LETTER FROM THE MANAGEMENT BOARD

Ladies and Gentlemen,

We present to you our financial report for the first quarter of 2021. This was a very busy period for our operating activities. We have achieved further milestones in the Company's development, including by printing ultra-thin, high-density conductive lines, with very small gaps between them, as defined by the Client. A test was performed which confirmed conductivity of those printed structures with no undesired short circuit effect. Another success was the achievement of the expected high repeatability of printed conductive lines on an electrical layer of high-resolution OLED displays. This solution took XTPL significantly closer to commercialization in the segment of repairing manufacturing defects in new generation OLED displays.

At the beginning of the year, we carried out deployment and a series of trainings for a client, finalizing the first commercial order for our Delta Printing System demonstrator, which was installed in a clean-room laboratory at the Institute for Large Area Microelectronics of the University of Stuttgart (Germany).

In the open-defect repair segment, in the period in question we also overcame further technological barriers relating to the repair of displays made in micro-LED technology and the repair of defects in advanced integrated circuits. The technology developed by the Company can solve this problem and increase production efficiency by repairing local defects, which can significantly help popularize new products.

In addition, we completed another sale to a client from Europe, who bought our CL85 nanoink, dedicated to e.g. applications in the LIFT Laser Induced Forward Transfer) technology, which uses a laser beam as the driving force to deposit the material on the substrate. In total, in the reporting period, we delivered three nanoink orders for clients from the United States and Europe.

In the area of nanoinks, having analyzed the market potential and information received from our clients, we decided to expand our product portfolio. Our offer has been enhanced with the IJ36 ink, intended for ink-jet printing technology. It is one of the most common printing methods in the R&D area of printed electronics, as it enables simple and fast prototyping at a relatively low cost and reduced waste.

An important step in the commercialization process was the acquisition of business partners: Bandi Consortia in South Korea and YI XIN Technology in China. By cooperating with these entities we can be more effective in reaching potential clients and promoting our technology and nanoinks. In consequence, this helps us accelerate the next stages of the industrial commercialization process.

In the last quarter of this year, we also strengthened our patent protection. We filed another patent application related to the method of fast printing of micrometric electrically conductive features on complex non-planar substrates. In addition, we started the preparation of further patent applications, which are to be submitted in the current quarter. At present, our patent cloud contains 22 applications and 1 patent granted.

Our efforts and commitment to technology development have been recognized by the market and the industry. As a result, in late 2020/ early 2021, at the International Display Workshop we received an award for the best paper presented at this industry conference. In addition, XTPL was put on the LUX Research list of the world's best innovative companies. LUX Research experts assessed companies in terms

of their technology, business strategy, leadership and market position. The received awards and distinctions are testament not only to the innovative nature of our solutions and products, but also to their effectiveness and the existing market demand. At the same time, they are another building block of the Company's value in the eyes of our current and future clients.

All the activities that we carried out in the first quarter of 2021 allowed us to achieve consolidated revenue of PLN 65 thousand from the sale of our products and services, compared to PLN 39 thousand reported in the same period last year. The consolidated net result was PLN -2,367 thousand, and EBITDA came in at PLN -2,283 thousand. In the first quarter of 2020, those figures were: PLN -3,450 thousand and PLN -3,527 thousand, respectively.

XTPL was very busy throughout the first quarter of this year. We took part in industry events (Innovations in Large-Area Electronics – INNOLAE2021; LOPEC) and conducted a technology webinar, which attracted a lot of interest from experts. The aim of these activities was to promote our technology and innovative nanoprinting solutions among potential customers. Due to the pandemic, these events are held online. After the end of the quarter, we took part in the VIRTUAL ZÜRS investor conference organized by Reiffeisen Bank International. During two days, we presented our development strategy and achievements to eight international institutions, including investment funds. Before the publication of this report, XTPL was also present at the Virtual German Spring Conference, where we met with 11 institutional investors and analysts.

At the same time, to ensure appropriate communication with our Investors and Shareholders, we decided to start cooperation with cc group sp. z o.o, a specialized advisor in this area. This entity has successfully advised many public companies and those planning their IPO on the Warsaw Stock Exchange. With their support, we intend to expand the market awareness of our business, thus building value for our Shareholders.

