GREENPOWER MOTOR COMPANY INC.
Notes to the Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements
For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2022 and 2021
(Expressed in US Dollars)
(Unaudited – Prepared by Management)

1. Nature and Continuance of Operations and Going Concern

GreenPower Motor Company Inc. ("GreenPower" or the "Company") was incorporated in the Province of British Columbia on September 18, 2007. The Company is in the business of manufacturing and distributing all-electric transit, school and charter buses.

The corporate office is located at Suite 240 - 209 Carrall St., Vancouver, Canada.

These consolidated condensed interim financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on August 12, 2022 and have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards on the basis that the Company is a going concern, meaning that the Company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize assets and discharge liabilities in the normal course of operations. 

The Company's continuing operations are dependent upon its ability to raise capital and generate cash flows. As at June 30, 2022, the Company had a cash and restricted cash balance of $5,431,324, working capital of $28,311,145, accumulated deficit of ($50,585,493), and shareholder's equity of $31,678,844. These consolidated condensed interim financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent on future cash flows from operations including the successful sale and manufacture of electric buses to achieve a profitable level of operations and obtaining necessary financing to fund ongoing operations. To this end, the Company has a history of delivering all-electric buses to customers, has a backlog of orders for delivery, and has a line of credit with a credit limit of up to $8 million with available liquidity to meet funding requirements. The Company's ability to achieve its business objectives is subject to material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt upon the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company faces risks from the COVID-19 global pandemic which has had, and may continue to have, a material adverse impact on our business and financial condition. While we have seen a re-opening of the economy, and a resumption of travel and sales activity, the future impact of the COVID-19 global pandemic is inherently uncertain, and may negatively impact the financial ability of our customers to purchase vehicles from us, of our suppliers' ability to deliver products used in the manufacture of our all-electric vehicles, in our employees' ability to manufacture our vehicles and to carry out their other duties in order to sustain our business, and in our ability to collect certain receivables owing to us, among other factors. These factors may continue to have a negative impact on our financial results, operations, outlook, goals, growth prospects, cash flows, liquidity and share price, and the potential timing, severity, and ultimate duration of any potential negative impacts is uncertain.

The Company's business financial condition and results of operations may be further negatively affected by economic and other consequences from Russia's military action against Ukraine and the sanctions imposed in response to that action in late February 2022.  While the Company expects any direct impacts, of the pandemic and the war in the Ukraine, to the business to be limited, the indirect impacts on the economy and other industries in general could negatively affect the business and may make it more difficult for it to raise equity or debt financing. There can be no assurance that the Company will not be impacted by adverse consequences that may be brought about on its business, results of operations, financial position and cash flows in the future.

(a) Basis of presentation

Statement of Compliance with IFRS

The Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements of the Company are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") applicable to interim financial information, as outlined in International Accounting Standard ("IAS") 34, Interim Financial Reporting, and using the accounting policies consistent with those in the audited consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended March 31, 2022.

(b) Basis of consolidation

These consolidated condensed interim financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its wholly-owned subsidiaries:

Name of Country of  Ownership  Ownership  Principal

All intercompany balances, transactions, revenues and expenses are eliminated upon consolidation. Certain information and note disclosures which are considered material to the understanding of the Company's consolidated condensed interim financial statements are provided below.

Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date of acquisition, being the date on which the Company obtains control, and continue to be consolidated until the date when such control ceases. Control exists when the Company has the power, directly or indirectly, to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company, using consistent accounting policies.

(c) Financial instruments

Classification

IFRS 9 requires a company to classify its financial instruments based on the way they are measured, into one of three categories: Amortized Cost, FVTPL, and FVOCI. In determining the appropriate category for financial assets, a company must consider whether it intends to hold the financial assets and collect the contractual cash flows or to collect the cash flows and sell financial assets (the "business model test") and whether the contractual cash flows of an asset are solely payments of principal and interest (the "SPPI test").

(Expressed in US Dollars)
(Unaudited – Prepared by Management)

2.  Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(c) Financial instruments (continued)

i. Amortized Cost

All of the Company's financial instruments, initially recognized at fair value, are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Transaction costs are included in the initial fair value measurement of the financial instruments, and the Company incorporates the expected credit loss in financial assets on a forward-looking basis. The Company will, at a minimum, recognize 12 month expected losses in profit or loss, and if a significant increase in credit risk occurs after initial recognition, lifetime expected losses will be recognized.

The Company has issued convertible debentures that can be converted into shares of the Company at the option of the holder, and the number of shares to be issued does not vary with changes in their fair value. The liability component of a compound financial instrument is recognized initially at the fair value of a similar liability that does not have an equity conversion option. The equity component is recognized initially as the difference between the fair value of the compound financial instrument as a whole and the fair value of the liability component. Any directly attributable transaction costs are allocated to the liability and equity components in proportion to their initial carrying amounts.

Subsequent to the initial recognition, the liability component of a compound financial instrument is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The equity component of a compound financial instrument is not re-measured subsequent to initial recognition. Interest, dividends, losses and gains relating to the financial liability are recognized in profit or loss. When the conversion option is exercised, the carrying amount of the liability is recorded as share capital and the equity component of the compound financial instrument is transferred to share capital.

When the Company extinguishes convertible debentures before maturity through early redemption or repurchase where the conversion option is unchanged, the Company allocates the consideration paid and any transaction costs for the repurchase or redemption to the liability and equity components of the instrument at the date of settlement. The method used in allocating the consideration paid and transaction costs to the separate components is consistent with the method used in the original allocation to the separate components of the proceeds received by the entity when the convertible instrument was issued. The amount of gain or loss relating to the early redemption or repurchase of the liability component is recognized in profit or loss. The amount of consideration relating to the equity component is recognized in equity.

ii. FVTPL

Financial liabilities classified as FVTPL are measured at fair value with unrealized gains and losses recognized through the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company did not have any liabilities classified as FVTPL as at March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021.

Derivative financial assets and liabilities are initially recognized at their fair value on the date the derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at their fair value at each reporting period with changes in the fair value recognized in profit and loss. Derivative financial assets and liabilities include warrants purchased or issued by the Company denominated in a currency other than the Company's functional currency. As at March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, the Company did not have any derivative financial assets or liabilities.

(c) Financial instruments (continued)

iii. FVOCI

Certain debt instrument assets must be classified as FVOCI unless the option to FVTPL is taken and the FVOCI classification is an election for equity assets. The Company did not have any debt or equity assets classified as FVOCI as at March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021.

For debt instruments measured at FVOCI, interest income (calculated using the effective interest rate method), foreign currency gains or losses and impairment gains or losses are recognized directly in profit or loss. The difference between cumulative fair value gains or losses and the cumulative amounts recognized in profit or loss is recognized in OCI until derecognition, when the amounts in OCI are reclassified to profit or loss. For equity instruments designated as FVOCI only dividend income is recognized in profit or loss with all other gains and losses recognized in OCI and there is no reclassification on derecognition.

Measurement

All of the Company's financial instruments, initially recognized at fair value, are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Transaction costs are included in the initial fair value measurement of the financial instruments.

Impairment

The Company assesses on a forward-looking basis the expected credit loss associated with financial assets measured at amortized cost. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk. For trade receivables, the Company applies the simplified approach permitted by IFRS 9, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognized from initial recognition of the receivables, which is recorded as an allowance for credit losses. Losses are recognized in profit or loss and reflected in an allowance account against receivables. When a subsequent event causes the amount of impairment loss to decrease, the decrease in impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recognized an allowance / (recovery) for credit losses of $73,417 (2021 - $14,670) (Note 4).

For financial assets that are measured at amortized cost, the Company will, at a minimum, recognize 12 month expected losses in profit or loss, calculated as the difference between its carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the asset's original effective interest rate.

Lifetime expected losses will be recognized on assets for which there is a significant increase in credit risk after initial recognition. During the quarter ended June 30, 2022 the Company recognized an impairment of $nil on accounts receivable related to one finance lease (June 30, 2021 - $nil).

(d) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents usually consist of highly liquid investments which are readily convertible into cash with maturity of three months or less and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. As at June 30, 2022, and March 31, 2022 the Company had no cash equivalents.

(e) Revenue recognition

The Company recognizes revenue from contracts with customers when a customer obtains control of the goods or services, and the Company satisfies its performance obligation to customers in exchange for consideration the Company expects to receive, net of discounts and taxes. Revenue is allocated to each performance obligation.

