Vision Marine Technologies Inc. 

 

Notes to the condensed interim consolidated financial statements

 

(Unaudited) 

November 30, 2023

  

1. Incorporation and nature of business

 

Vision Marine Technologies Inc. [the “Company”] was incorporated on August 29, 2012 and its principal business is to manufacture and sell or rent electric boats. The Voting Common Shares of the Company are listed under the trading symbol “VMAR” on Nasdaq.

 

The Company is incorporated in Canada and its head office and registered office is located at 730 Curé-Boivin boulevard, Boisbriand, Quebec, J7G 2A7.

 

Business seasonality

 

The Company’s operating results generally vary from quarter to quarter as a result of changes in general economic conditions and seasonal fluctuations, among other things, in each of its reportable segments. This means the Company’s results in one quarter are not necessarily indicative of how the Company will perform in a future quarter.

 

Sale of electric boats

 

The sale of electric boats segment has a seasonal aspect to its operations. Most customers purchase their electric boats from the Company with the intention of utilizing them during the summer period which typically runs from early June to late August and corresponds to the Company’s fourth quarter of a financial year. As such, the revenues in this operating segment fluctuate based on the level of boat deliveries, with a high and a low in the fourth quarter and the first quarter, respectively.

 

Rental of electric boats

 

Revenue generated by the rental of electric boats segment also has a seasonal aspect to its operations. Boat rental as an activity is highly sought by customers when the weather is milder, which is typically the case during the period from May to August. A colder-than-expected or rainier summer in any given year could have an impact on the segment’s revenues and hence on its profitability. Revenue from the boat club memberships is not impacted by seasonality as the memberships are typically on an annual basis.

 

2. Basis of preparation and going concern uncertainty

 

Compliance with IFRS

 

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements are for the three-month period ended November 30, 2023 and have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34: Interim Financial Reporting. They do not include all of the information required in annual financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended August 31, 2023.

 

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended August 31, 2023.

 

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements were authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors on January 12, 2024.

Going concern uncertainty

 

As of November 30, 2023, the Company has cash of $841,988 and working capital of $1,501,851. The Company has incurred recurring losses, has not yet achieved profitable operations and has a deficit of $50,523,608 since its inception. The cash flows from operations were negative for the three years ended August 31, 2023 as well as for the current three-month period ended November 30, 2023. Additional financing will be needed by the Company to fund its operations and to commercialize the E-Motion powertrain business. These matters, when considered in aggregate, indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for at least 12 months from the issuance of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements. In view of these matters, continuation as a going concern is dependent upon the continued operations of the Company which will be determined by the Company’s ability to meet its financial requirements, including its ability to raise additional capital.

 

The Company is evaluating several different strategies and is actively pursuing actions that are expected to increase its liquidity position, including, but not limited to, pursuing additional cost savings initiatives and seeking additional financing from both the public and private markets through the issuance of equity securities. For the three-month period ended November 30, 2023, the Company was able to raise net proceeds from issuance of shares of $1,781,194. However, the Company's management cannot provide assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its proposed financing plans. Management also cannot provide any assurance as to unforeseen circumstances that could occur within the next 12 months which could increase the Company’s need to raise additional capital on an immediate basis, which additional capital may not be available to the Company.

 

The accompanying condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes the Company will continue its operations for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. These condensed interim consolidated financial statements as at and for the three-month period ended November 30, 2023 do not include any adjustments to the carrying amounts and classification of assets, liabilities and reported expenses that may otherwise be required if the going concern basis was not appropriate. Such adjustments could be material.

 

Basis of measurement

 

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars and were prepared on a historical cost basis.

 

Basis of consolidation

 

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, and the subsidiaries that it controls. Control exists when the Company has the power over the subsidiary, when it is exposed or has rights to variable returns from its involvement with the subsidiary and when it has the ability to use its power to affect its returns. Subsidiaries that the Company controls are consolidated from the effective date of acquisition up to the effective date of disposal or loss of control.

Use of estimates and judgments

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Although these estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of the amount, event or actions, actual results ultimately may differ from those estimates. Areas where judgments, estimates and assumptions are considered significant to the condensed interim consolidated financial statements remain unchanged to the 2023 annual financial statements.

