Notes to the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements

(in Canadian dollars)

Three and six months ended March 31, 2024

 

1.Reporting entity, nature of operations and going concern uncertainty

 

Reporting entity

 

On June 12, 2023, LeddarTech Holdings Inc., a company incorporated under the laws of Canada entered into the Business Combination Agreement, as amended on September 25, 2023 (the “BCA”), by and among LeddarTech Holdings Inc., Prospector Capital Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Prospector”), and LeddarTech Inc., a corporation existing under the laws of Canada.

 

Unless otherwise indicated and unless the context otherwise requires, “LeddarTech” or “the Company”, at all times prior to consummation of the Business Combination, refers to LeddarTech Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, and at all times following consummation of the Business Combination, refers to LeddarTech Holdings Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.

 

Refer to Note 3, Acquisition of Prospector Capital Corp., for additional information on the amalgamation of the Company on December 21, 2023.

 

These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements are comprised of the accounts of LeddarTech and its wholly owned subsidiaries and the prior period amounts are those of LeddarTech, which continued as the operating entity under the same name following the amalgamation.

 

The Company’s subsidiaries are as follows:

 

  

 

Place of
incorporation

  Proportion of ownership interest held by the Company 
Name of subsidiary  and
operation
  March  31,
2024
   September 30,

LeddarTech (Shenzhen) Sensing Technology Co., Ltd  China   100%   100%
Vayavision Sensing, Ltd. (“Vayavision”)  Israel   100%   60%
LeddarTech Germany GmbH  Germany   100%   100%

 

The Company’s head office is located at 240-4535, boul. Wilfrid-Hamel, Québec City, Québec,

G1P 2J7, Canada.

 

Nature of operations

Three and six months ended March 31, 2024

 

1.Reporting entity, nature of operations and going concern uncertainty (continued)

 

Going concern uncertainty

 

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared on a going concern basis, which presumes the Company will continue its operations for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations. In its assessment to determine if the going concern assumption is appropriate, management considers all data available regarding the future for at least, without limiting to, the next twelve months from the date of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

The Company has an accumulated deficit of $556,329,647 as of March 31 2024, and, for the six months ended March 31, 2024, incurred a net loss of $77,863,292 and net cash outflows related to operating and investing activities amounting to $32,271,562 and $4,885,976 respectively. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had a cash balance of $14,322,794 and an outstanding credit facility of $30,000,000 with a maturity date of January 31, 2026.

 

Based on cash flow projections, the Company does not expect to have sufficient cash resources in the coming year ending September 30, 2024, to develop its technology, to fund its operations and to comply with its credit facility covenants as renewed.

 

The ability of the Company to fulfill its obligations and finance its future activities depends on its ability to raise capital and the continuous support of its creditors. The Company has historically been successful in raising capital through issuances of equity and debt and refinancing its credit facilities (refer to Note 7). Consequently, the Company believes its effort to raise sufficient funds to support its activities will be successful. However, there can be no certainty as to the ability of the Company to achieve successful outcomes to these matters. This indicates the existence of a material uncertainty that raises substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

 

The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not purport to give effect to adjustments, if any, to the amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and be required to realize its assets and liquidate its liabilities in other than normal course of business.

 

These interim consolidated financial statements were approved for issue by the Company’s Audit Committee of the Company on May 13th, 2024.

2.Summary of significant accounting policies

 

Statement of compliance

 

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended March 31, 2024 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, “Interim Financial Reporting” as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). The same accounting policies and methods of computation are followed in the unaudited interim condensed financial statements as compared with the most recent annual financial statements. They do not include all of the financial statement disclosures required for annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2023, and 2022, which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the IASB. However, selected explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in the Company’s financial position and performance since the last annual financial statements.

 

3.Acquisition of Prospector Capital Corp.

