Quarterly report

for Q3 2024

for Q1 2024 XTPL S.A.

7 November 2024

Ladies and Gentlemen, Dear Shareholders and Investors,

We're sharing with you a report spanning the first three quarters of 2024 and outlining the steps we've taken to implement our long-term vision for XTPL growth: to develop a global standard in the production of future generations of advanced electronics.

In pursuing this ambition, we are following our Strategy for 2023–2026 and its key component of launching the second stage of the investment process aimed at reaching PLN 100 million in revenues from the sale of our products and services in 2026. We have fully delivered the goals and objectives of the first stage of this process, mostly financed with PLN 36.6 million gross raised in a public offer in 2023. To complete the 2023–2026 investment process, we need a total of PLN 60 million, so the Management Board has decided to recommend raising PLN 28–31 million gross via a public offer, which will enable us to scale up in the areas of organization, business and finance to the benefit of our investors. The recommendation of equity financing comes in the wake of our active search for debt financing options in recent quarters, both from commercial banks and from more mission-oriented organizations such as EIB or PFR (Polish Development Fund). The talks we've held have led us to believe that it is too early to seek financing from these sources at the expected scale and optimal cost.

The world's leading manufacturers of advanced electronics are currently testing four prototype industrial machines fitted with our print heads. XTPL groundbreaking technology is protected by scores of patents, and the ongoing commercialization has so far resulted in over 30 orders for our Delta Printing System (DPS). We have clients in over 20 countries and, in response to market demand, for several months we've been developing a new business line tentatively coded DPS+, which we expect will significantly contribute to our performance in the timeframe of our Strategy. XTPL has a recognizable presence at international industry and technology conferences. Potential clients are coming to us seeking solutions to the business challenges they face. The number of academic publications addressing XTPL solutions is growing at the fastest pace in years after our DPS devices found their way into prestigious research centers. The industrialization of our technology and our first industrial implementation for a global advanced electronics maker is the final element of building XTPL's global potential, which we're intensely pursuing. We do not rule out the possibility of this process starting in 2024, and if it does not, we expect 2025 to be a record-breaking breakthrough year for XTPL.

In recent months, the pace of orders for our DPS devices has been slower than the market expected, which is one of the reasons why we outlined the process of developing this business line from the turn of 2021 in a recent press release. DPS has two key roles for us. Short term, it provides a sizeable boost to our financial performance given the price of the device and the robust margin. Long term, it serves as a demonstrator of our technology, enabling users in North America (23%), Europe (39%) and Asia (39%) to test XTPL solutions across diverse areas and applications. To achieve tangible benefits from this sort of dispersed embedding of our technology in key markets, a large enough number of devices must be in active use. Now, with over 30 devices ordered globally, we are seeing these benefits starting to flow in an ever-increasing stream. New and promising areas we can branch into with our technology are emerging following tests made by some DPS users (71% are research organizations). At the same time, buyers who are not research institutes (29%, industrial clients) are considering the possibility of teaming up with us to develop projects intended for industrial implementation, supporting our growing pipeline of these ventures. The users of our DPS devices generate new business opportunities for us, because we, the sole owner of the patents and intellectual property, are the only company that can commercialize this technology on a large scale. Our clients and DPS users often act as informal ambassadors of our solutions in global markets. They best recognize the platform nature of our proprietary technology and boldly apply our solution across a growing number of technology and business verticals. We notice this and work on implementing product improvements expected in specific market sectors.

This is how the new business line tentatively named DPS+ is being developed. Clients, both present and potential, have requested this type of solution, which is why, while developing the device, we are collecting preliminary expressions of interest to buy the developed product. DPS+ will be geared at the market niche between industrial modules and DPS devices, offering a product for HMLV (High Mix Low Volume) production. In this model a relatively small volume (Low Volume) of a wide range of products (High Mix) is manufactured to meet a market need for highly personalized solutions. DPS+ will be a standalone product more highly automated than DPS and intended for use by technology corporations and electronics manufacturers. Given the characteristics of the device and the profile of its users, we can expect to sell up to a few units of the product under a single order (the first prototypes have already been ordered). These considerations – combined with the unit price that is roughly 50–100% higher than that of a DPS and the robust margin – make for a high revenue-generating potential of the business line and are among the factors that enable us to be buoyant about achieving the goal of PLN 100 million in commercial sales in 2026. If the current pace of R&D continues, we expect the first devices to be ordered and delivered to clients in mid-2025.

In addition, our first overseas sales and demonstration center in Boston, US, is slated for its official opening and becoming fully operational very soon. The efforts of our Managing Director for North America in 2024 are reaping handsome rewards: out of 4 DPS devices ordered in recent weeks, 3 have been ordered by US buyers (industrial clients). Considering the feedback from the American market, we can expect to break even soon and count on a positive contribution to XTPL's performance. The brick-and-mortar center with a laboratory equipped with XTPL products not only enables us to hold demonstrations for present and potential clients but also puts XTPL firmly on the map of serious players in the additive technologies industry. Currently, we are chiefly pursuing projects in the area of displays and semiconductors but are already seeing extensive interest in new and promising areas, including those related to the medical, military and space industries. Our Demo Center in the United States, the world's major market for additive technologies, will enable us to be closer to our clients, taking part in projects that were previously unavailable to us without a local outpost. Hopefully, we'll soon be able to share more good news about the performance of our Boston center.

