LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE MANAGEMENT BOARD

Dear Shareholders,

On behalf of the Management Board of XTPL S.A. and all of its employees, I am pleased to present to you this Quarterly Report summarizing the most important operational aspects and events of the first quarter of 2020.

XTPL's vision is to take our innovative ultra-precise printing technology to the global production lines for the fabrication of modern electronic components. The future integration of XTPL technology with global production lines is to create a significant commercial value for the firm.

The beginning of 2020 saw another technology evaluation agreement signed – in February, we started cooperation with the Chinese Suzhou Cowin Laser Technology Co. Ltd., which launched the process of evaluation of the XTPL technology in the area of open defect repair in displays.

Landmarks in our history are the first commercial orders, which we started to deliver last quarter. This is the result of numerous business talks and laboratory efforts on obtaining high-quality, unique XTPL nanoinks, which are the subject of these transactions. Developed by our in-house R&D unit, the nanoinks have special innovative physicochemical properties which are interesting from the point of view of manufacturers of advanced electronics, and are protected by international patent applications. The first transactions confirm the great potential of the XTPL technology, unlock further commercial opportunities and increase the Company's credibility in the market.

Last quarter, we continued to build the international patent cloud of XTPL solutions. During this period, three new international patent applications were submitted, covering the further scope of IP as part of the Company's unique nanoprinting technology. After the Balance Sheet Date, we submitted two more applications. In total, we have registered 15 applications so far. We are confident that the proper degree of intellectual property protection will favorably position XTPL in negotiations on future commercial contracts, while ensuring security in the commercialization of our unique technology.

It has been more than two months 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. We also use the previously implemented teamwork tools to ensure work efficiency during these unprecedented circumstances. Technological work is continued at the Company's headquarters while maintaining all the standards 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. To sum up, 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 pandemic and the global crisis. We are monitoring the situation on an ongoing basis, remaining in constant contact with our partners.

We wish to keep up the strong momentum in the following quarters. We expect to move to the next stages of commercialization of our technology in the individual processes delivered with our partners. We are already working intensively on establishing new business relations and continued execution of commercial transactions.

I encourage you to read the additional information contained in this report.

Best regards,

Filip Granek, PhD President of the Management Board of XTPL S.A.

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

During the Reporting Period, cooperation was established with a new entity, one of the leaders in the consumer electronics industry. The cooperation relates to open defects repair (ODR) in one of the elements of displays used in mobile devices. The UPD technology developed by XTPL meets all the basic requirements of the client, and next steps in the cooperation process will involve further evaluation of the technology and its implementation.

In addition, the Company successfully completed the first evaluation tests connected with an agreement signed with Suzhou Cowin Laser Technology Co. Ltd. on 28 February 2020. Currently, further advanced work is underway on technology evaluation and so are talks regarding the transition to the next stages of commercialization of XTPL's ODR technology.

Similarly, the first stages of the technology evaluation process for Hefei BOE Joint Technology Co. Ltd. related to the production of a new generation of displays have been completed. Further cooperation steps, including further advanced evaluation work, will be determined once the ongoing talks and negotiations are completed.

Due to a change in the business strategy of one of the clients, cooperation in the area of open defect repair in displays has been put on hold. At the same time, talks are continuing with the same client concerning repair of defects in the production of integrated circuits. Initial analyzes are being conducted to see whether the UPD technology, previously developed for the display industry, can be used for the repairs in question.

XTPL also started cooperation with another entity from the semiconductor industry. It concerns the deposition of a certain class of electronic connections in integrated circuits. The Company's current readiness to start activities in this area has been confirmed by the completed initial Proof of Concept phase.

2.2 Intellectual and industrial property

In the period from January to March 2020, the Company filed three more patent applications with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, covering further layers of intellectual property protection in the field of precise printing. The first two patent applications relate to the method and apparatus for characterizing and optimizing ink flow in the printing head nozzle. This method is generic and can be applied not only to the XTPL technology, but also to other printing techniques. Therefore, both patent applications have a major commercial value. The third patent application is a crucial invention from the viewpoint of applying the XTPL technology in the smart glass sector. It shows how to significantly improve the parameters of transparent conductors.

As at the Report Date, the Company had trademarks registered with the Patent Office of the Republic of Poland and the European Union Intellectual Property Office. In addition, an application for the registration of trademarks was submitted in China. As at the Report Date, the Company submitted 15 patent applications, three of which were submitted during Q1 2020 and two were submitted after the Balance Sheet Date. As at the Report Date, the Company had one patent granted.

