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, 2025 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, 2024.

Except for new accounting standards and interpretations adopted on September 1, 2024 and further described in this note 2 below, the accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim condensed 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, 2024.

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements were authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors on July 11, 2025.

Going concern uncertainty

As at May 31, 2025, the Company has cash of $10,891,002 and working capital of $16,182,610. The Company has incurred recurring losses, has not yet achieved profitable operations and has a deficit of $77,954,294 since its inception. The cash flows from operations were negative for the three years ended August 31, 2024 as well as for the current nine-month period ended May 31, 2025. 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, 2025, the Company was able to raise net proceeds from issuance of common shares and warrants, of $27,145,659. 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, 2025 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.

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.

Details of the Company’s significant subsidiaries at the end of the reporting period are set out below.

​

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

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., NVG Holdings 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:

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 2024 annual financial statements.

Reverse stock splits

On August 22, 2024, the Company implemented a reverse stock split, consolidating every 15 Voting Common Shares into 1 Voting Common Share. On October 8, 2024, the Company implemented a second reverse stock split, consolidating every 9 Voting Common Shares into 1 Voting Common Share. On March 31, 2025, the Company implemented a third reverse stock split, consolidating every 10 Voting Common Shares into 1 Voting Common Share. In accordance with IFRS, all references to common shares, Pre-Funded Warrants, Series A and B Convertible Preferred Shares, warrants and options have been adjusted to reflect these reverse stock splits. Comparative references to the above have also been adjusted to reflect the three reverse stock splits.

New accounting standards and interpretations

Effective as of September 1, 2024

Amendments to IAS 1 – Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current and Non-current Liabilities with Covenants

For the Company, the amendments became effective as of September 1, 2024, resulting in the reclassification of the Company’s derivative liabilities from long-term to current liabilities as described below. Comparative figures have also been adjusted to comply with the required retrospective application

Prior to the effective date of these amendments, the Company classified all of its derivative liabilities as long-term. See note 13 for details of the Company’s derivative liabilities. The Company’s derivative liabilities consist of the following instruments:

As a result of the amendments to IAS 1, the derivative liabilities associated with the warrants issued to both the common shareholders and the Series B Convertible Preferred shareholders will continue to be classified as long-term liabilities because expiry dates for these instruments are more than 12 months after both period-ends presented, namely May 31, 2025 and August 31, 2024. However, the derivative liabilities associated with the Series A and B Convertible Preferred Shares are required to be reclassified from long-term to current as a result of these amendments since the forced conversion date for these instruments is less than 12 months after both period-ends presented, namely May 31, 2025 and August 31, 2024. For the Series A Convertible Preferred Shares, the forced conversion date was December 21, 2024 while the forced conversion date for the Series B Convertible Preferred Shares was January 17, 2025.

The following table provides a reconciliation of the effect of the adoption of the amendments to IAS 1 on the current and non-current portion of the derivative liabilities as at May 31, 2025:

Standards and interpretations not yet effective

Amendments to IAS 21 - Effect of variations in exchange rates - Lack of interchangeability

In August 2023, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 21 The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates to specify how an entity should assess whether a currency is exchangeable and how it should determine a spot exchange rate when exchangeability is lacking. The amendments also require disclosure of information that enables users of its financial statements to understand how the currency not being exchangeable into the other currency affects, or is expected to affect, the entity’s financial performance, financial position and cash flows. The amendments will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2025. Early adoption is permitted but will need to be disclosed. When applying the amendments, an entity cannot restate comparative information. The amendments are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements

In April 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18, which replaces IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements. IFRS 18 introduces new requirements for presentation within the statement of profit or loss, including specified totals and subtotals. Furthermore, entities are required to classify all income and expenses within the statement of profit or loss into one of five categories: operating, investing, financing, income taxes and discontinued operations, whereof the first three are new. IFRS 18 also requires disclosure of newly defined management-defined performance measures, subtotals of income and expenses, and includes new requirements for aggregation and disaggregation of financial information based on the identified ‘roles’ of the primary financial statements and the notes. In addition, narrow-scope amendments have been made to IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows, which include changing the starting point for determining cash flows from operations under the indirect method, from ‘profit or loss’ to ‘operating profit or loss’ and removing the optionality around classification of cash flows from dividends and interest. In addition, there are consequential amendments to several other standards. IFRS 18, and the amendments to the other standards, are effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027, but earlier application is permitted and must be disclosed. IFRS 18 will apply retrospectively. The Company is currently working to identify all impacts that the amendments will have on the primary financial statements and notes to the financial statements.
