MOBETIZE CORP.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2016
(Expressed in U.S. dollars)
(Unaudited)
1. Nature of Operations and Continuance of Business
Mobetize Corp. ("Mobetize") was incorporated in the state of Nevada on February 23, 2012, as
Slavia, Corp. Mobetize's name became "Mobetize Corp on August 13, 2013.
Mobetize provides Fintech solutions and services to enable and support the convergence of global
telecom and financial services providers ("Customers") through its Global Mobile B2B Fintech and
Financial Services Marketplace ("Hub"). Mobetize's activities are subject to significant risks and
uncertainties, including the need to secure additional funding to optimize Mobetize's existing
technology to effective counter competitive products.
Mobetize's unaudited consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States. These unaudited consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of Mobetize and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Mobetize Canada Inc., and
Mobetize USA Inc. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Mobetize should be read in
conjunction with the financial statements and accompanying notes filed with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission in Mobetize's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March
31, 2016. In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements reflect all
adjustments of a recurring nature considered necessary to present fairly Mobetize's financial position
and the result of its operations and its cash flows for the periods shown.
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts
reported. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. The results of operations and
cash flows for the periods shown are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the
full year.
Going Concern
These unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis,
which implies that Mobetize will continue to realize assets and discharge liabilities in the normal
course of business. As of December 31, 2016, Mobetize has an accumulated deficit of $7,071,813, a
history of net losses and a working capital deficiency of $710,669. These factors raise substantial
doubt regarding Mobetize's ability to continue as a going concern. The continuation of Mobetizeas a
going concern is dependent upon continuing financial support from management, increasing sales,
securing debt or equity financing, cutting operating costs, launching viable products, and realizing
profitable operations. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability
and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary
should Mobetize be unable to continue as a going concern.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
a) Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In June 2014, ASU guidance was issued to resolve the diversity of practice relating to the
accounting for stock based performance awards that the performance target could be achieved
after the employee completes the required service period. The update is effective prospectively or
retrospectively for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company
adopted this ASU on April 1, 2016, prospectively. The adoption of this ASU does not have a
material effect on Mobetize's consolidated financial statements.
In January 2015, an ASU was issued to simplify the income statement presentation requirements
in Subtopic 225-20 by eliminating the concept of extraordinary items. Extraordinary items are
events and transactions that are distinguished by their unusual nature and by the infrequency of
their occurrence. Eliminating the extraordinary classification simplifies income statement
presentation by altogether removing the concept of extraordinary items from consideration. This
ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods
within those annual periods. An entity may apply this ASU prospectively or retrospectively to all
prior periods presented in the financial statements. Early adoption is permitted. Mobetize
adopted this ASU on April 1, 2016, prospectively. The adoption of this ASU does not have a
material effect on Mobetize's consolidated financial statements.
b) Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, ASU guidance was issued related to revenue from contracts with customers. The
new standard provides a five-step approach to be applied to all contracts with customers and also
requires expanded disclosures about revenue recognition. The ASU is effective for annual
reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods and is to be
retrospectively applied. Early application is permitted only as of annual reporting periods
beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting
period. Mobetize is currently evaluating this guidance and the impact it will have on its
consolidated financial statements.
In November 2015, an ASU was issued to simplify the presentation of deferred income taxes.
The amendments in this ASU require that deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as non-
current on the balance sheet as compared to the current requirements to separate deferred tax
liabilities and assets into current and non-current amounts. This ASU is effective for annual
periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those annual
periods. Earlier application is permitted. This ASU may be applied either prospectively to all
deferred tax liabilities and assets or retrospectively to all periods presented. Mobetize is currently
evaluating this guidance and the impact it will have on its consolidated financial statements.

