Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
Three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020
(Expressed in Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted)
1. | Nature of operations and going concern |
DeFi Technologies Inc. (the “Company” or “DeFi”), is a publicly listed company incorporated in the Province of British Columbia and continued under the laws of the Province of Ontario. The Company shares trade on the NEO Exchange (“NEO”) under the symbol of “DEFI”. DeFi is a Canadian company that carries on business with the objective of enhancing shareholder value through building and managing assets in the decentralized finance sector. The Company’s head office is located at 198 Davenport Road, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M5R 1J2.
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements were prepared on a going concern basis of presentation, which contemplates the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities as they become due in the normal course of operations for the next fiscal year. As at June 30, 2021, the Company has working capital of $30,211,666 (December 31, 2020 - $785,553), including cash of $9,214,585 (December 31, 2020 - $332,075) and an accumulated deficit of $41,903,291 (December 31, 2020 - $22,566,240). The Company’s current source of operating cash flow is dependent on the success of its business model and operations and there can be no assurances that sufficient funding, including adequate financing, will be available to cover the general and administrative expenses necessary for the maintenance of a public company. The Company’s status as a going concern is contingent upon raising the necessary funds through the selling of investments and issuance of equity or debt. Management believes its working capital will be sufficient to support activities for the next twelve months and expects to raise additional funds when required and available. There can be no assurance that funds will be available to the Company with acceptable terms or at all. These matters constitute material uncertainties that cast significant doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
Novel Coronavirus (“COVID-19”)
The Company’s operations could be significantly adversely affected by the effects of a widespread global outbreak of a contagious disease, including the recent outbreak of respiratory illness caused by COVID-19. The Company cannot accurately predict the impact COVID-19 will have on its operations and the ability of others to meet their obligations with the Company, including uncertainties relating to the ultimate geographic spread of the virus, the severity of the disease, the duration of the outbreak, and the length of travel and quarantine restrictions imposed by governments of affected countries. In addition, a significant outbreak of contagious diseases in the human population could result in a widespread health crisis that could adversely affect the economies and financial markets of many countries, resulting in an economic downturn that could further affect the Company’s operations and ability to finance its operations.
2. | Significant accounting policies |
(a) | Statement of compliance |
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB) applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements, including IAS 34 – Interim Financial Reporting. These condensed interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, which was prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
Three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020
(Expressed in Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted)
| 2. | Significant accounting policies (continued) |
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements were prepared on a going concern basis, under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of financial assets and financial liabilities (including derivative instruments) at fair value through profit or loss. The preparation of financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgment in applying the Company’s accounting policies.
The Company’s condensed consolidated interim financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars. The functional currency for the Company and its subsidiaries Electrum Streaming Inc. and DeFi Capital Inc. (formerly DeFi Holdings Inc.) is the Canadian dollar. The functional currency of DeFi Holdings (Bermuda) Ltd, Valour Inc. (formerly Valour Structured Products, Inc.), Catenafin AG and C de Geer 2 AB is the United States dollar.
Transactions in currencies other than the entity’s functional currency (foreign currencies) are recognized at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. Gains and losses are included in operations.
Financial statements of subsidiaries for which the functional currency is not the Canadian dollar are translated into Canadian dollars as follows: all asset and liability accounts are translated at the period end exchange rate and all earnings and expense accounts and cash flow statement items are translated at average exchange rates for the period. The resulting translation gains and losses are recorded as exchange differences on translating foreign operations in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“AOCI”).
(c) | Basis of consolidation |
Subsidiaries consist of entities over which the Company is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns as well as the ability to affect these returns through the power to direct the relevant activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date control is transferred to the Company and are decondensed consolidated from the date control ceases. The condensed consolidated interim financial statements include all the assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and cash flows of the Company and its subsidiary after eliminating inter-entity balances and transactions.
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary Electrum Streaming Inc., DeFi Capital Inc., DeFi Holdings (Bermuda) Ltd., Valour Inc., Catenafin AG and C de Geer 2 AB. All material intercompany transactions and balances between the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated on consolidation. Intercompany balances and any unrealized gains and losses or income and expenses arising from intercompany transactions are eliminated in preparing the condensed consolidated interim financial statements.
(d) | Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions |
The preparation of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Such estimates and assumptions are continuously evaluated and are based on management’s experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual outcomes can differ from these estimates. The impacts of such estimates are pervasive throughout the condensed consolidated interim financial statements and may require accounting adjustments based on future occurrences. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised, and the revision affects both current and future periods.
Information about critical judgments and estimates in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the condensed consolidated interim financial statements are as follows:

| 2. | Significant accounting policies (continued) |
(d) | Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions (continued) |
| (i) | Accounting for Digital Assets |
The IFRS Interpretations Committee (the “Committee”) published its agenda decision on Holdings of Cryptocurrencies in June 2019. The Committee concluded that IAS 2 – Inventories applies to cryptocurrencies when they are held for sale in the ordinary course of business, otherwise an entity should apply IAS 38 - Intangible Assets to holdings of cryptocurrencies. 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, digital assets. If assets held by commodity broker-traders are principally acquired for the purpose of selling in the near future and generating a profit from fluctuations in price or broker-traders’ margin, such assets are accounted for as inventory, and changes in fair value less costs to sell are recognized in profit or loss.
Digital currencies consist of cryptocurrency denominated assets (see Note 6) and are included in current and long-term assets. Digital currencies are carried at their fair value determined by the spot rate less costs to sell. The digital currency market is still a new market and is highly volatile; historical prices are not necessarily indicative of future value; a significant change in the market prices for digital currencies would have a significant impact on the Company’s earnings and financial position. Fair Value for Bitcoin, Cardano, Ethereum and Polkadot is determined by taking the price at 17:30 CET from Kraken and Coinbase exchanges. Fair value for the other digital assets is determined by taking the last closing price in the range (UTC time) from www.coinmarketcap.com.
| (ii) | Fair value of financial derivatives |
Investments in options and warrants which are not traded on a recognized securities exchange do not have a readily available market value. When there are sufficient and reliable observable market inputs, a valuation technique is used; if no such market inputs are available, the warrants and options are valued at intrinsic value. Refer to Notes 3 and 17 for further details.
| (iii) | Fair value of investment in securities not quoted in an active market or private company investments |
Where the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded on the statement of financial position cannot be derived from active markets, they are determined using a variety of valuation techniques. The inputs to these models are derived from observable market data where possible, but where observable market data are not available, judgment is required to establish fair values. Refer to Notes 3 and 17 for further details.
The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to fair value options in order to calculate share-based compensation expense. The Black-Scholes model involves six key inputs to determine the fair value of an option: risk- free interest rate, exercise price, market price of the Company’s shares at date of issue, expected dividend yield, expected life, and expected volatility. Certain of the inputs are estimates which involve considerable judgment and are, or could be, affected by significant factors that are out of the Company’s control. The Company is also required to estimate the future forfeiture rate of options based on historical information in its calculation of share-based compensation expense.
Judgment is used in determining whether an acquisition is a business combination or an asset acquisition. In a business combination, all identifiable assets and liabilities acquired are recorded at their fair values. In determining the allocation of the purchase price in a business combination, including any acquisition related contingent consideration, estimates including market based and appraisal values are used. The contingent consideration is measured at its acquisition-date fair value and included as part of the consideration transferred in a business combination. Contingent consideration that is classified as equity is not remeasured at subsequent reporting dates and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity.

