REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and Directors of

Greenbriar Capital Corp.

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of Greenbriar Capital Corp. (the "Company"), as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the related consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss, changes in shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has no history of earning revenues from operations and has a net capital deficiency that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result fromthe outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firmregistered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over

financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatements of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.


Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising fromthe current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

Power project acquisition and development costs

As described in Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements, the carrying amount of the Company's largest cash-generating- unit, consisting of power project acquisition and development costs, was $6,163,504 and $5,699,836 and is a significant portion (59% and 53%) of the Company's total assets as at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. As discussed in notes 3 and 4 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company evaluates various qualitative factors in determining whether or not events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or group of assets may not be recoverable. During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company determined that no impairment was necessary.

Auditing the Company's impairment assessment involved our subjective judgment because, in determining whether any indicators of impairment occurred, management uses judgments that include, among others, assumptions about management's intentions and future permitting and development plans, the Company's ability to obtain the necessary permits and approvals, the ability to fund continued permitting and development activities, and market capitalization. Significant uncertainty exists with these assumptions. Further, management's evaluation of any new information indicating that continued permitting & development will not likely occur, required significant judgment.

To test the Company's impairment assessment, our audit procedures included, among others, assessing the Company's right to continue to advance the power project which included obtaining and assessing supporting documentation such as approvals

and final decisions fromPuerto Rican governmental authorities and inquiries of local legal and political consultants; evaluating the Company's ability and intent to carry out significant permitting and development activity; considering whether there was any other data or information that indicated the carrying amount of the capitalized power project would not be recovered in full from successful development or by sale; and assessing the adequacy of the associated disclosures in the financial statements.

Sage Ranch

As described in Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements, the carrying amount of the Company's second largest cash- generating-unit, consisting of development costs on the Company's Sage Ranch project, was $1,851,487 and $701,983 and is a significant portion (18% and 7%) of the Company's total assets as at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. As discussed in notes 3 and 4 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company evaluates various qualitative factors in determining whether or not events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or group of assets may not be recoverable. During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company determined that no impairment was necessary.

Auditing the Company's impairment assessment involved our subjective judgment because, in determining whether any

indicators of impairment occurred, management uses judgments that in clude, among others, assumptions about management's intentions and future permitting and development plans, the Company's ability to obtain the necessary permits and approvals, the ability to fund continued permitting and development activities, and market capitalization. Significant uncertainty exists with these assumptions. Further, management's evaluation of any new information indicating that continued permitting & development will not likely occur, required significant judgment.

To test the Company's impairment assessment, our audit procedures included, among others, assessing the Company's right to continue to advance Sage Ranch which included obtaining and assessing supporting documentation such as approvals and final decisions from local governmental authorities; the Company's ability and intent to carry out significant permitting and development activity; considering whether there was any other data or information that indicated the carrying amount of the capitalized Sage Ranch would not be recovered in full from successful development or by sale; and assessing the adequacy of the associated disclosures in the financial statements.


We have served as the Company's auditor since 2019.

Greenbriar Capital Corp.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020

(amounts expressed in Canadian dollars, except where indicated)

1 Nature of operations and going concern

Greenbriar Capital Corp. ("Greenbriar" or the "Company") is a leading developer of entry-level housing, renewable energy, green technology and sustainable investment projects. Greenbriar was incorporated under British Columbia Business Corporations Act on April 2, 2009 and is a real estate issuer on the TSX Venture Exchange. The Company registered records office is located at Suite 1120 - 625 Howe Street, Vancouver, BC, V6C 2T6. The Company is listed as a Tier 2 real estate issuer. The Company's shares trade on the exchange under the symbol "GRB".

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Company is a going concern, which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The nature of the Company's primary business is the acquisition, management, development, and possible sale of real estate and renewable energy projects. The Company had a loss of $9,325,226 (2020 - $3,145,139) for the year ended December 31, 2021, an accumulated deficit of $22,079,390 (December 31, 2020 - $12,754,164) and as at December 31, 2021, the Company has a working capital deficiency of $4,364,468 (December 31, 2020 - $1,400,212). To date, the Company has no history of earning revenues. If the Company is unable to raise any additional funds to undertake planned development, it could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition and cause significant doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If the going concern basis were not appropriate for these consolidated financial statements, then significant adjustments would be necessary in the carrying value of assets and liabilities, the reported expenses, and the classifications used in the statement of financial position.

