As of March 31, 2021 and for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020

1. NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS

CurrencyWorks Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on July 20, 2010, with an authorized capital of 75,000,000 common shares, having a par value of $0.001 per share. During the period ended December 31, 2010, the Company commenced operations by issuing shares and developing its publishing service business, focused on representing authors to publishers.

On February 14, 2018, the Company changed its name from “AppCoin Innovations Inc.” to “ICOx Innovations Inc.”

On August 17, 2018, a subsidiary of the Company changed its name from “AppCoin Innovations (USA) Inc.” to “ICOx USA, Inc.”

On November 19, 2018, we incorporated a new Delaware subsidiary, GN Innovations, Inc., to provide blockchain technology opportunities to the sports and entertainment industry by working with large and well-established brands.

Effective December 5, 2018, we effected a name change for our subsidiary from “GN Innovations, Inc.” to “GN1, Inc.”.

Effective February 6, 2019, we effected a name change for our subsidiary from “GN1, Inc.” to “sBetOne, Inc.”.

On September 3, 2019, the Company changed its name from “ICOx Innovations Inc.” to “CurrencyWorks Inc.” and a subsidiary of the Company changed its name from “ICOx USA, Inc.” to “CurrencyWorks USA Inc.”.

The Company’s business model is to provide a turnkey set of services for companies to develop and integrate blockchain and cryptocurrency technologies into their business operations. The Company will enable its customers to focus on their core competencies while providing the necessary resources and expertise to execute a strategy that will enable companies to integrate new blockchain plus cryptocurrency technologies into their business operations. The Company will be compensated on a fee-for-services model. The Company may also accept tokens or coins in payment for its services, to the extent permitted under applicable law.

The Company’s services will include strategic planning, project planning, structure development and administration, business plan modeling, technology development support, whitepaper preparation, due diligence reporting, governance planning and management.

Going Concern

These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The Company has incurred losses since inception resulting in an accumulated deficit of $58,187,379 as of March 31, 2021 and further losses are anticipated in the pursuit of the Company’s new service business opportunity, raising substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company generating profitable operations in the future and/or obtaining the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. Management intends to finance operating costs over the next twelve months with existing cash on hand, loans from directors and/or the private placement of common stock/warrants.

The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States of America.

Basis of Consolidation

The unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

Unaudited Interim Financial Information

The accompanying unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information, and with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Unaudited interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full fiscal year. These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2020 and notes thereto contained in the information as part of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the SEC on March 30, 2021.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements in conformity with 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 interim consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates and these differences could be material.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include short-term, highly liquid investments, such as certificates of deposit or money market funds that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and have original maturities of three months or less. All cash balances are held by major banking institutions.

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, prepaid expenses, short-term loans receivable, trade payables and convertible notes payable approximate their fair value due to the short-term maturity of such instruments.

Earnings per Share

The Company computes earnings (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 105, “Earnings per Share” which requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share on the face of the statement of operations. Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. At March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020, common shares from the conversion of debt (shares) (Note 4) and outstanding of stock options (shares) (Note 11) have not been included as their effect is not dilutive.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company has adopted FASB guidance on stock-based compensation. Under FASB ASC 718-10-30-2, all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fairvalues. The fair value of the options is calculated based off the Black Scholes valuation model (Note 11).

The Company has issued stock options to employees and non-employees. Stock options granted to non-employees for services or performance not yet rendered would be expensed over the service period or until the goals had been reached. The fair value calculation valued as at the grant date. The stock options granted to non-employees during the period ended March 31, 2021 were for services to be rendered and, as such, the expense will be amortized over the service period.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, convertible notes, and payables. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents and payables approximates fair value because of the short-term nature of these items.

