Forward-looking statements

 

This MD&A contains forward-looking statements, including statements that relate to, among other things, revenue, purchase orders, revenue guidance of more than $60 million in FY 2025, order growth and customer demand in FY 2025, mass production schedules, funding from EXIM and the Company’s ability to finalize the loan facility from EXIM bank on a timely basis, the anticipated operational start schedule for the Company’s Jamestown facility, future business opportunities, use of proceeds, ability to deliver to customer requirements and revenue growth forecasts for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2025. Forward-looking statements can generally, but not always, be identified by the use of words such as “may”, “will”, “could”, “should”, “would”, “likely”, “possible”, “expect”, “intend”, “estimate”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “plan”, “objective” and “continue” (or the negative thereof) and words and expressions of similar import. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, assumptions and analyses made by the Company in light of the experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments and other factors it believes are appropriate are necessarily applied in making forward looking statements and such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, therefore actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied in such statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. Material assumptions made in disclosing the forward-looking statements included in the news release include, but are not limited to assumptions that the Company’s customers will deploy its products in accordance with communicated timing and volumes, that the Company’s customers will complete new distribution centers in accordance with communicated expectations, intentions and plans, the sum of anticipated new orders in FY 2025 based on customers’ historical patterns and additional demand communicated to the Company and its partners but not yet provided as a purchase order with the Company’s current firm purchase order backlog totaling approximately $80 million, a discount of approximately 25% used in the revenue modeling applied to the overall expected order pipeline to account for potential delays in customer orders, expected decreases in input and material costs combined with stable selling prices in FY 2025, and a stable political climate with respect to exports from Canada to the United States, the start up time for manufacturing in Jamestown NY of H1 CY 2026, the ability to leverage IRA45X credits, the ability to receive incentives from the state of New York, the ability to improve margins from domestic manufacturing, and the ability to attract additional customers through domestic manufacturing. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from expectations include but are not limited to customers not placing orders roughly in accordance with historical ordering patterns and communicated intentions resulting in annual revenue in FY 2025 in a total amount of at least $60 million, the imposition of a new tariff regime on Canadian exports by the United States, macroeconomic effects on the Company and its business and on the lithium battery industry generally, the Company’s liquidity and cash availability in excess of its operational requirements, and the ability to generate and sustain sales orders. Additional information about material factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from expectations and about material factors or assumptions applied in making forward-looking statements may be found in the Company’s Annual Information Form for the year ended September 30, 2023 under “Risk Factors”, in the Company’s base shelf prospectus dated September 17, 2024, and in the Company’s most recent annual and interim Management’s Discussion and Analysis under “Qualitative And Quantitative Disclosures about Risk and Uncertainties” as well as in other public disclosure documents filed with Canadian securities regulatory authorities. The Company does not undertake any obligation to update publicly or to revise any of the forward-looking statements contained in this document, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

The revenue for the periods described herein constitute future-oriented financial information and financial outlooks (collectively, “FOFI”), and generally, is, without limitation, based on the assumptions and subject to the risks set out above under “Forward-Looking Statements”. Although management believes such assumptions to be reasonable, a number of such assumptions are beyond the Company’s control and there can be no assurance that the assumptions made in preparing the FOFI will prove accurate. FOFI is provided for the purpose of providing information about management’s current expectations and plans relating to the Company’s future performance, and may not be appropriate for other purposes.

 

The FOFI does not purport to present the Company’s financial condition in accordance with IFRS, and it is expected that there may be differences between audited results and preliminary results, and the differences may be material. The inclusion of the FOFI in this news release disclosure should not be regarded as an indication that the Company considers the FOFI to be a reliable prediction of future events, and the FOFI should not be relied upon as such.

ELECTROVAYA INC.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

1.OUR BUSINESS

 

Electrovaya Inc. designs, develops and manufactures directly or through out-sourced manufacturing lithium ion batteries and battery systems that feature unique proprietary technologies that enhance safety and longevity performance. Electrovaya’s products are primarily used in heavy duty applications including Material Handling Electric Vehicles (“MHEV”), robotics, construction and mining vehicles, energy storage systems and other speciality and mission critical battery applications. Our main businesses include:

 

(a)lithium-ion battery systems to power MHEV including fork-lifts.

 

(b)lithium-ion batteries for robotic applications.

 

(c)high voltage battery systems for electric bus, truck, mining and defense applications; and,

 

(d)industrial products for energy storage.

 

The Company has a battery and battery systems research and manufacturing facility in Mississauga, Ontario at 6688 Kitimat Road. The location, which comprises approximately 62,000 square feet, is designed to enhance the Company’s productivity and efficiency. The Company also owns a 52 acre site including a 137,000 square foot manufacturing site at 1 Precision Way in Jamestown New York. This site is intended to be Electrovaya’s US headquarters and a key manufacturing hub. For further information, see “Liquidity and Capital Resources”. The Company has operating personnel in both Canada and the USA.

 

Electrovaya has a team of mechanical, electrical, electronic, battery, electrochemical, materials and system engineers able to give clients a “complete solution” for their energy and power requirements. Electrovaya also has substantial intellectual property in the lithium-ion battery sector.

 

Management believes that our battery and battery systems contain a unique combination of characteristics that enable us to offer battery solutions that are safer and exhibit increased longevity when compared to competing lithium ion and non-lithium-ion battery technologies. These characteristics include:

 

Safety: We believe our batteries provide a high level of safety in a lithium-ion battery. Electrovaya’s lithium-ion ceramic technology (Infinity Series) has demonstrated improved safety over competing technologies. Electrovaya has completed UL2580 certification on a wide variety of battery systems along with its lithium-ion cells. Safety in lithium-ion batteries is becoming an important performance factor and Original Equipment Manufacturers (“OEMs”) and users of lithium-ion batteries prefer to have the highest level of safety possible in lithium-ion batteries.

 

 

5 | Page 

 

 

Longevity: Our cells are in the forefront of battery manufacturers with respect to cycle-life, with excellent rate capabilities. Cycle-life is generally controlled by the parasitic reactions inside the cell and these reactions have to be reduced in order to deliver industry leading cycle-life. Higher cycle-life is of importance in many intensive applications of lithium-ion batteries.

 

Energy and Power: Our batteries give industry leading combination of energy and power and can be application specific.

 

Battery Management System: Our Battery Management System (“BMS”) has developed over the years and provides excellent control and monitoring of the battery with advanced features as well as communication to many chargers, electric vehicles and other devices.

 

2.OUR STRATEGY

 

We have developed a highly proprietary and specialized lithium-ion technology that provides superior cycle life and safety. Given these advantages, the Company is focused on applications where those two performances differentiators provide the greatest benefits which has led to a focus on heavy duty and mission critical applications. These often require battery systems to provide around the clock operational capability, longer life and better safety and include material handling, robotics, transit, aerospace and other intensive electrified applications. We developed cells, modules, battery management systems, software and firmware necessary to deliver systems for these intensive applications. We also developed supply chains which can produce needed components including separators, electrolytes with appropriate additives, cells and cell assembly, modules, electronic boards, electrical and mechanical components as needed for our battery systems. Our goal is to utilize our battery and systems technology to develop and commercialize mass-production levels of battery systems for our targeted end markets.

 

To achieve these strategic objectives, we intend to:

 

Establish global strategic relationships in order to broaden the market potential of our products and services;

 

Develop and commercialize leading-edge technology for heavy duty and mission critical electrified applications, as well as partnering with key large organizations to bring them to market;

 

Invest in research and development initiatives related to new technologies that reduce the costs of our products, but enhance the operating performance, of our current and future products; and,

Our margin varies from period to period due to a number of factors including the product mix, special customer pricing, material cost, shipping costs and foreign exchange movement. In the current fiscal year, we have been able to take advantage of strong operational efficiencies and some economies of scale to help improve margins. The Company continues to monitor gross margin closely and has implemented measures to increase it for fiscal year 2025.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Operating expenses include:

 

Research and Development (“R&D”): Research and development expenses consist primarily of compensation and premises costs for research and development personnel and activities, including independent contractors and consultants, and direct materials;

Government Assistance: The company applied for and received funding from the Industrial Research Assistance Program during the year;

Sales and Marketing: Sales and marketing expenses are comprised of the salaries and benefits of sales and marketing personnel, marketing activities, advertising and other costs associated with the sales of Electrovaya’s product lines;

General and Administrative: General and administrative expenses include salaries and benefits for corporate personnel, insurance, professional fees, reserves for bad debts and facilities expenses. The Company’s corporate administrative staff includes its executive officers and employees engaged in business development, financial planning and control, legal affairs, human resources and information technology;

Stock based compensation: Recognizes the value based on Black-Scholes option pricing model of stock based compensation expensed over the relevant vesting period;

Depreciation and Amortization: Expenses relating to the depreciation and amortization of capital equipment, leasehold improvements and other assets.

 

Total operating expenses are $12.96 million compared to $10.65 million for the years ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023 respectively, an increase of $2.31 million or 21.7%. Within the year, R&D expenses decreased by $0.34 million which is not a significant change from earlier reporting period and emphasises the Company’s consistent commitment to address the growing number of projects with our OEM partner, the engineering requirements of additional sales verticals, and on-going research in the areas of solid-state batteries, electrode manufacturing and higher energy density batteries. The R&D expense will vary period to period as staff are utilized in R&D or production activities.

 

 

12 | Page 

 

 

Other movements in the year included a decrease to government assistance of $0.1 million, an increase in sales & marketing costs of $1.04 million, being costs associated with additional sales verticals and an increase in general & administrative costs of $0.25 million. Stock based compensation increased significantly in 2024 by $1.0 million due to the recognition of options granted with special market conditions. Although these market conditions have yet to be met, the options are recognised based on the valuation under the Monte Carlo option pricing model. As a result of this calculation, an additional $1.0 million was recognised in 2024, compared to $0.7 million in 2023 and $3.4 million in 2022.

 

Net Loss

 

The net loss increased marginally to $1.485 million from a net loss of $1.479 million for the years ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023 respectively. The Company experienced favourable movements in exchange rates and recognised a foreign exchange gain of $0.15 million, compared to the loss of $0.89 million in the prior year.

 

Key Performance Indicators

 

In addition to operating results and financial information described above, management reviews the following measures (which are not measures defined under IFRS):

 

Adjusted EBITDA1 

(Expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars)

 

   Year Ended September 30, 
   2024   2023   2022 
Income (Loss) from operations   729    1,203    (7,269)
Less: Stock based compensation   2,155    1,167    3,223 
  Depreciation and amortization   1,209    907    503 
                  
  Adjusted EBITDA1   4,093    3,277    (3,543)
  Adjusted EBITDA1 %   9%   7%   -22%

 

1 Non-IFRS Measure: Adjusted EBITDA is defined as profit/(loss) from operations, plus stock-based compensation costs and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA does not have a standardized meaning under IFRS. We believe that certain investors and analysts use Adjusted EBITDA to measure the performance of the business and is an accepted measure of financial performance in our industry. It is not a measure of financial performance under IFRS and may not be defined and calculated in the same manner by other companies and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to Income (loss) from operations.

 

 

13 | Page 

 

 

Adjusted EBITDA1 increased by $0.8 million from the 2023 figure, and $7.6 million from the 2022 figure. The main driver of the improvement is an increase in revenue, efficiency in manufacturing improving gross margins and a larger portion of operating expenses being non cash such as stock-based compensation. Adjusted EBITDA for Q4 was $1.5 million, and management is focused on maintaining this trend in 2025.

 

Adjusted EBITDA1 will improve primarily through increased sales, maintaining gross margin percentage and controlling operating expenses. We continue our efforts for sales growth, control of manufacturing costs and reduction operating expenses.

For the three-month period ended September 30, 2024, total revenue was $11.6 million. This quarterly revenue was $4.9 million lower than Q4 FY2023. The decrease is mostly attributable to timing of production, with approx. $4.5 million of batteries completed in Q3 2023, being recognised in Q4 2023. There was no such timing difference in Q4 2024.

 

In line with the movement in revenue, gross margin decreased by $1.5 million to $3.0 million for Q4 2024 from $4.5 million for Q4 2023. The timing impact on gross margins of batteries manufactured in Q3 2023 but recognised in Q4 2023, was $1.3 million. The gross margin percentage also decreased to 25.8%, compared to 27.6% in the prior year. Gross margin is affected by a number of factors including the product mix, special customer pricing, material costs, shipping costs and foreign exchange movement. This can have a direct impact on the gross margin on a quarterly basis. The Company is striving to further improve gross margins for fiscal year 2025.

 

Total operating expenses for Q4 2024 decreased to $2.3 million as compared to $2.7 million for Q4 2023, a decrease of $0.4 million. In comparison to the prior year, research and development and general and administrative costs both decreased by $0.8 million and $0.2 million respectively. Sales and marketing costs and stock-based compensation both increased by $0.3 million and $0.4 million respectively.

