1. | Nature of Operations |
Pacific Green Technologies Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the state of Delaware, USA on March 10, 1994, under the name of Beta Acquisition Corp. In September 1995, the Company changed its name to In-Sports International, Inc. In August 2002, the Company changed its name to ECash, Inc. On June 13, 2012, the Company changed its name to Pacific Green Technologies Inc. The Company is in the business of acquiring, developing, and marketing environmental technologies, with a focus on emission control technologies. On December 20, 2019, the Company acquired Shanghai Engin Digital Technology, a company incorporated and registered in China (“ENGIN”).

The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (US GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported.

2. | Significant Accounting Policies (continued) |
(b) | Recently adopted accounting pronouncements |
In February 2016, the FASB issued new lease accounting guidance in ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases”. This new guidance eliminates the concept of off-balance sheet treatment for “operating leases” for lessees for the vast majority of lease contracts. Under ASU No. 2016-02, at inception, a lessee must classify all leases with a term of over one year as either finance or operating, with both classifications resulting in the recognition of a defined “right-of-use” asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet. However, recognition in the income statement will differ depending on the lease classification, with finance leases recognizing the amortization of the right-of-use asset separate from the interest on the lease liability and operating leases recognizing a single total lease expense. Lessor accounting under ASU No. 2016-02 would be substantially unchanged from the previous lease requirements under GAAP. ASU No. 2016-02 was in effect for public companies in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Accordingly, the Company’s adopted the new guidance as of April 1, 2019.
The Company elected to apply the package of practical expedients which allows entities not to reassess its previous conclusions about lease identification, lease classification, and initial direct costs. The Company elected not to use hindsight to determine lease terms and to not separate non-lease components from the associated lease component. The Company had no operating leases that were adjusted upon transition. The Company commenced a new operating lease on premises on April 1, 2019 and recognized a right-of-use asset of $1,526,801 and a lease liability of $1,486,605 as of April 1, 2019. The adoption of the new lease standard did not materially impact the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss) or the consolidated statement of cash flows. During this quarter, the right of use asset and lease liability recognized on adoption were amended for new information concerning the security deposit arrangement made with the landlord. The amendment has not resulted in a significant impact on our previously reported quarterly or annual financial information. For additional disclosure and detail, see note 8 below.
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its consolidated financial statements and management does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
(c) | Prior period adjustment: |
On July 2, 2019, the Company received $135,454 from a shareholder for the disgorgement of profits realized on stock transactions in violation of section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Act”). In the interim consolidated financial statements at September 30, 2019 the Company had included this amount as an offset to office and miscellaneous expenses rather than presenting it as an adjustment to additional paid-in capital. Therefore, these amounts have been adjusted in the interim consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended December 31, 2019. An increase has been recorded to Office and miscellaneous expense, a decrease in net income and comprehensive income for the nine months ended December 31, 2019, an increase in additional paid-in capital at September 30, 2019 and a decrease in cash flow from operating activities and offsetting increase in financing activities for the nine months ended December 31, 2019.
3. | Short-term Investments and amounts in escrow |

4. | Lease Receivable |
On December 12, 2017, the Company completed the sale of a constructed ENVI-Marine scrubber system under an energy management lease arrangement. The Company’s lease receivable as at December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2019, consists of an amount due from the customer under a long-term lease arrangement.
The payments to the Company under the lease arrangement are calculated under a cost savings model. During March 2019, the Company and lessee have agreed to a revised payment schedule based on a quarterly payment of $118,000 per quarter through fiscal 2022 in place of the cost saving model. The current portion presented below reflects the minimum expected payments per the lease arrangement for the next twelve months.
At the completion of the minimum required lease payments, the title of the asset transfers to the customer. No amount has been allocated to residual value. Moreover, there are no other variable amounts involved in this lease arrangement.

