ICOx Innovations Inc.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
As of September 30, 2018 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017
1. NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS
ICOx Innovations 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.”
The Company’s new 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 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 $3,678,028 and $693,008 as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, 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.
In order to address the above factors, during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company completed private placements of an aggregate of 9,113,659 shares of common stock at a price of $0.60 per share for aggregate gross proceeds of $5,468,195.
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 interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States of America.

ICOx Innovations Inc.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
As of September 30, 2018 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)
Basis of Consolidation
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
Unaudited Interim Financial Information
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed 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 interim condensed consolidated financial statements furnished 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 interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2017 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 April 2, 2018.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of interim condensed 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 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.
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 September 30, 2018, common shares from the conversion of debt (11,760,208 shares) (Note 3) and exercise of stock options (880,553 shares) (Note 9) have been excluded as their effect is anti-dilutive. At September 30, 2017, common shares from the conversion of debt (7,159,969 shares) and exercise of stock options (nil) have been excluded as their effect is anti-dilutive.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 606, Revenue Recognition.
The Company primarily generates revenues from professional services consulting agreements. These arrangements are generally 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 arrangements 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.

As of September 30, 2018 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)
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.
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.
Reclassification
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2017 financial statements in order for them to conform to the 2018 presentation. Such reclassifications have no impact on the Company’s financial position or results or operations.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
Statement of Cash Flows (ASU 2016-15)
This update provides specific guidance to clarify how entities should classify certain cash receipts and cash payments on the statement of cash flows. The update also clarifies the application of the predominance principle when cash receipts and cash payments have aspects of more than one class of cash flows. The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2018. The adoption of this update had no material effect on our financial statements.
Financial Instruments – Recognition and Measurement (ASU 2016-01)
This update retains the current accounting for classifying and measuring investments in debt securities and loans, but requires equity investments to be measured at fair value with subsequent changes recognized in net income, except for those accounted for under the equity method or requiring consolidation. The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2018. The adoption of this update had no material effect on our financial statements.
Future Accounting Pronouncements
Leases (ASU 2016-02)
In February 2016, the FASB issued new guidance, ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The main difference between current U.S. GAAP and the new guidance is the recognition of lease liabilities based on the present value of remaining lease payments and corresponding lease assets for operating leases under current U.S. GAAP with limited exception. Additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures are also required by the new guidance. Topic 842 is effective for annual reporting periods (including interim reporting periods) beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the amendments to determine if they have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses of Financial Instruments, which changes the methodology for measuring credit losses on financial instruments and the timing of when such losses are recorded. This guidance will be effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of this ASU on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

7. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (CONT’D)
On December 29, 2017, the Company signed a master service agreement with Ryde, a company in which there is a common director. The agreement was amended on March 15, 2018, pursuant to which the Company changed the scope of services to provide Ryde with the services in connection with Ryde’s development of an image rights management and protection platform (the “Platform”) using blockchain technology, including (i) the business development and technical services, (ii) the business launch services and (iii) the post-business launch support services. The business services agreement with Ryde provides that the fees for the services provided in connection with the development and launch of the Platform (the business development and technical services and business launch services) were deemed earned on the date of execution of the business services agreement. The Company has waived Ryde’s requirement to pay the $250,000 fixed fee in connection with the business development and technical services as a concession. The Company has recognized the business development and technical service fee of $500,000 during the year end December 31, 2017, paid in January by Ryde upon the completion of its first round of pre-ICO fundraising. Also, as a condition for entering into the loan agreement (Note 5), Ryde entered into the amendment no. 2, dated as of July 9, 2018, to the business service agreement dated December 29, 2017 as amended as of March 15, 2018, with our company. Pursuant to the amendment no. 2, the Company and Ryde agreed that each party will be responsible for its respective expenses and agreed not to charge any out of pocket expenses to the other party unless expressly approved by the other party in advance in writing.

Under the amendment no. 3, the Company agreed to provide to Ryde the services from October 1, 2018 to December 31, 2019 (the “2018-19 Services”) consisting of corporate development and governance, business development and technical services, business awareness services, financial and administrative services, and media management services. In addition, the Company agreed to provide to Ryde the monthly services from January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020 (the “2020 Monthly Services”) consisting of board and corporate strategy management and board and corporate governance management.
In consideration for the 2018-19 Services, Ryde agreed to pay a fixed fee of $1,100,000, which is deemed earned as of October 1, 2018, under the agreement, but is not due and payable until Ryde closes on the sale of Simple Agreements for Future Tokens (“SAFTs”), equity, or token financings, joint venture financings, or any of its affiliates, in a minimum aggregate amount of $12,000,000, including closings occurring prior to October 1, 2018. In consideration for the 2020 Monthly Services fees, Ryde agreed to pay a monthly fee of $35,000 at the beginning of each month commencing January 1, 2020. All fees and other amounts paid to the Company with respect to the Company’s services provided prior to the amendment no. 3 have been earned in connection with the prior services and will not be credited against any of the above fees or other amounts due under the amendment no. 3.
In addition, the amendment no. 3 provides for additional fees for the 2018-19 Services relating to success of Ryde’s business, including the engagement of an investment banker and certain financing milestones and additional fees and milestone fees relating to the achievements of certain net revenues and creation of a business relationship that increases the value of Ryde. The Company will not provide any services related to any financings to be conducted by Ryde. The Company will also receive 20 million tokens based upon 100 million tokens issued, which number will be increased on a pro rata basis, if at any time, Ryde issues more than 100 million tokens (the “Token Fee”). The Token Fee has been previously earned and will be issued in connection with the first release of any tokens to any party.
However, if the business services agreement is terminated before December 31, 2019, (a) the fee for the 2018-19 Services will be immediately due in full (but only if the foregoing $12,000,000 financing is closed either before or after the termination date), (b) any additional fees and milestone fees earned will be immediately paid in full (if the condition precedent/milestones are achieved), (c) the Token Fee will be immediately transferred to the Company, and (d) any future adjustment in the number of tokens issued by Ryde, to over 100,000,000, will result in the immediately issuance to our company of 20% of such additional tokens.