2.3 Progress in research and development

During the first quarter of 2020, the Company's R&D department worked on optimizing the printing process using highly concentrated conductive ink based on silver nanoparticles. The new nanoink formulation keeps the physicochemical parameters that are key to the UPD technology, associated with, e.g. high homogeneity of nanoparticle size and the prevention of particle agglomeration during the printing process. At the same time, due to the high concentration, the printed lines have a very high aspect-ratio, i.e. the height-to-width ratio after the printing head has deposited a single layer of ink, i.e. after a single "pass". This is a distinguishing feature of the Company's technology as in order to obtain a similar result by competitive methods it would be necessary to deposit conductive material multiple times at the same point with multiple "passes", thus extending process duration.

A very important advantage of using concentrated ink is the ability to print on non-flat substrates with complex topography. It allows the continuity of the structure to be maintained even if it was printed, for example, on a "step", when the substrate is not homogeneous and its layers are at different height levels. An additional advantage of using the ink in question is the negligible influence of the material on which printing takes place. In practice, this means that whether hydrophobic or hydrophilic material is used for printing, the width and height remain almost unchanged, and so does adhesion. When using inks with a more fluid consistency (inks with a lower viscosity), the shape of the printed features depends largely on the type of substrate on which it was printed. Lower viscosity ink that will be used on a hydrophilic substrate will "spill", increasing the track width compared with what is achieved with same parameters on the hydrophobic material. For the Company, this opens further application areas related to advanced electronic circuits or integrated circuits. The potential for the development of the UPD technology in these markets is consistent 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 Semiconductors (NTRS), which provide for a greater integration of individual electronic circuits into one integrated circuit. The Company's assumption of the uniqueness of the described solution related to the precise deposition of high-concentration material was confirmed by several new technological and business contacts started with entities operating in these markets, as well as the cooperation with the renowned international research institute Fraunhofer ISE (Institute for Solar Energy Systems) .

2.4 Other events

Professor Herbert Wirth appointed to the Supervisory Board

On 9 January 2020, XTPL shareholders appointed Prof. Herbert Wirth, the former CEO of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A., to the company's Supervisory Board. He has considerable experience in business development in global markets and unique competences and a network of contacts which will strategically strengthen the Company's business activities.

Signing a technology evaluation agreement with OSRAM

On 21 January 2020, the Company announced the signing of a technology evaluation agreement with OSRAM Opto Semiconductors Gmbh, a subsidiary of OSRAM – the global lighting group based in Munich, Germany. The purpose of the agreement is to confirm parameters of the technology developed and commercialized by XTPL and to assess the possibility of implementing it in the partner's process of manufacturing new generation products.

Recommendation of MainFirst Bank AG:

In February 2020, the German MainFirst Bank AG from the Stifel Group issued a "BUY" recommendation for XTPL shares. The Stifel Group is particularly strong when it comes to cooperating with technology investors from many countries, including the United States. In Europe, MainFirst services about 700 companies. XTPL is the first company from Poland and Central and Eastern Europe for which the broker published an analysis.

Signing a technology evaluation agreement with Suzhou Cowin Laser Technology Co Ltd

On 28 February 2020, XTPL S.A. and Suzhou Cowin Laser Technology Co Ltd based in China signed a Technology Evaluation Agreement (TEA). The goal of the first, Proof of Concept stage is to confirm the parameters of the technology commercialized by XTPL and to assess the possibility of implementing it in the Chinese partner's production processes. Cowin is a supplier of devices for the production of displays for leading Chinese players in this sector, such as BOE (leader of the global display market, which is working on an independent Proof of Concept project with XTPL); CSOT (display manufacturer based in China, producing LCD panels and developing OLED technology) and Tianma (global display manufacturer operating for over three decades, producing modern LCD displays and new display lines using the AMOLED technology).

Dual listing on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange

On 6 March 2020, the Frankfurt Stock Exchange consented to admit XTPL shares to the Quotation Board segment, which is a part of the Open Market. The Company did not incur any costs related to this operation, as the introduction of its shares to trading resulted from the initiative undertaken independently from the Company, by one of the German institutions responsible for the process of trading shares of selected companies on the German stock exchange ("Spezialist"). In this case it is Baader Bank AG. XTPL shares are traded on a dual-listing basis, with the Warsaw Stock Exchange remaining the Company's main trading floor.

2.5 Events occurring after the balance sheet date

New patent applications

The Company is gradually increasing its competitive edge by filing further patent applications. In May 2020, two more patent applications were submitted, covering further layers of intellectual property protection in the area of precise printing. Both applications were filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. One of the two applications relates to the design of a new printing head used in the Ultra-Precise Deposition (UPD) process. The other application concerns the formulation of high-viscosity ink, compatible with the UPD method. This unique combination of the high-viscosity ink and the printing head that enables its precise deposition (with the width of printed features ranging from 1 to 10 micrometers) makes it possible to print in a very high resolution on complex substrates, including on materials with very different wetting properties, junctions, and vertical steps. With this capability, the UPD technology enables, e.g. rapid prototyping of new generation electronic devices, including organic light-emitting diodes and printed circuit boards.

