1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN

NameSilo Technologies Corp. (the "Company") is a publicly listed company incorporated in Canada with limited liability under the legislation of the Province of British Columbia. On December 3, 2018, the Company changed its name from Brisio Innovations Inc. to NameSilo Technologies Corp. The Company's shares are listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange ("CSE"). The head office and principal address is 409 Granville Street, Suite 1052, Vancouver, BC, Canada, V6C 1T2. The Company is a provider of domain name registration services and marketplace services for the buying and selling of domain names.

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assumes that the Company will be able to continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.

For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company had a net loss of $3,832,868, a working capital deficit of $6,721,338 and an accumulated deficit of $26,551,476. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon generating positive cash flows from operations, earning sufficient returns on its investments, and upon obtaining additional financing. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted at this time. In March 2020 there was a global pandemic outbreak of COVID-19. The actual and threatened spread of the virus globally has had a material adverse effect on the global economy and specifically, the regional economies in which the Company operates. The pandemic could result in delays in the course of business and continue to have a negative impact on the stock market, including trading prices of the Company's shares and its ability to raise new capital. These material uncertainties lend significant doubt as to the ability of the Company to meet its obligations as they come due, and accordingly, the appropriateness of the use of accounting principles applicable to a going concern. These condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in business.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION

(a) Statement of compliance

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting. They do not include all the information required for full annual financial statements.

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on May 31, 2021.

(Unaudited – Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

(b) Basis of consolidation

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and the following subsidiaries subject to control by the Company:

Percentage owned
Incorporated in Mar31, 2021 Dec 31, 2020
Netco Argentina S.A. Argentina 100% 100%
1155064 BC Ltd. Canada 100% 100%
NameSilo, LLC("NameSilo LLC") USA 81.5% 81.5%
NamePal.com, LLC("NamePal") USA 81.5% 81.5%

Control is achieved when the Company has the power to, directly or indirectly, govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is obtained and continue to be consolidated until the date that such control ceases. Intercompany balances and transactions, and any unrealized income and expenses arising from intercompany transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements.

(c) Functional and presentation currency

The functional currency of a company is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates. The presentation currency for a company is the currency in which the Company chooses to present its financial statements.

The functional currency of the Company, Netco Argentina S.A. and 1155064 BC Ltd. is the Canadian dollar. The functional currency of NameSilo LLC and NamePal is the US dollar. The presentation currency of the Company is the Canadian dollar.

Entities whose functional currencies differ from the presentation currency are translated into Canadian dollars as follows: assets and liabilities – at the closing rate as at the reporting date, and income and expenses – at the average rate of the period. All resulting changes are recognized in other comprehensive income as cumulative translation differences.

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at exchange rates at the date of the transactions. Foreign currency differences arising on translation are recognized in profit or loss. Foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the functional currency exchange rate at the reporting date. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using exchange rates as at the dates of the initial transactions. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value is determined. All gains and losses on translation of these foreign currency transactions are included in profit or loss.

When the Company disposes of its entire interest in a foreign operation, or loses control, joint control, or significant influence over a foreign operation, the foreign currency gains or losses accumulated in other comprehensive income related to the foreign operation are recognized in profit or loss. If an entity disposes of part of an interest in a foreign operation which remains a subsidiary, a proportionate amount of foreign currency gains or losses accumulated in other comprehensive income related to the subsidiary are reallocated between controlling and noncontrolling interests.

(Unaudited – Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

(d) Basis of measurement

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for financial instruments that are measured at their fair value.

In addition, these condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information.

(e) Use of estimates and judgments

The preparation of financial statements in compliance with IFRS requires management to make certain judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from these estimates and assumptions.

The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future years affected.

Significant accounting estimates:

  • a. The judgment of indications of impairment of each asset and related determination of the net realizable value and write-down of these assets where applicable;
  • b. The tax basis of assets and liabilities and related deferred income tax assets and liabilities; and
  • c. The inputs used in determining the valuation of share purchase warrants owned by the Company.

