SOLARBANK CORPORATION

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

For the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023

(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

(Unaudited)

 

1.Nature of operations:

 

SolarBank Corporation (the “Company”) was formed under the laws of the province of Ontario on September 23, 2013. The Company is engaged in the development and operation of solar photovoltaic power generation projects in Canada and the United States with a geographic focus in the province of Ontario, Canada and New York state, USA. The Company changed its name from Abundant Solar Energy Inc. to SolarBank Corporation on October 7, 2022.

 

The address of the Company and the principal place of the business is 505 Consumers Rd, Suite 803, Toronto, ON, M2J 4Z2.

 

On March 1, 2023, the Company closed its initial public offering (the “Offering”) of common shares. With completion of the Offering, the Company commenced trading its common shares on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the “CSE”) under the symbol “SUNN” on March 2, 2023. On February 14, 2024, the Company migrated its listing to the Cboe Canada Exchange Inc. under the existing trading symbol “SUNN”. On April 8, 2024, the Company’s common shares commenced trading on the Nasdaq Global market under the symbol “SUUN”.

 

2.Basis of presentation

 

(a)Statement of compliance:

 

These accompanying unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting. They are condensed as they do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements, and they should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the company for the year ended June 30, 2024.

 

The board of directors approved these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements for issue on November 13, 2024.

 

(b)Basis of measurement:

 

These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements were prepared on a going concern basis and historical cost basis with the exception of certain financial instruments as disclosed in Note 19.

 

(c)Basis of consolidation:

 

(i)Subsidiaries

 

These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly or partially owned subsidiaries.

 

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

 

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

SFF Loans

 

The Company assumed 51 term loans from SFF acquisition, which are secured by the underlying solar power system assets. The loans have interest payable quarterly with variable interest rates ranging from 1.56% plus Canadian Overnight Repo Rate Average (“CORRA”) to 3.34% plus CORRA and with fixed interest rates ranging from 4.45% to 6.06%. The remaining term range of the loans are 3 to 17 years maturing between 2026 and 2040.

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the interest recorded and paid was $636,235.

 

Interest rate swaps are accounted for as derivatives assets or liabilities and recorded at fair value on the consolidated statements of financial position with change in fair value recorded in profit or loss.

17.Tax equity

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

The Company recognized $3,863 related to ITC distribution as other income on the consolidated statements of income for the three months ended September 30, 2024 (2023: $12,793). $8,388 interest accretion was recognized for the three months ended September 30, 2024 (2023: $10,358)

18.Acquisitions

 

Solar Flow-Through Funds Ltd

 

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

 

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

 

For the period during July 8, 2024 – September 30, 2024, SFF contributed revenue of $3,708,752 and net loss of $721,743.

 

Had the acquisition occurred on July 1, 2024, management estimates that the consolidated revenue would have been $16,317,988 and net income would have been $335,338 for the three months ended September 30, 2024.

18.Acquisitions (continued)

 

The initial purchase price was provisionally allocated based on the Company’s estimated fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed on the acquisition date. The values assigned, including the related goodwill and deferred tax assets and liabilities, are therefore preliminary and subject to change. The allocation of the purchase consideration to the total fair value of net assets acquired is as follows:

 

Preliminary Fair value of net identified assets acquired     
Cash and cash equivalent   9,886,679 
Trade and other receivables   3,906,143 
Short-term investment   639,990

Fair value of SFF shares owned prior to the acquisition(4)   6,783,484 
Total fair value of consideration   42,710,670 

 

(1)Consideration paid in the Company’s common shares was valued at $8.01 per shared, which is the closing market value as at July 8, 2024.
(2)The goodwill is attributable to the synergies expected to be achieved from integrating the Company into SFF IPP operations.
(3)Additional shares for CVRs are to be issued to former SFF shareholders, now the Company’s shareholders, upon determination of final value. This balance is accrued under Due to related parties as at September 30, 2024.

19.Financial instruments

 

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

 

(a)Fair value:

 

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

 

●Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
   
●Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability.
   
●Level 3: Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

 

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

 

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

 

(b)Financial risk management:

 

(i)Credit risk and economic dependence:

 

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

 

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

 

(ii)Currency risk

 

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

(iv)Liquidity risk:

 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities when due by maintaining adequate reserves, banking facilities, and borrowing facilities. All of the Company’s financial liabilities are subject to normal trade terms.

(v)Interest rate risk:

 

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

 

The Company held the Geddes loan which is subject to interest rate risk due to variable rate charged (Note 14). A change of 100 basis points in interest rates would have increased or decreased interest amount (added to the loan principal balance) of $12,806 (June 30, 2024 - $13,100).
