reporting company, this ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after January 1, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal
years. The Company calculated an effect of $
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its consolidated financial statements and management does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

Operating lease assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at the commencement date. As the Company’s operating lease does not provide an implicit rate, the discount rate used to determine the present value of the lease payments is the collateralized incremental borrowing rate based on the remaining lease term. The operating lease asset excludes lease incentives. The operating leases do not contain an option to extend or terminate the lease term at the Company’s discretion, therefore no probable renewal has been added to the expiry date when determining lease term. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Corporate History
Our company was incorporated in Delaware on March 10, 1994, under the name of Beta Acquisition Corp. In September 1995, we changed our name to In-Sports International, Inc. In August 2002, we changed our name from In-Sports International, Inc. to ECash, Inc. In 2007, due to limited financial resources, we discontinued our operations. Over the course of the ensuing five years, we sought out new business opportunities.
2
On June 13, 2012, we changed our name to Pacific Green Technologies Inc. and effected a reverse split of our common stock following which we had 27,002 shares of common stock outstanding with $0.001 par value.
Effective December 4, 2012, we filed with the Delaware Secretary of State a Certificate of Amendment of Certificate of Incorporation, wherein we increased our authorized share capital to 510,000,000 shares of stock as follows:
| ● | 500,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001; and | |
| ● | 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.001. |
The increase of authorized capital was approved by our board of directors on July 1, 2012 and by a majority of our stockholders by a resolution dated July 1, 2012.
Original Strategy and Recent Business
Since 2012, the Company has focused on marketing, developing and acquiring technologies designed to improve the environment by reducing pollution. The Company has acquired technologies, patents and intellectual property from EnviroTechnologies Inc. through share transfer, assignment and representation agreements entered into during 2012 and 2013. Following those acquisitions, management has expanded the registration of intellectual property rights around the world and pursued opportunities globally for the development and marketing of the emission control technologies.
Working with a worldwide network of agents to market the ENVI-Systems™ emission control technologies, the Company has focused on three applications of the technology:
ENVI-Marine TM
Diesel exhaust from ships, ferries and tankers includes ash and soot as particulate components and sulfur dioxide as an acid gas. Testing has been conducted on diesel shipping to confirm the application of seawater as a neutralizing agent for sulfur emissions as well as capturing particulate matter. In addition to marine applications, these tests also showed applicability of the system for large displacement engines such as stationary generators, compressors, container handling, heavy construction and mining equipment.
ENVI-Pure TM
Increasing legislation relating to landfill of municipal solid waste has led to the emergence of increasing numbers of waste to energy plants (“WtE”). A WtE plant obviates the need for landfill, burning municipal waste for conversion to electricity. A WtE plant is typically 45-100MW. The ENVI-Clean™ system is particularly suited to WtE as it cleans multiple pollutants in a single system.
ENVI-Clean TM
EnviroTechnologies Inc. has successfully conducted sulfur dioxide demonstration tests at the American Bituminous Coal Partners power plant in Grant Town, West Virginia. The testing achieved a three test average of 99.3% removal efficiency. The implementation of US Clean Air regulations in July 2010 has created additional demand for sulfur dioxide removal in all industries emitting sulfur pollution. Furthermore, China consumes approximately one half of the world’s coal, but introduced measures designed to reduce energy and carbon intensity in its 12th Five Year Plan. Applications include regional power facilities and heating for commercial buildings and greenhouses. Typical applications range in size from 1 to 20 megawatts (MW) with power generation occupying the larger end of the range. The ENVI-Clean™ system removes most of the sulfur dioxide, particulate matter, greenhouse gases and other hazardous air pollutants from the flue gases produced by the combustion of coal, biomass, municipal solid waste, diesel and other fuels.

