1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN
FendX Technologies Inc. ("FendX" or the "Company") was incorporated under the British Columbia Business Corporations Act. The Company was incorporated as 1259192 B.C. Ltd. on July 28, 2020 and subsequently changed its name to FendX Technologies Inc. on September 18, 2020. The Company's head office is located at 2010 Winston Park Drive, 2 nd Floor, Oakville, Ontario, L6H 5R7. On March 20, 2023 the Company's common shares were listed and commenced trading on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the "CSE") under the symbol "FNDX". The Company's common shares commenced trading on the OTCQB Venture Market on May 30, 2023 under the symbol "FDXTF" and commenced trading on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange on May 31, 2023 under the symbol "E8D".
The Company was formed to advance a platform technology that was licensed from McMaster University ("McMaster") of Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, pursuant to a License Agreement (as herein defined) effective February 5, 2021 (Note 6). The Company has expanded its technology portfolio with the addition of a spray formulation licensed from McMaster pursuant to a Spray License Agreement effective May 16, 2023 (Note 6). The Company is a development-stage nanotechnology company focused on developing surface-protection coatings that repel certain pathogens.
These unaudited condensed interim financial statements have been prepared under the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern. The going concern basis of presentation assumes that the Company will be able to meet its obligations and continue its operations for the foreseeable future and be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.
As of June 30, 2023, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $4,996,799 (December 31, 2022 - $3,359,705) and working capital of $1,815,546 (December 31, 2022 – working capital deficit of $697,723). The Company's operations are dependent on obtaining additional financing to further develop its technology and generating cash flow from operations in the future. These factors form a material uncertainty, which may raise significant doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans to meet the Company's current and future obligations may include raising capital through the issuance of equity and debt securities, relying on the financial support of its shareholders and related parties and cashflow from operations if the Company is successful in commercially launching its technology. There is no assurance that additional funding will be available on a timely basis or on terms acceptable to the Company. These unaudited condensed interim financial statements do not give effect to any adjustments that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern, and therefore, be required to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in other than the normal course of business. Such adjustments can be material.
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
[a] Statement of compliance
These unaudited condensed interim financial statements, including comparatives, have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), as applicable to interim financial reports, including International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting. These condensed interim financial statements do not include all the information and note disclosures required by IFRS for annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company's
NOTES TO CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the six month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 (Unaudited, Expressed in Canadian dollars)
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION (CONTINUED)
[a] Statement of compliance (continued)
financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 ("Annual Financial Statements"), which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS.
[b] Basis of measurement
These unaudited condensed interim financial statements have been prepared on an accrual basis and are based on historical costs, modified where applicable.
[c] Functional and foreign currency
These unaudited condensed interim financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the Company's functional currency. Foreign currency transactions are translated into Canadian dollars using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Foreign exchange gains or losses resulting from the settlement of transactions and from the translation at year-end rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in net income or loss.
[d] Significant accounting estimates and judgments
The preparation of these unaudited condensed interim financial statements requires management to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual outcomes could differ from these estimates. These unaudited condensed interim financial statements include estimates that, by their nature, are uncertain. The impacts of such estimates may be pervasive throughout the financial statements and may require accounting adjustments based on future occurrences. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. These estimates are based on historical experience, current and future economic conditions, and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The Company reviews its estimates and underlying assumptions on an ongoing basis.
Critical judgments
The following are critical judgments that management has made in the process of applying accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements:
i. Research costs and license costs are recognized as an expense when incurred, but development costs may be capitalized as intangible assets if certain conditions are met, as described in International Accounting Standard ("IAS") 38 Intangible Assets. Management has determined that development costs do not meet the conditions for capitalization under IAS 38, and all research and development costs and license costs have been expensed.

For the six month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 (Unaudited, Expressed in Canadian dollars)
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION (CONTINUED)
- [d] Significant accounting estimates and judgments (continued)
- ii. Management is required to determine whether the going concern assumption is appropriate for the Company at the end of each reporting period. Considerations taken into account include available information about the future, including the availability of financing and revenue projection, as well as the current working capital balance and future commitments of the Company.
Estimation uncertainty
The following are key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year:
- i. Provisions for income taxes are made using the best estimate of the amount expected to be paid based on a qualitative assessment of all relevant factors. The Company reviews the adequacy of these provisions at the end of the reporting period. However, it is possible that at some future date an additional liability could result from audits by taxation authorities. Where the final outcome of these tax-related matters is different from the amounts that were originally recorded, such differences will affect the tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.
- ii. The fair value of accrued liabilities at the time of initial recognition is made using the best estimate of the amount expected to be paid based on a qualitative assessment of all relevant factors.
- [e] Comparative Figures
Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to current period's presentation.
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The significant account policies applied in the presentation of these condensed interim financial statements have been applied to all periods presented. Please refer to the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 for a full list of policies.
4. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash and cash equivalents include cash held in non-interest and interest bearing bank accounts which earn variable interest and highly liquid investments held in the form of cashable guaranteed investment certificates ("GICs") with investment terms that allow for penalty free redemption after one month and are held with Canadian chartered banks. GICs are variable rate interest GICs.

Fair Value
The Company's financial instruments at June 30, 2023 include cash and cash equivalents, sales tax receivable and accounts payable. The fair values of these instruments approximate their carrying values due to their short-term nature.
IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement establishes a fair value hierarchy for financial instruments measured at fair value that reflects the significance of inputs used in making fair value measurements as follows:
- Level 1 quoted prices 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., from derived prices); and
- Level 3 inputs for the asset or liability that are not based upon observable market data.
The fair value of cash is based on Level 1 inputs. The carrying values of sales tax receivable and accounts payable approximate their respective fair values due to the short-term nature of these investments.
[a] Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of a financial loss to the Company if a counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. Credit risk arises for the Company from its cash and sales tax receivable.