In March 2020 the World Health Organization declared coronavirus COVID-19 a global pandemic. This contagious disease outbreak, which has continued to spread, and any related adverse public health developments, has adversely affected workforces, economies, and financial markets globally, potentially leading to an economic downturn. It is not possible for the Company to predict the duration or magnitude of the adverse results of the outbreak and its effects on the Company's business or results of operations at this time.

2 Basis of presentation

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") effective as December 31, 2021. The policies set out below were consistently applied to all periods presented.

These financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on May 2, 2022.

3 Significant accounting policies

Basis of presentation

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for certain financial instruments that are measured at fair values as described in the significant accounting policies. In addition, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information. All information is expressed in Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated and are prepared in accordance with the significant accounting policies outlined below.

Principles of consolidation

Subsidiaries

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Greenbriar and its subsidiaries. All intercompany balances, transactions, income and expenses, and profits or losses have been eliminated on consolidation. The Company consolidates where there is ability to exercise control. Control of an investee is defined to exist when the Company is exposed to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through the Company's power over the investee. Specifically, the Company controls an investee if and only if, it has all of the following: power over the investee (i.e., existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant activities of 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.

Joint Arrangements

A joint arrangement is defined as one over which two or more parties have joint control, which is the contractually agreed sharing of control over an arrangement. This exists only when the decisions about the relevant activities (being those that significantly affect the returns of the arrangement) require unanimous consent of the parties sharing control. There are two types of joint arrangement, joint operations ("JO") and joint ventures ("JV").


Greenbriar Capital Corp.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020

(amounts expressed in Canadian dollars, except where indicated)

JO is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to assets and obligations for the liabilities, relating to the arrangement. The Company has no JO's.

A JV is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the joint venture. The Company's investment in the JV is accounted for using the equity method. On acquisition, an equity method investment is initially recognized at cost. The carrying amount of equity method investments includes goodwill identified on acquisition, net of any accumulated impairment losses. The carrying amount of the investment is adjusted by the Company's share of post-acquisition net income or loss, depreciation, amortization or impairment of the fair value adjustments made at the date of acquisition, dividends, cash contributions and the Company's share of post acquisition movements in Other Comprehensive Income ("OCI").

Associates

An associate is an entity over which the investor has significant influence but not control and that is neither a subsidiary nor an interest in a joint arrangement. Significant influence is presumed to exist where the Company has between 20% and 50% of the voting rights, but can also arise where the Company has less than 20% if it has the power to be actively involved and influential in policy decisions affecting the entity. The Company does not have any investments in associates.

Foreign currency translation

The Company's functional and local currency is the Canadian dollar and its subsidiaries have a functional currency of the United States dollar.

Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the relevant functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at period-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in profit or loss.

Translation of subsidiary results into the presentation currency

The operating results and statements of financial position of the Company's subsidiaries are translated into the presentation currency as follows:

 Assets and liabilities for each statement of financial position presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of the statement of financial position;

 Income and expenses for each statement of loss and comprehensive loss are translated at average exchange rates, unless the average is not reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates; in which case income and expenses are translated at the rate on the dates of the transaction; and

 All resulting exchange differences are recognized directly in OCI and accumulated in the foreign currency translation reserve.

On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the transaction of the net investment in foreign entities are recognized in a separate component of equity, foreign currency translation reserve. When a foreign operation is sold, such exchange differences are reclassified to profit or loss on disposal.

Cash

Cash includes cash on deposit and short-term investments with a maturity at the date of purchase of 90 days or less.

