1. Nature and Continuance of Operations and Going Concern

GreenPower Motor Company Inc. ("GreenPower" or the "Company") was incorporated in the Province of British Columbia on September 18, 2007. The Company is a manufacturer and distributor of purpose-built, all-electric, zero-emission medium and heavy-duty vehicles serving the cargo and delivery market, shuttle and transit space and school bus sector.

The corporate office is located at Suite 240 - 209 Carrall St., Vancouver, Canada.

These consolidated condensed interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as issued by the IASB. They do not include all disclosures that would otherwise be required in a complete set of financial statements and should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2023.

The Company's continuing operations are dependent upon its ability to raise capital and generate cash flows. As at December 31, 2023, the Company had a cash balance of $3,961,409, working capital, defined as current assets less current liabilities, of $19,428,489 accumulated deficit of $(72,454,151) and shareholder's equity of $18,052,671. These consolidated condensed interim financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent on future cash flows from operations including the successful sale and manufacture of electric vehicles to achieve a profitable level of operations and obtaining necessary financing to fund ongoing operations. The Company's ability to achieve its business objectives is subject to material uncertainty which casts substantial doubt upon the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management plans to address this material uncertainty by selling vehicles in inventory, collecting accounts receivable, utilizing the Company's operating line of credit and by seeking potential new sources of financing.

These consolidated condensed interim financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on February 12, 2024.

 

2. Material Accounting Policies

Basis of presentation

GreenPower has applied the same accounting policies and methods of computation in its Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements as in the annual audited financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2023, except for the following which either did not apply to the prior year or are amendments which apply for the current fiscal year.

2. Material Accounting Policies (Continued)

Adoption of accounting standards

Certain new accounting standards have been published by the IASB that are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023, as follows:

  •  IFRS 17 - Insurance Contracts
  •  IAS 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements and IFRS Practice Statement 2 (Disclosure of Accounting Policies)
  •  IAS 8 - Accounting policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors (Definition of Accounting Estimates)
  •  IAS 12 - Income taxes (Deferred tax related to assets and liabilities arising from a single transaction)

Amendments to these standards did not cause a change to the Company's financial statements.

Future accounting pronouncements

Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published by the IASB that are mandatory for the annual period beginning April 1, 2024. The Company has reviewed new and revised accounting pronouncements that have been issued but are not yet effective. The Company has not early adopted any of these standards and is currently evaluating the impact, if any, that these standards might have on its consolidated condensed interim financial statements.

7. Right of Use Assets and Lease Liabilities

The Company has recorded Right of Use Assets and Lease Liabilities in its consolidated statement of financial position for lease agreements that the Company has entered into that expire in more than one year at the inception of the leases. These leases are in a single class of Right of Use Assets, whose carrying value at December 31, 2023 was $4,316,884 (March 31, 2023 - $4,845,738).

Rental payments on the Right of Use Assets are discounted using an 8.0% rate of interest and capitalized on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as Lease Liabilities. The value of the Right of Use Assets is determined at lease inception and include the capitalized lease liabilities, incorporate upfront costs incurred and incentives received, and the value is depreciated over the term of the lease.

For the three months ended December 31, 2023 the Company incurred interest expense of $93,162 (2022 - $95,770) on the Lease Liabilities, recognized depreciation expense of $190,563 (2022 - $187,704) on the Right of Use Assets and made total rental payments of $256,458 (2022 - $91,993). For the nine months ended December 31, 2023, the Company incurred interest expense of $287,250 (2022 - $135,044) on the Lease Liabilities, recognized depreciation expense of $592,985 (2022 - $384,328) on the Right of Use Assets and made total rental payments of $789,796 (2022 - $315,751).

GreenPower entered into a Contract of Lease-Purchase with the South Charleston Development Authority for a property located in South Charleston, West Virginia during the year ended March 31, 2023. The terms of the lease required no cash up front and monthly lease payments that start May 1, 2023. GreenPower is eligible for up to $1,300,000 forgiveness on the lease, calculated on a pro-rata basis for the employment of up to 200 employees by December 31, 2024. GreenPower is also eligible for additional forgiveness of $500,000 for every 100 employees above the first 200. Title to the property will be transferred to GreenPower once total lease payments and the amount of the forgiveness reach $6.7 million. The lease liability recorded for this lease at lease inception was not reduced to reflect contingently forgivable amounts due to the uncertainty of the attainment of employment levels required to realize these lease liability reduction benefits at the inception of the lease.

The following table summarizes changes in Right of Use Assets between March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2023:

Right of Use Assets, March 31, 2023 $ 4,845,738

The term deposit has a term of one year and earns interest at a fixed rate of 4.9%. The surety bond was issued on June 28, 2023, has a term of one year and is automatically renewable for successive one-year terms unless cancelled by the bank with 45 days' notice or cancelled by the surety bond provider. The Company expects that the restricted deposit will be held as security for the standby letter of credit for a period of greater than one year.

