SOLARBANK CORPORATION

Notes to Condensed Interim Consolidate Financial Statements

For the period ended December 31, 2023, and 2022

(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

(Unaudited)

 

 

1. Nature of operations:

 

SolarBank Corporation (formerly Abundant Solar Energy Inc.) (the “Company”) was formed under the laws of the province of Ontario on September 23, 2013. The Company is engaged in the development and operation of solar photovoltaic power generation projects in the province of Ontario and New York state. The Company changed its name from Abundant Solar Energy Inc. to SolarBank Corporation on October 7, 2022.

 

The address of the Company and the principal place of the business is 505 Consumers Rd, Suite 803, Toronto, ON, M2J 4Z2.

 

On March 1, 2023, the Company closed its initial public offering (the “Offering”) of common shares. With completion of the Offering, the Company commenced trading its common shares on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the “CSE”) under the symbol “SUNN” on March 2, 2023.

 

2. Material accounting policy information

 

  (a) Statement of compliance and basis of preparation:

 

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”), applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements, including International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34, Interim Financial Reporting (“IAS 34”), and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2023.

 

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements were prepared on a going concern basis.

 

The board approved these condensed interim consolidated financial statements of directors for issue on February 21, 2024.

 

  (b) Basis of consolidation:

 

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly or partially owned subsidiaries.

 

Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which the Company obtains control up to the date of the disposition of control. Control is achieved when the Company has power over the subsidiary, is exposed or has rights to variable returns from its involvement with the subsidiary and has the ability to use its power to affect its returns. For non-wholly owned subsidiaries over which the Company has control, the net assets attributable to outside equity shareholders are presented as “non-controlling interests” in the equity section of the consolidated statement of financial position. Net income or loss for the period that is attributable to the non-controlling interests is calculated based on the ownership of the non-controlling interest shareholders in the subsidiary.

 

Balance, transactions, income and expenses between the Company and its subsidiaries are eliminated on consolidation.

2. Material accounting policy information (continued)

 

  (c) New standards and amendments adopted by the Company:

 

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the 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 June 30, 2023, except for the adoption of new standards effective as of July 1, 2023. The Company has not early adopted any standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective.

 

The amendments below apply for the first time effective July 1, 2023, but do not have an impact on the condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Company.

 

IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors

 

In February 2021, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 8 to clarify how reporting entities should distinguish changes in accounting policies from changes in accounting estimates. The amendments include a definition of “accounting estimates” as well as other amendments to IAS 8 that will help entities distinguish changes in accounting policies from changes in accounting estimates. This distinction between these two types of changes is important as changes in accounting policies are normally applied retrospectively to past transactions and events, whereas changes in accounting estimates are applied prospectively to future transactions and events.

 

IAS 1 – Presentation of Financial Statements

 

In February 2021, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements” and IFRS Practice Statement 2 “Making Materiality Judgements” aiming to improve accounting policy disclosures. The amendments to IAS 1 require reporting entities to disclose their material accounting policy information rather than their significant accounting policies. The amendments to IFRS Practice Statement 2 provide guidance on how to apply the concept of materiality to accounting policy disclosures.

3. Short-term investments

 

Short-term investments consist of investments with market values closely approximating book values and original maturities between three and twelve months at the time of purchase.

 

As at December 31, 2023, the Company has one GIC in short-term investment of $220,000. The GIC has one year term and with interest rate of 4.95%.

 

As at June 30, 2023, the Company has two GICs in short-term investment totaling $6,550,000. The GIC of $2,980,000 has one year term and with interest rate of 4.7%. The GIC of $3,570,000 has one year term and with interest rate of 4.95%.

 

4. Trade and other receivables

 

   December 31, 2023   June 30, 2023 
         
Accounts receivable, net  $3,304,767   $1,978,834 
Receivable from Solar Flow-Through (1)   -    1,537,357 
Other receivable   188,571    321,016 
   $3,493,337   $3,837,207 

 

  (1) In 2017, the Company entered into a sales contract with a group of limited partnerships known as Solar Flow-Through Funds (“SFT”) to provide development services for solar photovoltaic projects. The aged receivable of $1,457,489 from SFT as at June 30, 2023 was collected during the six months ended December 31, 2023. Additional $1,462,752 was collected and recorded in other income as accounts receivable recovery for the six months ended December 31, 2023. The Company owns partnership units in SFT, see Note 18.

 

5. Prepaid expenses and deposits

 

   December 31, 2023   June 30, 2023 
         
Interconnection deposits(1)  $-   $469,725 
Construction in progress deposit(2)   4,240,359    1,623,209 
Security deposits   12,352    12,352 
Prepaid insurance   277,850    74,373 
Prepaid marketing expenses(3)   28,109    782,101 
Other prepaids and deposits   127,812    92,918 
   $4,686,482   $3,054,678 

 

  (1) Interconnection deposits are made to the utility companies for the connection cost of each project that completes a CESIR report (Coordinated Electric System Interconnection Review) with that utility. The utility companies complete their analysis and provide an estimated cost to connect the project to the grid when ready. To hold the place in the utility line and reserve grid capacity for said project, the estimated connection cost must be paid ahead of time which is what comprises the interconnection deposits amount.

