PyroGenesis Canada Inc.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

As at June 30, 2023 and for the periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022

(Unaudited)

(In Canadian dollars)

 

1.Nature of operations

 

PyroGenesis Canada Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”), incorporated under the laws of the Canada Business Corporations Act, was formed on July 11, 2011. The Company owns patents of advanced waste treatment systems technology and designs, develops, manufactures and commercialises advanced plasma processes and sustainable solutions to reduce greenhouse gases. The Company is domiciled at 1744 William Street, Suite 200, Montreal, Quebec. The Company is publicly traded on the TSX Exchange under the Symbol “PYR”, on NASDAQ in the USA under the symbol "PYR" and on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (FSX) under the symbol “8PY “.

 

2.Going concern

 

These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which presumes that the Company will be able to continue its operations for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future.

 

The Company is subject to certain risks and uncertainty associated with the achievement of profitable operations such as the successful signing and delivery of contracts and access to adequate financing.

 

The Company has incurred, in the last years, operating losses and negative cash flows from operations, and as a result, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $105,872,203 as at June 30, 2023, ($93,384,858 as at December 31, 2022). Furthermore, there have been unexpected delays in the collection of certain accounts receivable from contracts closed in a prior year. This has resulted in a shortfall in cash flows from operating activities that would be used in funding the Company’s operations.

 

As at June 30, 2023, the Company has working capital deficiency of $3,168,366 ($1,650,709 as at December 31, 2022) including cash of $829,583 ($3,445,649 as at December 31, 2022). The working capital is net of an allowance for credit losses amounting to $6,303,840 ($5,023,283 as at December 31, 2022) as further described in Notes 6 and 7. The Company’s business plan is dependent upon the successful completion of contracts and also the receipt of payments from certain contracts closed in a prior year and expects these payments to be made during fiscal 2023, as well as the achievement of profitable operations through the signing, completion and delivery of additional contracts or a reduction in certain operating expenses. In the absence of this, the Company is dependent upon raising additional funds to finance operations within and beyond the next twelve months. The Company has been successful in securing financing in the past and has relied upon external financing to fund its operations, primarily through the issuance of equity, debt and convertible debentures. The Company completed a private placement in October 2022 for an amount of $1,318,980 and also completed another private placement in March 2023 for net proceeds $4,960,483 (Note 13). In addition, in July 2023, the Company also completed a brokered private placement of convertible debenture units for gross proceeds of $3,030,000 (Note 23). While the Company has been successful in securing financing, raising additional funds is dependent on a number of factors, some of which are outside the Company’s control, and therefore there is no assurance that it will be able to do so in the future or that these sources will be available to the Company or that they will be available on terms which are acceptable to the Company. These conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue operating as a going concern.

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis and do not include any adjustments to the amounts and to classifications of the assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to achieve its plan and continue in business. If the going concern assumption were not appropriate, adjustments, which could be material, would be necessary to the carrying value of assets and liabilities, the reported expenses, and the classification of items on the condensed consolidated statement of financial position.

 

3.Basis of preparation

 

(a)Statement of compliance

 

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) 34 Interim Financial Statements, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"). These condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include all of the necessary information required for full annual financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

As at June 30, 2023 and for the periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022

(Unaudited)

(In Canadian dollars)

 

These financial statements were approved and authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors on August 10, 2023.

 

(b)Functional and presentation currency

 

These consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the functional currency of PyroGenesis, Drosrite International LLC and Pyro Green-Gas Inc. The functional currency of Airscience Italia SRL is the Euro whereas the functional currency of Airscience Technologies Private Limited is the Indian rupee.

 

(c)Basis of measurement

 

These financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for:

 

(i)strategic investments which are accounted for at fair value,
(ii)stock-based payment arrangements, which are measured at fair value on the grant date pursuant to IFRS 2, Share-based Payment; and
(iii)lease liabilities, which are initially measured at the present value of minimum lease payments

 

(d)Basis of consolidation

 

For financial reporting purposes, subsidiaries are defined as entities controlled by the Company. The Company controls an entity when it has power over the investee; it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity; and it has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity.

 

In instances where the Company does not hold a majority of the voting rights, further analysis is performed to determine whether or not the Company has control of the entity. The Company is deemed to have control when, according to the terms of the shareholder’s and/or other agreements, it makes most of the decisions affecting relevant activities.

 

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of PyroGenesis and its subsidiaries, Drosrite International LLC and Pyro Green-Gas Inc. and its subsidiaries. Drosrite International LLC is owned by a member of the Company’s key management personnel and close member of the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and controlling shareholder’s family and is deemed to be controlled by the Company. All transactions and balances between the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated upon consolidation.