Most of the Company's contracts have a single performance obligation as the promise to transfer the individual goods. Revenues from the sale of products are recognized when the goods are shipped or accepted by the customer, depending on the delivery conditions, and title and risk have passed to the customer. Revenues from services such as supporting and training relating to the sale of products are recognized as the services are performed. The Company has also not historically, but may in the future earn product repair and maintenance revenues, which may relate to warranty contracts, which would be recognized over the periods and according to the terms of the warranty or other contract.

The Company would recognize an asset for the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer if it expects the costs to be recoverable and has determined that such costs meet the requirements to be capitalized. Capitalized contract acquisition costs are amortized consistent with the pattern of transfer to the customer for the goods and services to which the asset relates. The Company does not capitalize incremental costs of obtaining contracts if the amortization period is one year or less.

(f) Impairment of long-lived assets

At the end of each reporting period, the Company's assets are reviewed to determine whether there is any indication that those assets may be impaired. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment, if any. The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. Fair value is determined as the amount that would be obtained from the sale of the asset in an arm's length transaction between knowledgeable and willing parties. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount and the impairment loss is recognized in the Consolidated Condensed Interim Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss for the period. For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs.

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but to an amount that does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset (or cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized immediately in the Consolidated Condensed Interim Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.

Translation to functional currency

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the entity′s functional currency using exchange rates in effect at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rate in effect at the measurement date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency using the historical exchange rate or the exchange rate in effect at the measurement date for items recognized at FVTPL. Gains and losses arising from foreign exchange are included in the Consolidated Condensed Interim Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.

Translation to presentation currency

The results and financial position of those entities with a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:

- assets and liabilities are translated at the closing rate at the date of the Statements of Financial Position;

- income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates; and

- all resulting exchange differences are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income/loss.

Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign entity and translated at the closing rate. Exchange differences arising on translation of foreign operations are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income / loss. On disposal of a foreign operation (that is, a disposal of the Company's entire interest in a foreign operation, or a disposal involving loss of control over a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation) all exchange differences accumulated in equity in respect of that operation attributable to the equity holders of the Company are reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income/loss to net income/loss for the period.

2.  Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(h) Inventory

Inventory is recorded at the lower of cost and net realizable value with cost determined on a specific item basis. The Company's inventory consists of electric buses in process, production supplies, and finished goods. In determining net realizable value for new buses, the Company primarily considers the age of the vehicles along with the timing of annual and model changeovers. For used buses, the Company considers recent market data and trends such as loss histories along with the current age of the inventory.

(i) Property, plant, and equipment

Property, plant and equipment ("PPE") are carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. The cost of an item of PPE consists of the purchase price, any costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for its intended use and an initial estimate of the costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located. Depreciation is

provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of PPE, less their estimated residual value, using the following rates/estimated lives and methods:

Leasehold improvements Over term of lease, straight line method
Computers 3 years, straight line method
EV equipment 3 years, straight line method
Furniture 7 years, straight line method
Automobiles 5-10 years, straight line method
Leased asset 12 years, straight line method
Buses 12 years, straight line method

An item of PPE is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on disposal of the asset, determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset, is recognized in profit or loss in the Consolidated Condensed Interim Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. Where an item of PPE comprises major components with different useful lives, the components are accounted for as separate items of PPE. Expenditures incurred to replace a component of an item of PPE is accounted for separately, including major inspection and overhaul expenditures are capitalized.

(j) Loss per share

The Company presents basic and diluted loss per share data for its common shares, calculated by dividing the loss attributable to common shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share does not adjust the loss attributable to common shareholders or the weighted average number of common shares outstanding when the effect is anti-dilutive.

(k) Share capital

Common shares are classified as equity. Finders fees and other related share issue costs, such as legal, regulatory, and printing, on the issue of the Company's shares are charged directly to share capital, net of any tax effects. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, and twelve months ended March 31, 2022 the Company recorded nil, and $27,329 respectively, in share issuance costs on its Consolidated Condensed Interim Statements of Changes in Equity (Deficit) in regards to the issuance of shares (Note 10).

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(l) Income taxes

Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current and deferred tax are recognized in net income/loss except to the extent that it relates to a business combination or items recognized directly in equity or in other comprehensive loss/income.

Current income taxes are recognized for the estimated income taxes payable or receivable on taxable income or loss for the current period and any adjustment to income taxes payable in respect to previous years. Current income taxes are determined using tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end date.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized where the carrying amount of an asset or liability differs from its tax base, except for taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill and temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction which is not a business combination and at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss.

Recognition of deferred tax assets for unused tax losses, tax credits, and deductible temporary differences is restricted to those instances where it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the deferred tax asset can be utilized. At the end of each reporting period the Company reassesses deferred tax assets. The Company will recognize a previously unrecognized deferred tax asset to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

(m) Critical accounting estimates and judgments

The preparation of these consolidated condensed interim financial statements requires management to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual outcomes could differ from these estimates. These consolidated condensed interim financial statements include estimates which, by their nature, are uncertain. The impacts of such estimates are pervasive throughout the consolidated condensed interim financial statements and may require accounting adjustments based on future occurrences. Revisions to critical accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. These estimates are based on historical experience, current and future economic conditions and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Critical accounting estimates

Significant assumptions about the future and other sources of estimation uncertainty that management has made at the end of the reporting period, that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities, in the event that actual results differ from assumptions made, relate to, but are not limited to, the carring value of accounts receivable and promissory note receivable, the determination of the useful life of equipment, net realizable value of inventory, provision for warranty expense, and the $nil provision for income taxes.

2.  Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(m) Critical accounting estimates and judgments (continued)

Critical accounting judgments

i. The determination of the discount rate to use to discount the promissory note receivable, finance lease receivable and lease liabilities;

ii. The determination of the functional currency of each entity within the consolidated Company;

iii. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern;

iv. The classification of leases as either financial leases or operating leases; and

v. The determination that there are no material matters requiring disclosures and/or recognition on the consolidated financial statements as either a provision, a contingent liability, or a contingent asset; and

vi. The identification of performance obligations in revenue contracts and the determination of when they are satisfied.

(n)  Share-based payment transactions

The Company grants share-based awards to certain officers, employees, directors and other eligible persons. The fair value of the equity-settled awards is determined at the date of the grant.  In calculating fair value, no account is taken of any vesting conditions, other than conditions linked to the price of the shares of the Company.  Each tranche in an award is considered a separate award with its own vesting period and grant date fair value.  The fair value is determined by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.  At each financial reporting date, the cumulative expense representing the extent to which the vesting period has expired and management's best estimate of the awards that are ultimately expected to

vest is computed.  The movement in cumulative expense is recognized in the Consolidated Condensed Interim Statements of Operations with a corresponding entry against the related equity settled share-based payments reserve account over the vesting period.  No expense is recognized for awards that do not ultimately vest.  If the awards expire unexercised, the related amount remains in share-option reserve.

Where equity instruments are granted to non-employees, they are recorded at the fair value of the goods or services received in the Consolidated Condensed Interim Statements of Operations, unless they are related to the issuance of shares. Amounts related to the issuance of shares are recorded as a reduction of share capital.  When the value of goods or services received in exchange for the share-based payment cannot be reliably estimated, the fair value is measured by use of a valuation model. The fair value of stock options granted to non-employees is re-measured at the earlier of each financial reporting or vesting date, and any adjustment is charged or credited to operations upon re-measurement.

(o) Valuation of equity units issued in private placements

The Company has adopted a residual value method with respect to the measurement of shares and warrants issued as private placement units. The residual value method first allocates value to the more easily measurable component based on fair value and then the residual value, if any, to the less easily measurable component. The fair value of the common shares issued in the private placement was determined to be the more easily measurable component and were valued at their fair value, as determined by the closing quoted bid price on the announcement date. The balance, if any, is allocated to the attached warrants. Any fair value attributed to the warrants is recorded as warrant reserve. If the warrants are exercised, the related amount is reclassified as share capital. If the warrants expire unexercised, the related amount remains in warrant reserve.

2.  Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(p) Government grants

Government grants are recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the Company will comply with all conditions related to the grant. The grant without specified future performance conditions is recognized in income when the grant proceeds are receivable. A grant that imposes future performance conditions is recognized in income when those conditions are met. Government grants in the form of forgivable loans are treated as a government grant when there is reasonable assurance that the Company will meet the terms of the forgiveness of the loan.