Vision & Strategy
Pacific Green envisions a world of rapidly growing demand for renewable energy technological solutions to address the challenges presented by a changing climate. Having achieved success in marine emission control technologies we have now diversified our business to provide turnkey and scalable end-to-end environmental and renewable technology solutions in the energy sector. Our technological platform now has three main divisions:
| ● | Emission Control Systems (“ECS”); |
| ● | Concentrated Solar Power (“CSP”); and |
| ● | Battery Energy Storage Systems (“BESS”); |
In all the above areas, Pacific Green plans to execute this vision by a dual strategy of equipment sales and proactive infrastructure development and ownership, each is led by acquisitions of technology capabilities and project investment opportunities, highlighted to date by the following events:
| ● | on December 20, 2019, the Company closed the acquisition of Shanghai Engin Digital Technology Co. Ltd. (“Engin”) a solar design, development and engineering company. Engin is a design and engineering business focused primarily on CSP, desalination and waste to energy technologies. Engin’s CSP reference plants in China comprise over 150MW and we are now in talks to provide CSP alongside future ammonia and hydrogen production facilities in Asia and South America; |
| ● | on October 20, 2020, the Company closed the acquisition of Innoergy Limited (“Innoergy”), a UK based designer of BESS whose clients included Osaka Gas Co. Ltd, in Japan, and Limejump Limited in the UK, a subsidiary of Shell plc. The acquisition underpins our entry into the BESS market; |
| ● | on March 18, 2021, the Company acquired Richborough Energy Park Limited (“Richborough”), a BESS development project to deliver 99MW of energy in Kent, UK and subsequently sold the entity under the terms of a Sale and Purchase Agreement on June 26, 2023 (see Note 8); and |
| ● | On December 6, 2022 the Company acquired Sheaf Energy Limited for $9,126,000 (£7,500,000) which will be developed into our second BESS 249MW facility project. The acquisition was funded with a secured loan from a third-party investor, Sheaf Storage Limited, which is repayable in September 2023 (or earlier if Sheaf Energy Limited is sold earlier) along with a repayment fee of 20%. |
In support of this dual strategy, we have adopted a Human Resource Strategy that seeks to hire the best talent in the core areas of our business. At June 30, 2023, the Company employed approximately 45 staff excluding full time consultants and contractors across a network of offices around the world. Our hiring plan includes the addition of sales and project execution specialists.
Strategic Partnerships
Pacific Green has forged global partnerships with private and state-owned energy providers and owners. This strategic alignment with leading energy industry platforms empowers Pacific Green to provide quickly scalable solutions in the core areas of our business, to gather unique insights on cutting-edge trends and leverage recurring revenue opportunities that enable us to cross-sell products and services.
The Company has entered into several partnership and framework agreements in the core areas of our business.
Concentrated Solar Power (“CSP”)
On December 23, 2019, the Company entered into a International Strategic Alliance Agreement with (1) Beijing Shouhang IHW Resources Saving Technology Company Ltd. (“Shouhang”), a company listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange in China, and (2) PowerChina.
The Strategic Alliance Agreement provides for the development of CSP plants whereby (1) the Company provides the Intellectual Property, the technical know-how, design and engineering, (2) Shouhang, with annual revenues of approximately USD$157 million, provides manufacturing of the solar field and molten salt tank services, and (3) PowerChina provides the EPC role worldwide.
Battery Energy Storage Systems (“BESS”)
On January 14, 2021, the Company signed a framework agreement with Shanghai Electric Gotion New Energy Technology Co., Ltd (“SEG”). The agreement provides for the supply of lithium-ion BESS. SEG is a joint-venture between Shanghai Electric Group Co., Ltd. (“Shanghai Electric”) and Guoxuan High-tech Co., Ltd. With multiple production facilities and a long-established history in technology manufacturing and supply-chain management, SEG is well-positioned to provide lithium-ion BESS technology around the world. Shanghai Electric has operating revenues in excess of USD$20bn.
4
On March 18, 2021, the Company signed a framework agreement with TUPA Energy Limited (“TUPA”) to gain exclusive rights to 1.1GW of BESS projects in the UK. TUPA is a UK based company with expertise in planning, grid connections and land acquisition. The Company has to date executed 100MW in relation to the Richborough Energy Park project and 249MW in relation to the Sheaf Energy project. The framework agreement was terminated after the completion of the Sheaf Energy acquisition in December 2022.
In addition to supply agreements, on December 2, 2020, the Company signed a joint venture and marketing agreement with AMKEST to assist with the promotion of the Company’s core business platform in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the wider Middle East. Amkest Group is overseen by its founder, Amr Khashoggi, who holds board positions in numerous influential companies and government bodies across the Kingdom and is currently serving as Strategic Advisor to the Kingdom’s prominent new development city, King Abdullah Economic City (KAEC). Amkest Group’s leadership team is led by Chief Executive Officer, Salman Alireza, whose background includes various founding, executive and director-level positions in the business development sector within the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, in addition to an MBA from London Business School.