When determining fair value, whenever possible, the Company use observable market data, and relies on unobservable inputs only when observable market data is not available. As of March 31, 2021, and March 31, 2020, the Company did not have any level 1 or 2 financial instruments. Please see Note 6 for additional information on level 3 fair value of financial instruments.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging Contracts in Entity s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity s Own Equity. ASU 2020-06 will simplify the accounting for convertible instruments by reducing the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock. Limiting the accounting models results in fewer embedded conversion features being separately recognized from the host contract as compared with current GAAP. Convertible instruments that continue to be subject to separation models are (1) those with embedded conversion features that are not clearly and closely related to the host contract, that meet the definition of a derivative, and that do not qualify for a scope exception from derivative accounting and (2) convertible debt instruments issued with substantial premiums for which the premiums are recorded as paid-in capital. ASU 2020-06 also amends the guidance for the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity to reduce form-over-substance-based accounting conclusions. ASU 2020-06 will be effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Management has not yet evaluated the impact that the adoption of ASU 2020-06 will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statement presentation or disclosures.

Digital Currency Valuation

Digital currencies consist of cryptocurrency denominated assets and are included in current assets. Digital currencies are carried at their fair market value determined by an average spot rate of the most liquid digital currency exchanges. On an interim basis, we recognize decreases in the value of the assets caused by market declines. Subsequent increases in the value of these assets through market price recoveries during the same fiscal year are recognized in the later interim period, but may not exceed the total previously recognized decreases in value during the same year. Such unrealized gains or losses resulting from changes the value of the digital currency are recorded in Other Income, net in the consolidated statements of operations. Gains and losses realized upon sale of digital currencies are also recorded in Other Income, net in the consolidated statement of operations.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)

Fair market value is determined by taking the average spot rate from the most liquid digital currency exchanges. Digital currencies are measured using level one fair values, determined by taking the rate from market currency exchanges. Digital currency prices are affected by various forces including global supply and demand, interest rates, exchange rates, inflation or deflation and the global political and economic conditions. The Company may not be able to liquidate its inventory of digital currency at its desired price if required. A decline in the market prices for digital currencies could negatively impact the Company’s future operations. The digital currency market is still a new market and is highly volatile; historical prices are not necessarily indicative of future value; a significant change in the market prices for digital currencies would have a significant impact on the Company’s earnings and financial position.

The Company did not hold any digital currency as at March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 606, Revenue Recognition. The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the related services are rendered or delivery has occurred.

The Company primarily generates revenues from professional services consulting agreements. These arrangements are generally multiple arrangements entered into on a contingent fee basis. There is no prepayment or retainer required prior to performing services and the entire fees is earned on a contingent basis. The Company also provides monthly post-business launch support services. The recurring monthly post-business launch support services are recognized as revenue each month that the subscription is maintained.

The Company generally enters into 1 year arrangements with renewal options for which revenues are contingent upon achieving a pre-determined deliverable or future outcome. Any contingent revenue for these arrangements is not recognized until the contingency is resolved and collectability is reasonably assured. The arrangements are individually detailed based on the needs of the clients with fees outlined in a schedule attached to the agreement.

Differences between the timing of billings and the recognition of revenue are recognized as either unbilled revenue (a component of accounts receivable) or deferred revenue on the consolidated balance sheet. Revenues recognized for services performed but not yet billed to clients are recorded as unbilled revenue.

Reimbursable expenses, including those relating to travel, other out-of-pocket expenses and any third-party costs, are included as a component of revenues. Typically, an equivalent amount of reimbursable expenses are included in total direct client service costs. Taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are presented in the statement of operations on a net basis.

Costs to obtain contracts are capitalized and amortized over the course of the revenue cycle.

Deferred Revenue

The Company’s policy is to defer revenue that relate to services that have not yet been performed. Deferred revenue is recognized when the service has been performed.

Service Costs

The Company’s policy is to defer direct service costs that relate to the earning of contingent fee revenue. These deferred costs are expensed when the contingent fee revenue is recognized or when the earning the contingent fee revenue is in doubt.

3. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

As at March 31, 2021, the Company had outstanding accounts receivables of $2,833 compared to $90,333 as at December 31, 2020.