7. | Acquisition of Shanghai Engin Technology Co. Ltd. |
On December 20, 2019, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Shanghai Engin Digital Technology Ltd. a solar design, development and engineering company and its subsidiary. Engin’s expertise in solar technologies provides the Company another green technology to market and develop internationally along side our manufacturing. The acquisition was concluded concurrently with two groups. The first purchase of the 75% interest was acquired for consideration of $5,863,006 (¥41,000,000) upon signing (paid), plus a further $2,142,857 (¥15,000,000) due by March 20, 2020 and a final conditional payment of $2,857,143 (¥20,000,000) by June 30, 2020. The remaining 25% interest was acquired for consideration of 125,000 new shares of the Company (issued after year end), plus a further conditional $285,714 (¥2,000,000) payable by June 30, 2020. The final payments under both agreements are conditional upon the successful testing of a project, which is to be concluded by June 30, 2020.
Total purchase consideration is estimated at $11,421,778, inclusive of the fair value of the conditional payments which have been accrued as the Company believes that the conditions will be met. The 125,000 shares in the Company have been estimated to have a fair value of $368,750 or $2.95 per share at closing, based on the most recent trade.
The results of operations of the acquired business and the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements with effect from the date of the acquisition. The purchase consideration has been preliminary applied to Cash $2,063,358, other net working capital of Engin of $1,024,147, property and equipment $1,283,699, and intangible assets of $611,683. The residual value of consideration after applying it to the carrying values of assets and liabilities acquired and fair value adjustments, resulted in a goodwill valuation of $6,438,923.
The fair value of the property and equipment, acquired intangible assets and goodwill at December 31, 2019, is provisional pending receipt of the final valuation report for those assets from a third party valuation expert. When determined, it may result in the recognition of additional assets and liabilities as of the acquisition date. The measurement period will not exceed one year from the acquisition date.
Transaction costs, consisting primarily of legal and translation charges, were expensed as incurred. Due to the closing date of the acquisition just prior to the Company’s financial reporting period, we have been unable to gather reliable financial information for the acquired companies to present the proforma disclosures of combined revenues, gross profits and net income from operations of the Company and the acquired businesses in accordance with US GAAP. These disclosures will be prepared as part of the year end financial statements. The goodwill paid as part of the acquisition is expected to be tax deductible.

8. | Leases |
The Company’s subsidiaries have entered into three long-term operating leases for office premises in London, United Kingdom, Lysaker, Norway and North Vancouver, Canada. These lease assets are categorized as right of use assets under ASU No. 2016-02.
Long-term premises lease | Lease commencement | Lease expiry | Term (years) | Discount rate* | ||||||||
London, United Kingdom | April 1, 2019 | December 25, 2023 | 4.75 | 4.50 | % | |||||||
Lysaker, Norway | October 1, 2019 | September 30, 2024 | 5.00 | 4.50 | % | |||||||
North Vancouver, Canada | December 1, 2019 | August 31, 2022 | 2.75 | 4.50 | % |
* | The Company determined the discount rate with reference to mortgages of similar tenure and terms. |
Operating lease assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at the commencement date. As the Company’s operating lease does not provide an implicit rate, the discount rate used to determine the present value of the lease payments is the collateralized incremental borrowing rate based on the remaining lease term. The operating lease asset excludes lease incentives. The operating leases do not contain an option to extend or terminate the lease term at the Company’s discretion, therefore no probable renewal has been added to the expiry date when determining lease term. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Lease cost – for the nine months ended December 31, 2019: | ||||
Operating lease expense * | $ | 302,131 |

9. | Sales, Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities |
The Company has analyzed its sales contracts under ASC 606 and has identified performance conditions that are not directly correlated with contractual payment terms with customer. As a result of the timing differences between customer payments and satisfaction of performance conditions, contractual assets and contractual liabilities have been recognized.
Contracts are tailored to meet each customer’s unique requirements. However, the Company’s performance obligations can generally be identified as:
● | Specified service works |
● | Certified design and engineering works |
● | Equipment delivery and acceptance |
● | Installation and commissioning |