(q) Provisions and contingent liabilities

Provisions are recognized when present obligations as a result of a past event will probably lead to an outflow of economic resources from the Company and amounts can be estimated reliably. Timing or amount of the outflow may still be uncertain. 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. Provisions are discounted when the time value of money is significant.

(r) Leases

Definition of a lease

At inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease based on whether the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The Company has elected to apply the practical expedient to account for leases for which the lease term ends within 12 months of the date of initial application and leases of low value assets as short-term leases. The lease payments associated with these leases are recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

As a lessee

The Company recognizes a right of use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right of use asset is initially measured at cost, based on the initial amount of the lease liability. The assets are depreciated to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right of use asset or the lease term using the straight-line method as this most closely reflects the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits. The lease term includes periods covered by an option to extend if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise that option.

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, at the Company's incremental borrowing rate.

The ongoing lease liability is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. It is re-measured when there is a change in future lease payments, if there is a change in the Company's estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, or if the Company changes its assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option.

When the lease liability is premeasured in this way a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right of use asset or is recorded in profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right of use asset has been reduced to zero.

2.  Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(r) Leases (Continued)

As a lessor

When the Company acts as a lessor, it determines at lease inception whether each lease is a finance lease or an operating lease.

To classify each lease, the Company makes an overall assessment of whether the lease transfers substantially all of the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the underlying asset. If this is the case, then the lease is a finance lease; if not, then it is an operating lease. As part of this assessment, the Company considers certain indicators such as whether the lease is for the major part of the economic life of the asset.

If an arrangement contains lease and non-lease components, the Company applies IFRS 15 to allocate the consideration in the contract.

Amounts due from lessees under the finance leases are recorded as finance lease receivables at the amount of the Company's net investment in the leases. Finance lease income is allocated to accounting periods so as to reflect a constant periodic rate of return on the Company's net investment in the lease.

The Company recognizes lease payments received under operating leases as income on a straight-line basis over the lease term, included in Revenue in the consolidated condensed interim statements of operations.

(s)  Assets held for sale

Fixed assets that are held for sale are recorded as current assets held for sale at the lower of their carrying amount and the asset’s fair value less costs to sell in accordance with IFRS 5.

(t) Adoption of accounting standards

Amendments to IAS 37, which became effective for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2022, was amended to specify which costs an entity includes in determining the cost of fulfilling a contract for the purpose of assessing whether the contract is onerous. Amendments to IAS 37 did not cause a change to the Company's financial statements.

(u) Future accounting pronouncements

Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published by the IASB or the IFRS Interpretations Committee that are not mandatory for the June 30, 2022 reporting period.

The Company has reviewed new and revised accounting pronouncements that have been issued but are not yet effective. The Company has not early adopted any of these standards and is currently evaluating the impact, if any, that these standards might have on its consolidated condensed interim financial statements.

As at June 30, 2022 the Company’s line of Credit had a credit limit of up to $8,000,000 (March 31, 2022 – $8,000,000). The line of Credit bears interest at the bank’s US Base Rate (June 30, 2022 – 5.25%, March 31, 2022 – 4.00%) plus 1.5%.

The Line of Credit contains customary business covenants such as maintenance of security, maintenance of corporate existence, and other covenants typical for a corporate operating line of credit, and the Line of Credit has one financial covenant, to maintain a current ratio greater than 1.2:1, for which the Company is currently in compliance. The availability of the credit limit over $5,000,000 is subject to margin requirements of a percentage of finished goods inventory and accounts receivable, and these margins are tested on a monthly basis. As of June 30, 2022 the Company had a drawn balance of $7,877,927 (March 31, 2022 – $5,766,379) on the Line of Credit.

On the same date, the Company's post-consolidation common shares began trading on the Nasdaq stock exchange and ceased trading on the OTCQB exchange in the US, and the post-consolidation shares continued trading on the TSX Venture    exchange in Canada. A total of three fractional shares were cancelled as a result of the share consolidation.    All references to share and per share amounts in this section have been retroactively restated to give effect      to this share consolidation.

Issued

During the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company issued a total of 3,322 shares pursuant to the exercise of stock options. During the year ended March 31, 2022, the Company issued a total of 2,255,478 common shares, including 1,925,656 shares from the exercise of warrants, and 329,822 shares from the exercise of options.  As at June 30, 2022 and March 31, 2022 the Company had no shares held in escrow.

11. Stock Options

The Company has an incentive stock option plan whereby it grants options to directors, officers, employees, and consultants of the Company. Effective April 19, 2022, GreenPower adopted the 2022 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2022 Plan"), which replaced the 2019 Plan and after this date no further stock options will be granted under the 2019 Plan. Under the 2022 Plan the Company can grant equity-based incentive awards in the form of stock options ("Options"), restricted share units ("RSUs"), performance share units ("PSUs") and deferred share units ("DSUs"). RSU's, DSU's and PSU's are collectively referred to as "Performance Based Awards". The 2022 Plan is a Rolling Plan for Options and a fixed-plan for Performance-Based Awards such that the aggregate number of Shares that: (i) may be issued upon the exercise or settlement of Options granted under the 2022 Plan (and all of the Company's other Security-Based Compensation Arrangements), shall not exceed

(Expressed in US Dollars)
(Unaudited – Prepared by Management)

11.      Stock Options (continued)

10% of the Company's issued and outstanding Shares from time to time, and (ii) may be issued in respect of Performance-Based Awards granted under the 2022 Plan (and all of the Company's other Security-Based Compensation Arrangements) shall not exceed 2,314,803. The 2022 Plan is considered an "evergreen" plan, since Options which have been exercised, cancelled, terminated, surrendered, forfeited or expired without being exercised shall be available for subsequent grants under the 2022 Plan and the number of awards available to grant increases as the number of issued and outstanding Shares increases.

On May 14, 2019, the Company replaced its Fixed Stock Option Plan (the "2016 Plan") with a Rolling Stock Option Plan (the "2019 Plan"). Under the terms of the 2019 Plan, the aggregate number of Options that can be granted under the 2019 Plan cannot exceed ten (10%) of the total number of issued and outstanding Shares, calculated on a non-diluted basis. The exercise price of options granted under the 2019 Plan may not be less than the minimum prevailing price permitted by the TSXV policies with a maximum term of 10 years.

The Company completed a seven-for-one share consolidation on August 28, 2020. All figures in this note  have been retroactively restated to give effect to this share consolidation. See Note 10 for further details.

On March 9, 2016, the shareholders approved the previous stock option plan which initially allowed for the issuance of up to 1,491,541 shares and which was subsequently further increased to allow up to 2,129,999 shares to be issued under the plan (the "2016 Plan"). Prior to the adoption of the 2016 Plan, the Company  had adopted an incentive stock option plan (the "Plan"), whereby it could grant options to directors, officers, employees, and consultants of the Company.

The Company had the following incentive stock options granted under the 2019 Plan, and the 2016 Plan that are issued and outstanding as at June 30, 2022:

14. Financial Instruments

The Company's financial instruments consist of cash and restricted cash, accounts receivable, finance lease receivables, line of credit, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, loans from related parties, other liabilities and lease liabilities.

Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified into one of three levels in the fair value hierarchy according to the relative reliability of the inputs used to estimate the fair values. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:

Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities;

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liabilities either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3: Inputs that are not based on observable market data

The Company does not currently hold any financial instruments measured at fair value on the Consolidated Condensed Interim Statements of Financial Position. The fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying value, unless otherwise noted.

14.      Financial Instruments (continued)

Overview

The Company has exposure to the following financial instrument related risks.

Credit risk

The Company's exposure to credit risk is on its cash, accounts receivable, and on its finance lease receivables. The maximum exposure to credit risk is their carrying amounts in the consolidated condensed interim financial statements. 

Cash and restricted cash consists of cash bank balances held in major financial institutions in Canada and the United States with a high credit quality and therefore the Company is exposed to minimal credit risk on these assets. The Company assesses the credit risk of its account receivable and finance lease receivables at each reporting period end and on an annual basis. As at June 30, 2022 the Company recognized an allowance / (recovery) for credit losses of $73,417, against its accounts receivable (March 31, 2022 - $44,579) (Note 4).

Liquidity risk

The Company tries to ensure that there is sufficient capital in order to meet short-term business requirements, after taking into account the Company's cash balances and available liquidity on the Company's $8 million operating line of credit. The Company's cash is invested in bank accounts at major financial institutions in Canada and the United States and is available on demand. The Company will continue to rely on additional financings to further its operations and meet its capital requirements.

