DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
As
of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 40-F, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision of and
with the participation of the management of RESAAS Services Inc. (the “
Registrant
”), including the Chief Executive
Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures (as
defined in Rule 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “
Exchange Act
”)). Based on that evaluation,
the Registrant’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures
were effective as of December 31, 2016. In addition, there was no change in the Registrant’s internal control over financial
reporting during the year ended December 31, 2016 that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the
Registrant’s internal control over financial reporting.
MANAGEMENT’S ANNUAL REPORT ON INTERNAL
CONTROL
OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
Management’s
Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our
management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules
13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Internal control over financial reporting is a
process designed by, or under the supervision of, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and effected by our
board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting
and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness
of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in
Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013)
issued
by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO). Based on such evaluation, our management concluded that our internal control
over financial reporting was effective at a reasonable assurance level as of December 31, 2016.
This
Annual Report on Form 40-F does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding
internal control over financial reporting due to a transition period established by the Securities and Exchange Commission for
newly public companies under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act.
Changes
in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the year
ended December 31, 2016 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control
over financial reporting.
AUDIT COMMITTEE AND AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL
EXPERT
The Registrant’s Common Shares are listed
on the Canadian Securities Exchange and, although the Registrant’s Common Shares are quoted on the OTCQX Marketplace, the

are J. Chris Morgando, Cory Brandolini and Adrian Barrett. Each member of the Registrant’s Audit Committee is “financially
literate,” as defined in applicable Canadian rules governing the Registrant. In addition, the Registrant’s Board of
Directors has determined that Mr. Morgando, who serves as Chairman of the Audit Committee, is an “audit committee financial
expert,” as defined in Instruction B(8) to Form 40-F, and is “independent” under the rules of the NASDAQ Stock
Market LLC.
The SEC has indicated that the designation of
Mr. Morgando as an audit committee financial expert does not make him an “expert” for any purpose, impose any duties,
obligations or liability on him that are greater than those imposed on members of the Registrant’s Audit Committee and Board
of Directors who do not carry this designation or affect the duties, obligations or liability of any other member of the Audit
Committee.

The Registrant has adopted a Code of Ethics
and Business Conduct that applies to all of its directors, employees and officers, including its principal executive officer,
