 | INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of THE INX DIGITAL COMPANY, INC. (FORMERLY: VALDY INVESTMENT LTD.) | |
Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of The INX Digital Company Inc. and its subsidiaries (“the Group”), which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the consolidated statements of profit or loss and comprehensive loss, consolidated statements of changes in equity and consolidated statements of cash flows for each of the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for each of the years then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs).
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated financial statements in Canada, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key audit matter
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. We have determined the matter described below to be the key audit matter to be communicated in our report. This matter was addressed in the context of the audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on this matter. For the matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in that context.
We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report, including in relation to this matter. Accordingly, our audit included the performance of procedures designed to respond to our assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements. The results of our audit procedures, including the procedures performed to address the matters below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Other Information
Key audit matter | How our audit addressed the key audit matters |
Existence of Digital assets As described in Notes 8 and 2m to the consolidated financial statements, the Company holds $5.2 million in digital assets (including $2.6 million held as customer funds) which are identifiable non-monetary assets without physical substance. We identified the existence and ownership (rights and obligations) of the Company’s holdings in digital assets hold as a key audit matter. We considered this a key audit matter due to the significant audit efforts involved in testing the existence and ownership of the digital assets held by the Company. | ● We assigned to the audit team professionals with specialized skills in blockchain and digital assets ; ● We obtained confirmation as to digital assets held by third parties on behalf of the Company; ● We utilized our proprietary audit tool to independently obtain evidence from public blockchains to test the existence of digital asset balances; ● We evaluated the reliability of audit evidence obtained from public blockchains; ● With the assistance of IT specialists, we observed the performance of the transfer of a sample of digital assets from the Company’s wallet held by the custodian to a different wallet to test the rights and ownership of the digital asset; ● We obtained evidence to evaluate digital asset balances for appropriate segregation between Company digital assets and customer digital assets; |
Other Information
Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises:
| ● | Management’s Discussion and Analysis. |
| | |
| ● | The information, other than the consolidated financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon, in the Annual Report. |
Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information, and in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. We obtained Management’s Discussion and Analysis and the Annual Report prior to the date of this auditor’s report. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
THE INX DIGITAL COMPANY, INC.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRSs, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
| ● | Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. |
| | |
| ● | Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control. |
| | |
| ● | Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management. |
Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
| ● | Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. |
| | |
| ● | Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion. |
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report is Mr. Eli Barda.

NOTE 1: NATURE OF OPERATIONS
The INX Digital Company, Inc. (formerly - Valdy Investments Ltd.) (the “Company” or “TINXD”), registered at 550 Burrard Street, Suite 2900, Vancouver, BC V6C 0A3, Canada, was incorporated under the provincial Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) on August 22, 2018.
The Company completed its initial public offering (“IPO”) during fiscal year 2019 and was classified as a Capital Pool Company (“CPC”), as defined in Policy 2.4 of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV Exchange”), until November 16, 2021.
The consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022, were authorized for issuance in accordance with a resolution of the board of directors on March 30, 2023.
Purchase Transaction
The principal business of the Company as a CPC was to identify and evaluate assets or businesses with a view to potentially acquire them or an interest therein (“Qualifying Transaction”). The purpose of such an acquisition was to satisfy the related conditions of a Qualifying Transaction under the TSXV Exchange rules.
On March 31, 2021, the Company entered into a definitive securities exchange agreement (the “Original Securities Exchange Agreement”) with INX Limited (“INX”), a company incorporated under the laws of Gibraltar and the securityholders of INX (the “INX Securityholders”), whereby the Company proposed to acquire all issued and outstanding securities of INX (the “Transaction”). The Original Securities Exchange Agreement was amended by the Company, INX, PI Financial Corp. and Eight Capital entering into an Amendment to the Securities Exchange Agreement dated as of July 23, 2021 (the “Amendment”), and together with the Original Securities Exchange Agreement, (the “Amended Agreement”), among other things, extended the deadline for completion of the Transaction to January 24, 2022, subject to possible earlier termination. Subsequently, the Company, INX, the INX Securityholders, PI Financial Corp. and Eight Capital entered into an Amended and Restated Securities Exchange Agreement dated as of November 3, 2021 (the “Amended and Restated Securities Exchange Agreement”) which replaced and superseded the Amended Agreement.
Following entry into the Original Securities Exchange Agreement, the Company engaged with and made submissions to the TSXV Exchange with respect to the previously disclosed proposed Qualifying Transaction with INX. Following discussions with the TSXV Exchange, the Company was not able to complete the proposed Qualifying Transaction on the TSXV Exchange. Accordingly, the Company entered into the Amended and Restated Securities Exchange Agreement and applied to voluntarily delist its common shares from the TSXV Exchange.
On December 31, 2021, the Company received conditional approval from the Neo Exchange Inc. (“Neo Exchange”) to list the combined entity (the “Resulting Issuer”) shares. On January 10, 2022, the Company completed the Transaction with INX, whereby INX became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The Transaction resulted in a reverse takeover transaction whereby current shareholders of INX (pre-transaction) became majority shareholders of the Company. The Resulting Issuer continues the business of INX. Also, on January 24, 2022, the Company’s shares started to trade on the NEO Exchange.
Also, on July 28, 2022, the Company received approval from The OTCQB Venture Market operated by OTC Markets Group Inc. to commence trading of its common shares under the symbol INXDF, with INX’s shares becoming eligible to be cleared and settled by the Depository Trust Company.
Nature of Operations
The Company, through its subsidiaries, is engaged in the operation and ongoing development of integrated and regulated solutions for trading of blockchain assets on a digital asset and security token trading platform, and providing other services and products related to the trading of blockchain assets. The INX.One trading platform is designed to help customers. automate and coordinate front-office trading functions, middle-office risk management and reporting functions, as well as operations and accounting functions. The Company charges fees at a transaction level. The transaction fee is calculated based on volume and the value of the transaction. The transaction fee is collected from customers at the time the transaction is executed.