Market risks

Market risk is the risk of loss that may arise from changes in market factors such as interest rates and foreign exchange. The Company is exposed to interest rate risk with respect to its Line of Credit (Note 9).

The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk as it conducts business in both the United States and Canada.  Management monitors its foreign currency balances, but the Company does not engage in any hedging activities to reduce its foreign currency risk.

At June 30, 2022, the Company was exposed to currency risk through the following financial assets and liabilities in CDN Dollars.

Cash $ 62,990  
Accounts Receivable $ 57,629  
Loans from related parties $ (2,361,821 )
Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities $ (315,043 )

The CDN/USD exchange rate as at June 30, 2022 was $0.776 (March 31, 2022 - $0.8003). Based on the net exposure and assuming all other variables remain constant, a 10% change in the appreciation or depreciation of the Canadian dollar relative to the US dollar would result in a change of approximately $198,000 to other comprehensive income/loss.

15. Capital Management

The Company's capital management objective is to obtain sufficient capital to develop new business opportunities for the benefit of its shareholders. To meet these objectives, management monitors the Company's ongoing capital requirements on specific business opportunities on a case-by-case basis. The capital structure of the Company consists of cash, operating line of credit, loans from related parties and equity attributable to common shareholders, consisting of issued share capital and deficit.

As at June 30, 2022, the Company had a cash and restricted cash balance of $5,431,324 working capital of $28,311,145, accumulated deficit of ($50,585,493) and shareholder's equity of $31,678,844. Subject to market conditions and other factors the Company may raise additional capital in the future to fund and grow its business for the benefit of shareholders. There has been no change to the Company's approach to financial management during the quarter. The Company is subject to externally imposed capital requirements with respect to its line of credit (Note 9).

16. Related Party Transactions

A summary of compensation and other amounts paid to directors, officers and key management personnel is as follows:

    For the Three Months Ended

3) Amounts recognized for related party stock-based compensation are included in Share-based payments on the Consolidated Condensed Interim Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.

Accounts payable and accrued liabilities at June 30, 2022 included $206,444 (March 31, 2022 - $243,773)  owed to officers, directors, and companies controlled by officers and directors, and shareholders, which is  non-interest bearing, unsecured and has no fixed terms of repayment.

During May and June, 2022 GreenPower received 5 loans totaling CAD$2,325,000 ($1,823,014) from a company that is beneficially owned by the CEO and Chairman of the Company. The loans bear interest at 12.0% per annum plus such additional bonus interest, if any, as may be agreed to and approved by GreenPower's Board of Directors at a later date. The loans mature on the earlier of (i) the date that the Borrower completes a debt or equity financing, (ii) from receipt of excess proceeds on the sale of buses or (iii) March 31, 2023. The Company has agreed to grant the lender a general security assignment on the assets of GreenPower Motor Company Inc., which will be subordinated to any security assignment of senior lenders. Subsequent to the end of the quarter an additional CAD $100,000 was loaned to the Company from

the company beneficially owned by the CEO and Chairman of the Company, on the same terms (Note 22). In addition, CAD$325,000 was advanced to the Company at the end of July from the Company beneficially owned by the CEO and Chairman of the Company on a short-term basis at an interest rate of nil, and this amount is expected to be repaid during August 2022, with no interest (Note 22).

A director of the Company and the Company's CEO and Chairman have each provided personal guarantees of $2,510,000, or $5,020,000 in total to support the Company's $8 million operating line of credit. In consideration for these guarantees, in June 2018 the Company issued 628,571 non-transferrable common share purchase warrants exercisable at an exercise price of CDN $4.55 per share and in March 2019 the Company issued 685,714 non-transferrable common share purchase warrants exercisable at an exercise price of CDN $4.20 per share. During the year ended March 31, 2022 the director of the Company and the Company's CEO and Chairman exercised all of these warrants for 1,314,285 common shares of the Company.

These transactions were measured at the exchange amount, which is the amount agreed upon by the transacting parties.

17. Income Taxes

Income tax expense is recognized based on management's best estimate of weighted average annual income tax rate for the full financial year applied to the pre-tax income of the reporting period. The Company's effective tax rate for the period ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021 was 27.00%.

As at June 30, 2022 and March 31, 2022 the Company has approximately $12,800,000 and $12,400,000 respectively, of non-capital losses carry forwards available to reduce Canadian taxable income for future years. As at June 30, 2022 and March 31, 2022 the Company has approximately $19,600,000 and $17,700,000, respectively, of net operating losses carry forwards available to reduce future taxable income in the United States. The losses in Canada and United States expire between 2030 and 2043 if unused. The potential benefits of these carry-forward non-capital losses has not been recognized in these consolidated condensed interim financial statements as it is not considered probable that sufficient future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

18. Segmented Information and Other Additional Disclosures

The Company operates in one reportable operating segment, being the manufacture and distribution of all-electric transit, school and charter buses.

The Company's revenues allocated by geography for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 are as follows:

    For the Three Months Ended

Canada    161,450     323,900  
             
Total $ 3,851,105   $ 2,980,086

19. Warranty Liability

The Company generally provides its customers with a base warranty on the entire transit, school or charter bus. The Company also provides certain extended warranties, including those covering brake systems, lower-level components, fleet defect provisions and battery-related components, covering a warranty period of approximately one to five years, depending on the contract. Management estimates the related provision for future warranty claims based on historical warranty claim information as well as recent trends that might suggest past cost information may differ from future claims. It is expected that some of these costs will be incurred in the next fiscal year and the remaining will be incurred beyond two years of the reporting date. The warranty provision is recorded at 3.5% of revenue from product sales.

20. Litigation and Legal Matters

As of the date of this report the Company is not currently a party to any litigation or legal proceedings which are material, either individually or in the aggregate. The Company has filed a civil claim against the prior CEO and Director of the Company in the Province of British Columbia, and the prior CEO and Director of the Company has filed a response with a counterclaim for wrongful dismissal in the Province of British Columbia. In addition, a company owned and controlled by a former employee who provided services to a subsidiary company of GreenPower until August 2013 filed a claim for breach of confidence against GreenPower in July 2020. The Company does not expect the outcome of the claim filed against it, to be material, and as of the date of this report the resolution of these claims, including the potential timing or financial impact of these claims is inherently uncertain.

21. Restatement

On adoption of IFRS 16 Leases, management performed an evaluation of the components of revenue and cost of sales at lease inception for leases that were determined to be finance leases. In this initial determination, management excluded the present value of the purchase option on finance leases from revenue and instead recorded the present value of the purchase option against cost of sales. During the course of the audit of the Company's financial results for the year ended March 31, 2022, and after discussion with experts and further consideration of interpretations of IFRS 16, the Company changed its determination of revenue and cost of sales at lease inception for finance leases to include the present value of the purchase option on finance leases. The Company corrected these errors and restated the presentation of revenue and cost of sales in its consolidated revenue and cost of sales in the consolidated statements of operations for the years ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, as disclosed in the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and management discussion and analysis for the years ended March 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020. There was no impact on operating income or net income from these changes, and no changes in working capital, assets, liabilities and cash flow.

On July 5, 2022 a company that is beneficially owned by the CEO and Chairman of the Company loaned GreenPower CAD$100,000, with the terms described in Note 16. In addition, CAD$325,000 was advanced to the Company at the end of July from the Company beneficially owned by the CEO and Chairman of the Company on a short-term basis at an interest rate of nil, and this amount is expected to be repaid during August 2022, with no interest.

On July 7, 2022 GreenPower into an asset purchase agreement with Lion Truck Body, a truck body manufacturer, under which Greenpower has purchased the assets of the business through a wholly owned subsidiary. GreenPower’s purchase of Lion Truck Body is comprised of upfront cash payments totaling $215,000 (which has been paid), the assumption of certain liabilities totaling approximately $1.45 million, and remaining cash payments of up to $25,000, which remain subject to customary adjustments and other post-closing conditions.  

On May 2, 2022 GreenPower entered into a contract of lease-purchase with the South Charleston Development Authority (the “Lessor”) for a six acre parcel of land including an 80,000 square foot manufacturing facility with Additional Parcels to be acquired bordering the property totaling approximately five acres, in South Charleston, West Virginia. Occupancy of the property began in August 2022 and the term of the lease-purchase contract is sixteen years. Under the terms of the contract, monthly payments of $50,000 will begin nine months after the occupancy date and applied against the $6.7 million without the Additional Parcels or $8.0 million if the Additional Parcels are acquired by the Lessor. Subject to meeting employment targets at the property, GreenPower is eligible for forgiveness of up to $1,300,000 for the initial target and then $500,000 for every 100 employees thereafter, and title to the property, including the Additional Parcels if applicable, will transfer to GreenPower upon payment of the total loan amount less any applicable loan forgiveness. On the commencement date of the lease GreenPower will recognize the lease liability and associated asset on its consolidated financial statements.