Results of Operations
Three Months Ended September 30, 2018 Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2017
Revenue
We had no revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017.
Operating Expenses
We incurred general and administrative expenses and related party consulting of $914,153 and $67,022 for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, representing an increase of $847,131 between the two periods. These expenses consisted primarily of consulting fees, professional fees, and other general and administrative costs. The increase in consulting fees between the two periods from $56,500 in 2017 to $342,361 in 2018 was due to the consulting agreement with Business Instincts Group Inc. to provide strategic and project management services as well as consulting agreements with our senior and executive staff. Business Instincts Group Inc. is a related party as Cameron Chell is a common director of the companies. Professional fees increased from $8,450 in 2017 to $95,895 in 2018 and the increase was primarily due to obtaining a legal opinion letter and higher review expenses. The increase in other general and administrative costs increased from $2,062 in 2017 to $475,635 in 2018 due to increased travel costs, advertising and marketing costs, compliance fees, and stock-based compensation. Service costs increased from $nil in 2017 to $78,421 in 2018 is a result of services rendered for our client in our new business or operations.
Consulting fees of $342,361 in the third quarter of 2018 relate in part to $105,000 paid to Business Instincts Group Inc., $67,500 to our directors, $48,000 paid to our president, Bruce Elliott, for management services, $41,108 paid to members of our advisory board, $30,000 paid to our chief financial officer, Michael Blum, for management services, $30,000 paid for accounting services, $16,678 in stock-based compensation, and $4,075 paid for development services.

To help fund our operating activities until our private placement closed, we received a $100,000 loan from Michael Blum, the chief financial officer of our company, and a $100,000 loan from Greg Burnett, a member of our advisory board. These loans were repaid in June 2018 after the closing of the private placement for net proceeds of $5,232,989.
Cash Requirements
We expect that we will require $5.515 million, including our current working capital, to fund our operating expenditures for the next twelve months. Projected working capital requirements for the next twelve months are as follows:
Estimated Working Capital Expenditures During the Next Twelve Months
| Operating expenses | $ | 2,015,000 | ||
| General and administrative expenses | 3,350,000 | |||

We plan to continue to provide the services in connection with the development and launch of the Platform (with a targeted launch prior to March 31, 2019) pursuant to the business services agreement dated December 29, 2017, as amended as of March 15, 2018, July 9, 2018 and October 29, 2018 with Ryde. As at September 30, 2018, we spent approximately $851,000 and expect to spend additional $200,000 to $300,000 in connection with the development and launch of the Platform and post-launch support.
In addition, we plan to continue to provide the services to develop a blockchain based payment processing application allowing the purchase and sale of cryptocurrencies (with a targeted launch prior to January 31, 2019) pursuant a master services agreement dated October 19, 2018 with BitRail. As at September 30, 2018, we spent approximately $256,000 and expect to spend additional $100,000 to $200,000 in connection with the development and launch of the blockchain based payment processing application and post-launch support.
For the next 12 months, we plan to enter into one or two additional business services agreements with other clients on terms similar to agreements entered with Ryde or BitRail. We intend to spend between $500,000 and $1,000,000 on various expenses to assist client companies to develop and integrate blockchain and cryptocurrency technologies into their business operations.
| 22 |
Our estimated operating expenses for the next 12 months are $2,015,000 and are comprised of blockchain platform launch related expenses such as project management and consulting, legal fees, support agents and monitoring expenses, and blockchain and software expenses, all of which are included in the amounts between $500,000 and $1,000,000 we intend to spend on various expenses to assist client companies to develop and integrate blockchain and cryptocurrency technologies into their business operations.
Our estimated general and administrative expenses for the next 12 months are $3,350,000 and are comprised of: $2,250,000 for consulting fees, of which approximately $1,260,000 is allocated to Business Instincts Group Inc., $192,000 is allocated to our president, Bruce Elliott, $120,000 is allocated to our chief financial officer, Michael Blum, $120,000 is allocated to our lead director, James P. Geiskopf, $120,000 is allocated for accounting services, $60,000 is allocated for financial services, $200,000 is allocated to our board of directors and our advisory board, $110,000 is allocated to our marketing and development consultants, and $68,000 is allocated to our public relations and marketing consultants; $250,000 for legal and professional fees (including auditing fees); $180,000 for marketing and advertising expenses; $102,000 for trade shows; $250,000 for travel expenses; $198,000 for office rent and $120,000 for miscellaneous and office expenses.
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 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 $3,678,028 as at September 30, 2018 (December 31, 2017: $693,008). 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 years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, our independent registered public accounting firm included an explanatory paragraph regarding substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our 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.