We're developing a deep tech company in an industry marked by a long process of technology development, maturation and time before the placement of first orders. Significantly, we've already reached these milestones. We passed the test proving the effectiveness of our technology and, most importantly, its high commercial potential. Now we're working on gaining market credentials in the form of the first industrial implementation with a global advanced electronics maker, which will lend us even greater credibility, enabling a spike in revenues not only in the timeframe of our Strategy but also in the longer term. We continue in our unwavering belief that this goal is within our reach and that our first industrial implementation will speed up the progress of other XTPL projects geared toward the same outcome. We've never been closer to that moment than we are now.

We invite you to read our report and to stay in touch with us through our investor relations team and our regular performance.

Yours faithfully,

Filip Granek, PhD Jacek Olszański

3.5 Description of operations and basic products and services

XTPL operates in the nanotechnology and microelectronics segment. The Company develops and commercializes its globally innovative platform technology of ultra-precise printing of nanomaterials, protected by an international patent application. The breakthrough nature of the XTPL method is based on the unique combination of features such as additive material deposition, deposition accuracy, inks with high concentration of silver nanoparticles, and no need to use an electric field on the substrate during the printing process. In addition, the method ensures major time and material savings, and uses the traditional advantages of printing such as scalability, cost effectiveness, simplicity and speed. Thanks to dedicated inks, the XTPL method can be used to make prints that are have been so far unachievable by means of any other methods. Due to its platform character, the Company's solution will find application in the broadly understood printed electronics industry.

XTPL's strategic goal is commercialization of its platform technology of ultra-precise printing of nanomaterials in the area of advanced electronics.

TECHNOLOGY:

The Ultra Precise Deposition (UPD) technology developed and patented by the Company in response to the three market megatrends in the production of modern electronics. The industry is currently strongly focused on further miniaturization of the size and weight of electronic devices, modifying their forms and properties, and moving towards an increased flexibility and three-dimensionality. A critical global trend is also environmental protection based on efficient use of limited resources while reducing the production waste, which is enabled by additive technology.

One of the biggest achievements of XTPL is the innovative Ultra Precise Deposition (UPD) technology. The XTPL printing head, equipped with a special nozzle, applies ink to the substrate to create designed structures with a width as small as 1 μm. For comparison, most of the methods of printing electronic materials available on the market with difficulty reach the value of 20 μm, and only single manufacturers declare that they achieve values around 10 μm. The Company's solution can be used on various types of substrates, including flexible or curved ones. The UPD technology can be used to print both simple lines as well as patterns and microdots. Simplicity, unparalleled precision, speed and versatility are the features that make the Company's solution unique.

PRODUCTS

Ultra-Precise Dispensing System (UPD System)

Developed by the Issuer, the UPD System product line is a modular UPD dispensing device for integration with industrial systems, In this way, industrial integrators and end customers can print functional structures with high resolution and packing density. These innovative printing modules with compatible nanoinks enable the ultra-precise creation of conductive lines on the customer's selected technological substrate in low and high-volume applications. The UPD System integrates all the functions required by the XTPL® UPD technology along with electronic control and the proprietary XTPL® UPD Process Control Software package. In addition to the strong market interest in the evaluation of UPD System, XTPL is conducting advanced talks on the

commercialization of UPD System solutions with three global producers of consumer electronics (in Europe, South Korea and the USA) and five industrial integrators and producers of industrial machines (in Taiwan, South Korea, China and the USA).

The Issuer is gradually delivering the devices to the buyers. The last three orders were confirmed by the Issuer, which effectively means that a sales contract was formed. The sale will be recognized in the income statement in subsequent periods.

High-Performance Materials (HPM)

Since the start of the commercialization of nanoinks developed by the Company's internal R&D department, the XTPL materials line has been developed as a complementary and at the same time independent business line. During this time, the Company has reported a significant increase in activity in terms of the nanoinks on offer alongside expansion of the customer base and improving sales

performance. The offer of this business includes both conductive nanopastes with a unique formula enabling the full use of the potential of the UPD method, as well as a line of inks and pastes based on silver nanoparticles intended for use in other printing technologies, such as inkjet printing, LIFT (Laser Induced Forward Transfer), aerosol printing (with pneumatic systems) and micro-dispensing. With the small size of silver nanoparticles, in the range of 35 to 50 nm, their high stability and high electrical conductivity after the sintering process, the product is highly attractive both in the context of the UPD technology and for customers/ end users of other commercial technologies.

As at the Report Date, the Company sold HPM line products in over 77 transactions (252 since the beginning of commercialization of nanoinks – HPM from the EMEA, USA and Asia regions) to customers in 23 countries, gaining the trust of 62 returning customers.

In Q3 2024, as part of its product portfolio, the Issuer continued to offer within the HPM line a new innovative product: conductive paste based on gold nanoparticles. In this way, the XTPL offer currently includes inks and pastes based on two different types of metallic nanoparticles: silver and gold. Introduced as part of the "early access" program addressed to the current customer base, the new product offers an exceptionally high charge of the metallic component (90wt%) while being able to efficiently dispense the paste, even when using very thin printing nozzles. With this technological breakthrough, XTPL enables its customers to apply connections and electrodes of an unprecedented width of merely several micrometers. This is a step forward in the revolution of sensor printing or densely packed connections in semiconductor technologies, opening new possibilities in the design of advanced electronic devices.

