1.
Nature and Continuance of Operations

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 financial statements 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.

During the second quarter the Company completed an initial public offering and concurrent private placement for gross proceeds of US$37.7 million less underwriting discounts and offering costs. As at September 30, 2020, the Company had a cash balance of $27,866,610, working capital of $32,477,352, retained earnings of ($26,768,131), and shareholder’s equity of $34,647,254.

The Company faces risks from the COVID-19 global pandemic which has had, and will continue to have, a material adverse impact on our business and financial condition. The future impact of the COVID-19 global pandemic is inherently uncertain, and is expected to 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. In addition, COVID-19 has caused a significant reduction in public transit ridership, which is one of the primary market segments served by Greenpower, which may lead to reduced future sales to this segment, as transit properties adjust to changing demand for their services. We have taken steps to modify our business and operations in order to manage impacts caused by the COVID-19 global pandemic and resulting government and regulatory health orders, these factors are expected to 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 and ultimate duration of these negative impacts is uncertain.

Significant Accounting Policies

 (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, 2020.

These Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements were prepared under the historical cost convention, except for certain items not carried at historical cost as discussed below. All amounts are expressed in US dollars, unless otherwise stated.

(b) Basis of consolidation

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


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 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.

On August 28, 2020 the Company completed a consolidation of its common shares on the basis of seven pre-consolidation shares for one post-consolidation common share. 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. All references to share and per share amounts in these interim consolidated financial statements have been retroactively restated to give effect to this share consolidation unless otherwise stated.

2.
Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(c) Financial instruments

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. The Company did not have any financial instruments measured at FVTPL or FVOCI as at September 30, 2020. 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.

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.

(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 September 30, 2020, and March 31, 2020 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 enters into a few transactions that represent multiple-element arrangements, which may include any combination of products, support and training services, and extended warranty. The allocation of consideration to the multiple-element is dependent on the explicit stand-alone selling price stipulated in the contract term.

(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 Statements of Operations for the period.

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

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

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 Statements of Operations.

(g) Foreign currency translation

The consolidated entities and their respective functional currencies are as follows:

Entity
Functional Currency
GreenPower Motor Company Inc. (parent)
U.S. Dollar
GP GreenPower Industries Inc.
Canadian Dollar
GreenPower Motor Company, Inc.
U.S. Dollar
0939181 BC Ltd.
Canadian Dollar
San Joaquin Valley Equipment Leasing, Inc. (formerly Utah Manganese, Inc.)
U.S. Dollar
0999314 B.C. Ltd.
Canadian Dollar

Translation to functional currency

Foreign currency transactions are translated into U.S. dollars 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 Statements of Operations.

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.

(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.

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

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(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
Automobile 10 years, straight line method
Leased asset 12 years, straight line method
Diesel and Electric 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 Statements of Operations. 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 six months ended September 30, 2020, and September 30, 2019 the Company recorded $2,928,501 and $406,377, respectively, in share issuance costs on its Consolidated Condensed Interim Statements of Changes in Equity in regards to the issuance of shares (Note 10).

(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.

(Unaudited – Prepared by Management)

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(l) Income taxes (Continued)

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 recognizes 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 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 financial statements include estimates which, by their nature, are uncertain. The impacts of such estimates are pervasive throughout the consolidated 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 inputs used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model to measure stock-based compensation and warrants, determination of the useful life of equipment, net realizable value of inventory, provision for warranty expense, and the $nil provision for income taxes.

Effective January 1, 2019, management changed its estimated useful life for diesel and electric buses (including some categorized under Leased Assets in note 9) from 7 years to 12 years.

Critical accounting judgments
i.
The determination of the discount rate to use to discount the promissory note receivable, finance lease receivables 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 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.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(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 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 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.
(p) Government grants

The Company receives grants from government agencies related to sales and leases of its electric buses. The accounting for these grants depends on whether the carrying amount of the vehicle remains with the Company, which is the case for operating leases where the Company is the lessor. For government grants associated with leased vehicles under operating leases, the grant reduces the value of the asset.

(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.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(r) Leases
Effective April 1, 2018, the Company adopted IFRS 16 using the modified retrospective approach and accordingly the information presented for the year ended March 31, 2018 has not been restated. The cumulative effect of the initial application, if any, is recognized in deficit at April 1, 2018. Comparative amounts up to March 31, 2018 remain as previously reported under IAS 17 and related interpretations.
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.
The Company has also elected to apply the practical expedient for excluding the initial direct costs for the measurement of right of use assets at the date of initial application, as well as for using hindsight in determining the lease term where the contract contains options to extend or terminate the lease.
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.