11. | Convertible Debenture |
On November 10, 2015, the Company entered into a $110,000 convertible debenture with a non-related party, in exchange for $100,000, net of $10,000 for legal fees which was deferred and amortized over the term of the debenture. Under the terms of the debenture, the amount is unsecured, bears guaranteed interest at 10% and default interest at 20% per annum and was due on November 10, 2016. The note remained unpaid and outstanding at maturity. The note is convertible into shares of common stock of the Company equal to the lower of: (a) $0.40 or (b) 60% of the lowest trading price of the Company’s common stock during the 20 consecutive trading days prior to the date of conversion.
The Company analyzed the conversion option under ASC 815, and determined that the conversion feature should be classified as a liability and recorded at fair value due to there being no explicit limit to the number of shares to be delivered upon settlement of the conversion option. On February 22, 2017, the Company issued 50,000 shares of common stock for the conversion of $20,000 of this debenture. On September 19, 2017, the Company issued 100,000 shares of common stock for the conversion of $20,000 of this debenture. On October 4, 2017, the Company issued 320,000 shares of common stock for the conversion of $40,000 of this debenture. As at December 31, 2019, the carrying value of the debenture was $30,000 (March 31, 2019 - $30,000) and the fair value of the derivative liability was $445,473 (March 31, 2019 - $431,586) as further discussed in Note 12.
Interest expense on the debenture for the three and nine month periods ended December 31, 2019 was recorded as $1,500 (December 31, 2018 - $1,500) and $4,500 (December 31, 2018 - $4,500), respectively.
12. | Derivative Liability |
The Company records the fair value of the conversion feature of the convertible debenture disclosed in Note 11 in accordance with ASC 815. The fair value of the derivative liability was calculated using a binomial option pricing model. The fair value of the derivative liability is revalued on each balance sheet date with corresponding gains and losses recorded in the consolidated statement of operations. During the three and nine-month periods ended December 31, 2019, the Company recorded a gain (loss) on the change in fair value of derivative liability of $57,520, and ($13,887) (December 31, 2018- ($118,236) and ($299,102)). As at December 31, 2019, the Company recorded a derivative liability of $445,473 (March 31, 2019 - $431,586).

