TraceSafe Inc. (formerly Blockchain Holdings Ltd.)

Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements For the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 (Expressed in United States dollars)

1. CORPORATE INFORMATION

TraceSafe Inc. (formerly Blockchain Holdings Ltd.) [the “Company”] is listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the “CSE”) under the symbol “TSF”. The Company holds an investment in a 5G-focused wireless technology company and acquired a self-quarantine monitoring technology “TraceSafe”. TraceSafe is a full suite of real-time location management services and contact tracing solutions enabled through advanced Bluetooth beacons. The Company is also developing new products and technology for other applications and markets.

The registered office of the Company is Sea Meadow House, Blackburne Highway, PO Box 116, Road Town, Tortola, British Virgin Islands.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION

(a) Statement of compliance

These Financial Statements, including comparatives, have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and in accordance with International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) 34, Interim Financial Reporting. The Financial Statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for financial instruments classified as financial instruments at fair value through profit and loss, which are stated at their fair value. In addition, these Financial Statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting except for cash flow information.

Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to the restated financial statement presentation for the current period. Since the unaudited Financial Statements do not include all disclosures required by IFRS for annual consolidated financial statements, they should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019.

The policies set out were consistently applied to all the periods presented unless otherwise noted below. The preparation of condensed interim consolidated financial statements in accordance with IAS 1 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates, judgments, and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, profit and expenses. 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. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

These Financial Statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on November 25, 2020 and have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for certain financial instruments. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an on-going basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and further periods if the review affects both current and future periods.

TraceSafe Inc. (formerly Blockchain Holdings Ltd.)

Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements For the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 (Expressed in United States dollars)

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION (continued)

(b) Going concern

The assessment of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and ability to fund potential projects, involves significant judgements based on historical experience and other factors including expectation of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

The Company’s business involves a high degree of risk and there can be no assurance that current business development activity will ultimately result in profitable operations. The Company's continued existence is dependent upon its ability to secure future customers and the achievement of profitable operations, or the ability of the Company to raise additional financing.

3. STANDARDS, AMENDMENTS AND INTERPRETATIONS

The following new accounting standard will become effective in a future year and is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements in future period.

• IFRS 7 Insurance Contracts
