Independent Auditor's Report

==> picture [104 x 35] intentionally omitted <==

To the Shareholders of Solvbl Solutions Inc.:

Opinion

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Solvbl Solutions Inc. (the "Company"), which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as at December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, and the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss, changes in shareholders’ equity (deficiency) and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audits of the consolidated financial statements in Canada, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern

We draw attention to Note 1 in the consolidated financial statements, which indicates that as at December 31, 2022, the Company had an accumulated deficit and negative operating cashflows. As stated in Note 1, these events or conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

In addition to the matter described in the Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern section, we have determined the matter described below to be the key audit matter to be communicated in our report.

Acquisition of Darkhorse Films Limited

Key Audit Matter Description

As described in Notes 1 and 5 to the consolidated financial statements, on October 26, 2022, the Company completed its acquisition of Darkhorse Films Limited, for a total purchase price of $3,690,490. The identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed are measured at fair value as of the acquisition date. Where the net of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is less than the fair value of consideration transferred, the difference is accounted for as goodwill. In assessing the fair value of the acquired assets, management used various valuation techniques involving significant judgment and subjectivity.

We considered this to be a key audit matter due to the complexity of the transaction, which included valuation of the goodwill. This resulted in a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity and effort in performing procedures and evaluating the audit evidence related to management's estimates. As such, an increased extent of audit effort was required, which included the involvement of internal valuation specialists.

Audit Response

We responded to this matter by performing procedures in relation to the acquisition of Darkhorse Films Limited. Our audit work in relation to this included, but was not restricted to, the following:

  • Analyzed the signed purchase agreements to obtain an understanding of the key terms and conditions and to identify the necessary accounting considerations.

  • Tested the mathematical accuracy of management's valuation models and supporting calculations.

  • Evaluated the fair value of the consideration transferred including shares to be issued.

  • Evaluated the reasonableness of key assumptions in management's models, including testing of historical financial results which were used as a basis for future projections.

  • Assessed the appropriateness of the disclosures relating to the assumptions used in the acquisition in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

  • With the assistance of internal valuation specialists, evaluated the reasonableness of management's model, through assessing the appropriateness of valuation models used and testing significant assumptions and inputs by:

  • Comparing to externally available industry and economic trends;

  • Evaluating budgets and forecasts for future operations; and

  • Comparing against guideline companies within the same industry.

  • Reviewing the cashflows in management’s discounted cashflow analysis to test if the business enterprise valuation as of acquisition date supports the aggregate free cashflows expected to be generated by the business.

Other Information

Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises Management’s Discussion and Analysis. Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audits of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audits or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. We obtained Management’s Discussion and Analysis prior to the date of this auditor’s report. If, based on the work we have performed on this other information, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

  • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control.

  • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

  • Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

  • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

  • Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

3-139 Northfield Drive West, Waterloo, Ontario, N2L 5A6 T: (519) 725-7700 F: (519) 725-7708 MNP.ca

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audits and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audits.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor's report is Stephanie Pottruff.

Solvbl Solutions Inc. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

The Transaction was completed on February 10, 2021 and immediately prior to the closing of the Transaction, Stowe One changed its name to Solvbl Solutions Inc. and consolidated its share capital based on one post-consolidation common shares for each 2.1428571 pre-consolidation common shares, total 3,366,817 post-consolidation shares was issued. (Note 6)

The Company commenced trading on the Canadian Securities Exchange (“CSE”) under the symbol SOLV at the open of business on February 23, 2021.

On July 1, 2021, the Company moved its registered head office to First Canadian Place, 100 King Street West, Suite 5700, Toronto, Ontario, M5X 1C7.

Going Concern

As of December 31, 2022, the Company had an accumulated deficit amounted to $11,261,687 (December 31, 2021: $5,598,963). As of December 31, 2022, the Company had current liabilities exceeding current assets of $787,607 (December 31, 2021: current assets exceeding current liabilities of $1,991,132). The Company has generated negative operating cashflow of $1,766,917 for the year ended December 31, 2022 (2021: $1,786,638). The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon generating profitable operations from its developed products, the continuing financial support of shareholders or other investors, or obtaining new financing on commercial terms acceptable to the Company. These events or conditions indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect any events since December 31, 2022 or the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from this uncertainty.

Covid – 19

In March 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) classified the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic, based on the rapid increase in exposure globally. Many countries reacted by instituting quarantines and restrictions on travel. These actions are creating disruption in global supply chains and adversely impacting economic and market conditions and triggered a period of global economic slowdown. Generally, the business development activities of the Company have slowed due to COVID-19. Management is actively monitoring the global situation on its financial condition, liquidity, operations and workforce. Given the daily evolution of the COVID-19 outbreak and the global responses to curb its spread, the Company is not able to estimate the effects of the outbreak on its result of operations, financial condition and liquidity at this time.