Strategy
The Company is the proprietary owner of emission control technologies with three distinct applications:
● | ENVI-Marine™, for the marine industry; |
● | ENVI-Pure™, for the waste to energy and biomass industries; and |
● | ENVI-Clean™, designed for coal fired power electricity generation and industrial plants involved in steel generation. |
The first of the Company’s technologies to gain significant traction has been ENVI-Marine™. During the year ended March 31, 2019, the Company secured an order book for its ENVI-Marine™ technology of approximately $180,000,000. During the nine months ended December 31, 2019, the Company has added approximately $33,000,000 in additional sale agreements to be delivered in future periods.
The Company has been proactively seeking the acquisition and development of other technologies designed to improve the environment. On December 20, 2019, the Company closed the acquisition of Shanghai Engin Digital Technology Ltd.(Engin) a solar design, development and engineering company and its subsidiary. ENGIN is a design and engineering business focused primarily on Concentrated Solar Power (“CSP”), desalination and waste to energy technologies. ENGIN has a number of reference plants in China. The purpose of the acquisition is to build a portfolio of technologies designed to improve the environment.
ENVI-MarineTM
Our marine division has been driving the Company’s rapid growth, with recruiting at all levels and departments to deliver its significant order book to clients and continues to work closely and strengthen ties with its partner PowerChina SPEM.
During the course of the last 9 months the Company has recruited a new sales and marketing team based in Oslo, Norway, to professionalize and streamline its approach. The new team has initiated a standardized and analytical process to target new customers in the marine sector.
In terms of orders and contracts during the period:
● | on July 5, 2019, the Company announced the exercise of an option granted to two customers for an additional 25 ENVI marine units on designated vessels for delivery in 2020; |
● | on July 11, 2019, Scorpio Tankers Inc. ordered a further 14 ENVI-Marine™ systems for vessels it owns or manages for delivery in 2020, at a combined cost of $20.3 million; and |
● | on July 11, 2019, Scorpio Bulkers Inc. ordered a further 9 ENVI-Marine™ systems for vessels it owns or manages for delivery in 2020, at a combined cost of $13.0 million. |
ENVI-PureTM
Increasing legislation relating to landfill of municipal solid waste has led to the emergence of increasing numbers of waste to energy plants (“WtE”). A WtE plant obviates the need for landfill, burning municipal waste for conversion to electricity. A WtE plant is typically 45-100MW. The ENVI-Pure™ system is particularly suited to WtE as it cleans multiple pollutants in a single system. The Company has successfully tested its ENVI-Pure™ technology at a WtE plant in Edmonton, England, United Kingdom, and is in discussions regarding the installation of its technologies at WtE facilities in China.
3
ENVI-CleanTM
EnviroTechnologies Inc. has previously conducted successful sulphur dioxide demonstration tests at the American Bituminous Coal Partners power plant in Grant Town, West Virginia.
The testing achieved a three test average of 99.3% removal efficiency. The implementation of US Clean Air regulations in July 2010 has created additional demand for sulphur dioxide removal in all industries emitting sulphur pollution. Furthermore, China consumes approximately one half of the world’s coal, but introduced measures designed to reduce energy and carbon intensity in its 12th Five Year Plan. Applications include regional power facilities and heating for commercial buildings and greenhouses. Typical applications range in size from 1 to 20 megawatts (MW) with power generation occupying the larger end of the range.
Following the signing of a joint venture agreement with Power China SPEM, an ENVI-Clean™ was sold to a steelworks company in Yancheng to remove SO2 from its 93MW gas combustion powerplant.
The ENVI-Clean™ system removes most of the sulphur dioxide, particulate matter, greenhouse gases and other hazardous air pollutants from the flue gases produced by the combustion of coal, biomass, municipal solid waste, diesel and other fuels.
Other significant transactions for the period

On December 20, 2019, the Company completed the acquisition of ENGIN a development, design and engineering company focused primarily on Concentrated Solar Power (“CSP”), Salt Water Desalination and Waste to Energy technologies. Consideration for the acquisition of 100% of Engin was determined to be a maximum of $11,148,720 (¥78,000,000) and 125,000 shares of common stock. A number of the future payments, are conditional on the successful performance testing of a plant scheduled for April/May 2020. ENGIN has developed, designed and engineered three utility scale CSP operating reference plants in China and has a Desalination reference plant in Indonesia:
● | Dunhuang 100MW Molten Salt Tower CSP Plant; |
● | CGN Delingha 50MW Parabolic Trough CSP Plant; and |
● | Dunhuang 10MW Molten Salt Tower CSP Plant. |
The Company is excited to expand on its portfolio of environmental technologies for future growth and regards CSP as a market for substantial growth. In 2008 CSP accounted for just 0.5GW of world electricity generation rising to 5.5GW in 2018. With the acquisition of ENGIN and its subsidiary, the Company and vendor have also agreed to form an International Strategic Alliance Agreement between us, the vendor and PowerChina for the development of CSP plants whereby we and ENGIN provide the intellectual property (the technical know-how, design and engineering, Shouhang provides manufacturing of the solar field and molten salt tank services and PowerChina provides the EPC role both in China and international markets.
On January 20th, 2020, Richard Fraser-Smith was appointed the Company’s new Chief Financial Officer.

Liquidity
The low trading volume of our common stock on the OTCQB means that any purchases or sales of our common stock can have a significant impact on our market value. Given the recent growth in the Company’s business, the Company has considered ways to improve the market liquidity of its common stock, and has decided upon an uplisting of common stock on the NASDAQ Stock Market. We believe that a stock exchange listing can improve the secondary market liquidity of our common stock and help reduce the market price distortions that can be caused by illiquidity. We also believe that a stock exchange listing may allow us to raise additional capital from investors (including institutions), which could be used for acquisitions and future land based projects. A stock exchange listing may also allow us to enhance the use of our common stock as consideration in acquisitions.

