REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Graph Blockchain Inc.
Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of Graph Blockchain Inc. (the Company) as of April 30, 2019 and 2018, and the related consolidated statements of loss, comprehensive loss, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for year ended April 30, 2019 and period from the date of incorporation (November 22, 2017) to April 30, 2018, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the consolidated financial statements).
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of April 30, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its consolidated operations and its consolidated cash flows for the year ended April 30, 2019 and period from the date of incorporation (November 22, 2017) to April 30, 2018, in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.
Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in the Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered net losses from operations and has accumulated deficit that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The Company’s solution provides for a unique and more streamlined way of filtering through blockchain based data, providing users with querying capabilities, meta data management, and advanced analytics.
The Company is a publicly traded corporation, incorporated in the province of British Columbia, and its head office is located at 2161 Yonge St., Suite 210, Toronto, Ontario, M4S 3A6 Canada. The Company’s common shares are listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange under the trading symbol “GBLC”. The Company was incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia on October 6, 1982. On November 6, 2018, the Company completed its acquisition of Graph Blockchain Limited (“Graph”) through a reverse takeover, and changed the Company’s name to Graph Blockchain Inc. Refer to note 4 for more information.
2 | Significant accounting policies |
Basis of presentation and statement of compliance
These consolidated financial statements for the Company as and for the year ended April 30, 2019 (“consolidated financial statements”) have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).
These consolidated financial statements were approved and authorized for issuance by the Company’s Board of Directors on August 28, 2019. These consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars which is also the Company’s functional currency. The Company has one wholly-owned entity (unincorporated), the South Korean branch of Graph Blockchain Inc. with a Korean Won functional currency. The accounting policies have been applied consistently in these consolidated financial statements, unless otherwise indicated.
Foreign currency transactions are translated into Canadian dollars at exchange rates in effect on the date of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the statement of financial position date are translated to Canadian dollars at the foreign exchange rate applicable as at that date. Realized and unrealized exchange gains and losses are recognized through profit or loss.
The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated in Canadian dollars atyear-end exchange rates. Income and expenses, and cash flows of foreign operations are translated into Canadian dollars using average exchange rates. Exchange differences resulting from translating foreign operations are recognised in other comprehensive loss and accumulated in equity.
Certain comparatives have been reclassified to conform with current year presentation.
Going concern
These consolidated financial statements were prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost basis of accounting. As at April 30, 2019, the Company has a deficit of $9,742,313 (April 30, 2018 - $2,124,565). For the year

Notes to Consolidated Financial statements
For the year ended April 30, 2019 and period from November 22, 2017 to April 30, 2018
(Expressed in Canadian dollars)
ended April 30, 2019, the Company recognized a net loss of $7,617,748 (November 22, 2017 to April 30, 2018 - $2,124,565) and had net cash outflows from operating activities of $3,311,591 (November 22, 2017 to April 30, 2018 - $488,483). At April 30, 2019 the Company has insufficient cash to fund its planned operations for the next twelve months. These conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern
The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the ability of the Company to generate sufficient revenues and positive cash flows from its operating activities and/or obtain sufficient additional financing to settle its obligations and fund its planned operations. Accordingly, the Company may need further financing in the form of debt, equity or a combination thereof for the next twelve months. There can be no assurance that additional funding will be available to the Company, or, if available, that this funding will be on acceptable terms. If adequate funds are not available, the Company may be required to delay or reduce the scope of any or all of its projects.
These financial statements do not reflect adjustments that would be necessary if the going concern assumption were not appropriate. Should the Company be unable to generate sufficient cash flow from operations or financing activities, the carrying value of the Company’s asset could be subject to material adjustments and other adjustments may be necessary to these financial statements should such events impair the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Basis of consolidation
Theses consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Graph, as defined in note 4 below. Any references to Company include references to such subsidiary. Intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated upon consolidation and preparation of these consolidated financial statements, and any unrealized income and expenses arising from intercompany transactions, are eliminated.
Operating segments
Management has determined that the Company operates in two reportable operating segments based on geographical region. The Company provides blockchain services with a head office located in Canada (“Graph Canada”) and a branch located in South Korea (“Graph Korea”).
Revenue from contracts with customers
Nature of goods and services