NOTE 1: NATURE OF OPERATIONS (Cont.)
The Company operates in the following reportable segments:
| ● | Digital assets segment - offers integrated, regulated solution for trading blockchain assets that includes a digital asset and security token trading platform, and other services and products related to the trading of digital assets. |
| ● | Brokerage segment - facilitates financial transactions between financial institutions and offers a full range of brokerage services to banks worldwide. |
INX Token
As part of the Company’s blockchain ecosystem, INX created the INX Token (the “INX Token”), and on August 20, 2020, the U.S Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) acknowledged the effectiveness of the F-1 Registration Statement that was filed by INX with the SEC and declared the effectiveness of the initial public offering of INX Tokens (“The INX Token Offering” or “the Offering”) pursuant to which INX offered up to 130 million INX Tokens at a price of $0.90 per INX Token.
The INX Token was offered to the public on August 24, 2020, and closed on April 22, 2021, when the Offering was completed.
In July 2021, INX listed the INX Token for trading on the trading platform for “digital securities,” i.e., digital assets that constitute securities under the applicable law, operated through INX’s subsidiary, INX Securities, LLC (formerly the “INX Securities Trading Platform”, rebranded in 2022 as INX.One).
INX has not allocated for issuance and does not intend to issue 35 million of the 200 million INX Tokens that have been created. In addition, INX reserves an additional 20% of INX Tokens received as payment of transaction fees, as long as the total amount of INX Tokens reserved does not exceed 35 million plus 50% of the number of INX Tokens sold by INX to the public pursuant to the Offering and subsequent offerings of INX Tokens (excluding re-issuances of reacquired INX Tokens), up to a maximum of 100 million INX Tokens. INX does not intend to issue these reserved INX Tokens for general fundraising purposes; these INX Tokens may be issued to fund acquisitions, address regulatory requirements or fund the operations of INX if the Board of Directors of INX determines that INX has net cash balances sufficient to fund less than nine months of its operations. INX intends to restrict issuances of the reserved INX Tokens to these or similar extraordinary situations to limit dilution to INX Token holders. As of December 31, 2022, the Company held approximately 67.5 million INX Tokens in reserve.
Following an amendment to the INX Token rights which was approved by the Board of Directors of the Company on May 17, 2019 (the “Token Rights Amendment”), the holders of INX Tokens (other than INX) are entitled to receive a pro rata distribution of 40% of INX’s net cash flow from operating activities, excluding any cash proceeds from an initial sale by INX of an INX Token (the “Adjusted Operating Cash Flow”). The distribution is based on INX’s cumulative Adjusted Operating Cash Flow, net of cash flows which have already formed a basis for a prior distribution, calculated as of December 31 of each year. The distribution is to be paid to parties (other than INX) holding INX Tokens as of March 31 of the following year on April 30th, commencing with the first distribution to be paid, if at all. As of December 31, 2022, the INX cumulative adjusted operating cash flow activity was negative, and therefore no distribution is expected on April 30, 2023.
Holders of INX Tokens are also entitled to, at a minimum, a 10% discount on the payment of transaction fees on the INX.One Trading Platform.

Assessment of going concern
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates that the Company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $39,826. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company incurred an operating loss of $16,342 and negative cash flow from operating activities of $22,863. Based on the Company’s existing cash funds and the working capital in the amount of $26,163 as of December 31, 2022 (excluding assets held in the Reserve Fund and the INX Token liability), and management’s projections of the operating results for the next twelve months, management concluded that the Company has sufficient funds to continue its operations and meet its obligations for a period of at least twelve months from the date the financial statements were authorized for issuance.
NOTE 2: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following accounting policies have been applied consistently in these consolidated financial statements for the periods presented, unless otherwise stated.
| a. | Basis of presentation of the financial statements: |
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and interpretations of the International Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”).
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except certain financial instruments which are measured at fair value and digital assets characterized as inventory which are measured at fair value less with changes in fair value recognized in cost to sell through profit or loss.
| b. | Consolidated financial statements: |
The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company and companies that are controlled by the Company (subsidiaries). Control is achieved when the Company is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Potential voting rights are considered when assessing whether an entity has control. The consolidation of the financial statements commences on the date on which control is obtained and ends when such control ceases.
The financial statements of the Company and of the subsidiaries are prepared as of the same dates and periods. The consolidated financial statements are prepared using uniform accounting policies by all companies in the Group. Significant intra group balances and transactions and gains or losses resulting from intragroup transactions are eliminated in full in the consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)
| c. | Functional and presentation currencies: |
| 1. | Functional currency and presentation currency: |
The consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars.
The Company determines the functional currency of each entity through an analysis of the consideration factors identified in International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 21.
Assets, including fair value adjustments upon acquisition, and liabilities of an investee which is a foreign operation, are translated at the closing rate at each reporting date. Profit or loss items are translated at average exchange rates for all periods presented. The resulting translation differences are recognized in other comprehensive income (loss).
Upon the full or partial disposal of a foreign operation resulting in loss of control in the foreign operation, the cumulative gain (loss) from the foreign operation which had been recognized in
other comprehensive income is carried to profit or loss. Upon the partial disposal of a foreign operation which results in the retention of control in the subsidiary, the relative portion of the amount recognized in other comprehensive income is reattributed to non-controlling interests.
| 2. | Transactions, assets and liabilities in foreign currency: |
Transactions denominated in foreign currency are recorded upon initial recognition at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. After initial recognition, monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are translated at each reporting date into the functional currency at the exchange rate at that date. Exchange rate differences, other than those capitalized to qualifying assets or accounted for as hedging transactions in equity, are recognized in profit or loss. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency and measured at cost are translated at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency and measured at fair value are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rate prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined.
| 3. | Index-linked monetary items: |
Monetary assets and liabilities linked to the changes in the Israeli Consumer Price Index (“Israeli CPI”) are adjusted at the relevant index at each reporting date according to the terms of the agreement.
| d. | Use of estimates and judgements: |
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
Key assumptions made in the consolidated financial statements concerning uncertainties at the reporting date that may result in a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the INX Token liability and INX Token warrant liability within the next financial year are discussed in Note 12 and Note 13.