1 Non-IFRS Measure: Adjusted EBITDA is defined as profit/loss from operations, plus stock-based compensation costs and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA does not have a standardized meaning under IFRS. We believe that certain investors and analysts use Adjusted EBITDA to measure the performance of the business and is an accepted measure of financial performance in our industry. It is not a measure of financial performance under IFRS and may not be defined and calculated in the same manner by other companies and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to Income (loss) from operations.

Quarterly Adjusted EBITDA shows an improving trend from fiscal 2023 to fiscal 2024, driven by increased revenue and operational efficiencies.

Quarterly Revenue and Seasonality

 

In recent periods, revenue has been weighted towards the second half of the fiscal year, and management expects this trend to continue.

 

The lithium-ion forklift battery has a long sales cycle as many customers are large companies, the technology is relatively new to the forklift market, and customers need time to familiarize themselves with and validate the benefits as compared to the incumbent technology of lead acid batteries. In some cases, the process involves receiving a demonstrator battery for testing and trial. This causes a somewhat long and “lumpy”, or uneven, sales cycle. As customers become more comfortable with the product and place repeat orders, it is management’s view that the sales will grow in a more predictable and consistent fashion.

5.LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

During the year ended September 30, 2024, the Company generated cash from operations of $1.04 million (September 30, 2023: $(5.23 million). As of September 30, 2024, the Company has working capital of $0.89 million (September 30, 2023: $(0.71) million) and a net loss of $1.49 million (2023: $1.48 million).

 

The Company currently has a revolving facility with its existing lender with a limit of C$22 million and a maturity date of July 29, 2025. The Company has a long-standing relationship with this lender and has renewed the facility each year. The Company is also exploring alternative financing options to replace this facility.

 

The Company is also anticipating the planned construction of its gigafactory in Jamestown, New York (the “Gigafactory”), and has been able to secure financing for the same. This includes a direct loan of $50.8 million from The Export-Import Bank of the United States (EXIM) which was approved on November 14, 2024. The Company has also secured support from the State of New York including $2 million in grants and $4.5 million in refundable tax credits. The first phase of construction is expected to take place within the existing 135,000 square foot manufacturing facility for the production of cells and batteries, with an estimated capital expenditure of approximately US$50 million.

 

In assessing whether the going concern assumption was appropriate, management took into account all relevant information available about the future, which was at least, but not limited to, the twelve-month period following September 30, 2024. The Company and its Board of Directors have implemented various operating and financing strategies.

 

Further, the Company continuously aims to improve its manufacturing process, equipment and facilities. The Company also anticipates gross margins to improve or remain consistent in fiscal year 2025 due to decreasing costs of key materials including but not limited to cell materials, separators, and other high value items. These anticipated improved margins, when combined with expected overall sales growth should result in improved overall financial performance.

 

At September 30,2024, the Company has the following contractual debt obligations:

 

Year of Payment Obligation   $ 
2025    17,928 
2026    786 
2027    763 
2028    798

Please refer to note 16 to the September 30, 2024 Financial Statements for details on related party transactions.

 

9.CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

 

The Company’s management makes judgments in the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements. In addition, the preparation of financial information requires that the Company’s management make assumptions and estimates of effects of uncertain future events on the carrying amounts of the Company’s assets and liabilities at the end of the reporting period and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates as the estimation process is inherently uncertain. Estimates are reviewed on an ongoing basis based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant under the circumstances. Revisions to estimates and the resulting effects on the carrying amounts of the Company’s assets and liabilities are accounted for prospectively.

 

The critical judgments, estimates and assumptions applied in the preparation of Company’s financial information are reflected in Note 3 of the Company’s September 30, 2024, consolidated financial statements.

 

10.CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

Our accounting policies and information on the adoption and impact of new and revised accounting standards the Company was required to adopt are disclosed in Note 4 of our consolidated financial statements and their related notes for the year ended September 30, 2024.

 

11.FINANCIAL AND OTHER INSTRUMENTS

 

Please refer to note 20 of the September 30, 2024, Financial Statements for details of Financial and Other Instruments.

 

12.DISCLOSURE CONTROLS

 

We have established disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under securities legislation is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in such rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer (who are our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, respectively) as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met.

 

 

21 | Page 

 

 

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation and as described below under “Internal Control over Financial Reporting”, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2024.

 

13.INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the CEO and the CFO and effected by the Board of Directors, management and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS.

 

Our management, including our CEO and CFO, believes that any disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, they cannot provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been prevented or detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by unauthorized override of the control. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Accordingly, because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud might occur and not be detected.

 

Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting on September 30, 2024, based on the criteria set forth in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission as published in 2013, and determined that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective. Also, management determined there were no material weaknesses in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting on September 30, 2024.

 

14.QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

 

The Company may be exposed to risks of varying degrees of significance which could affect its ability to achieve its strategic objectives. The main objectives of the Company’s risk management processes are to ensure that the risks are properly identified and that the capital base is adequate in relation to those risks. The principal risks to which the Company is exposed are described below.

 

 

22 | Page 

 

 

Capital risk

 

The Company manages its capital to ensure that there are adequate capital resources for the Company to maintain and develop its products. The capital structure of the Company consists of shareholders’ equity and depends on the underlying profitability of the Company’s operations.

 

The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it, based on the funds available to the Company, in order to support the development, manufacture and marketing of its products. The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management, but rather relies on the expertise of the Company’s management to sustain future development of the business.

 

The Company’s capital management objectives are:

 

to ensure the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

to provide an adequate return to shareholders by pricing products and services commensurately with the level of risk.

 

The Company monitors capital on the basis of the carrying amount of equity plus its short-term debt composed of the Promissory note, less cash and cash equivalents as presented on the face of the statement of financial position.

 

The Company sets the amount of capital in proportion to its overall financing structure, comprising equity and long-term debt. The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in the light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company issues new shares or increases its long-term debt.

 

 

23 | Page 

 

 

Capital for the reporting periods under review is summarized as follows:

 

   Sep 30,   Sep 30, 
   2024   2023 
Total Equity   8,585    7,146 
Cash and cash equivalents   (781)   (1,032)
Equity   7,804    6,114 
           
Total Equity   8,585    7,146 
Promissory Note   519    1,026 
Short-term loan   1,630    3,457 
Working capital facilities   16,283    11,821 
Other Long-term liabilities   2,366    2,757 
Overall Financing   29,383    26,207 
Capital to Overall financing Ratio   0.27    0.23 

 

Credit risk

 

Credit risk is the risk that the counterparty fails to discharge an obligation to the Company. The Company is exposed to this risk for various financial instruments, for example, by granting loans and receivables to customers, placing deposits, etc. The Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk is limited to the carrying amount of financial assets recognized at the reporting date, as summarized below:

 

   September 30,   September 30, 
   2024   2023 
Cash and cash equivalents  $781   $1,032 
Trade and other receivables   11,292    10,611 
Carrying amount  $12,073   $11,643 

 

Cash and cash equivalents are comprised of the following:

 

   September 30,   September 30, 
   2024   2023 
Cash  $781   $1,032 
Cash equivalents        
   $781   $1,032 

 

The Company’s current portfolio consists of certain banker’s acceptance and high interest yielding savings accounts deposits. The majority of cash and cash equivalents are held with financial institutions, each of which had at September 30, 2024, a rating of R-1 mid or above.

 

 

24 | Page 

 

 

The Company manages its credit risk by establishing procedures to establish credit limits and approval policies. The balance in trade and other receivables is primarily attributable to trade accounts receivables. In the opinion of management, the credit risk is moderate as some receivables are falling into arrears. Management is taking appropriate action to mitigate this risk by adjusting credit terms.

 

Liquidity risk

 

Liquidity risk is the risk that we may not have cash available to satisfy our financial obligations as they come due. The majority of our financial liabilities recorded in accounts payable, accrued and other current liabilities and provisions are due within 90 days. We manage liquidity risk by maintaining a portfolio of liquid funds and having access to a revolving credit facility. We believe that cash flow from operating activities, together with cash on hand, cash from our A/R, and borrowings available under the Revolver are sufficient to fund our currently anticipated financial obligations and will remain available in the current environment.

 

Market risk

 

Market risk incorporates a range of risks. Movement in risk factors, such as market price risk and currency risk, affect the fair value of financial assets and liabilities. The Company is exposed to these risks as the ability of the Company to develop or market its products and the future profitability of the Company is related to the market price of its primary competitors for similar products.

 

Interest rate risk

 

The Company has floating and fixed interest-bearing debt ranging from prime plus 7% to 9%. The Company’s current policy is to invest excess cash in investment-grade short-term deposit certificates issued by its banking institutions.

 

Foreign currency risk

 

The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk. The Company’s functional currency is the US dollar and a majority of its revenue is derived in US dollars. Purchases are transacted in Canadian dollars, United States dollars and Euro. Management believes the foreign exchange risk derived from any currency conversions may have a material effect on the results of its operations. The financial instruments impacted by a change in exchange rates include our exposures to the above financial assets or liabilities denominated in non functional currencies. Cash held by the Company in US dollars at September 30, 2024 was $159 (September 30, 2023 - $175).

 

If the US dollar to Canadian foreign exchange rate changed by 2% this would change the recorded net gain by $174 (September 30, 2023 - $173).

Price risk

 

The Company is exposed to price risk. Price risk is the risk that the commodity prices that the Company charges are significantly influenced by its competitors and the commodity prices that the Company must charge to meet its competitors may not be sufficient to meet its expenses. The Company reduces the price risk by ensuring that it obtains information regarding the prices set by its competitors to ensure that its prices are appropriate to the unique attributes of our product. In the opinion of management, the price risk is low and is not material.

 

Disclosure control risks

 

The Company’s management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company, have designed disclosure controls and procedures (“DC&P”), or caused them to be designed under their supervision, to provide reasonable assurance that material information relating to the issuer, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known, particularly during the period in which interim or annual filings are being prepared, and information required to be disclosed by the Company in its annual filings, interim filings or other reports filed or submitted by it under securities legislation is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in securities legislation. Although certain weaknesses have been identified, these items do not constitute a material weakness or a weakness in DC&P that are significant. A control system, no matter how well conceived or operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. DC&P are reviewed on an ongoing basis.

 

Internal control risks

 

The Company’s management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company, have designed such internal control over financial reporting (“ICFR”), or caused it to be designed under their supervision, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS. Such design also uses the framework and criteria established in Internal Control over Financial Reporting - Guidance for Smaller Public Companies, issued by The Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The Company relies on entity-wide controls and programs including written codes of conduct and controls over initiating, recording, processing and reporting significant account balances and classes of transactions. Other controls include centralized processing controls, including a shared services environment and monitoring of operating results. Based on the evaluation of the design and operating effectiveness of the Company’s ICFR, the CEO and CFO concluded that the company’s ICFR was effective as at September 30, 2024.

 

The Company does not believe that it has any material weakness or a weakness in ICFR that are significant, other than those reported in the September 30, 2024, audited financial statements. Control deficiencies have been identified within the Company’s accounting and finance departments and its financial information systems over segregation of duties and user access respectively. Specifically, certain duties within the accounting and finance departments were not properly segregated due to the small number of individuals employed in these areas. To our knowledge, none of the control deficiencies has resulted in a misstatement to the financial statements. However, these deficiencies may be considered a material weakness resulting in a more-than remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements would not be prevented or detected.

As the Company incurs future growth, we plan to expand the number of individuals involved in the accounting function. At the present time, the CEO and CFO oversee all material transactions and related accounting records. In addition, the Audit Committee reviews on a quarterly basis the financial statements and key risks of the Company and queries management about significant transactions, there is a quarterly review of the company’s condensed interim unaudited financial statements by the Company’s auditors and daily oversight by the senior management of the Company.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

 

 

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Electrovaya Inc.

 

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of Electrovaya Inc. (the “Company”) as at September 30, 2024 and 2023, and the related consolidated statements of earnings, comprehensive income (loss), changes in equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended September 30, 2024, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”).

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as at September 30, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its consolidated operations and its consolidated cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended September 30, 2024, in conformity with IFRS® Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

 

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 firm registered 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 misstatement of the consolidated 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.

(Expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars, except where otherwise indicated) 

For the years ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023

 

 

1.Reporting Entity

 

Electrovaya Inc. (the “Company”) is domiciled in Ontario, Canada, and is incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario). The Company’s registered office is at 6688 Kitimat Road, Mississauga, Ontario, L5N 1P8, Canada. The Company’s common shares trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange and NASDAQ under the symbol ELVA.TO and ELVA, respectively. The Company has no immediate or ultimate controlling parent.

 

These consolidated financial statements comprise the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the “Group” or “Company”). The Company is primarily involved in the design, development, manufacturing and sale of Lithium-Ion batteries, battery systems and battery-related products for energy storage, clean electric transportation, and other specialized applications.

 

 

2.Basis of Presentation

 

a.Statement of Compliance

 

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared based on the principles of International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and the Interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”). The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for property, plant and equipment and derivative financial instruments that have been measured at fair value.

