CurrencyWorks Inc.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
As of March 31, 2020 and for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019
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.
On November 28, 2018, we incorporated a new Delaware subsidiary, Cathio, Inc, to provide blockchain technology opportunities to the Catholic community.
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 $9,210,074 as of March 31, 2020 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.
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, 2019 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 26, 2019.
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, 2020, common shares from the conversion of debt (shares) (Note 3) and outstanding of stock options (shares) (Note 8) have been included as their effect is dilutive. At March 31, 2019, common shares from the conversion of debt (12,019,929 shares) and stock options (2,980,554 shares) have been excluded as their effects are anti-dilutive.
| 10 |
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)
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.
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.
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.
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 fair values. The fair value of the options is calculated based off the Black Scholes valuation model.
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 is recalculated at the end of every reporting period until the goal had been reached, when the expense has been wholly recognized.

(“Ryde”) paid the Company $275,000 on February 7, 2020, which reduced the outstanding principal balance of the loan by $150,000 and outstanding interest of $125,000. As this was written down in 2019, this amount has been included in other income. 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 December 31, 2020, as certified by an independent auditor appointed by Borrower.

10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the coronavirus outbreak a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern” and on March 10, 2020, declared it to be a pandemic. Actions taken around the world to help mitigate the spread of the coronavirus include restrictions on travel, and quarantines in certain areas, and forced closures for certain types of public places and businesses. The coronavirus and actions taken to mitigate it have had and are expected to continue to have an adverse impact on the economies and financial markets of many countries, including the geographical area in which the Company operates. It is unknown how long these conditions will last and what the complete financial effect will be to the company. Our sBetOne project is currently on hold due to professional sports being shut down. We are vulnerable to the risk of a near-term severe impact if the risks related to Covid-19 negatively affect our ability to raise funds.

Results of Operations
Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2019
Revenue
We had no revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.
Operating Expenses
We incurred general and administrative expenses of $171,428 and $1,000,347 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, representing a decrease of $828,919 between the two periods. These expenses consisted primarily of consulting fees, pre-licensing fees, professional fees, and other general and administrative costs. The decrease in consulting fees between the two periods from $419,863 in 2019 to $46,160 in 2020 was due to the decrease in compensation for our president, chief operating officer, and Board of Directors. Pre-licensing fees decreased from $250,000 in 2019 to $0 in 2020. Once the definitive licensing agreement is signed with the license holder the Company will be able to adjust this pre-licensing fees from future minimum royalty fees that would be payable to the license holder. Professional fees decreased from $68,548 in 2019 to $9,379 in 2020 due to lower legal services as 2019 saw the Company spending on the evaluation of potential business opportunities and regulatory compliance. The decrease in other general and administrative costs decreased from $366,288 in 2019 to $116,591 in 2020 due to decreased travel costs, advertising and marketing costs, compliance fees, and stock-based compensation. Service costs decreased from $35,122 in 2019 to $0 in 2020 as many of the costs for the client being recognized are now being charged to them as per the amended agreement.
Consulting fees of $45,060 in the first quarter of 2020 relate in part to $15,000 paid to our Board of Directors, $30,000 paid for accounting services and other smaller costs.
The pre-licensing fees stem from an agreement between the Company and a potential client.
Other Income (Expense)
Other income includes $275,000 of recovered receivables received in Q1 from Ryde Holdings. Other expenses include interest expense on convertible notes payable of $37,919 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to $14,534 for the same period last year.

Current Assets
Current assets were $49,001 as at March 31, 2020 and $42,886 at December 31, 2019. The increase in current assets as at March 31, 2020 was due to loans from Ryde Holdings received partially offset by the increase in cash spent on operating expenses.

Investing Activities
There was no investing activities for the three-month period ended March 31, 2020 and for the three-month period ended March 31, 2019.
Financing Activities
Financing activities provided cash of $10,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and $325,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2019. In 2019, sBetOne issued $325,000 of convertible debentures.
Cash Requirements
Our estimated general and administrative expenses, operating expenses, and service costs for the next 12 months are $780,000 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 $9,210,074 as at March 31, 2020 (December 31, 2019: $9,310,776). 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, 2019 and 2018, 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.