NOTE 2: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)
Many aspects of the digital currency and blockchain industry have not yet been addressed by current IFRS guidance. The Company is required to make significant assumptions and judgments as to its accounting policies and the application thereof, which is disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. If specific guidance is enacted by the IASB in the future, the impact may result in changes to the Company’s profit or loss and financial position as currently presented.
Determining the fair value of share-based payment transactions
The fair value of share-based payment transactions is determined upon initial recognition by an acceptable option pricing model. The inputs to the model include share price, exercise price and assumptions regarding expected volatility, expected life of share option and expected dividend yield.
Discount rate for a lease liability
When the Company is unable to readily determine the discount rate implicit in a lease in order to measure the lease liability, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate. That rate represents the rate of interest that the Company would have to pay to borrow over a similar term and with similar security, the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar economic environment. When there are no financing transactions that can serve as a basis, the Company determines the incremental borrowing rate based on its credit risk, the lease term and other economic variables deriving from the lease contract’s conditions and restrictions. In certain situations, the Company is assisted by an external valuation expert in determining the incremental borrowing rate.
Impairment of goodwill
The Group reviews goodwill for impairment at least once a year. This requires management to make an estimate of the projected future cash flows from the continuing use of the cash-generating unit (or a group of cash-generating units) to which the goodwill is allocated and also to choose a suitable discount rate for those cash flows.
Deferred tax assets
Deferred tax assets are recognized for unused carryforward tax losses and deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the losses can be utilized. Significant management judgment is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognized, based upon the timing and level of future taxable profits, its source and the tax planning strategy.
Determining the fair value of an unquoted financial liability
The fair value of unquoted warrant liability in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy is determined using the Black and Scholes option pricing model. The inputs to the model include share price, exercise price and assumptions regarding expected volatility, expected life of and expected dividend yield.

| e. | Cash and cash equivalents: |
Cash and cash equivalents may include demand deposits and short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to cash with an original maturity of three months or less from the date of investment and are redeemable on demand without penalty.
| 1. | Financial assets, including short-term and long-term investments, and derivative assets are initially recognized at fair value plus directly attributable transaction costs, except for financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss in respect of which transaction costs are recorded in profit or loss. |
The Company classifies and measures debt instruments in the financial statements based on the following criteria:
| - | The Company’s business model for managing financial assets; and |
| - | The contractual cash flow terms of the financial asset. |
| a) | Debt instruments are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income when: |
The Company’s business model is to hold the financial assets in order to both collect their contractual cash flows and to sell the financial assets, and the contractual terms of the financial assets give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
After initial recognition, the instruments in this category are measured at fair value. Gains or losses from fair value adjustments, excluding interest and exchange rate differences, are recognized in other comprehensive income.
| b) | Debt instruments are measured at fair value through profit or loss when: |
A financial asset which is a debt instrument does not meet the criteria for measurement at amortized cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income. After initial recognition, the financial asset is measured at fair value and gains or losses from fair value adjustments are recognized in profit or loss.
As part of its risk management activities, the Company enters into derivatives such as digital currency forwards. A digital currency forward is an exchange traded contract which represents a legal agreement to either buy or sell a referenced digital asset at a predetermined price at some time in the future. Digital assets forwards held by the Company are settled in a stable coin. The derivatives are carried at fair value and any realized and unrealized gains (losses) on derivatives are recognized through profit and loss.
| 2. | Loans and receivables are held to collect contractual cash flows and give rise to cash flows representing solely payments of principal and interest. These are measured subsequent to initial recognition at amortized cost. |
Impairment of financial assets:
At the end of each reporting period, the Company evaluates the loss allowance for financial debt instruments which are not measured at fair value through profit or loss.
The Company has short-term financial assets such as trade receivables in respect of which the Company applies the simplified approach in IFRS 9 and measures the loss allowance in an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses.

NOTE 2: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)
The Company grants its customers interest-free credit for periods of 30-90 days. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, there were no material past-due accounts. Accordingly, the allowance for doubtful accounts is immaterial.
| 3. | Derecognition of financial assets |
A financial asset is derecognized only when:
| a) | The contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset has expired; or |
| b) | The Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards deriving from the contractual rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset or has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset; or |
| c) | The Company has retained its contractual rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset but has assumed a contractual obligation to pay the cash flows in full without material delay to a third party. |
Financial liabilities are initially recognized at fair value. After initial recognition, the accounting treatment of financial liabilities is based on their classification as follows:
| a) | Financial liabilities at amortized cost: |
After initial recognition, loans and other liabilities are measured based on their terms at amortized cost less directly attributable transaction costs using the effective interest method.
| b) | Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss: |
These liabilities include financial liabilities held for trading (including the INX Token warrant liability), contingent consideration liability recognized in a business combination, warrant liability and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss. Changes in the fair value of liabilities held for trading and contingent consideration are recognized in profit or loss in finance expenses. Based on the terms of the INX Token, as described in Note 1, the INX Token is a hybrid financial instrument. The host instrument is a financial liability due to the right of the INX Token holder to use the INX Token to pay transactions fees on the INX.One Trading Platform. The INX Token is considered a puttable instrument which is a financial liability in accordance with IAS 32, Financial Instruments: Presentation.
INX’s obligation to make a pro rata distribution annually to the INX Token holders from INX’s Adjusted Operating Cash Flow is an embedded derivative. The Company views INX’s operating cash flows as a financial variable, and therefore, the embedded derivative requires bifurcation pursuant to IFRS 9. The Company elected, in accordance with IFRS 9, to designate the entire financial liability (including the embedded derivative) at fair value through profit and loss. Accordingly, the INX Token liability and the INX Token warrant liability are remeasured to fair value at the end of each reporting period.
The change in the fair value of the INX Token liability that is attributable to changes in credit risk, excluding those changes in credit risk attributable to the embedded derivative, to the extent there are any, would be presented in other comprehensive income. The remaining amount of the change in the fair value of the INX Token liability would be presented in profit or loss. At December 31, 2022, all change in fair value of the INX Token liability is included in profit or loss.