Significant accounting judgments:

  • a. The determination of categories of financial assets and financial liabilities has been identified as an accounting policy which involves judgments or assessments made by management;
  • b. The Company has used judgment in determining the currency of the primary economic environment in which each entity operates. In making such determination, the management has considered the currency that mainly influences the sale prices and the cost of providing goods and services in each jurisdiction in which the Company operates. The Company also considered secondary indicators including the currency in which funds from financing activities are denominated and the currency in which funds are retained;
  • c. There is currently no specific definitive guidance in IFRS or alternative accounting frameworks for the accounting for digital currencies and management has exercised significant judgement in determining appropriate accounting treatment. In making this determination on the accounting for the digital currencies the Company has reviewed the sources and uses of the digital currencies in the operations of its business. In the event

Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020

(Unaudited – Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

authoritative guidance is enacted by the IASB, the Company may be required to change its policies which could result in a change in the Company's financial position and earnings; and

d. The going concern risk assessment (see note 1).

3. ACQUISITION OF NAMESILO LLC

On August 1, 2018, the Company completed the acquisition of NameSilo LLC, whereby the Company has acquired all of the issued and outstanding securities of NameSilo LLC on terms as follows:

  • USD$9,511,500 (CAD$12,422,300) was paid in cash on closing; and
  • An earn-out payment of USD$2,499,047 was satisfied by USD$2,360,743 (CAD$3,072,978) in cash and 529,499 common shares of the Company.

The transaction was accounted for as a business combination, as the operations of NameSilo LLC meet the definition of a business. As the transaction was accounted for as a business combination, transaction costs of $39,089 were expensed. The goodwill resulting from the allocation of the purchase price to the total fair value of net assets represented the sales and growth potential of NameSilo LLC and is allocated in its entirety to NameSilo LLC. The Company has allocated the purchase price as follows:

$
Cash 15,495,278
529,499common shares of the Company 180,030
Fair value of consideration 15,675,308
Cash 274,443
Digital currency 129,376
Registry deposits 2,753,158
Prepaid domain name registry fees 12,985,026
Brand 860,424
Customer relationships (not deductible for tax purposes) 8,585,984
Goodwill (not deductible for tax purposes) 8,273,678
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities (344,283)
Customer deposits (819,628)
Deferred revenue (14,899,797)
Deferred income tax liability (2,123,073)
15,675,308

The fair value of the 529,499 common shares issued ($180,030) was determined based on the fair value of the Company's shares immediately prior to the completion of the acquisition.

In August 2018, the Company entered into a share purchase agreement with 1161217 B.C. Ltd. (the "Digital Service Company") and the shareholders of the Digital Service Company. In consideration of the Digital Service Company, the Company has transferred 18.5% of the member interest of NameSilo LLC to the shareholders of the Digital Service Company. The value of the 18.5% of the member interest of NameSilo LLC was determined to be $2,899,932 and is accounted for as a non-controlling interest.

(Unaudited – Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

4. ACQUISITION OF NAMEPAL.COM LLC

On January 3, 2019, the Company acquired NamePal pursuant to the terms of a share purchase agreement ("Purchase Agreement") among NameSilo LLC, Kristaps Ronka ("Ronka"), a director of the Company, and Market Plaza International LLC (the "Vendor"). NamePal is an ICANN domain name registrar and provider of domain registration, web hosting, email and SSL services.

Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, NameSilo LLC acquired 100% of the membership interest in NamePal and, in consideration of which, Ronka has agreed to transfer up to a 1.75% interest in NameSilo LLC to the Vendor as follows: (i) 0.5% of the membership interest within six months of closing, (ii) 0.5% of the membership interest within twelve months of closing, and (iii) 0.75% of the membership interest within eighteen months of closing. NameSilo LLC has also agreed to retain the principals and existing staff of NamePal in order to integrate value added services and expand the NameSilo LLC offering.