2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements – continued
b) Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2016, Topic 842, Leases was issued to replace the leases requirements in Topic 840,
Leases. The main difference between previous GAAP and Topic 842 is the recognition of lease
assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under previous
GAAP. A lessee should recognize in the balance sheet a liability to make lease payments (the lease
liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term.
For leases with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy
election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. If a lessee
makes this election, it should recognize lease expense for such leases generally on a straight-line basis
over the lease term. The accounting applied by a lessor is largely unchanged from that applied under
previous GAAP. Topic 842 will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December
15, 2018, including interim periods within those annual periods and is to be retrospectively applied.
Earlier application is permitted. Mobetize is currently evaluating this guidance and the impact it will
have on its consolidated financial statements.
In March 2016, an ASU was issued to reduce complexity in the accounting for employee share-based
payment transactions. One of the simplifications relates to forfeitures of awards. Under current
GAAP, an entity estimates the number of awards for which the requisite service period is expected to
be rendered and base the accruals of compensation cost on the estimated number of awards that will
vest. This ASU permits an entity to make an entity-wide accounting policy election either to estimate
the number of forfeitures expected to occur or to account for forfeitures in compensation cost when
they occur. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including
interim periods within those annual periods. Earlier application is permitted. Mobetize is currently
evaluating this guidance and the impact it will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Forward-looking statements can also be identified by words such as "anticipates," "expects," "believes,"
"plans," "predicts," and similar terms. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future
performance and our actual results may differ significantly from the results discussed in the forward-

discussed in the subsection entitled Forward-Looking Statements and Factors That May Affect Future
Results and Financial Condition below. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our
financial statements and notes thereto included in this report. Our fiscal year end is March 31. All
information presented herein is based on the three and nine month periods ended December 31, 2016 and
December 31, 2015.
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Mobetize is an emerging Fintech ( mobile delivery of banking and other financial services ) company that
digitizes bricks and mortar financial services to enable the convergence of global telecom and financial
services providers through its Global Mobile B2B Fintech and Financial as a Service Marketplace
("Hub"). This Hub provides among other things, a mobile financial services ("MFS") white label
technology platform, that includes an individual MFS application program interface ("API") consumption
protocol that supports services such as personal loan applications, prepaid air-time and data top ups,
international money transfers, P2P transfers, Visa ™ /MasterCard ™ programs and bill payments on
personal computers and mobile devices ("Services"). The Hub seamlessly integrates with our customers
who can then offer our services to their own customers. Over the three and nine month period ended
December 31, 2016, we entered into the following agreements:
GF Financial Group – On September 27, 2016, effective September 20, 2016, we entered into a Software
Application License, Customization Development and Service Level Agreement with GF Financial Group
to partner in offering a mobile personal lending facility with omni-channel capabilities to its customers
built on our Fintech platform. GF Financial customers will be able to apply for and be approved for
personal loans initiated from their mobile devices. A roll out of the application is planned for the first
quarter of 2017.
CPT Joint Venture – On January 12, 2017, we entered into a Joint Venture Agreement with CPT Secure
Inc. to develop payment processing technology. Mobetize agreed to issue 500,000 Series B Preferred
Shares to CPT in consideration for the license of CPT technology to the joint venture. The license has a
two year term that can be automatically renewed for successive two year periods unless either party elects
not to renew 60 days prior to expiration. The joint venture will be formed in the first quarter of 2017.
Tata Communications – On February 1, 2017, dated effective December 15, 2016, we entered into a
Software Application License, Customization Development and Service Level Agreement with Tata
Communications (America) Inc. to govern the global deployment of our Services for its customers. The
parties agreed to a five-year strategic partnership from which we expect to generate revenue from service
level support fees and the sharing of transactional income; advance our technology alliance to accelerate
new Fintech revenue sharing opportunities; and focus our research and development partnership on
Fintech product innovation. The parties expect progress with the partnership in the first quarter of 2017.
Our business plan for the coming year is to complete the development and qualification of products under
development, and to increase sales of our existing products. Meanwhile, we will continue internal
research and development efforts and collaborate with development partners to ensure the continuity of
our product pipeline as we maintain our focus on the convergence of telecom and financial services.

