A2Z SMART TECHNOLOGIES CORP.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

(Expressed in thousands of US Dollars)

 

NOTE 1 – NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS

 

A2Z SMART TECHNOLOGIES CORP. (the “Company” or “A2ZST”) was incorporated on January 15, 2018 under the laws of British Columbia. The head office is located at 1600 – 609 Granville Street, Vancouver, British Columbia V7Y 1C3, and the records and registered office is located at 2200 HSBC Building 885 West Georgia Street, British Columbia, V6C 3E8.

 

The Company was listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) starting January 22, 2022, and trades under the symbol “AZ” and on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSX Venture”) and trades under the symbol “AZ.V”.

 

The Company owns 76.78% of the common shares of Cust2Mate Ltd (“Cust2Mate”), a technology company focused on providing retail automation solutions, in particular for large grocery stores and supermarkets. The Company’s primary product is the Cust2Mate system which incorporates a “smart cart” which automatically calculates the value of the customers purchases in their smart cart, without having to unload and reload their purchases at a customer checkout point.

 

The Cust2Mate system offers various features for shoppers and retailers such as product information and location, an on-cart scale to weigh items and automatically calculate costs, bar-code scanner and on-board payment system to bypass checkout lines. In addition, the product includes big data smart algorithms and computer vision capabilities, allowing for customer specific targeted advertising. (“The Cust2Mate Platform”).

 

The Cust2Mate Platform is being rolled out in Israel and is being marketed throughout the world, with pilot programs in North and South America, Europe and in the Middle East.

 

The Company’s other activities include the provision of services in the field of services to the military and security markets as well as the development of related products for the civilian markets. Such services include providing maintenance services and container leasing. The Company also provides maintenance services for complex electronic systems and products.

 

The Company, through its 80% owned subsidiary, Advanced Automotive Innovations Inc., (“AAI”) continues the development of a product for the automotive market - the FTICS or Fuel Tank Inertia Capsule System which activates automatically in the event of a vehicle collision. This eliminates the danger of fuel tank combustion thereby saving lives and reducing damage.

 

As of September 30, 2023, the Company had four key subsidiaries, all of which are companies incorporated under the laws of Israel: (1) Cust2mate Ltd. (“Cust2mate”); (2) A2Z Advanced Military Solutions Ltd (“A2Z MS”); (3) A2Z Advanced Solutions Ltd. (“A2Z AS”); and (4) Isramat Ltd., the “Subsidiaries”). On August 10, 2023, Cust2mate announced the launch of Cust2mate USA Inc. (Cust2mate USA”), a subsidiary incorporated on July 12, 2023, under the laws of Delaware.

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred recurring losses and negative cash flows from operating activities since inception, such that as of September 30, 2023, the Company had accumulated losses of $79,841 and a net loss in the amount of $13,853 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. As of the date of the issuance of these financial statements, the Company has not yet commenced generating sufficient revenues to fund its operations, and therefore depends on fundraising from new and existing investors to finance its activities.

 

Considering the above, the Company’s dependency on external funding for its operations raises a substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The condensed consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

 

After the balance sheet date, on October 7, 2023, an attack was launched against Israel by Hamas (a terror organization) which thrust Israel into a state of war (hereinafter: “The state of war”) in Israel and in the Gaza strip. Revenues in the Company’s Isramat division have decreased in October 2023, but the Company has not yet determined if this is due to the effects of the state of war. The Company is continuing with its operations both in Israel and globally. The Company continues to assess the effects of the state of war on its financial statements and business.

 

These Condensed Interim Consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on November 14, 2023.

NOTE 2 – BASIS OF PREPARATION

 

  1. Significant accounting policy

 

Statement of Compliance

 

These unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated financial statements of the Company are as of September 30, 2023, and presented in US dollars, which is not the functional currency. The functional currency is the NIS. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of International Accounting Standard IAS 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” as issued by the IASB. They do not include all the information required in annual financial statements in accordance with IFRS and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2022.

 

The policies applied in these Condensed Interim Consolidated financial statements are based on IFRS effective as of September 30, 2023, and are consistent with those included in the Company’s annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022.

 

Basis of Consolidation

 

The financial results of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. Intercompany balances and transactions and any unrealized income and expenses arising from such transactions are eliminated upon consolidation.

 

Basis of measurement

 

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, under the historical cost basis, except for financial instruments which have been measured at fair value.

 

  2. Critical Estimates and Assumptions

 

The preparation of the Company’s financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual outcomes could differ from these estimates. The Company’s financial statements include estimates which, by their nature, are uncertain. The impacts of such estimates are pervasive throughout the Company’s financial statements and may require accounting adjustments based on future occurrences. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised and also in future periods when the revision affects both current and future periods.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

(Expressed in thousands of US Dollars)

 

The functional currency for each of the Company’s subsidiaries is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the respective entity operates; the Company has determined the functional currency of each entity to be the New Israeli Shekel. Such determination involves certain judgements to identify the primary economic environment. The Company reconsiders the functional currency of its subsidiaries if there is a change in events and/or conditions which determine the primary economic environment. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, there have been no such changes. The Company’s presentation currency is the U.S. dollar.

 

The critical judgments and significant estimates in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements are the same as at December 31, 2022:

 

  a) The useful life of property and equipment

 

Property and equipment are amortized or depreciated over their useful lives. Useful lives are based on management’s estimates of the period that the assets will generate revenue, which are periodically reviewed for continued appropriateness. Changes to estimates can result in significant variations in the amounts charged to the consolidated statement of comprehensive income in specific periods.