Finally, we would like to thank everyone who is committed to supporting the development of XTPL: our employees for their day-to-day hard work; Supervisory Board members for their constructive and fruitful cooperation; and our Shareholders, Bondholders and Investors for their trust, support and active interest in our operations. We remain open to dialogue with you, and invite you to join our regular online earnings calls.

2 Management Report

2.1 Summary of activities related to the commercialization of the technology developed:

In the Reporting Period, the Company continued efforts towards new sales of its ultra-precise deposition (UPD) technology demonstrator – XTPL Delta Printing System – a device designed for laboratory use and rapid prototyping. The Company seeks to acquire new partners – scientific and research units and institutes – that can leverage the potential of the Company's technology in their activities. In the period from January to March 2021, more than 50 talks were held with entities willing to purchase the device. In nearly 10 cases, test prints were made on clients' substrates, in accordance with the design. The Company's clients interested in the device include research centers, universities and institutes of technology, as well as representatives of companies from electronics, semiconductor and display sectors. As well as playing a commercial function, the provision of the technology demonstrator is one of the stages of the complex process aimed at selling XTPL technology licenses for industrial applications.

Advanced talks are currently underway with new potential clients interested in purchasing the XTPL Delta Printing System, including esteemed representatives of the scientific community who work on innovative use of the printed electronics technology, as well as R&D departments of the largest global companies from the display, semiconductor, medical, automotive, aerospace and defense industries.

Furthermore, in the Reporting Period the Company maintained its focus on the tasks related to the commercialization of UPD technology in industrial applications. Due to completion of a part of the evaluation tests to check the readiness of the Company's technology for use in repairing open defects in OLED displays, talks are being held with several independent industry players concerning industrial implementation of the Issuer's technology.

In addition, talks were held with industrial entities concerning the use of the UPD technology in the area of repair of displays made in micro-LED technology and the repair of defects in advanced integrated circuits. For both described applications, one of the biggest challenges to further commercialization and to reduction of the unit price of the end product is low production efficiency due to emerging defects, and the lack of a technology solution to deal with those defects. The technology presented by the Company can solve this problem and help increase production efficiency by repairing local defects, thus helping in the popularization of new products (micro-LED displays and more efficient integrated circuits).

With regard to the nanoinks produced and offered by the Company, the Issuer continuously responded to incoming requests for proposals, including from the scientific and industrial communities working on development of new types of electronic devices with the use of additive technologies. In the reporting period, the Company's team prepared 9 sales offers and completed 3 orders for clients from Europe and the United States. Work is currently under way to extend the inks on offer to include new products adapted to other printing technologies, and other products based on metals other than silver. In this area, the Company's team works on development of nanoink formulations with the use of copper nanoparticles.

Copper-based inks are used in the manufacture of, inter alia, printed circuit boards, RFID radio-frequency identification) antennas, LED displays, and photovoltaic modules, and are a cheaper alternative to silver inks.

2.2 Intellectual and industrial property

In the period from January to March 2021, the Company filed one new patent application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, covering further layers of intellectual property protection in the area of printing on non-planar substrates (e.g. steps of several hundred µm or other complex topographies).

After the Balance Sheet Date, in the period from April to May 2021, the Company filed another patent application.

As at the Report Date, the Company has:

  • one patent approved, covering the territory of China, South Korea, Germany and the USA;
  • trademarks registered with the Patent Office of the Republic of Poland and the European Union Intellectual Property Office, as well as in China.
  • 22 patent applications in total.

The Company has adapted its process of filing patent application to the recommendations of the patent offices cooperating with it, an independent patent advisor and the advisors from the executive board of XTPL Inc. based in the United States. The recommendations concern, inter alia, an appropriate combination of new technological solutions and inventions into a single patent application. According to ESPI Current Report No. 45/2020 of 23 November 2020, the Management Board expected that by submitting the applications in the model described above, by the end of 2022 the number of all the Company's applications to date would be 26. As at the date of publication of this Report, the Company's Management Board does not see any risk to achieving this target.

