Notes to the condensed interim consolidated financial statements

 

(Unaudited)

May 31, 2024

 

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 fluctuate 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 and going concern uncertainty

 

Compliance with IFRS

 

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements are for the three-month and nine-month periods ended May 31, 2024 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, 2023.

 

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these condensed interim 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, 2023.

 

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements were authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors on July 15, 2024.

Going concern uncertainty

 

As of May 31, 2024, the Company has cash of $341,308 and working capital of $4,961,637. The Company has incurred recurring losses, has not yet achieved profitable operations and has a deficit of $61,956,734 since its inception. The cash flows from operations were negative for the three years ended August 31, 2023 as well as for the current nine-month period ended May 31, 2024. Additional financing will be needed by the Company to fund its operations and to commercialize the E-Motion powertrain business. These matters, when considered in aggregate, indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for at least 12 months from the issuance of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements. In view of these matters, continuation as a going concern is dependent upon the continued operations of the Company which will be determined by the Company’s ability to meet its financial requirements, including its ability to raise additional capital.

 

The Company is evaluating several different strategies and is actively pursuing actions that are expected to increase its liquidity position, including, but not limited to, pursuing additional cost savings initiatives, seeking additional financing from both the public and private markets through the issuance of equity securities, and potentially selling assets which do not align with the Company’s outlook of future operations. For the nine-month period ended May 31, 2024, the Company was able to raise net proceeds from issuance of common shares, warrants, preferred shares and options to purchase additional preferred shares and warrants of $8,326,492. However, the Company's management cannot provide assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its proposed financing plans. Management also cannot provide any assurance as to unforeseen circumstances that could occur within the next 12 months which could increase the Company’s need to raise additional capital on an immediate basis, which additional capital may not be available to the Company.

 

The accompanying condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes the Company will continue its operations for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. These condensed interim consolidated financial statements as at and for the three-month and nine-month periods ended May 31, 2024 do not include any adjustments to the carrying amounts and classification of assets, liabilities and reported expenses that may otherwise be required if the going concern basis was not appropriate. Such adjustments could be material.

 

Basis of measurement

 

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

 

Certain comparative figures have been adjusted to conform with the current period presentation due to the discontinued operations [note 25].

 

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.

7858078 Canada Inc. Owns an electric boat rental center Canada 100%
EB Rental Ltd. Operates an electric boat rental center United States nil
EB Rental Ventura Corp. Operates an electric boat rental center United States 100%
EB Rental FL Corp. Operates an electric boat rental center United States 100%
EBR Palm Beach Inc. Operates an electric boat rental center United States 100%
Vision Marine Technologies Corp. Operates an electric boat service center United States 100%

 

On April 25, 2024, the Company disposed of its 100% ownership in EB Rental Ltd., which was deconsolidated at that date. See note 25 for details.

 

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 currency of 7858078 Canada Inc. is the Canadian dollar, while the functional currency for EB Rental Ltd., EB Rental Ventura Corp., EB Rental FL Corp., EBR Palm Beach Inc. and Vision Marine Technologies Corp. is the U.S. dollar.

 

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

US dollar   1.3678    1.3535    1.3573    1.3511 

 

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 2023 annual financial statements, except for the changes made to the underlying assumptions in determining the carrying amount of the goodwill associated with its boat rental operation cash-generating unit (“CGU”), which represents the lowest level within the Company at which the goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes [note 9].

Standards issued but yet not effective

 

Amendments to IAS 1: Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current

 

In January 2020 and October 2022, the IASB issued amendments to paragraphs 69 to 76 of IAS 1 to specify the requirements for classifying liabilities as current or non-current. The amendments clarify:

 

-What is meant by a right to defer settlement.

-That a right to defer must exist at the end of the reporting period.

-That classification is unaffected by the likelihood that an entity will exercise its deferral right.

-That only if an embedded derivative in a convertible liability is itself an equity instrument would the terms of a liability not impact its classification.

 

For the Company, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning on September 1, 2024, and must be applied retrospectively. This will result in reclassification of the Company's derivative liabilities from long-term to short-term liabilities [note 15].

5. Investment in Limestone

 

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 bore interest at a rate of 10% per annum, payable annually in arrears, and had a 36-month term [the “Term”]. The Debentures were 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 could have notified 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 Investment in Limestone is carried at fair value through profit and loss and are considered as Level 3 financial instruments in the fair value hierarchy.