The Company is in the premature stage of development with respect to its activities and accordingly follows the practice of capitalizing all costs related to the acquisition, environmental assessment, feasibility studies, security of property rights, financing, and initial construction. The costs will be amortized over the terms of the Power Purchasing Agreement (the "PPA") once the project commences commercial operations. The recoverability of the capitalized costs is dependent on the Company's ability to complete construction of the projects, meet its obligations under various agreements, and complete future operations and dispositions.

Option payments made by the Company are capitalized until the decision to exercise the option is made.

Financial instruments - recognition and measurements

(i) Non-derivative financial assets

On initial recognition, financial assets are recognized at fair value and are subsequently classified and measured at: (i) amortized cost; (ii) fair value through other comprehensive income ("FVOCI"); or (iii) fair value through profit or loss ("FVTPL"). The classification of financial assets is generally based on the business model in which a financial asset is managed and its contractual cash flow characteristics. A financial asset is measured at fair value net of transaction costs that are directly attributable to its acquisition except for financial assets at FVTPL where transaction costs are expensed. All financial assets not classified and measured at amortized cost or FVOCI are classified as FVTPL. On initial recognition of an equity instrument that is not held for trading, the Company may irrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in the investment's fair value in other comprehensive income/loss.

The classification determines the method by which the financial assets are carried on the statement of financial position subsequent to inception and how changes in value are recorded. Certain receivables are measured at amortized cost with subsequent impairments recognized in profit or loss. Cash and marketable securities are classified as FVTPL.

Impairment

An 'expected credit loss' impairment model applies which requires a loss allowance to be recognized based on expected credit losses. The estimated present value of future cash flows associated with the asset is determined and an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between this amount and the carrying amount as follows: the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to estimated present value of the future cash flows associated with the asset, discounted at the financial asset's original effective interest rate, either directly or through the use of an allowance account and the resulting loss is recognized in profit or loss for the period.

In a subsequent period, if the amount of the impairment loss related to financial assets measured at amortized cost decreases, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the investment at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortized cost would have been had the impairment not been recognized.

(ii) Non-derivative financial liabilities

Financial liabilities, other than derivatives, are initially recognized at fair value less directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequently, financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a financial liability and allocating the interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments through the expected life of the financial liability, or, where appropriate, a shorter period. The Company's accounts payable and accrued liabilities, convertible debentures and loan payable are measured at amortized cost.

Financial liabilities classified as FVTPL include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon recognition as FVTPL. Fair value changes on these liabilities are recognized in profit or loss.

(iii) Derivative financial instruments

Derivative financial instruments are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in profit or loss. Transaction costs are recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

Property held for development and sale

Capitalized costs for land under development and sale include costs of conversion and other costs relating to the development of the property.

Property held for development is recorded at the lower of cost and net realizable value.

Impairment of long-lived assets

The Company assessed at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required - when intangible assets are not yet available for use, the Company estimates the asset's recoverable amount.

The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's or cash-generating unit's fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. 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. For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of an asset, or its cash-generating unit, exceeds its recoverable amount. A cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets of groups of assets. Impairment losses are recognized in profit or loss.

Taxation

Income tax expense represents the sum of tax currently payable and deferred tax.

Current income tax

Current income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are substantively enacted at the end of each reporting period.

Deferred income tax

Deferred income tax is provided using the liability method on temporary differences, at the end of each reporting period, between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences, except:

 where the deferred income tax assets or liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and

 in respect of taxable or deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, where the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled by the parent, investor or venture and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred income tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilized.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilized. Unrecognized deferred income tax assets are reassessed at the end of each reporting period and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

Current and deferred income tax relating to items recognized in OCI or directly in equity is recognized in OCI or in the consolidated statements of changes in equity and not in profit or loss.

(amounts expressed in Canadian dollars, except where indicated)

Deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities are offset if, and only if, a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities which intend to either settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis, or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously, in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be settled or recovered.

Share-based payments

The Company accounts for share-based payment expense using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Accordingly, the fair value of the options at the date of grant is accrued with a corresponding credit to share-based payment reserves, and charged to earnings over the vesting period. If and when the stock options are exercised, the applicable amounts of equity compensation reserve are transferred to share capital. In situations where equity instruments are issued to non-employees and some or all of the goods or services received by the entity as consideration cannot be specifically identified, they are measured at fair value of the stock-based compensation. Otherwise, stock-based compensation is measured at the fair value of goods or services received.