Results of Operations
The following summary of our results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited interim financial statements for the three months ended June 30, 2023, and 2022.
Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2023, was $1,188,838 versus $2,023,876 for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The Company’s revenues were mainly derived from the delivery obligations under service agreements and ad hoc aftersales.
During the three months ended June 30, 2023, the gross profit margin for products and services were negative nil (2022 – 40%) and 14% (2022 – 35%), respectively. The gross profit margin for products decreased significantly as there were no sales of scrubbers in the period. Overall, the gross profit margin for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, was approximately negative 2% (2022 – 39%).
5
Expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2023, were $7,819,456 as compared to $3,926,657 for the three months ended June 30, 2022. Management and technical consulting fees increased due to increased activity resulting from the sale of PGBEP 1 and REP in June 2023. Management and technical consulting fees were comprised of fees paid to our directors, officers and advisors for business development efforts and advisory services. Office-based costs, travel expenses, bonuses and professional fees also increased due to increased business activities. The impact of various international factors on foreign exchange rates caused fluctuations which saw the Company’s foreign exchange losses increase significantly.
The three months ended June 30, 2023, our company recorded a net profit of $3,288,239 ($0.06 per share) compared to net loss of $3,259,230 ($0.07 per share) for the three months ended June 30, 2022.

During the three months ended June 30, 2023, we used $6,104,682 in operating activities in comparison to $6,312,027 generated from operating activities for the three months period ended June 30, 2022. The operating cash flow for the three months ended June 30, 2023, was mainly resulted from increased receivables and other operating expenses during the period.
During the three months ended June 30, 2023, we generated $6,266,366 in investing activities, whereas we used $6,978,986 in investing activities during the three months ended June 30, 2022. Our investing activities for the three months ended June 30, 2023, were primarily related to sales proceeds from the disposal of Pacific Green Battery Energy Parks 1 Ltd and its subsidiary Richborough Energy Park Ltd.
During the three months ended June 30, 2023, we generated $6,677,799 in financing activities, whereas we used $nil in financing activities during the three months ended June 30, 2022.

Anticipated Cash Requirements
On December 6, 2022 the Company acquired Sheaf Energy Limited for $9,126,000 (£7,500,000) which will be developed into our second BESS 250MW facility project. The acquisition was funded with a secured loan from a third party investor, Sheaf Storage Limited. We anticipate reaching financial close during the second half of 2023. We are funding our Sheaf project expenditure prior to financial close with cash proceeds from the sale in June 2023 of Pacific Green Battery Energy Parks 1 Ltd and its subsidiary Richborough Energy Park Ltd. These funds raised will also cover our normal operating expenditure over the next 12 months. We are currently negotiating with several parties to raise sufficient debt funding from third parties to cover development expenditure on our Australia energy park projects and other renewable energy opportunities.
As of June 30, 2023, we had $8,268,995 cash on hand. After careful consideration we believe current operations, anticipated deliveries and expected profit from such deliveries, sales of products in our Batteries business and the raising of short-term funds to be sufficient to cover expected cash operating expenses over the next 12 months.
Our cash requirement estimates may change significantly depending on the nature of our business activities and our ability to raise capital from our shareholders or other sources.
We currently have office locations in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, China, Hong Kong, Abu Dhabi, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and Australia. We have hired staff in various regions and rely heavily upon the use of contractors and consultants. Our general and administrative expenses for the period will consist primarily of technical consultants, management, salaries and wages, professional fees, transfer agent fees, bank and interest charges and general office expenses. The professional fees relate to matters such as contract review, business acquisitions, regulatory filings, patent maintenance, and general legal, accounting and auditing fees.
Going Concern
Our financial statements for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 have been prepared on a going concern basis.
The assessment of the liquidity and going concern requires the Company to make judgments about the existence of conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the consolidated financial statements are issued. This includes judgments about the Company’s future activities and the timing thereof and estimates of future cash flows. Significant assumptions used in the Company’s forecasted model of liquidity include forecasted sales, costs, and capital expenditures. Changes in the assumptions could have a material impact on the forecasted liquidity and going concern assessment.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to stockholders.

Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in conformity with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Our company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience, and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by our company may differ materially and adversely from our company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected. Accounting estimates and assumptions discussed in this section are those that we consider to be the most critical to an understanding of our financial statements because they inherently involve significant judgments and uncertainties.
Impairment of Long-lived Assets
We review long-lived assets such as property and equipment and intangible assets with finite useful lives for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstance indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The determination of whether impairment indicators exist requires significant judgment in evaluating underlying significant assumptions including expected sales contracts, operating costs, and current market value of assets. If an indication is identified, and the total of the expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, a loss is recognized for the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the asset.
Revenue Recognition
We account for revenue under ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”) using the five step approach. The most significant estimates and assumptions within the five-step approach are related to identification of performance obligations in the contract and the calculations inherent in the revenue recognition as or when performance obligations are satisfied.
Our marine scrubber sales contracts contain a single performance obligation satisfied over time, based on percentage of completion of the contract. The conclusion for a single performance obligation is based on management’s assessment of these contracts, whereby customers purchase the entire marine scrubber system and do not benefit from the separate components on their own. Revenue is recognized over time based on the percentage of completion of the contract, using the input method.

According to ASC 606-10-25-27, if the entity’s performance does not create an asset with an alternative use to the entity and the entity has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date, revenue should be recognized over time. Our scrubber system is customized to each vessel at the detailed design level, so the performance under the contract does not create an asset with an alternative use. According to our contracts signed with customers under English law, the customers are contractually and legally obliged to pay for performance completed to date that covers cost plus a reasonable profit margin. Therefore, the revenue is recognized over time based on the input method and it is the change in cost of goods sold (using a percentage of costs to complete) that has driven the change in revenues. Significant estimates are involved in using the input method as it relates to estimation of total costs and overall gross margins, and any change in these factors could lead to a difference in timing or amount of revenue and profit.
Revenue from services includes specific services provided to marine scrubber systems as well as design and engineering services for Concentrated Solar Power. Contracts for specific services provided to marine scrubber systems represent maintenance services. Contracts for Concentrated Solar Power include design and engineering services provided to clients. Revenue for service contracts is recognized as the services are provided at a point in time.
Any changes to our conclusions around single or multiple performance obligations for either or products or services could result in a timing difference in our revenue recognition. For example, in 2022 we re-assessed our contracts for the sale of marine scrubbers and determined there was only one performance obligation, which had previously been recognized as three distinct performance obligations. As a result, we restated the March 31, 2021 financial statements, with adjustments to revenue, accrued revenue, and prepaid manufacturing costs. Additionally, we have one contract with a significant financing component, where assumptions and estimates are made to separate the financing from revenue and record interest. Any changes in the discount rate or payment schedules could impact the timing of revenue recognized.
Warranty Provision
The Company reserves a 2% warranty provision on the completion of a contract following the commissioning of marine scrubbers. The specific terms and conditions of those warranties vary depending upon the product sold and geography of sale. The Company’s product warranties generally start from the commissioning date and continue for up to twelve to twenty-four months. The Company provides warranties to customers for the design, materials, and installation of scrubber units. The Company has a back-to-back manufacturing guarantee from its major supplier, which covers materials, production, and installation. Factors that affect the Company’s warranty obligation include product failure rates, anticipated hours of product operations and costs of repair or replacement in correcting product failures. These factors are estimates that may change based on new information that becomes available each period. Similarly, the Company also accrues the estimated costs to address reliability repairs on products no longer in warranty when, in the Company’s judgment, and in accordance with a specific plan developed by the Company, it is prudent to provide such repairs. The Company intends to assess the adequacy of recorded warranty liabilities quarterly and adjusts the liability as necessary.
