Financial Statement Restatement

Goldmoney also announces the restatement of previously issued financial statements for the years ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 (the “Restatement”).

Since the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary Goldmoney.com was founded, client cash and client precious metals had been treated as an off-balance sheet item and clearly disclosed as such in the Notes to the Company’s audited annual financial statements. The Restatement recognizes and presents client cash within Goldmoney.com on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet with a corresponding liability. This has been presented in prior years as a line item separate from the Company’s cash and cash equivalents. Consequently, the March 31, 2024, audited consolidated financial statements have been restated to capture this change in presentation, along with the related management’s discussion and analysis, and the 2024 Annual Information Form (collectively, the “Restatement Package”). This restated accounting presentation for client cash has also been reflected in the Company’s December 31, 2024, unaudited interim financial statements. There has been no impact to the Company’s financial statement presentation of historic equity or earnings as a result of this restatement.

The Restatement has been approved by the Board of Directors on the recommendation of the Audit Committee and management in connection with a review of its historic accounting treatment of client cash as off-balance sheet assets. Management considers these restatements to result from a material weakness in internal controls over financial reporting, and accordingly has implemented measures to address this weakness. As described in the restated annual information form and other public disclosure, Goldmoney Inc.’s wholly owned subsidiary Goldmoney.com operates an online platform which provides clients with access to purchase and sell precious metals, and to arrange for custody and storage in accordance with the terms of a standard-form client agreement available on the Goldmoney website (the “Client Agreement”). Cash balances used to settle purchases and sales are held in Company bank accounts.

Shareholders and users of Goldmoney’s financial statements should note that the Restatement is not a result of any change to its operations, business or financial operating performance for the restated periods. The Company continues to hold customer cash on behalf of its clients in accordance with and in full compliance with all of the terms of the Client Agreement.

The Restatement Documents have been filed at Sedar+ www.sedarplus.ca with the unaudited interim financial statements for the three- and nine-month period ended December 31, 2024, with restated unaudited comparative interim financial statements the three- and nine-month period ended December 31, 2023.

The effect of the restatement on the condensed consolidated interim statement of financial position and condensed consolidated interim statements of cash flows for the periods ended June 30, 2024 and September 30, 2024 are as follows:

Non-IFRS Measures

This news release contains non-IFRS financial measures; the Company believes that these measures provide investors with useful supplemental information about the financial performance of its business, enable comparison of financial results between periods where certain items may vary independent of business performance, and allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in operating its business.

These non-IFRS financial measures do not have any standardized meaning and may not be comparable with similar measures used by other companies. For certain non-IFRS financial measures, there are no directly comparable amounts under IFRS. These non-IFRS financial measures should not be viewed as alternatives to measures of financial performance determined in accordance with IFRS. Moreover, presentation of certain of these measures is provided for year-over-year comparison purposes, and investors should be cautioned that the effect of the adjustments thereto provided herein have an actual effect on the Company's operating results.

Tangible Capital is a non-IFRS measure. This figure excludes from total shareholder equity (i) intangibles, and (ii) goodwill, and is useful to demonstrate the tangible capital employed by the business.

Non-IFRS Adjusted Net Income is a non-IFRS measure, defined as total comprehensive income (loss) adjusted for non-cash and non-core items which include, but is not limited to, revaluation of precious metal inventories, fair value movements, stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, foreign exchange fluctuations and gains and losses on investments.