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.

(Unaudited – Prepared by Management)

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

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

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 statements of operations.

Impact on adoption
On initial application, the Company has elected to record right of use assets based on the corresponding lease liabilities, as described more fully in Note 8. Lease liabilities have been measured by discounting future lease payments at the incremental borrowing rate of 8% per annum, and represents the Company’s best estimate of the rate of interest that it would expect to pay to borrow, on a collateralized basis, over a similar term, an amount equal to the lease payments in the current economic environment. As of March 31, 2019, the remaining non-cancelable period of one of the two leases is 29 months, and the other is 42 months.

The application of IFRS 16 to leases previously classified as operating leases under IAS 17, resulted in the recognition of right of use assets and lease liabilities as at April 1, 2018. The following table summarizes the Right of Use Assets of the Company for the year ended March 31, 2019:


During the year ended March 31, 2019, the Company entered into two transactions as lessor, one which was accounted for as an operating lease, and the other as a finance lease (Note 5). The adoption of IFRS 16 did not have a material impact on the financial results for the year ended March 31, 2019 for either of these transactions.

(s) Adoption of accounting standards

The following new or amended standards were adopted during the year ended March 31, 2020:

IAS 23 Borrowing Costs

The amendment to IAS 23 Borrowing Costs clarifies that if any specific borrowing remains outstanding after the related asset is ready for its intended use or sale, that borrowing becomes part of the funds that an entity borrows generally when calculating the capitalization rate on general borrowings.

The amendment to IAS 23 Borrowing Costs did not have an impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company for the year ended March 31, 2020.

(t) 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 March 31, 2020 reporting period.




GREENPOWER MOTOR COMPANY INC.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(t) Future accounting pronouncements (Continued)

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 financial statements.

3.
Restricted Cash

The Company has a restricted cash balance of $151,917 as at September 30, 2020 (March 31, 2020 - $151,908) on deposit at a major financial institution in the United States. The funds relate to a contract for the sale of vehicles and will be returned to the Company within 30 days of acceptance of the vehicles by the customer.

4. Accounts Receivable

The Company has evaluated the carrying value of accounts receivable as at September 30, 2020 in accordance with IFRS 9 and has determined that an allowance against accounts receivable of $20,385 as at September 30, 2020 (March 31, 2020 - $46,447) is warranted.

5.
Finance Lease Receivable

Greenpower’s wholly owned subsidiary San Joaquin Valley Equipment Leasing Inc. (“SJVEL”) leases vehicles to several customers, and as at September 30, 2020 the Company had a total of 63 (March 31, 2020 – 25) vehicles on lease that were determined to be finance leases, and the Company had a total of 2 (March 31, 2020 – 2) vehicles on lease that were determined to be operating leases. During the three months ended September 30, 2020, the Company entered into 20 finance leases, with payments under the leases scheduled to begin in March 2021. For operating leases, lease payments are recognized in revenue when earned.

For the three months and six months ended September 30, 2020, selling profit on finance leases was $750,191 and $1,347,278 respectively. The following table illustrates Finance Lease Receivables as at September 30, 2020 and as at March 31, 2020:

6.
Inventory

The following is a listing of inventory as at September 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020:



7.
Promissory Note Receivable

On January 23, 2018, the Company entered into multiple lease agreements (the “Agreements”) with a third party (the “Customer”) for the purpose of leasing EV 550’s for a period of five years. On January 30, 2018, these lease payments, except for the final payment to be made by the Customer of CDN$1,000,000 to the Company, were purchased by and transferred to an independent third party (the “Purchaser”) in exchange for a lump sum payment of CDN$1,492,611 to the Company. The Purchaser was granted a first priority security interest in the EV550’s. Both the lump sum and the discounted final payment were included in Revenue in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The CDN$1,000,000 due at the end of the lease term is classified as a Promissory Note Receivable on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.  The Promissory Note Receivable has been discounted over the five-year lease term at a rate of 6.4%. 

The Company evaluated the carrying value of the promissory note receivable as at March 31, 2020 in accordance with IFRS 9 and determined there was a significant increase in credit risk. The Company aggregated the present value of expected payments of the promissory note receivable under three probability weighted scenarios and determined that a write down of the asset of CDN$297,883 or $223,919 as at March 31, 2020 was warranted. The carrying value of the promissory note receivable as at September 30, 2020 is $421,611 (March 31, 2020, 384,261).

8.
Right of Use Assets and Lease Liabilities

The Company has recorded Right of Use Assets and Lease Liabilities in its statement of financial position related to three properties in California for which the Company has entered into lease agreements that expire in more than one year. The carrying value of Right of Use Assets as at September 30, 2020 is $487,684. Rental payments on the Right of Use Assets are discounted using an 8% rate of interest and capitalized on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as Lease Liabilities.

17. Financial Instruments (continued)

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 Statements of Financial Position.

The fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying value, unless otherwise noted.

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, 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 September 30, 2020 the Company recognized an allowance for credit losses of $20,385, against its accounts receivable (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. As at September 30, 2020 the Company had a cash balance of $27.9 million and $7.1 million available on its 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 may 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 10).

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 September 30, 2020, the Company was exposed to currency risk through the following financial assets and liabilities in CDN Dollars.





GREENPOWER MOTOR COMPANY INC.

(Unaudited – Prepared by Management)

17. Financial Instruments (continued)

The CDN/USD exchange rate as at September 30, 2020 was $0.7497 (March 31, 2020 - $0.7049). 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 $448,000 to other comprehensive income/loss.

18.
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, secured and unsecured promissory notes, convertible debentures and equity attributable to common shareholders, consisting of issued share capital and deficit.

During the second quarter the Company completed an initial public offering and concurrent private placement for gross proceeds of US$37.7 million less underwriting discounts and offering costs. As at September 30, 2020, the Company had a cash balance of $27,866,610, working capital of $32,477,352, retained earnings of ($26,768,131), and shareholder’s equity of $34,647,254. 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. The Company is subject to externally imposed capital requirements with respect to its line of credit (Note 10).

As at September 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020 the Company has approximately $9,400,000 and $7,700,000 respectively, of non-capital losses carry forwards available to reduce Canadian taxable income for future years.

The losses in Canada and United States expire between 2030 and 2040 if unused.

The majority of the sales price of these vehicles was funded from HVIP vouchers totaling $2 million that were previously reserved from funds allocated to the program in 2019. Green Commuter intends to use these vehicles in its shuttle and van pooling business in California. During the quarter Greenpower also delivered an all-electric school bus to Creative Bus Sales that Creative Bus Sales will be using in sales demonstrations across California, in an effort to drive future sales of GreenPower’s all-electric school buses.

During the quarter GreenPower increased its sales backlog by entering into a sales contract with Green Commuter for 100 EV Stars, and a 10 all-electric B.E.A.S.T. school bus order with Creative Bus Sales. In addition, GreenPower’s EV Star was successful in being selected as an eligible vehicle for the MBTA and Calact purchasing cooperative RFP for zero-emission shuttles. This two-year contract allows for the purchase of up to 150 zero-emission vehicles per year by cooperative members, and Greenpower’s dealer Creative Bus Sales is one of only four dealers, representing select models of electric shuttles, including the EV Star, that can be sold under the contract.

During the quarter Greenpower also entered into a three-year dealership agreement with ABC Bus, Inc. covering the state of New York. The agreement provides for 100 vehicles to be purchased by ABC over the next 36 months. With this dealership agreement, Greenpower and ABC Inc. can sell Greenpower’s vehicles in the state of New York, which are eligible for several funding programs in the state including the NYSERDA program and the New York Voucher Incentive Program that provides incentives of up to $100,000 for the purchase of Class 4 electric trucks and transit buses and up to $90,000 for the purchase of Class 4 battery electric school buses and shuttle buses in the state.

On August 28, 2020 Greenpower completed the uplisting of its common shares to the Nasdaq stock exchange and priced an offering of common shares at $20 per share, raising gross proceeds of $37.7 million before underwriting fees and expenses. As part of the uplisting Greenpower completed a seven-for one share consolidation of its common shares, and after the uplisting the Company’s shares ceased to trade on the OTCQB exchange, and now trade on the Nasdaq exchange in the US under the ticker “GP” and the TSX-Venture exchange in Canada under the ticker “GPV”. Proceeds raised during the offering will be used for the production of Greenpower’s all-electric vehicles, product development, geographic expansion and for working capital.