Share capital

Common shares are classified as equity. Transaction costs directly attributable to the issue of common shares and share options are recognized as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects.

The Company has adopted a relative fair value method with respect to the measurement of shares and warrants issued as units. Under the relative fair value method, the Company first determines the fair values of the shares and warrants included in the units, then allocates the unit price based on the relative fair value of the instruments included in the unit. The Company considers the fair value of common shares issued in these types of transactions to be determined by the closing quoted bid price on the issuance date. The fair value of the warrants included is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Any fair value attributed to the warrants is recorded to reserves.

Provisions

Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) that has arisen as a result of a past event and it is probable that a future outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, provided that a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation using a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risk specific to the obligation. The increase in the provision due to passage of time is recognized as interest expense.

Income (loss) per share

Income (loss) per share is calculated based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. The Company follows the treasury stock method for the calculation of diluted loss per share. Under this method, dilution is calculated based upon the net number of common shares issued should "in-the-money" options and warrants be exercised and the proceeds be used to repurchase common shares at the average market price in the year. Dilution from convertible securities is calculated based on the number of shares to be issued after taking into account the reduction of the related after-tax interest expense.

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings per share is computed similar to basic loss per share except that the weighted average shares outstanding are increased to include additional shares from the assumed exercise of share options and warrants, if dilutive.

Segmented reporting

In identifying its operating segments, management generally follows the Company's activities. An operating segment is a component of the Company that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, including revenues and expenses that relate to transactions with any of the Company's other components. The operating results of the segments are reviewed regularly by the Company's Chief Executive Officer (who is considered the 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.

New accounting pronouncements not yet effective

The Company has not applied the following revised IFRS that has been issued but was not yet effective at December 31, 2021. This accounting standard is not currently expected to have a significant effect on the Company's accounting policies or financial statements.

IAS16, Property, Plant and Equipment - Proceeds before Intended Use (effective January 1, 2022). The amendment prohibits deducting from the cost of property, plant and equipment amounts received from selling items produced while preparing the asset for its intended use. Instead, a company will recognize such sale proceeds and related cost in the statement of loss and comprehensive loss.

4 Significant accounting estimates and judgments

The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments and estimates and form assumptions that affect the reporting amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its judgments and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. Management uses historical experience and various other factors it believes to be reasonable under the given circumstances as the basis for its judgments and estimates. Actual outcomes may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions. Revisions to estimates and the resulting effects on the carrying amounts of the Company's assets and liabilities are accounted for prospectively.

Areas that often require significant management estimates and judgment are as follows:

Share-based payments

Amounts recorded for share-based payments are subject to the inputs used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model, including estimates such as volatility, forfeiture, dividend yield and expected option life.

Tax

Uncertainties exist with respect to the interpretation of complex tax regulations and the amount and timing of future taxable income. Deferred tax assets are recognized for all unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable earnings will be available against which the losses can be utilized. Significant management judgment is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognized, based upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable earnings together with future tax planning strategies.

Functional currency

The functional currency for the Company and its subsidiaries is the currency of the primary economic environment in which each operates. The Company's functional and local currency is the Canadian dollar. The functional currency of the Company's subsidiaries is the US dollar. The determination of functional currency may require certain judgments to determent the primary economic environment. The Company reconsiders the functional currency used when there is a change in events and conditions which determined the primary economic environment.

Assets' carrying values and impairment charges

In determining carrying values and impairment charges the Company looks at recoverable amounts, defined as the higher of value in use or fair value less cost to sell in the case of assets, and at objective evidence that identifies significant or prolonged decline of fair value on financial assets indicating impairment. These determinations and their individual assumptions require that management make a decision based on the best available information at each reporting period.