2. | Significant accounting policies (continued) |
| (vi) | Estimated useful lives and impairment considerations |
Amortization of intangible assets is dependent upon estimates of useful lives, which are determined through the exercise of judgment. The assessment of impairment of these assets is dependent upon estimates of recoverable amounts that take into account factors such as economic and market conditions and the useful lives of assets.
| (vii) | Contingencies (See Note 20 for details) |
(e) | New and future accounting changes |
Certain new standards, interpretations, amendments and improvements to existing standards were issued by the IASB or IFRIC that are mandatory for accounting periods beginning on January 1, 2021 or later. Updates that are not applicable or are not consequential to the Company have been excluded. The following have not yet been adopted and are being evaluated to determine their impact on the financial statements.
IFRS 10 – Condensed consolidated interim Financial Statements (“IFRS 10”) and IAS 28 – Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures (“IAS 28”) were amended in September 2014 to address a conflict between the requirements of IAS 28 and IFRS 10 and clarify that in a transaction involving an associate or joint venture, the extent of gain or loss recognition depends on whether the assets sold or contributed constitute a business. The effective date of these amendments is yet to be determined; however, early adoption is permitted.
IAS 1 – Presentation of Financial Statements (“IAS 1”) was amended in January 2020 to provide a more general approach to the classification of liabilities under IAS 1 based on the contractual arrangements in place at the reporting date. The amendments clarify that the classification of liabilities as current or noncurrent is based solely on a company’s right to defer settlement at the reporting date. The right needs to be unconditional and must have substance. The amendments also clarify that the transfer of a company’s own equity instruments is regarded as settlement of a liability, unless it results from the exercise of a conversion option meeting the definition of an equity instrument. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on January 1, 2023.
IAS 37 – Provisions, Contingent Liabilities, and Contingent Assets (“IAS 37”) was amended. The amendments clarify that when assessing if a contract is onerous, the cost of fulfilling the contract includes all costs that relate directly to the contract – i.e. a full-cost approach. Such costs include both the incremental costs of the contract (i.e., costs a company would avoid if it did not have the contract) and an allocation of other direct costs incurred on activities required to fulfill the contract – e.g., contract management and supervision, or depreciation of equipment used in fulfilling the contract. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on January 1, 2022.
IFRS 3 – Business Combinations (“IFRS 3”) was amended. The amendments introduce new exceptions to the recognition and measurement principles in IFRS 3 to ensure that the update in references to the revised conceptual framework does not change which assets and liabilities qualify for recognition in a business combination. An acquirer should apply the definition of a liability in IAS 37 – rather than the definition in the Conceptual Framework – to determine whether a present obligation exists at the acquisition date as a result of past events. For a levy in the scope of IFRIC 21, the acquirer should apply the criteria in IFRIC 21 to determine whether the obligating event that gives rise to a liability to pay the levy has occurred by the acquisition date. In addition, the amendments clarify that the acquirer should not recognize a contingent asset at the acquisition date. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on January 1, 2022.

The Company’s financial instruments are exposed to several risks, including market, liquidity, credit and currency risks. There have been no significant changes in the risks, objectives, policies and procedures from the previous year. A discussion of the Company’s use of financial instruments and their associated risks is provided below:
Credit risk
Credit risk arises from the non-performance by counterparties of contractual financial obligations. The Company’s primary counterparty related to its cash carries an investment grade rating as assessed by external rating agencies. The Company maintains all or substantially all of its cash with a major financial institution domiciled in Canada. Deposits held with this institution may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not have sufficient cash resources to meet its financial obligations as they come due. The Company’s liquidity and operating results may be adversely affected if the Company’s access to the capital markets is hindered, whether as a result of a downturn in stock market conditions generally or related to matters specific to the Company, or if the value of the Company’s investments declines, resulting in losses upon disposition. In addition, some of the investments the Company holds are lightly traded public corporations or not publicly traded and may not be easily liquidated. The Company generates cash flow from proceeds from the disposition of its investments. There can be no assurances that sufficient funding, including adequate financing, will be available to cover the general and administrative expenses necessary for the maintenance of a public company. All of the Company’s assets, liabilities and obligations are due within one to three years.
The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash balances. The Company continuously monitors and reviews both actual and forecasted cash flows, and also matches the maturity profile of financial assets and liabilities. As a June 30, 2021, the Company had current assets of $154,926,162 (December 31, 2020 - $1,775,801) to settle current liabilities of $124,714,496 (December 31, 2020 - $992,248).
The following table shows the Company’s source of liquidity by assets as at June 30, 2021.