 

The accounting policies disclosed in the December 31, 2022 year-end consolidated financial statements have been applied consistently in the preparation of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements. Finance income (costs) and changes in fair value of strategic investments are excluded from the loss from operations in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.

 

4.Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions

 

The significant judgments, estimates and assumptions applied by the Company in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements are the same as those applied by the Company in its audited annual financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2022.

19.Financial instruments

 

As part of its operations, the Company carries a number of financial instruments. It is management's opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments except as otherwise disclosed. The Company's overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of the financial market and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the Company's financial performance. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments to hedge these risks.

 

Foreign currency risk

 

The Company enters into transactions denominated in US dollars for which the related revenues, expenses, accounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued liabilities balances are subject to exchange rate fluctuations.

 

As at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 the Company's exposure to foreign exchange risk for amounts denominated in US dollars is as follows:

 

   June 30, 2023   December 31, 2022 
   $   $ 
Cash   196,424    2,871,062 
Accounts receivable   10,740,117    13,537,912 
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities   (2,233,953)   (1,713,717)
Total   8,702,588    14,695,257 

 

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates.

 

Sensitivity analysis

 

At June 30, 2023, if the US dollar had changed by 10% against the Canadian dollar with all other variables held constant, the impact on pre-tax gain or loss and equity for the three-month period ended June 30, 2023 would have been $870,300.

Credit concentration

 

During the three-month period ended June 30, 2023, three customers accounted for 54%, (Q2, 2022 – five customers for 72%) of revenues from operations.

 

During the six-month period ended June 30, 2023, three customers accounted for 60%, (Six-month period ended June 30, 2022 – five customers for 68%) of revenues from operations.

 

   Three months ended June 30, 2023   Six months ended June 30, 2023 
       % of total       % of total 
   Revenues   revenues   Revenues   revenues

Total   1,640,000    54    3,414,857    60 

 

Two customers accounted for 61% and 20%, respectively (December 31, 2022 – three customers for 56%, 16% and 11%, respectively) of the total trade accounts receivable with amounts owing to the Company of $13,966,701 (2022 - $18,894,727), representing the Company's major credit risk exposure. Credit concentration is determined based on customers representing 10% or more of total revenues and/or total accounts receivable.

 

Credit risk

 

Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the other party by failing to discharge an obligation. The maximum credit risk to which the Company is exposed as at June 30, 2023 represents the carrying amount of cash, accounts receivable (except sales tax receivable), costs and profits in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts, deposits and royalties receivable.

 

Cash is held with major reputable financial institutions.

 

Management has established a credit policy under which each new customer is analysed individually for creditworthiness before the Company’s payment and delivery terms and conditions are offered. The Company’s review could include reviewing external ratings, if they are available, financial statements, credit agency information, industry information and in some cases bank references. The Company’s exposure to credit risk is mainly influenced by the individual characteristics of each customer. In monitoring customer credit risk, customers are identified according to their characteristics such as their geographic location, industry, trading history with the Company and existence of previous financial difficulties.

 

The Company does not generally require collateral or other security from customers on accounts receivable, however, the contract terms may include the possibility of recourse in the event of late payment. The Company believes that there is no unusual exposure associated with the collection of these receivables.

 

The credit risk associated with costs and profits in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts is similar to that of accounts receivable, as these amounts are accumulated and converted to accounts receivable as invoicing milestones are reached.

 

The royalties receivable are due from a company in which the Company has a strategic investments. The Company does not have collateral or other security associated with the collection of this receivable. The carrying amount of the royalties receivable have been discounted to reflect the time value of money and credit risk of the counterparty.

 

The deposits are payments made to suppliers and entities from which the Company leases property. The Company does not have collateral or other security associated with the collection of these deposits. As at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, no loss allowance has been recognized in connection with these deposits and the maximum exposure is the carrying amount of these deposits.

During the six-month period ended June 30, 2023, and the year-end December 31, 2022, provisions for expected credit losses were recorded, however, the accounts provisioned by the loss are still subject to enforcement activity in order to collect the balances due.

 

Interest rate risk

 

Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument might be adversely affected by a change in interest rates. Changes in market interest rates may have an effect on the cash flows associated with some financial assets and liabilities, known as cash flow risk, and on the fair value of other financial assets or liabilities, known as price risk, and on the fair value of investments or liabilities, known as price risks. The Company is exposed to a risk of fair value on term loans as those financial instruments bear interest at fixed rates and to cash flow risk from the variable interest rate of the bank indebtedness.

