Notes to the condensed interim consolidated financial statements

 

(Unaudited) 

May 31, 2023

 

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 and nine months ended May 31, 2023 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 July 12, 2023.

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.

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.

 

On January 20, 2023, Limestone announced that Limestone’s U.S. subsidiaries filed a Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. As a result, the Company recorded an impairment on the entire value of the Debentures at the amount of nil and $2,637,000 in the three and nine months ended May 31, 2023 [May 31, 2022 – nil].

 

For the three and nine months ended May 31, 2023, the Company recorded a loss of nil and $109,667 respectively [May 31, 2022 – $115,000 and $436,500 respectively] in net finance expense for change in the fair value of the Debentures [note 19].

Subscription and issuance of Voting Common Shares

 

During the three and nine months ended May 31, 2023, the Company issued a total of 65,790 and 98,400 Voting Common Shares, respectively, to third parties in exchange for marketing services provided to the Company.

 

During the three and nine months ended May 31, 2023, the Company issued nil and 5,057 Voting Common Shares upon the exercises of two former employees’ stock options.

 

During the three and nine months ended May 31, 2023, the Company issued 381,293 and 1,410,605 Voting Common Shares and warrants to purchase Voting Common Shares, respectively [note 16] as part of the financing rounds for a total cash consideration price of $2,047,648, net of transaction costs of $101,942 and $7,165,280, net of transaction costs of $774,759. During the three and nine months ended May 31, 2023, the warrants issued are to purchase 381,293 and 1,410,605 Voting Common Shares of the Company, respectively for a period of three years from the grant date at an exercise price of U.S. $4.21.

 

The Company assessed the classification of the compound financial instrument issued, whether the warrants issued meet the criteria of an equity instrument (i.e. the warrants would be settled by the issuance of fixed number of common shares of the Company at a fixed exercise price) or a financial liability. Since the exercise price of these warrants is denominated in U.S. dollar, while the functional currency of the Company is Canadian dollar, the value of the proceeds on exercise of the warrants is not fixed and will vary based on the foreign exchange rate movements. As such, the Company classified the warrants, other than warrants issued as compensation for goods and services, as derivative liabilities, measured at fair value at initial recognition and at each reporting period. Refer to note 16 for details on the assumptions used to determine the fair value. Any changes in fair value are recorded as gain or loss in the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss. At issuance and as at May 31, 2023, the derivative liabilities amounted to $4,866,082 and $3,253,024, respectively [August 31, 2022 – Nil], with the allocated transaction costs of $489,096 recorded in net finance expense [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 1,917,526 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 and nine months ended May 31, 2023 amounts to $628,923,139 and $1,052,090 respectively [May 31, 2022 – $367,054 and $2,545,720 respectively]. 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, February 28, 2023 and May 31, 2023.

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 was 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 included a fair value adjustment based on an initial calibration exercise. During the three months ended February 28, 2023, the Company recorded an impairment loss on the Debentures based on the estimated recoverable amount of the financial asset [note 5].

 

The fair value of the derivative liabilities related to the warrants issued is classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy and is calculated using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model using the historical volatility of comparable companies as an estimate of future volatility. As at May 31, 2023, if the volatility used was increased by 10% the impact would be an increase of $378,000 to the derivative liabilities with corresponding increase in total comprehensive loss.

21. Segment information

 

The Company operates in two reportable business segments.

 

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.