 

These consolidated financial statements were authorized for issuance by the Company’s Board of Directors on December 12, 2024.

 

b.Basis of Accounting

 

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities as they fall due in the normal course of business.

 

During the year ended September 30, 2024, the Company generated cash from operations of $1.04 million (September 30, 2023: $(5.23 million). As of September 30, 2024, the Company has working capital of $0.89 million (September 30, 2023: $(0.71) million) and a net loss of $1.49 million (2023: $1.48 million).

 

c.Functional and Presentation Currency

 

These consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars and have been rounded to the nearest thousands, except per share amounts and when otherwise indicated. The functional currency of the Electrovaya Inc. is the Canadian dollar and the functional currencies of the all the Group’s companies is US Dollars. Below are the companies within Group -

d.Use of Judgements and Estimates

 

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.

 

Information about significant areas of estimation uncertainty that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements relate to the following (assumptions made are disclosed in individual notes throughout the consolidated financial statements where relevant):

 

Estimates used in determining the net realizable values of inventories, taking into account the most reliable evidence available at each reporting date. The future realization of these inventories may be affected by future technology or other market-driven changes that may reduce future selling prices.
Estimates used in testing non-financial assets for impairment including determination of the recoverable amount of a cash generating unit.
Estimates used in determining the fair value of stock option grants and warrants. These estimates include assumptions about the volatility of the Company’s stock and forfeiture.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the losses can be utilised. Significant management judgement is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognised, based upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable profits, together with future tax planning strategies. Information on tax losses carried forward is presented in Note 24.

 

Allowance for expected credit losses

 

The allowance for expected credit losses is based on the assessment of the collectability of customer accounts and the aging of the related invoices and represents the best estimate of probable credit losses in the existing trade accounts receivable. The Company regularly reviews the allowance by considering factors such as historical experience, credit quality, the age of the account receivable balances, and current economic conditions that may affect a customer’s ability to pay.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company account for stock-based compensation costs in accordance with the accounting standards for stock-based compensation, which require that all stock-based payments to employees be recognized in the audited consolidated statements of earnings based on their fair values. The fair value of stock options on the grant date is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model using the single-option approach and the Monte Carlo valuation method depending on the type of option granted. The Black Scholes and Monte Carlo option pricing models require the use of highly subjective and complex assumptions, including the option’s expected term and the price volatility of the underlying stock, to determine the fair value of the award.

Warrants

 

The Company accounts for warrants in accordance with the accounting standards for warrants, which requires all warrants to be recognized in the audited consolidated statement of financial position based on their fair values. The fair value of warrants on the grant date is estimated using the Black-Scholes pricing model approach. The Black Scholes pricing model requires the use of highly subjective and complex assumptions, including the warrant’s expected term and the price volatility of the underlying stock, to determine the fair value of the award.

 

 

3.Material Accounting Policies

 

The accounting policies below are in compliance with IFRS and have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements.

 

a.Basis of consolidation

 

i.Subsidiaries

 

These consolidated financial statements include direct and indirect subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned. Any subsidiaries that are formed or acquired during the year are consolidated from their respective dates of formation or acquisition. Inter-company transactions and balances are eliminated on consolidation.

 

Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Company. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. The accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed when necessary to align them with the policies adopted by the Company. All subsidiaries have the same reporting dates as their parent Company.

 

ii.Transactions eliminated on consolidation

 

Intra-company balances and transactions, and any unrealized income and expenses arising from intra-company transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements.

 

b.Foreign currency

 

Each subsidiary of the Company maintains its accounting records in its functional currency. A Company’s functional currency is the currency of the principal economic environment in which it operates.

 

i.Foreign currency transactions

 

Transactions carried out in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rate prevailing at the transaction date. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency at the reporting date are translated at the exchange rate at that date. The foreign currency gain or loss on such monetary items is recognized as income or expense for the period. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated at the historical exchange rate prevailing at the transaction date.

For the years ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023

 

  

ii.Translation of financial statements of foreign operations

 

The assets and liabilities of subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate prevailing at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar are translated to U.S dollars at the exchange rate prevailing on the date of transaction. Foreign currency differences on translation are recognized in other comprehensive income in the cumulative translation account net of income tax.

 

Foreign exchange gains or losses arising from a monetary item receivable from or payable to a foreign operation, the settlement of which is neither planned nor likely to occur in the foreseeable future and which in substance is considered to form part of the net investment in the foreign operation, are recognized in other comprehensive income in the foreign currency translation reserve.

 

c.Financial instruments

 

Recognition

 

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized in the Company’s consolidated statement of financial position when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. On initial recognition, all financial assets and financial liabilities are recorded at fair value, net of attributable transaction costs, except for financial assets and liabilities classified as at fair value through profit or loss (‘FVTPL’). The directly attributable transactions costs of financial assets and liabilities as at FVTPL are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

 

Subsequent measurement of financial assets and liabilities depends on the classification of such assets and liabilities.

 

Classification and Measurement

 

The Company determines the classification of its financial instruments at initial recognition. Financial assets and financial liabilities are classified according to the following measurement categories:

 

those to be measured subsequently at fair value either through profit or loss (“FVTPL”) or through other comprehensive income (“FVTOCI”); and,
those to be measured subsequently at amortized cost.

 

The classification and measurement of financial assets after initial recognition at fair value depends on the business model for managing the financial asset and the contractual terms of the cash flows. Financial assets that are held within a business model whose objective is to collect the contractual cash flows, and that have contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding, are generally measured at amortized cost at each subsequent reporting period. All other financial assets are measured at their fair values at each subsequent reporting period, with any changes recorded through FVTPL or through FVTOCI (which designation is made as an irrevocable election at the time of recognition).

 

After initial recognition at fair value, financial liabilities are classified and measured at either:

 

amortized cost.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 

(Expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars, except where otherwise indicated) 

For the years ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023

 

 

FVTPL, if the Company has made an irrevocable election at the time of recognition, or when required (for items such as instruments held for trading or derivatives); or,
the Company reclassifies financial assets when and only when its business model for managing those assets changes. Financial liabilities are not reclassified.

 

The Company’s financial assets consist of cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables and prepaid expenses, which are classified and subsequently measured at amortized cost. The Company’s financial liabilities consist of trade and other payables, working capital facilities, promissory notes, short term loans, lease liability, relief and recovery fund payable, and other payables, which are classified and measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Derivative liability is classified and measured at fair value through profit and loss. Interest expense is reported in profit or loss.

 

d.Cash equivalents

 

Cash equivalents include short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less.

 

e.Inventories

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost of raw material is determined using the average cost method. Cost of semi-finished and finished goods are determined using the First in First out (FIFO) method. Cost includes all expenses directly attributable to the manufacturing process as well as appropriate portions of related production overheads. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less any applicable selling expenses.

 

f.Property, plant and equipment

 

Recognition and measurement

 

Items of property, plant and equipment (other than land and buildings) are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes the cost of material and labor and other costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to a working condition for its intended use.

 

When significant components of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items of property, plant and equipment.

 

Gains and losses on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment are determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment, and are recognized net within profit or loss.

 

The Company capitalizes borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying property, plant and equipment as part of the cost of that asset, if applicable. Capitalized borrowing costs are amortized over the useful life of the related asset.

 

The Company adopted the revaluation method of accounting for the newly acquired building and land. Land and building measured using the revaluation method is initially measured at cost and subsequently carried at its revalued amount, being the fair value at the date of the revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Revaluations are made on an annual basis to ensure that the carrying amount does not differ significantly from fair value. Where the carrying amount of an asset increases as a result of revaluation, the increase is recognized in other comprehensive income or loss and accumulated in equity in revaluation surplus, unless the increase reverses a previously recognized impairment recorded through net income, in which case that portion of the increase is recognized in net income. Where the carrying amount of an asset decreases, the decrease is recognized in other comprehensive income to the extent of any balance existing in revaluation surplus in respect of the asset, with the remainder of the decrease recognized in profit or loss. Material residual value estimates and estimates of useful life are updated as required, but at least annually. Gains or losses arising on the disposal of property, plant and equipment are determined as the difference between the disposal proceeds and the carrying amounts of the assets and are recognized in profit or loss within “other income” or “other expenses.

Subsequent costs

 

The cost of replacing a part of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognized in the carrying amount of the item if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the part will flow to the Company, and its cost can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognized. Maintenance and repair costs are expensed as incurred, except where they serve to increase productivity or to prolong the useful life of an asset, in which case they are capitalized.

 

Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets.

 

The following useful lives are applied: 

Item Life (in years)
Leasehold improvements 3
Production equipment 2-15
Office furniture and equipment 2-5
Building 20
Right of use assets Over the lease term

 

Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.

 

g.Leases

 

Where the Company has entered a lease, the Company has recognized a right-of-use asset representing its rights to use the underlying assets and a lease liability representing its obligation to make lease payments. The right-of-use asset, where it relates to an operating lease, has been presented net of accumulated depreciation and is disclosed in the consolidated statement of financial position. The lease liability has been disclosed as a separate line item, allocated between current and non-current liabilities. The lease liability associated with all leases is measured at the present value of the expected lease payments at inception and discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If the rate cannot be readily determined, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate is used to discount the lease liability. Judgement is required to determine the incremental borrowing rate.

h.Impairment

 

Financial assets

 

The Company recognizes an allowance for credit losses equal to lifetime credit losses for trade and other receivables. None of these assets include a financing component. Significant receivable balances are assessed for impairment individually based on information specific to the customer. The remaining receivables are grouped, where possible, based on shared credit risk characteristics, and assessed for impairment collectively. The allowance assessment incorporates past experience, current and expected future conditions.

 

Non-financial assets

 

The carrying amounts of the Company’s non-financial assets, other than inventories and deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. For intangible assets that are not yet available for use, the recoverable amount is estimated each year at the same time.

 

An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset or its CGU exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognized in profit or loss. Impairment losses recognized in respect of CGUs are allocated to the carrying amounts of the assets in the unit (group of units).

 

In respect of other assets, impairment losses recognized in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, if no impairment loss had been recognized.

 

i.Provisions

 

Legal

 

Provisions are recognized for present legal or constructive obligations arising from past events when the amount can be reliably estimated, and it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle an obligation. Provisions are measured at the estimated expenditure required to settle the present obligation, based on the most reliable evidence available at the reporting date, including the risks and uncertainties associated with the present obligation. Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. Provisions are discounted to their present values, where the time value of money is material.

 

At the end of each reporting period, the Company evaluates the appropriateness of the remaining balances. Adjustments to the recorded amounts may be required to reflect actual experience or to reflect the current best estimate.

In the normal course of operations, the Company may be subject to lawsuits, investigations and other claims, including environmental, labor, product, customer disputes and other matters. The ultimate outcome or actual cost of settlement may vary significantly from the original estimates. Material obligations that have not been recognized as provisions, as the outcome is not probable or the amount cannot be reliably estimated, are disclosed as contingent liabilities, unless the likelihood of outcome is remote.

 

j.Share-based payments

 

The Company accounts for all share-based payments to employees and non-employees using the fair value-based method of accounting. The Company measures the compensation cost of stock-based option awards to employees at the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of the options. The share-based compensation cost of the options is recognized as stock-based compensation expense over the relevant vesting period of the stock options.

 

Under the Company`s stock option plan, all options granted under the plan have a maximum term of 10 years and have an exercise price per share of not less than the market value of the Company’s common shares on the date of grant. The Board of Directors has the discretion to accelerate the vesting of options or stock appreciation rights granted under the plan in accordance with applicable laws and the rules and policies of any stock exchange on which the Company’s common shares are listed.

 

The Company has an option plan whereby options are granted to employees and consultants as part of the Company’s incentive plans. Stock options vest in installments over the vesting period. Stock options typically vest one third each year over 3 years or immediately as approved by the Board. The Company treats each installment as a separate grant in determining stock-based compensation expense.

 

The grant date fair value of options granted to employees is recognized as stock-based compensation expense, with a corresponding charge to contributed surplus, over the vesting period. The expense is adjusted to reflect the estimated number of options expected to vest at the end of the vesting period, adjusted for the estimated forfeitures during the period. Any cumulative adjustment prior to vesting is recognized in the current period. No adjustment is made to any expense recognized in the prior periods if share options ultimately exercised are different to that estimated on vesting. The fair value of options is measured using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Measurement inputs include the price of Common shares on the measurement date, exercise price of the option, expected volatility (based on weighted average historic volatility), weighted average expected life of the option (based on historical experience and general option holder behavior), expected dividends, estimated forfeitures and the risk-free interest rate.

 

Upon exercise of options, the proceeds received net of any directly attributable transaction costs up to the nominal value of the shares issued are allocated to share capital with any excess being recorded in retained earnings or deficit.