During the quarter Greenpower continued to progress several production runs concurrently of various models, including EV Stars, EV Star cab and chassis, EV Star+, B.E.A.S.T. school buses, and EV 250 thirty-foot low floor transit buses. Immediately following the capital raise, management engaged with suppliers and contract manufacturers to plan for an expansion of all-electric vehicle production of various models, including increasing production to 20 EV Stars per month and 5 B.E.A.S.T. school buses per month. We anticipate that the EV Stars will start to deliver in two quarters, and this level of production represents potential revenue of over $8 million on a quarterly basis, and the initial production of 5 B.E.A.S.T.

school buses per month, expected to start delivering in mid-2021, represents potential quarterly sales of over $5 million.

Both during and subsequent to quarter end, the planning has moved into implementation, and production has expanded across a range of product categories to build for existing contracts and anticipated future demand. Inventory has increased by approximately $2.0 million since the end of the quarter as these production runs have progressed. Greenpower’s management team was actively engaged in sales demonstrations of its full suite of vehicles in states across the country to build out its sales pipeline and lay the groundwork for potential future sales.

The following tables summarize adjusted EBITDA for the last eight quarters:


(1)
Non-IFRS Financial Measures: “Total Cash Expenses”, as defined above, and “Adjusted EBITDA” reflects net income or loss before interest, taxes, share-based payments, depreciation and amortization, and 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 September 30, 2020, the Company had a cash balance of $27,866,610 and working capital of $32,477,352. 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. The Company’s primary bank account denominated in US dollars is linked to its Line of Credit such that funds deposited to the bank account reduce the outstanding balance on the Line of Credit, and as at September 30, 2020 available funds on the line of credit were $7,145,188. 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.

New and Amended Standards

Adoption of accounting standards

The following new or amended standards were adopted during the year ended March 31, 2020:

IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers provides a single principle-based framework to be applied to all contracts with customers. IFRS 15 replaces the previous revenue standard IAS 18, Revenue, and the related Interpretations on revenue recognition. The standard scopes out contracts that are considered to be lease contracts, insurance contracts and financial instruments. The new standard is a control-based model as compared to the existing revenue standard which is primarily focused on risks and rewards. Under the new standard, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of a good or service. Transfer of control occurs when the customer has the ability to direct the use of and obtain the benefits of the good or service. This standard is effective for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018.

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments replaces the current standard IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, replacing the current classification and measurement criteria for financial assets and liabilities with only two classification categories: amortized cost and fair value. This standard has an effective date of January 1, 2018.

IFRS 16 Leases was issued in January 2016 and specifies how an IFRS reporter will recognize, measure, present and disclose leases. The standard provides a single lessee accounting model, requiring lessees to recognize assets and liabilities for all leases unless the lease term is 12 months or less or the underlying asset has a low value. Lessors continue to classify leases as operating or finance, with IFRS 16’s approach to lessor accounting substantially unchanged from its predecessor, IAS 17. This standard is effective for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019.

The adoption of the above accounting policies impacted the consolidated financial statements for the three months ended September 30, 2020 as described in the respective notes.

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 September 30, 2020 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 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, the inputs used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model to measure stock-based compensation and warrants, determination of the liability portion of convertible debentures, determination of the useful life of equipment, 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 receivable, promissory note receivable, line of credit, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, note payable, loans payable to related parties, promissory note payable, convertible debentures and lease liabilities. As at September 30, 2020, the Company had working capital of $32,477,352.

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

Credit risk
The Company’s exposure to credit risk is on its cash, finance lease, and promissory note receivable. 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 promissory note receivable counterparty and lease counterparty on an annual basis and believes it is exposed to minimal credit risk.

Liquidity risk
The Company manages liquidity to ensure that there is sufficient capital in order to meet short-term business requirements, after taking into account the Company’s cash balance and available liquidity on the Company’s 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’s primary bank account denominated in US dollars is linked to its Line of Credit such that funds deposited to the bank account reduce the outstanding balance on the Line of Credit. As at September 30, 2020 the Company has a cash balance of $27,866,610 and available funds on its operating line of credit of $7,145,188.

Trade Tariffs
The Company manufactures and imports key components from overseas that are subject to tariffs on importation into the United States, and for which the Company is currently paying tariffs. In particular, the Company is subject to tariffs on goods imported from China, which increases the cost of these goods and negatively impacts the company’s profitability and financial position.

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 believes interest rate risk is not material.

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 September 30, 2020, the Company was exposed to currency risk through the following monetary assets and liabilities in CDN Dollars.