The dual expertise of the XTPL team in both printing technology and materials engineering enables the Issuer to provide high-performance materials as a supplier and partner in contract research. The combination of the two areas of expertise is unique on the market and constitutes a competence advantage over the competition. The Company's departments are constantly working on improving the materials on offer to flexibly respond to the needs of the market and individual customers.

APPLICATION:

At present, the Company is focusing on commercialization of its technology in selected application fields. The first field is displays, where XTPL intends to offer open defect repair (ODR) in the first place. Along with the development of displays, increasing their resolution and functionality, the level of their miniaturization and the density of conductive paths also increases. A side effect of this development is a greater likelihood of critical defects, including broken conductive paths. For manufacturers, this means losses generated already on the production line as a result of the need to reject panels that fails quality tests. XTPL stands the chance to be the first and, for the time being, the only market player to introduce a proprietary solution, which will ensure a significant reduction of production losses without compromising the quality of the repaired displays. Next, the Company plans to provide the display industry with solutions that will help achieve a significant increase in the resolution of a new class of displays, also for new, flexible substrate types.

In the long run, the Company intends to develop its solution for new market segments. The XTPL technology may be implemented in the semiconductor industry also as a sought-after alternative for photolithography or in new types of connecting integrated circuits with PCBs, and, for example, facilitate the fabrication of innovative security printing solutions, functional and effective biosensors and highperformance photovoltaic panels. The technological revolution in which the Company is to play a vital role is about enabling the manufacture of complex and complicated electronic devices using cheap and scalable printing methods.

3.6 Business model, strategy and development outlook

BUSINESS MODEL:

XTPL is a supplier of advanced ultra-precise technology for nanomaterials printing. It develops and commercializes the technology in a way dedicated to a specific application field, and will rely primarily on the selected model:

● LICENSING:

The Company develops a technological solution dedicated to a particular application field, which is licensed to a partner who on its basis builds devices that allow the technology to be used in industry. In this case, the Company generates revenue from license fees related to the sale of devices equipped with the developed technology.

● STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP AND DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENTS:

The Company develops a technological solution dedicated to a particular application field; the solution is then commercialized in cooperation with a strategic partner under a joint venture agreement. In this case, commercialization tasks are divided between the partners in accordance with their competencies and potential. The Company participates in profits achieved through the joint venture.

Another possible option is to acquire a distributor for the Company's technology and products in a particular geographical region. In this case, the terms of cooperation and contracts will be determined depending on the market, the distributor's position, and the obligations agreed by the Parties.

● SALE OF PRODUCTS

The Company also develops sales of its proprietary products: Conductive nano-inks, based on silver nanoparticles, intended for use in printed electronics, and also adapted to other printing methods such as Ink Jet, Aerosol Jet and LIFT, and laboratory and prototyping devices complete with the necessary consumables. The Delta Printing System can be both a revenue source when sold to research institutes and industrial R&D departments, and an intermediate step towards licensing revenue in deals with business partners. Cooperation in the two areas will be based on a mutual exchange of experiences and knowledge, while the device will be delivered on commercial terms. In addition, each demonstrator sold will generate a stream of revenue from consumables, such as inks, cartridges, capillaries, as well as services, including consulting, research and maintenance (for the machines and software).

The choice of the optimal business model depends on the specific customer in the particular application field. Current talks take into account all of the above-mentioned business models, and the appropriate model is selected during the relationship-building process.

International Distributor Network

Starting from 2021, the Company began building a distribution network that will facilitate the promotion of XTPL technologies and products on the Issuer's most important markets. The need for that model of operation arose in 2020, when the coronavirus outbreak derailed the organization of on-site industry events. The difficulties building direct relations with potential buyers of XTPL technology prompted the Management Board to look for an alternative solution. As a result, during 2021 XTPL quickly attracted first five distribution companies to represent it on Asian and European markets. In 2022, partnership was forged with another two companies. In addition, in 2019, the Issuer also set up a commercial presence in the form of a subsidiary in the United States.

In the third quarter of 2024, the Issuer signed another agreement for the distribution of its technological solutions –- on July 2, 2024, it entered into an agreement for the non-exclusive distribution of the Issuer's technological solutions in Greece with Vector Technologies Ltd based in Greece (ESPI current report No. 37/2024 of July 2, 2024).

Under the agreement, the distributor will advertise and sell XTPL technological solutions in Greece. The cooperation is designed to support XTPL in reaching new academic and industrial clients and finding broader applications for XTPL technologies and products. It will focus on introducing solutions in the area of thin-film photovoltaics, memristors and sensors.

Vector is a leading company in Greece supplying materials and equipment for research and production purposes to universities and industries such as semiconductor and telecommunications. As part of the cooperation, the Distributor will promote XTPL solutions among its current and new customers.

3.7 XTPL'S ACTIVITY AND ACHIEVEMENTS IN Q3 2024

3.7.1 Issuer's progress and achievements in the commercialization of technologies and products

In the third quarter of 2024, the Company continued activities aimed at closing further sales transactions within all business lines.