 

k.Income taxes

 

Tax expense recognized in profit or loss comprises the sum of deferred tax and current tax not recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. Current income tax assets and/or liabilities comprise those obligations to, or claims from, fiscal authorities relating to the current or prior reporting periods, that are unpaid at the reporting date. Current tax is payable on taxable profit, which differs from profit or loss in the financial statements. Calculation of current tax is based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Deferred income taxes are calculated using the liability method on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. However, deferred tax is not provided on the initial recognition of goodwill on the initial recognition of an asset or liability unless the related transaction is a business combination or affects tax or accounting profit or transactions that at the time of the transaction, does not give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences. Deferred tax on temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and joint ventures is not provided if reversal of these temporary differences can be controlled by the Company and it is probable that reversal will not occur in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated, without discounting, at tax rates that are expected to apply to their respective period of realization, provided they are enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that they will be able to be utilized against future taxable income, based on the Company’s forecast of future operating results which is adjusted for significant non-taxable income and expenses and specific limits to the use of any unused tax loss or credit.

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only when the Company has a right and intention to set off current tax assets and liabilities from the same taxation authority. Changes in deferred tax assets or liabilities are recognized as a component of tax income or expense in profit or loss, except where they relate to items that are recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case the related deferred tax is also recognized in other comprehensive income or equity, respectively. A valuation allowance is recorded against any deferred income tax asset if it is more likely than not that the asset will be realized.

 

l.Revenue

 

Revenue arises from the sale of goods and the rendering of services. It is measured by reference to the fair value of consideration received or receivable, excluding sales taxes, rebates, and trade discounts. The Company often enters sales transactions involving a range of the Company’s products and services, for example for the delivery of battery systems and related services.

 

Sale of goods

 

Sale of goods and services is recognized when the Company has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership, generally when the customer has taken undisputed delivery of the goods and services. For contracts that permit the customer to return an item, revenue is recognized to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur. Therefore, the amount of revenue recognized is adjusted for expected returns, which are estimated based on the historical data for specific types of products.

Advance payments by customers - Any advance receipts from customers are included in contract liabilities until the revenue recognition criteria is met.

 

Warranty provision

 

A provision for warranty costs is recorded on product sales at the time the sale is recognized. In establishing the warranty provision, management estimates the likelihood that products sold will experience warranty claims and the estimated cost to resolve claims received, taking into account the nature of the contract and past and projected experience with the products.

 

Government Grants

 

Government grants are recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the Company has met the requirements of the approved grant program and there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received. Government grants that compensate for expenses already incurred are recognized in income on a systematic basis in the same year in which the expenses are incurred. Government grants for immediate financial support, with no future related costs, are recognized in income when receivable. Government grants that compensate the Company for the cost of an asset are recognized on a systematic basis over the useful life of the asset. Government grants consisting of investment tax credits are recorded as a reduction of the related expense or cost of the asset acquired. If a government grant becomes repayable, the repayment is treated as a change in estimate. Where the original grant related to income, the repayment is applied first against any related deferred government grant balance, and any excess as an expense. Where the original grant related to an asset, the repayment is treated as an increase to the carrying amount of the asset or as a reduction to the deferred government grant balance.

 

m.Research and development

 

Expenditure on research is recognized as an expense in the period in which it is incurred.

 

Costs that are directly attributable to the development phase are recognized as intangible assets provided, they meet the following recognition requirements:

 

completion of the intangible asset is technically feasible so that it will be available for use or sale.

the Company intends to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it.

the Company has the ability to use or sell the intangible asset.

the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits. Among other things, this requires that there is a market for the output from the intangible asset or for the intangible asset itself, or, if it is to be used internally, the asset will be used in generating such benefits.

there are adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the intangible asset.

the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development can be measured reliably.

Development costs not meeting these criteria for capitalization are expensed in profit or loss as incurred.

 

n.Finance income and expense, foreign currency gains and losses

 

Interest income is reported on an accrual basis using the effective interest method.

 

Finance costs are comprised of interest expense on promissory notes, short term loans and working capital facilities. Borrowing costs that are not directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are recognized in profit or loss using the effective interest method. Foreign currency gains and losses are reported on a net basis.

 

o.Earnings per share (EPS)

 

The Company presents basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) data for its common shares. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to common shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to common shareholders and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, adjusted for own shares held, for the effects of all dilutive potential common shares, which comprise share options granted to employees. In a period of losses, the dilutive instruments comprising warrants and stock options are excluded for the determination of dilutive net loss per share because their effect is anti-dilutive.

 

p.Segment reporting

 

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. All operating segments’ operating results are regularly reviewed by the Company’s 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.

 

4.Standards issued but not yet effective

 

The IASB and the IFRIC have issued the following new and revised standards and interpretations that are not yet effective for the relevant reporting periods and the Company has not early adopted these standards, amendments and interpretations. However, the Company is currently assessing what impact the application of these standards or amendments will have on the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company. The Company intends to adopt these standards, if applicable, when the standards become effective:

 

a.Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback (Amendments to IFRS 16)

 

The amendments address the measurement requirements for sale and leaseback transactions. The amendments require a seller-lessee to subsequently measure lease liabilities arising from a leaseback in a way that it does not recognize any amount of the gain or loss that relates to the right of use it retains. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024. Earlier application is permitted. A seller-lessee shall apply the amendments retrospectively to sale and leaseback transactions entered into after the date of initial application. The date of initial application is the beginning of the annual reporting period in which an entity first applies IFRS 16.

b.Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-Current and Non-Current Liabilities with Covenants (Amendments to IAS 1)

 

Liabilities are classified as either current or non-current depending on the existence at the end of the reporting period of a right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period. The amendments also clarify that only covenants that an entity must comply with on or before the reporting date would affect a liability’s classification as current or non-current, even if compliance with the covenant is only assessed after the entity’s reporting date. Classification is unaffected by the likelihood that an entity will settle the liability within 12 months after the reporting date; and

 

How an entity classifies debt an entity may settle by converting it into equity.

 

Additionally, the amendments added new disclosure requirements for situations where a liability is classified as non-current and the entity’s right to defer settlement is contingent on compliance with future covenants within twelve months after the reporting date. The disclosure should enable users of financial statements to understand the risk that the liability classified as non-current could become repayable within 12 months after the reporting period. Amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024, and do not have any impact on the Company’s reporting requirements.

 

c.Lack of Exchangeability (Amendments to IAS 21)

 

The amendments specify how to determine whether a currency is exchangeable into another currency and how to determine the spot exchange rate when a currency lacks exchangeability.

 

The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2025. In applying the amendments, an entity shall not restate comparative periods but will follow the specific transitional provisions included in the amendments.

 

d.IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements (New)

 

IFRS 18 replaces IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements, and for all entities will-

 

Introduce a new defined structure for the statement of profit and loss and require the classification of income and expenses in that statement into one of five categories: operating; investing; financing; income taxes; and discontinued operations. IFRS 18 introduces definitions of these categories for purposes of the statement of profit and loss. Specific categorization requirements will apply to entities whose ‘main business activity’ is to provide financing to customers or to invest in specified assets. Entities will also be required to present new subtotals for ‘operating profit or loss’ and ‘profit or loss before financing and income taxes.

Require disclosure of ‘management-defined performance measures’ (MPMs) in a single note to the financial statements. MPMs are subtotals of income and expenses that an entity uses in public communications outside of its financial statements, to communicate management’s view of an aspect of the financial performance of the entity as a whole to users. Entities must disclose a reconciliation between the measure and the most directly comparable total or subtotal specifically required to be disclosed by IFRS Accounting Standards or subtotal listed in IFRS 18.
Enhance guidance about how to group information within the financial statements; and
For the statement of cash flows, require that ‘operating profit or loss’ be used as the starting point for determining cash flows from operating activities under the indirect method, and remove the optionality around classification of cash flows from interest and dividends.

 

IFRS 18 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, including for interim financial statements. Earlier application is permitted. The new standard is to be applied retrospectively, and, in the year of adoption, a reconciliation is required between how the statement of profit or loss was presented in the comparative period under IAS 1 and how it is presented in the current year under IFRS 18.

7.Revaluation of land and building

 

The Company has revalued its land and building as at March 31, 2023, and recognized a revaluation surplus of $2,600 (less tax of $679) in OCI. The valuation techniques were based on income and sales comparable approach. Significant unobservable inputs used in measuring the fair value of the building at the date of revaluation were as follows:

 

   High   Low 
Market rent ($ sq ft)  $7.10   $3.14 
Capitalisation rate   13.70%   9.50%
Sales ($ sq ft)  $56.87   $35.41 

 

The Company’s estimates are, by their nature, subject to change. Changes in the capitalization rate would represent a change in the value of the land and buildings. The Company performed a sensitivity analysis on the value of the land and buildings based on changes to the capitalisation rate.

Additionally, the number of derivative warrants at September 30, 2024 were 912,841 (September 30, 2023: 912,841).

 

The grant date fair value of outstanding share warrants was determined using the Black-Scholes pricing model using the following assumptions in the year of the grant:

 

Risk-free interest rate (based on U.S. government bond yields) of 2.94% (September 30, 2023: 3.80%), expected volatility of the market price of shares (based on historical volatility of share price) of 52.72%, (September 30, 2023: 85.58%) and the expected warrant life (in years) of 1.1 (September 30, 2023: 3). As a result of the reverse stock split, every five warrants were consolidated into one warrant without any action from warrant holders, reducing the number of outstanding warrants from approximately 13.1 million to 2.6 million. A 10% of change in any assumption would result in the change in derivative warrant liability between $(51) (September 30, 2023: ($417)) and $(2) (September 30, 2023: $393).

Research Lab – Facility Usage Agreement

 

In May 2021, Electrovaya entered a month-to-month Facility Usage Agreement for the use of space and allocated staff of a third-party research firm providing access to laboratory facilities, primarily for research. The laboratory and pilot plant facilities have certain equipment and permits for research and developments with chemicals. The term of the agreement was for six months and could be terminated by either party upon 90 days notice.

 

In July 2021, the facility was acquired by an investor group controlled by the family of Dr. Sankar Das Gupta, which includes its CEO, Dr. Rajshekar Das Gupta. The Facility Usage Agreement was not changed on the change of ownership and remains in effect between the Company and the owner, such that the monthly payment of Cdn $25,265 is now made to a related party of Electrovaya.

 

On June 7, 2023, the Facility Usage Agreement was retroactively extended from January 1, 2023, for an additional three years. The lease has been recognized as a lease liability and corresponding right of use asset.

Dr. Sankar Das Gupta was granted 700,000 options which vest in two tranches of 200,000 options and one tranche of 300,000 options, based on reaching specific target market capitalizations. The fair value of these options on the day of grant are calculated using the Monte Carlo method of option valuation and expensed over the mean vesting period in accordance with IFRS 2. The expense of $456 (September 30, 2023: $256) is recorded within stock-based compensation in the consolidated statement of earnings.

18.Relief and Recovery Fund Payable

 

The Relief and recovery fund is created by the Ministry of Economic Development to support the Company to recover from economic disruption associated with the COVID-19 outbreak. An amount of $300 (Cdn 380) was received as at September 30, 2021. The funding bears no interest, and the Company is required to repay in equal monthly payments for 5 years starting from April 1, 2023. The Company discounted the loan to the present value using the discount rate of 50%. Interest expense booked for the financial year ending September 30, 2024 is $48 (September 30, 2023: $33).

 

 

19.Government Assistance

 

The government assistance is related to specific Government supported research and development programs undertaken by Electrovaya. The National Research Council of Canada Industrial Research Assistance Program (IRAP) has provided $133 (Cdn $181) and Innovation Asset MSP contribution $36 (Cdn $49). This total was recorded within Government Grants in the consolidated statement of earnings.

 

 

20.Financial Instruments

 

Derivative Liabilities

 

Warrants as derivative liability is fair valued using Black Scholes Model (“BSM”). Using this approach, the fair value of the warrants on November 09, 2022, was determined to be $3.3 million. Key valuation inputs and assumptions used in the BSM are stock price of CAD $4.55, expected life of 3 years, annualized volatility of 85.58%, annual risk-free rate of 3.87%, and annual dividend yield of 0.0%.

 

Key valuation inputs and assumptions used in the BSM when valuing the warrants as at September 30, 2024, were, stock price $3.16, expected life of 1.1 years, annualized volatility of 52.72%, annual risk-free rate of 2.94%, and dividend yield of 0.0%.

 

The Company incurred total issuance costs of $459 during the year ended September 30, 2023. The Company allocated proportionally to the derivative liability and expensed $134 as a finance cost in the consolidated statement of earnings, and balance portion of the issuance cost reduced from equity for $325 respectively.

 

Fair Value

 

IFRS 13 “Fair Value Measurement” provides guidance about fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value are required to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is based on three levels of inputs. The first two levels are considered observable and the last unobservable. These levels are used to measure fair values as follows:

Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly.