NOTE 2: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)
When the INX Token is used to pay for services provided by INX, the respective portion of the INX Token liability is derecognized and revenue is recognized. The fair value of INX Tokens issued in consideration for services to be provided to the Company (through its subsidiaries) is recognized as compensation expense when services are provided.
| 5. | Offsetting financial instruments: |
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset, and the net amount is presented in the statement of financial position if there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognized amounts and there is an intention either to settle on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. The right of set-off must be legally enforceable not only during the ordinary course of business of the parties to the contract but also in the event of bankruptcy or insolvency of one of the parties.
| 6. | Compound financial instruments: |
Convertible debt which contains both an equity component and a liability component are separated into two components. This separation is performed by first determining the liability component based on the fair value of an equivalent non-convertible liability. The value of the conversion component is determined to be the residual amount. Directly attributable transaction costs are apportioned between the equity component and the liability component based on the allocation of proceeds to the equity and liability components.
| 7. | Simple Agreement for Future Equity (“SAFE”): |
INX has entered into equity funding agreements (SAFEs) pursuant to which funds received by INX from investors have been automatically converted into the same class of share capital of INX that were issued in a qualifying financing, as defined in the SAFEs. The conversion price for SAFEs issued before June 2020 was equal to the lower of, (i) 25% discount on the base (undiscounted) price per share of the qualifying financing, or (ii) a fixed price, as set forth in the SAFEs. For SAFEs issued in June 2020, the conversion price was equal to the lower of, (i) 25% discount on the base (undiscounted) price per share of the qualifying financing, or (ii) a fixed INX valuation divided by the number of INX’s shares outstanding on a fully-diluted basis (as defined in the SAFEs).
INX is not obligated to complete a qualifying financing or to approve the issuance of shares or dilutive securities within the term specified in the SAFE that would result in the issuance of a variable number of the INX’s equity instruments. Accordingly, as the SAFEs are a non-derivative for which the conversion price into the Company’s equity instruments is fixed at the end of its term, the consideration received from investors pursuant to the SAFEs is classified as equity. As of December 31, 2022, all INX SAFE’s have been converted into common shares.
| g. | Fair value measurement: |
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value measurement is based on the assumption that the transaction will take place in the asset’s or the liability’s principal market, or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market.
The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.

NOTE 2: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)
Fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.
The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs.
All assets and liabilities measured at fair value or for which fair value is disclosed are categorized into levels within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the entire fair value measurement.
The Company classifies the bases used to measure certain assets and liabilities at their fair value. Assets and liabilities carried or measured at fair value have been classified into three levels based upon a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements.
The levels are as follows:
| Level 1: | Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date; |
| Level 2: | Significant inputs other than within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e.: as prices) or indirectly (i.e.: derived from prices); |
| Level 3: | Inputs for the assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data and require management assumptions or inputs from unobservable markets. |
For details of the fair value of the INX Token liability - See Note 12. For the fair values of INX Token warrant liability, see Note 13. The fair values of current financial assets and financial liabilities, other than the INX Token and INX Token warrant liability, approximate their carrying amounts due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.
Digital assets are measured on initial recognition at cost.
Digital assets characterized as inventory (current assets):
The Company has assessed that it acts in a capacity as a commodity broker trader as defined in IAS 2, Inventories, in characterizing certain of its holdings as inventory, or more specifically, certain holdings of digital assets. Such digital assets held by the Company are principally acquired for the purpose of selling in the near future and generating a profit from fluctuations in price or broker-traders’ margin, therefore, they should be accounted for as inventory, and changes in fair value (less cost to sell) should be recognized in profit or loss.
Digital assets characterized as intangible assets (non-current assets):
Digital assets not characterized as inventory are classified as indefinite life intangible assets, and are tested for impairment annually or whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount exceeds its fair value less cost of sale. The Company recorded impairment of digital assets in the amount of $72 and $80, for the year ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
For digital assets, the fair value is determined by the volume-weighted average of prices across principal exchanges as of 12:00 AM UTC, per Coinmarketcap.com. Coinmarketcap.com is a pricing aggregator, as the principal market or the most advantageous market is not always known. The Company believes that any price difference amongst the principal market and an aggregated price to be immaterial.

NOTE 2: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)
The Company determines revenue recognition from contracts with customers through the following steps:
| ● | Identification of the contract with the customer; |
| ● | Identification of performance obligations in the contract; |
| ● | Determination of transaction price; |
| ● | Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and |
| ● | Recognition of the revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation. |
In determining the amount of revenue from contracts with customers, the Company evaluates whether it is a principal or an agent in the arrangement. The Company is a principal when the Company controls the promised goods or services before transferring them to the customer. In these circumstances, the Company recognizes revenue for the gross amount of the consideration. When the Company is an agent, it recognizes revenue for the net amount of the consideration, after deducting the amount due to the principal.
Brokerage fees revenue is recorded according to the date the service was provided, or the operation was carried out.
Trading fees revenue includes revenue from transaction and trading fees charged to customers utilizing the Company’s trading platform and are presented on net basis. The Company’s service is comprised of a single performance obligation to provide a matching service when customers buy, sell, or convert digital assets. The Company does not control the digital asset being provided before it is transferred to the buyer, does not have inventory risk related to the digital asset, and is not responsible for the settlement of the digital asset. The Company also does not set the price for the digital asset as the price is a market rate established by users of the platform. As a result, the Company acts as an agent in facilitating the ability for a customer to purchase digital assets from another customer.
Trading fees charged on the INX.One trading platform are recognized as revenue when the Company’s obligation is satisfied, the promised services are transferred to the customer and the customer obtains control. Contracts with customers are usually open-ended and can be terminated by either party without a termination penalty. Therefore, contracts are defined at the transaction level and do not extend beyond the service already provided. The transaction price is the amount of the consideration that is expected to be received based on the contract terms, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties (such as taxes).
The Company also recognizes revenue from buying and selling digital assets it owns. Such revenue is recognized in the gross amount of consideration received on sales less the cost of digital assets sold.
Intangible assets acquired in a business combination are measured at fair value at the acquisition date.
Intangible assets with a finite useful life are amortized on a straight-line basis over their useful life and reviewed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the asset may be impaired. The amortization period and the amortization method for an intangible asset are reviewed at least at each year-end. As of December 31, 2022, the Company recorded $361 of loss on impairment related to certain legacy components of the INXS middle office system that became obsolete and were replaced by a newly developed software (see Note 11d).
Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not systematically amortized and are tested for impairment annually or whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The useful life of these assets is reviewed annually to determine whether their indefinite life assessment continues to be supportable. If the events and circumstances do not continue to support the assessment, the change in the useful life assessment from indefinite to finite is accounted for prospectively as a change in accounting estimate and on that date the asset is tested for impairment. Commencing from that date, the asset is amortized systematically over its useful life.

