(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
1. General Information
Axcap Ventures Inc. (“AVI” or “Axcap” or the “Company”) was incorporated on February 20, 1987 under the Business Corporation Act (Ontario). Axcap’s principal business activity is focused on investing in various industries, including life sciences, mining and exploration, industrial, and technology which involves a high degree of risk and there can be no assurance that current investment programs will result in profitable operations. These condensed interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business rather than through a process of forced liquidation.
Axcap is a public company which is listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange (“CSE”) under the symbol “AXCP”. The Company's head office is 1030 West Georgia Street, Suite 1507, Vancouver, BC, V6E 2Y3, and registered and records office is located 1055 W. Georgia Street, Suite 1500, PO Box 11117, Vancouver, BC, V6E 4N7.
2. Going Concern
These condensed interim financial statements have been prepared by management on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the payment of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. Should the Company be unable to continue as going concern, it may be unable to realize the carrying value of its assets and to meet its liabilities as they become due.
For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $29,497,841 (December 31, 2023 - $29,002,964). The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to achieve and maintain profitable operations and to generate funds therefrom or obtain additional financing. There is a risk that additional financing may not be available on a timely basis or on terms acceptable to the Company. These matters constitute material uncertainties that cast significant doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
These condensed interim financial statements do not reflect the adjustments to the carrying value of assets and liabilities and the reported expenses and statement of financial position classifications that would be necessary were the going concern assumption inappropriate. These adjustments could be material.
3. Basis of Preparation
a. Statement of Compliance
These condensed interim financial statements, including comparatives, have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” (“IAS 34”) using accounting policies consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Issues Committed (“IFRIC”). Accordingly, these condensed interim financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by IFRS for complete financial statements for year-end reporting process.
These condensed interim financial statements follow the same accounting policies and methods of application the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023. The policies applied in these condensed interim financial statements are based on IFRS issued as of November 1, 2024, the date the Board of Directors approved the financial statements. These condensed interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023.
These financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, modified where applicable. In addition, these financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting except for cash flow information.

3. Basis of Preparation (Continued)
a. Functional and Presentation Currency
These condensed interim financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars. The functional currency of the Company is measured using the principal currency of the primary economic environment in which each entity operates. The functional currency of the Canadian entity is in Canadian dollars.
4. Material Accounting Policies
(i) Financial Instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.
Classification
The Company classifies its financial instruments in the following categories: at fair value through profit and loss (“FVTPL”), at fair value through other comprehensive income (loss) (“FVTOCI”), or at amortized cost. The Company determines the classification of financial assets at initial recognition. The classification of debt instruments is driven by the Company’s business model for managing the financial assets and their contractual cash flow characteristics. Equity instruments that are held for trading are classified as FVTPL. For other equity instruments, on the day of acquisition the Company can make an irrevocable election (on an instrument-by-instrument basis) to designate them as at FVTOCL. Financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost, unless they are required to be measured at FVTPL (such as instruments held for trading or derivatives) or the Company has opted to measure them at FVTPL.
Measurement
Financial assets and liabilities at amortized cost
Financial assets and liabilities at amortized cost are initially recognized at fair value plus or minus transaction costs, respectively, and subsequently carried at amortized cost less any impairment. An expected credit loss (ECL) allowance is recognized for financial assets measured at amortized cost and for investments in debt instruments measured at FVOCI. The Company does not have any financial assets that require an ECL allowance.
Financial assets and liabilities at FVTPL
Financial assets and liabilities carried at FVTPL are initially recorded at fair value and transaction costs are expensed in profit or loss. Realized and unrealized gain and losses arising from changes in the fair value of the financial assets and liabilities held at FVTPL are included in the statements of loss and comprehensive loss in the period in which they arise.
Impairment of financial assets at amortized cost
An ‘expected credit loss’ impairment model applies which requires a loss allowance to be recognized based on expected credit losses. The estimated present value of future cash flows associated with the asset is determined and an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between this amount and the carrying amount as follows: the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to estimated present value of the future cash flows associated with the asset, discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate, either directly or through the use of an allowance account and the resulting loss is recognized in profit or loss for the period.
In a subsequent period, if the amount of the impairment loss related to financial assets measured at amortized cost decreases, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the investment at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortized cost would have been had the impairment not been recognized.