Increases in the Company’s ability to deliver units, meeting customer timelines and securing shipyards for installations has resulted in significant recognition of revenues and gross profit over the nine month period.
6
Expenses for the nine month period ended December 31, 2019 were $30,945,123 as compared to $9,809,766 for the nine month period ended December 31, 2018 as the Company continued to grow its management, sales and operations teams in order to deliver on the significant order book. Management and technical consulting fees increased significantly and were comprised of fees paid to third parties for business development efforts, advisory services, as well as amounts paid to the directors of the Company. There were significant increases to advertising as promotional events and conferences were attended, professional fees for contract and acquisition work, and office based costs, alongside significant numbers of new employees and related travel costs.

For the nine month period, the Company recorded a warranty provision of $2,711,213 related to the estimated expectation of warranty costs.
Expenses for the three month period ended December 31, 2019 were $12,571,961 as compared to $7,417,583 for the three month period ended December 31, 2018 as the Company continued to grow its management, sales and operations teams in order to deliver on the significant order book. Management and technical consulting fees increased significantly and were comprised of fees paid to third parties for business development efforts, advisory services, as well as amounts paid to the directors of the Company. There were significant increases to advertising, professional and office based costs, alongside salary and travel costs. The Company opened offices in various international locations and has continued hiring. Additionally, the delivery of units has resulted in a warranty provision being recorded for possible maintenance and claim issues within a prescribed period, normally not exceeding 12 months. For the three month period, the Company recorded a warranty provision of $1,356,422 related to the estimated expectation of warranty costs.
Management’s forecasts for operating income of future periods is subject to significant uncertainty as a result of rapid personnel growth and uncertainty in operating costs.

These estimates may change significantly depending on the nature of our business activities and our ability to raise capital from our shareholders or other sources.
We currently have office locations in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, China and Norway. We have hired staff in various regions and rely heavily upon the use of consultants. Our general and administrative expenses for the year will consist primarily of technical consultants, management, salaraies and wages, professional fees, transfer agent fees, bank and interest charges and general office expenses. The professional fees have grown significantly and relate to matters such as contract review, business acquisitions, regulatory filings, patent maintenance, and general legal, accounting and auditing fees.
Should we require additional funding over the next twelve months, we would intend to raise new cash requirements from private placements, shareholder loans or possibly a registered public offering (either self-underwritten or through a broker-dealer). If we are unsuccessful in raising enough money through such efforts, we may review other financing possibilities such as bank loans. At this time we do not have a commitment from any broker-dealer to provide us with financing. There is no assurance that any financing will be available to us or if available, on terms that will be acceptable to us.
As of December 31, 2019, we had $15,792,046 cash on hand and anticipate significant cash inflows over the next three months as we deliver manufactured goods for installation. Our anticipated profits realized from sales of ENVI marine units are expected to fund our planned expenditure levels. Based on cash resources available, we are scaling up our business development and operational personnel more quickly to meet the demand from ship owners for our product and service offerings. After careful consideration we believe current operations, anticipated deliveries and expected profit from such deliveries to be sufficient to cover expected cash operating expenses over the next 12 months.
Going Concern
Our financial statements for the quarter ended December 31, 2019 have been prepared on a going concern basis.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to stockholders.
Contractual Obligations
As a “smaller reporting company”, we are not required to provide tabular disclosure obligations.

Critical Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Our company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to the purchase price allocation to assests and intangibles of ENGIN, useful life and recoverability of property and equipment and intangible assets, collectability of lease receivable, fair values of convertible debentures and derivative liabilities, fair value of stock-based compensation, warranty estimates and deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. Our company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by our company may differ materially and adversely from our company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and are comprised of patents. On December 20, 2019, the Company acquired ENGIN and has provided initial estimates for the valuation of intangible assets acquired. The Company is in the process of having valuations performed on the intangible assets by an appropriate specialist. The historical patents are amortized straight-line over the estimated useful life of 17 years and reviewed annually for impairment.
Impairment of Long-lived Assets
Our company reviews long-lived assets such as property and equipment and intangible assets with finite useful lives for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstance indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If the total of the expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, a loss is recognized for the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the asset.