NOTE 2: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)
The useful life of intangible assets is as follows:
| | Licenses | | Customer relationships | | Trade name | | Technology |
| | | | | | | | |
Useful life | | Indefinite | | Definite 10.58 years | | Definite 10.58 years | | Definite 8.67 years |
| | | | | | | | |
Amortization method | | Not amortized | | Straight-line | | Straight-line | | Straight-line |
| k. | Business combinations and goodwill |
Business combinations are accounted for by applying the acquisition method. The cost of the acquisition is measured at the fair value of the consideration transferred on the acquisition date with the addition of non-controlling interests in the acquiree. In each business combination, the Company chooses whether to measure the non-controlling interests in the acquiree based on their fair value on the acquisition date or at their proportionate share in the fair value of the acquiree’s net identifiable assets. Direct acquisition costs are recorded in the statement of comprehensive income as incurred. Contingent consideration is recognized at fair value on the acquisition date and classified as a financial asset or liability in accordance with IAS 39. Subsequent changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration are recognized in profit or loss.
Goodwill is initially measured at cost which represents the excess of the acquisition consideration and the amount of non-controlling interests over the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. If the resulting amount is negative, the acquirer recognizes the resulting gain on the acquisition date.
| l. | Impairment of non-financial assets: |
The Company evaluates the need to record an impairment of non-financial assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount is not recoverable. If the carrying amount of non-financial assets exceeds their recoverable amount, the assets are reduced to their recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs of sale and value in use. In measuring value in use, the expected future cash flows are discounted using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the asset. The recoverable amount of an asset that does not generate independent cash flows is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Impairment losses are recognized in profit or loss.
An impairment loss of an asset, other than goodwill, is reversed only if there have been changes in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. Reversal of an impairment loss, as above, shall not be increased above the lower of the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of depreciation or amortization) had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years and its recoverable amount. The reversal of impairment loss of an asset presented at cost is recognized in profit or loss.
The following criteria are applied in assessing impairment of these specific assets:
| 1. | Goodwill in respect of subsidiaries: |
The Company reviews goodwill for impairment once a year, on December 31, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that there is an impairment.

FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 2022 AND 2021
U.S. dollars in thousands (except share, token, per share and per token data)
NOTE 2: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)
Goodwill is tested for impairment by assessing the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit (or group of cash-generating units) to which the goodwill has been allocated. An impairment loss is recognized if the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit (or group of cash-generating units) to which goodwill has been allocated is less than the carrying amount of the cash-generating unit (or group of cash-generating units). Any impairment loss is allocated first to goodwill. Impairment losses recognized for goodwill cannot be reversed in subsequent periods.
| 2. | Intangible assets with an indefinite useful life that have not yet been systematically amortized: |
The impairment test is performed annually, on December 31, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that there is an impairment (see Note 11d).
| m. | Customer funds and funds due to customers: |
Customer funds represent cash and digital assets that are held for the exclusive benefit of customers. The Company safeguards these assets and is subject to security risks for loss, theft or misuse. Therefore, the Company has concluded it has control over these assets and records them and the corresponding liability in the consolidated financial statements at fair value upon initial recognition and subsequently at each reporting period. The Company restricts the use of the assets underlying the customer funds to meet regulatory requirements and classifies the assets as current based on their purpose and availability to fulfill its direct obligation to customers.
The Company accounts for a contract as a lease when the contract terms convey the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
The Company as a lessee:
For leases in which the Company is the lessee, the Company recognizes on the commencement date of the lease a right-of-use asset and a lease liability, excluding leases whose term is up to 12 months and leases for which the underlying asset is of low value. For these excluded leases, the Company has elected to recognize the lease payments as an expense in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
In measuring the lease liability, the Company has elected to apply the practical expedient in the Standard and does not separate the lease components from the non-lease components (such as management and maintenance services, etc.) included in a single contract.
On the commencement date, the lease liability includes all unpaid lease payments discounted at the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate can be readily determined, or otherwise using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. After the commencement date, the Company measures the lease liability using the effective interest rate method.