During the Reporting Period, the XTPL team responsible for the commercialization of the Delta Printing System held numerous talks and engaged in many interactions with potential clients. As a result, the Company set up a list of experts from around the world, operating mainly in the microelectronics, microsystems, semiconductors, biosensors, displays and similar industries, who highly value the technology developed by the Company and are potential buyers of XTPL products in the following years. The unprecedentedly high printing precision, especially when using highly-viscous metallic inks, which is enabled by the Delta Printing System, is the main feature that makes global technological innovators interested in this device. Users of the Delta Printing System users appreciate the device also for its ease of use, platform character and the ability of quick start without long prior preparation, and for not having to clean the printing elements once the work is finished.

The Company's efforts helped stimulate a substantially increased interest in the Delta Printing System. In the third quarter of 2024, the Company confirmed three new orders for the supply of Delta Printing System (DPS) devices:

  • to a University in the Northeastern region of the USA (ESPI Current Report 43/2024 of September 17, 2024);
  • to an industrial client in Canada (ESPI Current Report 44/2024 of September 20, 2024);

● to the Vienna University of Technology (TU Wien) in Austria (ESPI Current Report 45/2024 of September 23, 2024).

XTPL continues and develops relations with other potential clients. The interest of potential buyers of the Delta Printing System is particularly attracted by the Company's activities aimed at direct relationship-building, participation in trade fairs and conferences, cooperation with local distributors and promotion of the device by its current users, who present and publish the results achieved by means of the Company's technology. The possibility of making microelectronic structures that previously could not be achieved using alternative methods is highly noted both by academic and industrial communities.

Metallic nanoinks: The fundamental concepts of nanoinks production elaborated by the Company during the development of conductive materials for the UPD technology have been commanded by representatives of scientific and industrial communities as extremely valuable in terms of production of new types of electronic devices with the use of additive technologies. Those concepts respond to the high requirements of the rapidly growing market for conductive inks, including the need for efficient deposition at a high load of the metallic component. The developed know-how enables the Company to sell its inks to various segments of the printed electronics market, animating further advances along this path of the Company's development.

Growing sales are generated on the back of this business line. The unique properties of XTPL inks have been successfully put to use in the projects of clients who operate in the sectors nanotechnology, OLED displays, and smart devices for medical technologies, using inkjet printing techniques, LIFT (Laser Induced Forward Transfer), and micro-dispensing techniques for high-viscosity inks.

The Company's laboratories are working on new formulations of nanoinks and there are plans to add those materials to the XTPL offer in 2024. Already in H1 2024, ink with gold nanoparticles was introduced to the Company's product range. In the Reporting Period, the Company also held talks with leaders of electronics manufactured by means of the additive method concerning establishment of strategic partnerships in the area of conductive inks. If the negotiations and ensuing business relations are successful, additional distribution channels will be established for nanoinks, and growing revenues will be achieved from the sale of those products.

Industrial implementations of the Company's technological solutions

As regards the Issuer's third and key business line – implementation of the XTPL technology on the production lines of global electronics manufacturers – work was conducted on nine projects from the Company's project pipeline. In addition to the reported pipeline, the Company intends to have up to ten projects that will be developed to bring them to a higher level of evaluation.

Other tasks related to the commercialization of the UPD technology

On top of that, in the Reporting Period the Issuer maintained its focus on other tasks related to the commercialization of the UPD technology in industrial applications. The most advanced talks and efforts are concentrated on selected applications related to the precise deposition of functional inks for:

(a) yield management in the area of high-resolution OLED displays;

(b) yield management in the semiconductor industry, in the area of back-end semiconductor chip processing; and

(c) depositing metallic inks to make high density metallic interconnections of the advanced PCBs.

(d) producing conductive 3D interconnections.

At the same time, the Company also engaged in talks with industrial entities regarding the use of the UPD technology to repair other types of advanced devices. This applies to the repair of displays made in micro-LED technology and the repair of defects in advanced integrated circuits. For both described applications, low production efficiency was one of the biggest challenges to further commercialization and to reduction of the unit price of the end product. The technology presented by the Company may solve this problem and help popularize new products (micro-LED displays and more efficient integrated circuits).

In addition to the strong market interest in the evaluation of UPD technology integration in production processes, XTPL is conducting advanced talks on the commercialization of printing module solutions with three global producers of consumer electronics (in Europe, South Korea and the USA) and five industrial integrators and producers of industrial machines (in Taiwan, South Korea, China and the USA). The sale of printing modules equipped with the UPD technology, and then the supply of consumables and paid maintenance of the modules are financially attractive for the Company. Increasing the variety of devices in the market will help the Company reach more customers and make inroads into new markets.

On July 1, 2024, the Issuer confirmed acceptance of the order for the delivery of the UPD printing module. The direct buyer is a company based in Hong Kong ("Partner") that will deliver the printing module to its customer in Mainland China. The partner is an entity that develops and distributes modern devices for prototyping processes using additive techniques, 3D product testing and the production of high-performance parts for the aerospace, energy and other sectors. Using the UPD printing module supplied by XTPL S.A., the end customer will build a device for prototyping and conducting R&D processes for applications in modern microelectronics and printed electronics. The devices will be intended for customers based in China.

Commercialization activities in the Flat Panel Display sector (ODR)

The Company continues cooperation with manufacturers of high-resolution displays in the area of repairing open defects in conductive paths within the electrical layer, as well as in the area of using precise dispensing technology for the production of new types of displays based on quantum dots technology. At the same time, the Company started talks and began evaluation tests with other display manufacturers in China and South Korea.