For the three months ended November 30, 2023, inventories recognized as an expense amounted to $550,864 [2022 – $693,715].

 

For the three months ended November 30, 2023, cost of sales includes depreciation of $72,630 [2022 – $174,926]. 

 

5. Investment in Limestone

 

On May 14, 2021, the Company subscribed for and purchased 3,400 senior unsecured subordinated convertible debentures of The Limestone Boat Company Limited [“Limestone”], a publicly traded company listed under the trading symbol "BOAT" on the TSX Venture Exchange [the "Debentures"], for an aggregate amount of $3,400,000.

 

The Debentures bore interest at a rate of 10% per annum, payable annually in arrears, and had a 36-month term [the “Term”]. The Debentures were convertible at any time at the option of the Company into common shares of Limestone [“Common Shares”] at a conversion price of $0.36 per Common Share [the “Conversion Price”]. If at any time following 120 days from the date of issuance of the Debentures [the “Closing Date“] and prior to the date that is 30 days prior to the end of the Term, the volume weighted average closing price of the Common Shares on the TSX Venture Exchange, or such other exchange on which the Common Shares may be listed, is equal to or higher than $0.50 per Common Share for 20 consecutive trading days, Limestone could have notified the Company that the Debentures will be automatically converted into Common Shares at the Conversion Price 30 days following the date of such notice.

 

The Investment in Limestone is carried at fair value through profit and loss and are considered as Level 2 financial instruments in the fair value hierarchy.

 

On January 20, 2023, Limestone announced that Limestone’s U.S. subsidiaries filed for voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Middle District of Tennessee. As a result, the Company recorded an impairment on the entire value of the Debentures at the amount $2,637,000 for the year ended August 31, 2023.

 

On July 18, 2023, the Company agreed to give Limestone the right to convert the Debentures into common shares of Limestone at a conversion price of $0.071, which was approved by the shareholders of Limestone and is awaiting the issuance of the Company’s shareholder certificate, following the exercise of the conversion right by Limestone. The Company maintained the fair value of its investment in Limestone at nil as at November 30, 2023 [August 31, 2023 – Nil].

 

For the three months ended November 30, 2023, the Company recorded a loss of nil [2022 – $109,667] in net finance income for the change in the fair value of the Investment in Limestone [note 18].

Description of the plan

 

The Company has a fixed option plan. The Company’s stock option plan is administered by the Board of Directors. Under the plan, the Company’s Board of Directors may grant stock options to employees, advisors and consultants, and designates the number of options and the share price pursuant to the new options, subject to applicable regulations. The options, when granted, will have an exercise price of no less than the estimated fair value of shares at the date of grant.

  

Stock options

 

On multiple grant dates, the Company granted stock options at exercise prices varying between $2.78 and $16.29 per share to directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company. The stock options will expire 5 to 10 years from the grant dates.

 

The Company recognizes share-based payments expense for option grants based on the fair value at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The share-based payments expense recognized for the three months ended November 30, 2023 amounts to $74,333 [2022 – $312,878]. The table below lists the assumptions used to determine the fair value of these option grants. Volatility is based on the historical share price volatility of the Company and other public companies with characteristics similar to the Company.

19. Fair value measurement and hierarchy

 

The fair value measurement of the Company’s financial and non-financial assets and liabilities utilizes market observable inputs and data as far as possible. Inputs used in determining fair value measurements are categorized into different levels based on how observable the inputs used in the valuation technique utilized are (the “fair value hierarchy”):

 

Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical items [unadjusted];
Level 2: Observable direct or indirect inputs other than Level 1 inputs; and
Level 3: Unobservable inputs [i.e., not derived from market data].

 

The classification of an item into the above levels is based on the lowest level of the inputs used that has a significant effect on the fair value measurement of the item. Transfers of items between levels are recognized in the period they occur.

 

The carrying amount of trade and other receivables, advances to/from related parties and trade and other payables are assumed to approximate their fair value due to their short-term nature.

The fair value of financial liabilities is estimated by discounting the remaining contractual maturities at the current market interest rate that is available for similar financial liabilities.

