2.Basis of presentation (continued)

 

c.Basis of consolidation:

 

(i)Subsidiaries

 

Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which the Company obtains control up to the date of the disposition of control. Control is achieved when the Company has power over the subsidiary, is exposed or has rights to variable returns from its involvement with the subsidiary and has the ability to use its power to affect its returns. For non-wholly owned subsidiaries over which the Company has control, the net assets attributable to outside equity shareholders are presented as “non-controlling interests” in the equity section of the consolidated statement of financial position. Net income or loss for the period that is attributable to the non-controlling interests is calculated based on the ownership of the non-controlling interest shareholders in the subsidiary.

 

Balances, transactions, income and expenses between the Company and its subsidiaries are eliminated on consolidation.

 

Details of the Company’s significant subsidiaries are as follows:

17.Tax equities

 

On June 20, 2023 (the “acquisition date”) the Company acquired 67% membership interest in Solar Alliance DevCo, an entity which owns and operates certain solar facilities in the US under subsidiaries that are set up as tax equity structures to finance the capital cost of the solar facilities.

 

Amounts paid by the Tax Equity Investors (“TEIs”) for their equity stakes are classified as liabilities on the consolidated statements of financial position and are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate (“EIR”) method. Amortized cost is affected by the allocation of ITCs (in tax equity assets), taxable income, and accelerated tax depreciation. Financing expenses represent the interest accretion using the EIR. The EIR of the tax equity was determined to be 9%, the loan value was $460,607 at acquisition date, with a maturity date (representing the expected flip point as estimated) of 2028 and the percentage of ownership of 99%, reflecting the allocation of taxable income or loss prior to the flip date. The corresponding tax equity asset acquired on acquisition date was $474,547.

 

Tax equity investors in US solar projects generally require sponsor guarantees as a condition to their investment. To support the tax equity investments, the Company executed guarantees indemnifying the tax equity investors against certain breaches of project level representations, warranties and covenants and other events. The Company believe these indemnifications cover matters which are substantially under its control and are unlikely to occur.

 

The Company recognized $3,964 and $7,827 related to ITC distribution as other income on the consolidated statements of income for the three and six months ended December 31, 2024 (2023: $12,990 and $25,783). $8,126 and $16,515 interest accretion was recognized for the three and six months ended December 31, 2024 (2023: $9,896 and $20,255)

18.Acquisitions

 

Solar Flow-Through Funds Ltd

 

On March 20, 2024, the Company entered into a definitive agreement with SFF to acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of SFF through a plan of arrangement for an aggregate consideration of issuance of up to 5,859,561 common shares of SolarBank (“SolarBank Shares”) for an aggregate purchase price of up to $41.8 million. The number of SolarBank Shares was determined using a 90 trading day volume weighted average trading price as of the date of the Agreement which is equal to $7.14 (the” Agreement Date VWAP”).

 

The consideration for the SFF Transaction consisted of an upfront payment of approximately 3,575,632 SolarBank Shares and a contingent payment representing up to an additional 2,283,929 SolarBank Shares that will be issued in the form of contingent value rights (“CVRs”). The SolarBank Shares underlying the CVRs will be issued once the final contract pricing terms have been determined between SFF, the Ontario IESO and the major suppliers for the SFF BESS portfolio and the binding terms of the debt financing for the BESS portfolio have been agreed (the “CVR Conditions”). On satisfaction of the CVR Conditions, the BESS portfolio shall be revalued and SolarBank shall then issue SolarBank Shares having an aggregate value that is equal to the lesser of (i) $16.31 million and (ii) the final valuation of the BESS portfolio determined by Evans & Evans, Inc. plus the sale proceeds of any portion of the BESS portfolio that may be sold, in either case divided by the Agreement Date VWAP. The maximum number of additional shares issued for the CVRs will be 2,283,929 SolarBank Shares.

 

The Company closed the acquisition of SFF on July 8, 2024.

 

On July 10, 2023, resolutions were passed at SFF’s special meetings of the limited partners, which included approval for SFF to pay past and current directors a success bonus in the aggregate amount of $1.3 million upon completion of a going public transaction. This payment will be paid in securities of SFF, cash or a combination thereof. After closing of SFF acquisition on July 8, 2024, the success bonus was approved and 41,707 SolarBank common shares (totalling $287,682) were issued to the SFF directors on October 7, 2024.