Revenues
Mobetize generated $365,386 of revenue in the nine months ended December 31, 2016, compared to
revenues of $81,460 during the same period in 2015, an increase of 349%. For the three months ended
December 31, 2016, Mobetize generated $149,138 of revenue compared to $74,383 of revenue during the
same period in 2015, an increase of 100%. Revenues are generated from licensing our Services,
providing professional services, and payment processing for our customers. The increase in revenues over
the comparative three and nine month periods can be attributed to an increase in contract development
revenue and professional service receipts in the current three and nine month periods over the
corresponding prior periods.
We expect that revenues will continue to increase in future periods as Mobetize anticipates its first
transactional revenues in the first half of the calendar year 2017.

For the nine months ended December 31, 2016, operating expenses were $1,112,138 compared with
17
$1,727,763 for the nine months ended December 31, 2015, a decrease of 36%. The $615,625 decrease is
primarily attributed to a $257,289 decrease in consulting fees, a $30,390 decrease in management fees
due to the departure of a former executive officer, a $97,828 decrease in research and development costs
as products under development matured to commercial application, a $60,879 decrease in sales and
marketing, and a $433,720 decrease in stock based compensation as Mobetize moves away from issuing
equity in lieu of cash compensation. The decrease in operating expenses was offset by an increase of
$30,000 in Director compensation, an increase in general and administrative expenses paid to a related
party due to the interest expense on promissory notes, a $35,343 increase in investor relations costs
related to a new investors relations contract, a $61,724 increase in professional fees most of which is
related to public company disclosure, and a $51,205 increase in research and development costs incurred
to a related party.
For the three months ended December 31, 2016, operating costs were $290,093 compared with
$1,007,340 for the three months ended December 31, 2015, a decrease of 71%. The $717,247 decrease is
primarily attributed to a $89,585 decrease consulting fees paid to a former executive officer, and a
$561,159 decrease in stock based compensation as Mobetize moves away from issuing equity in lieu of
cash compensation. The decrease in operating expenses was offset by a $17,936 increase in general and
administrative expenses paid to a related party due to interest expense on promissory notes.
We expect that operating expenses will increase over future periods as Mobetize expands its business to
focus on joint research and development activities, enhance its product pipeline, and grow its revenue
model to include transactional sales in 2017.
Net Losses
During the nine months ended December 31, 2016, Mobetize recorded a net loss of $746,752 compared
with a net loss of $1,646,303 for the nine months ended December 31, 2015, a decrease of 55%. The
$899,551 decrease in the net loss is primarily due to the $283,926 increase in revenues, and the $615,625
decrease in total operating costs.
During the three months ended December 31, 2016, Mobetize recorded a net loss of $140,955 compared
with a net loss of $932,957 for the three months ended December 31, 2015, a decrease of 85%. The
$792,002 decrease in the net loss is primarily attributed to a $74,755 increase in revenues and the
$717,247 decrease in total operating costs.
We believe that net losses will continue to diminish over future periods as revenue is expected to grow the
effect of operating efficiencies on our business are carefully monitored to ensure the most cost effective
realization of our business plan.

Mobetize had a working capital deficit of $710,669 as of December 31, 2016, and has funded its cash

placements. Existing working capital and anticipated cash flow are not expected to be sufficient to fund
operations over the next twelve months.

in accounts receivable, $45,015 in prepaid expenses and deposits and $6,549 in prepaid expenses to a