Achieving further milestones in technology development

XTPL continues to attach great value to the development of its proprietary UPD technology. Two very important milestones were achieved in April–May. The first is the repetitive printing of lines less than 2 µm wide, regardless of the material on which the process is carried out (printing on hydrophobic and hydrophilic materials). This success is particularly important in repairing open defects in nextgeneration high-resolution displays, in which, in addition to the requirement to print very narrow features, the conductive line can pass through various materials of the substrate, which means that regardless of the material used, the line should maintain the same geometrical dimensions.

The second technological milestone achieved is the extension of the replaceable nozzle life to more than two weeks. This printing head element can be easily replaced by the device operator.

Calling the General Meeting for 8 June 2020

On 11 May 2020, the Company announced that as a result of receipt of potential investors' preliminary declarations regarding involvement in financing the Company's operations, as well as taking into account the Company's further development plans and its financial needs, it has decided to start activities aimed at raising new financing for the Company through the issue of new shares and convertible bonds. Bearing this decision in mind, the Company called an Extraordinary General Meeting to be held on 8 June 2020. The EGM agenda primarily provides for adoption of resolutions regarding the issue of shares and convertible bonds. As part of this financing round, the Company plans to raise ca. PLN 5 million. Details regarding the General Meeting and the planned issue are specified in ESPI Current Reports No. 12/2020 and 13/2020.

Calling the Annual General Meeting for 30 June 2020

On 22 May 2020, the Issuer announced that the Company called an Annual General Meeting to be held on 30 June 2020. Details regarding the General Meeting are specified in ESPI Current Report No. 15/2020.

2.6 Factors which may affect the results in the subsequent quarters

In connection with the commenced sales of conductive nanoinks, the Company expects to receive orders from new clients. The results of using the product in other deposition methods may contribute to increasing interest in the product among other users of similar devices. The global crisis associated with the COVID-19 pandemic has also limited access to laboratories at research institutes and at universities of current and potential clients. The current situation reduces the demand for this type of consumables and delays the receipt of results that could otherwise be used to generate further sales. On the other hand, potential clients are more willing to engage in discussions given the need to work from home. This in turn, after things return to normal, can lead to an increase in the number of orders placed.

The Company is developing a plan to launch the UPD technology demonstrator in the following quarters in the form of a laboratory printing device dedicated to academic and corporate R&D departments. Therefore, the Company expects to see an increase in revenues coming not only from the device itself, but also from consumables such as the dedicated conductive nanoink. The marketing of the device as a kind of demonstrator of the technology provided by XTPL is expected to stimulate interest in the entire printed electronics market, unlocking the potential for strategic partnerships in new application areas.

In the following quarters, the ongoing work and talks with representatives of sectors such as displays and smart glass are expected to continue, ultimately resulting in the signing of license and partnership agreements (e.g. joint venture agreements) for the development and commercialization of the UPD technology for use on production lines.

It has been more than two months 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 Gsuite apps to smoothly continue work from home. Company also uses the previously implemented teamwork tools to ensure work efficiency during these unprecedented circumstances. Technological work is continued at the Company's headquarters while maintaining all the standards announced by state institutions. Some technology staff are involved in the development of new grant and patent applications, and therefore also partly work from home.

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.

To sum up, 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. Company is monitoring the situation on an ongoing basis, remaining in constant contact with our partners.

2.7 Description of operations and basic products

In March 2020, the Company finalized its first sales transaction for its nanoink based on sliver nanoparticles. Nanoink is one of the key elements of the XTPL technology, protected by international patent applications. The first delivery took place for one of the partners operating in the display sector, i.e. the first application field commercialized by XTPL. A week after the implementation of the first commercial order, the Company carried out another ink sales transaction with another partner – a group operating in the display sector and several other advanced electronics sectors. The transaction confirmed the partner's significant interest in the Company's technology and unlocked further commercial opportunities. At the end of March 2020, the Company informed about the next (third) sale of ink to another counterparty.

The Company adapts the conductive ink to the requirements of individual deposition methods. One of the key requirements is the acceptable viscosity range acceptable for a particular technology. The product offered attracted interest due to its unique parameters, as well as its top quality and repeatability. With the small size of silver nanoparticles, in the range of 35 to 50 nm, their high stability and high conductivity after the sintering process, the product is attractive for the ongoing development projects in the field of printed electronics.

March 2020 saw the start of sales to science centers. The Company directly contacted the authors of scientific articles in the areas which might show considerable interest in the conductive ink. As a result of these activities, several discussions began and led to another order started late in Q1/ early in Q2.