 

On December 21, 2023, the Company completed a plan of arrangement pursuant to a BCA with Prospector and LeddarTech Holdings Inc. Pursuant to the plan of arrangement and BCA, Prospector amalgamated with LeddarTech Holdings Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company which was incorporated for the purpose of effecting the business combination, to form “Amalco”. Also pursuant to the plan of arrangement, after the preferred shares of LeddarTech converted into common shares of LeddarTech, Amalco acquired all of the issued and outstanding common shares of LeddarTech from LeddarTech’s shareholders in exchange for common shares of Amalco, and LeddarTech and Amalco amalgamated. The Transactions are accounted for as a reverse asset acquisition in accordance with IFRS 2, Share-Based Payment (“IFRS 2”) since Prospector does not meet the definition of a business in accordance with IFRS 3, Business Combinations (“IFRS 3”).

 

On closing, the Company accounted for the fair value of the common shares issued to Prospector shareholders at the market price of Prospector's publicly traded common shares on December 21, 2023. The fair value of the Class A non-voting special shares was determined using an option pricing model that considers the vesting terms of the instruments issued, which are subject to a seven-year vesting pursuant to which such Class A non-voting special shares will vest and convert into common shares, in equal thirds upon the volume weighted average price of the common shares exceeding US$12.00, US$14.00 and US$16.00, respectively, for any 20 trading days within any consecutive 30 trading day period commencing at least 150 days following the closing. As part of the amalgamation, the Company acquired cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and warrant liabilities. The difference between the fair value of the consideration paid over the fair value of the identifiable net assets of Prospector represents a service for the listing of the Company and is recognized as a listing expense in the interim condensed consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss.

4.Restructuring costs and others

 

Restructuring mainly involves two components of the Company, referred to as “Components” and “Modules”.

 

In October 2022, LeddarTech announced restructuring initiatives driven by a change in the focus of the Company’s operations, now focused on services and products targeted at the ADAS market. These initiatives, consisting of the reduction of the workforce, have mostly been completed over the fiscal year ending September 30, 2023. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2023, restructuring costs of $587,973 and $1,552,529 respectively were incurred.

 

Although our Modules business has been actively commercialized for many months, no potential buyer has been identified and the underlying assets have not shown to be attractive on the current market. There is no Letter of Intention or any other indication that the sale of our Modules business or of any of the underlying asset could be highly probable. Thus, we determined that it is not highly probable that a sale will be completed within the next 12 months.

 

For the Components business, LeddarTech originally had the intention of selling the business; however, in September 2022, it was determined that Components business would be wound down. All assets related to the Components business were deemed impaired as of September 30, 2022, except for $4.3 million related to one contract under negotiation at that time, which did not culminate in a project and were subsequently deemed impaired in the first quarter of 2023 (Note 5).

 

Also, in the context of this change of focus in the LeddarTech’s operations, the Company revised its revenues forecasts for certain programs. Consequently, a write-down on inventories of $408,652 was recognized during the six months ended March 31, 2023 (three months ended March 31, 2023 – nil) on the interim condensed consolidated statements of loss, under cost of sales. For the three months and six months ended March 31, 2023, an onerous contract loss of $602,906 and $1,653,068 was also recorded under cost of sales.

3During the first quarter of fiscal year 2023, an impairment expense amounting to $5,791,439 was recognized:

 

i.During that period, the Company reviewed its September 30,2022 transition plan resulting in certain development costs and licenses no longer expected to be used. Consequently, certain intangible assets were no longer expected to be used and the test was performed at the asset level. These assets had a carrying amount of $5,791,439 and were completely written-off, resulting in an impairment expense of the same amount, including the license related to the development of Components technology projects for $1,424,196.

a)Convertible loan

 

On June 12, 2023, concurrently with the execution of the BCA described in Note 3, LeddarTech entered into a subscription agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”) with certain investors, including investors who subsequently joined the Subscription Agreement (the “PIPE Investors”), pursuant to which the PIPE Investors agreed to purchase secured convertible notes of LeddarTech (the “PIPE Convertible Notes”) in an aggregate principal amount of at least US$43.0 million (the “PIPE Financing”).

 

The Tranche A subscription was completed in June 2023 and July 2023. Tranche B-1 was completed in October 2023 with the remaining Tranche B-2 completed at closing of the BCA.

 

PIPE Investors in certain tranches of the PIPE Convertible Notes received at the time of issuance of such notes warrants to acquire Class D-1 preferred shares of LeddarTech (the “Class D-1 Preferred Shares” and the warrants, the “PIPE Warrants”). All of the PIPE Warrants were exercised, and the Class D-1 Preferred Shares issued upon exercise of the PIPE Warrants entitled the PIPE Investors to receive approximately 8,553,434 Common Shares upon the closing of the Business Combination.