U.S. dollars in thousands (except share, token, per share and per token data)
NOTE 2: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)
On the commencement date, the right-of-use asset is recognized in an amount equal to the lease liability plus lease payments already made on or before the commencement date and initial direct costs incurred. The right-of-use asset is measured applying the cost model and depreciated over the shorter of its useful life and the lease term (3 years and 9 years).
The Company tests for impairment of the right-of-use asset whenever there are indications of impairment pursuant to the provisions of IAS 36.
| o. | Share-based payment transactions: |
Certain of the Company’s employees and other service providers are entitled to remuneration in the form of equity settled share-based payment transactions. The cost of the transactions is measured at the fair value of the equity instruments granted at grant date, using an appropriate valuation model, further details of which are provided in Note 18. The cost of the transactions is recognized in profit or loss together with a corresponding increase in equity or for share-based grants during the period which the performance and/or service conditions are to be satisfied ending on the date on which the relevant employees/service provider become entitled to the award (the “vesting period”). The cumulative expense recognized at the end of each reporting period until the vesting date reflects the extent to which the vesting period has expired and the Company’s best estimate of the number of instruments that will ultimately vest.
| p. | Research and development expenses: |
Research expenses are recognized in profit or loss when incurred. An intangible asset arising from a development project or from the development phase of an internal project is recognized if the Company can demonstrate all of the following: the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale; the Company’s intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it; the Company’s ability to use or sell the intangible asset; how the intangible asset will generate future economic benefits; the availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the intangible asset; and the Company’s ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development. Through December 31, 2022, the Company has not met all the aforementioned criteria and therefore all development costs have been recognized in profit or loss.
The consolidated financial statements include estimates and assumptions for determining the future tax rates applicable to subsidiaries and identifying temporary differences that relate to each subsidiary. Current income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities using the tax rates used enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. Deferred tax is provided using a liability method on temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes at the reporting date. Deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and the carryforward of any unused tax losses. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent it is probable that taxable profit will be available against the deductible temporary differences and that the carryforward of unused tax losses can be utilized. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted accordingly.
| r. | Property, plant and equipment: |
Property, plant and equipment are measured at cost, including directly attributable costs, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.

Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the useful life of the assets at annual rates as follows:
| | Percentage | |
Communication & equipment | | | 15 | |
Office furniture and equipment | | | 7-10 | |
Computers and software | | | 33 | |
Leasehold improvements | | | see below | |
Leasehold improvements are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term (including the extension option held by the Company and intended to be exercised) and the useful life of the improvement.
The useful life and depreciation method of an asset are reviewed at least each year-end and any changes are accounted for prospectively as a change in accounting estimate.
| s. | Net income (loss) per share: |
Basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the income (net) loss attributable to equity holders of the Company by the weighted average number of Common Shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss), as above, after adjustment for interest on the convertible loans by the weighted average number of Common Shares outstanding, as above, plus the weighted average number of Common Shares that would be issued on conversion of stock options and warrants.
For the year ended December 31, 2022, the effect of the inclusion of the weighted average number of shares that would have been issued upon the conversion of the Company’s employees stock options and options issued under SAFE agreements were dilutive (see Note 20).
| u. | Employee benefit liabilities: |
The Company has several employee benefit plans:
| 1. | Short-term employee benefits: |
Short-term employee benefits are benefits that are expected to be settled wholly before twelve months after the end of the annual reporting period in which the employees render the related services. These benefits include salaries, paid annual leave, paid sick leave, recreation and social security contributions and are recognized as expenses as the services are rendered. A liability in respect of a cash bonus or a profit-sharing plan is recognized when the Company has a legal or constructive obligation to make such payment as a result of past service rendered by an employee and a reliable estimate of the amount can be made.
| 2. | Post-employment benefits: |
The plans are normally financed by contributions to insurance companies and classified as defined contribution plans.
The Company has defined contribution plans pursuant to section 14 to the Severance Pay Law under which the Company pays fixed contributions and will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions if the fund does not hold sufficient amounts to pay all employee benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods.
Contributions to the defined contribution plan in respect of severance or retirement pay are recognized as an expense when contributed concurrently with performance of the employee’s services.
During the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company incurred costs of $899 and $608, respectively, related to contributions to employee post-retirement benefit plans.

NOTE 3: NEW ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
There are no new accounting policies or recent accounting pronouncements adopted during the year ended December 31, 2022.
Accounting standards and amendments to existing standards that are not yet effective
In February 2021, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements, amendments to IFRS Practice Statement 2 Making Materiality Judgements and amendments to IAS 8 Definition of Accounting Estimate. The amendments require companies to disclose material accounting policies rather than their significant accounting policies and to help distinguish between changes in accounting estimates versus accounting policies. These amendments are effective for annual periods starting on or after January 1, 2024. The Company is assessing the impact of these amendments.
In January 2020, which was further amended in 2022, the IASB issued amendment to IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements to clarify the requirements for classifying liabilities as current or non-current. The new guidance will be effective for annual periods starting on or after January 1, 2024. The Company is assessing the impact of this amendment.
In May 2021, the IASB issued an amendment to IAS 12, “Income Taxes” (“IAS 12”), which narrows the scope of the initial recognition exception under IAS 12.15 and IAS 12.24 (“the Amendment”).
According to the recognition guidelines of deferred tax assets and liabilities, IAS 12 excludes recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities in respect of certain temporary differences arising from the initial recognition of certain transactions. This exception is referred to as the “initial recognition exception”. The Amendment narrows the scope of the initial recognition exception and clarifies that it does not apply to the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities arising from transactions that are not a business combination and that give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences, even if they meet the other criteria of the initial recognition exception.
The Amendment applies for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023, with earlier application permitted. In relation to leases and decommissioning obligations, the Amendment is to be applied commencing from the earliest reporting period presented in the financial statements in which the Amendment is initially applied. The cumulative effect of the initial application of the Amendment should be recognized as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings (or another component of equity, as appropriate) at that date.
The Company estimates that the initial application of the Amendment is not expected to have a material impact on its financial statements.

Mr. Datika was a shareholder of ILSB and sold his shares to INX as part of the ILSB Acquisition. Immediately prior to the ILSB Acquisition, Mr. Datika held, directly and indirectly, approximately 20% of the outstanding share capital of ILSB. Mr. Datika waived his right to receive full consideration under the ILSB Acquisition and received only an amount equal to the tax payments due by him and by his affiliated entity in connection with the ILSB Acquisition. As a result of such waiver, the consideration paid by INX as part of the ILSB Acquisition was reduced from $4,909 to $4,327. Mr. Datika is one of the founding shareholders of INX (through the wholly owned company Triple-V) and is also the CEO of INX. The waiver of the partial consideration by Mr. Datika in the amount of $582 was recorded as a contribution to equity ILSB is a multinational brokerage house, established in 2001, that facilitates financial transactions between banks and offers a full range of brokerage services to several leading banks worldwide.