 

On January 20, 2023, Limestone announced that Limestone’s U.S. subsidiaries filed for voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Middle District of Tennessee. As a result, the Company recorded an impairment on the entire value of the Debentures at the amount $2,637,000 for the year ended August 31, 2023.

9. Goodwill

 

Assets that have an indefinite life, such as goodwill, are tested annually by the Company for impairment, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate there may be impairment. During the three-month period ended February 29, 2024, the Company noted certain events and circumstances which indicated that there may be an impairment of the goodwill associated with its boat rental operation CGU (see detailed description below).

 

As a result of these triggering events and circumstances, the Company performed an impairment analysis for the boat rental operation CGU as at February 29, 2024. As a result of this analysis, the Company determined that the carrying amount of the goodwill associated with the boat rental operation CGU exceeded its recoverable amount and, accordingly, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment loss of $4,274,000 for the nine-month period ended May 31, 2024, which was recognized during the three-month period ended February 29, 2024. As a result of this loss, the carrying amount of the goodwill associated with this CGU had been reduced to $5,431,975 as at February 29, 2024 [August 31, 2023 - $9,714,558]. Note that the goodwill was further reduced this quarter following the sale of EB Rental, Ltd. See note 25 for details.

 

The recoverable amount was determined based on the fair value less costs of disposal approach using a discounted cash flow model. The fair value measurement is categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The model included forecasted cash flows based on updated financial plans prepared by management covering a five-year period taking into consideration future investments and expansion activities that will enhance the performance of the assets of the CGU and the following key assumptions:

 

-Expected earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) as a percentage of revenues for the CGU of 12.7% for the remainder of 2024, 15.8% in 2025, 19.3% in 2026, 19.9% in 2027, 20.7% in 2028 and 21.5% in 2029 and thereafter.

-Expected working capital cash absorption ratio for the CGU of 20% of annual incremental sales increases.

-Expected annual capital expenditure needs for the CGU of US$56,500 for the remainder of 2024, US$126,000 in 2025, US$346,800 in 2026, US$594,259 in 2027, US$229,820 in 2028, US$234,310 in 2029 and US$238,876 annually thereafter.

 

The discounted cash flow model was established using a post-tax discount rate of 28.0% based on the weighted average cost of capital calculated using observable market-based inputs or benchmark of a sample of representative publicly traded companies. The terminal growth rate of 2% used is based on published long-term growth rates.

 

Any reasonable negative change in these key assumptions could cause additional impairment of the CGU.

 

In prior periods, management had based its selection of assumptions upon its assessment of the ability of the CGU to maintain the levels of growth and profitability experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic, despite the unfavourable weather conditions experienced in its key markets over the course of the fiscal year ended August 31, 2023. However, continued unfavourable weather conditions and a recent general downturn in the boating industry have had a negative impact on the CGU’s revenues and EBITDA over the first six months of the current fiscal year. In addition, management’s attempts to sell all or a portion of the Company’s boat rental operation over the current quarter have been largely unsuccessful, indicating a possible decline in value of the CGU. Therefore, the impairment charge was the result of management’s revised assumptions related to revenues and the expected EBITDA as a percentage of sales taking into account the current economic environment.

 

10. Credit facility

 

The Company had an authorized line of credit of $250,000, renewable annually, bearing interest at prime rate plus 1%, secured by a first ranking movable hypothec of $750,000 on all present and future accounts receivable and inventory. Effective March 31, 2024, the line of credit was not renewed and closed. As at May 31, 2024, the Company has drawn an amount of nil [August 31, 2023 - $155,000] on the line of credit.

Series A Convertible Preferred Shares

 