Description of Business

GreenPower designs, builds and distributes a full suite of high-floor and low-floor all-electric medium and heavy-duty vehicles, including transit buses, school buses, shuttles, cargo van and a cab and chassis.  GreenPower employs a clean-sheet design to manufacture all-electric buses that are purpose built to be battery powered with zero emissions while integrating global suppliers for key components. This OEM platform allows GreenPower to meet the specifications of various operators while providing standard parts for ease of maintenance and accessibility for warranty requirements. GreenPower was founded in Vancouver, British Colombia, Canada with primary operational facilities in southern California. Listed on the TSX Venture Exchange since November 2015, GreenPower completed its U.S. IPO and NASDAQ listing in August 2020. For further information go to www.greenpowermotor.com

Operations

The following is a description of GreenPower's business activities during the three months ended June 30, 2022. During the quarter, GreenPower completed the sale of 3 BEAST Type D all-electric school buses, 2 EV Star Plus, 1 EV Star Cargo Plus, 5 EV Star 22-foot cargo, 6 EV Stars and 4 EV Star Cab and Chassis, and recognized revenue from finance and operating leases and other sources. In addition, GreenPower progressed several strategic initiatives to expand its production capacity and position the Company for its next phase of growth.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
For the period ended June 30, 2022
Discussion dated: as of August 15, 2022

 

First, GreenPower began manufacturing its first few tranches of EV Star CC’s for the 1,500 unit purchase and sale contract with Workhorse Group, Inc (“Workhorse”). During the quarter, GreenPower coordinated with its suppliers for the delivery of key components and initiated production of 100 vehicle tranches of EV Star CC’s. By the end of the quarter the first 100 EV Star CC’s were near completion, the next tranche had entered production and key components for additional tranches had been ordered. The first deliveries to Workhorse began in July, with follow-on deliveries made in August. GreenPower’s team is working closely with Workhorse to assist with the integration on the EV Star CC’s

Second, GreenPower was engaged in the diligence and negotiation of the acquisition of Lion Truck Body, a truck body manufacturer located near the port of Long Beach in Los Angeles. Lion Truck Body manufactures and instals a complete line of truck bodies including dry-freight aluminum, refrigerated box, aluminum beds, stake bed, flat bed and service body. With the successful closing of the acquisition in July, GreenPower is vertically integrating an important component of its supply chain, as the Company is now able to send EV Star CC's to Lion Truck Body for body installation for customers, which captures another revenue stream that is currently being sent to third-party body manufacturers.   

Third, during the quarter GreenPower entered into a Contract of Lease-Purchase for the facility in South Charleston, West Virginia, which commenced in August. GreenPower also progressed several initiatives in the state, including preparing to setup the manufacturing facility, undertaking a number of human resources and hiring activities, and engaging with the state for commencement of operations and electric vehicle demonstrations. Greenpower's facility in West Virginia will be its North American school bus manufacturing location, with an initial focus on Type A Nano-BEAST all-electric buses, followed by Type D BEAST all-electric buses over time. Given the scale of operations GreenPower is planning for in West Virginia, the set-up and scale-out of the manufacturing facility will occur over several quarters, and these activities will support concurrent sales initiatives in West Virginia and across the country.

Finally, GreenPower continued to build out its dealer network across the US, with a current focus to expand its school bus dealer network. GreenPower has several ongoing discussions with dealers in the Mid-West, North-East and Pacific North West, and delivered its first 2 Type D BEAST all-electric school buses to a dealer that will use these as demonstration units in Arizona and Nevada. GreenPower anticipates that initial deliveries of demonstration units across its dealer network will expand this sales channel, and better position the Company to leverage significant local, state and federal funding for all-electric school buses that is available. 

GreenPower completed the sale of 3 BEAST Type D all-electric school buses during the quarter, two of which were for demonstration vehicles, and the third to a school district in California. GreenPower anticipates that near term school bus sales will be to its dealer network, and that the announcement of federal funding this fall and continued sales in California leveraging HVIP vouchers, School Bus Set Aside funds and CEC funding will be a significant driver of future all-electric school bus sales.

GreenPower is seeing strong demand for its 22-foot EV Star cargo and completed the sale of 5 of these vehicles to customers based in New Jersey during the quarter. Additional deliveries of these vehicles to customers in California and New Jersey continued in July and August, with further deliveries anticipated for the remainder of the quarter. Remaining deliveries during the quarter of a range of EV Stars and EV Star CC's will be used by a broad cross-section of end-users engaged in operations at airports, universities, health care and transit operations, demonstrating the diverse range of applications for the EV Star platform.

(1) Non-IFRS Financial Measures:

"Total Cash Expenses" as reflected above reflects the total expenses of the Company (the sum of total sales, general and administrative costs plus interest and accretion, plus/(less) the foreign exchange loss/(gain)) excluding depreciation, accretion and accrued interest, share-based payments, amortization of deferred financing fees, net warranty accrual and (allowance)/recovery for credit losses. Total Cash Expenses is a measure used by the Company as an indicator of cash expenses that excludes the impact of certain non-cash charges. Therefore, Total Cash Expenses gives the investor information as to the ongoing cash expenses from the operations of the business. However, Total Cash Expenses is not a measure of financial performance under IFRS and should not be considered a substitute for other financial measures of performance. Total Cash Expenses as calculated by GreenPower may not be comparable to Total Cash Expenses as calculated and reported by other companies.

"Adjusted EBITDA" as reflected above reflects net income or loss before interest, taxes, share-based payments, depreciation and amortization, allowance/(recovery) for credit losses and net warranty accrual. Adjusted EBITDA is a measure used by analysts and investors as an indicator of operating cash flow since it excludes the impact of movements in working capital items, non-cash charges and financing costs. Therefore, Adjusted EBITDA gives the investor information as to the cash generated from the operations of a business.  However, Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under IFRS and should not be considered a substitute for other financial measures of performance. Adjusted EBITDA as calculated by GreenPower may not be comparable to Adjusted EBITDA as calculated and reported by other companies. The most comparable IFRS measure to Adjusted EBITDA is net income.

Liquidity

At June 30, 2022, the Company had a cash and restricted cash balance of $5,431,324 and working capital of $28,311,145. The Company's line of credit has a maximum credit limit of up to $8,000,000 and amounts available on the line of credit in excess of $5,000,000 are subject to margining requirements, and as at June 30, 2022 the Line of Credit had a drawn balance of $7,877,927. The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it based on available funds to the Company. The Company may continue to rely on additional financings and the sale of its inventory to further its operations and meet its capital requirements to manufacture EV vehicles, expand its production capacity and further develop its sales, marketing, engineering, and technical resources.

Capital Resources

Three months ended June 30, 2022

Authorized: Unlimited number of common shares without par value

Authorized: Unlimited number of preferred shares without par value

The Company has an incentive stock option plan whereby it grants options to directors, officers, employees, and consultants of the Company. Effective April 19, 2022, GreenPower adopted the 2022 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2022 Plan"), which replaced the 2019 Plan and after this date no further stock options will be granted under the 2019 Plan. Under the 2022 Plan the Company can grant equity-based incentive awards in the form of stock options ("Options"), restricted share units ("RSUs"), performance share units ("PSUs") and deferred share units ("DSUs"). RSU's, DSU's and PSU's are collectively referred to as "Performance Based Awards". The 2022 Plan is a Rolling Plan for Options and a fixed-plan for Performance-Based Awards such that the aggregate number of Shares that: (i) may be issued upon the exercise or settlement of Options granted under the 2022 Plan (and all of the Company's other Security-Based Compensation Arrangements), shall not exceed10% of the Company's issued and outstanding Shares from time to time, and (ii) may be issued in respect of Performance-Based Awards granted under the 2022 Plan (and all of the Company's other Security-Based Compensation Arrangements) shall not exceed 2,314,803. The 2022 Plan is considered an "evergreen" plan, since Options which have been exercised, cancelled, terminated, surrendered, forfeited or expired without being exercised shall be available for subsequent grants under the 2022 Plan and the number of awards available to grant increases as the number of issued and outstanding Shares increases.

On May 14, 2019, the Company replaced its Fixed Stock Option Plan (the "2016 Plan") with a Rolling Stock Option Plan (the "2019 Plan"). Under the terms of the 2019 Plan, the aggregate number of Options that can be granted under the 2019 Plan cannot exceed ten (10%) of the total number of issued and outstanding Shares, calculated on a non-diluted basis. The exercise price of options granted under the 2019 Plan may not be less than the minimum prevailing price permitted by the TSXV policies with a maximum term of 10 years.

The Company completed a seven-for-one share consolidation on August 28, 2020. All figures in this note  have been retroactively restated to give effect to this share consolidation.

On March 9, 2016, the shareholders approved the previous stock option plan which initially allowed for the issuance of up to 1,491,541 shares and which was subsequently further increased to allow up to 2,129,999 shares to be issued under the plan (the "2016 Plan"). Prior to the adoption of the 2016 Plan, the Company  had adopted an incentive stock option plan (the "Plan"), whereby it could grant options to directors, officers, employees, and consultants of the Company.

Related Party Transactions

A summary of compensation and other amounts paid to directors, officers and key management personnel is as follows:

    For the Three Months Ended  
    June 30, 2022     June 30, 2021  
             
Salaries and Benefits (1) $ 124,110   $ 106,351  
Consulting fees (2)   85,000     85,000  
Non-cash Options Vested (3)   1,005,602     546,505  
Total $ 1,214,712   $ 737,856  

1) Salaries and benefits incurred with directors and officers are included in Administrative fees on the Consolidated Condensed Interim Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.

2) Consulting fees included in Administrative Fees on the Consolidated Condensed Interim Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss are paid to the Chairman and CEO for management consulting services, as well as Director's fees paid to GreenPower's four independent directors. 

3) Amounts recognized for related party stock-based compensation are included in Share-based payments on the Consolidated Condensed Interim Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.

Accounts payable and accrued liabilities at June 30, 2022 included $206,444 (March 31, 2022 - $243,773)  owed to officers, directors, and companies controlled by officers and directors, and shareholders, which is  non-interest bearing, unsecured and has no fixed terms of repayment.

During May and June, 2022 GreenPower received 5 loans totaling CAD$2,325,000 ($1,823,014) from a company that is beneficially owned by the CEO and Chairman of the Company. The loans bear interest at 12.0% per annum plus such additional bonus interest, if any, as may be agreed to and approved by GreenPower's Board of Directors at a later date. The loans mature on the earlier of (i) the date that the Borrower completes a debt or equity financing, (ii) from receipt of excess proceeds on the sale of buses or (iii) March 31, 2023. The Company has agreed to grant the lender a general security assignment on the assets of GreenPower Motor Company Inc., which will be subordinated to any security assignment of senior lenders. Subsequent to the end of the quarter an additional CAD $100,000 was loaned to the Company from the company beneficially owned by the CEO and Chairman of the Company, on the same terms. In addition, CAD$325,000 was advanced to the Company at the end of July from the company beneficially owned by the CEO and Chairman of the Company on a short-term basis at an interest rate of nil, and this amount is expected to be repaid during August 2022, with no interest.

A director of the Company and the Company's CEO and Chairman have each provided personal guarantees of $2,510,000, or $5,020,000 in total to support the Company's $8 million operating line of credit. In consideration for these guarantees, in June 2018 the Company issued 628,571 non-transferrable common share purchase warrants exercisable at an exercise price of CDN $4.55 per share and in March 2019 the Company issued 685,714 non-transferrable common share purchase warrants exercisable at an exercise price of CDN $4.20 per share. During the year ended March 31, 2022 the director of the Company and the Company's CEO and Chairman exercised all of these warrants for 1,314,285 common shares of the Company.

These transactions were measured at the exchange amount, which is the amount agreed upon by the transacting parties.

New and Amended Standards

Adoption of accounting standards

Amendments to IAS 37, which became effective for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2022, was amended to specify which costs an entity includes in determining the cost of fulfilling a contract for the purpose of assessing whether the contract is onerous. Amendments to IAS 37 did not cause a change to the Company’s financial statements.

Future accounting pronouncements

Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published by the IASB or the IFRS Interpretations Committee that are not mandatory for the June 30, 2022 reporting period.

The Company has reviewed new and revised accounting pronouncements that have been issued but are not yet effective. The Company has not early adopted any of these standards and is currently evaluating the impact, if any, that these standards might have on its consolidated condensed interim financial statements.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Significant assumptions about the future and other sources of estimation uncertainty that management has made at the end of the reporting period, that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities, in the event that actual results differ from assumptions made, relate to, but are not limited to, determination of the useful life of equipment, the carrying value of accounts receivable and promissory note receivable and the associated allowance for credit losses, net realizable value of inventory, provision for warranty expense, and the $nil provision for income taxes. Critical estimates used in the preparation of these accounting statements include but are not limited to the following:

Critical accounting judgments

i. the determination of the discount rate to use to discount the promissory note receivable, finance lease receivable and lease liabilities;

ii. the determination of the functional currency of each entity within the consolidated Company;

iii. the Company's ability to continue as a going concern;

iv. The classification of leases as either financial leases or operating leases;

v. The determination that there are no material undisclosed matters requiring recognition on the financial statements as either a provision, a contingent liability, or a contingent asset; and

vi. The identification of performance obligations in revenue contracts and the determination of when they are satisfied.

Financial Instruments

The Company's financial instruments consist of cash and restricted cash, accounts receivable, finance lease receivables, line of credit, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, loans from related parties, other liabilities and lease liabilities.

The Company has exposure to the following financial instrument related risks.

Credit risk

The Company's exposure to credit risk is on its cash, restricted cash, accounts receivable, promissory note receivable, and on its finance lease receivables. The maximum exposure to credit risk is their carrying amounts in the consolidated statement of Financial Statements.

Cash and restricted cash consists of cash bank balances held in major financial institutions in Canada and the United States with a high credit quality and therefore the Company is exposed to minimal risk. The Company assesses the credit risk of its account receivable, finance lease receivables and promissory note receivable at each reporting period end and on an annual basis. As at June 30, 2021 the Company recognized an allowance/(recovery) for credit losses of $28,957 against its accounts receivable (June 30, 2021 - ($14,670).

Liquidity risk

The Company tries to ensure that there is sufficient capital in order to meet short-term business requirements, after taking into account the Company's cash balances and available liquidity on the Company's $8 million operating line of credit. The Company's cash is invested in bank accounts at major financial institutions in Canada and the United States and is available on demand. The Company will continue to rely on additional financings to further its operations and meet its capital requirements.

Market risks

Market risk is the risk of loss that may arise from changes in market factors such as interest rates and foreign exchange. The Company is exposed to interest rate risk with respect to its Line of Credit. The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk as it conducts business in both the United States and Canada. Management monitors its foreign currency balances but the Company does not engage in any hedging activities to reduce its foreign currency risk.

At June 30, 2022, the Company was exposed to currency risk through the following monetary assets and liabilities in CDN Dollars.

Cash $ 62,990  
Accounts Receivable $ 57,629  
Loans from related parties $ (2,361,821 )
Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities $ (315,043 )

The CDN/USD exchange rate as at June 30, 2022 was $0.776 (March 31, 2022 - $0.8003). Based on the net exposure and assuming all other variables remain constant, a 10% change in the appreciation or depreciation of the Canadian dollar relative to the US dollar would result in a change of approximately $198,000 to other comprehensive income/loss.

Capital Management

The Company's capital management objective is to obtain sufficient capital to develop new business opportunities for the benefit of its shareholders. To meet these objectives, management monitors the Company's ongoing capital requirements on specific business opportunities on a case-by-case basis. The capital structure of the Company consists of cash, operating line of credit, loans from related parties and equity attributable to common shareholders, consisting of issued share capital and deficit.

As at June 30, 2022, the Company had a cash and restricted cash balance of $5,431,324 working capital of $28,311,145, accumulated deficit of ($50,585,493) and shareholder's equity of $31,678,844. Subject to market conditions and other factors the Company may raise additional capital in the future to fund and grow its business for the benefit of shareholders. There has been no change to the Company's approach to financial management during the quarter. The Company is subject to externally imposed capital requirements with respect to its line of credit.

Outlook

For the immediate future, the Company plans to:

  • Complete production and delivery of several models of EV Stars and BEAST school buses currently in various stages of production;

  • Deliver the remaining vehicles in finished goods inventory;

  • Complete the setup of the West Virginia school bus manufacturing facility and begin production of all-electric school buses in the new facility;

  • Integrate the business asset acquisition of Lion Truck Body;

  • Continue to develop and expand sales opportunities and increase sales backlog;

  • Further develop its sales and marketing, engineering and technical resources and capabilities.

Capitalization and Outstanding Security Data

The total number of common shares issued and outstanding is 23,151,360 as of June 30, 2022. There are no preferred shares issued and outstanding.

An incentive stock option plan was established for the benefit of directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company. As of June 30, 2022, there are 1,651,437 options granted and outstanding.

As at August 12, 2022 the Company had 23,151,360 issued shares and 1,557,579 options outstanding.

Disclosure of Internal Controls

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures in order to provide reasonable assurance that material information relating to the Company is made known to them in a timely manner and that information required to be disclosed is reported within time periods prescribed by applicable securities legislation. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. In preparing our consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2022 and 2021 and for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 we identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness was identified in our control environment related to errors that were made in determining the components of revenue and cost of sales at lease inception for leases that were determined to be finance leases, and in the calculation of revenue and cost of sales associated with cancelled leases. We have corrected these errors and restated the presentation of revenue and cost of sales in our consolidated revenue and cost of sales in the consolidated statements of operations for the years ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. Management is in the process of implementing changes and controls to ensure the control deficiencies contributing to the material weakness will be remediated.  The remediation actions include hiring of additional financial reporting and accounting staff.

Risk Factors

Investing in the common shares of the Company involves risk. Prospective investors should carefully consider the risks described below, together with all of the other information included in this MD&A before making an investment decision. If any of the following risks actually occurs, the business, financial condition or results of operations of the Company could be harmed. In such an event, the trading price of the common shares could decline and prospective investors may lose part or all of their investment.

Operational Risk

The Company is exposed to many types of operational risks that affect all companies. Operational risk is the risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people and/or systems. Operational risk is present in all of the Company's business activities, and incorporates exposure relating to fiduciary breaches, product liability claims, product recalls, regulatory compliance failures, legal disputes, business disruption, technology failures, business integration, damage to physical assets, employee safety, dependence on suppliers, foreign exchange fluctuations, insurance coverage and rising insurance costs.  Such risks also include the risk of misconduct, theft or fraud by employees or others, unauthorized transactions by employees, operational or human error or not having sufficient levels or quality of staffing resources to successfully achieve the Company's strategic or operational objectives. The occurrence of an event caused by an operational risk that is material could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, liquidity and operating results.

COVID-19 Global Pandemic

The Company faces risks from the COVID-19 global pandemic which has had, and may continue to have, a material adverse impact on our business and financial condition. While we have recently seen a gradual re-opening of the economy, and a resumption of travel and sales activity, this activity is not at the level it was prior to the pandemic and the future impact of the COVID-19 global pandemic is inherently uncertain, and may negatively impact the financial ability of our customers to purchase vehicles from us, of our suppliers' ability to deliver products used in the manufacture of our all-electric vehicles, in our employees' ability to manufacture our vehicles and to carry out their other duties in order to sustain our business, and in our ability to collect certain receivables owing to us, among other factors. These factors may continue to have a negative impact on our financial results, operations, outlook, goals, growth prospects, cash flows, liquidity and share price, and the potential timing, severity, and ultimate duration of any potential negative impacts is uncertain.

No Operating History

The Company has not paid any dividends and may not produce earnings or pay dividends in the immediate or foreseeable future.

Reliance on Management

The Company is relying solely on the past business success of its directors and officers. The success of the Company is dependent upon the efforts and abilities of its directors, officers and employees. The loss of any of its directors, officers or employees could have a material adverse effect upon the business and prospects of the Company.

Volatile Operating Results

Our orders with our customers generally require time-consuming customization and specification. We incur significant operating expenses when we are building a bus prior to sale or designing and testing a new bus. If there are delays in the sale of buses to customers, such delays may lead to significant fluctuations in results of operations from quarter to quarter, making it difficult to predict our financial performance on a quarterly basis.

Competition in the industry

The Company competes against a number of existing manufacturers of all-electric buses, traditional diesel buses and other buses with various models based on size, purpose or performance features. The Company competes in the non-diesel or alternative fuel segment of this market. Several of the Company's competitors, both publicly listed and privately owned, have recently raised a significant amount of capital to invest in the growth and development of their businesses which has increased the competitive threat from several well-capitalized competitors. In addition to existing competitors in various market segments, there is the potential for future competitors to enter the market over the next several years.

Current requirements and regulations may change or become more onerous

The Company's products must comply with local regulatory and safety requirements in order to be allowed to operate within the relevant jurisdiction or to qualify for funding. These requirements are subject to change and one regulatory environment is not indicative of another.

Reliance on Key Suppliers

Our products contain numerous purchased parts which we source globally directly from suppliers, some of which are single-source suppliers, although we attempt to qualify and obtain components from multiple sources whenever feasible. Any significant increases in our production may require us to procure additional components in a short amount of time, and in the past we have also replaced certain suppliers because of their failure to provide components that met our quality control standards or our timing requirements. There is no assurance that we will be able to secure additional or alternate sources of supply for our components or develop our own replacements in a timely manner, if at all. If we encounter unexpected difficulties with key suppliers, and if we are unable to fill these needs from other suppliers, we could experience production delays and potential loss of access to important technology and parts for producing, servicing and supporting our products.

Provision for Warranty Costs

The Company offers warranties on the transit, charter and school buses it sells. Management estimates the related provision for future warranty claims based on historical warranty claim information as well as recent trends that might suggest past cost information may differ from future claims. Factors that could impact the estimated claim information include the success of the Company's productivity and quality initiatives as well as parts and labour costs. Actual warranty expense will differ from the provisions which are estimated by management.

Sales, Marketing, Government Grants and Subsidies

Presently, the initial price of the Company's products are higher than a traditional diesel bus and certain grants and subsidies are available to offset these higher prices. These grants and subsidies include but are not limited to the Hybrid and Zero-Emission Truck and Bus Voucher Incentive Project ("HVIP") from the California Air Resources Board ("CARB") in partnership with Calstart, the Specialty-Use Vehicle Incentive Program funded by the Province of British Columbia, Canada, the clean trucks NYSERDA program and the New York Voucher Incentive Program in the state of New York, the South Coast AQMD funding in California, Federal Transit Authority funding for eligible transit properties across the US, and VW Mitigation Trust Funds allocated to programs throughout the US. The ability for potential purchasers to receive funding from these programs is subject to the risk of the programs being funded by governments, and the risk of the delay in the timing of advancing funds to the specific programs. To the extent that program funding is not approved, or if the funding is approved but timing of advancing of funds is delayed, subject to cancellation, or otherwise uncertain, this could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, operating results and prospects.

Litigation and Legal Proceedings

As of the date of this report the Company is not currently a party to any litigation or legal proceedings which are material, either individually or in the aggregate. The Company has filed a civil claim against the prior CEO and Director of the Company in the Province of British Columbia, and the prior CEO and Director of the Company has filed a response with a counterclaim for wrongful dismissal in the Province of British Columbia. In addition, a company owned and controlled by a former employee who provided services to a subsidiary Company of GreenPower until August 2013 filed a claim for breach of confidence against GreenPower in July 2020. The Company does not expect the outcome of the claim filed against it, to be material, and as of the date of this report the resolution of these claims, including the potential timing or financial impact of these claims is inherently uncertain.

Tariffs and Trade Restrictions

The United States and China signed a trade agreement in January 2020 after a trade war between the two countries that led to the implementation of tariffs on approximately $360 billion of Chinese imports to the United States. GreenPower's buses include parts and components imported from China, and tariffs are applied to imports of these products to the United States. These tariffs have increased the cost of GreenPower's buses imported to the United States and have had and are expected to continue to have a negative impact on our gross margins, profitability, financial performance and financial position. Any escalation of the tariffs on imported goods from China and other countries to the United States, or the imposition of other types of trade restrictions, will cause further negative impacts to our gross margin, profitability, financial performance and financial position.

Conflict in Ukraine

The escalating conflict in Ukraine has resulted in volatility and uncertainty on the economy and financial markets. It is uncertain how long the conflict, economic sanctions and market instability will continue and whether they will escalate further. Management has given consideration as to the impact of the conflict on the Company and concluded that there is currently no impact but there is uncertainty with respect to the potential impact on the Company's ability to raise equity or debt financing in the future.