During the Reporting Period, the Company also began advanced work on creating a technology demonstrator using the UPD technology to conduct research and development and prototyping, as well as to carry out small-scale production. In the following quarters, the device is to be developed and sold to the first clients. At the same time, as a result of previously established business partner relations, the Company has drawn up a preliminary list of the first buyers of the product, whose feedback on use of the final product will help in its improvement.

The Company continues to focus on commercialization of its technology in two application fields. The first one is displays – here XTPL in the first place intends to offer the open defect repair technology for repairing conductive structures whose defects are responsible for dead pixels occurring in displays, particularly in high-resolution matrices, already at the production stage. Next, the Company plans to provide this industry with solutions that will help achieve a significant increase in the resolution of a new class of displays, even on flexible substrates.

The second potential application field for XTPL is the market of smart glass, i.e. glass that changes its transparency in response to electric voltage. For this sector XTPL intends to develop a solution that will significantly shorten the time of conversion from transparent to non-transparent glass, which will significantly improve the usability of such products, and may also usher the industry into new, not yet supported market segments.

In the long run, XTPL intends to develop its solution for subsequent market segments. The Company's technology may be implemented in the semiconductor industry as a sought-after alternative for photolithography and, for example, facilitate the fabrication of innovative anti-counterfeiting solutions, advanced PCBs, functional and effective biosensors and high-performance photovoltaic panels.

2.8 Business model

XTPL is a supplier of advanced UPD technology. 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

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.

In addition, XTPL began direct sale of proprietary products developed on the Company's premises:

CONDUCTIVE INK

In recent years, the Company has developed a unique formulation of conductive ink with a view to achieving the best printing parameters using the UPD technology. Starting from the first quarter of 2020, when the ink based on silver nanoparticles reached its full commercial maturity, XTPL began offering this material also to the clients using other additive methods in their work. As well as introducing a new source of income, the launch of sales of this product will ensure better market exploration, and will introduce the Company to new application areas that are attractive for its proprietary technology.

UPD TECHNOLOGY DEMONSTRATOR

At the beginning of the year, the Company began the process of developing a UPD technology demonstrator for use in prototyping, R&D, and small-scale production. In the following quarters, demonstration devices are to be supplied to trusted business partners for product evaluation and further improvement to reach commercial maturity.

The choice of the optimal business model depends on the specific application field where the Company offers its solution.

2.9 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 was USD 37.1 billion in 2019. In 2030, the market is forecast to grow to USD 74 billion, with a CAGR at 6.5% in 2018–2029. The Company chose the first two 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.

Smart glass sector

Smart glass is designed in such as way as to change transparency in response to electrical voltage. The technology developed by the XTPL allows ultra-thin structures (invisible to the human eye) with high conductivity parameters to be precisely printed on glass. The main benefit expected after potential implementation of the XTPL technology in the production process for this sector is faster conversion of glass from transparent to non-transparent and vice versa, which will significantly improve the usability of this type of products, and will open the door for manufacturers from this sector to new, previously not supported market segments (e.g. automotive).

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.

Recognition of costs related to the valuation of the incentive scheme in the total amount of PLN 1,974 thousand (PLN 395 thousand recognized in the cost of research & development, and PLN 1,579 thousand in general and administrative expenses) has no impact on the Company's assets or financial position, or its 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).

The scheme's costs are 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 Group'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 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 2020, 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 – shortterm, fixed-rate transactions – ensure full security. The Group used no loans in the period from January to March 2020.

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 Group's financial assets and liabilities, whether those assets and liabilities are recognized at fair value or at adjusted purchase price (amortized cost)

In the first quarter of 2020, 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. All the Group's contingent liabilities originated before 31 December 2018.

The change in the value of contingent liabilities in relation 31 December 2019 amounts to PLN 854 thousand. It is caused by the payment of the next two tranches of subsidies totalling PLN 854 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.

CONTINGENT LIABILITIES 31.12.2019 31.12.2019
Promissory notes 7,011 6,157
Total contingent liabilities 7,011 6,157

Note 21. Incentive scheme

In the Reporting Period, in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income the Company recognized the cost the incentive scheme for employees and collaborators based on the Parent Company's shares. The date of recognition of

costs was the moment when the persons covered by the scheme were offered the purchase of the shares. The cost of the scheme (fair value of the shares issued) was estimated at PLN 1,974 thousand and was fully taken to the profit or loss of the current period.

Recognition of the scheme's costs of PLN 1,974 thousand has no impact on the Group's assets or financial position, or its ability to service its obligations. The scheme's costs are 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).

Additional information and approval for publication

Additional information

6.1 General information and basis of preparation

The financial statements of XTPL Group (stand-alone and consolidated financial statements) cover the period of three months ended 31 March 2020, and the comparative data for the period of three months ended 31 March 2019. 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 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 2019 as published on 23 April 2020.

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.