2.3 Achievements and progress in research and development

During the Reporting Period, the Company's R&D department worked on further development of the printing technology using highly concentrated conductive ink based on silver nanoparticles.

Currently, the Company's research is focused on increasing the repeatability and speed of printing connectors on substrates with advanced topography. This is achieved by optimizing printing parameters, modifying the conductive ink, fully automating the printing process, and using a script for automatic movement in 3D. As a result, the time needed to print a single conductive connection on steep edges was reduced to less than 1 second.

Another research area that arouses great interest from industrial players and academic institutions is the possibility of filling gaps in semiconductor structures using selected materials. This applies to both making electronic connections between layers in advanced integrated circuits – TSVs (Through Silicon Vias), as well as filling gaps in insulating layers created at the production stage.

For the Company, this opens further application areas related to advanced electronic circuits or integrated circuits. The use of the UPD technology in these markets fits with the strategy adopted by a group of experts from the semiconductor industry (from the United States, Europe, Japan, China, South Korea and Taiwan) laid down in the documents of the National Technology Roadmap for Devices and Systems (IRDS), which provides for integration of individual electronic circuits into one integrated circuit. The precise deposition of material with a high concentration of nanoparticles started to be used in the Company's several new technological and business streams. This is testament to the uniqueness of the developed solution and its potential to be used in new technologies.

During the reporting period, together with industrial partners, the Company successfully delivered structures printed with the client-proposed material. This means transition from the Proof of Concept stage to the negotiation stage. It also confirms versatility of the Company's technological solution. One example of a successful first evaluation step is the printing using quantum dot ink supplied by an industrial partner. This technique can be used in the industry of high-resolution QD LED displays.

2.4 Other events related to the Issuer's technology

2.4.1 Achieving further milestones in technology development

XTPL attaches great value to the development of its proprietary UPD technology. Q1 2021 saw a number of critical milestones. The first is a test printing of thin, high-density conductive lines on client-supplied substrates and based on the client's design. One of the tasks was to print 5 µm wide conductive lines with a 5 µm gap between them. Furthermore, the proposed pattern consisted of five independent paths. This not only made it possible to measure their conductivity, but ensured there was no short circuit between them. Both tests provided highly competitive results, paving the road to further stages of the talks.

Another, and one of the most important technological milestones is the achievement of a very high degree of repeatability of conductive lines printed on the electrical layer of high-resolution OLED displays. These substrates have very complex topography due to the high number of layered conductive paths manufactured during the production process. The confirmed technological capability of depositing thin (1 µm wide) conductive lines in a repeatable manner increases technological readiness of the Company's solution to repair open defects in electrical structures of new generation OLED displays.

2.4.2 Presentation of the XTPL technology at international industry events

The global situation related to the coronavirus pandemic has affected not only the Company's internal work system, but also the activities outside the organization. The Company attaches great importance to building awareness of the XTPL's precision printing technology and the technology's capabilities among experts in the microelectronics, displays, semiconductors and printed electronics industries.

The Korean partner will officially represent XTPL and strengthen the introduction of the XTPL technology offering into the FPD (flat panel display) and semiconductor industry on the local market.

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

It has been more than a year since the coronavirus outbreak began. At that time, XTPL employees had to come to terms with the new reality, while maintaining work continuity. 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 online apps to smoothly continue work from home. The previously implemented teamwork tools are also used to ensure work efficiency during these unprecedented circumstances. Technological work is continued at the Company's headquarters while maintaining all sanitary requirements announced by state institutions. All contacts and business meetings with partners are held in the form of teleconferences. The planned actions (e.g. shipping the ink to buyers, and preparation and dispatch of samples under the technology evaluation agreements) are continued and are on track. At the same time, the technology and business departments are intensively working on acquiring new customers. So far the cooperation within the Company and with external partners has been running without any major disruptions. It should be noted that the XTPL business model is not based on operations in the sectors most exposed to the adverse impact of the epidemic and the global crisis. The Company is monitoring the situation on an ongoing basis, remaining in constant contact with its partners.