Reliance on Shipping

We rely on global shipping for vehicles that we produce at contract manufacturers, and for certain parts and components sourced from our global network of suppliers. We have experienced an increase in shipping costs and have experienced delays of deliveries of parts and components from our global suppliers, and on vehicles arriving from our contract manufacturers. While these delays and cost increases are not currently at a level that they have caused a material disruption or negative impact to our profitability, these delays and costs may increase to a point that they may negatively impact our financial results and ability to grow our business. 

Events after the reporting period

On July 4, 2022 15,000 stock options exercisable at CAD$4.25 per share and a term of five years were issued to an employee, and subsequent to the end of the quarter a total of 108,858 options exercisable at a weighted average price of CAD$15.00 per share were forfeited. 

On July 5, 2022 a company that is beneficially owned by the CEO and Chairman of the Company loaned GreenPower CAD$100,000, with the same interest rate and terms as existing loans from related parties. In addition, CAD$325,000 was advanced to the Company at the end of July from the company beneficially owned by the CEO and Chairman of the Company on a short-term basis at an interest rate of nil, and this amount is expected to be repaid during August 2022, with no interest.

On July 7, 2022 GreenPower into an asset purchase agreement with Lion Truck Body, a truck body manufacturer, under which Greenpower has purchased the assets of the business through a wholly owned subsidiary. GreenPower’s purchase of Lion Truck Body is comprised of upfront cash payments totaling $215,000, the assumption of certain liabilities totaling approximately $1.45 million, and remaining cash payments of up to $25,000, which remain subject to customary adjustments and other post-closing conditions. The Company has determined that this transaction represented a business combination, as defined by IFRS 3. As the transaction closed in July 2022, the initial allocation of the purchase price to the assets and liabilities is not complete, including the determination of an allocation of the purchase price to goodwill and identifiable intangible assets. We will disclose a preliminary purchase price allocation in our second quarter 2023 consolidated condensed interim financial statements.   

On May 2, 2022 GreenPower entered into a contract of lease-purchase with the South Charleston Development Authority (the “Lessor”) for a six acre parcel of land including an 80,000 square foot manufacturing facility with Additional Parcels to be acquired bordering the property totaling approximately five acres, in South Charleston, West Virginia. Occupancy of the property began in August 2022 and the term of the lease-purchase contract is sixteen years. Under the terms of the contract, monthly payments of $50,000 will begin nine months after the occupancy date and applied against the $6.7 million without the Additional Parcels or $8.0 million if the Additional Parcels are acquired by the Lessor. Subject to meeting employment targets at the property, GreenPower is eligible for forgiveness of up to $1,300,000 for the initial target and then $500,000 for every 100 employees thereafter, and title to the property, including the Additional Parcels if applicable, will transfer to GreenPower upon payment of the total loan amount less any applicable loan forgiveness. On the commencement date of the lease GreenPower will recognize the lease liability and associated asset on its consolidated financial statements.

Press Release

GreenPower Reports Fiscal First Quarter 2023 Results

Vancouver, Canada August 15, 2022 - GreenPower Motor Company Inc. (NASDAQ: GP) (TSXV: GPV) ("GreenPower" or the "Company"), a leading manufacturer and distributor of zero-emission, electric-powered, medium and heavy-duty vehicles, today announced the results for its quarter ended June 30, 2022.

"We've achieved a number of milestones across various segments of our business including the first deliveries of our EV Star Cab and Chassis (EV Star CC) to Workhorse in July, expansion of the dealer network for our all-electric school buses, the acquisition of Lion Truck Body and entering into a Contract of Lease-Purchase for the facility in West Virginia," said Fraser Atkinson, CEO of GreenPower.  "Our investment in inventory supports the deliveries we're making this summer and through this fall of our all-electric school buses, cargo vans and other EV Star models in addition to the build-up for the Workhorse contract."

Financial Highlights for the quarter:

  • Recorded revenues of $3,851,105 for the current quarter an increase of 29% over the revenue of $2,980,086 for the same quarter last year,
  • Gross profit of 28.8% of revenue,
  • Cash including restricted cash of $5.4 million at the end of the period,
  • Inventory of $39.7 million including finished goods of $24.6 million, and
  • Working capital at the end of the quarter of $28.3 million.

Acquisition of Lion Truck Body:

During the quarter, GreenPower was engaged in the due diligence and negotiation of the acquisition of Lion Truck Body, a truck body manufacturer located near the port of Long Beach in Los Angeles. Lion Truck Body manufactures and instals a complete line of truck bodies including dry-freight aluminum, refrigerated box, aluminum beds, stake bed, flat bed and service body. With the successful closing of the acquisition in July, GreenPower is vertically integrating an important component of its supply chain, as the company is now able to send EV Star CCs to Lion Truck Body for body installation for customers, which captures another revenue stream that is currently being sent to third-party body manufacturers.   

"The combination of GreenPower's EV expertise and the advanced body building experience of Lion Truck Body gives GreenPower a competitive advantage with shortened lead time as well as truck bodies that are optimized for EV Trucks.  We've collaborated with Lion Truck Body to develop our new EV Star Cargo+ refrigerated truck, which is slated for delivery to our first customer this quarter with more payload, longer range and lower cost factor than any competitive EV refrigerated truck in its class on the market" stated Brendan Riley, President of GreenPower.


Supply Agreement with Workhorse:

GreenPower began manufacturing its first few tranches of EV Star CC's for the 1,500 unit purchase and sale contract with Workhorse. During the quarter, GreenPower coordinated with its suppliers for the delivery of key components and initiated production of 100 vehicle tranches of EV Star CC's. By the end of the quarter the first 100 EV Star CC's were near completion, the next tranche had entered production and key components for additional tranches had been ordered. The first deliveries to Workhorse began in July, with follow-on deliveries made in August. GreenPower's team is working closely with Workhorse to assist with the integration on the EV Star CC's.

Dealer Network Expansion for GreenPower's School Buses:

GreenPower presently has more than 40 Type D BEAST and Type A Nano BEAST school buses in finished goods inventory with substantially all of these expected to be sold and delivered by the end of this calendar year.  GreenPower has ongoing discussions with dealers in the Mid-West, North-East and Pacific North West. GreenPower anticipates that initial deliveries across its dealer network will expand this sales channel, and better position the company to leverage significant local, state and federal funding for all-electric school buses. 

EV Star Cargo vans:

During the quarter, GreenPower delivered its first five 22' cargo vans.  Presently, GreenPower has approximately 40 EV Star Cargos in finished goods inventory and customers that have approved vouchers from the California Air Resource Board HVIP program or the New Jersey ZIP program for substantially all of these.

West Virginia Facility:

During the quarter, GreenPower entered into a lease-purchase agreement with the state for an 80,000 square foot facility on six acres of land to manufacture all-electric school buses for the U.S. market. As part of this partnership the state will provide worker training and hiring support, up to $3.5 million in employment incentive payments in exchange for meeting hiring targets and has agreed to purchase up to $15 million of GreenPower vehicles produced at the facility.

Results for the three months ended June 30, 2022

For the three-month period ended June 30, 2022 the Company recorded revenues of $3,851,105 and cost of sales of $2,743,431 generating a gross profit of $1,107,674 or 28.8% of revenues. Revenue was generated from the sale of 3 BEAST Type D all-electric school buses, 2 EV Star Plus, 1 EV Star Cargo+, 5 EV Star 22-foot cargo, 6 EV Stars and 4 EV Star Cab and Chassis, as well as revenue from finance and operating leases and other sources. Operating costs consisted  of  administrative fees of $1,754,768 relating to salaries, project management, accounting, and administrative services; transportation costs of $62,035 which relate to the use of trucks, trailers, contractors as well as other operational costs needed to transport company products around North America; travel, accommodation, meals and entertainment costs of $162,605 related to travel for project management, demonstration of company products, and trade shows; product development costs of $245,118; sales and marketing costs of $366,871; insurance expense of $350,534; professional fees of $312,840 consisting of legal and audit fees; and office expense of $144,484 consisting of rent and other office expenses, as well as non-cash expenses including $1,709,175 of share-based compensation expense and depreciation of $195,608, generating a loss from operations before interest, accretion and foreign exchange of $4,225,321. Interest and accretion of $121,936 and a foreign exchange gain of $1,072 resulted in a loss for the period of $4,346,185.