 

10. Line of Credit

The Company's primary bank account denominated in US dollars is linked to its Line of Credit such that funds deposited to the bank account reduce the outstanding balance on the Line of Credit. As at December 31, 2023 the Company's Line of Credit had a credit limit of up to $8,000,000 (March 31, 2023 - $8,000,000). The Line of Credit bears interest at the bank's US Base Rate (December 31, 2023 - 9.0% plus 2.0% margin, March 31, 2023 - 8.0% plus 1.5% margin).

The Line of Credit is secured by a general floating charge on the Company's assets and the assets of one of its subsidiaries, and one of the Company's subsidiaries has provided a corporate guarantee. Two directors of the Company have provided personal guarantees for a total of $5,020,000. The Line of Credit contains customary business covenants such as maintenance of security, maintenance of corporate existence, and other covenants typical for a corporate operating line of credit, and the Line of Credit has one financial covenant, to maintain a current ratio greater than 1.2:1, for which the Company is in compliance as at December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2023. In addition, the availability of the credit limit over $5,000,000 is subject to margin requirements of a percentage of finished goods inventory and accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2023 the Company had a drawn balance of $7,686,591 (March 31, 2023 - $6,612,232) on the Line of Credit.

2023 Plan

Effective February 21, 2023, GreenPower adopted the 2023 Plan which was approved by shareholders at our AGM on March 28, 2023 in order to grant stock options or non-stock option awards to people in the United States. Under the 2023 Plan GreenPower can issue stock options that are considered incentive stock options, which are stock options that qualify for certain favorable tax treatment under U.S. tax laws. Nonqualified stock options are stock options that are not incentive stock options.

12. Stock options (continued)

The aggregate fair market value on the date of grant of Shares with respect to which incentive stock options are exercisable for the first time by an optionee subject to tax in the United States during any calendar year must not exceed US$100,000, or such other limit as may be prescribed by the Internal Revenue Code. Non-stock option awards mean a right granted to an award recipient under the 2023 Plan, which may include the grant of stock appreciation rights, restricted awards or other equity-based awards. No stock options have been issued under the 2023 Plan as at December 31, 2023.

2022 Plan

Effective April 19, 2022 GreenPower adopted the 2022 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2022 Plan"), which was further ratified on February 21, 2023, and which replaced the 2019 Plan. Under the 2022 Plan the Company can grant equity-based incentive awards in the form of stock options ("Options"), restricted share units ("RSUs"), performance share units ("PSUs") and deferred share units ("DSUs"). RSU's, DSU's and PSU's are collectively referred to as "Performance Based Awards". The 2022 Plan is a Rolling Plan for Options and a fixed-plan for Performance-Based Awards such that the aggregate number of Shares that: (i) may be issued upon the exercise or settlement of Options granted under the 2022 Plan (and all of the Company's other Security-Based Compensation Arrangements), shall not exceed 10% of the Company's issued and outstanding Shares from time to time, and (ii) may be issued in respect of Performance-Based Awards granted under the 2022 Plan (and all of the Company's other Security-Based Compensation Arrangements) shall not exceed 2,467,595. No performance-based awards have been issued as at December 31, 2023 or as at December 31, 2022. The 2022 Plan is considered an "evergreen" plan, since Options which have been exercised, cancelled, terminated, surrendered, forfeited or expired without being exercised shall be available for subsequent grants under the 2022 Plan and the number of awards available to grant increases as the number of issued and outstanding Shares increases.

Stock Option Plans from Prior Periods

On May 14, 2019, the Company replaced the 2016 Plan with a Rolling Stock Option Plan (the "2019 Plan"). Under the terms of the 2019 Plan, the aggregate number of Options that can be granted under the 2019 Plan cannot exceed ten (10%) of the total number of issued and outstanding Shares, calculated on a non-diluted basis. The exercise price of options granted under the 2019 Plan may not be less than the minimum prevailing price permitted by the TSXV policies with a maximum term of 10 years. On March 9, 2016, the shareholders approved the previous stock option plan which initially allowed for the issuance of up to 1,491,541 shares and which was subsequently further increased to allow up to 2,129,999 shares to be issued under the plan (the "2016 Plan"). Prior to the adoption of the 2016 Plan, the Company had adopted an incentive stock option plan (the "Plan"), whereby it could grant options to directors, officers, employees, and consultants of the Company.

14. Financial Instruments

The Company's financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable, promissory note receivable, finance lease receivables, restricted deposit, line of credit, loans payable to related parties, term loan, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, other liabilities and lease liabilities.

Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified into one of three levels in the fair value hierarchy according to the relative reliability of the inputs used to estimate the fair values. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:

Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities;

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liabilities either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3: Inputs that are not based on observable market data

The fair value of the Company's financial instruments approximates their carrying value, unless otherwise noted.

The Company has exposure to the following financial instrument-related risks.

Credit risk

The Company's exposure to credit risk is on its cash, accounts receivable, promissory note receivable, and on its finance lease receivables and restricted deposit. The maximum exposure to credit risk is their carrying amounts in the consolidated statement of Financial Position.

The Company's cash is comprised of cash bank balances. The Company's restricted deposit is an interest-bearing term deposit. Both cash and the restricted deposit are held in major financial institutions in Canada and the United States with a high credit quality and therefore the Company is exposed to minimal credit risk on these assets. The Company assesses the credit risk of its account receivable and finance lease receivables and promissory note receivable at each reporting period end and on an annual basis. As at December 31, 2023 three customers (December 31, 2022 - two) had accounts receivable balances that were more than 10% of the company's total accounts receivable balance, and collectively these customers represented 49.3% (December 31, 2022 - 53%) of the Company's accounts receivable balance. As at December 31, 2023 the Company recognized an allowance for credit losses against its accounts receivable of $329,743 and an allowance against Promissory Note Receivable of $131,089 (March 31, 2023 - $139,370 and nil) (Note 4).

14. Financial Instruments (continued)

During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2023 the Company recognized an impairment of $423,267 on finance leases. The impairment is related to a significant increase in credit risk associated with finance leases for five vehicles with one customer, and represents the lifetime expected credit loss on the finance lease receivable.

Liquidity risk

The Company tries to ensure that there is sufficient capital in order to meet short-term business requirements, after taking into account the Company's cash balances and available liquidity on the Company's $8 million operating line of credit. The Company's cash is invested in bank accounts at major financial institutions in Canada and the United States and is available on demand. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent on future cash flows from operations including the successful sale and manufacture of electric vehicles to achieve a profitable level of operations and obtaining necessary financing to fund ongoing operations. The Company's ability to achieve its business objectives is subject to material uncertainty which casts substantial doubt upon the Company's ability to continue as a going concern (Note 1). The Company will continue to rely on additional financings to further its operations and meet its capital requirements.

Market risks

Market risk is the risk of loss that may arise from changes in market factors such as interest rates and foreign exchange. The Company is exposed to interest rate risk with respect to its Line of Credit (Note 10). The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk as it conducts business in both the United States and Canada. Management monitors its foreign currency balances, but the Company does not engage in any hedging activities to reduce its foreign currency risk.

At December 31, 2023, the Company was exposed to currency risk through the following financial assets and liabilities in Canadian Dollars:

Cash $ 500,653  
Accounts Receivable $ 732,199  
Sales tax receivable $ 112,372  
Prepaids and deposits $ -  
Finance lease receivable $ 69,636  
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities $ (264,853 )
Related party loan and interest payable $ (3,670,000 )

14. Financial Instruments (continued)

The CDN/USD exchange rate as at December 31, 2023 was $0.7561 (March 31, 2023 - $0.7389). Based on the net exposure and assuming all other variables remain constant, a 10% change in the appreciation or depreciation of the Canadian dollar relative to the US dollar would result in a change of approximately $190,500 to net income/(loss).

17. Term Loan and Deferred Benefit of Government Assistance

As part of the acquisition of Lion Truck Body Inc. that closed on July 7, 2022, the Company agreed to assume a term loan from the seller, with principal outstanding of approximately $1.5 million as at December 31, 2023, an interest rate of 3.75%, a maturity in May 2050, and fixed monthly payments. The carrying value of the term loan is determined by discounting the remaining payments at a market rate of interest. The carrying value of the term loan as at December 31, 2023 is $609,250 (March 31, 2023 - $610,218). The below market rate of interest on the loan represents the deferred benefit of government assistance, the carrying value of which is $672,611 as at December 31, 2023 (March 31, 2023 - $686,341).

 

18. Warranty Liability

The Company generally provides its customers with a base warranty on its vehicles including those covering brake systems, lower-level components, fleet defect provisions and battery-related components. The majority of warranties cover periods of five years, with some variation depending on the contract. Management estimates the related provision for future warranty claims based on historical warranty claim information as well as recent trends that might suggest past cost information may differ from future claims. This assessment relies on estimates and assumptions about expenditures on future warranty claims.

It is expected that the Company will incur approximately $743,230 in warranty costs within the next twelve months, with disbursements for the remaining warranty liability incurred after this date. An accrual for expected future warranty expenditures is recognized in the period when the revenue is recognized from the associated vehicle sale and is expensed in Product Development Costs in the Company's Sales, general and administrative costs.