An outbreak of COVID-19 among XTPL employees remains the most serious risk. In this case, due to the specific nature of the operations of the Company's technological departments, it will be necessary to suspend any work that cannot be performed remotely. Therefore, the Company's Management Board introduced a number of safety procedures. For example, it identified employees whose presence at the Company's headquarters is necessary for the performance of laboratory tasks, while the rest were assigned to work from home. Technology workers were divided into two teams with full capacity to perform complex laboratory tasks, and a shift work system was introduced for teams. Furthermore, the Company's Management Board introduced a virus testing procedure for each employee returning from business or leisure travel. Until the result is obtained, each tested employee must work from home.

These procedures are applied depending on the current number of infection cases in Poland. The procedures will be disapplied once all the Company's employees are vaccinated.

Currently, the percentage of the Company's employees who are undergoing the vaccination process (including: people registered for vaccination, those who have taken the first dose or the second dose) is growing fast.

2.8 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.

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 most typical substrate materials, 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.

NANOINKS:

Nanoinks with a unique formulation are one of the elements of XTPL's ultra-precise printing method. The materials developed by the in-house R&D department have dedicated physicochemical properties enabling full utilization of the UPD method's potential. In this way, the Company can develop the additive technology comprehensively, with concurrent work on the ink deposition head and constant adaptation of the deposition material. Most of the inks developed and used by XTPL are based on silver nanoparticles. Other elements are also used, including gold, copper and platinum, as well as quantum dots, for example. Owing to the diversity of materials, XTPL can flexibly respond to the needs of the market and individual clients. The XTPL method can also accommodate many commercially available materials, which may expand the area of its application in the future, giving customers real technological versatility.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 attractive for the ongoing development projects in the field of printed electronics.

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 high-performance 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.

2.9 Business model, strategy and development outlook

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 printers complete with the necessary consumables. A lab printer 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 ink, 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 both of the above-mentioned business models, and the appropriate model is selected during the relationship-building process.

The market the Company wants to reach with its technology is growing rapidly. In 2020, the value of the entire printed, flexible and organic electronics market was estimated at more than USD 37.1 billion. Notably, the value of the market is to reach USD 74 billion by 2030 (source: IdTechEx).

XTPL's strategic goal is wide commercialization of its platform technology of ultra-precise printing of materials in the area of advanced electronics. The company seeks to adapt its technology for various application fields, and then offer the technological solution to industrial partners through various mechanisms: licensing, strategic partnerships and joint ventures. The overarching objective of XTPL's operations is to implement nanoprinting solutions adapted to market needs in selected industry sectors.

DEVELOPMENT DIRECTIONS AND FOCUS AREAS:

An exceptional feature of the XTPL technology is the possibility of its application in many fields of industry. Presented below are applications in the areas that are currently key for the Company:

Displays:

Currently, commercialization is carried out in a subsector of this market, namely the open defect repair. XTPL offers a new breakthrough solution that allows defects in conductive paths to be repaired at low cost, with precision and speed unparalleled to any other existing solution. The technology developed by the Company will help display manufacturers increase production efficiency and reduce costs associated with material losses.

In this area, the Company is conducting active talks (at various levels of advancement) with market leaders. XTPL has reached further levels of advancement in relations with entities from this market:

● Manufacturer of production machines for one of the leaders in the Korean display market – the Company is in talks on integrating a printing module into production machines for the purpose of repairing open defects in screens with a very high pixel density. In December 2020, the Company completed the first stage of technology evaluation on client-provided samples with a very good result. Now talks are underway to discuss details of the cooperation going forward.

● Hefei BOE Joint Technology Co. Ltd. – XTPL continues its cooperation with BOE after completing preliminary experiments to evaluate XTPL' UPD technology for the next generation of displays. Currently, talks are underway to agree details for cooperation going forward and the potential use of the Company's technological solution in the process of manufacturing BOE products.

2.10 Target markets

XTPL intends to commercialize its technology in many segments of the broadly understood printed electronics market. According to IDTechEx, the value of the global market of printed, flexible and organic electronics exceeded USD 41 billion in 2020. In 2030, the market is forecast to grow to USD 74 billion, with a CAGR at 6.1% in 2020–2030.

