Vision Marine Technologies Inc.

 

Notes to the condensed interim consolidated financial statements

 

(Unaudited)

November 30, 2022

 

1. Incorporation and nature of business

 

Vision Marine Technologies Inc. [the “Company”] was incorporated on August 29, 2012 and its principal business is to manufacture and sell or rent electric boats. The Voting Common Shares of the Company are listed under the trading symbol “VMAR” on Nasdaq.

 

The Company is incorporated in Canada and its head office and registered office is located at 730 Curé-Boivin boulevard, Boisbriand, Quebec, J7G 2A7.

 

Business seasonality

 

The Company’s operating results generally vary from quarter to quarter as a result of changes in general economic conditions and seasonal fluctuations, among other things, in each of its reportable segments. This means the Company’s results in one quarter are not necessarily indicative of how the Company will perform in a future quarter.

 

Sale of electric boats

 

The sale of electric boats segment has a seasonal aspect to its operations. Most customers purchase their electric boats from the Company with the intention of utilizing them during the summer period which typically runs from early June to late August and corresponds to the Company’s fourth quarter of a financial year. As such, the revenues in this operating segment fluctuates based on the level of boat deliveries, with a high and a low in the fourth quarter and the first quarter, respectively.

 

Rental of electric boats

 

Revenue generated by the rental of electric boats segment also has a seasonal aspect to its operations. Boat rental as an activity is highly sought by customers when the weather is milder, which is typically the case during the period from May to August. A colder-than-expected or rainier summer in any given year could have an impact on the segment’s revenues and hence on its profitability. Revenue from the boat club memberships is not impacted by seasonality as the memberships are typically on an annual basis.

 

2. Basis of preparation

 

Compliance with IFRS

 

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements are for the three-month period ended November 30, 2022 and have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34: Interim Financial Reporting. They do not include all of the information required in annual financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended August 31, 2022.

 

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended August 31, 2022.

 

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements were authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors on January 13, 2023.

Basis of measurement

 

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars and were prepared on a historical cost basis.

 

Basis of consolidation

 

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, and the subsidiaries that it controls. Control exists when the Company has the power over the subsidiary, when it is exposed or has rights to variable returns from its involvement with the subsidiary and when it has the ability to use its power to affect its returns. Subsidiaries that the Company controls are consolidated from the effective date of acquisition up to the effective date of disposal or loss of control.

 

Details of the Company’s significant subsidiaries at the end of the reporting period are set out below.

 

Name of subsidiary  Principal activity  Country of
incorporation and
operation
  Proportion of
ownership held by the
Company
 
7858078 Canada Inc.  Owns an electric boat rental center  Canada   100%
EB Rental Ltd.  Operates an electric boat rental center  United States   100%

 

Foreign currency translation

 

The Company’s condensed interim consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is also the parent company’s functional currency. The functional currencies of 7858078 Canada Inc. and EB Rental Ltd. are the Canadian dollar and the US dollar, respectively.

 

The exchange rates for the currencies used in the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements were as follows:

 

   Average exchange rate for     
   November 30,
2022
   August 31,
2022
   Three months ended
November 30, 2022
 
US dollar   1.3578    1.3076    1.3484 

 

Use of estimates and judgments

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Although these estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of the amount, event or actions, actual results ultimately may differ from those estimates. Areas where judgments, estimates and assumptions are considered significant to the condensed interim consolidated financial statements remain unchanged to the 2022 annual financial statements.

5. Debentures

 

On May 14, 2021, the Company subscribed for and purchased 3,400 senior unsecured subordinated convertible debentures of The Limestone Boat Company Limited [“Limestone”], a publicly traded company listed under the trading symbol "BOAT" on the TSX Venture Exchange [the "Debentures"], for an aggregate amount of $3,400,000.

 

The Debentures bear interest at a rate of 10% per annum, payable annually in arrears, and have a 36-month term [the “Term”]. The Debentures are convertible at any time at the option of the Company into common shares of Limestone [“Common Shares”] at a conversion price of $0.36 per Common Share [the “Conversion Price”]. If at any time following 120 days from the date of issuance of the Debentures [the “Closing Date“] and prior to the date that is 30 days prior to the end of the Term, the volume weighted average closing price of the Common Shares on the TSX Venture Exchange, or such other exchange on which the Common Shares may be listed, is equal to or higher than $0.50 per Common Share for 20 consecutive trading days, Limestone may notify the Company that the Debentures will be automatically converted into Common Shares at the Conversion Price 30 days following the date of such notice.