NOTE 5: REVERSE TAKEOVER TRANSACTION
In connection with the completion of the Transaction (See Note 1 – Purchase Transaction), the Company consolidated its issued and outstanding common shares (the “Consolidation”) on the basis of one (1) post-Consolidation Share for every 2.7266667 pre-Consolidation Shares outstanding on a fully-diluted basis such that immediately prior to the Closing, there were 5,124,740 Shares outstanding on a fully-diluted basis, including 1,280,000 shares issues to finders (“post consolidated shares”). The deemed value of the post-consolidated shares was $4,372 based on a per share price of $0.85 which share price is derived from the proceeds allocated to the shares issued in the contemporaneous private placement described below.
The Company issued to the shareholders of INX (excluding holders of INX Financing Shares) consideration of an aggregate of 167,331,410 post-Consolidation common shares. The common shares issued to holders of INX Financing Shares were issued on a 1:1 basis, and all other common shares will be issued on the basis of 10.4871348 common shares for each INX Share (the “Conversion Ratio”).
As part of the Transaction the Company also completed a private placement of 31,680,000 INX subscription receipts for gross proceeds of $31,283. Each unit consist of one common share and one-half of one common share purchase warrant exercisable for two years at an exercise price of CAD1.88 ($1.49) per share. As the exercise price of the warrants is denominated in CAD while the functional currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar, the warrants are accounted for as a derivative liability. The warrants were valued at $4,255 as of the date of the private placement. As of December 31, 2022, none of these warrants were exercised and are outstanding. As of December 31, 2022 the warrants have been valued at $0, with the change of the fair value included on the statement of comprehensive income. Warrants are valued using the Black& Scholes model with the following assumptions:
Risk-free rate: | | | 4.58 | % |
Dividend yield: | | | Nil | |
Volatility factor: | | | 71.26 | % |
Expected life: | | | 1.03 years | |
Agents of the private placement collectively received cash commissions of $1,951, of which $259 was allocated to the warrants and recorded as transaction fees in profit or loss.
The balance of the gross proceeds from the private placement in the amount of $27,028 was allocated to the common shares. The related cash issuance cost amounted to $1,692, and the net addition to equity amounted to $25,336.
The placement agents also received 1,810,740 Agent compensation options exercisable into one common share at an exercise price of CAD1.25 ($0.99). The options have been valued at $515 using the Black& Scholes model with the following assumptions as of January 10, 2022:

In accordance with IFRS 3 “Business Combinations”, since the shareholders of INX. obtained control of the Company, the substance of the Transaction was a reverse takeover. The Transaction did not constitute a business combination since the Company did not meet the definition of a business under IFRS 3, as it was a non-operating company.
As a result, for accounting proposes, the transaction is being accountant for as a reverse takeover asset acquisition with INX Ltd. identified as the acquirer, the net assets of Valdy being treated as the acquired assets and the Valdy share-based payment transaction under IFRS 2, related to the acquisition of the public company listing. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements are presented as a continuation of INX Ltd. Consideration paid by the acquirer for the net assets of the Company, which was measured at the fair value of the equity issued to the shareholders of the Company, amounted to $4,372 for 5,124,740 shares at CAD 1.08 ($0.85) per share with the excess amount paid above the fair value of the net assets acquired, treated as listing expense in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.
The assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their fair value on the acquisition date are as follows:

During the year ended on December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded impairment of intangible assets with a definite useful life related to Technology of $361 and $0, respectively.
As of December 31, 2022, the carrying amount of Goodwill and Licenses were allocated as follows (each representing a cash-generating unit):
| | ILSB | | | INXS | | | Total | |
| | | | | | | | | |
Goodwill | | $ | 1,273 | | | $ | 1,017 | | | $ | 2,290 | |

Customer Relationships | | $ | 283 | | | $ | 1,232 | | | $ | 1,515 | |
The recoverable amount of ILSB (brokerage segment), prepared by an independent valuation specialist, was determined based on the value in use which is calculated at the expected estimated future cash flows from this cash-generating unit, as determined according to the budget for the next five years and approved by the Company’s management. The pre-tax discount rate of the cash flows is 23.45%. The projected cash flow for the period exceeding five years is estimated using a fixed growth rate of 3%, representing the long-term average growth rate as customary in the cash generating unit.
The recoverable amount of OFN (digital assets segment), prepared by an independent valuation specialist, was determined based on the value in use which is calculated at the expected estimated future cash flows from this cash-generating unit, as determined according to the budget for the next five years and approved by the Company’s management. The pre-tax discount rate of the cash flows is 27.19%. The projected cash flows for the period exceeding six years is estimated using a fixed growth rate of 3%, representing the long-term average growth rate as customary in the cash generating unit.
The value in use for all cash-generating units may change if any changes occur in the following key assumptions:
| ● | Growth rate for the period exceeding the five budget years. |
Discount rate - the discount rate reflects management’s assumptions regarding each unit’s specific risk. In determining the appropriate discount rate for each unit, the Company relied on the ten-year return on Government bonds.
Sensitivity analysis of changes in assumptions: With respect to the assumptions used in determining the value in use as described above, management believes that there are no reasonably possible changes in the key assumptions detailed above, which might lead to a significant change in the carrying amounts of ILSB and OFN to exceed their recoverable amounts.