 

Price risk

 

Price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market price (other than those arising from foreign currency risk and interest risk), whether those changes are caused by factors specific to the individual financial instrument or its issuers or factors affecting all similar financial instruments traded in the market. The most significant exposure to the price risk for the Company arises from its investments in shares and warrants of public companies quoted on the TSX Venture Exchange. If equity prices had increased or decreased by 25% as at June 30, 2023, with all other variables held constant, the Company’s investments would have increased or decreased respectively, by approximately $1,102,000 (December 31, 2022 - $1,841,484).

 

Liquidity risk

 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities that are settled by delivery of cash or another financial asset. The Company manages its liquidity risk by forecasting cash flows from operations and anticipating any investing and financing activities.

 

The following table summarizes the contractual amounts payable and maturities of financial liabilities and other liabilities at June 30, 2023:

 

       Total

1 Accounts payable and accrued liabilities exclude amounts which are not financial liabilities.

 

At June 30, 2023, the Company's Canadian subsidiary benefits from a line of credit of $500,000, of which $332,189 was drawn on this faculty. The Italian subsidiary previously benefited from a 400,000 Euros line of credit which was paid in full and extinguished in June 2023. The Canadian facility bears interest at a variable rate which is the bank’s prime rate plus 1%, therefore, 7.95%. There are no imposed financial covenants on the credit facilities.

 

Fair value of financial instruments

 

The fair value represents the amount that would be received for the sale of an asset or paid for the transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value estimates are calculated at a specific date taking into consideration assumptions regarding the amounts, the timing of estimated future cash flows and discount rates. Accordingly, due to its approximate and subjective nature, the fair value must not be interpreted as being realizable in an immediate settlement of the financial instruments.

There are three levels of fair value that reflect the significance of inputs used in determining fair values of financial instruments:

 

Level 1 — quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2 — inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).

 

Level 3 — inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

 

The fair values of cash, trade accounts receivable, other receivables, deposits, bank indebtedness, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying amounts due to their short-term maturities.

 

Investments in BGF and HPQ shares are valued at quoted market prices and are classified as Level 1.

 

Royalties receivable are discounted according to their corresponding agreements and are classified as Level 2.

 

Investments in HPQ warrants are valued using the Black-Scholes pricing model and are classified as Level 3 (Note 9).

 

The fair value of the term loans and the balance due on business combination as at June 30, 2023 is determined using the discounted future cash flows method and management's estimates for market interest rates for similar issuances. Accordingly, as a result, their fair market values correspond to their carrying amount. The term loans are classified as level 2 and the balance due on business combination as level 3.

 

The following table presents the variation of the balance due on business combination:

 

   $ 
Balance due on business combination at December 31, 2021 - Current and Non-Current   3,952,203 
Disbursement   (217,778)
Interest accretion   173,350 
Balance due on business combination at December 31, 2022 - Current and Non-Current   3,907,775

Interest accretion on and revaluation of balance due on business combination   (2,099,614)
Balance due on business combination at June 30, 2023 - Current and Non-Current   1,708,161 

 

20.Contingent liabilities

 

The Company is currently a party to various legal proceedings. If management believes that a loss arising from these proceedings is probable and can reasonably be estimated, that amount of the loss is recorded. As additional information becomes available, any potential liability related to these proceedings is assessed and the estimates are revised, if necessary. Based on currently available information, management believes that the ultimate outcome of these proceedings, individually and in aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or overall trends in results of operations.

 

The Company had received a government grant in prior years of approximately $800,000 to assist with the development of a new system of advanced waste treatment systems technology. The grant is potentially repayable at the rate of 3% of any consideration received as a result of the project, for which funding has been received, to a maximum of the actual grant received. This repayment provision will remain in effect until May 30, 2024. The Company abandoned the project in 2011 and accordingly, no amount is expected to be repaid.

21.Capital management

 

The Company’s objectives in managing capital are:

a)To ensure sufficient liquidity to support its current operations and execute its business plan; and
b)To provide adequate return to the shareholders

 

The Company’s primary objectives when managing capital is to ensure the Company continues as a going concern as well as to maintain optimal returns to shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders.

 

The Company currently funds these requirements from cash flows from operations and with financing arrangements with third parties and shareholders. The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.

 

The Company monitors its working capital in order to meet its financial obligations. On June 30, 2023, the Company’s working capital deficiency was $3,168,366 (working capital of $1,650,709 at December 31, 2022).

 

The management of capital includes shareholders’ equity for a total amount of $11,220,187 and term loans of $391,564 ($16,868,927 and $389,987 respectively at December 31, 2022), as well as cash amounting to $829,583 ($3,445,649 at December 31, 2022).

 

There were no significant changes in the Company’s approach during the current six-month period and preceding fiscal year, however, in order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may issue new shares, sell portions of its strategic investment and periodically purchase its own shares on the open market.
