Abaxx Technologies Inc. (“Abaxx” or the “Company”) is a company incorporated under the Alberta Business Corporations Act. Its corporate headquarters is located at 18 King Street East, Suite 902, Toronto, Ontario, M5C 1C4 and its registered office is located at 855- 2nd Street S.W., Suite 3500, Bankers Hall East Tower, Calgary, Alberta, T2P 4J8. The common shares of the Company are listed on the Aequitas NEO Exchange under the trading symbol “ABXX”.
Abaxx is a technology company engaged in development and deployment of trust enabling internet protocols.
On September 18, 2020, New Millennium Iron Corp. (“New Millennium”) and Abaxx entered into a definitive agreement. Pursuant to the definitive agreement, New Millennium indirectly acquired all the issued and outstanding Abaxx common shares through a reverse take-over transaction. New Millennium renamed itself to Abaxx on December 14, 2020, pursuant to the reverse take-over. The amalgamation was considered a reverse takeover as the legal acquiree’s former shareholders control the consolidated entity after completion of the amalgamation. Consequently, the legal acquiree is the accounting acquirer and the historical financial results presented in these condensed interim consolidated financial statements are those of Abaxx.
The Board of Directors approved the condensed interim consolidated financial statements on August 15, 2022.
2. | Significant accounting policies |
The same accounting policies are applied in these condensed interim consolidated financial statements as those disclosed in the notes to the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021.
(a) | Statement of compliance |
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, were prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting (IAS 34) and do not include all the information required for full annual financial statements. These condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021.
The accounting policies have been applied consistently to the periods presented in these condensed interim consolidated financial statements unless otherwise noted below.
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis other than certain of the Company’s financial instruments and gold investments that are measured at fair value.
The functional currency of the Company is the Canadian dollar which is also the presentation currency of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements. The functional currency of the Company’s subsidiaries is the United States dollar.
Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

(c) | Significant accounting judgments and estimates |
The preparation of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements requires management to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual outcomes could differ from these estimates. These condensed interim consolidated financial statements include estimates that, by their nature, are uncertain. The impacts of such estimates are pervasive throughout the condensed interim consolidated 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 future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. These estimates are based on historical experience, current and future economic conditions, and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Significant assumptions about the future that management has made that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities, in the event that actual results differ from assumptions made, relate to, but are not limited to, the following:
Share-based payments
Management is required to make certain estimates when determining the fair value of stock options awards, and the number of awards that are expected to vest. These estimates affect the amount recognized as share-based compensation in the statement of loss and comprehensive loss, based on estimates of forfeiture and fair value inputs such as expected lives of the underlying stock options.
Warrants
Management is required to make certain estimates on all inputs in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, when determining the fair value of warrants included in unit financings.
Fair value of financial instruments
The individual fair values attributed to the different components of a financing transaction, and/or derivative financial instruments, are determined using valuation techniques. The Company uses judgment to select the methods used to make certain assumptions and in performing the fair value calculations in order to determine (a) the values attributed to each component of a transaction at the time of their issuance; (b) the fair value measurements for certain instruments that require subsequent measurement at fair value on a recurring basis; and (c) for disclosing the fair value of financial instruments subsequently carried at amortized cost. These valuation estimates could be significantly different because of the use of judgment and the inherent uncertainty in estimating the fair value of these instruments that are not quoted in an active market.
Going concern assumption
Going concern presentation of the financial statements which assumes that the Company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations as they come due.
Consolidation
Judgment is applied in assessing whether the Company exercises control and/or has significant influence over the entities in which the Company directly or indirectly owns an interest. The Company has control when it has the power over the subsidiary, has exposure to rights or variable returns and has the ability to use its power to affect the returns. Significant influence is defined as the power to participate in the financial and operational decisions of the subsidiaries. Where the Company is determined to have control, these entities are consolidated. Additionally, judgment is applied in determining the effective date on which control, or significant influence was obtained.

Investment in associate
The values relating to investment in associate involve significant estimates and assumptions, including future cash flows and discount rates. It is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if the circumstances or assumptions change significantly.
(d) | Accounting standards not yet adopted |
The Company has chosen not to early adopt the following new standards and amendments to IFRS which have been issued but not yet effective for the accounting year beginning on or after January 1, 2023:
| ● | IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts |
| ● | Classification of liabilities as current or non-current (Amendments to IAS 1) |
| ● | Disclosure of Accounting Policies (Amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2) |
| ● | Definition of Accounting Estimate (Amendments to IAS 8) |
| ● | Deferred Tax Related to Assets and Liabilities Arising from a Single Transaction – Amendments to IAS 12 Income Taxes |
| ● | Sale or Contribution of Assets Between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture |
The Company has performed an assessment of new and revised standards issued by the IASB that are not yet effective. The Company has assessed that the impact of adopting these accounting standards on its financial statements would not be material.

Contingency
The Company is a party to the claims & litigation arising in the normal course of business. Due to the inherent uncertainties of litigation and/or the early stage of certain proceedings, the final outcomes of all ongoing litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty and the amount of any potential losses cannot be estimated reliably. The resolution of any future matters could materially affect the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
As part of the December 14, 2020, reverse takeover with New Millennium Iron Corp., the Company took on a legacy legal claim and this is a lawsuit filed by a former NML consultant in the amount of $1,500,000. The Company believes that the consultant was appropriately compensated and is contesting this claim.
In management’s opinion, based on its current knowledge and after consultation with counsel, the ultimate disposition of this action will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition or the consolidated cash flows of the Company. However, because of the factors listed above, as well as other uncertainties inherent in litigation, there is a possibility that the ultimate resolution of the legal action may be material to the Company’s consolidated results of operations for any reporting period.
The Company operates in a single segment, being the development and deployment of trust enabling Internet protocols. As at June 30, 2022, and 2021, the Company’s core assets, intellectual property, and development work, is conducted in Singapore.