Cash flows used in Operating Activities
During the nine months ended December 31, 2016, Mobetize used $270,786 in operating activities as
compared to $1,055,746 of cash used in operating activities during the nine months ended December 31,
2015. The $771,561 change in cash used in operating activities over the comparative periods, is primarily
attributed to a number of items that are book expense items which do not affect the total amount relative
to actual cash used including depreciation, share based compensation, interest accrued on shareholder
loans, and shares issued to settle a promissory note with a related party. Balance sheet accounts that
actually affect cash, but are not income statement related items that are added or deducted to arrive at net
cash used in operating activities, include accounts receivable, shareholder loans, accounts payable and the
related party promissory note.
Mobetize expects to continue to use cash flow in operating activities until such time as diminishing losses
transition to profit on the expectation that revenues will continue to increase.
Cash flows used in Investing Activities
During the nine months ended December 31, 2016, Mobetize used $nil in investing activities compared to
$1,554 in 2015. Cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended December 31, 2015 was
due to purchase of computer equipment.
Mobetize expects to use cash flow in investing activities in future periods as it will require additional
investment to increase revenue.
19
Cash flows provided by Financing Activities
During the nine months ended December 31, 2016, Mobetize realized $122,587 in proceeds provided by
financing activities compared to $872,757 during the nine months ended December 31, 2015. Proceeds
provided by financing activities during the nine months ended December 31, 2016, were primarily from
the issuance of convertible debentures in the amount of $65,000, the issuance of a promissory note to a
related party, net of prepaid interest in the amount of $44,188. Proceeds provided by financing activities
during the nine months ended December 31, 2015 consisted of proceeds from the sale of common stock
and the exercise of warrants in the amount of $619,667, proceeds from the sale of common stock and the
exercise of warrants by related parties in the amount of $228,240.
Mobetize expects to continue to realize cash flow from financing activities until such time as it can
increase revenue to the point at which it can maintain operations and fund business growth.
FINANCING
We have financed operations to date from the proceeds of private placements of common stock, the
exercise of warrants, the issuances of convertible debentures, and advances from directors and
shareholders. Our business plan does anticipate increases in operating expenses and capital expenditures
over the next twelve months in relation to: (i) product development; (ii) research and development to
enhance existing products and innovate new ones; and (iii) marketing expenses. We expect that our
working capital requirements will be funded over this period by a combination of revenue, shareholder
debt or equity private placements of our securities and if necessary, shareholder loans.
Despite our expectation, we have no agreements to obtain funds through bank loans, lines of credit or any
other sources. Since we have no financing committed, our inability to realize financing to maintain
operations and grow our business would materially restrict our business operations. Financing may not be
available upon acceptable terms, or at all. Should we be successful in securing future financing new
issuances of equity or convertible debt would dilute our current shareholders and might have rights,
preferences or privileges senior to our common or preferred stock. If financing is not available to us, such
severe limitation might cause us to consider a consolidation of existing common equity as a means to
attract financing and maintain our business.
Mobetize has adopted a stock option plan pursuant to which it can grant up to 3,000,000 options to
purchase shares of its common stock to employees, directors, officers, consultants or advisors on the
terms and conditions set forth therein. As of December 31, 2016, 2,060,000 options with an exercise price
of $0.60 had been granted, 1,469,500 of which have vested. Except for the 2015 Stock Option Plan,
Mobetize has no other defined benefit plan with any of its officers or directors.
Mobetize has no lines of credit or other bank financing arrangements in place.
Mobetize has no commitments for future capital expenditures that are material.
Mobetize has no current plans for the purchase or sale of any plant or equipment.
Mobetize has no current plans to make any changes in the number of employees.
Mobetize does not expect to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
20
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
As of December 31, 2016, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are
reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial
condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources
that are material to investors.
GOING CONCERN
The independent auditors' report accompanying our March 31, 2016, financial statements contained an
explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies that
Mobetize will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.
As of December 31, 2016, Mobetize had an accumulated deficit of $7,071,813, a history of net losses and
cash used in operating activities, and a working capital deficiency of $710,669. These factors raise
substantial doubt regarding Mobetize's ability to continue as a going concern. The continuation of
Mobetize as a going concern is dependent upon continued financial support from management, increasing
revenue, procuring additional debt or equity financing as necessary, decreasing operating costs, realizing
commercially viable products, and generating a profit. These financial statements do not include any
adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of
liabilities that might be necessary should Mobetize be unable to continue as a going concern.
CRITITCAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Our significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 2 to our financial statements. While the
selection and application of any accounting policy may involve some level of subjective judgments and
estimates, we believe the following accounting policies are the most critical to our financial statements,
potentially involve the most subjective judgments in their selection and application, and are the most
susceptible to uncertainties and changing conditions.
Mobetize recognizes revenue from payment processing, licensing, and provision of professional services.
Revenue will be recognized only when the price is fixed and determinable, persuasive evidence of an
arrangement exists, the service has been provided, and collectability is reasonably assured.
Stock-Based Compensation
Mobetize records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation – Stock
Compensation, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense based on
estimated fair values for all share-based awards made to employees and directors, including stock options.
ASC 718 requires companies to estimate the fair value of share-based awards on the date of grant using
an option-pricing model. Mobetize uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model as its method of
determining fair value. This model is affected by Mobetize's stock price as well as assumptions regarding
a number of subjective variables. These subjective variables include, but are not limited to Mobetize's
expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, and actual and projected employee stock
option exercise behaviors. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is
recognized as an expense in the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss over the requisite
service period. Options granted to consultants are valued at the fair value of the equity instruments issued,
or the fair value of the services received, whichever is more reliably measurable.
21
Embedded Conversion Features
Mobetize evaluates embedded conversion features within convertible debt under ASC 815 Derivatives
and Hedging to determine whether the embedded conversion feature(s) should be bifurcated from the host
instrument and accounted for as a derivative at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in income
(loss). If the conversion feature does not require derivative treatment under ASC 815, the instrument is
evaluated under ASC 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options for consideration of any
beneficial conversion feature.
Derivative Financial Instruments
Mobetize does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign
currency risks. Mobetize evaluates all of it financial instruments, including stock purchase warrants and
stock options, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as
embedded derivatives.
For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is
initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair
value reported as charges or credits to income (loss). For option-based simple derivative financial
instruments, Mobetize uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to value the derivative instruments at
inception and subsequent valuation dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether
such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting
period.
Beneficial Conversion Feature
For conventional convertible debt where the rate of conversion is below market value, Mobetize records a
Beneficial Conversion Feature and related debt discount.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Not required of smaller reporting companies.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended ("Exchange Act"), are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed
in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported
within the time periods specified in rules and forms adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission
("Commission"), and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including
the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosures.
Based on that evaluation, Mobetize's management concluded, as of the end of the period covered by this
report, that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective in recording, processing,
summarizing, and reporting information required to be disclosed, within the time periods specified in the
Commission's rules and forms, and that such information was not accumulated and communicated to
management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely
decisions regarding required disclosures.
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
During the quarter ended December 31, 2016, there has been no change in internal control over financial
reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over
financial reporting.