NOTE 21: FINANCIAL RISKS AND RISK MANAGEMENT
Financial risk management objectives and policies
Activities of the Company may expose it to a variety of financial and related risks: credit risk, market risk, liquidity risk, digital asset risk, loss of access risk, irrevocability of transactions, and regulatory oversight risk, among others. The Company seeks to mitigate potential adverse effects of these risks on performance and the Company’s financial position by employing experienced personnel, monitoring of market events, maintaining sufficient liquidity, implementing appropriate policies and procedures addressing significant financial risks and diversifying the Company’s business strategy within the constraints of the Company’s objectives.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation or commitment that it has entered into, causing the other party to incur a financial loss. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents, investments and digital assets are exposed to credit risk. The Company limits its credit risk by placing its assets with high credit quality banks, financial institutions and digital assets custodians that are believed to have sufficient capital to meet their obligations. While the Company intends to only transact with counterparties that it believes to be creditworthy there can be no assurance that a counterparty will not default and that the Company will not sustain a material loss as a result. It is the Company’s policy to monitor the creditworthiness of its counterparties and to minimize the concentration of credit risk to mitigate significant loss caused by potential counterparty’s failure.

NOTE 21: FINANCIAL RISKS AND RISK MANAGEMENT (Cont.)
Market risk
Market risk is the risk that the value of financial instruments will fluctuate as a result of changes in market prices (other than those arising from interest rate risk or foreign currency risk), whether caused by factors specific to an individual investment, its issuer, or factors affecting all instruments traded in a market or market segment. All investments present a risk of loss of capital. The maximum risk resulting from financial instruments is equivalent to their fair value. The Company’s investments are susceptible to also market risk arising from uncertainties about future prices of the instruments. The Company moderates this risk through the various investment strategies within the parameters of the Company’s investment guidelines.
As of December 31, 2022, management’s estimate of the effect on equity investments due to a +/- 20% change in the market prices of the Company’s investments, with all other variables held constant, is +/- $8. (December 31, 2021 - $3).
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they come due, as well as the risk of not being able to liquidate invested assets at reasonable prices. The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining sufficient cash balances and investing capital reserves in highly rated, marketable financial instruments that allow meeting liquidity obligations in the ordinary course of business as well as under increased liquidity demands.
Foreign currency risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate as a result of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company’s exposure to foreign currency risk relates primarily to the Company’s continuing operation (when revenue or expense is recognized in a different currency from the Company’s presentation currency). As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, management’s estimate of the Company’s exposure related to the price fluctuation in foreign currency is not material.
NOTE 22: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
On December 15, 2022, INX entered into a shareholders’ and joint venture agreement with SICPA SA, a company organized under the laws of Switzerland, Mr. Yosef Meir Cohen and Mr. Hagai Itkin (“SICPA Agreement”), whereby parties to the agreement have agreed to joint their expertise and collaborate to develop central bank digital currency solutions with the utilization of blockchain technology. Subsequently, for the purpose of executing joint objectives under the SICPA Agreement, the parties agreed to form SICPA INX SA (“SICPA INX”), an entity organized under the laws of Switzerland. All parties to the agreement are to become shareholders of SICPA INX, with INX’s share of the issued and outstanding share capital to be 33 percent. Also, under the SICPA Agreement, INX is entitled to introduce
a new partner within the first year from the date of the agreement, which, if approved by the majority shareholder, would be entitled to receive a maximum number of shares constituting 16.5 percent of the issued and outstanding share capital of SICPA INX, which shall be reduced from INX’s initial allocation of shares. In relation to the SICPA Agreement, INX also intends to enter into a service agreement with SICPA INX to license its technology and provide technology support and management services for a period of one year in return for compensation.
NOTE 23: OPERATING SEGMENTS
Reportable segments represent the two lines of business for which the Company expects to earn income, incur costs and allocate resources. Operating segments are identified based on information that is reviewed by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) and senior management to make decisions about resources to be allocated and assess operational and financial performance. Accordingly, for management purposes, the Company is organized into operating segments as follows:
| 1. | Brokerage segment - facilitates financial transactions between banks and offers a full range of brokerage services to banks worldwide. |
| 2. | Digital assets segment - development and operation of an integrated, regulated solution for trading blockchain assets such as digital assets and security tokens, and providing services and products related to the trading of blockchain assets. |

NOTE 25: TAXES ON INCOME
The Company is a Canadian corporation for Canadian tax purposes and as such subject to British of Columbia taxes. Subsidiary entities are generally subject to taxes in the jurisdictions where they are located or have the majority of operations and management control, therefore federal income taxes are calculated as if the Company filed separate federal income tax returns. The following tax rates were applicable to the individual entities based on the country of their organization:
| ● | Canada corporate income tax rate - 28 percent in 2022 and 27 percent in 2021. |
| | |
| ● | Israel corporate income tax rate – 23 percent in 2022 and 2021 |
| | |
| ● | United States federal weighted tax rate - 21 percent (28 percent state weighted tax rate) |
| | |
| ● | Gibraltar tax rate - 12.5 percent and 10 percent before August 1, 2021. |
INX, ILSB and Midgard are subject to the tax assessment evaluation by the Israeli Tax Authority. After the receipt of such tax assessment the entity is no longer subject to the tax examination by the tax authority. The Company’s subsidiary, ILSB received the final tax assessment through 2020 tax year, whereas, Midgard and INX, has not received the final tax assessment since its incorporation.
b. | | Carryforward losses for tax purposes and other temporary differences: |
Carryforward operating tax losses of the Group total approximately $55,000 as of December 31, 2022. Deferred tax assets relating to these losses and to other deductible temporary differences were not recognized because their utilization in the foreseeable future is not probable.
As the Company and its subsidiaries incurred operating losses during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 for which deferred income taxes were not recorded, as mentioned in Note 25b, the reconciliation between the tax expense, assuming that all the income and expenses, gains and losses in the statement of income were taxed at the statutory tax rate, and the taxes on income recorded in profit or loss, does not provide significant information and therefore is not presented.
During the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company recognized income tax expense of $119 and $157.
NOTE 26: SUBSEQUENT EVENT