The Company chose the first three application fields to implement strategic business partnerships commercializing the UPD technology:

Display sector (repairing broken metallic connections in thin-film transistors):

Defects in conductive structures (broken metallic connections) are a serious challenge for manufacturers from many industries. The defects are one of the reasons for dead pixels particularly occurring in high resolution matrices. The technologies for repairing these structure available in the market today have serious limitations, are complicated and costly. The XTPL nanoprinting technology will enable open defect repair already at the production stage, reducing costs, ensuring precision and speed that none of the existing methods can offer.

FHE (flexible hybrid electronic) sector:

Flexible hybrid electronics is another new market that is in the focus of the Company's attention. Companies such as Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Applied Materials and research centers including Dutch Holst Centre, Belgian IMEC and German Fraunhofer have already confirmed their activities in that field. In the United States, Next Flex was formed, an institution bringing together 90 representatives of the industry and 28 representatives of research universities. This is the largest agency investing in the FHE sector. According to an analysis by Mordor Intelligence, the FHE market in 2019 was valued at USD 95 million, but in 2025 it may reach USD 235 million. According to IDTechEx, FHE is expected to become so "ubiquitous" in 2030, with a value of even USD 3 billion.

In addition to the main target markets, the Company plans to start commercialization by providing a laboratory device containing the UPD technology. According to the competitive environment analysis conducted within the Company, there is currently no commercially available additive technology that would offer print parameters comparable to those ensured by the UPD technology developed by XTPL. Firms operating in XTPL's close competitive environment are defined in the 3D Printed Electronics market. This

market is to develop rapidly in subsequent years (with projected CAGR at 27.8% according to Business Wire) and in 2029 it is expected to exceed USD 2 billion (according to IDTechEx).

An important element that fosters development of the electronics market is the growing number of new applications of printed, flexible and organic electronics in various fields. Ultimately, the Company will seek to ensure that its technology can be used in many existing areas of the printed electronics industry and – thanks to the unprecedented precision of printing – will lead to the emergence of new areas within this sector. The Company wishes to develop its technology in such a way that it can be used to manufacture complex and complicated devices with cheap and scalable printing methods.

The new, already identified and pre-verified application areas include:

  • − display market (in addition to the above-mentioned use for open defect repair, the next step is to provide the industry with solutions that will significantly increase the resolution of a new class of displays, improving their output parameters, even on flexible substrates)
  • − semi-conductors market
  • − PCB (printed circuit boards) market
  • − security printing market
  • − biosensors market
  • − photovoltaic cells market.

Fair value of financial instruments that the Company held as at 31 March 2021 and 31 December 2020 was not materially different from the values presented in the financial statements. 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.

ability to service its obligations. The scheme's costs are a non-cash in nature, and reflect the value of shares transferred (net of their purchase price paid by scheme participants). This transaction did not cause any changes in the measurement of assets, the level of equity or the Company's ability to generate revenues in the future. The shares transferred also did not cause additional dilution of the existing stock as they had been issued in the first half of 2017 (and were intended for the incentive scheme).

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 achievement is primarily dependent on the Company's internal situation and market conditions.

PRICE RISK

In the period from January to March 2021, 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 Company makes purchases in currencies other than the valuation currency.

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. The Company used no loans in the period from January to March 2021.

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 it in the future it will not receive sufficient cash to fund commercialisation of its research and development projects.

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 customer's insolvency risk, the Company secures its receipts through bank guarantees or corporate guarantees.

Information on grant recommendation

On 9 April 2021, the Issuer received information about the proposed co-financing under the 6/1.1.1/2020 – "Fast Track" competition of the National Centre for Research and Development ("NCBR") for the Issuer's project "Development of breakthrough printing technology of 3D micrometric conductive structures using an innovative printhead capable of printing on non-planar substrates and compatible ink for printed

electronics applications". The project relates to development and implementation of a new technology for precise printing of ultra-thin conductive structures on 3D substrates for applications in printed electronics.

