1. Nature of Operations

 

Pacific Green Technologies Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the state of Delaware, USA on March 10, 1994. The Company is in the business of acquiring, developing, and marketing environmental technologies, with a focus on battery energy storage systems and emission control technologies.

 

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023. In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements reflect all adjustments of a recurring nature considered necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the periods shown.

 

The preparation of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. The results of operations and cash flows for the periods shown are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

 

Following the sale of the REP project to Sosteneo, the Company has modified its BESS (“Battery Energy Storage Systems”) strategy of originating, developing and owning BESS projects, to a strategy of originating, developing and selling BESS projects. Under the new strategy, the Company expects income streams from BESS projects to include the following:

 

Sale of projects (Including Sales of Ownership Interests in Project Companies)
   
Construction management agreement fees
   
Asset management fees

 

As discussed in the Critical Accounting Estimates section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, the sale of BESS projects falls under the scope of ASC 610-20, and net proceeds from sale of projects are recognized as revenue on the transfer of control to the buyer.

 

Under the new strategy, project assets and liabilities are not being held as long-term assets of the company, and are expected to be sold within 12 months. As a result, balances in consolidated BESS project entities are included in the appropriate balance sheet line items, instead of assets held for sale. Project costs incurred prior to sale are capitalized as projects under development within current assets, and associated project financing liabilities are capitalized as separately identified loans, in liabilities of projects under development within current liabilities.