12. Long-term debt

 

   December 31, 2023   June 30, 2023 
Highly Affected Sectors Credit Availability Program (1)  $814,815   $870,370 
Canadian Emergency Business Account (2)   40,000    40,000 
Long-term loans(3)   2,302,949    - 
Total   3,157,764    910,370 
Less: current portion   345,785    151,111 
Long-term portion  $2,811,979   $759,259 

 

  (1) In 2021, the Company received a Highly Affected Sectors Credit Availability Program (HASCAP) loan for a total of $1,000,000 at 4% annual interest rate from Bank of Montreal. The loan has a ten-year amortization period with interest payment only for the first year. Principal payments are to commence in May 2022. During the three months and six month ended December 31, 2023, the interest recorded and paid was $8,397 and $17,077 (3-month and 6-month period ended December 31, 2022 - $9,803 and $19,325).
     
  (2) The Company received a Canada Emergency Business Account (“CEBA”) interest-free loan for a total of $60,000 from the Government of Canada. The loan bears interest at 0% per annum and is repayable by January 18, 2024. If $40,000 is repaid in full on or before January 18, 2024 and certain conditions are met, which include the use of funds for non-deferrable operating expenses only, $20,000 of the loan will be forgiven. Alternatively, on December 31, 2023, the Company can exercise the option to extend the loan for a two-year term which bears interest at 5% per annum.
     
    The Company repaid the loan on January 8, 2024. Accordingly, the forgiveness portion of the $20,000 was recognized as government grant income during the year ended June 30, 2021 when the Company received the loan. The Company remains contingently liable as the Company will be required to repay the forgiven amount if the conditions are not met.
     
  (3) The Company obtained these loans as a result of acquisition of OFIT GM and OFIT RT. The loans were originally obtained on December 19, 2017 for a total principal amount of $4,248,495 and used interest rate swap agreements to fix the annual interest rate at 4.75%. The loans are guaranteed by Panasonic Corporation North America and collateralized by the solar projects, including related contracts such as FIT contract, EPC contract, site leases and similar contracts. The carrying value of solar projects was $6.45 million upon entering the loan agreements and the carrying value of solar projects as at December 31, 2023 was $1.31 million. The loans will mature on December 19, 2035 with interest payable quarterly commencing on March 19, 2018 and principal payments payable semi-annually commencing on June 19, 2018. The fair value of the loans recorded at acquisition date of November 1, 2023 were determined by using a discount rate of 12.5%. During the period from the acquisition date to December 31, 2023, the interest recorded and paid was $81,297 and interest accretion on fair value of the loans was $33,339.

 

Estimated principal repayments are as follows:

 
2024  $653,543 
2025   634,714 
2026   628,086 
2027   427,157 
2027 onwards   3,810,152

13. Tax equity

 

On June 20, 2023, the Company acquired 67% membership interest in an entity which owns and operates certain solar facilities in the US under subsidiaries that are set up as tax equity structures to finance the capital cost of the solar facilities. Amounts paid by the TEIs for their equity stakes are classified as debt on the consolidated statements of financial position and are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate (“EIR”) method. Amortized cost is affected by the allocation of ITCs, taxable income, and accelerated tax depreciation. Financing expenses represent the interest accretion using the EIR. The EIR of the tax equity was determined to be 9%, the loan value was $549,061 (USD 414,699), with a maturity date (representing the expected flip point as estimated) of 2028 and the percentage of ownership between 99%, reflecting the allocation of taxable income or loss prior to the flip date.

 

Tax equity investors in US solar projects generally require sponsor guarantees as a condition to their investment. To support the tax equity investments, the Company executed guarantees indemnifying the tax equity investors against certain breaches of project level representations, warranties and covenants and other events. The Company believe these indemnifications cover matters which are substantially under its control and are very unlikely to occur.

 

14. Financial instruments

 

The Company as part of its operations carries financial instruments consisting of cash, short term investment, trade receivables, accounts payable and accruals, loan payable, lease liabilities, tax equity and long-term debt.

 

  (a) Fair value:

 

The Company’s financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are measured and recognized according to a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices. Iin active markets for identical assets and liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The three levels of fair value hierarchy are as follows:

 

  Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
  Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability.
  Level 3: Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

 

Cash is carried at fair value using a Level 1 fair value measurement. Investment in partnership units is carried at fair value using a Level 3 fair value measurement. Significant unoberservable inputs are used in discount cash flows method to determine the fair value of the partnership units, There were no transfers into or out of Level 3 during the period ended December 31, 2023.

 

The carrying amounts of trade and other receivables, trade and other payables approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturities of these items. The carrying amounts of loan payable, lease liabilities, tax equity liabilities and long-term debt approximate their fair value as they are discounted at the current market rate of interest.

 

  (b) Financial risk management:

 

  (i) Credit risk and economic dependence:

 

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss associated with the counterparty’s inability to fulfill its payment obligations. The Company has no significant credit risk with its counterparties. The carrying amount of financial assets net of impairment, if any, represents the Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk.