Level 2 – Inputs, other than Level 1 inputs that are observable for assets and liabilities, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted market prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

Risk Management

 

The Company may be exposed to risks of varying degrees of significance which could affect its ability to achieve its strategic objectives. The main objectives of the Company’s risk management processes are to ensure that the risks are properly identified and that the capital base is adequate in relation to those risks. The principal risks to which the Company is exposed are described below. There have been no changes in risk exposure since the prior year unless otherwise noted.

 

Capital risk

 

The Company manages its capital to ensure that there are adequate capital resources for the Company to maintain and develop its products. The capital structure of the Company consists of shareholders’ equity and depends on the underlying profitability of the Company’s operations.

 

The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it, based on the funds available to the Company, in order to support the development, manufacture and marketing of its products. The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management, but rather relies on the expertise of the Company’s management to sustain future development of the business.

 

The Company’s capital management objectives are:

 

to ensure the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

to provide an adequate return to shareholders by pricing products and services commensurately with the level of risk.

The Company monitors capital based on the carrying amount of equity plus its short-term debt comprised of the promissory notes, less cash and cash equivalents as presented on the face of the consolidated statement of financial position.

 

The Company sets the amount of capital in proportion to its overall financing structure, comprised of equity and long-term debt. The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in the light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company issues new shares or increases its long-term debt.

 

Credit risk and Concentration risk

 

Credit risk is the risk that the counterparty fails to discharge an obligation to the Company. The Company is exposed to this risk due to its cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables.

 

The Company manages its credit risk related to trade and other receivables by establishing procedures to establish credit limits and approval policies. The balance in trade and other receivables is primarily attributable to trade accounts receivables. In the opinion of management, the credit risk is moderate and minimum credit losses are expected. Management is taking appropriate action to mitigate this risk by adjusting credit terms.

 

The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of default by its customers. Accounts receivables are recorded at the invoiced amount, do not bear interest, and do not require collateral. For the year ended September 30, 2024, two customers accounted for $38.9 million or 87.21% of revenue (2023 one customer accounted for $42 million or 94%). As of September 30, 2024, two customers accounted for 96 % of accounts receivable (2023 one customer accounted for 85%). Refer note 5 for expected credit loss provision.

 

Liquidity risk

 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company may not have cash available to satisfy its financial obligations as they come due. The majority of the Company’s financial liabilities recorded in accounts payable, accrued and other current liabilities and provisions are due within 90 days. The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining a portfolio of liquid funds and having access to a revolving credit facility. The Company believes that cash flow from operating activities, together with cash on hand, cash from its trade and other receivables, and borrowings available under the revolving facility are sufficient to fund its currently anticipated financial obligations and will remain available in the current environment.

 

The following are the undiscounted contractual maturities of significant financial liabilities and the total contractual obligations of the Company as at September 30, 2024:

Schedule Of financial liabilities 

   2025   2026   2027   2028   2029 & beyond   Total

Total financial liabilities   27,070    1,440    1,004    801    1,775    32,090 

 

Market risk

 

Market risk incorporates a range of risks. Movement in risk factors, such as market price risk and currency risk, affect the fair value of financial assets and liabilities. The Company is exposed to these risks as the ability of the Company to develop or market its products and the future profitability of the Company is related to the market price of its primary competitors for similar products.

 

Interest rate risk

 

The Company has variable interest debt as described in Note 11 and 13. Changes in interest rates will affect future interest expense and cash flows. The Company does not enter into derivative instruments to reduce this exposure.

 

Foreign currency risk

 

The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk. The Company’s functional currency is the United States dollar (Electrovaya Inc.’s functional currency is CAD) and the financial statements are presented in United States dollars. Changes in the relative values of these currencies will give rise to changes in other comprehensive income.

 

Purchases are transacted in Canadian dollars, United States dollars and Euro. Management believes the foreign exchange risk derived from any currency conversions may have a material effect on the results of its operations. The financial instruments impacted by a change in exchange rates include exposures to the above financial assets or liabilities denominated in nonfunctional currencies. Cash held by the Company in US dollars at September 30, 2024 was $159 (September 30, 2023 $175).

If the US dollar to Canadian foreign exchange rate changed by 2% this would change the recorded net gain(loss) by $174 (September 30, 2023-$173).

 

 

21.Contingencies

 

a.Refundable Ontario Investment Tax Credits

 

On July 22, 2022, the Company received a Notice of Confirmation from the CRA relating to the 2014 and 2015 SRED reassessment for $299 (Cdn$386) and $302 (Cdn$389) including interest respectively. The balance owing has been fully provided for in other payables, and the Company is pursuing the next appropriate step in the appeal process and believes the amounts may be reversed or substantially reduced. The outcome cannot be determined.

 

b.Ministry of Energy

 

On May 28, 2018, the Province of Ontario issued a claim against Electrovaya Corp. claiming $655 (Cdn $830) related to a dispute regarding funding and fulfilment of the Intelligent Energy Storage System under the Smart Grid Fund program. A Statement of Defense disputing the claim in its entirety was filed on March 21, 2019. No further steps have been taken by the province to pursue the claim.

 

c.Other Contingencies

 

In the normal course of business, the Company is party to business related claims. The potential outcomes related to existing matters faced by the Company are not determinable at this time. The Company intends to defend these actions, and management believes that the resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition.

 

 

22.Segment and Customer Reporting

 

The Company develops, manufactures and markets power technology products. There is only a single segment applicable to the Company.

 

Given the size and nature of the products produced, the Company’s sales are segregated based on large format batteries, with the remaining smaller product line categorized as “Other”.

 

There has been no change in either the determination of the Company’s segments, or how segment performance is measured, from that described in the Company’s consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended September 30, 2024.

Others   176    450

23.Other payables

 

Technology Partnerships Canada (“TPC”) projects were long-term (up to 30 years) commencing with an R&D phase, followed by a benefits phase – the period in which a product, or a technology, could generate revenue for the Company. In such cases, repayments would flow back to the program according to the terms and conditions of the Company’s contribution agreement.

 

In June 2018, the contribution agreement was amended and is included at its net present value in other payables. Further, in September 2024, the agreement was further amended with amended terms and conditions for the repayment of the debt with new payment schedule. Consequently, the old debt was de-recognised in the books of accounts and the new debt was introduced with first payment starting in July 2025 and final payment to be discharged in July 2031.

The components of deferred income taxes as at September 30, 2024 and 2023 are as follows:

 

   Opening, October 1, 2023   Recognized in P&L   Recognized in OCI   Closing, September 30, 2024

    Opening, October 1, 2022    Recognized in P&L    Recognized in OCI    Closing, September 30, 2023 
Deferred Tax Assets                    
Canadian non-capital loss carry forwards   47    555        602

Deferred tax assets recognized   47    963        1,010

    (47)   (284)   (679)   (1,010)
Net Deferred tax asset (liability)       679    (679)    

 

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the future tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of deferred taxable income during the year in which those temporary differences become deductible.

 

Management considers projected future taxable income, uncertainties related to the industry in which the Company operates and tax planning strategies in making this assessment.

 

The Company concluded that there is uncertainty regarding the future recoverability of Company’s deferred income tax assets in future periods. Therefore, deferred tax assets have not been recognized in the financial statements with respect to the following deductible temporary differences:

 

   September 30, 2024   September 30, 2023 
Canadian non-capital loss carry forwards   41,904    44,061 
Canadian capital loss carry forwards   69     
US net operating losses   5,332    4,306 
Property, plant and equipment        
Lease liabilities   2,342    2,727 
Disallowed interest carry forwards   1,780     
Unclaimed research and development expenses   15,852    15,824 
Non-refundable research and development credits   19,524    19,489

Basis of Presentation

 

2.Basis of Presentation

 

a.Statement of Compliance

 

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared based on the principles of International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and the Interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”). The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for property, plant and equipment and derivative financial instruments that have been measured at fair value.

 

These consolidated financial statements were authorized for issuance by the Company’s Board of Directors on December 12, 2024.

 

b.Basis of Accounting

 

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities as they fall due in the normal course of business.

 

During the year ended September 30, 2024, the Company generated cash from operations of $1.04 million (September 30, 2023: $(5.23 million). As of September 30, 2024, the Company has working capital of $0.89 million (September 30, 2023: $(0.71) million) and a net loss of $1.49 million (2023: $1.48 million).

 

c.Functional and Presentation Currency

 

These consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars and have been rounded to the nearest thousands, except per share amounts and when otherwise indicated. The functional currency of the Electrovaya Inc. is the Canadian dollar and the functional currencies of the all the Group’s companies is US Dollars. Below are the companies within Group -

 

Electrovaya Corp., Electrovaya Company, Sustainable Energy Jamestown LLC, Electrovaya USA Inc.

 

d.Use of Judgements and Estimates

 

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.

 

Information about significant areas of estimation uncertainty that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements relate to the following (assumptions made are disclosed in individual notes throughout the consolidated financial statements where relevant):

 

Estimates used in determining the net realizable values of inventories, taking into account the most reliable evidence available at each reporting date. The future realization of these inventories may be affected by future technology or other market-driven changes that may reduce future selling prices.
Estimates used in testing non-financial assets for impairment including determination of the recoverable amount of a cash generating unit.
Estimates used in determining the fair value of stock option grants and warrants. These estimates include assumptions about the volatility of the Company’s stock and forfeiture.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the losses can be utilised. Significant management judgement is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognised, based upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable profits, together with future tax planning strategies. Information on tax losses carried forward is presented in Note 24.

 

Allowance for expected credit losses

 

The allowance for expected credit losses is based on the assessment of the collectability of customer accounts and the aging of the related invoices and represents the best estimate of probable credit losses in the existing trade accounts receivable. The Company regularly reviews the allowance by considering factors such as historical experience, credit quality, the age of the account receivable balances, and current economic conditions that may affect a customer’s ability to pay.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company account for stock-based compensation costs in accordance with the accounting standards for stock-based compensation, which require that all stock-based payments to employees be recognized in the audited consolidated statements of earnings based on their fair values. The fair value of stock options on the grant date is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model using the single-option approach and the Monte Carlo valuation method depending on the type of option granted. The Black Scholes and Monte Carlo option pricing models require the use of highly subjective and complex assumptions, including the option’s expected term and the price volatility of the underlying stock, to determine the fair value of the award.

 

Warrants

 

The Company accounts for warrants in accordance with the accounting standards for warrants, which requires all warrants to be recognized in the audited consolidated statement of financial position based on their fair values. The fair value of warrants on the grant date is estimated using the Black-Scholes pricing model approach. The Black Scholes pricing model requires the use of highly subjective and complex assumptions, including the warrant’s expected term and the price volatility of the underlying stock, to determine the fair value of the award.

Material Accounting Policies

 

3.Material Accounting Policies

 

The accounting policies below are in compliance with IFRS and have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements.

 

a.Basis of consolidation

 

i.Subsidiaries

 

These consolidated financial statements include direct and indirect subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned. Any subsidiaries that are formed or acquired during the year are consolidated from their respective dates of formation or acquisition. Inter-company transactions and balances are eliminated on consolidation.

 

Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Company. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. The accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed when necessary to align them with the policies adopted by the Company. All subsidiaries have the same reporting dates as their parent Company.

 

ii.Transactions eliminated on consolidation

 

Intra-company balances and transactions, and any unrealized income and expenses arising from intra-company transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements.

 

b.Foreign currency

 

Each subsidiary of the Company maintains its accounting records in its functional currency. A Company’s functional currency is the currency of the principal economic environment in which it operates.

 

i.Foreign currency transactions

 

Transactions carried out in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rate prevailing at the transaction date. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency at the reporting date are translated at the exchange rate at that date. The foreign currency gain or loss on such monetary items is recognized as income or expense for the period. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated at the historical exchange rate prevailing at the transaction date.

 

ii.Translation of financial statements of foreign operations

 

The assets and liabilities of subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate prevailing at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar are translated to U.S dollars at the exchange rate prevailing on the date of transaction. Foreign currency differences on translation are recognized in other comprehensive income in the cumulative translation account net of income tax.

 

Foreign exchange gains or losses arising from a monetary item receivable from or payable to a foreign operation, the settlement of which is neither planned nor likely to occur in the foreseeable future and which in substance is considered to form part of the net investment in the foreign operation, are recognized in other comprehensive income in the foreign currency translation reserve.

 

c.Financial instruments

 

Recognition

 

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized in the Company’s consolidated statement of financial position when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. On initial recognition, all financial assets and financial liabilities are recorded at fair value, net of attributable transaction costs, except for financial assets and liabilities classified as at fair value through profit or loss (‘FVTPL’). The directly attributable transactions costs of financial assets and liabilities as at FVTPL are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

 

Subsequent measurement of financial assets and liabilities depends on the classification of such assets and liabilities.

 

Classification and Measurement

 

The Company determines the classification of its financial instruments at initial recognition. Financial assets and financial liabilities are classified according to the following measurement categories:

 

those to be measured subsequently at fair value either through profit or loss (“FVTPL”) or through other comprehensive income (“FVTOCI”); and,
those to be measured subsequently at amortized cost.