The conversion option was initially recognized at the fair value, determined using a Black-Scholes valuation model, for an amount of US$ 694,758 ($962,726). The conversion option is a liability classified embedded derivative whose fair value is recorded in the interim condensed Consolidated statements of financial position under Conversion options within the Company’s liabilities. This embedded derivative is separated from the host contract and recognized as of fair value through profit or loss, with changes in its fair value recorded in the interim condensed Consolidated statements of loss under Finance costs.

 

The 24,322 warrants to acquire 24,322 D-1 Preferred Shares were recognized at their fair value of US$1,260,107 ($2,059,081), determined using a Black-Scholes valuation model.

 

The fair value of the conversion option and the warrants at initial recognition were determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the following assumptions:

 

   Conversion

b)Amendments to the Credit Facility

 

A series of amendments were made to the Credit Facility on October 13, 2023, October 20, 2023, October 31, 2023 and December 8, 2023. These amendments modify the existing terms in order to (i) extend the latest date on which the Tranche B of the SPAC Offering must be funded to December 22, 2023, (ii) extend the date on which the payment of interest for the months of October and November 2023 may be made, (iii) reduce the Available Cash requirement for the period from the date of the disbursement of the Tranche A of the SPAC Offering until October 31, 2023 from $2,500,000 to $1,500,000, to $Nil until the DE-SPAC date and from $10,000,000 to $5,000,000 at all times after the DE-SPAC date and (iv) to increase the aggregate principal amount of the PIPE financing to a minimum of $44,000,000.

 

In conjunction with the Credit Facility October 2023 Amendments, the Company issued warrants to purchase Company Common Shares at $0.01 per share, which warrants will be assumed by the Company and exercisable for 250,000 Company Common Shares at $0.01 per share.

 

The warrants may be exercised, in whole or in part, for a period of five years following completion of the Business Combination and will be subject to a lock-up with one third being released four months after closing, another third being released eight months after closing and the final third being released 12 months after closing.

 

The warrants were recorded as a reduction of the Credit Facility, with a corresponding increase in Reserve – Warrants in Equity of $1,643,714.

 

8.Warrant liability

 

   As of March 31, 2024 
   Number   $ 
         
Public and Private Warrants   16,049,080    2,772,679 
Vesting Sponsor Warrants   1,416,670    141,667 
    17,465,750    2,914,346 

 

Upon close of the acquisition of Prospector, the Company assumed through the Transactions, public warrants, private warrants and vesting sponsor warrants (“Public Warrants”, “Private Warrants” and “Vesting Sponsor Warrants”, collectively "the Prospector Warrants") in connection with the BCA and plan of arrangement (Note 3).

 

The Warrants each entitle their holders to purchase one common share at an exercise price of US$11.17 per common share, which is variable in $CDN. Accordingly, they are classified as a liability rather than equity as the Warrants do not meet the ‘fixed for fixed’ requirement. The Public and Private Warrants are exercisable and will expire on December 21, 2030. The Vesting Sponsor Warrants are identical to the Public and Private Warrants, except that the Vesting Sponsor Warrants will be deemed vested in equal thirds upon the volume weighted average price of the common shares exceeding US$12.00, US$14.00 and US$16.00, respectively, for any 20 trading days within any consecutive 30 trading day period commencing at least 150 days following the closing. None of the Vesting Sponsor Warrants are redeemable by the Company.

8.Warrant liability (continued)

 

The Warrants were initially recorded at their fair value (Note 3). The fair value of the Warrants is reassessed at the end of each reporting period with subsequent changes in fair value recognized through profit or loss. The Public Warrants are considered a level 1 financial instrument as the valuations at the end of each reporting period are based on the trading price of the Public Warrants on the Nasdaq, which are quoted and observable market prices. The Private Warrants are a level 2 financial instrument, as the valuations are based on the quoted and observable market prices of the Public Warrants. The Vesting Sponsor Warrants are a level 3 financial instrument, as the valuations are based on the quoted and observable market prices of the Public Warrants but also unobservable data.