Montalva Project

In April 2013, the Company entered into a 50/50 arrangement to create AG Solar with Alterra Power Corp ("Alterra") (the "Arrangement"). The Arrangement was created to develop 100 Megawatts ("MW's") of solar generation capacity in Puerto Rico under a Master Renewable Power Purchasing and Operating Agreement ("PPOA"), dated December 20, 2011, and amended on March 16, 2012 (the "Master Agreement"), with Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority ("PREPA") which the partnership through its wholly owned subsidiary, PBJL Energy Corporation, currently has rights to.

On July 12, 2013, the Company signed a Membership Interest Purchase and Sale Agreement ("MIPSA") with Magma Energy (U.S.) Corp. ("Magma"), a subsidiary of Alterra, and amended on October 11, 2013 whereby the Company will purchase from Alterra its 50% interest in and to the shares of AG Solar. The consideration was US $1.25 Million. The Company completed the MIPSA on September 12, 2014 (the "Acquisition Date"), the Company now owns 100% of AG .

Under the terms of the Master Agreement, the Company filed its 100 MW AC Montalva Solar Project with PREPA on September 5, 2013, requesting an interconnection evaluation and issuance of a project specific PPOA for Montalva. After numerous delays by PREPA and failed attempts by the Company through emails and correspondence to PREPA requesting the interconnection evaluation and issuance of a project specific PPOA for Montalva, the Company filed a Notice of Default under the Master Agreement with PREPA on September 24, 2014. PREPA responded to the Notice of Default on November 3, 2014, taking the position that it had other PPOAs issued that would exceed its system renewable capacity and could not accept any additional renewable projects and further had met its obligations under the Master Agreement.

On May 15, 2015, the Company, filed a legal action against PREPA in the courts of Puerto Rico in order to protect and enforce its rights under the Master Agreement. On September 9, 2016, the Superior Court of Puerto Rico denied an application by PREPA to have the case for contractual enforcement and damages dismissed. The Company may now proceed to have the court enforce the agreement, or in lieu of enforcement, direct PREPA to pay US $210 Million in monetary damages, or both. In May of 2018 the Company filed a US Federal RICO lawsuit seeking US $951 Million in damages from PREPA.

On February 6, 2019, the Company announced that PREPA wanted to re-open negotiations to move forward the Montalva Project. The Company has met with PREPA representatives in 2019 and the negotiations are ongoing.

On May 19, 2020, the Company announced that it has reached agreement with the PREPA on a 25-year PPOA for the development, construction, and operation of the Montalva solar project. On May 28, 2020, the Governing Board of PREPA approved the contract.

On August 7, 2020, the Company received unanimous approval from the Puerto Rico Energy Bureau and the Montalva PPOA moved on to final approval by the Puerto Puerto Rico Financial Oversight and Management Board (FOMB). On February 26, 2021, the FOMB approved two projects and excluded the approval of the Montalva project. The Company is in the process of seeking avenues to have the FOMB decision overturned or to have the FOMB approve the projects approved by PREPA.

In addition, the Company has submitted an application in the new Request for Proposal the FOMB asked the non-selected projects to apply to in case the above actions are unsuccessful.

Land Lease Agreements

The below Montalva and Lajas Farm Option Agreements provide for a land lease with a term of twenty-five years and may be extended for up to four additional consecutive periods of five years each, at the Company's option, for the purposes of the Company developing the Montalva project.

The Company entered into an option agreement dated September 9, 2013, which gives the Company the exclusive right and option to lease land in Puerto Rico (the "Montalva Option Agreement").

On various dates since execution of the land purchase option agreement, the parties have executed six separate amendments to extend the expiration date. On December 7, 2020, the Company entered into a further extension to December 31, 2021 to make option payments: US $20,000 within 30 days of signing of the agreement, additional US $20,000 within 30 days, but in no event prior to June 1, 2021, of signing by PPOA with PREPA.

The Lajas Farm option agreement is comprised of three separate lease agreements. On December 1, 2013, the Company entered into an option agreement with renewal options which gives the Company the exclusive right and option to lease an additional site in Puerto Rico for the Montalva Project ("Original Lajas Farm Option").

