on a prospective basis with an option to apply them retrospectively. ASU 2023-09 will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

5.OPERATING segments disclosures

 

Segment information aligns with how the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), the Chief Executive Officer, manages the business and allocates resources into three operating segments:

 

North American Brokerage: generates revenue by processing real estate transactions which entitles the Company to commissions.

 

One 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 determines an operating segment if a component (i) engages in business activities from which it earns revenues and incurs expenses, (ii) has discrete financial information and is (iii) regularly reviewed by the CODM. Once operating segments are identified, the Company performs a quantitative analysis of the current and historic revenues and profitability for each operating segment, together with a qualitative assessment to determine if operating segments have similar operating characteristics.

 

The Company has determined that it operates as a single reporting segment - North American Brokerage which comprises of more than 90% of Group’s total revenue and income (loss) from operations. The other two segments One 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 has been restated following the retrospective adoption of ASU 2023-07.

 

The CODM uses revenues, gross profits and operating income (loss) from operations as key metrics to evaluate the operating and financial performance of a segment, identify trends affecting the segments, develop projections and make strategic business decisions. All segments follow the same basis of presentation and accounting policies as those described throughout the Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included herein. The following table provides information about the Company’s reportable segments (in thousands). Financial information for the comparable prior periods presented have been revised to conform with the current year presentation.

6.income Taxes

 

The Company has not recorded any income tax expense or benefit in either the period ended March 31, 2024 or March 31, 2023 as it has had cumulative tax losses in all jurisdictions where it conducts business. Since our inception, we have not recorded any income tax benefits for the net losses we have incurred or for our other deferred tax assets, as we believe that it is more likely than not that all of our deferred tax assets will not be realized. Accordingly, we have recorded a full valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets.

 

7.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.

 

The following table outlines the number of Common Shares (in thousands) and basic and diluted loss per share.

 

   For the Period Ended 
   March 31, 2024   March 31, 2023 
Issued Common Shares, Balance at the beginning of the year   183,606    178,201

8.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 (in thousands):

 

Grant Date  Number of Options   Vesting Conditions  Contractual Life of Options
Balance January 1, 2023   27,057       
 On March, 2023   1,500   16.7% on first anniversary, then quarterly vesting  10 years
 On March, 2023   15   3 years quarterly vest  10 years
 On June, 2023   65   33.3% on first anniversary, then quarterly vesting  10 years
 On August, 2023   85   3 years quarterly vest  10 years
 On November, 2023   10   33.3% on first anniversary, then quarterly vesting  10 years
Balance December 31, 2023   28,732       
Balance January 1, 2024   28,732       
Balance March 31, 2024   28,732       

 

B.Measurement of fair value

 

The fair value of the Options has been measured using the Black-Scholes formula. The Black-Scholes model requires management to make certain assumptions including the expected life of the stock options, volatility and risk-free interest rate. 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%
Weighted-average grant date fair value   -   $1.25 

 

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

The following table outlines the number of Options (in thousands) and weighted-average exercise price:

 

   March 31, 2024   December 31, 2023 
   Number of Options   Weighted-Average Exercise Price   Number of Options   Weighted-Average Exercise Price 
Outstanding at beginning of year   21,943   $0.92    21,746   $0.87 
Granted   -    -    1,675    1.28 
Forfeited/ Expired   -    -    (312)   1.41

Exercisable at end of period   15,354    0.78    15,566    0.72 

 

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. On January 1, 2024, the Company updated the Bonus RSUs structure to matching (i) 10% of the commission withheld if an agent has not met the Cap and (ii) 20% of the commission withheld 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 sales and the Bonus RSUs are expensed based on the nature of the role of the employee or agent granted the Bonus RSUs. RSUs purchased under the program are expensed immediately and Bonus RSUs 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 Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss.

Investment securities are recorded at fair value. 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. The products in the Company’s investment portfolio have maturity dates ranging from less than one year to over 20 years.

 

The fair value of investment securities is impacted by interest rates, credit spreads, market volatility, and liquidity conditions. Net unrealized gains and losses in the portfolio are included in Other comprehensive income (loss).

 

Available-for-sale debt securities in an unrealized loss position at each measurement date are individually evaluated for expected credit losses. The Company evaluates whether the unrealized loss is due to market factors or changes in the investment holdings’ credit rating. An expected credit loss will be recorded when an investment in an unrealized loss position is determined to have lost value from a decreased credit rating. For the periods ended March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, no allowance for credit losses was recorded.