 

The classification and measurement of financial assets after initial recognition at fair value depends on the business model for managing the financial asset and the contractual terms of the cash flows. Financial assets that are held within a business model whose objective is to collect the contractual cash flows, and that have contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding, are generally measured at amortized cost at each subsequent reporting period. All other financial assets are measured at their fair values at each subsequent reporting period, with any changes recorded through FVTPL or through FVTOCI (which designation is made as an irrevocable election at the time of recognition).

 

After initial recognition at fair value, financial liabilities are classified and measured at either:

 

amortized cost.

 

FVTPL, if the Company has made an irrevocable election at the time of recognition, or when required (for items such as instruments held for trading or derivatives); or,
the Company reclassifies financial assets when and only when its business model for managing those assets changes. Financial liabilities are not reclassified.

 

The Company’s financial assets consist of cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables and prepaid expenses, which are classified and subsequently measured at amortized cost. The Company’s financial liabilities consist of trade and other payables, working capital facilities, promissory notes, short term loans, lease liability, relief and recovery fund payable, and other payables, which are classified and measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Derivative liability is classified and measured at fair value through profit and loss. Interest expense is reported in profit or loss.

 

d.Cash equivalents

 

Cash equivalents include short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less.

 

e.Inventories

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost of raw material is determined using the average cost method. Cost of semi-finished and finished goods are determined using the First in First out (FIFO) method. Cost includes all expenses directly attributable to the manufacturing process as well as appropriate portions of related production overheads. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less any applicable selling expenses.

 

f.Property, plant and equipment

 

Recognition and measurement

 

Items of property, plant and equipment (other than land and buildings) are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes the cost of material and labor and other costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to a working condition for its intended use.

 

When significant components of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items of property, plant and equipment.

 

Gains and losses on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment are determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment, and are recognized net within profit or loss.

 

The Company capitalizes borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying property, plant and equipment as part of the cost of that asset, if applicable. Capitalized borrowing costs are amortized over the useful life of the related asset.

 

The Company adopted the revaluation method of accounting for the newly acquired building and land. Land and building measured using the revaluation method is initially measured at cost and subsequently carried at its revalued amount, being the fair value at the date of the revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Revaluations are made on an annual basis to ensure that the carrying amount does not differ significantly from fair value. Where the carrying amount of an asset increases as a result of revaluation, the increase is recognized in other comprehensive income or loss and accumulated in equity in revaluation surplus, unless the increase reverses a previously recognized impairment recorded through net income, in which case that portion of the increase is recognized in net income. Where the carrying amount of an asset decreases, the decrease is recognized in other comprehensive income to the extent of any balance existing in revaluation surplus in respect of the asset, with the remainder of the decrease recognized in profit or loss. Material residual value estimates and estimates of useful life are updated as required, but at least annually. Gains or losses arising on the disposal of property, plant and equipment are determined as the difference between the disposal proceeds and the carrying amounts of the assets and are recognized in profit or loss within “other income” or “other expenses.

 

Subsequent costs

 

The cost of replacing a part of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognized in the carrying amount of the item if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the part will flow to the Company, and its cost can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognized. Maintenance and repair costs are expensed as incurred, except where they serve to increase productivity or to prolong the useful life of an asset, in which case they are capitalized.

 

Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets.

 

The following useful lives are applied: 

Item Life (in years)
Leasehold improvements 3
Production equipment 2-15
Office furniture and equipment 2-5
Building 20
Right of use assets Over the lease term

 

Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.

 

g.Leases

 

Where the Company has entered a lease, the Company has recognized a right-of-use asset representing its rights to use the underlying assets and a lease liability representing its obligation to make lease payments. The right-of-use asset, where it relates to an operating lease, has been presented net of accumulated depreciation and is disclosed in the consolidated statement of financial position. The lease liability has been disclosed as a separate line item, allocated between current and non-current liabilities. The lease liability associated with all leases is measured at the present value of the expected lease payments at inception and discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If the rate cannot be readily determined, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate is used to discount the lease liability. Judgement is required to determine the incremental borrowing rate.

 

h.Impairment

 

Financial assets

 

The Company recognizes an allowance for credit losses equal to lifetime credit losses for trade and other receivables. None of these assets include a financing component. Significant receivable balances are assessed for impairment individually based on information specific to the customer. The remaining receivables are grouped, where possible, based on shared credit risk characteristics, and assessed for impairment collectively. The allowance assessment incorporates past experience, current and expected future conditions.

 

Non-financial assets

 

The carrying amounts of the Company’s non-financial assets, other than inventories and deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. For intangible assets that are not yet available for use, the recoverable amount is estimated each year at the same time.

 

An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset or its CGU exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognized in profit or loss. Impairment losses recognized in respect of CGUs are allocated to the carrying amounts of the assets in the unit (group of units).

 

In respect of other assets, impairment losses recognized in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, if no impairment loss had been recognized.

 

i.Provisions

 

Legal

 

Provisions are recognized for present legal or constructive obligations arising from past events when the amount can be reliably estimated, and it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle an obligation. Provisions are measured at the estimated expenditure required to settle the present obligation, based on the most reliable evidence available at the reporting date, including the risks and uncertainties associated with the present obligation. Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. Provisions are discounted to their present values, where the time value of money is material.

 

At the end of each reporting period, the Company evaluates the appropriateness of the remaining balances. Adjustments to the recorded amounts may be required to reflect actual experience or to reflect the current best estimate.

 

In the normal course of operations, the Company may be subject to lawsuits, investigations and other claims, including environmental, labor, product, customer disputes and other matters. The ultimate outcome or actual cost of settlement may vary significantly from the original estimates. Material obligations that have not been recognized as provisions, as the outcome is not probable or the amount cannot be reliably estimated, are disclosed as contingent liabilities, unless the likelihood of outcome is remote.

 

j.Share-based payments

 

The Company accounts for all share-based payments to employees and non-employees using the fair value-based method of accounting. The Company measures the compensation cost of stock-based option awards to employees at the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of the options. The share-based compensation cost of the options is recognized as stock-based compensation expense over the relevant vesting period of the stock options.

 

Under the Company`s stock option plan, all options granted under the plan have a maximum term of 10 years and have an exercise price per share of not less than the market value of the Company’s common shares on the date of grant. The Board of Directors has the discretion to accelerate the vesting of options or stock appreciation rights granted under the plan in accordance with applicable laws and the rules and policies of any stock exchange on which the Company’s common shares are listed.

 

The Company has an option plan whereby options are granted to employees and consultants as part of the Company’s incentive plans. Stock options vest in installments over the vesting period. Stock options typically vest one third each year over 3 years or immediately as approved by the Board. The Company treats each installment as a separate grant in determining stock-based compensation expense.

 

The grant date fair value of options granted to employees is recognized as stock-based compensation expense, with a corresponding charge to contributed surplus, over the vesting period. The expense is adjusted to reflect the estimated number of options expected to vest at the end of the vesting period, adjusted for the estimated forfeitures during the period. Any cumulative adjustment prior to vesting is recognized in the current period. No adjustment is made to any expense recognized in the prior periods if share options ultimately exercised are different to that estimated on vesting. The fair value of options is measured using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Measurement inputs include the price of Common shares on the measurement date, exercise price of the option, expected volatility (based on weighted average historic volatility), weighted average expected life of the option (based on historical experience and general option holder behavior), expected dividends, estimated forfeitures and the risk-free interest rate.

 

Upon exercise of options, the proceeds received net of any directly attributable transaction costs up to the nominal value of the shares issued are allocated to share capital with any excess being recorded in retained earnings or deficit.

 

k.Income taxes

 

Tax expense recognized in profit or loss comprises the sum of deferred tax and current tax not recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. Current income tax assets and/or liabilities comprise those obligations to, or claims from, fiscal authorities relating to the current or prior reporting periods, that are unpaid at the reporting date. Current tax is payable on taxable profit, which differs from profit or loss in the financial statements. Calculation of current tax is based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

 

Deferred income taxes are calculated using the liability method on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. However, deferred tax is not provided on the initial recognition of goodwill on the initial recognition of an asset or liability unless the related transaction is a business combination or affects tax or accounting profit or transactions that at the time of the transaction, does not give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences. Deferred tax on temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and joint ventures is not provided if reversal of these temporary differences can be controlled by the Company and it is probable that reversal will not occur in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated, without discounting, at tax rates that are expected to apply to their respective period of realization, provided they are enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that they will be able to be utilized against future taxable income, based on the Company’s forecast of future operating results which is adjusted for significant non-taxable income and expenses and specific limits to the use of any unused tax loss or credit.

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only when the Company has a right and intention to set off current tax assets and liabilities from the same taxation authority. Changes in deferred tax assets or liabilities are recognized as a component of tax income or expense in profit or loss, except where they relate to items that are recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case the related deferred tax is also recognized in other comprehensive income or equity, respectively. A valuation allowance is recorded against any deferred income tax asset if it is more likely than not that the asset will be realized.

 

l.Revenue

 

Revenue arises from the sale of goods and the rendering of services. It is measured by reference to the fair value of consideration received or receivable, excluding sales taxes, rebates, and trade discounts. The Company often enters sales transactions involving a range of the Company’s products and services, for example for the delivery of battery systems and related services.

 

Sale of goods

 

Sale of goods and services is recognized when the Company has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership, generally when the customer has taken undisputed delivery of the goods and services. For contracts that permit the customer to return an item, revenue is recognized to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur. Therefore, the amount of revenue recognized is adjusted for expected returns, which are estimated based on the historical data for specific types of products.

 

Advance payments by customers - Any advance receipts from customers are included in contract liabilities until the revenue recognition criteria is met.

 

Warranty provision

 

A provision for warranty costs is recorded on product sales at the time the sale is recognized. In establishing the warranty provision, management estimates the likelihood that products sold will experience warranty claims and the estimated cost to resolve claims received, taking into account the nature of the contract and past and projected experience with the products.

 

Government Grants

 

Government grants are recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the Company has met the requirements of the approved grant program and there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received. Government grants that compensate for expenses already incurred are recognized in income on a systematic basis in the same year in which the expenses are incurred. Government grants for immediate financial support, with no future related costs, are recognized in income when receivable. Government grants that compensate the Company for the cost of an asset are recognized on a systematic basis over the useful life of the asset. Government grants consisting of investment tax credits are recorded as a reduction of the related expense or cost of the asset acquired. If a government grant becomes repayable, the repayment is treated as a change in estimate. Where the original grant related to income, the repayment is applied first against any related deferred government grant balance, and any excess as an expense. Where the original grant related to an asset, the repayment is treated as an increase to the carrying amount of the asset or as a reduction to the deferred government grant balance.

 

m.Research and development

 

Expenditure on research is recognized as an expense in the period in which it is incurred.

 

Costs that are directly attributable to the development phase are recognized as intangible assets provided, they meet the following recognition requirements:

 

completion of the intangible asset is technically feasible so that it will be available for use or sale.

the Company intends to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it.

the Company has the ability to use or sell the intangible asset.

the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits. Among other things, this requires that there is a market for the output from the intangible asset or for the intangible asset itself, or, if it is to be used internally, the asset will be used in generating such benefits.

there are adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the intangible asset.

the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development can be measured reliably.

 

Development costs not meeting these criteria for capitalization are expensed in profit or loss as incurred.

 

n.Finance income and expense, foreign currency gains and losses

 

Interest income is reported on an accrual basis using the effective interest method.

 

Finance costs are comprised of interest expense on promissory notes, short term loans and working capital facilities. Borrowing costs that are not directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are recognized in profit or loss using the effective interest method. Foreign currency gains and losses are reported on a net basis.

 

o.Earnings per share (EPS)

 

The Company presents basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) data for its common shares. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to common shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to common shareholders and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, adjusted for own shares held, for the effects of all dilutive potential common shares, which comprise share options granted to employees. In a period of losses, the dilutive instruments comprising warrants and stock options are excluded for the determination of dilutive net loss per share because their effect is anti-dilutive.

 

p.Segment reporting

 

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. All operating segments’ operating results are regularly reviewed by the Company’s 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.

4.Standards issued but not yet effective

 

The IASB and the IFRIC have issued the following new and revised standards and interpretations that are not yet effective for the relevant reporting periods and the Company has not early adopted these standards, amendments and interpretations. However, the Company is currently assessing what impact the application of these standards or amendments will have on the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company. The Company intends to adopt these standards, if applicable, when the standards become effective:

 

a.Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback (Amendments to IFRS 16)

 

The amendments address the measurement requirements for sale and leaseback transactions. The amendments require a seller-lessee to subsequently measure lease liabilities arising from a leaseback in a way that it does not recognize any amount of the gain or loss that relates to the right of use it retains. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024. Earlier application is permitted. A seller-lessee shall apply the amendments retrospectively to sale and leaseback transactions entered into after the date of initial application. The date of initial application is the beginning of the annual reporting period in which an entity first applies IFRS 16.