4. Material Accounting Policies (continued)
- (i) Financial Instruments (continued)
Derecognition
Financial assets
The Company derecognizes financial assets only when the contractual rights to cash flows from the financial assets expire, or when it transfers the financial assets and substantially all of the associated risks and rewards of ownership to another entity. Gains and losses on derecognition are generally recognized in the statements of loss and comprehensive loss.
- (ii) Impairment of Non-Financial Assets
The Company performs impairment tests on its long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment when new events or circumstances occur, or when new information becomes available relating to their recoverability. When the recoverable amount of each separately identifiable asset or cash generating unit (“CGU”) is less than its carrying value, the asset or CGU’s assets are written down to their recoverable amount with the impairment loss charged against profit or loss. A reversal of the impairment loss in a subsequent period will be charged against profit or loss. A reversal of the impairment loss in a subsequent period will be charged against profit or loss if there is a significant reversal of the circumstances that caused the original impairment. The impairment will be reversed up to the amount of the depreciated carrying value that would have otherwise occurred if the impairment loss had not occurred.
The CGU’s recoverable amount is evaluated using fair value less costs of disposal calculations. In calculating the recoverable amount, the Company utilizes discounted cash flow techniques to determine fair value when it is not possible to determine fair value when active markets or a written offer to purchase. Management calculates the discounted cash flows based upon its best estimate of a number of economic, operating, engineering, environmental, political and social assumptions. Any changes in the assumptions due to changing circumstances may affect the calculation of the recoverable amount.
(iii) Fair Value Measurement
Where fair value is used to measure assets and liabilities in preparing these financial statements, it is estimated at the price at which an orderly transaction to sell the asset or to transfer the liability would take place between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. Fair values are determined from inputs that are classified within the fair value hierarchy defined under IFRS as follows:
Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly Level 3 - Inputs for the asset or liability that are unobservable
Financial instruments classified as Level 2 investments are valued based on the most recent financings and through incorporating observable market data and using standard market convention practices. Short-term investments classified as Level 2 investments are valued based on amortized cost plus accrued interest which closely approximates fair value.
Financial instrument classified as Level 3 investments are valued based on information provided by management about actual events or transactions, and that reflect the assumption that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability.

4. Material Accounting Policies (continued)
(iii) Fair Value Measurement (continue)
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:
-
In the principal market for the asset or liability, or
-
In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.
The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Company.
The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants acts in their economic best interest.
The Company holds equity investments consisting of common shares and warrants held in public and nonpublic companies. At the end of each financial reporting period, the Company’s management estimates the fair value of its investments based on the criteria below and records such valuations in the financial statements. Warrants of non-public companies are valued using option pricing models when there are sufficient and reliable observable market inputs.
Equity investments are initially recorded at fair value at the time of acquisition. At each reporting period thereafter, the fair value of an investment may, depending on circumstances, be adjusted by taking into account the following circumstances:
-
There has been a significant subsequent equity financing provided by outside investors at a valuation above or below the current fair value of the investee, in which case the fair value of the investment is adjusted to reflect the value at which the financing took place;
-
Based on financial information received from the investee it is apparent to the Company that the investee is unlikely to be able to continue as a going concern, in which case the fair value of the investment is adjusted downward;
-
The investee is placed into receivership or bankruptcy;
-
There has been significant corporate, political, operating or economic events affecting the investee that, in the Company’s opinion, have a positive or negative impact on the investee’s prospects and, therefore, its fair value. In these circumstances, the adjustment to the fair value of the investment will be based on management’s judgment and any value estimated may not be ultimately realized or realizable. Such events include, without limitation:
-
receipt or denial of necessary approvals that allow or prevent the investee to proceed with its project(s);
-
release by the investee of positive or negative operating results, which either proves or disproves its business plan; and
-
management personnel changes at the investee level that the Company’s management believes will have a very positive or negative impact on the investee’s ability to achieve its objectives and build value for shareholders.
In addition to the circumstances described above, the Company will take into account general market conditions when determining if an adjustment to the fair value of an investment is warranted at the end of each reporting period.

