DMG Blockchain Solutions Inc. Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements For the Three Months Ended December 31, 2020 (Expressed in Canadian dollars) (Unaudited)

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS

DMG Blockchain Solutions Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated under the provisions of the British Columbia Business Corporations Act on April 18, 2011. The Company’s head office and principal place of business is 795 Highway 395 Christina Lake, British Columbia. The Company’s shares are listed on the TSX-V under the symbol DMGI.

The Company is a vertically integrated blockchain and crypto currency company that manages, operates, and develops end-to-end digital solutions to monetize the blockchain ecosystem. The Company has operated its transaction verification services business, commonly known as Bitcoin mining, in Western Canada since October 2016. The Company is now involved in server hosting and other similar service arrangements for the transaction verification services business and software solutions. The Company is also involved in research and development of technology solutions related to transaction verification services business.

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As at December 31, 2020, the Company has a history of losses, negative cash flows from operations and an accumulated deficit of $34,279,178. The Company’s ability to continue its operations and to realize assets at their carrying values is dependent upon its ability to generate profits and positive cash flows from operations in order to cover its operating costs. These factors indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s strategy to mitigate these risks and uncertainties is to execute a business plan aimed at operational efficiencies, revenue growth, managing operating expenses and working capital requirements. Failure to implement the Company’s business plan could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and/or financial performance. Accordingly, there are material risks and uncertainties that cast significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments or disclosures that would be required if assets are not realized and liabilities and commitments are not settled in the normal course of operations. If the Company is unable to continue as a going concern, then the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities would require revaluation to a liquidation basis, which could differ materially from the values presented in the consolidated financial statements.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

a) Statement of compliance

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, “Interim Financial Reporting” under International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and follow the same accounting policies and methods of application as the Company’s September 30, 2020 annual audited financial statements. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not contain all of the information required for full annual financial statements. Accordingly, they should be read in conjunction with the Company’s most recent annual statements.

b) Basis of consolidation

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and subsidiaries. Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Company. The financial transactions of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date control is obtained. Intercompany balances, transactions, income, and expense are eliminated and gains or losses on intercompany transactions are eliminated. Where the Company does not own 100% of the subsidiary or associate, non-controlling interest is classified as a component of equity. The accounting policies of subsidiaries are the same as those of the Company.

4. USE OF JUDGMENTS AND ESTIMATES

Actual results may differ from these estimates. Management reviews these estimates and underlying assumptions on an ongoing basis, based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Revisions to estimates are adjusted prospectively in the period in which the estimates are revised.

18. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued)

The Company has determined the estimated fair value of its financial instruments, if any, based on appropriate valuation methodologies; however, considerable judgment is required to develop these estimates. The fair values of the Company’s financial instruments, if any, are not materially different from their carrying values.

Financial instruments that are measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair value are grouped in levels 1 to 3 of the fair value hierarchy based on the degree to which inputs used in measuring fair value is observable:

Level 1 – quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2 – inputs other than quoted prices included in level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices); and

Level 3 – inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

(b) Management of Industry and Financial Risk

The Company’s financial instruments are exposed to certain financial risks, which include the following:

Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk of loss due to the counterparty's inability to meet its obligations. The Company has exposure to credit risk through its cash and cash equivalents, amounts receivable and due from related parties. The Company manages credit risk, in respect of cash and short-term investments, by maintaining the majority of cash at highly rated financial institutions.

The Company is exposed to a significant concentration of credit risk with respect to its trade accounts receivable balance because of its dependence on three major customers. The Company decreased its exposure to concentration of credit by increasing the number of customers. The Company records an allowance against its trade receivables when there is uncertainty over collection of this amount. All balances due are expected to be settled partially or in full when due (typically within 60 days of submission) and because of the nature of the counterparties.

The Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk at the end of any period is equal to the carrying amount of these financial assets as recorded in the consolidated statement of financial position. At December 31, 2020, no amounts were held as collateral.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulties in meeting obligations when they become due. The Company ensures that there is sufficient capital in order to meet short-term operating requirements, after taking into account the Company’s holdings of cash. The Company’s cash is held in corporate bank accounts available on demand. Liquidity risk is assessed as being high.

Market Risk

Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: currency risk, interest rate risk and price risk. These are discussed further below.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company is not exposed to significant interest rate risk relating to its loans payable and accounts payable. The interest rate on the loans payable is fixed, and the accounts payable are not subject to any interest. A 10% change in the interest rate would not a result in a material impact on the Company’s operations.

Foreign Currency Risk

Currency risk relates to the risk that the fair values or future cash flows of the Company’s financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. In addition, the Company mines Bitcoin which have a market value stated in US dollars. Exchange rate fluctuations affect the costs that the Company incurs in its operations.

DMG Blockchain Solutions Inc. Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements For the Three Months Ended December 31, 2020 (Expressed in Canadian dollars) (Unaudited)

18. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued)

The Company’s presentation currency is the Canadian dollar and major purchases are transacted in US dollars. As the Company operates in an international environment, some of the Company’s financial instruments and transactions are denominated in currencies other than the entity’s functional currency. The fluctuation in foreign currencies in relation to the Canadian dollar will consequently impact the profitability of the Company and may also affect the value of the Company’s assets and liabilities and the amount of shareholders’ equity. At December 31, 2020, the Company held net financial liabilities of $702,944 denominated in US dollars (US$551,761). A 10% change in the foreign exchange rate would result in a change in the net loss for the period of approximately $70,000.

Price Risk

Price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market prices, other than those arising from interest rate risk or foreign currency risk. The Company is not exposed to any significant price risks with respect to its financial instruments.

19. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

a) Legal proceedings

During the year ended September 30, 2019, a former director of the Company initiated a lawsuit against the Company. The former director claims that he is owed finder’s fees and expense reimbursements from the Company for services rendered and expenses incurred in prior years. In the opinion of management, an outcome of the claim and any amounts payable by the Company cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

On July 25, 2019, two of the Company’s founding directors were named as defendants in a petition filed in the Supreme Court of British Columbia (the “Court”). A former director of the Company is seeking a declaration that the affairs of the Company have been conducted, or that the powers of the two founding directors as directors are being or have been exercised in a manner that is oppressive, or alternatively that is unfairly prejudicial, to the shareholders. The petition is seeking an order from the Court to remove the two directors as directors and officers of the Company and to be replaced with two former directors. In the opinion of management, an outcome of the petition and any amounts payable by the Company cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

In the normal conduct of operations, there are other pending claims by and against the Company. Litigation is subject to many uncertainties, and the outcome of individual matters is not predictable with assurance. In the opinion of management, based on the advice and information provided by its legal counsel, the final determination of these other litigations will not materially affect the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

b) Contract commitments

On September 30, 2018, the Company entered into an agreement with IBM Canada Ltd. to develop a global cannabis supply chain platform. The Company is committed to spend $10,000,000 on development activities over a three-year period. If the Company terminates the agreement prior to its three-year anniversary, the Company will owe IBM Canada a payment equal to five percent of the outstanding committed spend which amounts to $350,900. As at December 31, 2020, the Company has incurred cumulative fees of $2,981,615 since inception of the project. These costs are expensed as research costs. No additional costs were incurred during the three month period ended December 31, 2020. As at December 31, 2020, the Company has $2,048,315 payable to IBM Canada and included in trade and other payables.