Products and service | Nature, timing of satisfaction of performance obligations and significant payment terms | |
Development plan and budget for the blockchain platform | The Company recognizes revenue at the point in time when a customer takes control of and accepts the project development plan and budget, at which point the performance obligation is considered met
|
b) | Graph Korea |
During the year ended April 30, 2019, the Graph Korea segment of the Company generated revenue from delivering blockchain solution built for customers based in the Republic of Korea, which is the Company’s single performance obligation under the revenue contracts.
Products and service | Nature, timing of satisfaction of performance obligations and significant payment terms | |
Prototype blockchain solution services | Revenue is recognized at the point in time when the customer takes control of and accepts the prototype, at which point the performance obligation is considered met.
|
Billings or payments received from customers in advance of revenue recognition are recorded as contract liabilities on the consolidated statements of financial position, and costs incurred for developing the prototype are recorded as inventory on the consolidated statements of financial position.
Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services. The Company follows the below criteria when assessing whether control has been obtained by a customer:
(a) | The Company has a present right to payment; and |
(b) | The customer obtains legal title; and |
(c) | The Company has transferred physical possession of the goods or services; and |
(d) | The customer has the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods or services; and |
(e) | The customer has accepted the goods or services. |
Financial instruments
a) | Classification of financial assets |
Financial assets are classified and measured based on the three categories: amortized cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”) and fair value through profit and loss (“FVTPL”). Financial liabilities are classified and measured in two categories: amortized cost or FVTPL. Under IFRS 9, derivatives embedded in contracts where the host is a financial asset in the scope of the standard are not separated, but the hybrid financial instrument as a whole is assessed for classification.

Notes to Consolidated Financial statements
For the year ended April 30, 2019 and period from November 22, 2017 to April 30, 2018
(Expressed in Canadian dollars)
The following table summarizes the classification of the financial instruments under IFRS 9:
Classification | ||
Cash and cash equivalents | FVTPL | |
Trade and other receivables | Amortized cost | |
Loan receivables | Amortized cost | |
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities | Amortized cost | |
Loan payables | Amortized cost |
On initial recognition, a financial asset is classified as measured at amortized costs, FVTPL, or FVTOCI. Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition unless the Company changes its business model for managing assets, in which case all affected financial assets are reclassified on the first day of the first reporting period following the change in the business model. The Company recognizes trade receivables initially when they are originated. All other financial assets are initially recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. All trade receivables without a significant financing component as defined in IFRS 15 are initially measured at their transaction prices as defined in IFRS 15. All other financial assets are initially measured at fair value plus, for items not classified as FVTPL, transaction costs that are directly attributable to its acquisition.
Subsequent to initial recognition, FVTPL financial assets are measured at fair value with change in fair value recognized in profit and loss. Financial assets as amortized costs are measured at cost using the effective interest method. The amortized cost is reduced by impairment losses. Interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognized in profit of loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognized in profit or loss.
All financial liabilities are initially recorded at fair value and designated upon inception as FVTPL or other financial liabilities. The Company recognizes debt securities it issues when they originate. All other financial liabilities are initially recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial liabilities classified as other financial liabilities are initially recognized at fair value less directly attributable transaction costs. After initial recognition, other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments through the expected life of the financial liability or, where appropriate, a shorter period.
Financial liabilities classified as FVTPL include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as FVTPL. Transaction costs on financial liabilities classified as FVTPL are expensed as incurred. Fair value changes on financial liabilities classified as FVTPL are recognized through the statement of comprehensive income/(loss). At the end of each reporting period subsequent to initial recognition, financial liabilities at FVTPL are measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized directly in the statement of comprehensive loss in the period in which they arise.

b) | Impairment of financial assets |
For financial assets carried at amortized cost, the Company recognizes loss allowances for expected credit losses (“ECLs”). ECLs are a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses. The Company applies a three-stage approach to measure ECLs. The Company measures loss allowance at an amount equal to twelve months of expected losses if the credit risk at the reporting date has not increased significantly since initial recognition (Stage 1) and at an amount equal to lifetime expected losses if there is a significant increase in credit risk since origination (Stage 2) and at an amount equal to lifetime expected losses which are credit impaired (Stage 3).
The Company considers a significant increase in credit risk to have occurred if contractual payments are more than 30 days past due and considers the financial assets carried at amortized cost to be in default if they are 90 days past due. A significant increase in credit risk or default may have also occurred if there are other qualitative factors (including forward looking information) to consider; such as borrower specific information (i.e. change in credit assessment). Such factors include consideration relating to whether the counterparty is experiencing significant financial difficulty, there is a breach of contract, concessions are granted to the counterparty that would not normally be granted, or it is probable the counterparty will enter into bankruptcy or a financial reorganization.
Significant increases in credit risk are assessed based on changes in probability of default of a financial asset subsequent to initial recognition. The Company uses past due information to determine whether credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition. Financial assets are considered to have experienced a significant increase in credit risk and are reclassified to Stage 2 if a contractual payment is more than 30 days past due as at the reporting date.
The Company defines default as the earlier of when a contractual payment is more than 90 days past due or when a loan becomes insolvent as a result of customer bankruptcy. Financial assets that have experienced a default event are considered to be credit impaired and are reclassified as Stage 3 loans.
The Company writes off an impaired financial asset, either partially or in full, when there is no realistic prospect of recovery. Where financial assets are secured,write-off is after the expected receipts from the realization of collateral.