 

The Company has assessed the creditworthiness of its trade and other receivables and amount determined the credit risk to be low. Utility deposits are made to local government utility with high creditworthiness. Cash has low credit risk as it is held by internationally recognized financial institutions.

14. Financial instruments (continued)

 

  (iii) Liquidity risk:

 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities when due by maintaining adequate reserves, banking facilities, and borrowing facilities. All of the Company’s financial liabilities are subject to normal trade terms.

 

  (iv) Interest rate risk:

 

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company does not carry debt at a variable rate and is exposed to interest rate risk on its cash which is not considered significant.

16. Acquisitions

 

Solar Alliance DevCo LLC

 

Abundant Solar Power (“ASP”) has an EPC agreement with Solar Alliance Energy Inc (“Solar Alliance”) to be engaged in the development, engineering, procurement, construction, and operations of solar energy facilities (US1 & VC1 projects). The US1 & VC1 projects reached PTO (permission to operation) in December 2022. According to the EPC agreement, ASP had fulfilled its performance obligation and was able to recognize EPC services revenue at the amount of $1,340,765 CAD ($1,082,345 USD) when US1 & VC1 projects were reached PTO.

 

On December 28, 2022, the Company entered into a promissory note with Solar Alliance converting a series of overdue accounts receivables of $1,206,004 (USD $891,158) since August 2022 to a note receivable. The promissory note bears interest rate of 15% per annum and was payable on a monthly basis.

 

On June 20, 2023, the Company settled the outstanding promissory note of $1,206,004 (USD $891,158) plus accrued interest of $111,821 (USD $82,203) through the acquisition of 67% of in Solar Alliance DevCo, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Solar Alliance, under the terms of membership interest purchase agreement. As a result of the acquisition, Solar Alliance DevCo operates as a subsidiary of ASP. Solar Alliance DevCo holds two solar energy facilities (US1 & VC1) which have reached commercial operation stage. As a result, the Company has determined that this transaction is a business combination as the assets acquired and liabilities assumed constitute a business. The transaction was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting whereby the assets acquired, and liabilities assumed were recorded at their estimated fair values at the acquisition date.

 

The provisional allocation of the purchase consideration to the total fair value of net assets acquired is as follows:

 

Fair value of net assets acquired  $  
Accounts receivable   407,210 
Capital assets   937,194 
Accounts payable   (25,851)
Tax equity liability   (460,607)
Identifiable net assets acquired   857,946 
Non-controlling interest   (283,122)
Purchase consideration transferred   574,824 

 

On acquisition, the purchase consideration transferred of $574,824 is the fair value of the promissory note plus accrued interest as of June 20, 2023. Hence, the Company recognized an impairment loss of $724,205 (USD $539,204) from the remeasurement of promissory note to its fair value as of the acquisition date. The impairment loss was recognized in profit and loss in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023.

 

On December 4, 2023, ASP acquired the remaining 33% of Solar Alliance DevCo for $95,333 (USD $70,000). The 33% non-controlling interest was originally valued at $283,122 (USD $213,838) on acquisition date. Accordingly, a gain of $195,893 (USD $143,838) is recognized as other income in the statement of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) for the six months period ended December 31, 2023.

16. Acquisitions (continued)

 

OFIT GM Inc. and OFIT RT Inc.

 

The Company entered into share purchase agreements (the “SPAs”) dated October 23, 2023 to acquire control of two corporations that hold solar projects located in Ontario with a combined capacity of 2.5 MW (the “Projects”) for consideration of $432,510 cash and 278,875 common shares (the “Consideration Shares”) of the Company (the “OFIT Transaction”). The corporations OFIT GM and OFIT RT (the “Purchased Entities”) have been operating the Projects since 2017. The transaction closed on November 1, 2023. The shares of the Purchased Entities were acquired from N. Fine Investments Limited and Linden Power Inc. Pursuant to the terms of the SPAs, the Company acquired 49.9% ownership of OFIT RT Inc. where Whitesand First Nation owns the remaining shares of OFIT RT Inc. The Company also acquired 49.9% ownership of OFIT GM Inc. where the Town of Kapuskasing owns the remaining shares of OFIT GM Inc. The shares owned by the Town of Kapuskasing have no voting right, hence, the Company controls and consolidate the Purchased Entities.

 

The acquisition of the Purchased Entities is considered a business combination as the assets acquired and liabilities assumed constitute a business. The transaction was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting whereby the assets acquired, and liabilities assumed were recorded at their estimated fair value at the acquisition date.

 

Due to the timing of the acquisition and the ongoing collection of data necessary to value the acquired assets and liabilities, the identified assets acquired and liabilities assumed have been determined provisionally and purchase price allocation has not yet been finalized. Changes in the assumptions used in the valuation of these assets may affect the fair value resulting in a reallocation of purchase price to or from the amount recognized for goodwill. Any changes in these amounts will also result in a change in the relevant deferred tax liabilities recognized on the intangibles. The Company expects to finalize its purchase price allocation by the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024.

 

The President & Chief Executive Officer and a director of the Company is indirectly a shareholder of the Purchased Entities and indirectly received one-third of the Consideration Shares. As a result, the Transaction is considered a related party transaction.
