Review of the Year
Coinsilium has now completed its sixth year of operations as a listed company. In July 2020, we launched a strategic
review with the ultimate objective to best position Coinsilium to maximise its potential. This strategic review
concluded in December 2020, identifying the Open Finance and NFT market segments as emerging blockchain technology
opportunities with significant growth and revenue generating potential. The Open Finance and NFT sectors were also
recognised to be sectors where Coinsilium is well-positioned to play to its strengths, given its strong industry
profile, relationships and global partnership network. Although the findings of the strategic review were announced
towards the end of the year, much progress was made in 2020 which has enhanced the Company's prospects and ensured that
it entered 2021 in a very strong position. This progress included various agreements and partnerships to ensure that
Coinsilium is well positioned to take advantage of the very sizable opportunities that are now open to it.
Partnerships and Agreements: strengthening our geographic footprint and enhancing our technology offering
IOV Labs ("IOV") - In January 2020, Coinsilium entered into a Strategic Investment Agreement and signed a Memorandum of
Understanding with IOV Labs, a Gibraltar registered company and parent to RSK, the developers of the first smart
contract platform secured by the Bitcoin network. IOV completed an investment of GBP250,001 by way of a private
placement in the Company, subscribing for 9,434,000 new ordinary shares of no-par value ("Ordinary Shares") at 2.65p
per share. In July 2020, Coinsilium announced an update regarding this Joint Venture Agreement (JVA) with IOV Labs to
establish a Joint Venture Company (JVC) in Singapore. Under this agreement, each shareholder holds 50% of the total
shares of the JVC at incorporation with the JVC financed by IOV by way of a loan which is to be repaid from the future
revenues of the JVC.
In December 2020, Coinsilium announced it completed a follow-on investment agreement with IOV Labs Ltd and an expansion
of the geographical scope of the IOV Labs Asia Joint Venture Company from regional to worldwide. IOV invested
GBP330,000 in Coinsilium by way of a private placement, subscribing for 11,000,000 new ordinary shares of no-par value
(the "Subscription Shares") at 3p per share. One warrant was subsequently issued for every two shares subscribed for,
with an exercise price of 4.5p per new ordinary share, and a life to expiry period of two years from the admission of
the Subscription Shares.
Indorse Pte. Ltd. ('Indorse'). In August 2020 Coinsilium announced its appointment as an advisor to Indorse in respect
to its forthcoming initiative to revive the token economics of its IND token through a new DeFi based model.
RedFOX Labs Joint Stock Company ("RedFOX"). In December 2020, Coinsilium was pleased to report that, in line with the
Company's new business development strategy, its wholly owned subsidiary Coinsilium (Gibraltar) Limited concluded a
Technical Development and Support Agreement with Vietnam-based RedFOX Labs Joint Stock Company ("RedFOX"), to support
the creation of a range of Virtual Asset and Digital Collectible marketplaces and to facilitate the trading of
Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) across various prospective market sectors.
The Gibraltar Philatelic Bureau Ltd. In December 2020, Coinsilium announced that it had concluded an agreement with The
Gibraltar Philatelic Bureau Ltd for the creation of a commemorative limited edition Cryptocurrency Postage Stamp to be
released in Q2 2021. The Crypto Postage Stamp is to be tied to the release of a blockchain based Digital Collectible,
or non-fungible token ('NFT') counterpart, to be exclusively produced by Coinsilium in collaboration with Vietnam-based
RedFOX Labs Joint Stock Company.
Other developments
In October 2020, Coinsilium's ordinary shares began cross-trading publicly on the OTCQB Venture Market ("OTCQB") in the
United States under the ticker symbol "CINGF". Coinsilium's shares had previously been quoted on Pink Open Markets
(also known as 'Pink Sheets'), which provided some measure of limited and restricted US trading. By upgrading the
listing of its shares to the OTCQB, these limits and restrictions have been removed, providing access to a new and
materially larger pool of prospective US investors.
On 29 December 2020, Coinsilium announced that it had agreed to sell 1,450,000 of its 6,130,000 ordinary shares that
are held in treasury, at 4.5 pence per share for gross proceeds of GBP65,250.
For the Group's and Company's 31 December 2020 financial statements, the COVID-19 outbreak and the related impacts are
considered non-adjusting events. There has been no significant disruption to the Group's and Company's activities to
date from COVID-19, although the Board continues to monitor any risk.
Post year end
Since the period end, significant progress has been made to consolidate Coinsilium's position within the NFT and Open
Finance spaces.
Nifty Labs Limited
In March 2021, the Group's wholly owned Gibraltar subsidiary, Terrastream Limited ('TerraStream'), entered into a
Memorandum of Understanding ('MoU') with Indorse Pte. Ltd. ('Indorse'), a Singapore company in which Coinsilium holds a
10% equity interest, to form a Partnership or Joint Venture in order to launch a Non-Fungible Token ('NFT') technology
development studio in Gibraltar. The partnership, to be based in Gibraltar and conducted through TerraStream, was
renamed 'Nifty Labs Limited' and trades under the commercial name 'Nifty Labs'. Additionally in March 2021, Coinsilium
announced that Nifty Labs and Indorse continue to advance discussions towards a formal agreement while the Company
agreed to provide Nifty Labs with an initial working capital and development facility of up to GBP250k. Whilst
discussions regarding the partnership remain ongoing, it has been agreed that, in the event that any commercial
agreements relating to in-house projects or prospective third-party clients are concluded ahead of the completion of
the Partnership Agreement, as an interim solution, such commercial agreements shall be undertaken with a provision for
a revenue share agreement between Nifty Labs and Indorse, the terms of which shall be established in each case.
In May 2021, Nifty Labs commenced development work on a new Non-Fungible Token ("NFT") project to create an 'NFT on
Bitcoin' marketplace platform powered by the RSK blockchain, the smart contract platform secured by the Bitcoin
network. Development work on an NFT marketplace platform has commenced and is expected to take 6 months to complete.
The initial focus of the marketplace will be on NFT use-cases such as digital art, music, sports, gaming and metaverse
assets. RSK is prioritising a token bridge build enabling the transfer and movement of RSK blockchain standard NFTs to
other blockchain standard NFTs, including Ethereum ERC721.

DJ Coinsilium Group Limited: Final Results for the -2-
A team of three software developers, one designer and a project manager have been deployed to work on the initial
commissioning and build phase.
When complete, the platform will incorporate various modules including an NFT minter, a gallery, and the capability to
trade NFTs for alternative RSK-based tokens. The marketplace is initially being built to host the most popular NFT
categories which currently include digital art, sports, music, gaming and metaverse assets such as parcels of virtual
land and 3D avatars. It is intended that the marketplace will have the capability to offer functionalities similar to
those available on other popular NFT marketplaces and with potential compatibility with NFTs on other platforms. Future
options may also include interoperability between various layer 1 and layer 2 blockchain protocols.
In April 2021, Indorse released the public alpha of 'Nifty Scanner', a digital asset analysis software solution for
Non-Fungible tokens (NFTs). Nifty Scanner is a browser extension and is now available on Google Chrome, Mozilla
Firefox, Opera and Brave which 'scans' Non-fungible Tokens ('NFTs') and provides detailed essential background
information on how and where the assets (the media and the metadata) associated with an NFT are stored. Currently,
Nifty Scanner is compatible with the OpenSea marketplace and will shortly be compatible with other popular marketplaces
as well.
Board
On 1 March 2021, Federica Velardo joined the Board as a Non-Executive Director of the Company with immediate effect.
Federica Velardo is a qualified solicitor in England and Wales and, having applied for dual qualification in Italy,
also practices Italian law. Her experience covers national and international transactions including advising and
assisting companies on sales, mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, investments, admissions to the AIM Market of
the London Stock Exchange, fundraising and general corporate-commercial advice. The Company also notes that Tony Sarin
has resigned as a Non-Executive Director with immediate effect. The Board wishes to thank him for his significant
contribution to the Company and his guidance and support to the Board provided over his six-year tenure, and to wish
him every success in all his on-going and future endeavours.
Other Developments
On 2 March 2021 Coinsilium announced that it has received notice from IOV Labs Limited (IOV) of the early exercise of
warrants over 5,500,00 new ordinary shares in the Company at a price of 4.5p for a total consideration of GBP247,500.
Following the exercise of the warrants, IOV Labs shareholding in Coinsilium increased from 20,434,000 to 25,934,000
ordinary shares representing an interest of 16.85% of the Company's outstanding shares at that time, excluding warrants
and treasury shares. Given the early exercise of the IOV warrants, approximately 21 months prior to expiry, the
Company agreed to award IOV with 5,500,000 replacement warrants exercisable at a price of 12p per share valid for two
years from the date of this announcement.
On 25 May 2021 Coinsilium successfully raised GBP1.155m gross of expenses through a share subscription and placement of
15,400,000 new ordinary shares of no par value ("Ordinary Shares") at a price of 7.5 pence per share (the "Placing
Shares") from existing and new shareholders. Each Placing Share has an attaching warrant to subscribe for a further
new ordinary share at an exercise price of 15p ("Warrants"), valid for two years from the date of issue. The funds
raised will primarily be used for strategic investment purposes, particularly in the Non-Fungible Token ("NFT") and
Open Finance sectors and to accelerate the Company's growth trajectory.
Outlook
Having undergone a strategic review during the course of the second half of 2020, the Company has emerged with a strong
focus on digital markets that are poised for significant growth. The opportunity going forward - particularly within
the NFT and Open Finance spaces - is significant and the Board remains confident in the Company's outlook. This
confidence is backed up by the series of announcements we have made particularly within the NFT space since our year
end.
While the Open Finance and NFT markets are in their infancy, our work to date has increases our confidence in the
Company's ability to generate credible revenue streams: the Gibraltar Crypto Stamp and the Gibraltar Genesis Collection
of NFTs have spotlighted our technology focus and capability within the area. While principally working pilots, they
have served to generate a broader interest that we aim to capitalise on. Therefore, we are looking forward to building
on their successes with a new NFT collection planned for the second half of 2021 and further collections over the
course of 2022.
Sales of NFT collections have a two fold impact on our ability to generate revenues: firstly, we will generate revenues
from the initial sale or 'drop' of the NFT; and then again from all secondary market trading activities (particularly
pertinent in respect of the rarer and more valuable digital assets) with the capability for programming into the smart
contract a commission or royalty on any subsequent trades.
Beyond this, we believe our wholly owned Nifty Labs subsidiary has the potential to generate significant value for the
Company. It is currently playing an integral role in the development of our marketplace - which is currently in the
build out phase - in conjunction with its partner, Indorse. The capability to develop a bespoke marketplace solution
not only showcases our tech development capability, it also allows us to create something that will be of benefit to
the wider blockchain ecosystem. The marketplace, once completed, will see us further capitalise on a structural
tailwind and trend in digital asset markets.
We are able to do this while looking forward from a secure financial position. All of our current operational
commitments are fully funded up to January 2022 and beyond. In May 2021 we raised additional capital of GBP1.155m to
accelerate the Company's growth trajectory. This provides us with a very significant financial base which means we can
continue to be strategically flexible and take an opportunistic approach to new developments and opportunities within
the rapidly developing NFT and Open Finance markets. It also allows us to continue to innovate - something we have a
proud history of - and leverage our partnerships, enabling us to remain at the forefront of the digital finance
markets.
Finally, the Board would like to thank all shareholders, partners and team members for their continued support and we
look forward to providing the market with regular progress updates at this exciting period for the Company and the
wider digital asset industry

2.1 Basis of preparation of Financial Statements
The Group and Company Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and IFRS Interpretations Committee (IFRS IC) interpretations as adopted by the European Union.
The Financial Statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for the measurement to fair value of certain financial assets and financial instruments as described in the accounting policies below.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group's Accounting Policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated Financial Statements are disclosed in Note 4.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
2.3 Basis of Consolidation
The Group Financial Statements consolidate the financial statements of Coinsilium Group Limited and the financial statements of all of its subsidiary undertakings made up to 31 December 2020.
Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the subsidiary and has the ability to affect those returns through its control over the entity. Where an entity does not have returns, the Group's power over the investee is assessed as to whether control is held. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.
Inter-company transactions, balances, and income and expenses on transactions between Group companies are eliminated. Profits and losses resulting from intercompany transactions that are recognised in assets are also eliminated. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
Investments in subsidiaries are stated at cost less provision for impairment.
2.4 Going Concern
As described in the Results and Dividends section of this Directors' Report, the Group has reported an operating gain for the year.
In considering the Group's ability to continue in operation for the foreseeable future, the Directors have considered the forecast operating cash-flows for the period up to the end of 30 June 2022, and all other related matters. This involved consideration of the cash flow implication of the budget.