Since the emergence in or about December 2019 of a novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”), the highly contagious virus has spread across the world. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of COVID-19 a global pandemic. Since that time in response to the outbreak, governmental authorities in Canada and internationally have implemented various measures with the aim of preventing or limiting further spread of COVID-19. These measures, which have included travel restrictions, border closures, non-essential business closures, quarantines, self-isolations, and social distancing, have, among other things, resulted in widespread business, employment and economic disruptions. While the recent positive news of vaccine results is promising, the infection and death rates are still very worrying. The global pandemic continues to rapidly evolve, and the ultimate impact of the COVID-19 outbreak is highly uncertain.

Solvbl Solutions Inc. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

The continued global spread of COVID-19 could have an adverse impact on the business, operations and financial results of the Company, including with respect to issues related to securing clients in Canada, US and elsewhere and may also impact our business in the supply chain sector. The Company has not yet begun selling its products but is implementing or will implement precautionary measures, which would not have otherwise been implemented prior to the COVID-19 outbreak, at its facility to ensure the safety of its personnel, and potential clients and partners, which may adversely impact the Company’s productivity and its business in the supply chain sector. For example, mandatory or voluntary self-quarantines may limit the staffing at the Company’s facility. In addition, it is possible that among other things, travel restrictions to the US and elsewhere due to the COVID-19 pandemic may adversely affect the Company’s ability to successfully market and sell its products in Canada and elsewhere. Continued spread of COVID-19 globally could also lead to a deterioration of general economic conditions including a possible national or global recession. Due to the unpredictability and scale of the effects of COVID-19, The Company is unable to accurately estimate the impact or level of materiality of COVID-19 on its business, operations or financial results. The Company will monitor the situation in order to assess any possible adverse impact on its business, supply chain and customers on an ongoing basis and to determine which measures, if any, will be taken to mitigate such adverse impact.

2. Basis of preparation

  • a) Statement of Compliance:

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”).

These consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors for issue on May 30, 2023.

  • b) Functional and Presentation Currency:

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments, which are measured at fair value.

The functional currency of Solvbl is the Canadian Dollar, which is also the presentation currency of these consolidated financial statements. The functional currency of Darkhorse is GB Pound.

  • c) Principles of consolidation

Subsidiaries

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries as at December 31, 2022. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date of acquisition, being the date on which the Company obtains control, and continue to be consolidated until the date when such control ceases.

All intra-company balances, transactions, unrealized gains and losses resulting from intercompany transactions and dividends are eliminated in full.

13

Solvbl Solutions Inc. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

The Consolidated financial statements of the Company include the following significant subsidiaries:

Name of Subsidiaries Place of Domicile Percentage Ownership
1191212 B. C. Ltd. Canada 100%
Darkhorse Films Limited United Kingdom 100%

The Company consolidated all of its subsidiaries on the basis that it controls these subsidiaries through its ability to govern their financial and operating policies. All intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated on consolidation.

  • d) Accounting estimates and judgements

The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments and estimates and form assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Such estimates primarily relate to unsettled transactions and events as at the date of the consolidated financial statements.

On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its judgments and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. Management uses various factors it believes to be reasonable under the given circumstances as the basis for its judgments and estimates. Actual results could differ from the estimates used under different assumptions and conditions.

The most significant judgments applying to the Company’s consolidated financial statements include:

  • The assessment of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and whether there are events or conditions that may give rise to significant uncertainty. These consolidated financial statements have been prepared based on the going concern assumption, which assumes the Company will continue to operate for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations. In assessing whether this assumption is appropriate, management considers all available information about the future, which is at least, but not limited to, twelve months from the end of the reporting period. The assessment is based upon planned actions that may or may not occur for several reasons including the Company’s own resources and external market conditions.

  • Impairment of non-financial assets - Non-financial assets include property and equipment. Impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. The fair value less costs of disposal calculation is based on available data from binding sales transactions in an arm’s length transaction of similar assets or observable market prices less incremental costs for disposing of the asset. The value in use calculation is based on a discounted cash flow model. The recoverable amount is most sensitive to the discount rate and cash flow projections.

  • Purchase price allocation in business combinations – a purchase price allocation is carried out by assigning the cost of the purchase to all assets and liabilities assumed in a business combination, whether or not recognized in the financial statements, based on their fair values as at the dte of acquisition and recognizing any remaining balance as an asset referred to as goodwill.

  • Determination of fair value of acquisition consideration and contingent consideration – IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement defines fair value as 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

14

Solvbl Solutions Inc. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

measurement date. Fair value as such defined may be different from the price that may be realized between a buyer and a seller of the assets of the Company in an actual open market transaction. This difference may arise from a variety of factors that exist in the real market and do not exist in the notional marketplace contemplated by the aforementioned fair value definition. These factors may include, but are not limited to:

  • The differing negotiation ability of the buyer and seller;

  • The structure and consideration of the purchase price;

  • Differing levels of knowledge between the buyer and the seller; and

  • Differing levels of synergies and strategic advantages perceived and paid for by particular purchases.

  • Provisions - Provisions are accrued for liabilities with uncertain timing or amounts, if, in the opinion of management, it is both likely that a future event will confirm that a liability had been incurred at the date of the consolidated financial statements of financial position and the amount can be estimated. In cases where it is not possible to determine whether such a liability has occurred, or to reasonably estimate the amount of loss until the performance of some future event, no accrual is made until that time. In the ordinary course of business, the Company may be party to legal proceedings which include claims for monetary damages asserted against the Company. The adequacy of provisions is regularly assessed as new information becomes available.

Significant estimates or key sources of estimation uncertainty include:

  • Current and deferred income taxes - Current income taxes require significant estimation in their calculation including the consideration of allowable deductions and tax rates. In assessing the probability of realizing deferred tax assets, management makes estimates related to the expectation of future taxable income, applicable tax planning opportunities, expected timing of reversals of existing temporary differences and the likelihood that the tax positions taken will be sustained upon examination by applicable tax authorities.

  • Allowance for expected credit losses - Management determines expected credit loss by evaluating individual receivable balances and considering customers’ financial condition, customer creditworthiness, current economic trends, and experience. Account receivables are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of accounts receivable previously written off are recorded as income when received. All receivables are expected to be collected within one year of the year ended.

  • Useful lives of non-financial assets - The Company estimates the useful lives of property and equipment based on the period over which the assets are expected to be available for use. The estimated useful lives of property and equipment are reviewed periodically and are updated if expectations differ from previous estimates due to physical wear and tear, technical or commercial obsolescence and legal or other limits on the use of the relevant assets. In addition, the estimation of the useful lives of property and equipment are based on internal technical evaluations and experience with similar assets. It is possible, however, that future results of operations could be materially affected by changes in the estimates brought about by changes in factors mentioned above. The amounts and timing of recorded expenses for any period would be affected by changes in these factors and circumstances. A reduction in the estimated useful lives of the property, plant and equipment would increase the recorded expenses and decrease the non-current assets.

  • Share-based payment transactions and warrants - The Company measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees, directors, and consultants by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. Estimating fair

15

Solvbl Solutions Inc. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

value for share-based payment transactions require determining the most appropriate valuation model, which is dependent on the terms and conditions of the grant. This estimate also requires determining and making assumptions about the most appropriate inputs to the valuation model including the expected life, volatility, dividend yield of the share option and forfeiture rate. Similar calculations are made to value warrants. Such judgments and assumptions are inherently uncertain. Changes in these assumptions affect the fair value estimates.

3. Significant Accounting Policies

  • a) Financial Instruments

Classification

The Company classifies its financial assets and financial liabilities in the following measurement categories: i) those to be measured subsequently at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL); ii) those to be measured subsequently at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI); and iii) those to be measured at amortized cost. The classification of financial assets depends on the business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows. Financial liabilities are classified as those to be measured at amortized cost unless they are designated as those to be measured subsequently at FVTPL (irrevocable election at the time of recognition). For assets and liabilities measured at fair value, gains and losses are either recorded in profit or loss or other comprehensive income.

Amortized cost

This category includes financial assets that are held within a business model with the objective to hold the financial assets to collect contractual cash flows that meet the solely principal and interest (“SPPI”) criterion. Financial asset classified in this category are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

Fair value through profit or loss

This category includes derivative instruments as well as quoted equity instruments which the Company has not irrevocably elected, at initial recognition or transition, to classify at FVOCI. This category would also include debt instruments whose cash flow characteristics fail the SPPI criterion or are not held within a business model whose objective is either to collect contractual cash flows, or to both collect contractual cash flows and sell. Financial assets in this category are recorded at fair value with changes recognized in profit or loss.

Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income not held-for-trading can be irrevocably designated to have their change in fair value recognized through other comprehensive income instead of through profit or loss. This election can be made on individual instruments and is not required to be made for the entire class of instruments. Attributable transaction costs are included in the carrying value of the instruments. Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income are initially measured at fair value and changes therein are recognized in other comprehensive income. Measurement

All financial instruments are required to be measured at fair value on initial recognition, plus, in the case of a financial asset or financial liability not at FVTPL, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issuance of the financial asset or financial liability. Transaction costs of financial assets and financial liabilities carried at FVTPL are expensed in profit or loss.