4. NOTES PAYABLE

The amendments also state that the interest is payable only in cash on a quarterly basis commencing December 1, 2018 on March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31 of each year until the Maturity Date or earlier on the date that all amounts owing under this Note are prepaid by the Company. The principal, and the interest calculated until November 30, 2018, may still be converted to shares.

4. NOTES PAYABLE (CONT’D)

The balances of the convertible notes outstanding as at December 31, 2020 were as follows:

⁽¹⁾ The principal of the note, and the interest calculated up to November 30, 2018, may be converted into shares of common stock of the Company at a conversion price of $0.03 per share.

⁽²⁾ The note may be converted into shares of common stock of the Company at a conversion price of $0.10 per share.

⁽³⁾ The principal of the note has been converted into equity with the remaining interest outstanding to be payable.

⁽⁴⁾ These promissory notes are un-secured and payable on demand with no maturity date

Based upon the balances as of March 31, 2021, the convertible notes and the related interest will come due in the following years:

The warrants are valued on the date of issuance and revalued at each reporting period. The Company recorded initial derivative liabilities on June 12, 2020 of $132,451 based upon the following Black-Sholes option pricing model assumptions: an exercise price of CAD$0.10, our stock price on the date of grant of CAD$0.09, expected dividend yield of 0%, expected volatility of 38.16%, risk free interest rate of 0.19%, expected term of 2.0 years and foreign exchange rate of 1.3596.

8. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

In support of the Company’s efforts and cash requirements, it may rely on advances from stockholders until such time as the Company can support its operations through revenue generation or attain adequate financing through sales of its equity or traditional debt financing.

The Company engaged two clients to build out their business models, technology strategy, market entry strategy, and capital structure, including a blockchain platform launch. The Company signed an agreement with BIG in which 80% of the revenue received is reimbursed to BIG for expenses incurred to meet the performance obligations as outlined

On February 7, 2020, we entered into an amendment to the loan agreement and termination of business services agreement (the “Agreement”) with Ryde GmbH (“Borrower”) and Ryde Holding Inc. (“Customer”).

Pursuant to the loan agreement with Ryde GmbH (“Borrower”) dated July 27, 2018, as amended on July 12, 2019 and September 30, 2019, we transferred to Borrower $500,000 on or about July 9, 2018 and $750,000 on or about July 27, 2018 and Borrower owes us $1,250,000, plus accrued interest. Under the Agreement, the parties agreed that commencing on January 1, 2020, interest will commence accruing on the outstanding principal balance of the loan at a rate of 6% per annum (previously 12% per annum for the $500,000 loan and 2% per annum for the $750,000 loan provided, however, any amounts not paid thereunder when due would have immediately commence accruing interest at a default rate of 18% per annum and 12% per annum respectively for both the loans) and if there is any default on the terms of the loan agreement, default interest at the lesser of 18% per annum and the highest rate permitted by applicable law will be deemed to have retroactively been accruing on the loan as of January 1, 2020 and will continue accrue until the earlier of the date such default is cured and the date the loan is repaid in full.

In addition, under the Agreement, Borrower agreed to pay us $125,000 on or before February 7, 2020 as payment in full of all interest accrued under the loan agreement through December 31, 2019 and commencing on March 31, 2020, Borrower agreed to make quarterly interest only payments on or before the last day of each calendar quarter until such time as the loan is repaid in full.

In addition, under the Agreement, Borrower paid us $150,000 on February 7, 2020, which reduced the outstanding principal balance of the loan by $150,000. Borrower agreed that the remaining unpaid principal balance of the loan and all accrued and unpaid interest, will be due and paid in full on or before the earlier of (a) December 31, 2021, and (b) March 31, 2021, provided, Borrower has Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization or EBITDA as defined under United States GAAP of more than $5,000,000, for the 12-month period ending March 31, 2021, as certified by an independent auditor appointed by Borrower. If Borrower does not provide such certified financial statements on or before March 31, 2021, Borrower agreed that the remaining unpaid principal balance of the loan and all accrued and unpaid interest, will be immediately due and paid in full.