 

  b) Determining the fair value of share-based payment transactions

 

The fair value of share-based payment transactions is determined upon initial recognition by the Binomial model. The Binomial model is based on share price and exercise price and assumptions regarding expected volatility, term of share option, dividend yield and risk-free interest rate.

 

  c) Intangible assets and goodwill

 

Intangible assets and goodwill are tested for impairment annually or more frequently if three is an indication of impairment. The carrying value of intangibles with definite lives is reviewed each reporting period to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If there are indications of impairment the impairment analysis is completed and if the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is impaired and impairment loss is recognized.

 

  d) Derivative liability – Warrants

 

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate fair value at each reporting date. The key assumptions used in the model are the expected future volatility in the price of the Company’s common shares, no par value per share (the “Common Shares”) and the expected life of the warrants.

 

  e) Going concern

 

In order to assess whether it is appropriate for the Company to continue as going concern, management is required to apply judgements and make estimates with regards to future cash flow projections. In arriving at this judgement there were several assumptions and estimates involved in calculating the future cash flow projections. These includes making estimates regarding the timing and amounts of future expenditures and the ability and timing to raising additional financing.

 

  3. New Accounting Standards

 

A number of amended standards became applicable for the current reporting period. The Company and its subsidiaries did not have to change its accounting policies or make retrospective adjustments as a result of adopting these amended standards:

 

1.Disclosure of Accounting Policies – Amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2

2.Definition of Accounting Estimates – Amendments to IAS 8

3.Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction – Amendments to IAS 12

NOTE 3 – WARRANT LIABILITY

 

  a)

June 2023 Warrants

 

On June 15 and on June 20, 2023, the Company issued an aggregate of 1,909,134 June 2023 Registered Direct Offerings Warrants (as defined below) as part of registered direct offerings (see also note 5(g)). The warrants were issued with an exercise price denominated in Canadian Dollars (CAD2.93) rather than the functional currency of the Company – New Israeli Shekels (NIS). The June 2023 Registered Direct Offerings Warrants are exercisable for a period of 2 years from the issue date. The Black-Scholes option pricing model was used to measure the warrant liability with the following assumptions: volatility of 99% using the historical prices of the Company, risk-free interest rate of 4.45%, expected life of 2.00 years and share price of CAD2.99.

 

Level 3 for the period ended on September 30, 2023:

 

Balance at January 1, 2023  $- 
Issuance of June 2023 Registered Direct Offerings Warrants   2,333 
      
Balance at June 30, 2023  $2,333 
Revaluation at September 30, 2023   (410)
Effect of changes in foreign exchange rates   (33)
      
Balance at September 30, 2023  $1,890 

 

For the three- and nine-month period ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded a gain on the revaluation of the June 2023 warrant liability in the amount of $410 and $410, respectively (for the three- and nine-month period ended September 30, 2022 - $nil and $nil, respectively).

 

  b)

March 2023 Warrants

 

On March 20, 2023, the Company issued an aggregate of 891,778 March 2023 Warrants (as defined below) as part of a private placement (see also note 5(f)).

NOTE 8 - FINANCIAL RISK FACTORS:

 

ECL and their measurement

 

ECL are measured as the unbiased probability-weighted present value of all cash shortfalls over the expected life of each financial asset. For receivables from financial services, ECL are mainly calculated with a statistical model using three major risk parameters: probability of default, loss given default and exposure at default. The estimation of these risk parameters incorporates all available relevant information, not only historical and current loss data, but also reasonable and supportable forward-looking information reflected by the future expectation factors. This information includes macroeconomic factors (e.g., gross domestic product growth, unemployment rate, cost performance index) and forecasts of future economic conditions. For receivables from financial services, these forecasts are performed using a scenario analysis (base case, adverse and optimistic scenarios).

 

As of September 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, ECL for trade and other account receivables are not material, and as such are not disclosed, in accordance IFRS 9.

 

NOTE 9 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

  a) During October 2023, the Company issued 121,666 Common Shares in respect of 121,666 RSUs that were exercised.
     
  b)

After the balance sheet date, on October 7, 2023, an attack was launched against Israel by Hamas (a terror organization) which thrust Israel into a state of war (hereinafter: “The state of war”) in Israel and in the Gaza strip. The Company is continuing with its operations both in Israel and globally. The Company continues to assess the effects of the state of war on its financial statements and business.

     
  c)

On November 9, 2023, the Company announced the approval of a plan by its Board of Directors (“Board”) to spin off its 80% interest in AAI.

 

As part of the restructuring, AAI is expected to become a publicly traded company, such that all shareholders in A2Z will receive an equivalent pro-rata shareholding in AAI. The Board has authorized the engagement of experienced legal, financial, tax, securities, and other consultants and auditors to oversee the entire restructuring process. The restructuring is subject to receipt of all corporate and shareholder approvals as well as receipt of all regulatory approvals including that of the TSX Venture Exchange. The Company anticipates that the restructuring will be completed by June 30, 2024.

 

AAI specializes in the automotive safety sector and is currently developing a groundbreaking “Fuel Tank Inertia Capsule System” (“FTICS”) designed to prevent fuel combustion in the event of a vehicle collision. AAI holds a patent with the U.S. Department of Commerce for FTICS and is actively working towards the commercialization of a product that can be seamlessly integrated into automobile gasoline tanks.