 

Classified as Level 2, the fair value of Debentures was estimated using the partial differential equation model to value convertible debentures that include a call feature. Key assumptions used in the model include volatility, which was based on actual trading data, difference in volatility since initial issuance of the instrument and similar instruments on the market, and credit spread, which was based on corporate bond yield spreads in the market and credit spread data for similar public companies. The model included a fair value adjustment based on an initial calibration exercise. During the three months ended February 28, 2023, the Company recorded an impairment loss on the Debentures based on the estimated recoverable amount of the financial asset [note 5].

 

The fair value of the derivative liabilities related to the warrants issued is classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy and is calculated using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model using the historical volatility of comparable companies as an estimate of future volatility, as well as the current market price of the Voting Common Shares. As at November 30, 2023, the Company used volatility of approximately 75% over the remaining contractual life in order to determine the fair value of the derivative liabilities. As at November 30, 2023, if the volatility used was increased by 10% the impact would be an increase of $225,000 to the derivative liabilities with a corresponding decrease in total comprehensive income. As at November 30, 2023, if the current market price of the Voting Common Shares increased by 10%, the impact would be an increase of $198,000 to the derivative liabilities with a corresponding decrease in total comprehensive income.

  

20. Segment information

 

The Company operates in two reportable business segments.

 

The two reportable business segments offer different products and services, require different processes and are based on how the financial information is produced internally for the purposes of monitoring operating results and making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment by the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker.

 

The following summary describes the operations of each of the Company’s reportable business segments:

 

·Sale of electric boats – manufacture of customized electric boats for consumer market and sale of boat parts maintenance, and
·Rental of electric boats – short-term rental operation and boat club membership.

 

Sales between segments are accounted for at prices that approximate fair value. No business segments have been aggregated to form the above reportable business segments.

23. Subsequent events

 

During the months of December 2023 and January 2024, the Company issued a total of 10,870 Voting Common Shares to third parties in exchange of sub-contracting services provided to the Company related to investor relations.

 

On December 4, 2023, the Company announced a strategic partnership with Blue Water Boat Rental, a leader in internal combustion engine boat rentals. The Company will provide 8 electric boats and share 50% of the revenue generated by the partnership. Blue Water will provide the personnel, sales and marketing, slips and dock space and other items.

 

On December 13, 2023, the Company authorized the issuance of new Series A Preferred Shares. This new class of shares will rank senior to the Voting Common Shares but retain no voting rights. They will have a stated value of US$1,000 per share and will be convertible into Voting Common Shares of the Company at the election of the holder at any time at a price of US$1.05 per share, exercise price subject to adjustment. The Series A Preferred Shares are convertible at the election of its holder into that number of Voting Common Shares determined by dividing the Series A stated value (plus any and all other amounts which may be owing in connection therewith) by the exercise price, subject to certain beneficial ownership limitations which prohibit any holder from converting into an amount of Voting Common Shares that would cause such holder to beneficially own more than 4.99% of the then outstanding Voting Common Shares). On the one-year anniversary of the original issuance date, the Series A Preferred Shares will automatically convert into Voting Common Shares at the lesser of the then exercise price, and 80% of the average volume-weighted average price of the Company’s Voting Common Shares during the five trading days ending on, and including, such date. In no event shall the conversion price for the Series A Preferred Shares be less than US$0.30, subject to adjustment herein.

 

Concurrently, the Company has agreed to reduce the exercise price of 2,922,935 of its previously issued warrants from US$4.05 and US$4.25 to US$1.05, which includes certain participating investors, who have entered into warrant amendment agreements with the Company.

 

On December 21, 2023, the Company issued 2,900 Series A Preferred Shares and warrants to purchase 2,761,904 Voting Common Shares as part of a private placement for a total cash consideration price of $3,254,227, net of transaction costs of $605,963. Investors were also granted an option to purchase up to an additional 2,900 shares of Series A Preferred Shares and up to an additional 2,761,904 Warrants for a period of six (6) months from the execution of the definitive securities purchase agreements. The warrants issued are to purchase 2,761,904 Voting Common Shares of the Company for a period of 5 years from the grant date at an exercise price at U.S. $1.05.

 

On January 10, 2024, the Company announced that the Government of Québec, through Investissement Québec, will subscribe for up to US$3 million in preferred shares of the Company.