Loan payable N/A 647,762 647,762 846,214 846,214

Fair value

Financial instruments measured at fair value are grouped into Level 1 to 3 based on the degree to which fair value is observable:

Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
Level 2 - significant observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1
Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs

The Company did not move any instruments between levels of the fair value hierarchy during the year ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

The fair value of the related company loan receivable is considered to approximate its carrying value as it was only re-negotiated to a two year promissory note subsequent to year end and a portion therefore classified as long term. The remainder fair values of all financial instruments are considered to approximate their carrying values due to their short-term nature.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company is exposed to interest rates through the interest earned on cash balances, deposits, and loans; however, management does not believe this exposure is significant.

Credit risk

The Company is exposed to credit risk through its cash, which is held in large Canadian financial institutions with high credit rating, and other receivables. The Company believes the credit risk is insignificant. The Company's exposure is limited to amounts reported within the statement of financial position.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company manages liquidity risk through the management of its capital structure. In order to meet its financial obligations, the Company will need to generate cash flow from the sale or otherwise disposition of property or raise additional funds. The following table summarizes the remaining contractual maturities of the Company's financial liabilities and operating commitments:

    Less than 1 year     Over 1 year     Total  
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities $ 5,536,070   $ -   $ 5,536,070  
Loan payables   647,762     -     647,762  
Total $ 6,183,832   $ -   $ 6,183,832  

Foreign exchange risk

The Company operates in Canada and the United States and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from transactions denominated in foreign currencies.

The operating results and the financial position of the Company are reported in Canadian dollars. Fluctuations of the operating currencies in relation to the Canadian dollar will have an impact upon the reported results of the Company and may also affect the value of the Company's assets and liabilities.

The Company's financial assets and liabilities as at December 31, 2021 are denominated in Canadian Dollars and United States Dollars and are set out in the following table:

    Canadian Dollars     US Dollars     Total

(amounts expressed in Canadian dollars, except where indicated)

The Company's financial assets and liabilities as at December 31, 2020 are denominated in Canadian Dollars and United States Dollars and are set out in the following table:

    Canadian Dollars     US Dollars     Total  
Financial assets                  
Cash $ 47,802   $ (130 ) $ 47,672  
Other receivables   2,274     -     2,274  
Loan receivable   842,600     458,413     1,301,013  
Marketable securities   2,992,500     -     2,992,500  
    3,885,176     458,283     4,343,459  
Financial liabilities                  
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities   (1,060,455 )   (915,087 )   (1,975,542 )
Convertible debentures   (171,146 )   -     (171,146 )
Loan payable   (433,889 )   (412,325 )   (846,214 )
Net financial liabilities $ 2,219,686   $ (869,129 ) $ 1,350,557  

The Company's reported results will be affected by changes in the US dollar to Canadian dollar exchange rate. As of December 31, 2021, a 10% appreciation of the Canadian dollar relative to the US dollar would have decreased net financial liabilities by approximately $490,245 (December 31, 2020 - $86,913). A 10% depreciation of the US Dollar relative to the Canadian dollar would have had the equal but opposite effect. The Company has not entered into any agreements or purchased any instruments to hedge possible currency risk.

15 Capital management

The Company's objective when managing capital is to safeguard the Company's ability to continue as a going concern such that it can continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders. The primary use of capital will be used for the development of its properties and acquisitions.

The Company considers the items included in short-term loans and shareholders' equity as capital. The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions, business opportunity and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. In order to maintain or adjust its capital structure, the Company may issue new shares or return capital to its shareholders. The Company is not exposed to externally imposed capital requirements.

Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis. During the year ended December 31, 2021, there has been no change in the Company's management of capital policies.

16   Segment disclosures

The Company is primarily involved in the acquisition and development of wind and solar energy farms in the United States and renewable energy projects in Canada and has determined that its reportable operating segment is based on the fact that the Company's projects have the same economic characteristics and represent the manner in which the Company's chief decision maker views and evaluates the Company's business.

The Company currently has two geographic segments: Canada and the United States of America ("USA"). The head office operates in Canada and the Company's long-term assets are in the USA.

The Company has one reportable operating segment.