 

The Debentures are carried at fair value through profit and loss and are considered as Level 2 financial instruments in the fair value hierarchy. For the three months ended November 30, 2022, the Company recorded a loss of $109,667 [2021 – $70,000] in net finance (income) expense for change in the fair value of the Debentures [note 19].

16. Share-based payments

 

Description of the plan

 

The Company has a fixed option plan. The Company’s stock option plan is administered by the Board of Directors. Under the plan, the Company’s Board of Directors may grant stock options to employees, advisors and consultants, and designates the number of options and the share price pursuant to the new options, subject to applicable regulations. The options, when granted, will have an exercise price of no less than the estimated fair value of shares at the date of grant.

 

Stock options

 

On multiple grant dates, the Company granted a total of 1,827,026 stock options at exercise prices varying between $2.78 and $16.29 per share to directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company. The stock options will expire 5 to 10 years from the grant dates.

 

The Company recognizes share-based payments expense for option grants based on the fair value at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The share-based payments expense recognized for the three months ended November 30, 2022 amounts to $81,479 [2021 – $1,594,297]. The table below lists the assumptions used to determine the fair value of these option grants. Volatility is based on public companies with characteristics similar to the Company.

During November 2022, the Company entered into a contract with a customer for the sale of powertrain systems, which was determined to be onerous since the unavoidable costs (i.e., the costs that the Company cannot avoid because it has the contract) of meeting the obligations under the contract exceed the economic benefits expected to be received under it. As a result, the Company recorded the present obligation under the onerous contract as a provision of $220,000 presented in trade and other payables as at November 30, 2022.

20. Fair value measurement and hierarchy

 

The fair value measurement of the Company’s financial and non-financial assets and liabilities utilizes market observable inputs and data as far as possible. Inputs used in determining fair value measurements are categorized into different levels based on how observable the inputs used in the valuation technique utilized are (the “fair value hierarchy”):

 

·Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical items [unadjusted];
·Level 2: Observable direct or indirect inputs other than Level 1 inputs; and
·Level 3: Unobservable inputs [i.e., not derived from market data].

 

The classification of an item into the above levels is based on the lowest level of the inputs used that has a significant effect on the fair value measurement of the item. Transfers of items between levels are recognized in the period they occur.

 

The carrying amount of trade and other receivables, advances to/from related parties and trade and other payables are assumed to approximate their fair value due to their short-term nature.

 

The fair value of financial liabilities is estimated by discounting the remaining contractual maturities at the current market interest rate that is available for similar financial liabilities.

 

Classified as Level 2, the fair value of debentures is estimated using the partial differential equation model to value convertible debentures that include a call feature. Key assumptions used in the model include volatility, which is based on actual trading data, difference in volatility since initial issuance of the instrument and similar instruments on the market, and credit spread, which is based on corporate bond yield spreads in the market and credit spread data for similar public companies. The model includes a fair value adjustment based on an initial calibration exercise.

 

Below is a sensitivity analysis based on variations in the key assumptions used in the model. The table presents the fair value of the debentures would have been as at November 30, 2022 had the key assumptions varied as indicated:

 

    Volatility   Credit spread 
    +5%   -5%   +2%   -2% 
    $   $   $   $ 
Fair value of debentures    2,637,000    2,637,000    2,700,000    2,577,000

The two reportable business segments offer different products and services, require different processes and are based on how the financial information is produced internally for the purposes of monitoring operating results and making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment by the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker.

 

The following summary describes the operations of each of the Company’s reportable business segments:

 

·Sale of electric boats – manufacture of customized electric boats for consumer market and sale of boat parts maintenance, and
·Rental of electric boat – short-term rental operation and boat club membership.

 

Sales between segments are accounted for at prices that approximate fair value. No business segments have been aggregated to form the above reportable business segments.