 

 

b.Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-Current and Non-Current Liabilities with Covenants (Amendments to IAS 1)

 

Liabilities are classified as either current or non-current depending on the existence at the end of the reporting period of a right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period. The amendments also clarify that only covenants that an entity must comply with on or before the reporting date would affect a liability’s classification as current or non-current, even if compliance with the covenant is only assessed after the entity’s reporting date. Classification is unaffected by the likelihood that an entity will settle the liability within 12 months after the reporting date; and

 

How an entity classifies debt an entity may settle by converting it into equity.

 

Additionally, the amendments added new disclosure requirements for situations where a liability is classified as non-current and the entity’s right to defer settlement is contingent on compliance with future covenants within twelve months after the reporting date. The disclosure should enable users of financial statements to understand the risk that the liability classified as non-current could become repayable within 12 months after the reporting period. Amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024, and do not have any impact on the Company’s reporting requirements.

 

c.Lack of Exchangeability (Amendments to IAS 21)

 

The amendments specify how to determine whether a currency is exchangeable into another currency and how to determine the spot exchange rate when a currency lacks exchangeability.

 

The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2025. In applying the amendments, an entity shall not restate comparative periods but will follow the specific transitional provisions included in the amendments.

 

d.IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements (New)

 

IFRS 18 replaces IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements, and for all entities will-

 

Introduce a new defined structure for the statement of profit and loss and require the classification of income and expenses in that statement into one of five categories: operating; investing; financing; income taxes; and discontinued operations. IFRS 18 introduces definitions of these categories for purposes of the statement of profit and loss. Specific categorization requirements will apply to entities whose ‘main business activity’ is to provide financing to customers or to invest in specified assets. Entities will also be required to present new subtotals for ‘operating profit or loss’ and ‘profit or loss before financing and income taxes.

 

 

Require disclosure of ‘management-defined performance measures’ (MPMs) in a single note to the financial statements. MPMs are subtotals of income and expenses that an entity uses in public communications outside of its financial statements, to communicate management’s view of an aspect of the financial performance of the entity as a whole to users. Entities must disclose a reconciliation between the measure and the most directly comparable total or subtotal specifically required to be disclosed by IFRS Accounting Standards or subtotal listed in IFRS 18.
Enhance guidance about how to group information within the financial statements; and
For the statement of cash flows, require that ‘operating profit or loss’ be used as the starting point for determining cash flows from operating activities under the indirect method, and remove the optionality around classification of cash flows from interest and dividends.

 

IFRS 18 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, including for interim financial statements. Earlier application is permitted. The new standard is to be applied retrospectively, and, in the year of adoption, a reconciliation is required between how the statement of profit or loss was presented in the comparative period under IAS 1 and how it is presented in the current year under IFRS 18.

7.Revaluation of land and building

 

The Company has revalued its land and building as at March 31, 2023, and recognized a revaluation surplus of $2,600 (less tax of $679) in OCI. The valuation techniques were based on income and sales comparable approach. Significant unobservable inputs used in measuring the fair value of the building at the date of revaluation were as follows:

 

   High   Low 
Market rent ($ sq ft)  $7.10   $3.14 
Capitalisation rate   13.70%   9.50%
Sales ($ sq ft)  $56.87   $35.41 

 

The Company’s estimates are, by their nature, subject to change. Changes in the capitalization rate would represent a change in the value of the land and buildings. The Company performed a sensitivity analysis on the value of the land and buildings based on changes to the capitalisation rate.

 

As at March 31, 2023, 1% change in the capitalization rate and market rent would result in a change in the value of the land and building by approximately $800.

Details of Share Warrants

 

   Number Outstanding   Exercise Price 
Outstanding, September 30, 2023   1,711,924   $2.38 
Expired   (291,924)  $5.92 
Outstanding, September 30, 2024   1,420,000   $2.38 

 

 

Additionally, the number of derivative warrants at September 30, 2024 were 912,841 (September 30, 2023: 912,841).

 

The grant date fair value of outstanding share warrants was determined using the Black-Scholes pricing model using the following assumptions in the year of the grant:

 

Risk-free interest rate (based on U.S. government bond yields) of 2.94% (September 30, 2023: 3.80%), expected volatility of the market price of shares (based on historical volatility of share price) of 52.72%, (September 30, 2023: 85.58%) and the expected warrant life (in years) of 1.1 (September 30, 2023: 3). As a result of the reverse stock split, every five warrants were consolidated into one warrant without any action from warrant holders, reducing the number of outstanding warrants from approximately 13.1 million to 2.6 million. A 10% of change in any assumption would result in the change in derivative warrant liability between $(51) (September 30, 2023: ($417)) and $(2) (September 30, 2023: $393).

In April 2023, following the suggestion of the Company’s Compensation Committee, consisting entirely of independent directors, the Company’s Board of Directors awarded Dr. Rajshekar Das Gupta a total of 600,000 options. These options will vest in two phases: 300,000 options and 300,000 options, contingent upon achieving certain target market capitalizations.

Derivative Liabilities

 

Warrants as derivative liability is fair valued using Black Scholes Model (“BSM”). Using this approach, the fair value of the warrants on November 09, 2022, was determined to be $3.3 million. Key valuation inputs and assumptions used in the BSM are stock price of CAD $4.55, expected life of 3 years, annualized volatility of 85.58%, annual risk-free rate of 3.87%, and annual dividend yield of 0.0%.

 

Key valuation inputs and assumptions used in the BSM when valuing the warrants as at September 30, 2024, were, stock price $3.16, expected life of 1.1 years, annualized volatility of 52.72%, annual risk-free rate of 2.94%, and dividend yield of 0.0%.

 

The Company incurred total issuance costs of $459 during the year ended September 30, 2023. The Company allocated proportionally to the derivative liability and expensed $134 as a finance cost in the consolidated statement of earnings, and balance portion of the issuance cost reduced from equity for $325 respectively.

 

Fair Value

 

IFRS 13 “Fair Value Measurement” provides guidance about fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value are required to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is based on three levels of inputs. The first two levels are considered observable and the last unobservable. These levels are used to measure fair values as follows:

 

Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly.

Level 2 – Inputs, other than Level 1 inputs that are observable for assets and liabilities, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted market prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

Risk Management

 

The Company may be exposed to risks of varying degrees of significance which could affect its ability to achieve its strategic objectives. The main objectives of the Company’s risk management processes are to ensure that the risks are properly identified and that the capital base is adequate in relation to those risks. The principal risks to which the Company is exposed are described below. There have been no changes in risk exposure since the prior year unless otherwise noted.

 

Capital risk

 

The Company manages its capital to ensure that there are adequate capital resources for the Company to maintain and develop its products. The capital structure of the Company consists of shareholders’ equity and depends on the underlying profitability of the Company’s operations.

 

The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it, based on the funds available to the Company, in order to support the development, manufacture and marketing of its products. The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management, but rather relies on the expertise of the Company’s management to sustain future development of the business.

 

The Company’s capital management objectives are:

 

to ensure the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

to provide an adequate return to shareholders by pricing products and services commensurately with the level of risk.

 

The Company monitors capital based on the carrying amount of equity plus its short-term debt comprised of the promissory notes, less cash and cash equivalents as presented on the face of the consolidated statement of financial position.

 

The Company sets the amount of capital in proportion to its overall financing structure, comprised of equity and long-term debt. The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in the light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company issues new shares or increases its long-term debt.

 

Credit risk and Concentration risk

 

Credit risk is the risk that the counterparty fails to discharge an obligation to the Company. The Company is exposed to this risk due to its cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables.

 

The Company manages its credit risk related to trade and other receivables by establishing procedures to establish credit limits and approval policies. The balance in trade and other receivables is primarily attributable to trade accounts receivables. In the opinion of management, the credit risk is moderate and minimum credit losses are expected. Management is taking appropriate action to mitigate this risk by adjusting credit terms.

 

The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of default by its customers. Accounts receivables are recorded at the invoiced amount, do not bear interest, and do not require collateral. For the year ended September 30, 2024, two customers accounted for $38.9 million or 87.21% of revenue (2023 one customer accounted for $42 million or 94%). As of September 30, 2024, two customers accounted for 96 % of accounts receivable (2023 one customer accounted for 85%). Refer note 5 for expected credit loss provision.

 

Liquidity risk

 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company may not have cash available to satisfy its financial obligations as they come due. The majority of the Company’s financial liabilities recorded in accounts payable, accrued and other current liabilities and provisions are due within 90 days. The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining a portfolio of liquid funds and having access to a revolving credit facility. The Company believes that cash flow from operating activities, together with cash on hand, cash from its trade and other receivables, and borrowings available under the revolving facility are sufficient to fund its currently anticipated financial obligations and will remain available in the current environment.

 

The following are the undiscounted contractual maturities of significant financial liabilities and the total contractual obligations of the Company as at September 30, 2024:

Total financial liabilities   27,070    1,440    1,004    801    1,775    32,090 

 

Market risk

 

Market risk incorporates a range of risks. Movement in risk factors, such as market price risk and currency risk, affect the fair value of financial assets and liabilities. The Company is exposed to these risks as the ability of the Company to develop or market its products and the future profitability of the Company is related to the market price of its primary competitors for similar products.

 

Interest rate risk

 

The Company has variable interest debt as described in Note 11 and 13. Changes in interest rates will affect future interest expense and cash flows. The Company does not enter into derivative instruments to reduce this exposure.

 

Foreign currency risk

 

The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk. The Company’s functional currency is the United States dollar (Electrovaya Inc.’s functional currency is CAD) and the financial statements are presented in United States dollars. Changes in the relative values of these currencies will give rise to changes in other comprehensive income.

 

Purchases are transacted in Canadian dollars, United States dollars and Euro. Management believes the foreign exchange risk derived from any currency conversions may have a material effect on the results of its operations. The financial instruments impacted by a change in exchange rates include exposures to the above financial assets or liabilities denominated in nonfunctional currencies. Cash held by the Company in US dollars at September 30, 2024 was $159 (September 30, 2023 $175).

 

If the US dollar to Canadian foreign exchange rate changed by 2% this would change the recorded net gain(loss) by $174 (September 30, 2023-$173).

Technology Partnerships Canada (“TPC”) projects were long-term (up to 30 years) commencing with an R&D phase, followed by a benefits phase – the period in which a product, or a technology, could generate revenue for the Company. In such cases, repayments would flow back to the program according to the terms and conditions of the Company’s contribution agreement.

 

In June 2018, the contribution agreement was amended and is included at its net present value in other payables. Further, in September 2024, the agreement was further amended with amended terms and conditions for the repayment of the debt with new payment schedule. Consequently, the old debt was de-recognised in the books of accounts and the new debt was introduced with first payment starting in July 2025 and final payment to be discharged in July 2031.

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the future tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of deferred taxable income during the year in which those temporary differences become deductible.

 

Management considers projected future taxable income, uncertainties related to the industry in which the Company operates and tax planning strategies in making this assessment.

 

The Company concluded that there is uncertainty regarding the future recoverability of Company’s deferred income tax assets in future periods. Therefore, deferred tax assets have not been recognized in the financial statements with respect to the following deductible temporary differences:

Basis of consolidation

 

a.Basis of consolidation

 

i.Subsidiaries

 

These consolidated financial statements include direct and indirect subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned. Any subsidiaries that are formed or acquired during the year are consolidated from their respective dates of formation or acquisition. Inter-company transactions and balances are eliminated on consolidation.

 

Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Company. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. The accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed when necessary to align them with the policies adopted by the Company. All subsidiaries have the same reporting dates as their parent Company.

 

ii.Transactions eliminated on consolidation

 

Intra-company balances and transactions, and any unrealized income and expenses arising from intra-company transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements.

Foreign currency

 

b.Foreign currency

 

Each subsidiary of the Company maintains its accounting records in its functional currency. A Company’s functional currency is the currency of the principal economic environment in which it operates.

 

i.Foreign currency transactions

 

Transactions carried out in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rate prevailing at the transaction date. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency at the reporting date are translated at the exchange rate at that date. The foreign currency gain or loss on such monetary items is recognized as income or expense for the period. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated at the historical exchange rate prevailing at the transaction date.

 

ii.Translation of financial statements of foreign operations

 

The assets and liabilities of subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate prevailing at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar are translated to U.S dollars at the exchange rate prevailing on the date of transaction. Foreign currency differences on translation are recognized in other comprehensive income in the cumulative translation account net of income tax.

 

Foreign exchange gains or losses arising from a monetary item receivable from or payable to a foreign operation, the settlement of which is neither planned nor likely to occur in the foreseeable future and which in substance is considered to form part of the net investment in the foreign operation, are recognized in other comprehensive income in the foreign currency translation reserve.