On February 7, 2020, Borrower paid us a total of $27,500 for expense reimbursement.

The Company is currently renegotiating the terms with the Borrower. As of March 31, 2021, the Borrower has paid the interest owing to the Company.

In addition, we terminated the Business Services Agreement (“BSA”) with Ryde Holding Inc. (“Customer”) dated December 29, 2017, as amended on March 15, 2018, July 9, 2018 and October 29, 2018. Customer agreed to issue to us 10 million KodakOne Tokens after their issuance. As per the BSA we had agreed to provide consulting of corporate development and governance, business development and technical services, business awareness services, financial and administrative services, and media management services. In addition, we agreed to provide to Customer the monthly services from January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020 consisting of board and corporate strategy management and board and corporate governance management. Customer has since acquired internal resources to provide the services as anticipated under the BSA and hence both the parties had mutually agreed to terminate the BSA in exchange for 10 million KodakOne Tokens which are to be issued after their issuance.

Each unit consisted of one share of common stock and one warrant with an exercise price of CAD $0.10 per warrant share for a period of 2 years from the date of closing. The Company received aggregate gross proceeds of USD$410,783 (the “Offering”) of which $278,332 is allocated to common shares and $132,451 is allocated to the warrants. See Note 6 and Note 7 for calculations. The warrants issued by the Company are denominated in CAD at issuance. The Company’s functional currency is the USD. Under U.S. GAAP, where the strike price of warrants is denominated in a currency other than an entity’s functional currency the warrants would not be considered indexed to the entity’s own stock and would consequently be considered to be a derivative liability. Therefore, the value of the warrants needs to be included as a derivative liability.

In connection with the offering, the Company has agreed to issue 80,000 broker’s warrants to the Finders. Each broker warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Unit (each, a “Broker Unit”) at a price of $0.05 per Broker Unit, with each Broker Unit consisting of one Share and one share purchase warrant entitling the holder to purchase an additional share at a price of $0.10 for a period of two years.

On December 31, 2020, there were 500,000 warrants exercised for common shares. On March 31, 2021, there were 5,441,250 warrants exercised and 325,000 options exercised for common shares.

On January 5, 2021 the Company completed a private placement where 2,400,000 units were issued, consisting of one common share and one common share purchase warrant issued at a price of $0.40 (Canadian dollars (“CAD”)) for total gross proceeds of $300,000 CAD ($236,090 USD). The derivative liability valuation of the warrants issued is $1,559,108.

February 4, 2021 the Company completed a private placement where 8,000,000 units were issued, consisting of one common share and one common share purchase warrant issued at a price of $0.40 (Canadian dollars (“CAD”)) for total gross proceeds of $4,000,000 CAD ($3,118,179 USD). The derivative liability valuation of the warrants issued is $1,818,140.

On March 23, 2021, the Company completed a private placement where 1,200,000 units were issued, consisting of one common share and one common share purchase warrant issued at a price of $1 (United States dollars (“USD”)) for total gross proceeds of $1,200,000 USD.

11. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company has adopted the 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (“the Plan”) under which non-transferable options to purchase common shares of the Company may be granted to directors, officers, employees, or consultants of the Company. The terms of the Plan provide thatour board of directors may grant options to acquire common shares of the Company at not less than 100% of the greater of: (i) the fair market value of the shares underlying the options on the grant date and (ii) the fair market value of the shares underlying the options on the date preceding the grant date at terms of up to ten years. No amounts are paid or payable by the recipient on receipt of the options. On December 7, 2020, the maximum number of options available for grant was increased to 6,985,207 shares. As of March 31, 2021, there are 5,555,000 stock options issued (March 31, 2020 – 3,500,000) and 1,430,207 stock options unissued (March 31, 2020 – 400,000).

The Company has also granted stock options to non-employees. These stock options were granted to consultants who have provided their services for cash compensation below cost, with the stock options providing additional compensation in lieu of cash.