Market risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value of, or future cash flows from, the Company’s financial instruments will significantly fluctuate because of changes in market prices.
| (a) | Price and concentration risk |
The Company is exposed to market risk in trading its investments and unfavourable market conditions could result in dispositions of investments at less than favorable prices. In addition, most of the Company’s investments are in the resource sector. As at June 30, 2021, one investment made up approximately 5.4% (December 31, 2020 – one investment of 26%) of the total assets of the Company.
For the six months ended June 30, 2021, a 10% decrease in the closing price of this concentrated position would result in an estimated increase in net loss of $1.4 million, or $0.01 per share.
For the six months ended June 30, 2021, a 10% decrease (increase) in the closing prices of its portfolio investments would result in an estimated increase (decrease) in net loss of $3.0 million, or $0.02 per share.
For the six months ended June 30, 2021, a 10% decrease (increase) in the closing prices of its digital assets would result in an estimated increase (decrease) in net loss of $12.6 million, or $0.07 per share.
The Company’s cash is subject to interest rate cash flow risk as it carries variable rates of interest. The Company’s interest rate risk management policy is to purchase highly liquid investments with a term to maturity of one year or less on the date of purchase. Based on cash balances on hand at June 30, 2021, a 1% change in interest rates could result in $92,100 (December 31, 2020 - $3,320) change in net loss.
Currency risk is the risk that the fair value of, or future cash flows from, the Company’s financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company’s operations are exposed to foreign exchange fluctuations, which could have a significant adverse effect on its results of operations from time to time. The Company’s foreign currency risk arises primarily with respect to United States dollar, Euro and British Pound. Fluctuations in the exchange rates between these currencies and the Canadian dollar could have a material effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. The Company does not engage in any hedging activity to mitigate this risk. The Company reduces its currency risk by maintaining minimal cash balances held in foreign currency.

Market risk (continued)
| (c) | Currency risk (continued) |
As at June 30, 2021, the Company had the following financial assets and liabilities, (amounts posted in Canadian dollars) denominated in foreign currencies:
June 30, 2021 |
| United States Dollars | British Pound | European Euro |
Cash | $ 8,548,076 | $ - | $ - |

Net assets (liabilities) | $ 18,006,205 | $ (75,745) | $ 1,074,191 |
A 10% increase (decrease) in the value of the Canadian dollar against all foreign currencies in which the Company held financial instruments as of June 30, 2021 would result in an estimated increase (decrease) of approximately $1,900,500 (December 31, 2020- $(367,200)).
| (d) | Digital currencies risk |
Digital asset prices are affected by various forces including global supply and demand, interest rates, exchange rates, inflation or deflation and the global political and economic conditions. The profitability of the Company is directly related to the current and future market price of digital assets. In addition, the Company may not be able liquidate its inventory of digital assets at its desired price if required. A decline in the market prices for digital assets could negatively impact the Company’s future operations. Digital currencies have a limited history and the fair value historically has been very volatile. Historical performance of digital currencies are not indicative of their future price performance.
For the three months ended June 30, 2021, a 25% decrease in the closing price of the Company’s digital assets would result in an estimated increase in net loss of $31.4 million, or $0.15 per share.
Fair value of financial instruments
The Company has determined the carrying values of its financial instruments as follows:
| i. | The carrying values of cash, amounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. |
| ii. | Public and private investments are carried at amounts in accordance with the Company’s accounting policies as set out in Note 2 of the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2020 and 2019. |
| iii. | Digital assets are carried at the amount of US dollars they can be converted into. |
The following table illustrates the classification and hierarchy of the Company’s financial instruments, measured at fair value in the statements of financial position as at June 30, 2021.

Fair value of financial instruments (continued) Level 3 Hierarchy (continued)
As valuations of investments for which market quotations are not readily available, are inherently uncertain, may fluctuate within short periods of time and are based on estimates, determination of fair value may differ materially from the values that would have resulted if a ready market existed for the investments. Given the size of the private investment portfolio, such changes may have a significant impact on the Company’s financial condition or operating results.
The following table presents the fair value, categorized by key valuation techniques and the unobservable inputs used within Level 3 as at June 30, 2021.

The Company is party to certain management contracts. These contracts require that additional payments of up to approximately $2,409,000 be made upon the occurrence of certain events such as a change of control. As a triggering event has not taken place, the contingent payments have not been reflected in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements. Minimum commitments remaining under these contracts were approximately $701,000, all due within one year.
The Company is, from time to time, involved in various claims and legal proceedings. The Company cannot reasonably predict the likelihood or outcome of these activities. The Company does not believe that adverse decisions in any ending or threatened proceedings related to any matter, or any amount which may be required to be paid by reasons thereof, will have a material effect on the financial condition or future results of operations.
A former officer of the Company has initiated a legal action seeking approximately $450,000 for fees owed plus interest. The Company intends to defend the matter and is currently reviewing its options with regards to this action. The full amount of the claim has been included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the statement of financial position.
Subsequent to June 30, 2021, 1,028,260 shares were issued from warrants exercised for gross proceeds of $166,798.