Based on talks and market analyses, the Company has also focused on repairing defects in micro-LED displays. These displays use LED diodes as a light source. Due to their size, the diodes can be used as independent pixels. The biggest challenge in manufacturing is to ensure proper efficiency level. If just one in tens of millions of LEDs is not properly mounted, the display will fail the quality test. By using the UPD technology, the micro-LED diode can be mounted again connected to electricity, which will significantly increase efficiency of the manufacturing process.

As regards the Issuer's activities in the ODR sector, it should be noted that in the third quarter of 2024, talks continued with representatives of a Korean company producing devices for the display industry and with an end-user – one of the largest display manufacturers in the world. The results achieved relating to the Client's specific application area are in line with expectations and significantly accelerate subsequent steps aimed at implementing UPD Systems at the end Client.

Commercialization activities in the area of advanced integrated circuits

The Company's technological solution consisting in the possibility of printing using material of very high viscosity on 3D surface topographies has attracted attention from manufacturers of advanced integrated circuits. With the UPD technology, it is possible make precise electrical connections in SiP (System-in-Package) systems, which bring together two or more integrated circuits in one housing. Entities with whom talks are being held are global top-tier producers in this area, based in North America, Asia and Europe.

3.7.2 Key achievements and progress in research & development

The key achievements and progress in research & development in the reporting period included:

  1. Development of high-concentration inks (pastes) based on copper and gold particles;

  2. Filling gaps in semiconductor structures with selected material, including controlled and efficient filling of microwells/ subpixels with quantum inks for uLED displays;

  3. Significant printing automation related to mapping substrates with complex topography before printing and then importing the map to the device;

  4. Modifying the dot printing method to achieve printing frequency of 8 Hz;

  5. Work on the implementation of projects within the NPD (New Product Development) process corresponding to the development roadmap of DPS devices, the UPD module and HPM materials.

During the reporting period, the R&D Team worked on such initiatives as the development and marketing of a new type of formulation based on gold nanoparticles with a metal content above 90%. It is intended for use in printable electronics, particularly in precision printing and putting electrodes in sensors. The new product is an advanced composition based mainly on spherical nanoparticles.

Fig. Summary of the new Au90 product intended for printing in UPD technology and commercially available dispensers. TEM images of 50 nm gold nanoparticles and prints of conductive microlines.

The Au 90 paste enables precise printing of microstructures with complex geometry based on a DPS printer, and thanks to its high gold content, it enables efficient deposition of a large amount of conductive material in one iteration. The low content of organic material in the formulation makes the product suitable for use in many industrial sectors that require a reduced amount of organic material, including in medical electronics, semiconductor technology and sensors. Thanks to its unique properties that prevent micro-nozzle clogging, it is an ideal product for depositing fine details on various substrates, such as glass, PCBs and foils (e.g. PET, Kapton).

Moreover, during work carried out under the European grant "Building Active MicroLED displays By Additive Manufacturing", the R&D team validated the compatibility of quantum inks with the DPS printing system for applications in precise and controlled sub-pixel filling in the new μLED display architecture. The UPD technology has a major advantage in this application based on precise regulation of the height of deposition of quantum dot layers in microwells which house the light conversion module. At the bottom of the subpixel there are nanowires emitting blue light that stimulates deposited quantum dots. As a result, the blue light is converted to green or red light. With the ability to adjust the volume of quantum inks put in microwells using a DPS printer, it is possible to control the external quantum efficiency in the light conversion module, achieve higher process repeatability and minimize losses of the fluorescent nanomaterials used during printing

Fig. Microwells filled with inks based on a) red and b) green quantum dots using the DPS.

During the Reporting Period, the company also worked on depositing dots from dispensable materials in a repeatable and rapid manner using XTPL UPD technology. A print speed of about 8 dots per second (8Hz) was achieved. The dots are deposited using the Delta Printing System (DPS) printer with CL85 silver paste and a nozzle with an outer diameter of 5 μm. At the stated speed, over 100,000 dots were deposited. The diameter of the dots ranged from 6.8 to 9.2 μm.

To meet the needs of our customers and market requirements, the R&D Team has also begun research into increasing the capabilities of autonomous printing on our devices. In the current configuration, our printer fully supported automatic printing along a set trajectory in the X and Y axes. However, market requirements and the rapidly developing industry have shown a great demand for enabling printing in 3 axes, allowing for the variable topography of the substrate, including, for example, printing on "steps". As part of the research, it was first necessary to indicate a potentially optimal tool that would allow scanning the substrate with sufficient accuracy and resolution. Taking into account the initial assumptions and requirements for the developed functionality, we decided to use a confocal sensor as a tool to virtualize the substrate surface and record it as a set of coordinates in three-dimensional space.

Based on the virtual surface map, the operator is able to mark the head's travel path in the XY axes using the implemented graphical interface.

Using the data from the confocal sensor and the plotted travel coordinates, the system automatically generates the head travel trajectory taking into account 3 axes (XYZ). Moreover, thanks to the ability to determine the degree of tolerance, the system is able to minimize certain imperfections of the scanning device by eliminating the influence of noise on the resulting print trajectory.