The value of the 1.75% of the member interest of NameSilo LLC was determined to be $284,811 and is accounted for as a share based payment and charged to profit or loss over the vesting period of 18 months.

5. DIGITAL CURRENCY

The Company holds 2 bitcoins with a fair value of $124,493 (USD$99,000) as at March 31, 2021 (December 31, 2020 – 2 bitcoins with a fair value of $73,179 (USD$57,477)).

The digital currency market is still a new market and is highly volatile; historical prices are not necessarily indicative of future value; a significant change in the market prices or lack of an active market for the digital currencies would have a significant impact on the Company's other comprehensive income and financial position. The Company uses Blockchain.info as the exchange to transact in bitcoin and bitcoin cash.

The Company performs a goodwill impairment test annually and when circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The recoverable amount of the CGU was based on value in use, determined by discounting the future cash flows to be generated from the continuing use of the CGU. The cash flows were projected over a five-year period based on past experience and actual operating results. The Company performed its annual goodwill impairment test in April 2021 and no impairment was indicated for the period tested. The values assigned to the key assumptions represented management's assessment of future trends in the industry and were based on historical data from both internal and external sources. The key assumptions applied in the impairment test include a weighted average cost of capital of 15%, average revenue growth rate of 8% per year and terminal value growth rate of 5%.

11. ACCOUNTS PAYABLE AND ACCRUED LIABILITIES

The Company is subject to indirect taxation in some, but not all, of the various states and foreign jurisdictions in which the Company conducts business. Laws and regulations attempting to subject communications and commerce conducted over the internet to various indirect taxes are becoming more prevalent, both in Canada and internationally, and may impose additional burdens on the Company in the future. Taxing authorities may impose indirect taxes on the internet-related revenue generated by the Company based on regulations currently being applied to similar, but not directly comparable, industries. There are many transactions and calculations where the ultimate indirect tax determination is uncertain. In addition, Canadian and international indirect taxation laws are complex and subject to change. The Company may be audited in the future, which could result in changes to the indirect tax estimates.

As at March 31, 2021, an accrual for estimated indirect tax liabilities of $803,883 (December 31, 2020 – $813,920) has been included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. This accrual reflects management's best estimate of the probable liability based on an analysis of the Company's business activities, revenues subject to indirect taxes and applicable regulations. Although the Company believes its indirect tax estimates and associated liabilities are reasonable, the final determination of indirect tax audits or settlements could be materially different than the amounts established for indirect tax contingencies.

12. DEFERRED REVENUE

Deferred revenue consists of the following as at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020:

13. LOANS PAYABLE

On May 1, 2018, the Company received a bridge loan financing in the principal amount of $5,000,000. The loan bore interest at a rate of 8% per annum and was due on November 1, 2018. On June 21, 2018, the Company entered into an amended loan agreement which extended the maturity date to June 21, 2019.

On June 21, 2018, the Company received another bridge loan financing in the principal amount of $6,347,916 (USD$4,770,000). The loans bore interest at a rate of 8% per annum and were due on June 21, 2019.

As an incentive for the lenders entering into the loan agreements, the Company issued as a bonus a total of 3,750,000 common shares to the lenders. The fair value of the common shares issued ($1,312,500) was recorded as transaction costs against the value of the loans payable and amortized over the term of the loans.

On June 17, 2019, the Company entered into amended loan agreements to restructure the loans. As a result of the restructuring, the Company repaid $1,293,978 of the principal and the maturity date of the loans was extended to December 17, 2020. The Company was then indebted to the lenders in the principal amount of $4,430,000, USD$2,115,000, and USD$2,115,000 respectively. Each loan bears interest at a rate of 11% per annum which is payable quarterly. The Company was required to pay 25% of each loan by July 17, 2020 and the balance by December 17, 2020. The loans remain unsecured and are pre-payable at any time without penalties.