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 $448,000 to other comprehensive income/loss.

Capital Management

The capital structure of the Company consists of cash, operating line of credit, secured and unsecured promissory notes, convertible debentures and equity attributable to common shareholders, consisting of issued share capital and deficit. During the second quarter the Company completed an initial public offering and concurrent private placement for gross proceeds of US$37.7 million less underwriting discounts and offering costs. As at September 30, 2020, the Company had a cash balance of $27,866,610, working capital of $32,477,352, retained earnings of ($26,768,131), and shareholder’s equity of $34,647,254. As a result of funds from the offering being deposited to an account that is linked to the Company’s operating line of credit, the balance was reduced to nil during the quarter. During the second quarter the Company received over $3.0 million from the exercise of warrants, and subsequent to quarter end we received an additional $0.2 million. These funds, combined with proceeds from the collection of accounts receivable subsequent to the end of the quarter, was used to repay loans to related parties by CAD$635,000 and USD$220,000 during the second quarter, and the remaining CAD$2,600,000 in loans to related parties was repaid subsequent to the end of the quarter. During the quarter over CAD$1.25 million dollars of our convertible debentures were converted into equity, further reducing leverage and interest expense. During the quarter we also provided the remaining convertible debenture holders with notice that we intend to repay the debentures on or before December 15th, and we anticipate that the remaining convertible debentures will be converted into equity on or prior to this date. The Company’s Interest and Accretion expense will decline as a result of these repayments and conversions, and we anticipate that the quarter ended March 31, 2020 will reflect a full quarter of these repayments and conversions. 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. The Company is subject to externally imposed capital requirements with respect to its line of credit.

Disclosure of Internal Controls

Management has established processes to provide them sufficient knowledge to support representations that they have exercised reasonable diligence that (i) the financial statements do not contain any untrue statement of material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated or that is necessary to make a statement not misleading in light of the circumstances under which it is made, as of the date of and for the periods presented by the financial statements, and (ii) the financial statements fairly present in all material respects the financial condition, results of operations and cash flow of the Company, as of the date of and for the periods presented.
In contrast to the certificate required for non-venture issuers under National Instrument 52-109, Certification of Disclosure in Issuers’ Annual and Interim Filings (“NI 52-109”), the Venture Issuer Basic Certificate does not include representations relating to the establishment and maintenance of disclosure controls and procedures (“DC&P”) and internal control over financial reporting (“ICFR”), as defined in NI 52-109. In particular, the certifying officers filing this certificate are not making any representations relating to the establishment and maintenance of:

i.
controls and other procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in its annual filings, interim filings or other reports filed or submitted under securities legislation is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in securities legislation; and

ii.
a process to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with the issuer’s GAAP (IFRS).

For the period ended September 30, 2020
Discussion dated: as of November 10, 2020

The issuer’s certifying officers are responsible for ensuring that processes are in place to provide them with sufficient knowledge to support the representations they are making in the certificate. Investors should be aware that inherent limitations on the ability of certifying officers of a venture issuer to design and implement on a cost effective basis DC&P and ICFR as defined in NI 52-109 may result in additional risks to the quality, reliability, transparency and timeliness of interim and annual filings and other reports provided under securities legislation.

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.

As a result of the acquisition of land in Porterville described in the Investing Activities section, the Company is subject to the risks normally associated with the ownership of land including requirements for governmental permits and approvals.

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 will continue to have, a material adverse impact on our business and financial condition. The future impact of the COVID-19 global pandemic is inherently uncertain, and is expected to 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 a timely manner, if at all, 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. In addition, COVID-19 has caused a significant reduction in public transit ridership, which is one of the primary market segments served by Greenpower, which may lead to reduced future sales to this segment, as transit properties adjust to changing demand for their services. we have taken steps to modify our business and staffing levels in order to manage impacts caused by the COVID-19 global pandemic and resulting government and regulatory health orders, these factors are expected to 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 and ultimate duration of these 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 may 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.

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.

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. 

Provision for Warranty Costs

The Company offers warranties on the vehicles 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, and 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. However, the company may in the future be involved in litigation or legal proceedings that are material and may require recognition as a provision or contingent liability on the Company’s financial statements. 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 has filed a response with a counterclaim for wrongful dismissal in the Province of British Columbia, and a company for which the prior CEO and Director of the Company is a director has filed a claim against the Company in the State of California. The Company does not expect the outcome of either its claim, or 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 will 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.