4. Material Accounting Policies (continued)
(iii) Fair Value Measurement (continue)
Application of the valuation techniques described above may involve uncertainties and determinations based on the Company’s judgment and any value estimated from these techniques may not be realized. Estimating the fair value for non-public companies involves a significant amount of judgement using Level 2 and Level 3 inputs. The amount at which an investment could be disposed of may differ from its carrying value due to the availability and/or reliability of information available to, and determinations reached by, the Company. Any fair value estimated by the application of these techniques may not ultimately be realized. Transaction costs incurred in the purchase and sale of investments are recorded as an expense in the statement of comprehensive loss.
(iv) Share Capital
The Company records the proceeds received net of direct issuance costs from the issuance of its common shares as equity. Proceeds received on the issuance of units, consisting of common shares and warrants are allocated between the common shares and warrant component. The Company has adopted the residual method with respect to the measurement of shares and warrants issued as private placement units. The residual method first allocates fair value to the component with the best evidence of fair value and then the residual value, if any, to the less easily measurable component. The fair value of the common shares issued is determined to be the component with the best evidence of fair value. The balance, if any, is allocated to the attached warrants.
- (v) Earnings (Loss) per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed similar to basic earnings (loss) per share except that the weighted average shares outstanding are increased to include additional shares for the assumed exercise of stock options and warrants, if dilutive.
The number of additional shares is calculated by assuming that outstanding stock options and share purchase warrants were exercised and that the proceeds from such exercises were used to acquire common stock at the average market price during the reporting periods.
5. Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments in applying its accounting policies and estimates and assumptions about the future. These judgments, estimates, and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the reporting date and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates and judgments are continuously evaluated and are based on management’s experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstance. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The following discusses the most significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions that the Company has made in the preparation of its financial statements.
Areas of judgement
(i) Going Concern
Determining if the Company has the ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to achieve profitable operations. Certain judgments are made when determining if the Company will be able to continue as a going concern. Further disclosure is included in Note 2.

5. Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements (continued)
Areas of judgement (continued)
(ii) Deferred Tax Assets
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probably that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. Management applies judgment in determining the likelihood of future taxable profits.
(iii) Determination of Fair Values
Certain of the Company’s assets and liabilities are measured at fair value. In estimating fair value, the Company uses market-observable data to the extent it is available. For equity investments not quoted in an active market, where Level 1 inputs are not available the Company estimates the fair value based on the criteria described under Note 4(iii). Significant judgement is required for the Company’s investment in nonpublic companies as well as the Company’s loans receivable using Level 2 and Level 3 inputs.
Assumptions and critical estimates
(i) Tax Assets and Liabilities
Provisions for income taxes are made using the best estimate of the amount expected to be paid or recovered based on a qualitative assessment of all relevant factors. The Company reviews the adequacy of these provisions at the end of each reporting period. However, it is possible that at some future date an additional liability could result from audits by tax authorities. Where the final outcome of these tax-related matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will affect the tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities contain estimates about the nature and timing of future permanent and temporary differences as well as the future tax rates that will apply to those differences. Changes in tax laws and rate as well as changes to the expected timing of reversals may have a significant impact on the amounts recorded for deferred tax assets and liabilities. Management closely monitors current and potential changes to tax law and bases its estimates on the best available information at each reporting date.
(ii) Share-Based Payments
The Company utilizes the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model (“Black-Scholes”) to estimate the fair value of stock options granted to directors, officers and consultants. The use of Black-Scholes requires management to make various estimates and assumptions that impact the value assigned to the stock options including the forecast future volatility of the stock price, the risk-free interest rate, dividend yield and the expected life of the stock options. Any changes in these assumptions could have a material impact on the share-based compensation calculation value, however, the most significant estimate is the volatility.
6. Loans Receivable
a. Current Loans Receivable
On May 13, 2024, the Company entered into a promissory note with PGV Patriot Gold Vault Ltd. (“PGV”) an unrelated party (the “Borrower”) for a loan of $360,000 in principal with interest bearing at 6% per annum. The loan is due 12 months from the date of the promissory note. As at June 30, 2024, the balance of the loan was $362,900 which included $2,900 in accrued interest. PGV, a privately held company, is a North American gold consolidator whose core focus is to continually drill its properties to add value. PGV has a signed letter of intent to acquire the Cracker Creek project located in Oregon and a definitive agreement to acquire the Rattlesnake Hills project in central Wyoming. The purpose of the Company’s loan to PGV is to provide financing for the acquisition of exploration properties.