In the case of step printing, the algorithms used automatically approximate the movement on the edge to optimize the path as much as possible.

In order to increase the precision and quality of the print, while maintaining or even increasing the speed of the entire process, the Team began work on further optimization of the DPS device. The research and subsequent development work directly affected both the control software and the printer hardware solutions themselves.

Thanks to the use of the new 2.0 dosing system together with the optimization of the printing algorithm, the inertia of the dosing system has been minimized. This helped in almost complete elimination of artifacts appearing at the beginning and end of printed paths, while maintaining or even increasing the maximum printing speeds achieved by our device.

The introduction of a graphical interface (GUI) to the DPS device control application has brought significant improvements in everyday work. Thanks to the GUI, operation has become more intuitive and user-friendly, which significantly facilitates the daily work of both experienced operators and new users.

Today, instead of entering complex commands in console mode, users can benefit from clear, visual interfaces, which minimizes the risk of errors and allows work to be started faster. Additionally, new operators can learn to operate the machine more quickly, reducing training time and facilitating an earlier start of production. The GUI has also improved the accessibility of key functions, such as monitoring print progress and easy management of settings, which significantly increases the efficiency and comfort of working with the printer.

The next planned step in development is to enable remote control or monitoring of our device, e.g. from an external room, so that the operator does not have to work directly from a clean room. This is possible by changing the architecture of the entire system and setting up the API interface.

3.8 FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

3.8.1 Principles for drafting the Quarterly Financial Statements

3.8.2 General information and basis of preparation

The quarterly condensed financial statements of XTPL Group (standalone and consolidated) cover the period of nine months ended September 30, 2024, and the comparative data for the period of nine months ended September 30, 2023. They were prepared using the historical cost convention. The financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that the Company will continue in operation for at least a year from the Report Date.

At the date of approval of these financial statements, the Management Board has not identified any circumstances which would point to a risk to continuity of operations in the above period.

The financial statements do not contain all the information and disclosures required of annual financial statements and should be read jointly with the annual financial statements of XTPL S.A. for 2023 as published on April 25, 2024.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the International Accounting Standard ("IAS") 34 Interim Financial Reporting and in accordance with the Finance Minister's Ordinance on current and financial information.

The Company is consistently implementing it development strategy for 2023-2026 adopted in November 2023. The main goal of the strategy is to achieve PLN 100 million in commercial revenues in 2026. In order to reach this ambition, an investment process is needed, estimated at PLN 60 million over the Strategy period. This process is designed to make the Company ready to acquire and handle sales in the order of PLN 100 million, with a focus on key areas: sales, production and product development.

In the first stage, the Company raised PLN 36.6 million gross through the issue of shares in July 2023. In this way, XTPL has managed to significantly increase its production capacity, even halving the time needed to build the devices. The Company has also achieved an appropriate level of inventory to secure key components for the fabrication of the devices. For several quarters now, hard work has been going on to launch a Demo Center in Boston, USA. The Center – which is expected to become operational in Q4 2024 – will be an important support for current and future American clients. However, Urs Berger, Managing Director of XTPL Inc., has been actively operating on the American market since the beginning of the year. At the same time, R&D and Product Management Departments are constantly working on the development of our products in individual industrial projects, where commercialization is the main source of the sales growth expected over the Strategy horizon.

Continued implementation of the strategy involves further work in three main areas: sales, production and product development. Accordingly, in the fourth quarter, XTPL plans to launch the second stage of the investment process. The implementation of the second phase will be supported by equity and other sources of funding available to the Company, including debt. The Management Board sustains its opinion about the high commercialization potential of XTPL's technology, as evidenced in particular by progress within all 4 of the most advanced industrial projects. The Company believes that raising about PLN 30 million and completing the investment process for a total of about PLN 60 million will enable it to meet its strategic goal of achieving PLN 100 million in commercial revenues by the end of 2026.

In accordance with its ESPI Current Report (50/2024) of October 17, 2024, the Company's Management Board made a decision to commence steps aimed at raising financing for the Company through an issue of new shares. The share issue proceeds are to be used to finance the second part of capital expenditures as part of the Company's Development Strategy adopted in 2023 geared towards achieving PLN 100 million in revenues from sales of products and services by the end of 2026.

As part of the implementation of the second stage of the Strategy, the Company's Management Board intends to secure further funds of PLN 28–31 million (PLN 26–29 million after deducting issue costs) in order to further strengthen the above key areas for continued business development.

The functional currency and reporting currency of the financial statements is the Polish zloty (PLN), and the data contained in the financial statements are presented in thousands of Polish zlotys.

3.8.2.3 Description of significant accounting principles

3.8.3 Factors and events, including extraordinary ones, having a significant impact on the condensed financial statements

None in the Reporting Period.

3.8.4 Achievement of financial forecasts

The Management Board's position regarding the possibility of achieving the previously published performance forecasts for a given year, in the light of the results presented in the Report in relation to the forecast results, i.e. preliminary estimates of consolidated revenues from the sale of products and services achieved by the Company in Q3 2024, published in ESPI Current Report 49/2024 of October 17, 2024, is as follows: The preliminary data disclosed to the public were substantially in line with the actual data.