Financial assets and financial liabilities with embedded derivatives are considered in their entirety when determining whether their cash flows are solely payment of principal and interest. Financial assets that are held within a business model whose objective is to collect the

16

Solvbl Solutions Inc. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

contractual cash flows, and that have contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding are measured at amortized cost at the end of the subsequent accounting periods. All other financial assets including equity investments are measured at their fair values at the end of subsequent accounting periods, with any changes taken through profit and loss or other comprehensive income (irrevocable election at the time of recognition). For financial liabilities measured subsequently at FVTPL, changes in fair value due to credit risk are recorded in other comprehensive income.

Summary of the Company’s classification and measurements of financial assets and liabilities under IFRS 9: Financial Instruments:

under IFRS 9: Financial Instruments:
Classification Measurement
Cash and cash equivalents Amortized cost Amortized cost
Cash held in trust Amortized cost Amortized cost
GIC investment FVTPL Fair value
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities Amortized cost Amortized cost
Darkhorse acquisition - contingent consideration Amortized cost Amortized cost
Government loan Amortized cost Amortized cost

Impairment of financial assets

The Company recognizes a loss allowance for the expected credit losses associated with its financial assets, other than financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss. Expected credit losses are measured to reflect a probability-weighted amount, the time value of money, and reasonable and supportable information regarding past events, current conditions, and forecasts of future economic conditions.

The Company applies the simplified approach for accounts receivables. Using the simplified approach, the Company records a loss allowance equal to the expected credit losses resulting from all default events over the assets’ contractual lifetime.

The Company assesses whether a financial asset is credit-impaired at the reporting date. Regular indicators that a financial instrument is credit-impaired include significant financial difficulties as evidenced through borrowing patterns or observed balances in other accounts and breaches of borrowing contracts such as default events or breaches of borrowing covenants. For financial assets assessed as credit-impaired at the reporting date, the Company continues to recognize a loss allowance equal to lifetime expected credit losses.

For financial assets measured at amortized cost, loss allowances for expected credit losses are presented in the statement of financial position as a deduction from the gross carrying amount of the financial asset.

Financial assets are written off when the Company has no reasonable expectations of recovering all or any portion thereof.

  • b) Cash and cash equivalents – Cash and cash equivalents include cash on account and demand deposits with original maturities of three months or less.

  • c) Business combinations - Acquisitions of businesses are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred in a business combination is measured at fair value, which is calculated as the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of assets transferred by the Company, liabilities incurred by the Company to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interest issued by the Company in exchange for control of the acquiree. Acquisitionrelated costs are recognised in profit or loss as incurred.

17

Solvbl Solutions Inc. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

At the acquisition date, the identifiable assets acquired, and the liabilities assumed are recognised at their fair value at the acquisition date, except that:

  • Deferred tax assets or liabilities and assets or liabilities related to employee benefit arrangements are recognised measured in accordance with IAS 12 Income Taxes and IAS 19 Employee Benefits, respectively.

  • Liabilities or equity instruments related to share-based payment arrangements of the acquiree, or share-based payment arrangements of the Company entered into to replace share-based payment arrangements of the acquiree are measured in accordance with IFRS 2 at the acquisition date.

Assets (or disposal groups) that are classified as held for sale in accordance with IFRS 5 Noncurrent Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations are measured in accordance with that Standard.

Goodwill is measured as the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree, and the fair value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree (if any) over the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. If, after reassessment, the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed exceeds the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree and the fair value of the acquirer’s previously held interest in the acquiree (if any), the excess is recognised immediately in profit or loss as a bargain purchase gain.

.

When the consideration transferred by the Company in a business combination includes a contingent consideration arrangement, the contingent consideration is measured at its acquisition-date fair value and included as part of the consideration transferred in a business combination. Changes in fair value of the contingent consideration that qualify as measurement period adjustments are adjusted retrospectively, with corresponding adjustments against goodwill. Measurement period adjustments are adjustments that arise from additional information obtained during the ‘measurement period’ (which cannot exceed one year from the acquisition date) about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date.

The subsequent accounting for changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration that do not qualify as measurement period adjustments depends on how the contingent consideration is classified. Contingent consideration that is classified as equity is not remeasured at subsequent reporting dates and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity. Other contingent consideration is remeasured to fair value at subsequent reporting dates with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss.

When a business combination is achieved in stages, the Company’s previously held interests (including joint operations) in the acquired entity are remeasured to its acquisition-date fair value and the resulting gain or loss, if any, is recognised in profit or loss. Amounts arising from interests in the acquiree prior to the acquisition date that have previously been recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss, where such treatment would be appropriate if that interest were disposed of.

If the initial accounting for a business combination is incomplete by the end of the reporting period in which the combination occurs, the Company reports provisional amounts for the items for which the accounting is incomplete. Those provisional amounts are adjusted during the measurement period (see above), or additional assets or liabilities are recognised, to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the amounts recognised as of that date.

18

Solvbl Solutions Inc. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

  • d) Goodwill - Goodwill is initially recognised and measured as set out above. Goodwill is not amortised but is reviewed for impairment at least annually. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the Company’s cash-generating units (or groups of cashgenerating units) expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. Cash-generating units to which goodwill has been allocated are evaluated for impairment annually, or more frequently when there is an indication that the unit may be impaired. If the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than the carrying amount of the unit, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the other assets of the unit pro-rata on the basis of the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. An impairment loss recognised for goodwill is not reversed in a subsequent period.

On disposal of a cash-generating unit, the attributable amount of goodwill is included in the determination of the profit or loss on disposal.

  • e) Intangible assets acquired in a business combination - Intangible assets acquired in a business combination and recognised separately from goodwill are recognised initially at their fair value at the acquisition date (which is regarded as their cost).

Subsequent to initial recognition, intangible assets acquired in a business combination are reported at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, on the same basis as intangible assets that are acquired separately.

  • f) Derecognition of intangible assets - An intangible asset is derecognised on disposal, or when no future economic benefits are expected from use or disposal. Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset, measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset, are recognised in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised.

g) Income taxes

Income tax expense consists of current and deferred tax expense. Current and deferred tax are recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that they relate to items recognized directly in deficiency in assets or other comprehensive loss.

Current tax is recognized and measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or payable to the taxation authorities based on the income tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period and includes any adjustment to taxes payable in respect of previous years.

Deferred tax is recognized on any temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable earnings. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the asset is realized, and the liability is settled. The effect of a change in the enacted or substantively enacted tax rates is recognized in loss and comprehensive loss or in equity depending on the item to which the adjustment relates.

Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent future recovery is probable. At the end of each reporting period, deferred tax assets are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable earnings will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.

h) Loss per share

Loss per share is computed by dividing the loss for the year by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted loss per share is calculated in a similar manner, except that the weighted average number of common shares outstanding is increased to include potentially issuable common shares from the assumed exercise of common share purchase

19

Solvbl Solutions Inc. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

option and warrants, if dilutive. The diluted loss per share calculation excludes any potential conversion of options that would increase earnings per share or decrease loss per share.

  • i) Equipment

Equipment is recorded at cost less accumulated amortization. The Company provides for amortization using the following methods at rates designed to amortize the cost of the equipment over their estimated useful lives. The annual amortization rates and methods are as follows:

Blockchain hardware 30% Declining balance Computer equipment 30% Declining balance

The estimated residual value and useful lives of assets are reviewed by management annually at each reporting date and adjusted if necessary.

j) Provisions and contingencies

Provisions are recognized when a legal contractual or constructive obligation exists, as a result of past events, and it is probable that a future outflow of resources that can be reliably estimated will be required to settle the obligation. Where the effect is material, the provision is discounted using an appropriate current market- based pre-tax discount rate. The increase in the provision due to passage of time is recognized as interest expense. When a contingency substantiated by confirming events can be reliably measured and is likely to result in an economic outflow, a liability is recognized as the best estimate required to settle the obligation. A contingent liability is disclosed where the existence of an obligation will only be confirmed by future events, or where the amount of a present obligation cannot be measured reliably or will likely not result in an economic outflow. Contingent assets are only disclosed when the inflow of economic benefits is probable. When the economic benefit becomes virtually certain, the asset is no longer contingent and is recognized in the consolidated financial statements.

k) Impairment of long-lived assets

At each reporting date the Company assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. Where an indication of impairment exists, the Company makes a formal estimate of recoverable amount. Where the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. Recoverable amount is the greater of fair value (less costs to sell) and value ‐ in ‐ use. It is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset’s value ‐ in ‐ use cannot be estimated to be close to its fair value (less costs to sell) and it does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets, in which case, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash ‐ generating unit to which the asset belongs. In assessing value ‐ in ‐ use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre ‐ tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.

l) Foreign currencies

In preparing the financial statements of the Company, transactions in currencies other than the entity’s functional currency (foreign currencies) are recognised at the rates of exchange prevailing on the dates of the transactions. At each reporting date, monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. Nonmonetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.

20

Solvbl Solutions Inc. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

Exchange differences are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise except for the purpose of presenting consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign operations are translated at exchange rates prevailing on the reporting date. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period, unless exchange rates fluctuate significantly during that period, in which case the exchange rates at the date of transactions are used. Exchange differences arising, if any, are recognised in other comprehensive income.

m) Shareholders’ equity

Ordinary shares and obligation to issue shares for acquisition are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or share options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

n) Share-based compensation

The Company uses the fair value method whereby the Company recognizes compensation costs for the granting of all stock options and direct awards of stock-based compensation on their fair value over the period of vesting using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Any consideration paid by the option holders to purchase shares is credited to common shares.

Share-based payment arrangements in which the Company receives goods or services as consideration for its own equity instruments are accounted for as equity settled share-based payment transactions and measured at the fair value of goods or services received. If the fair value of the goods or services received cannot be estimated reliably, the share-based payment transaction is measured at the fair value of the equity instruments granted at the date the Company receives the goods or the services.

o) Financing warrants, performance warrants

Financing warrants and performance warrants have been issued in combination with common shares as part of a financing exercise or separately. Per IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation, the number of shares issued by the Company upon the exercise of the warrant is fixed, the warrants therefore meet met the "fixed-for-fixed" criteria for equity classification. Warrants classified as equity are valued using the Black-Scholes Model. When the warrants are exercised, the fair value of the warrants is transferred to share capital from the warrant reserve. If a warrant expires, the value of the warrant remains in warrant reserve.

p) Segment reporting

An operating segment is a component of an entity that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses (including revenues and expenses relating to transactions with other components of the same entity), whose operation results are regularly reviewed by the entity’s chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance and for which discrete financial information is available. This includes start ‐ up operations which are yet to earn revenues. Management will also consider other factors in determining operating segments such as the existence of a line manager and the level of segment information presented to the board of directors.

Operating segments have been identified based on the information provided to the chief operating decision makers being the executive management team.

The operations of the Company represents in two operating segments under IAS 8 Operating Segments: 1) films producing and transmission services that is mainly conducted by Darkhorse Films Limited, a subsidiary that has been acquired through a business acquisition closed in

21

Solvbl Solutions Inc. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

October 2022; 2) Blockchain based software development and services providing by Solvbl Solutions Inc., the parent company of the group. The accounting policies applied for internal reporting purposes of both segments are consistent with those applied in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.

  • q) Revenue

The Company recognizes blockchain software revenue when a contractual exchange agreement has been entered, the software development obligations have been performed, and the customers accept the software products delivered, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for the software products delivery.

The Company generates revenue through the sale of services for the Blockchain software products.

Primary products and services include:

  • Supply-chain ecosystem which enables a single entity to monitor, measure and manage its inventory and supply management

  • Tracking system that provides a level of security by registering tracker profiles on the ledger using a 256-bit hash.

Revenue is measured based on the gross consideration specified in a contract with a customer and excludes amounts collected on behalf of third parties. The Company recognizes revenue when it transfers control over a product or service to a customer.

The Company applies the provisions of IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“IFRS 15”), a single, comprehensive set of criteria for revenue recognition. IFRS 15 applies to all contracts with customers except for contracts that are within the scope of other standards. IFRS 15 prescribes a five-step framework through which revenue is recognized when control of promised goods or services is transferred to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Goods and services that are determined not to be distinct are combined with other promised goods or services until a distinct bundle is identified. The Company allocates the transaction price (the amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for the promised goods or services) to each performance obligation and recognizes the associated revenue when (or as) each performance obligation is satisfied. The Company’s estimate of the transaction price for each contract includes all variable consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled, and that estimate is reassessed at the end of each reporting period. When two or more contracts are entered into with the same customer at or near the same time, the Company evaluates the contracts to determine whether the contracts should be accounted for as a single arrangement.

The Company recognizes blockchain software revenue when a contractual exchange agreement has been entered, the software development obligations have been performed, and the customers accept of the software products delivered, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for the software products delivered.

4. Adoption of New Accounting Standards

IFRS 3 Business Combinations (Amendments)

In May 2020, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued amendments to update IFRS 3 Business Combinations without significantly changing its requirements which were incorporated into Part I of the CPA Canada Handbook – Accounting in September 2020.

The amendments are summarized below:

  • To update all old references in IFRS 3 to the old Conceptual Framework to the revised Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting.

  • To add an exception to the IFRS 3 recognition requirements. For liabilities and contingent liabilities that would be within the scope of IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets or IFRIC 21 Levies if incurred separately, an acquirer would apply IAS 37 or IFRIC 21 to identify the obligations assumed in a business combination, instead of the Conceptual Framework.

  • To make requirements for contingent assets more explicit by adding a statement in IFRS 3 that an acquirer should not recognize contingent assets acquired in a business combination.

An entity is required to apply these amendments to business combinations occurring in reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022. The adoption of these amendments did not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

Future accounting standards:

IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements (Amendments)

In January 2020, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued amendments to IAS 1 which were incorporated into Part I of the CPA Canada Handbook – Accounting in April 2020. The amendments clarify the requirements for classifying liabilities as either current or non-current by:

  • Specifying that the conditions which exist at the end of the reporting period determine if a right to defer settlement of a liability exists;

  • Clarifying that settlement of a liability refers to the transfer to the counterparty of cash, equity instruments, other assets or services;

  • Clarifying that classification is unaffected by management’s expectation about events after the balance sheet date; and

  • Clarifying the classification requirements for debt an entity may settle by converting it into equity.

Since the amendments only clarify existing requirements, they are not expected to have a significant impact on an entity’s financial statements. However, the clarifications may result in reclassification of some liabilities from current to non-current or vice-versa, which could impact an entity’s loan covenants. Because of this impact, the IASB has provided a longer effective date to allow entities to prepare for these amendments.

In October 2022, the effective date of the amendments was deferred to annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024. Early application is permitted. An entity that applies these amendments early is also required to apply the October 2022 amendments at the same time, and vice versa. The

23

Solvbl Solutions Inc. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

Company does not anticipate the adoption of the amendments will have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements and IFRS Practice Statement 2 Making Materiality Judgements (Amendments)

In February 2021, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements which were incorporated into Part I of the CPA Canada Handbook – Accounting and IFRS Practice Statement 2 Making Materiality Judgements in June 2021.

The amendments help entities provide accounting policy disclosures that are more useful to primary users of financial statements by:

  • Replacing the requirement to disclose “significant” accounting policies under IAS 1 with a requirement to disclose “material” accounting policies. Under this, an accounting policy would be material if, when considered together with other information included in an entity’s financial statements, it can reasonably be expected to influence decisions that primary users of generalpurpose financial statements make on the basis of those financial statements.

  • Providing guidance in IFRS Practice Statement 2 to explain and demonstrate the application of the four-step materiality process to accounting policy disclosures.

The amendments, which should be applied prospectively, are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023. Earlier application is permitted. Once the entity applies the amendments to IAS 1, it is also permitted to apply the amendments to IFRS Practice Statement 2.

IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements (Amendments)

In October 2022, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued amendments to IAS 1 which were incorporated into Part I of the CPA Canada Handbook – Accounting in December 2022. The amendments require an entity to disclose, in specified circumstances, information in the notes that enables financial statement users to understand the risk that non-current liabilities with covenants could become repayable within 12 months after the reporting period. As part of the amendments, a provision was added to clarify that only covenants that an entity must comply with on or before the reporting date would affect a liability’s classification as current or non-current, even if compliance with the covenant is only assessed after the entity’s reporting date. Covenants which an entity must comply with after the reporting date would not affect classification of a liability as current or non-current at the reporting date.

The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024. Earlier application is permitted. An entity that applies these amendments early is also required to apply the January 2020 amendments at the same time, and vice versa. The Company does not anticipate the adoption of the amendments will have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors (Amendments)

In February 2021, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued amendments to IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors which were incorporated into Part I of the CPA Canada Handbook – Accounting in June 2021.

The amendments introduce a new definition of ‘accounting estimates’ to replace the definition of ‘change in accounting estimates’ and also include clarifications intended to help entities distinguish changes in accounting policies from changes in accounting estimates.

5. Business acquisition

On October 26, 2022, the Company completed (the “Closing Date”) the acquisition (“Acquisition) of Darkhorse Films Limited ("Darkhorse"). Darkhorse is a United Kingdom Web3 blockchain powered film production and digital entertainment & e-commerce business.

Pursuant to the terms of a Share Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) dated and executed on September 29, 2022, and a valuation report issued by qualified professionals that determine the fair value of the Acquisition purchase price, the Company has acquired all the issued and outstanding shares of Darkhorse, in an arm's-length transaction. On Closing Date, the vendors of Darkhorse have been entitled of 115,384,615 SoLVBL common shares at market price of $0.02 per share subject to a four-month hold-period, with a fair value of $1,996,890 after valuation discount. The valuation was calculated using the Finnerty model with inputs of volatility of 105.0%, 0.33 year expiration and stock price of $0.02. An increase in the volatility of 20% would result in a decrease in the fair value of $60,000 and a decrease in the volatility of 20% would result in an increase in the fair value of $50,000. Darkhorse will continue to operate under the existing Darkhorse Films brand and ensure the quality and continuity of service that it has delivered to date.

