business, the Company has booked an impairment loss of $2,578,001 in the consolidated statement of
operations and comprehensive income (loss) for Q2", said
Tom Beckerman, Prodigy's Chairman
and CEO. "Prodigy's pipeline for its
tunlTM open banking and IDVerifactTM

Adjusted EBITDA is a
non-IFRS financial measure, which is defined as earnings before
income tax expense, finance costs, depreciation and amortization,
impairment loss and share-based compensation. We exclude these
items because they affect the comparability of our financial
results and could potentially distort the analysis of trends in our
business performance. Adjusted EBITDA is used by management to
assess our operating performance. The presentation of Adjusted
EBITDA is to provide additional useful information to investors and
analysts and the measure does not have any standardized meaning
under IFRS. Adjusted EBITDA should therefore not be considered in
isolation or used in substitute for measures of performance
prepared in accordance with IFRS. Other issuers may calculate
Adjusted EBITDA differently.

regarding non-IFRS financial measures including a quantitative
reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA, please see the Company's
Management's Discussion and Analysis for the three and six months
ended June 30, 2022 under the heading "Non-IFRS Financial
Measures".

Forward-Looking and Cautionary Statements
Certain information set out in this news release constitutes
forward-looking information. Forward looking statements are often,
but not always, identified by the use of words such as "seek",
"anticipate", "plan", "continue", "estimate", "expect", "may",
"will", "intend", "could", "might", "should", "believe" and similar
expressions. Such forward looking information includes references
to Prodigy's pipeline for its tunlTM open banking and
IDVerifactTM digital identity platforms, the possibility
for additional high margin recurring revenue and the timing and
ability to close the opportunities in the pipeline. Although the
Company believes that the expectations reflected in such
forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions,
and that information obtained from third party sources is reliable,
they can give no assurance that those expectations will prove to
have been correct. The assumptions on which the foregoing
statements are based include a review of the sales channel for the
platforms and the Company's historical experience regarding the
timing to close on such opportunities. Readers are cautioned not to
place undue reliance on forward-looking statements included in this
document, as there can be no assurance that the plans, intentions
or expectations upon which the forward-looking statements are based
will occur. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve
numerous assumptions, known and unknown risks and uncertainties
that contribute to the possibility that the predictions, forecasts,
projections and other forward-looking statements will not occur,
which may cause actual results in future periods to differ
materially from any estimates or projections of future performance
or results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.
These risks and uncertainties include, among other things, risk
factors set forth in the Company's Management's Discussion and
Analysis for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, a copy of which is filed on SEDAR
at www.sedar.com. Readers are cautioned that this list of risk
factors should not be construed as exhaustive. These statements are
made as at the date hereof and unless otherwise required by law,
the Company does not intend, or assume any obligation, to update
these forward-looking statements.
Non-IFRS Financial Measures
Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with
International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). Certain
financial measures in this press release are not prescribed by
IFRS. These non-IFRS financial measures are included because
management uses the information to analyze operating performance.
These non-IFRS financial measures do not have any standardized
meaning and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar
measures presented by other companies. Except as otherwise
indicated, these non-IFRS measures are calculated and disclosed on
a consistent basis from period to period.
Neither TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services
Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX
