QWICK MEDIA INC.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2017 AND 2016
(Unaudited)
 (Stated in U.S. Dollars)

1.     BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of Qwick Media Inc. (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2017 included herein have been prepared without audit pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. It is suggested that these consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the December 31, 2016 audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. The operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any future quarter or the year ending December 31, 2017.
The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), and are expressed in US dollars. These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the accounts of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries, Qeyos Ad Systems Inc. (“Qeyos”), incorporated in British Columbia, Canada, and Wuxi Xun Fu Information Technology Co., Ltd. (“Wuxi”), incorporated in China. The Company’s fiscal year-end is December 31. Because a precise determination of many assets and liabilities is dependent upon future events, the preparation of financial statements for a period necessarily involves the use of estimates which have been made using careful judgement. The interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016.
The Company uses the same accounting policies and methods of computation as in the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the reporting period. Management evaluates estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The significant areas requiring management’s estimates and assumptions include the fair value of shares issued to settle debt, stock based compensation, valuation of accounts receivable and inventory, estimated life, amortization rates and impairment of long-lived assets, valuation allowance for income tax purposes, and fair value measurement of financial instruments.
Our reporting and functional currency is the U.S. dollar.  However, a substantial portion of the expenses of our operationg subsidiary Qeyos is denominated in Canadian dollars.  The value of Canadian currency against the U.S. dollar may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things, changes in the political and economic conditions in Canada.  Fluctuations in exchange rates, primarily thos involving the U.S. dollar, may affect the relative purchasing power of our working capital and our balance sheet and earnings per share in U.S. dollars.  In addition, appreciation or depreciation in the value of the foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar will affect our financial results reported in U.S. dollar terms without giving effect to any underlying change in our business or results of operations.


2.     NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN
a)    Organization
The Company is governed by the corporate laws of the Cayman Islands.  It is currently a reporting issuer in the Provinces of British Columbia and Ontario, Canada. The Company’s principal executive offices are located in Vancouver, British Columbia. Its registered office is in the Cayman Islands.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2017 AND 2016
(Unaudited)
 (Stated in U.S. Dollars)


2.            NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN (Continued)
The Company was incorporated on October 5, 2000 under the laws of the State of Nevada, and had since re-domiciled to the Cayman Islands and became a foreign private issuer with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
On April 19, 2011, the Company incorporated Wuxi, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, in China.
For all periods presented, all significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.
b)    Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern.
As shown in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred accumulated losses of $15,694,662 as at June 30, 2017. The future of the Company is dependent upon its ability to obtain adequate financing and upon future profitable operations. Management has plans to seek additional financing, potentially through private placements and the issuance of promissory notes, but there is no assurance that such financing will be available on acceptable terms or at all. This raises substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence.

7.     STOCK OPTIONS
The Company adopted a Stock Option Plan under which the Company can grant up to 7,112,846 common shares to its officers, directors, employees and consultants.
On June 7, 2017, the Company granted stock options to purchase an aggregate of 4,630,000 common shares of the Company to directors, officers, consultants and employees, at an exercise price of $0.10 per share.  These options were immediately vested and they expire on May 31, 2022.  The fair value of the stock options granted were estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, and the weighted average grant date fair value of stock options granted was $0.09.  During the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company recorded share-based compensation of $241,023 (2016 – $45,032) as consulting fees paid to directors and officers; and $77,700 (2016 - $Nil) as salaries, wages and benefits paid to employees.

8.     REDEEMABLE PREFERRED SHARES
On November 15, 2011, the Company created one series of the 100,000,000 preferred shares it is authorized to issue, consisting of 25,000,000 shares, to be designated as Class A Preferred Shares.
During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company completed a private placement with a company owned by the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, consisting of the issuance of 1,000,000 Class A Preferred Shares at a price of $1.00 per Class A Preferred Share for gross proceeds of $1,000,000, and converted the principal amount of a debenture and accrued interest thereon to the related party, into an aggregate of 1,027,945 Class A Preferred Shares, at a conversion price of $1.00 per Class A Preferred Share.
As at December 31, 2015, the holder of the Class A Preferred Shares agreed to not exercise the retractable rights to have the Company redeem the Class A Preferred Shares, for the next two years.
On December 30, 2016, the Company amended the rights and restrictions of the Class A Preferred Shares to remove the redemption rights of the holder and revise the conversion rights.  The principal terms of the Class A Preferred Shares are as follows:
Voting rights – The Class A Preferred Shares have voting rights (one vote per share) equal to those of the Company’s common shares.
Dividend rights – The Class A Preferred Shares carry a cumulative cash dividend of 10% of earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization per annum.  The accrued dividends payable are classified as interest expense in the statements of operations.
Conversion rights – The holders of the Class A Preferred Shares have the right to convert each Class A Preferred Share, from time to time, at the option of the holder, into three common shares of the Company.

8.     REDEEMABLE PREFERRED SHARES (Continued)
Redemption rights - At any time, the Company may redeem the Class A Preferred Shares for an amount equal to $1.00 per share plus the amount of any accrued and unpaid dividends thereon.
The Company had originally classified the Class A Preferred Shares as a liability because they are redeemable beyond the control of the Company.  As the modification of the Class A Preferred Shares added a substantive conversion option and removed the retractability feature, the Company has accounted for the modification as an extinguishment of the previous preferred stock and the issuance of new preferred stock.
The Company assessed the revised Class A Preferred Shares and concluded that they represented an equity host contract. The Company also concluded that conversion feature was clearly and closely related to the host contract and that the conversion feature was not beneficial.  The Company also assessed the redemption option and concluded that it did not meet the definition of a derivative.
Finally, the Company concluded that as the Class A Preferred Shares were no longer redeemable at the option of the holder that they should be classified as permanent equity.   The Company has determined that there was no difference between the fair value of the outstanding preferred shares and the modified preferred shares.  Upon the modification, the Company has reclassified the outstanding preferred shares from debt to permanent equity.
On December 30, 2016, the Company converted $7,863,855 of amounts owed to related parties into 7,863,855 Class A Preferred Shares at a price of $1.00 per Class A Preferred Share.
Effective December 30, 2016, accrued dividends payable to a director and his related holding company were waived.  The waiver was accepted by the Company’s Board of Directors as of December 30, 2016 such that the accrued dividends in the amount of $734,228 are discharged from the Company’s debt obligations.  As such dividends were expensed, the Company has recaptured an equivalent amount of other income in the amount of $734,228 effective December 30, 2016.
