During the year ended August 31, 2025, the Company acquired NVG which resulted in the recognition of the subsidiary’s brand name as an intangible asset valued at $270,448.

During the nine-month period ended May 31, 2026, the Company completed four patent applications for a cash consideration of $95,644. During the year ended August 31, 2025, the Company completed seven patent applications for a cash consideration of $99,407.

During the year ended August 31, 2025, the Company identified indicators of impairment relating to the intellectual property (“IP”) associated with its E-Motion™ Electric Powertrain System. The impairment is primarily due to the limited historical revenues generated from this technology and updated cash flow projections. In accordance with IAS 36, Impairment of Assets, the Company estimated the recoverable amount of the IP as the higher of value-in-use and fair value less costs of disposal. In addition, the Company performed a calculation of the recoverable amount using an income approach under the relief-from-royalty method. Based on this analysis, the recoverable amount of the IP was determined to be $25,057, compared to a carrying amount of $411,690, resulting in the recognition of an impairment loss of $380,457 during the year.