Exercise of call option

 

As of November 1, 2023, the Company exercised its call option to acquire its remaining participation in VayaVision. Per the original Share Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) conditions, the purchase of the VayaVision of Common shares was paid in exchange of Common Shares of the Company, based on a determined ratio and already detailed in the SPA.

 

This transaction resulted in an increase in the Company’s interest in VayaVision from 60.0% to 100.0% and was accounted for as an equity transaction. The purchase price of $57,724 was equity-settled. As a result, the carrying value of (i) non-controlling interests of $9,508,328 and (ii) the related other component of equity of $2,431,688 were reversed leading to a reduction of deficit of $7,134,364.

 

Special Shares

 

Upon close of the acquisition of Prospector, the Company issued through the Transactions, 2,031,250 Class A non-voting special shares having a value of $10,115,625 to Prospector Sponsor in connection with the BCA and plan of arrangement (Note 3).

 

The Class A non-voting special shares will vest and convert into common shares, in equal thirds upon the volume weighted average price of the common shares exceeding US$12.00, US$14.00 and US$16.00, respectively, for any 20 trading days within any consecutive 30 trading day period commencing at least 150 days following the closing.

 

On December 21, 2023, LeddarTech shareholders were issued 4,999,815 Earnout Non-Voting Special Shares of an aggregate fair value of $22,960,000 consisting of the following:

 

999,963 Class B Non-Voting Special Shares all of which shall automatically convert to an equal number of Common Shares if (y) on any twenty (20) Trading Days within any thirty (30) consecutive Trading Day period commencing at least one hundred and fifty (150) days following the Closing Date, the Common Shares achieve a VWAP of greater than $12.00; or (z) there occurs any Change of Control Transaction with a valuation of the Common Shares that is greater than $12.00 per Common Share;

11.Stock-based compensation

 

M-option

 

Preceding closing of the acquisition of Prospector (Note 3), pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement, each of 18,647 M-Options have been exchanged for an option to purchase one common shares of the Company.

 

The replacement options have an exercise price of $0.01. The M-option redemption feature was not carried to the replacement option and as a result, the replacement options are classified as equity. Upon replacement of the award, the fair value of the option of $117,246 was recognized in reserve – stock option and the redeemable stock option liability of $6,102,496 was reversed, resulting in a gain on modification of stock options of $5,985,250 in the interim condensed consolidated statement of loss.

 

Stock-based compensation related to the BCA

 

On May 1st, 2023, the Company entered into an agreement with a service provider regarding the BCA described in note 3. The agreement implies, upon the completion of the BCA, a transaction fee payable in exchange of a number of common shares of the Company equivalent to US$700,000. During the first quarter of 2024, a portion ($506,774) of the transaction fee was recognized as transaction costs in the interim condensed Consolidated statement of loss, with a counterparty in Other components of equity.

 

Equity Incentive Plan

 

Immediately prior to the acquisition of Prospector, the Company adopted an Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) for certain qualified directors, executive officers, employees and consultants. This Plan continues in full force and effect as the Company equity incentive plan following the Company Amalgamation. The number of shares available for issuance under the Plan shall not exceed at any time 5,000,000 shares.

The Plan provide for the grant of unvested Company Common Shares, (i) share options (“options”), (ii) restricted share units (“RSUs”), (iii) deferred share units (“DSUs”) and (iv) performance share units (“PSUs”). Various vesting conditions may apply to each award and may include continued service, performance and/or other conditions.

 

Following the adoption of the new equity incentive and the grants of the first awards of this Plan, the Company closed off the reserve stock option balance related to the previous equity incentive plan, in the deficit.

 

(i) Options

 

The Company has a stock option plan as part of the incentive plan in which options to purchase common shares are issued to officers and key employees. Under this plan the options will vest between the grant date and March 2028.

 

Options are expensed on an earned basis. The related compensation expense is included in the stock-based compensation expense.

12.Loss per share

 

Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the loss attributable to equity holders of the parent by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.

 

The potential effect of dilution from outstanding stock options, convertible preferred stocks, warrants, and put and call options were excluded from the calculation of the diluted loss per common share since the Company incurred losses and the inclusion of these instruments would have an antidilutive effect.