Revenue Recognition
The Company derives revenue from the sale of emission control equipment and related services.
Revenue is recognized when control of products or services is transferred to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those promised products or services.
The Company determines revenue recognition through the following five steps:
● | identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer; |
● | identification of the performance obligations in the contract; |
● | determination of the transaction price; |
● | allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and |
● | recognition of revenue when, or as, performance obligations are satisfied. |
The Company accounts for a contract when it has approval and commitment from both parties, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance and collectability of consideration is probable. The Company reserves a warranty provision between 2.5% and 5% on the completion of a contract following the final payment, there being a number of milestone based stage payments.
Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements
ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC 820 prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1
Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2
Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.
Level 3
Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
Our company’s financial instruments consist principally of cash, amounts receivable, lease receivable, amounts due from and to related parties, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, loan payable, convertible debenture, and note payable. With the exception of long-term note payable, the recorded values of all other financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective maturity dates or durations.

The following table represents assets and liabilities that are measured and recognized at fair value as of December 31, 2019, on a recurring basis:

Stock-based compensation
The Company records share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from employees and nonemployees in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, using the fair value method. All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are measured at grant-date fair value of the equity instruments issued.
The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the fair value of stock-based awards. This model is affected by the Company’s stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of subjective variables. These subjective variables include, but are not limited to the Company’s expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, and actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense in the consolidated statement of operations over the requisite service period. The majority of the Company’s awards vest upon issuance.
Contract Liabilities and Contract Assets
Contractual arrangements with customers for the sale of a scrubber unit generally provide for deposits and installments through the procurement and design phases of equipment manufacturing. Amounts received from customers, which are not yet recorded as revenues under the Company’s revenue recognition policy are presented as contract liabilities.
Similarly, contractual arrangements with suppliers and manufacturers normally involved with the manufacturing of scrubber units may require advances and deposits at various stages of the manufacturing process. Payments to our manufacturing partners are recorded as contract assets until the equipment is manufactured to specifications and accepted by the customer.
Subsequent to the adoption of ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), the Company presents the contract liabilities and contract assets on its balance sheet when one of the parties to the revenue contract has performed before the other.
Warranty Provision
The Company provides for the estimated costs of warranties at the time revenue is recognized.The specific terms and conditions of those warranties vary depending upon the product sold, nature of the installation and geography of sale. The Company’s product warranties generally start from the delivery date and continue for up to twelve months. The Company normally has underlying manufacturing guarantees from suppliers. Factors that affect the Company’s warranty obligation include product failure rates, anticipated hours of product operations and costs of repair or replacement in correcting product failures. These factors are estimates that may change based on new information that becomes available each period, including where customizations may be made on similar classes of vessel. Similarly, the Company also accrues the estimated costs to address reliability repairs on products no longer in warranty when, in the Company’s judgment, and in accordance with a specific plan developed by the Company, it is prudent to provide such repairs. The Company intends to assesses the adequacy of recorded warranty liabilities quarterly and makes adjustments to the liability as necessary.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). On April 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers and all the related amendments (“new revenue standard”) to all contracts using the modified retrospective method. This new standard introduced a new five-step revenue recognition model to determine how an entity should recognize revenue related to the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the entity is entitled to receive for those goods or services. Prior to adoption, the Company had only recognized revenue under a single sales-type lease arrangement and, as a result, the impact to revenues for the year ended March 31, 2018 as a result of applying Topic 606 was immaterial. The majority of revenue continues to be recognized when products are shipped or delivered to customers.