The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates and judgements that affect the applications of accounting policies regarding certain types of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements. Estimates and judgments are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the year in which the estimates are revised and in any future years affected. These estimates and assumptions are based on management’s historical experience, best knowledge of current events and conditions and activities that the Company may undertake in the future. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates.
Judgements
Areas requiring judgements include timing of recognizing revenue, impairment of financial assets and valuation of equity instruments issued under share-based payment arrangements.

(Expressed in Canadian dollars)
a) Revenue recognition
The Company uses judgement to assess whether contracts contain multiple products and services sold and whether these should be considered distinct and accounted as separate performance obligations or together. Estimates are required when allocating revenue where multiple performance obligations exist in a contract. Judgment is required as to determining when control of the product has been transferred to the customer.
b) Impairment of financial assets
The Company uses judgement to estimate the expected credit losses which is determined based on stage assessment. The ECL model requires judgement including but not limited to consideration of how changes in economic factors affect the ECLs.
c) Share-based payment
The Company measures the cost of equity-settled transactions by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. Estimating fair value for share-based payment transactions requires determining the most appropriate valuation model, which is dependent on the terms and conditions of the grant. This estimate also requires determining the most appropriate inputs to the valuation model including the expected life of the share option, volatility and dividend yield and making assumptions about them.
Estimates
The effect of a change in an accounting estimate is recognized prospectively by including it in comprehensive loss in the year of the change, if the change affects that year only, or in the year of the change and future years, if the changes affects both.
Provisions
A provision is a liability of uncertain timing or amount. Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount can be reliably estimated.
The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. When a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows.
Property and equipment
Property and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Assets under capital leases are recorded at the present value of the minimum future lease payments at the time of inception. Gains and losses arising on the disposal of individual assets are recognized in income in the period of disposal. Costs, including financing charges and certain design, construction and installation costs, related to assets that are under construction and are in the process of being readied for their intended use are recorded as construction in progress and are not subject to amortization.
Depreciation, which is recorded from the date on which each asset is available for service, is generally provided for on a

(Expressed in Canadian dollars)
straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the property and equipment as follows:
Computer equipment | 2 years | |||
Office equipment and furniture | 5 years |
Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Renewals and betterments, which materially prolong the useful lives of the assets, are capitalized. The cost and related accumulated depreciation of property retired or sold are removed from the accounts, and gains or losses are recognized in the statement of loss and comprehensive loss.
Impairment ofnon-financial assets
At each reporting date, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of itsnon-financial assets (other than deferred tax assets) to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated using discounted cash flows.
For impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or CGUs. The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. Value in use is based on estimated future cash flows, discounted to their present value using apre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or CGU.
An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognized in profit or loss. They are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the CGU, and then to reduce the carrying amounts of the other assets in the CGU on a pro rata basis.
An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. For any other assets, an impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, if no impairment loss had been recognized.
Leases
Leases entered into by the Company in which substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership are transferred to the Company are recorded as obligations under capital leases and under the corresponding category of property and equipment. Obligations under capital leases reflect the present value of future lease payments, discounted at an appropriate interest rate, and are reduced by rental payments, net of imputed interest. Property and equipment under capital leases are depreciated based on the effective useful lives of the assets. All other leases are classified as operating leases and leasing costs, including any rent holidays, leaseholds incentives, and rent concessions, are amortized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Income taxes
Income tax expense (benefit) comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax and deferred tax are recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that they relate to a business combination, or items recognized directly in equity or in other comprehensive income. Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the period, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. Current tax payable also includes any tax liability arising from the declaration of dividends. Deferred tax