Pursuant to the SPA, $150,000 of the total purchase price will be paid upon the Company raising at least $500,000 in a private placement, and $2,500,000 of the balance of the purchase price will be settled in cash (“Cash Balance”) and the remainder in restricted shares of SoLVBL. The Cash Balance will be payable in tranches and only once certain operational and financing milestones have been met, which include the Company completing an aggregate financing of $10,000,000 within 24 months of the closing of the Acquisition, as follows: $1,000,000 payable to the vendors of Darkhorse, if the Company raises at least $4,000,000 in private placement financing within 12 months from the Closing Date, and an additional $1,500,000 is payable if the Company raises an additional $6,000,000 of private placement financing within 24 months of Closing Date.

A valuation has been performed by an independent valuator after the Closing Date, pursuant the valuation report dated May 26, 2023, the total fair value of consideration as of Closing Date was $3,690,490. The Company and the vendors of Darkhorse have agreed further that the cash deposit of $150,000 payable as of the Closing Date would be settled in shares on May 31, 2023. Discounting it using the Risk Free Rate of 3.87% gives a fair value of $146,600 as of Closing Date, represented total 7,330,000 Solvbl common shares to be issued at the market price of $0.02 per share as of October 26, 2022. The discounted fair value of the contingent $2,500,000 cash consideration was determined as $1,547,000 as at the Closing Date (October 26, 2022), using a weighted average cost of capital ("WACC") rate of 12.95% and a probability of closing the financings of 75%. An increase or decrease in the estimate of the probability of closing the financings of 5% would result in a change of approximately $100,000.

No finder's fees are payable in connection with this acquisition of Darkhorse. All shares issued to Darkhorse shareholders in connection with the transaction are subject to an escrow of a minimum of four (4) months and are subject to voting trust agreements typical for these types of transactions. The escrow conditions for the shares will include their release based on the Company meeting certain financing milestones. The post transaction consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries include the assets and liabilities of Darkhorse which, on December 31, 2022 comprise total assets of $19,178, total liabilities of $457,548 and an accumulated shareholders deficiency of $438,370.

1,996,890
1,547,000

$ 3,652,780

The Company recorded an impairment loss on the acquisition based on the fair value of total identifiable net assets acquired. The Company prepared a discounted cashflow analysis which did not support the valuation of the consideration paid in excess of the net assets acquired. Accordingly, the consideration paid in excess of net assets acquired of $3,653,780 has been recorded as an impairment loss.

On December 31, 2022, the Company revised the fair value of the contingent cash consideration, based on a weighted average cost of capital ("WACC") rate of 13.45% and a probability of closing the financings of 50%, to $1,024,000. An increase in the estimate of the probability of closing the financings of 5% would result in an increase to the fair value of approximately $176,000. A decrease in the estimate of the probability of closing the financings of 5% would result in a decrease to the fair value of approximately $44,000. The change in the fair value of the contingent cash consideration of $523,000 was included in the Company’s consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2022.

From the date of the Acquisition (October 26, 2022) to December 31, 2022, Darkhorse contributed $Nil to consolidated revenue and $476,080 to consolidated loss.

Had the acquisition occurred on January 1, 2022, the Company estimates that it would have contributed the following revenue and net loss to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022:

12 months ended December 31, 2022 Revenue $ 349,473 Net loss $ 2,473,410

6. Qualified transaction

Immediately prior to the completion of the Transaction, Stowe One: (a) filed articles of amendment to change its name from "Stowe One Investment Corp." to "Solvbl Solutions Inc."; and (b) consolidated its share capital based on one post-consolidation Common Share for each 2.1428571 pre-consolidation Common Shares, with total 3,366,817 post-consolidation shares issued. Under the terms of an amalgamation agreement between Stowe One (now Solvbl), Agile and 1191212 BC Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of Stowe One ("Subco"), dated effective December 21, 2018, as amended and restated effective August 14, 2020, the Transaction was completed by way of a threecornered amalgamation under the laws of British Columbia whereby Subco merged with and into Agile to form an amalgamated entity, named "1191212 BC Ltd.". On closing of the Transaction, the amalgamated "1191212 BC Ltd." became a wholly owned subsidiary of SoLVBL and the shareholders of Agile were issued one Common Share in exchange for every one Agile common share held immediately prior to the completion of the Transaction. In addition, each outstanding option to purchase Agile common shares was exchanged for the equivalent number of options to purchase common shares of Solvbl on the same terms and conditions as the original security.

Following the completion of the Transaction, SoLVBL has 80,836,397 Common Shares issued and outstanding, approximately 4.2% of which are held by the prior shareholders of Stowe One Investments Corp. and approximately 95.8% of which are held by the former shareholders of Agile.