On July 17, 2020, the Company entered into the First Extension and Amendments to Loan Agreements to further amend the loans. As a result of the amendments, the Company paid total extension fee of $50,000, repaid $650,000 of the principal plus interest, and the first payment date of July 17, 2020 was first extended to September 17, 2020 and later extended to September 23,

2020 pursuant to the Second Extension and Amendments to Loan Agreements. The Company has also granted to the lenders a first-ranking security interest over all of the present and after-acquired assets of the Company. The security interest provided to the lenders will cease once the Company has fully paid the loans.

On December 17, 2020, the Company entered into the Third Extension and Agreements to Loan Agreements, which extended the maturity date of the loan to February 15, 2021. The maturity date was extended again to March 1, 2021 pursuant to the Fourth Extension Letter signed on February 15, 2021. On April 6, 2021, the Company entered into the Fifth Extension and Agreements to Loan Agreements, which further extended the maturity date to June 10, 2021.

14. CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURE

On May 2, 2018, the Company issued a convertible debenture in the principal amount of $300,000. The debentures were secured on the assets of the Company, bore interest at a rate of 10% per annum, payable semi-annually and due eighteen months after closing. The debenture was convertible into common shares of the Company at a price of $0.50 per share. Further, the holder received a total of 300,000 detachable share purchase warrants. The warrants were exercisable at a price of $0.65 per share for a period of eighteen months from the date of issue.

For accounting purposes, the convertible debenture was separated into liability and equity components. The fair value of the liability component was calculated as the discounted cash flows for the convertible debenture assuming a 15% effective interest rate which was the estimated rate for convertible debentures without a conversion feature. The fair value of the equity component (conversion feature) was determined as the difference between the face value of the convertible debenture and the fair value of the liability component.

The fair value of the share purchase warrants was estimated to be $30,399 based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The following assumptions were used for the fair value determination of the warrants: dividend yield of 0%, expected volatility of 100.8%, a risk- free interest rate of 0.73% and an expected life of 1.5 years. The fair value of the share purchase warrants was allocated between the liability and equity components of the convertible debenture on a pro rata basis.

During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recorded interest expense of $15,403 on the convertible debenture.

On September 30, 2020, the remaining convertible debenture balance of $170,000 plus accrued interest of $60,526 was settled with 1,152,630 units of the Company at a price of $0.20 per unit. Each unit consists of one common share and one-half of one share purchase warrant. Each share

purchase warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one additional share of the Company at a price of $0.30 per share for a period of two years from the date of issue.

Each whole Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one additional share of the Company at a price of $0.30 per share for a period of two years from the date of issue. The Company paid finder's fee of $281,427, incurred issue costs of $23,972, and issued a total of 945,660 finders warrants. Each finder's warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one additional common share at a price of $0.30 per share for a period of two years from the date of issue.

The fair value of the finders warrants was determined to be $76,438 and estimated on the date of issue using the Black-Scholes option valuation model with the following weighted average assumptions: dividend yield of $nil, risk free interest rate of 0.23%, expected life of 2 years and expected volatility of 67%.

On October 8, 2020, the Company entered into debt settlement agreements with certain creditors of the Company, including two directors and officers of the Company.

18. DETERMINATION OF FAIR VALUES

The Company's financial assets were classified into the following categories:

  • FVTPL Cash and cash equivalents, investments and convertible debenture
  • FVOCI None
  • Amortized Cost Receivables

Estimates of the fair value of financial instruments are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant information about financial markets and specific financial instruments. As these estimates are subjective in nature, involving uncertainties and matters of significant judgement, they cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions can significantly affect estimated fair values.

At March 31, 2021, the Company's financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, receivables, investments, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and loans payable. Receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and loans payable are recognized on the consolidated statement of financial position at their carrying values which approximated their fair value due to their short-term nature.

All financial instruments measured at fair value are categorized into a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

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).

The following table sets forth the Company's financial assets measured at fair value by level within the fair value hierarchy.