 

As at June 30, 2024, the Company held 15% equity interest in SFF valued at a total of $5,152,023. This investment did not provide the Company with significant influence over SFF, and as such, was classified as a financial asset at fair value through profit or loss.

 

For the period during July 8, 2024 – December 31, 2024, SFF contributed revenue of $4,975,621 and net loss of $1,808,171.

 

Had the acquisition occurred on July 1, 2024, management estimates that the consolidated revenue would have been $18,242,795 and net loss would have been $3,775,163 for the six months ended December 31, 2024.

19.Financial instruments

 

The Company as part of its operations carries financial instruments consisting of cash, trade and other receivables, unbilled revenue, derivative assets, investment, trade and other payables, loan payables, long-term debt, lease obligations, and other long-term liabilities.

 

(a)Fair value:

 

The Company’s financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are measured and recognized according to a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The three levels of fair value hierarchy are as follows:

 

Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability.

 

Level 3: Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

 

The Company has variable interest rate loans with interest rate swap to effectively hedge the floating rate term loans into fixed rate arrangements by receiving floating rate and paying fixed rate payments (Note 16(2)). The fair value of the interest rate swap is based on discounting estimate of future floating rate and fixed rate cash flows for the remaining term of the interest rate swap. The fair value estimate is subject to a credit risk adjustment that reflects the credit risk of the Company and of the counterparty. The fair value of the interest rate swap are determined using Level 2 inputs.

 

The carrying amounts of cash, short-term investments, trade and other receivables, unbilled revenue, trade and other payables and loan payable approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturities of these items. The carrying amounts of long term debt, lease liabilities and other long-term liabilities approximate their fair value as they are discounted at the current market rate of interest.

 

(b)Financial risk management:

 

(i)Credit risk and economic dependence:

 

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss associated with the counterparty’s inability to fulfill its payment obligations. The Company has no significant credit risk with its counterparties. The carrying amount of financial assets net of impairment, if any, represents the Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk.

 

The Company has assessed the creditworthiness of its trade and other receivables and amount determined the credit risk to be low. Receivables from projects are from reputable customers with past working relations with the Company. IPP revenues are due from local government utility with high creditworthiness. Cash and short-term investment have low credit risk as it is held by internationally recognized financial institutions.

 

(ii)Currency risk

 

The Company conducts business in Canada and United States and have subsidiaries operating in the same countries. The Company, and its subsidiaries, do not hold significant asset and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. As a result, the Company has low currency risk.

(iii)Concentration risk and economic dependence:

 

The outstanding accounts receivable balance is relatively concentrated with a few large customers representing majority of the value. See table below showing a few customers who account for over 10% of total revenue as well as customers who account for over 10% percentage of outstanding accounts receivable. Outstanding accounts payable balance is relatively concentrated with a few large customers representing majority of the value.

(iv)Liquidity risk:

 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due.

(v)Interest rate risk:

 

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company’s long-term loan, obtained from acquisition of OFIT GM, OFIT RT and SFF, have a fixed rate which is achieved by entering into interest rate swap agreement.

 

The Company held the Geddes loan which is subject to interest rate risk due to variable rate charged (Note 14). A change of 100 basis points in interest rates would have increased or decreased the interest amount (added to the loan principal balance) by $13,884 (June 30, 2024 - $13,100).

24.Segment Information

 

(a)Reportable segments

 

As a result of the acquisition of SFF earlier in the year, management has reassessed the determination of its operating and reportable segments. Effective December 31, 2024, the chief operating decision maker, the CEO, evaluates the Company’s financial performance and allocates capital resources based on the following operating and reportable segments: Development and EPC, IPP Production, and Corporate and other activities (previous reportable and operating segments were by geography). The comparative periods have been recast for the change in reportable segments.

 

Development and EPC consists of development and construction of solar photovoltaic power generation projects and BESS. IPP consists of the operation of solar photovoltaic power facilities. Corporate and other includes corporate activities and the operation and maintenance of power facilities, repairs and reinstallation of power facilities, and non-recurrent solar photovoltaic power generation project related work engaged by customers. None of these operating segments met the quantitative thresholds for reportable segments in fiscal year 2024 and 2025.
