Exro Technologies Inc.
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020
(Expressed in Canadian dollars - Unaudited)
1.NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Exro Technologies Inc. (“Exro” or the “Company”) is incorporated under the British Columbia Business Corporations Act. The ``Company’s shares are listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSX-V”) and trades under the symbol “EXRO”. The Company’s head office is located at 12–21 Highfield Circle S.E., Calgary, Alberta, T2G 5N6. The Company is working towards commercializing its patented coil driver technology and proprietary system architecture for power electronics, as well as the battery control system technology as stationary energy storage.
2.BASIS OF PREPARATION
(a)Statement of compliance
These condensed consolidated Interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34 “Interim Financial Reporting”. They do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited annual financial statements of Exro for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). These condensed consolidated interim financial statements follow the same accounting policies and methods of application as the annual financial statements of Exro for the year ended December 31, 2020.
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, DPM Technologies Inc. and Exro Technologies USA, Inc. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.
(b)Basis of measurement
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for certain financial instruments that have been measured at fair value.
The Company controls an investee if the Company has power over the investee; exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and the ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns. The Company re-assesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control. Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Company obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Company loses control of the subsidiary. Assets, liabilities, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in loss and comprehensive loss from the date that the Company gains control until the date that the Company ceases to control the subsidiary.
(c)Functional and presentation currency
These condensed consolidated Interim financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the Company’s functional and reporting currency.
3.SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a)Significant accounting policies
These consolidated condensed interim financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting policies and methods of computation consistent with those applied in the Company’s audited annual financial statement for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020.
(b)Financial instruments
All financial instruments are recorded at fair value on initial recognition.

Financial assets and liabilities
All financial assets are initially recorded at fair value plus directly attributable transaction costs. Non-equity instruments are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. The subsequent measurement of such financial assets and liabilities are carried at fair value, with changes recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss.
Financial assets and liabilities classified as amortized cost are subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a financial instrument and of allocating interest over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts or payments through the expected life of the financial assets and liabilities, or, where appropriate, a shorter period. Gains and losses are recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income when the assets are de-recognized or impaired.
Financial assets are assessed for impairment at each reporting date to determine whether there is any objective evidence that they are impaired, which would indicate one or more events have had a negative effect on the estimated future cash flows of the asset and will not be realized. For loans and receivables, the amount of impairment is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate. If there is impairment, the carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss. The loss is recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.
(c)Government assistance
Government assistance is recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the assistance will be received, and all related conditions are complied with. Government assistance received in respect of expenditures are credited to income, netted against the expense to which they relate. Government assistance in respect of long-term debts is credited to the carrying amount of the related liabilities and carried at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method.
4.INVESTMENTS
On February 9, 2021, the Company announced an extended strategic collaboration agreement with SEA Electric. As part of the agreement, Exro will invest US $5 million into SEA Electric by subscribing for 124,380 Series A Preferred Shares at a price of US$40.1995 per share. The shares are convertible into common shares of SEA at the option of Exro and automatically convert to common shares under certain conditions, including SEA completing a going public transaction.

9.FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
(a)Fair value
At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the carrying values of amounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and due to related parties approximate their fair values due to the relatively short period to maturity of those financial instruments. The Company measures its cash and investments at fair value.
The Company uses a fair value hierarchy to reflect the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
Level 1:Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2:Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices); and
Level 3:Inputs that are not based on observable market data.
The fair value of cash has been determined using Level 1 inputs. The fair value of the investments in private companies, which is a level 3 input, has been determined based primarily on recent trading activity.
(b)Financial risk management
The Company’s activities potentially expose it to a variety of financial risks, including credit risk, liquidity risk, and market risk.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the other party by failing to discharge an obligation. As at March 31, 2021, the Company’s exposure to credit risk is the carrying value of cash. The Company reduces its credit risk by holding its cash at a major Canadian financial institution.

For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020
(Expressed in Canadian dollars - Unaudited)
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that an entity will encounter difficulty in raising funds to meet commitments associated with financial instruments. To secure the additional capital necessary to pursue its plans, the Company intends to raise additional funds through equity or debt financing.
As at March 31, 2021, the Company had cash of $39.2 million and accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $1.9 million. All accounts payable and accrued liabilities are due within 90 days.
Market risk
Market risk consists of currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk. These are discussed further below.
Foreign exchange risk
Foreign exchange risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows will fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company has financial assets and financial liabilities denoted in US dollars and Euros and is therefore exposed to exchange rate fluctuations. At March 31, 2021, the Company had the equivalent of Can $22,517,639 in net financial assets denominated in US dollars and Can $35,432 in net financial liabilities denominated in Euros.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk consists of two components:
i)To the extent that payments made or received on the Company’s monetary assets and liabilities are affected by changes in the prevailing market interest rates, the Company is exposed to interest rate cash flow risk.
ii)To the extent that changes in prevailing market rates differ from the interest rate in the Company’s monetary assets and liabilities, the Company is exposed to interest rate price risk.
Current financial assets and financial liabilities are generally not exposed to interest rate risk because of their short-term nature and maturity.
Other price risk
Other price risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market prices, other than those arising from interest rate risk or currency risk. The Company has investments in Series A Preferred Shares of SEA Electric and is therefore exposed to other price risk.
10.CAPITAL DISCLOSURES
The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to ensure its ability to continue as a going concern in order to pursue the acquisition and development technology. The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management but rather relies on the expertise of the Company’s management to sustain future development of the business.
The Company is largely dependent upon external financings to fund activities. In order to carry out planned development and pay for administrative costs, the Company will spend its existing working and raise additional funds as needed. Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable.
There were no changes to the Company’s approach to capital management during the three months ended March 31, 2021. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital restrictions.
