d) Use of Judgements and Estimates

The preparation of the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements are in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosures with respect to contingent assets and liabilities. Management base their judgments, estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that they believe are reasonable under the circumstances. The economic environment could also impact certain estimates and discount rates necessary to prepare our consolidated financial statements, including significant estimates and discount rates applicable to the determination of the recoverable amounts used in our impairment testing of our non-financial assets. Management's assessment of these factors forms the basis for their judgments on the carrying values of assets and liabilities, and the accrual of our costs and expenses. Actual results could differ materially from our estimates and assumptions. Management reviews the estimates and underlying assumptions on an ongoing basis and make revisions as determined necessary. Revisions are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and may impact future periods as well.

e) Seasonality and impact of COVID-19

The Company has historically experienced seasonality in its business. In recent periods, revenue has decreased in the first quarter of the year which reflects the customers' preference to defer our product delivery past the seasonal holidays and into the new year due to an increasing e-commerce demand and need to minimize changes or disruptions at high volume distribution centres. This seasonality has also been increased due to the impact of the COVID-19 on the general consumer community, as online shopping increases and distribution centres deal with higher than normal volumes. Furthermore, while demand for lithium-ion batteries from the materials handling electric vehicle sector is emerging, the sales cycle and customer purchasing patterns are highly variable making quarter to quarter predictions difficult.

f) Significant Accounting Policies

The accounting policies in these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements are the same as those applied in the Company's consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended September 30, 2022.

16. Financial Instruments

The Company's financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, trade and other payables, promissory notes and other payables.

Fair Value

IFRS 13 "Fair Value Measurement" provides guidance about fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value are required to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is based on three levels of inputs. The first two levels are considered observable and the last unobservable. These levels are used to measure fair values as follows:

- Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly.

- Level 2 - Inputs, other than Level 1 inputs that are observable for assets and liabilities, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted market prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

- Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The following table presents the carrying and approximate fair values of the Company's financial instruments:

  As at December 31, 2022 As at September 30, 2022
Financial assets: Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total
Cash and cash equivalents $136 - - $136 $626 - - $626
Trade and other receivables $7,448 - - $7,448 $6,309 - - $6,309
Financial liabilities:                
Working capital facilities $9,737 - - $9,737 $11,635 - - $11,635
Trade and other payables $4,729 - - $4,729 $4,147 - - $4,147
Short term loans - - - - - $582 - $582
Other payables $300 - - $300 $246 - - $246
Promissory notes - - - - - $4,363 - $4,363
Non-current liabilities - $2,225 - $2,225 - $2,235 - $2,235

There were no transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy during the period presented.

Risk Management

The Company may be exposed to risks of varying degrees of significance which could affect its ability to achieve its strategic objectives. The main objectives of the Company's risk management processes are to ensure that the risks are properly identified and that the capital base is adequate in relation to those risks. The principal risks to which the Company is exposed are described below. There have been no changes in risk exposure since the prior year unless otherwise noted.

Capital risk

The Company manages its capital to ensure that there are adequate capital resources for the Company to maintain and develop its products. The capital structure of the Company consists of shareholders' equity and depends on the underlying profitability of the Company's operations.

The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it, based on the funds available to the Company, in order to support the development, manufacture and marketing of its products. The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management, but rather relies on the expertise of the Company's management to sustain future development of the business.

The Group's capital management objectives are:

 to ensure the Group's ability to continue as a going concern.

 to provide an adequate return to shareholders by pricing products and services commensurately with the level of risk.

The Group monitors capital on the basis of the carrying amount of equity plus its short-term debt comprised of the promissory notes, less cash and cash equivalents as presented on the face of the statement of financial position.

The Group sets the amount of capital in proportion to its overall financing structure, comprised of equity and long-term debt. The Group manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in the light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group issues new shares or increases its long-term debt.

Capital for the reporting periods under review is summarized as follows:

    December 31     September 30  
    2022     2022  
Total Equity (Deficiency)   3,027     (5,919 )
Cash and cash equivalents   (136 )   (626 )
Capital   2,891     (6,545 )
             
Total Equity (Deficiency)   3,027     (5,919 )
Promissory Note   -     4,363  
Short-term loans   -     582  
Working capital facilities   9,737     11,635  
Other Long-term liabilities   2,635     2,629  
Overall Financing   15,399     13,290  
Capital to Overall financing Ratio   0.19     -0.49

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that the counter-party fails to discharge an obligation to the Company. The Company is exposed to this risk due to its cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables.

Cash is held with financial institutions, each of which had at December 31, 2022 a rating of R-1 mid or above.

The Company manages its credit risk related to trade and other receivables by establishing procedures to establish credit limits and approval policies. The balance in trade and other receivables is primarily attributable to trade accounts receivables. In the opinion of management, the credit risk is moderate and no credit losses are expected. Management is taking appropriate action to mitigate this risk by adjusting credit terms.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that we may not have cash available to satisfy our financial obligations as they come due. The majority of our financial liabilities recorded in accounts payable, accrued and other current liabilities and provisions are due within 90 days. We manage liquidity risk by maintaining a portfolio of liquid funds and having access to a revolving credit facility. We believe that cash flow from operating activities, together with cash on hand, cash from our A/R, and borrowings available under the Revolver are sufficient to fund our currently anticipated financial obligations, and will remain available in the current environment.

Market risk

Market risk incorporates a range of risks. Movement in risk factors, such as market price risk and currency risk, affect the fair value of financial assets and liabilities. The Company is exposed to these risks as the ability of the Company to develop or market its products and the future profitability of the Company is related to the market price of its primary competitors for similar products.

Interest rate risk

The Company has variable interest debt as described in Note 8. Changes in interest rates will affect future interest expense and cash flows. The Company does not enter into derivative instruments to reduce this exposure.

Foreign currency risk

The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk. The Company's functional currency is the Canadian dollar and the financial statements are presented in United States dollars. Changes in the relative values of these currencies will give rise to changes in other comprehensive income.

Purchases are transacted in Canadian dollars, United States dollars and Euro. Management believes the foreign exchange risk derived from any currency conversions may have a material effect on the results of its operations. The financial instruments impacted by a change in exchange rates include our exposures to the above financial assets or liabilities denominated in non-functional currencies. Cash held by the Company in US dollars at December 31, 2022 was $3 (September 30, 2022 $386).