3.8.5 Factors which may affect the results in the subsequent quarters

Factors which may affect the Company's and the Group's operations and results in the following quarters:

  • Signing commercial contracts, and progress of work on paid evaluation initiatives, licensing or jointdevelopment agreements in relation to the Issuer's technology;
  • Ability to protect and safeguard intellectual and industrial property, including the number and scope of submitted patent applications;
  • Favorable trends in the electronics industry;
  • Acquiring additional financing in the form of grants and subsidies supporting the Issuer's research and development activities;
  • Economic consequences of the war in Ukraine;
  • Situation in financial markets and development of the coronavirus pandemic.

3.9 OTHER INFORMATION

3.9.1 Impact of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic on the Company's and Group's operations

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and due to administrative constraints, the Company developed a number of procedures that are triggered depending on the risk level. The Company is well prepared for remote work. The XTPL team members are provided with laptops and company phones with internet access. They can use the GSuite apps to smoothly continue work from home. Teamwork tools are also used to ensure work efficiency. Technological work is continued at the Company's headquarters while maintaining all sanitary requirements announced by state institutions.

The procedures do not inhibit business development. XTPL conducts proactive sales support activities, also through a network of distributors. All deliveries and installations of devices at clients' sites are carried out in line with the requirements in force in the target country.

3.9.2 Impact of the war in Ukraine on the Company's and Group's operations

The war in Ukraine did not change XTPL's operating model. The Company has not been affected by any impact of the conflict on the printed electronics market. In addition, the Company:

  • is not dependent on any raw material/ component supplies from the regions of Russia, Belarus or Ukraine;
  • does not conduct sales activities in the above markets. Likewise, the Company's business strategy does not envisage sales to those countries going forward;
  • does not have any on-site or remote collaborators from those countries;
  • is exporter of goods denominated mainly in EUR, so it is not exposed to negative effects of depreciation of the zloty;

● has not received any information from business partners from countries other than those mentioned above about their plans to introduce changes in their business activities that could adversely affect XTPL.

The Company has identified the risk that the war might impact its operations indirectly by affecting the global economy in terms of:

  • reduced availability of raw materials and the related lower availability of materials and components;
  • supply chain difficulties due to limitations in air transport.

The Company and its employees undertook a number of activities to help Ukrainian war refugees:

  • introduced an additional day off per month for volunteering for all employees;
  • published job ads on a portal dedicated to Ukrainian refugees;
  • collected toys and essential items for children from an Ukrainian orphanage who came to Poland;
  • offered accommodation to Ukrainian refugees;
  • sewed clothes for children from Ukraine;
  • helped in sorting donations at local help centers;
  • donated computer equipment to the crisis management center that helps refugees;
  • helped in transporting Ukrainian citizens from the railway station to their place of accommodation;
  • provided material support to Ukrainian soldiers;
  • paid contributions to verified fundraisers.

3.9.3 Agreements that in the future might affect the proportion of shareholdings

In April 2019, the Company adopted an incentive scheme for key employees and collaborators of the Group, including for Management Board Members. The incentive scheme is based on existing series L and P shares and subscription warrants. The scheme might bring about changes in the proportions of shares held by shareholders. As at the Report Date, the scheme participants were granted rights to subscribe for 98,320 subscription warrants, as a result of which they could potentially take up 98,320 shares of the Company. The maximum pool of subscription warrants that can be granted under the scheme is 182,622, which will entitle their holders to take up 182,622 shares of the Issuer.

In addition, on June 28, 2024, the Company introduced an incentive program for members of the Management Board and senior management, which is based on series B subscription warrants and new series W shares. As a result of the implementation of the program, there may be a change in the proportions of shares held by shareholders. The conditional increase in the share capital through the issue of series W shares was recorded in the register of entrepreneurs of the National Court Register on September 30, 2024. The maximum pool of subscription warrants that can be granted under the scheme is 70,500, which will entitle their holders to take up 70,500 shares of the Issuer.

Note 10. Fair value of the individual classes financial assets and liabilities

Abbreviations used:

WwgZK – Measured at amortized cost PZFwgZK – Other liabilities measured at amortised cost WwWGpWF – Financial assets/ liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss

Fair value of financial instruments that the Company held as at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was not materially different from the values presented in the financial statements for the individual years. This is because:

  • with regard to short-term instruments, the potential effect of the discount is not material;
  • the instruments relate to the transactions concluded on market terms.

Bond liabilities were measured at fair value due to the fact that they represent complex financial instruments, as series A registered bonds are convertible into series U shares of the Company. At the initial recognition, the value of the complex financial instrument was assigned to equity and to liabilities.

Note 17. Objectives and rules of financial risk management

The Company is exposed to risk in each area of its operations. With understanding of the threats that originate through the Company's exposure to risk and the rules for managing these threats the Company can run its operations more effectively. Financial risk management includes the processes of identification, assessment, measurement and management of this risk. The main financial risks to which the Company is exposed include:

  • Market risks:
  • The risk of changes in market prices (price risk)
  • The risk of changes in foreign exchange rates (currency risk)

  • The risk of changes in interest rates (interest rate risk)

  • Liquidity risk
  • Credit risk.

The risk management process is supported by appropriate policies, organisational structure and procedures.

MARKET RISK

The Company actively manages the market risk to which it is exposed. The objectives of the market risk management process are to:

  • limit the volatility of pre-tax profit/loss
  • increase the probability of achievement of the budget plan
  • maintain the Company in good financial condition

• support the strategic decision-making process in the area of investment activity, taking into account the sources of investment financing

All market risk management objectives should be considered jointly, and their primarily dependent on the Company's internal situation and market conditions.

