UPCO INTERNATIONAL INC. NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Expressed in United States dollars) FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2021

1. NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS

Nature and Continuance of Operations

Upco International Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act of British Columbia on March 28, 2012. The Company is listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange (“CSE”) under the trading symbol UPCO.

The Company operates primarily in the telecommunications industries as a global telecom carrier within the international VoIP (voice over IP) wholesale business with a focus on wholesale international long distance traffic termination. The Company has a VoIP smartphone application which allows customers to send and receive local and international long-distance calls through an internet connection with the advantages of the Company’s existing VoIP network (Note 7) .

The Company's head and registered office is located at 1200 – 750 West Pender Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6C 2T8.

Going Concern

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) assuming the Company will continue on a going-concern basis. The Company has incurred losses and negative operating cash flows since inception. The Company incurred a net loss of $337,279 during the period ended June 30, 2021 and has an accumulated deficit of $8,168,366. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern in the long-term depends upon its ability to develop profitable operations and to continue to obtain adequate financing. As at June 30, 2021, Company's ability to continue its operations will depend upon, but not be limited to, obtaining additional financing and generating revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs. These conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

These financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Such adjustments could be material.

COVID-19

Since March 31, 2020, the outbreak of the novel strain of coronavirus, specifically identified as “COVID-19”, has resulted in governments worldwide enacting emergency measures to combat the spread of the virus. These measures, which include the implementation of travel bans, self-imposed quarantine periods and physical distancing, have caused material disruption to business globally resulting in an economic slowdown. Global equity markets have experienced significant volatility. The duration and enduring impact of the COVID-19 outbreak is unknown at this time, as is the efficacy of the government and central bank interventions. It is not possible to reliably estimate the length and severity of these developments and the impact on the financial results and condition of the Company in future periods.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Statement of Compliance

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements, including comparatives, have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) 34 ‘Interim Financial Reporting’ (“IAS 34”) using accounting policies consistent with IFRS issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and Interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”). The accounting policies and methods of computation applied by the Company in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements are the same as those applied in the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020.

UPCO INTERNATIONAL INC. NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Expressed in United States dollars) FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2021

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d…)

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except as detailed in the significant accounting policies disclosed in Note 2. The audited consolidated financial statements were approved by the Company’s Board of Directors on August 27, 2021.

Critical accounting estimates and judgments

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates, and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income, and expenses. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. The preparation of financial statements also requires management to exercise judgment in the process of applying the accounting policies.

Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected. Management uses historical experience and various other factors it believes to be reasonable under the given circumstances, as the basis for its estimates and assumptions. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized prospectively from the period in which the estimates are revised. Actual outcomes may differ from those estimates under different assumptions and conditions.

Estimates and assumptions where there is significant risk of material adjustments to assets and liabilities in future accounting periods include the allowance for doubtful accounts, fair value measurements for financial instruments and the recoverability and measurement of deferred tax assets.

Key areas requiring judgment and estimation uncertainty include:

Going concern

The evaluation of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, to raise additional financing in order to cover its operating expenses and its obligations for the upcoming year requires significant judgment based on past experience and other assumptions including the probability that future events are considered reasonable according to the circumstances.

Valuation of deferred income tax assets and liabilities

A deferred tax asset is recognized for unused losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that future taxable income will be available against which they can be utilized. Detailed estimates are required in evaluating the probability that deferred tax assets will be utilized. The Company's assessment is based on existing tax laws, estimates of future profitability, and tax planning strategies.

Intangible asset

The Company incurs research and development costs. Judgment is required to determine whether or not there exists sufficient information to demonstrate it is probable that the internally developed asset will give rise to future economic benefits. Management’s judgment involves consideration of trends and other factors in determining the expected useful lives of depreciable assets, to determine depreciation methods and the assets residual value. Intangible assets are reviewed by management annually to determine if impairment of the asset is required.

Functional currency

Each entity within the Company has its results measured using the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. Judgment is necessary in assessing each entity’s functional currency. The Company considers the primary and secondary indicators as part of its decision-making process.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d…)

Critical accounting estimates and judgments (cont’d..)

Impairment of Intangible Asset

Management’s judgment involves consideration of trends and other factors in determining the expected useful lives of depreciable assets, to determine depreciation methods and the assets residual value. Intangible assets are reviewed by management annually to determine if impairment of the asset is required.

Expected Credit Loss (“ECL”)

Bad debts are assessed considering current economic conditions and using the expected credit loss model. This model uses historical balances to calculate a loss rate for current, 31-60, 61-90 and 91+ day periods. This loss rate is then adjusted depending on the respective aged period to produce a loss rate which is representative to the receivables risk in their respective periods.

Convertible debentures

Management has made estimates with respect to the effective interest rate applied to the convertible debentures issued (Note 11).

Share-based payments

The fair value of stock options issued with Canadian dollar exercise prices are subject to the limitation of the BlackScholes option pricing model that incorporates market data and involves uncertainty in estimates used by management in the assumptions. Because the Black-Scholes option pricing model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the volatility of share price, changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate.

Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its controlled entity, as follows:

Percentage owned
Jurisdiction of June 30, December 31,
incorporation 2021 2020
Oktacom Inc. New York, USA 100% 100%
Brilliance Inc. Delaware, USA 100% n/a

Inter-company transactions and balances are eliminated upon consolidation.

The strike price of the put option is determined by the VWAP - volume weighted average price during such period. As part of this agreement, the Company issued 14,000,000 common shares in January 2021 raising C$2,120,000.

In January 2021, the Company issued 3,850,000 shares pursuant to the exercise of stock options.

Warrants classified as equity instruments are not subsequently re-measured.

13. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT (cont´d….)

Financial risk factors

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of a loss if a counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. Trade receivables are the most significant financial instrument that is exposed to credit risk. The Company's exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. However, management also considers the demographics of the Company's customer base, including the default risk of the industry, as these factors may have an influence on credit risk.

A credit policy is established under which each new customer is analyzed individually or in groups for creditworthiness and given appropriate credit limits. The Company's review includes agent review, external ratings when available, and in some cases, bank references. Credit limits are established for each customer and these limits are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Customers that fail to meet the Company's creditworthiness benchmark may transact with the Company only on a prepayment basis.

Credit risk associated with cash is minimized significantly by ensuring that these financial instruments are placed with major financial institutions. Credit risk associated with trade and other receivables is mitigated by the Company's large and unrelated customer base and the application of its credit evaluation, control and monitoring processes.

Credit risk with respect to loans receivable is considered on an ongoing basis and the collectability of loans receivable is evaluated on an ongoing basis. The Company works closely with the debtors and considers the amounts collectible.

Liquidity risk

Trade liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Company manages liquidity risk by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and working capital levels. The Company does not currently believe it will encounter difficulty in meeting its obligations associated with its financial liabilities.

The Company manages liquidity risk by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and working capital levels. The following are the contractual maturities of financial liabilities, including estimated interest payments. At June 30, 2021, the Company has cash of $ 1,430,696 to settle current liabilities of $292,090.

Market risk

Market risk is the risk of loss that may arise from changes in market factors such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and commodity and equity prices.

Currency risk

Currency risk is the risk that the fair values of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because they are denominated in currencies that differ from the respective functional currency. The Company's statements are presented in US dollars, but it regularly transacts in EUR and CAD for a portion of its business activities. The value of financial instruments or cash flows associated with the instruments denominated in US dollars will be affected by changes in the exchange rate fluctuations in the market between the EUR/CAD and US dollar.

There has been no change to the Company's exposure to market risks or the manner in which these risks are managed and measured from the prior year.