a. Current Loans Receivable (continued)
On August 16, 2023, the Company entered into an agreement with an unrelated party (“Issuer”) for convertible debentures of $400,000 in principal with interest bearing at 6% per annum. The Issuer is expected to become a public company through a reverse takeover transaction (the “Transaction”). The convertible dentures are to automatically convert to common shares of the Issuer at $0.90 per share upon the closing the Transaction. The maturity date of the convertible debentures is the earlier of (i) October 30, 2023 or such other date as may be agreed to by the Company and the Issuer provided that no maturity shall occur on such date if the Transaction occurs at such time; (ii) the date of the Transaction closing; and (iii) the date of termination of the Transaction.
The Company is to receive $200,000 from the Issuer if on the maturity date these debentures have not automatically converted into common shares of the Resulting Issuer, and the remaining balance of the principal amount plus all accrued and unpaid interest shall automatically converted into common shares of the Issuer at $2.14 per share. As at June 30, 2024, these convertible debentures did not automatically convert into common shares of the Resulting Issuer, and the Company did not receive any cash nor common shares of the Issuer. The balance of the convertible debentures is $423,441 with $23,441 being the accrued interest.
During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company agreed to extend the maturity date of the convertible debentures to the date of the Issuer’s Transaction. The extension removes the partial conversion requirements noted in the original convertible debt agreement. The Issuer is targeting its Transaction completion date in or around December 2024.
b. Long-Term Loans Receivable
In March 2021, the Company participated in an unsecured debenture financing of an unrelated third party (the “Borrower”) in the amount of $500,000 and due on April 30, 2024. Instead of interest payments, the Company is entitled to receive a participation right payments equal to five percent of the Borrower’s realized net monthly revenues within 30 days of each month-end. Such participation right payments shall be calculated from the Borrower’s realized net revenues reported in the monthly financial report, which is submitted to the Borrower’s regulators adjusted for non-realized inventory gains or losses. In addition, the Company shall receive annually, a net profit interest participation right payment within 90 days of each fiscal years of from 2021, 2022, and 2023, equal to five percent of the Corporation’s net realized profits.
In January 2022, the Company and the Borrower signed an amending agreement to the original debenture agreement whereby effective January 1, 2022, the participation right payment shall equal to 0.05% of the Borrower’s realized net operating income, instead of five percent in the original agreement. Furthermore, the Company shall receive annually a net profit participation right payment equal to 0.05% of the Borrower’s net realizable profit instead of five percent in the original agreement.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company received $nil and $nil (June 30, 2023 - $nil and $87) in participation right payments from the Borrower as interest income. In November 2023, the Company obtained financial reports of the Borrower and has determined that it is unlikely that the Borrower will be able to repay the loan at the maturity date of the loan; as a result, the Company wrote off the entire loan receivable as at December 31, 2023. The fair value of the loan receivable was $nil as at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

13. Financial Instruments (continued)
The Company’s risk management policies are established to identify, analyze and manage the risks faced by the Company and to implement appropriate procedures to monitor risks and adherence to established controls. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed periodically in response to the Company’s activities and to ensure applicability. In the normal course of business, the main risks arising from the Company’s use of financial instruments include credit risk, liquidity risk, market risk and currency risk. These risks, and the actions taken to manage them, include:
(a) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. Credit risk arises from cash held with banks, cash on deposit with fiat to cryptocurrency exchanges and from outstanding trade receivables. The Company minimizes credit risk associated with its cash balance substantially by dealing with financial institutions deemed to be reliable due to their history of operations. The Company assessed its credit risk to be low.
(b) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company has a planning and budgeting process in place to help determine the funds required to support the Company’s normal operating requirements on an ongoing basis. The Company attempts to ensure there is sufficient access to funds to meet on-going business requirements, taking into account its current cash position and potential funding sources. Liquidity risk is assessed as low.
(c) Currency risk
Currency risk is the risk that the value of financial assets and liabilities denominated in currencies, other than the functional currency of the Company, will fluctuate due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company does not use derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to foreign currency risk. The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk through cash held in bank and investment accounts which are denominated in United States dollars (USD).
(d) Price risk
The Company’s net income or loss, and financial condition were subject to price risk due to fluctuations of the following:
Equity Price Risk
The Company is exposed to equity price risk through its equity investments and unfavourable market conditions could result in dispositions of equity investments at less than favourable prices, especially during periods of overall market instability. The Company manages its equity price risk by having a portfolio of equity investments not singularly exposed to any one issuer.

14. Earnings (Loss) Per Share
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted loss per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023:
| Three Months Ended June 30, 2024 June 30, 2023 |
Six Months Ended | |
|---|---|---|
| June 30, 2024 June 30, 2023 |
||
| Numerator Net income (loss) for the period $ Denominator Basic – weighted average number of common shares outstanding Effect of dilutive securities Diluted – adjusted weighted average number of shares outstanding |
(520,415) $ (222,067) $ 2,400,904 2,181,109 - - 2,400,904 2,181,109 |
(494,877) $ 82,744 2,291,014 2,181,109 - - 2,291,014 2,181,109 |
| Earnings (loss) per share–basic $ |
(0.22) $ (0.10) $ |
(0.22) $ 0.04 |
| Earnings (loss) per share-diluted $ |
(0.22) $ (0.10) $ |
(0.22) $ 0.04 |
The basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
The diluted earnings (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution of common share equivalents, such as outstanding stock options, and share purchase warrants, in the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, if dilutive.
Stock options were excluded from the calculation of diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 as the stock options expired during the six months ended June 30, 2024 while the stock options were anti-dilutive during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.