PRICE RISK

In the period from January to June 2024, the Company did not invest in any debt instruments and, therefore, is not exposed to any price risk.

CURRENCY RISK

The Company is exposed to currency risk in respect of the transactions it concludes. Such risk arises when the entity makes purchases in currencies other than the valuation currency, mainly in USD and EUR.

Part of the Company's settlements is denominated in foreign currencies. As at September 30, 2024, the Company has assets denominated in foreign currencies, which include trade receivables. The value of the liabilities in foreign currencies as at the balance sheet date relates to trade liabilities. Therefore, there is a risk related to the negative impact of FX changes on the financial results achieved by the Company. In order to mitigate the possible effects of exchange rate fluctuations, the Company monitors the current exchange rates on an ongoing basis.

INTEREST RATE RISK

Deposit transactions are made with institutions with a strong and stable market position. The instruments used – short-term, fixed-rate transactions – ensure full security.

Consequently, the recent interest rate hikes do not affect the Company's operations. In view of the above, the Company did not apply interest rate hedges, considering that interest rate risk is not significant for its business.

LIQUIDITY RISK

The Company monitors the risk of a lack of funds using the periodic liquidity planning tool. This tool takes into account the maturity dates of both investments and financial assets (e.g. accounts receivable, other financial assets) and projected cash flows from operating activities.

The Company seeks to maintain a balance between continuity and flexibility of financing by using different sources of financing, such as finance leases.

The Company is exposed to financing risk due to the possibility that in the future it might not receive sufficient cash to fund commercialization of its research and development projects.

The Company has overdraft agreements for a total amount of PLN 600 thousand:

Santander Bank Polska: limit of PLN 200 thousand

ING Bank Śląski: limit of PLN 400 thousand.

CREDIT RISK

In order to mitigate the credit risk related to cash and cash equivalents deposited in banks, loans granted, deposits paid in respect of rental contracts and performance security as well as trade credit, the Company:

• cooperates with banks and financial institutions with a known financial position and established reputation

• analyzes the financial position of its counterparties based on publicly available data as well as through business intelligence agencies

• in the event of a risk of customer insolvency, the Company secures its proceeds with bank guarantees or corporate guarantees.

Abbreviations used:

WwgZK – Measured at amortized cost

PZFwgZK – Other liabilities measured at amortised cost

WwWGpWF – Financial assets/ liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss

Fair value of financial instruments that the Group held as at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was not materially different from the values presented in the financial statements for the individual years. This is because:

  • with regard to short-term instruments, the potential effect of the discount is not material;
  • the instruments relate to the transactions concluded on market terms.

Bond liabilities were measured at fair value due to the fact that they represent complex financial instruments, as series A registered bonds are convertible into series U shares of the Parent Company. At the initial recognition, the value of the complex financial instrument was assigned to equity and to liabilities.

All market risk management objectives should be considered jointly, and their achievement is primarily dependent on the Group's internal situation and market conditions.

PRICE RISK

In the period from January to September 2024, the Group did not invest in any debt instruments and, therefore, is not exposed to any price risk.

CURRENCY RISK

The Group is exposed to currency risk in respect of the transactions it concludes. Such risk arises when the Group makes purchases in currencies other than the valuation currency, mainly in USD and EUR. Part of the Group's settlements is denominated in foreign currencies. As at September 30, 2024, the Group has assets denominated in foreign currencies, which include trade receivables. The value of the liabilities in foreign currencies as at the balance sheet date relates to trade liabilities. Therefore, there is a risk related to the negative impact of FX changes on the financial results achieved by the Group. In order to mitigate the possible effects of exchange rate fluctuations, the Group monitors the current exchange rates on an ongoing basis.

INTEREST RATE RISK

Deposit transactions are made with institutions with a strong and stable market position. The instruments used – short-term, fixed-rate transactions – ensure full security.

Consequently, the recent interest rate hikes do not affect the Company's operations. In view of the above, the Company did not apply interest rate hedges, considering that interest rate risk is not significant for its business.

LIQUIDITY RISK

The Group monitors the risk of a lack of funds using the periodic liquidity planning tool. This tool takes into account the maturity dates of both investments and financial assets (e.g. accounts receivable, other financial assets) and projected cash flows from operating activities.

The Group seeks to maintain a balance between continuity and flexibility of financing by using different sources of financing, such as finance leases.

The Group is exposed to financing risk due to the possibility that it in the future it will not receive sufficient cash to fund commercialization of its research and development projects.

The Parent Company has overdraft agreements for a total amount of PLN 600 thousand:

Santander Bank Polska: limit of PLN 200 thousand

ING Bank Śląski: limit of PLN 400 thousand.

CREDIT RISK

In order to mitigate the credit risk related to cash and cash equivalents deposited in banks, loans granted, deposits paid in respect of rental contracts and performance security as well as trade credit, the Group:

• cooperates with banks and financial institutions with a known financial position and established reputation

• analyzes the financial position of its counterparties based on publicly available data as well as through business intelligence agencies

• in the event of a risk of customer insolvency, the Group secures its proceeds with bank guarantees or corporate guarantees.