PART II. –- OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Management is not aware of any legal proceedings contemplated by any governmental authority or any
other party involving us or our properties. As of the date of this report, no director, officer or affiliate is
(i) a party adverse to us in any legal proceeding, or (ii) has an adverse interest to us in any legal

Stephen J. Fowler
Mobetize received a Citation and Notice of Assessment dated October 14, 2016 ("Citation"), that Stephen
J. Fowler ("Fowler"), its former CFO, had initiated a complaint with the State of Washington Department
of Labor and Industries for amounts allegedly due to him for unpaid wages. The Citation declared that
Fowler is owed $45,000 in wages in addition to an assessed interest of $3,368.74, and a penalty of
$4,500. On November 8, 2016, Mobetize entered an appeal alleging that the calculation of amounts due
to Fowler was incorrect and that Fowler had improperly obtained shares of its common stock which it
intends to recover. Mobetize received a response from the Department of Labor and Industries dated
November 18, 2016, in which it was advised that Fowler's claim had been transferred to the Office of the
Attorney General and that a hearing on the matter would be requested of the Office of Administrative
Hearings. A date for the hearing is yet to be assigned.

Donald Duberstein convertible into shares of Mobetize's common stock for an aggregate amount of
$20,000, net of $2,400 in pre paid interest of 6% over a one year term convertible at the option of holder
after 180 days of issuance at a $0.25 per share pursuant to the exemptions from registration provided by
Section 4(2) and Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("Securities Act").