  • Total Project value: PLN 11,615,569.56;
  • Recommended co-financing value: PLN 7,695,844.09;
  • Implementation period: 01.10.2020 30.09.2023.

Signing a distribution agreement

On 15 April 2021, an agreement was signed between the Issuer and Yi Xin Technology Co. Limited. Under the agreement, Yi Xin will be the distributor of XTPL's technological solutions on the Chinese market. Yi Xin will be also responsible for formal aspects relating to the introduction of XTPL products to the local market, including obtaining the necessary security certificates and attestations required in commercial transactions. The Agreement was signed for 12 months, and depending on its outcomes, the parties might decide to extend their cooperation. The other provisions of the Agreement are in line with market standards.

Established in 2011, Yi Xin specializes in additive technologies and the search for innovative solutions dedicated to the printed electronics segment. It cooperates with major Chinese research institutes and industrial manufacturers from the display, touch panel and semiconductor sectors.

China is one of the largest potential markets for the Issuer's technology and, in the opinion of the Company's Management Board, the distribution agreement will facilitate commercialization of the XTPL technology in that territory.

New patent application

On 18 May 2021, the Issuer submitted a patent application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office relating to the Issuer-developed method of checking geometric parameters of a cartridge.

The cartridge is a key component of XTPL printing system. It is also a nano-ink reservoir and a piece that feeds ink into the printing nozzle. When printing micrometric features using the method developed by XTPL, high precision is required in the process of manufacturing individual printer components, including the cartridge. Proper operation of the cartridge is determined by a number of parameters, including its geometry. For this reason, the XTPL R&D team developed a quick and precise method of checking the cartridge's geometric parameters, and built an appropriate measuring system. This method turned out to be effective and innovative, so Issuer decided to prepare a patent application in this regard. Checking the geometrical parameters of the cartridge by means of this method is one of a series of steps to prepare the cartridge for printing.

An appropriate level of intellectual and industrial property protection (including, in particular, the possession of patents) may be key to the Issuer's competitive advantage. The proper functioning of the cartridge is one of the key aspects of the technology developed by the Issuer.

Change of Audit Committee Chairman

On 26 May 2021, Wiesław Rozłucki resigned as Chairman of the Issuer's Audit Committee due to point 2.9 of the Best Practice for GPW Listed Companies (which will come into force on 1 July 2021): "The chairman of a supervisory board should not combine his function with managing the work of the supervisory board's audit committee".

At the same time, Wiesław Rozłucki remained a member of the Issuer's Audit Committee.

On 26 May 2021, the Supervisory Board appointed Piotr Lembas as the new Chairman of the Audit Committee.

Fair value of financial instruments that the Group held as at 31 March 2021 and 31 December 2020 was not materially different from the values presented in the financial statements for the respective years: – 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.

Note 17. Objectives and rules of financial risk management

The Group 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 Group 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 Group 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 Group 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 Group 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 achievement is primarily dependent on the Group's internal situation and market conditions.

PRICE RISK

In the period from January to March 2021, 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 Company makes purchases in currencies other than the valuation currency.

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. The Group used no loans in the period from January to March 2021.

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.

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 customer's insolvency risk, the Group secures its receipts through bank guarantees or corporate guarantees.

Note 18. Material settlements on account of court cases

At the reporting date there are no court proceedings pending whose value would be considered material. Furthermore, in the period covered by the interim report no material settlements were made on account of court cases.

Note 19. Information about changes in the economic position and operating conditions which might have a material impact on the fair value of the Company's financial assets and liabilities, whether those assets and liabilities are recognized at fair value or at adjusted purchase price (amortized cost)

In the period from 1 January 2021 to 31 March 2021, no significant changes were identified in the economic position or operating conditions which would have a material impact on the fair value of the Group's financial assets and liabilities.

Note 20. Information about changes in contingent liabilities and contingent assets and non-disclosed liabilities arising from contracts in relation to the last reporting period

Contingent liabilities granted by the Parent Company were in the form of promissory notes together with promissory note declarations to secure the contracts for co-financing projects financed by the EU as well as a bank loan agreement.