On February 10, 2021, the Company granted a total of 2,200,000 stock options to officers and directors of the Company. The stock options are exercisable at the exercise price of $1.17 per share for a period of ten years from the date of grant. The stock options have a fair value of $1.09 and are exercisable as follows:

On March 19, 2021, the Company granted a total of 180,000 stock options to a consultant of the Company. The stock options are exercisable at the exercise price of $3.19 per share for a period of ten years from the date of grant. The stock options have a fair value of $2.87 and are exercisable as follows:

Stock-based compensation expense recognized for the periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 were $1,140,162 and $8,595 respectively. Stock options granted are valued at the fair value calculation based off the Black-Scholes valuation model. The weighted average assumptions used in the calculation are as follows:

11. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION (CONT’D)

12. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Fair value is an exit price representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or aid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability.

A three-tier fair value hierarchy is established as a base for considering such assumptions and for inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:

The derivative liabilities would be classified as a level 3 financial instrument.

13. NON-CONTROLLING INTEREST

For sBetOne, Inc., on April 1, 2019, the Company transferred 2,000,000 of its shares to a third-party and cancelled 1,097,826 of its shares. Additionally, 2,097,826 shares of sBetOne, Inc. were issued to third-parties, reducing the Company’s ownership in this subsidiary to 59.02%

Operating Expenses

We incurred general and administrative expenses of $1,548,742 and $171,428 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, representing an increase of $1,377,314 between the two periods. These expenses consisted primarily of stock-based compensation expense for issuance of options, consulting fees, pre-licensing fees, professional fees, and other general and administrative costs. The increase in stock-based compensation of $777,284 is due to the issuance of options to the directors of the Company. The increase in consulting fees between the two periods from $564,148 in 2021 from $46,160 in 2020 was mainly due to the issuance of options for a consultant with stock-based compensation expense of $354,817 as well as an increase in compensation for our president, chief operating officer, and Board of Directors. Professional fees increased from $9,379 in 2020 to $55,872 in 2021 due to increased legal services as 2021 saw the Company raised equity in Q1.

Other Income (Expense)

Other income includes $16,500 of recovered receivables received in Q1 2021 from Ryde Holdings. Other expenses include interest expense on convertible notes payable of $45,959 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to $37,919 for the same period last year.

Current assets were $4,671,047 as at March 31, 2021 and $142,024 at December 31, 2020. The increase in current assets as at March 31, 2021 is mainly due to share issuance, warrant, and option exercises in Q1 2021.

Investing Activities Subsequent to March 31, 2021

Effective as of May 5, 2021, we loaned $400,000 to Fogdog Energy Solutions Inc. pursuant to convertible promissory note. The note bears interest at a rate of 4% per annum and comes due on May 5, 2022. The note may not be prepaid without the written consent of our company. Our chief financial officer, secretary and treasurer, Swapan Kakumanu, is a director, chief financial officer and a shareholder of Fogdog.

Cash Requirements

Our estimated general and administrative expenses, operating expenses, and service costs for the next 12 months are $12,000,000 and are based on our current expenditures given the current market conditions.

We will require additional cash resources to meet our planned capital expenditures and working capital requirements for the next 12 months. We expect to derive such cash through the sale of equity or debt securities or by obtaining a credit facility. The sale of additional equity securities will result in dilution to our stockholders. The incurrence of indebtedness will result in debt service obligations, could cause additional dilution to our stockholders, and could require us to agree to financial covenants that could restrict our operations or modify our plans to source a new business opportunity. Financing may not be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. Failure to raise additional funds could cause our company to fail.

Going Concern

Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. We have not yet established a source of revenues sufficient to cover our operating costs and to allow us to continue as a going concern. We have incurred losses since inception resulting in an accumulated deficit of $58,187,379 as at March 31, 2021 (December 31, 2020: $13,323,375). Our ability to operate as a going concern is dependent on obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until we become profitable.

In its report on our financial statements for the periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, our independent registered public accounting firm included an explanatory paragraph regarding substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no 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.