Notes to Consolidated Financial statements
For the year ended April 30, 2019 and period from November 22, 2017 to April 30, 2018
(Expressed in Canadian dollars)
is recognized in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes.
Deferred tax is not recognized for temporary differences on the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss, temporary differences related to investments in subsidiaries and associates to the extent that it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future, and taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill.
Share based compensation
The grant-date fair value of equity-settled share-based payment arrangements granted to employees is generally recognized as share based compensation in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss, with a corresponding increase in equity, over the vesting period of the awards. The amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the number of awards for which the related service andnon-market performance conditions are expected to be met, such that the amount ultimately recognized is based on the number of awards that meet the related service andnon-market performance conditions at the vesting date. Share-based payment arrangements granted tonon-employees are valued at the fair value of the goods or service received, measured at the date on which the goods are received, or the services are rendered. If the entity cannot estimate reliably the fair value of the goods or services received, the entity shall measure the value and the corresponding increase in equity, indirectly, by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments granted, which the Company does using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.
The increase in equity recognized in connection with a share based payment transaction is presented in the “Reserves” line item on the consolidated statements of financial position, as separate component in equity. For share-based payment awards with market conditions, the grant-date fair value of the share-based payment is measured to reflect such conditions and there is notrue-up for differences between expected and actual outcomes.
3 | Future accounting pronouncements |
The IASB has issued the following applicable standard:
In January 2016, the IASB issued IFRS 16, Leases. The mandatory effective date of IFRS 16 is for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019. This standard introduces a single lessee accounting model and requires a lessee to recognize assets and liabilities for all leases with a term of more than 12 months, unless the underlying asset is of a low value. A lessee is required to recognize aright-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset and a lease liability representing its obligation to make lease payments. The Company is currently in the process of calculating the impact of IFRS 16 on its consolidated financial statements and expects that on adoption of the standard, there will be an increase to assets and liabilities, as the Company will be required to record aright-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability on its consolidated statements of financial position. In addition, the Company expects a decrease to its “Office and general” expense, an increase to finance costs (due to accretion of the lease liability) and an increase to depreciation and amortization (due to amortization of theright-of-use asset).
4 | Reverse take-over |
On November 6, 2018, the Company completed its acquisition of Graph Blockchain Limited (“Graph”) by way of a three-cornered amalgamation among the Company, Graph, and 2659468 Ontario Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, whereby 2659468 Ontario Inc and Graph amalgamated to form a newly amalgamated company (“Amalco”).

a result of the Amalgamation, the holders of common shares of Graph exchanged such common shares for RegTech common shares on a one for one basis, and Amalco became a wholly-owned subsidiary of RegTech.
The shareholders of Graph owned 96% of the common shares of the Company and as a result, the transaction is considered a reverse acquisition of RegTech by Graph. For accounting purposes, Graph is considered the acquirer, and RegTech, the acquiree. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements are a continuation of the financial statements of Graph which has a financial year end of April 30 and a date of incorporation of November 22, 2017. The results of operations of RegTech are included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company from the date of the reverse acquisition, November 6, 2018.
The following summarizes the reverse takeover of RegTech by Graph and the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as at November 6, 2018:

A reverse takeover transaction involving anon-public operating entity and anon-operating company is considered to be in substance a share based payment transaction and is not a business combination. Any difference in the value of the shares deemed to have been issued by the accounting acquirer and the fair value of the acquiree’s net assets (liabilities) received (assumed), have been included in the listing expense on the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.
The Company recorded in “Other reverse take-over fees” in the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss, $1,185,692 of professional, regulatory and other fees with respect to the reverse takeover, including $884,956 management consulting fees charged by a shareholder company of the Company as disclosed in Note 10(d) of these consolidated financial statements.
In connection with the above transaction, Graph completed anon-brokered private placement on November 6, 2018 of 3,354,867 units to raise gross proceeds of $1,006,460 that closed concurrently with the above transaction. Each unit was at a price of $0.30 and consisted of one common share and one warrant of Graph. Each warrant shall be exercisable into one common share of Graph at a price of $0.40 for a period of 18 months from the date of issuance. Certain dealers and arms-length finders were paid 8% of the gross proceeds. Share issuance costs of $22,232 comprised of $13,000 in respect

As at April 30, 2019, the impairment allowance relating to trade and other receivables is $1,847 (April 30, 2018 - $nil).

The loan is a secured loan issued on April 4, 2019 with a maturity date of July 4, 2019, bearing an interest rate of 10% per annum. Subsequent to April 30, 2019 and as at the date of these consolidated financial statements, the loan is in default and management has assessed there is deterioration of the credit risk on the loan receivable. The expected credit loss related to this loan is computed taking into consideration the probability of default occurring over the next twelve months (“PD”), exposure at default (“EAD”), and loss given default (“LGD”). Details of these inputs are as follows:
(i) | PD is an estimate of the likelihood of default over a given time horizon and is expressed as a percentage. |
(ii) | EAD is the expected exposure in the event of default at a future default date and is expressed as an amount; and |
(iii) | LGD is an estimate of the loss arising in case where a default occurs at a given time and is based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due and those that the Company would expect to receive, including from the realization of any collateral. It is expressed as a percentage of the EAD. |

Fair values of financial instruments
IFRS 7 - Financial Instruments: Disclosures requires disclosure of a three-level hierarchy (“FV hierarchy”) that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making fair value measurements and disclosures. Fair values of assets and liabilities included in Level 1 are determined by reference to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. Assets and liabilities in Level 2 include those whose valuations are determined using inputs other than quoted prices for which all significant outputs are observable, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 valuations are those based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.