The change in the value of contingent liabilities in relation 31 December 2020 amounts to PLN 976 thousand. It is caused by the payment of further tranches of grants totalling PLN 624 thousand, and advances towards grants of PLN 352 thousand. At the Balance Sheet Date and until the date of approval of the financial statements for publication, no events occurred that could result in materialisation of the above contingent liabilities. As at the date of approval of the financial statements there were no undisclosed liabilities resulting from any agreements of material value.

Information on grant recommendation

On 9 April 2021, the Issuer received information about the proposed co-financing under the 6/1.1.1/2020 – "Fast Track" competition of the National Centre for Research and Development ("NCBR") for the Issuer's project "Development of breakthrough printing technology of 3D micrometric conductive structures using an innovative printhead capable of printing on non-planar substrates and compatible ink for printed electronics applications". The project relates to development and implementation of a new technology for precise printing of ultra-thin conductive structures on 3D substrates for applications in printed electronics.

  • Total Project value: PLN 11,615,569.56;
  • Recommended co-financing value: PLN 7,695,844.09;
  • Implementation period: 01.10.2020 30.09.2023.

Signing a distribution agreement

On 15 April 2021, an agreement was signed between the Issuer and Yi Xin Technology Co. Limited. Under the agreement, Yi Xin will be the distributor of XTPL's technological solutions on the Chinese market. Yi Xin will be also responsible for formal aspects relating to the introduction of XTPL products to the local market, including obtaining the necessary security certificates and attestations required in commercial transactions. The Agreement was signed for 12 months, and depending on its outcomes, the parties might decide to extend their cooperation. The other provisions of the Agreement are in line with market standards.

Established in 2011, Yi Xin specializes in additive technologies and the search for innovative solutions dedicated to the printed electronics segment. It cooperates with major Chinese research institutes and industrial manufacturers from the display, touch panel and semiconductor sectors.

China is one of the largest potential markets for the Issuer's technology and, in the opinion of the Company's Management Board, the distribution agreement will facilitate commercialization of the XTPL technology in that territory.

New patent application

On 18 May 2021, the Issuer submitted a patent application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office relating to the Issuer-developed method of checking geometric parameters of a cartridge.

The cartridge is a key component of XTPL printing system. It is also a nano-ink reservoir and a piece that feeds ink into the printing nozzle. When printing micrometric features using the method developed by XTPL, high precision is required in the process of manufacturing individual printer components, including the cartridge. Proper operation of the cartridge is determined by a number of parameters, including its geometry. For this reason, the XTPL R&D team developed a quick and precise method of checking the cartridge's geometric parameters, and built an appropriate measuring system. This method turned out to be effective and innovative, so Issuer decided to prepare a patent application in this regard. Checking the geometrical parameters of the cartridge by means of this method is one of a series of steps to prepare the cartridge for printing.

An appropriate level of intellectual and industrial property protection (including, in particular, the possession of patents) may be key to the Issuer's competitive advantage. The proper functioning of the cartridge is one of the key aspects of the technology developed by the XTPL.

Change of Audit Committee Chairman

On 26 May 2021, Wiesław Rozłucki resigned as Chairman of the Issuer's Audit Committee due to point 2.9 of the Best Practice for GPW Listed Companies (which will come into force on 1 July 2021): "The chairman of a supervisory board should not combine his function with managing the work of the supervisory board's audit committee".

At the same time, Wiesław Rozłucki remained a member of the Issuer's Audit Committee.

On 26 May 2021, the Supervisory Board appointed Piotr Lembas as the new Chairman of the Audit Committee.

Additional information and approval for publication

6 Additional information and approval for publication

6.1 General information and basis of preparation

The financial statements of XTPL Group (standalone and consolidated financial statements) cover the period of three months ended 31 March 2021, and the comparative data for the period of three months ended 31 March 2020. 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.

Given the Company's market development stage (the Company yet does not yet generate significant revenues from the sale of products and services, and its activity is financed primarily from equity and subsidies), the ability to continue operations depends to a large extent on the ability to raise further financing to finance subsequent stages of commercialization of the technologies developed by the Company.

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 2020 as published on 27 April 2021.

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.