In February 2016, the FASB issued new lease accounting guidance in ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases”. This new guidance was initiated as a joint project with the International Accounting Standards Board to simplify lease accounting and improve the quality of and comparability of financial information for users. This new guidance would eliminate the concept of off-balance sheet treatment for “operating leases” for lessees for the vast majority of lease contracts. Under ASU No. 2016-02, at inception, a lessee must classify all leases with a term of over one year as either finance or operating, with both classifications resulting in the recognition of a defined “right-of-use” asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet. However, recognition in the income statement will differ depending on the lease classification, with finance leases recognizing the amortization of the right-of-use asset separate from the interest on the lease liability and operating leases recognizing a single total lease expense. Lessor accounting under ASU No. 2016-02 is substantially unchanged from the previous lease requirements under US GAAP. ASU No. 2016-02 became effective for public companies with fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Accordingly, the Company’s adopted the new guidance as of April 1, 2019.
The Company elected to apply the package of practical expedients which allows entities not to reassess its previous conclusions about lease identification, lease classification, and initial direct costs. The Company elected not to use hindsight to determine lease terms and to not separate non-lease components from the associated lease component. The Company had no operating leases that were adjusted for upon transition. The Company commenced a new operating lease on premises on April 1, 2019 and recognized a right-of-use asset of $1,526,801 and a lease liability of $1,486,605 as of April 1, 2019. The adoption of the new lease standard did not materially impact the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss) or the consolidated statement of cash flows. During this quarter, the right of use asset and lease liability recognized on adoption were amended for new information concerning the security deposit arrangement made with the landlord. The amendement has not resulted in a significant impact on our previously reported quarterly or annual financial information. The adoption of the new lease standard did not materially impact the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss or the consolidated statement of cash flows.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our president (our principal executive officer) and chief financial officer (principal financial officer and principal accounting officer), as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
13
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our president (our principal executive officer) and chief financial officer (principal financial officer and principal accounting officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2019. Based on the evaluation of these disclosure controls and procedures, and in light of the material weaknesses found in our internal controls over financial reporting, our president (our principal executive officer) and chief financial officer (principal financial officer and principal accounting officer) concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Our company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our president (our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer), our company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019 using the criteria established in “Internal Control - Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”).
A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. In its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019, our company determined that there were control deficiencies that constituted material weaknesses, as described below.
● | We do not have an Audit Committee – While not being legally obligated to have an audit committee, it is the management’s view that such a committee, including a financial expert member, is an utmost important entity level control over our company’s financial statements. Currently the board of directors acts in the capacity of the audit committee, and does not include a member that is considered to be independent of management to provide the necessary oversight over management’s activities. | |
● | We require additional accounting personnel – The Company has signed over one hundred contracts in the financial year ended March 31 2019 for a combined value of approximately USD$180 million. The growth of corporate controls, processes and procedures have lagged behind that of operations, leading to a number of classification and quantification matters identified during the audit for the year ended March 31 2019. The Company is in the process of recruiting additional accounting personnel to achieve due segregation of duties and to undertake regular and thorough reviews of all accounting entries. During the current financial year, we will work with our advisors to improve our accounting processes and identify areas for improvement in our financial reporting controls. |
As a result of the material weaknesses described above, management has concluded that our company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019 based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by COSO.
14
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with our evaluation we conducted of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019, that occurred during the fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
This quarterly report does not include an attestation report of our company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit our company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
Continuing Remediation Efforts to address deficiencies in Company’s Internal Control over Financial Reporting
When the Company has sufficient personnel available, then our board of directors, in particular and in connection with the aforementioned deficiencies, will establish the following remediation measures:
● | We will attempt to increase the amount of members on our board of directors and nominate an audit committee or a financial expert in the next fiscal year, 2019-2020. | |
● | We will appoint additional personnel to assist with the preparation of our company’s monthly and quarterly financial reporting. |
15
We know of no material, existing or pending legal proceedings against our company, nor are we involved as a plaintiff in any material proceeding or pending litigation. There are no proceedings in which any of our directors, officers or affiliates, or any registered beneficial shareholder, is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to our interest.
As a “smaller reporting company” we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.