Financial instruments

 

c.Financial instruments

 

Recognition

 

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized in the Company’s consolidated statement of financial position when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. On initial recognition, all financial assets and financial liabilities are recorded at fair value, net of attributable transaction costs, except for financial assets and liabilities classified as at fair value through profit or loss (‘FVTPL’). The directly attributable transactions costs of financial assets and liabilities as at FVTPL are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

 

Subsequent measurement of financial assets and liabilities depends on the classification of such assets and liabilities.

 

Classification and Measurement

 

The Company determines the classification of its financial instruments at initial recognition. Financial assets and financial liabilities are classified according to the following measurement categories:

 

those to be measured subsequently at fair value either through profit or loss (“FVTPL”) or through other comprehensive income (“FVTOCI”); and,
those to be measured subsequently at amortized cost.

 

The classification and measurement of financial assets after initial recognition at fair value depends on the business model for managing the financial asset and the contractual terms of the cash flows. Financial assets that are held within a business model whose objective is to collect the contractual cash flows, and that have contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding, are generally measured at amortized cost at each subsequent reporting period. All other financial assets are measured at their fair values at each subsequent reporting period, with any changes recorded through FVTPL or through FVTOCI (which designation is made as an irrevocable election at the time of recognition).

 

After initial recognition at fair value, financial liabilities are classified and measured at either:

 

amortized cost.

 

FVTPL, if the Company has made an irrevocable election at the time of recognition, or when required (for items such as instruments held for trading or derivatives); or,
the Company reclassifies financial assets when and only when its business model for managing those assets changes. Financial liabilities are not reclassified.

 

The Company’s financial assets consist of cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables and prepaid expenses, which are classified and subsequently measured at amortized cost. The Company’s financial liabilities consist of trade and other payables, working capital facilities, promissory notes, short term loans, lease liability, relief and recovery fund payable, and other payables, which are classified and measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Derivative liability is classified and measured at fair value through profit and loss. Interest expense is reported in profit or loss.

Cash equivalents

 

d.Cash equivalents

 

Cash equivalents include short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less.

Inventories

 

e.Inventories

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost of raw material is determined using the average cost method. Cost of semi-finished and finished goods are determined using the First in First out (FIFO) method. Cost includes all expenses directly attributable to the manufacturing process as well as appropriate portions of related production overheads. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less any applicable selling expenses.

Property, plant and equipment

 

f.Property, plant and equipment

 

Recognition and measurement

 

Items of property, plant and equipment (other than land and buildings) are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes the cost of material and labor and other costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to a working condition for its intended use.

 

When significant components of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items of property, plant and equipment.

 

Gains and losses on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment are determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment, and are recognized net within profit or loss.

 

The Company capitalizes borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying property, plant and equipment as part of the cost of that asset, if applicable. Capitalized borrowing costs are amortized over the useful life of the related asset.

 

The Company adopted the revaluation method of accounting for the newly acquired building and land. Land and building measured using the revaluation method is initially measured at cost and subsequently carried at its revalued amount, being the fair value at the date of the revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Revaluations are made on an annual basis to ensure that the carrying amount does not differ significantly from fair value. Where the carrying amount of an asset increases as a result of revaluation, the increase is recognized in other comprehensive income or loss and accumulated in equity in revaluation surplus, unless the increase reverses a previously recognized impairment recorded through net income, in which case that portion of the increase is recognized in net income. Where the carrying amount of an asset decreases, the decrease is recognized in other comprehensive income to the extent of any balance existing in revaluation surplus in respect of the asset, with the remainder of the decrease recognized in profit or loss. Material residual value estimates and estimates of useful life are updated as required, but at least annually. Gains or losses arising on the disposal of property, plant and equipment are determined as the difference between the disposal proceeds and the carrying amounts of the assets and are recognized in profit or loss within “other income” or “other expenses.

 

Subsequent costs

 

The cost of replacing a part of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognized in the carrying amount of the item if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the part will flow to the Company, and its cost can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognized. Maintenance and repair costs are expensed as incurred, except where they serve to increase productivity or to prolong the useful life of an asset, in which case they are capitalized.

 

Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets.

 

The following useful lives are applied: 

Item Life (in years)
Leasehold improvements 3
Production equipment 2-15
Office furniture and equipment 2-5
Building 20
Right of use assets Over the lease term

 

Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.

Leases

 

g.Leases

 

Where the Company has entered a lease, the Company has recognized a right-of-use asset representing its rights to use the underlying assets and a lease liability representing its obligation to make lease payments. The right-of-use asset, where it relates to an operating lease, has been presented net of accumulated depreciation and is disclosed in the consolidated statement of financial position. The lease liability has been disclosed as a separate line item, allocated between current and non-current liabilities. The lease liability associated with all leases is measured at the present value of the expected lease payments at inception and discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If the rate cannot be readily determined, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate is used to discount the lease liability. Judgement is required to determine the incremental borrowing rate.

Impairment

 

h.Impairment

 

Financial assets

 

The Company recognizes an allowance for credit losses equal to lifetime credit losses for trade and other receivables. None of these assets include a financing component. Significant receivable balances are assessed for impairment individually based on information specific to the customer. The remaining receivables are grouped, where possible, based on shared credit risk characteristics, and assessed for impairment collectively. The allowance assessment incorporates past experience, current and expected future conditions.

 

Non-financial assets

 

The carrying amounts of the Company’s non-financial assets, other than inventories and deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. For intangible assets that are not yet available for use, the recoverable amount is estimated each year at the same time.

 

An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset or its CGU exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognized in profit or loss. Impairment losses recognized in respect of CGUs are allocated to the carrying amounts of the assets in the unit (group of units).

 

In respect of other assets, impairment losses recognized in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, if no impairment loss had been recognized.

Provisions

 

i.Provisions

 

Legal

 

Provisions are recognized for present legal or constructive obligations arising from past events when the amount can be reliably estimated, and it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle an obligation. Provisions are measured at the estimated expenditure required to settle the present obligation, based on the most reliable evidence available at the reporting date, including the risks and uncertainties associated with the present obligation. Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. Provisions are discounted to their present values, where the time value of money is material.

 

At the end of each reporting period, the Company evaluates the appropriateness of the remaining balances. Adjustments to the recorded amounts may be required to reflect actual experience or to reflect the current best estimate.

 

In the normal course of operations, the Company may be subject to lawsuits, investigations and other claims, including environmental, labor, product, customer disputes and other matters. The ultimate outcome or actual cost of settlement may vary significantly from the original estimates. Material obligations that have not been recognized as provisions, as the outcome is not probable or the amount cannot be reliably estimated, are disclosed as contingent liabilities, unless the likelihood of outcome is remote.

Share-based payments

 

j.Share-based payments

 

The Company accounts for all share-based payments to employees and non-employees using the fair value-based method of accounting. The Company measures the compensation cost of stock-based option awards to employees at the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of the options. The share-based compensation cost of the options is recognized as stock-based compensation expense over the relevant vesting period of the stock options.

 

Under the Company`s stock option plan, all options granted under the plan have a maximum term of 10 years and have an exercise price per share of not less than the market value of the Company’s common shares on the date of grant. The Board of Directors has the discretion to accelerate the vesting of options or stock appreciation rights granted under the plan in accordance with applicable laws and the rules and policies of any stock exchange on which the Company’s common shares are listed.

 

The Company has an option plan whereby options are granted to employees and consultants as part of the Company’s incentive plans. Stock options vest in installments over the vesting period. Stock options typically vest one third each year over 3 years or immediately as approved by the Board. The Company treats each installment as a separate grant in determining stock-based compensation expense.

 

The grant date fair value of options granted to employees is recognized as stock-based compensation expense, with a corresponding charge to contributed surplus, over the vesting period. The expense is adjusted to reflect the estimated number of options expected to vest at the end of the vesting period, adjusted for the estimated forfeitures during the period. Any cumulative adjustment prior to vesting is recognized in the current period. No adjustment is made to any expense recognized in the prior periods if share options ultimately exercised are different to that estimated on vesting. The fair value of options is measured using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Measurement inputs include the price of Common shares on the measurement date, exercise price of the option, expected volatility (based on weighted average historic volatility), weighted average expected life of the option (based on historical experience and general option holder behavior), expected dividends, estimated forfeitures and the risk-free interest rate.

 

Upon exercise of options, the proceeds received net of any directly attributable transaction costs up to the nominal value of the shares issued are allocated to share capital with any excess being recorded in retained earnings or deficit.

Income taxes

 

k.Income taxes

 

Tax expense recognized in profit or loss comprises the sum of deferred tax and current tax not recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. Current income tax assets and/or liabilities comprise those obligations to, or claims from, fiscal authorities relating to the current or prior reporting periods, that are unpaid at the reporting date. Current tax is payable on taxable profit, which differs from profit or loss in the financial statements. Calculation of current tax is based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

 

Deferred income taxes are calculated using the liability method on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. However, deferred tax is not provided on the initial recognition of goodwill on the initial recognition of an asset or liability unless the related transaction is a business combination or affects tax or accounting profit or transactions that at the time of the transaction, does not give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences. Deferred tax on temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and joint ventures is not provided if reversal of these temporary differences can be controlled by the Company and it is probable that reversal will not occur in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated, without discounting, at tax rates that are expected to apply to their respective period of realization, provided they are enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that they will be able to be utilized against future taxable income, based on the Company’s forecast of future operating results which is adjusted for significant non-taxable income and expenses and specific limits to the use of any unused tax loss or credit.

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only when the Company has a right and intention to set off current tax assets and liabilities from the same taxation authority. Changes in deferred tax assets or liabilities are recognized as a component of tax income or expense in profit or loss, except where they relate to items that are recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case the related deferred tax is also recognized in other comprehensive income or equity, respectively. A valuation allowance is recorded against any deferred income tax asset if it is more likely than not that the asset will be realized.

Revenue

 

l.Revenue

 

Revenue arises from the sale of goods and the rendering of services. It is measured by reference to the fair value of consideration received or receivable, excluding sales taxes, rebates, and trade discounts. The Company often enters sales transactions involving a range of the Company’s products and services, for example for the delivery of battery systems and related services.

 

Sale of goods

 

Sale of goods and services is recognized when the Company has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership, generally when the customer has taken undisputed delivery of the goods and services. For contracts that permit the customer to return an item, revenue is recognized to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur. Therefore, the amount of revenue recognized is adjusted for expected returns, which are estimated based on the historical data for specific types of products.

 

Advance payments by customers - Any advance receipts from customers are included in contract liabilities until the revenue recognition criteria is met.

 

Warranty provision

 

A provision for warranty costs is recorded on product sales at the time the sale is recognized. In establishing the warranty provision, management estimates the likelihood that products sold will experience warranty claims and the estimated cost to resolve claims received, taking into account the nature of the contract and past and projected experience with the products.

 

Government Grants

 

Government grants are recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the Company has met the requirements of the approved grant program and there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received. Government grants that compensate for expenses already incurred are recognized in income on a systematic basis in the same year in which the expenses are incurred. Government grants for immediate financial support, with no future related costs, are recognized in income when receivable. Government grants that compensate the Company for the cost of an asset are recognized on a systematic basis over the useful life of the asset. Government grants consisting of investment tax credits are recorded as a reduction of the related expense or cost of the asset acquired. If a government grant becomes repayable, the repayment is treated as a change in estimate. Where the original grant related to income, the repayment is applied first against any related deferred government grant balance, and any excess as an expense. Where the original grant related to an asset, the repayment is treated as an increase to the carrying amount of the asset or as a reduction to the deferred government grant balance.

Research and development

 

m.Research and development

 

Expenditure on research is recognized as an expense in the period in which it is incurred.

 

Costs that are directly attributable to the development phase are recognized as intangible assets provided, they meet the following recognition requirements:

 

completion of the intangible asset is technically feasible so that it will be available for use or sale.

the Company intends to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it.

the Company has the ability to use or sell the intangible asset.

the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits. Among other things, this requires that there is a market for the output from the intangible asset or for the intangible asset itself, or, if it is to be used internally, the asset will be used in generating such benefits.

there are adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the intangible asset.

the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development can be measured reliably.

 

Development costs not meeting these criteria for capitalization are expensed in profit or loss as incurred.

Finance income and expense, foreign currency gains and losses

 

n.Finance income and expense, foreign currency gains and losses

 

Interest income is reported on an accrual basis using the effective interest method.

 

Finance costs are comprised of interest expense on promissory notes, short term loans and working capital facilities. Borrowing costs that are not directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are recognized in profit or loss using the effective interest method. Foreign currency gains and losses are reported on a net basis.

Earnings per share (EPS)

 

o.Earnings per share (EPS)

 

The Company presents basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) data for its common shares. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to common shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to common shareholders and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, adjusted for own shares held, for the effects of all dilutive potential common shares, which comprise share options granted to employees. In a period of losses, the dilutive instruments comprising warrants and stock options are excluded for the determination of dilutive net loss per share because their effect is anti-dilutive.

Segment reporting

 

p.Segment reporting

 

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. All operating segments’ operating results are regularly reviewed by the Company’s 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.