On December 13, 2023, the Company authorized the issuance of Series A Convertible Preferred Shares. This class of shares ranks senior to the Voting Common Shares but retains no voting rights. They have a stated value of US$1,000 per share and are convertible into Voting Common Shares of the Company at the election of the holder at any time at a price of US$1.05 per share, exercise price subject to adjustment. The Series A Convertible Preferred Shares are convertible at the election of its holder into that number of Voting Common Shares determined by dividing its stated value (plus any and all other amounts which may be owing in connection therewith) by the exercise price, subject to certain beneficial ownership limitations which prohibit any holder from converting into an amount of Voting Common Shares that would cause such holder to beneficially own more than 4.99% of the then outstanding Voting Common Shares). On the one-year anniversary of the original issuance date, the Series A Convertible Preferred Shares will automatically convert into Voting Common Shares at the lesser of the then exercise price, and 80% of the average volume-weighted average price of the Company’s Voting Common Shares during the five trading days ending on, and including, such date. In no event shall the conversion price for the Series A Convertible Preferred Shares be less than US$0.30, subject to adjustment herein. The holder also receives 952 warrants to purchase Voting Common Shares per US$1,000 stated value of the Series A Convertible Preferred Shares held that are exercisable for a period of 5 years from the issuance date at a price of US$1.05 per share. In addition, the holder receives an option to purchase one additional Series A Convertible Preferred Share and 952 warrants to purchase Voting Common Shares per each Series A Convertible Preferred Share held for a period of 6 months from the issuance date at the stated value of US$1,000.

 

On December 21, 2023, the Company issued 3,000 Series A Convertible Preferred Shares and 2,857,142 warrants to purchase Voting Common Shares for a total cash consideration of $4,036,025 (US$3,000,000). For the three-month and nine-month periods ended May 31, 2024, the Company incurred transaction costs of nil and $615,306 respectively related to this issuance, which were recorded in net finance expense (income) [May 31, 2023 – Nil] [note 20].

On February 8, 2024, 63 Series A Convertible Preferred Shares were converted into 60,000 Voting Common Shares at a value of $42,886 [Note 17].

 

On February 23, 2024, 76 Series A Convertible Preferred Shares were converted into 72,380 Voting Common Shares at a value of $51,736 [Note 17].

 

On May 10, 2024, 11 Series A Convertible Preferred Shares were converted into 10,476 Voting Common Shares at a value of $10,467 [Note 17].

 

On May 14, 2024, 11 Series A Convertible Preferred Shares were converted into 10,476 Voting Common Shares at a value of $10,467 [Note 17].

 

Given the variability associated with the various components of this instrument, these instruments were recorded as derivative liabilities and will be subject to fair value adjustments at the issuance date and at subsequent balance sheet dates. The fair value was determined using the Monte Carlo simulation run under the Geometric Brownian Motion. Since the fair value is based on valuation using unobservable market inputs, the Company did not recognize the loss on initial recognition. The difference between the fair value at initial recognition and the transaction price was deferred and is recognized over time based on the individual terms of each financial instrument. This difference determined was due to delays in negotiations, the changes in the capital market and the Company’s liquidity situation.

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 stock options at exercise prices varying between $1.03 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-month and nine-month periods ended May 31, 2024 amounts to $46,270 and $192,622 respectively [May 31, 2023 – $628,923 and $1,052,090 respectively].

21. 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 3, 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 was based on actual trading data, difference in volatility since initial issuance of the instrument and similar instruments on the market, and credit spread, which was 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 nine month period ended May 31, 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 to common shareholders is classified as Level 3 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 well as the current market price of the Voting Common Shares. As at May 31, 2024, the Company used volatility of approximately 77% over the remaining contractual life in order to determine the fair value of the derivative liabilities. As at May 31, 2024, if the volatility used was increased by 10%, the impact would be an increase of $99,000 to the derivative liabilities with a corresponding decrease in total comprehensive income. As at May 31, 2024, if the current market price of the Voting Common Shares increased by 10%, the impact would be an increase of $134,000 to the derivative liabilities with a corresponding decrease in total comprehensive income [note 15].

 

The fair value of the derivative liabilities related to the Series A and B Convertible Preferred Shares is classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy and is calculated using the Monte Carlo simulation run under the Geometric Brownian Motion model. The significant input assumptions into the model for each valuation date include the starting share price, a 70% volatility applied to the Series A and Series B Convertible Preferred Shares as at the issuance date, a 75% volatility applied to the Series A and Series B Convertible Preferred Shares as at May 31, 2024, a 50% volatility applied to the warrants issued with the Series A and Series B Convertible Preferred Shares and a risk-free rate based on the U.S. treasury rates matching the duration of each component of the Series A and Series B Convertible Preferred Shares. As at May 31, 2024, if the volatility used was increased by 5%, the impact would be an increase of $110,000 to the derivative liabilities with a corresponding decrease in total comprehensive income [note 15].

22. 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 boats – 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.
