2. | Significant Accounting Policies (continued) |
(b) | Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses. The ASU sets forth a “current expected credit loss” (CECL) model which requires the Company to measure all expected credit losses for financial instruments held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable supportable forecasts. This replaces the existing incurred loss model and is applicable to the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost and applies to some off-balance sheet credit exposures. As a smaller reporting company, this ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after January 1, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company calculated an effect of $28,000 upon adoption of this guidance on April 1, 2023. Given the immaterial nature of the effect, the adoption was booked as an expense in the current period statement of income rather than a cumulative effect through retained earnings.
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.
3. | Short-term Investments and amounts in escrow |
At June 30, 2023, the Company has $
(March 31, 2023 - $56,483) Guaranteed Investment Certificate (“GIC”) held as security against a corporate credit card. The GIC bore interest at 0.5% per annum and matures on December 13, 2023. The account was closed on May 30, 2023.

7. | Acquisition of Sheaf Energy Ltd. |
(a) | Acquisition of Sheaf Energy Ltd |
On December 6, 2022, the Company acquired all the issued and outstanding stock of Sheaf Energy Ltd., a United Kingdom company in the business of battery energy storage systems. The purchase consideration included cash payments of a deposit of $415,855 (£373,500) made on July 26, 2021 and $8,710,145 (£7,126,500) made on December 15, 2022.
Total purchase consideration was therefore $9,126,000 (£7,500,000). The value attributed to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed are net working capital of $0, and project under development of $9,126,000 (£7,500,000).
(b) | Potential sale of Sheaf Energy Ltd. |
On January 26, 2023, the Company entered into an agreement with Jones Lang LaSalle Limited (“JLL”) for JLL to act as a broker for the sale of the 249MW Battery Storage Project within Sheaf Energy Limited.
As at June 30, 2023 the Company was in an exclusive negotiation with a potential buyer of Sheaf Energy Limited.
8. | Disposal of Subsidiaries (REP & PGBEP1) |
On June 9, 2023, PGES (UK), a subsidiary of the Company, entered into a sale and purchase agreement (“SPA”), jointly with Green Power Reserves Ltd. (“GPR”) with Sosteneo Fund 1 Holdco Sarl (“Buyer”) to sell the shares of PGBEP 1 to the Buyer. PGBEP 1 is 50% owned by PGES (UK) as a controlling interest subsidiary, while GPR owns the remaining 50% nonredeemable noncontrolling interest. The disposal became unconditional on June 26, 2023.
The purchase price paid by the Buyer to PGES (UK) and GPR consisted of £29.9 million ($37.4 million) in initial consideration and an additional £15.1 million ($18.9 million) in performance milestone payments upon successful completion and operations of the BESS projects. The Company does not have a history of completing these types of BESS projects and does not have the information needed to reasonably estimate whether or not performance milestones will be met, accordingly any gain related to these milestone payments will be recorded in the period the consideration is determined to be realizable.
As a result of the sale, the Company recognized a net gain on disposal of $12.1million during the quarter ended June 30, 2023. The sale of PGBEP 1 did not represent a strategic shift that would have a major effect on the Company’s operations or financial results, therefore PGBEP 1 is not presented as a discontinued operation. The net income of PGBEP 1 is included in the consolidated statement of operations through the June 26, 2023, disposal date. The assets, liabilities and equity (including non-controlling interest) of PGBEP 1 were deconsolidated effective June 26, 2023.

In addition to the derecognition of the balances sold and recognition of the gain on sale of subsidiary, as discussed above, the SPA also includes certain contingent assets and liabilities which have not been recorded in the statement of financial position due to their remote nature. Contingent assets of £15.1 million ($18.9 million) relate to performance milestone payments as discussed above. Contingent liabilities relate to potential liquidated damages for each day that REP 1 and REP 2 are late in achieving energization target dates. The daily amounts are £12,500 ($15,650) and £ 7,500 ($9,390) for REP 1 and REP 2 respectively, up to a maximum of £7.7 million ($9.6 million). Management have noted that liquidated damages under the SPA have been invoked, effective from August 1, 2023 as disclosed in Note 21(b).

19. | Commitments |
(a) | The Company’s subsidiaries have entered into two long-term operating leases for office premises in London, United Kingdom and Shanghai, China. 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 | 3.75 | 4.50 | % | |||||||
Shanghai, China | March 1, 2020 | May 31, 2025 | 5.25 | 4.65 | % |
* | 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 three months are summarized as follows:
June 30, 2023 $ | June 30 2022 $ | |||||||
Operating lease expense * | 123,923 | 109,737 |
* | Including right of use amortization and imputed interest. Lease payments include maintenance, operating expense, and tax. |
The Company has entered into premises lease agreements with minimum annual lease payments expected over the next five fiscal years of the lease as follows: |
$ | ||||
2024 | 37,352 | |||
2025 | 45,577 | |||

20. | Income Taxes |
The majority of our revenues from international sales are invoiced from and collected by our U.S. entity and recognized as a component of income before taxes in the United States as opposed to a foreign jurisdiction. The components of income before income taxes by U.S. and foreign jurisdictions were as follows:
June 30, 2023 $ | June 30, 2022 $ | |||||||
United States | (5,539,280 | ) | (2,113,373 | |||||
Foreign | 8,502,065 | (1,010,033 | ) | |||||
Net loss before taxes | 2,962,785 | (3,123,406 | ) |
The following table reconciles the income tax expense (benefit) at the statutory rates to the income tax (benefit) at the Company’s effective tax rate.
June 30, 2023 $ | June 30 2022 $ | |||||||
Net income (loss) before taxes | 2,962,785 | (3,123,406 | ) | |||||

Income tax provision |
At June 30, 2023, the Company is current with statutory corporate income tax filings. Certain of the amounts presented above are based on estimates and what management believes are prudent filing positions. The actual losses available could differ from these estimates upon assessment and review by taxation authorities. U.S. federal and state income tax returns filed by us remain subject to examination for income tax years 2013 and subsequent. Canadian federal and provincial income tax returns filed by us remain subject to examination for income tax years 2018 and subsequent. Income tax returns associated with our operations located in the United Kingdom and China are subject to examination for income tax years 2017 and subsequent.
Tax positions are evaluated for recognition using a more-likely than-not recognition threshold, and those tax positions eligible for recognition are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon the effective settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information.
The Company estimates that it has accumulated estimated net operating losses of approximately $18.9 million which were incurred mainly in the U.S, and which don’t begin to expire until 2033. In addition, the Company estimates that it has approximately $7.5 million in losses available in the United Kingdom. Historical losses in the U.S., are subject to limitations on use due to deemed changes in control for tax purposes. This impacts the timing and opportunity to use certain losses.
21. | Subsequent events |
(a) | On July 3, 2023, the board of directors approved a performance-related bonus for Scott Poulter, Chief Executive Officer, which comprises 2,250,000 shares in the Company which are issuable immediately and $2,567,200 (£2,000,000) in cash, of which $1,797,040 (£1,400,000) is payable immediately and $770,160 (£600,000) payable pro rata with the remaining consideration of the Richborough sale. |
(b) | The Richborough Energy Park project did not achieve the Interim Operation Notification (“ION”) milestone on August 1, 2023 as originally planned, which results in liquidated damages being invoked on a daily basis at a daily rate of £7,500 (approximately $9,525) until the matter is resolved. The project engineering team are focused on resolving the technical delay by performing software simulation studies on the entire generation facility, and fully expect the ION to be issued and enacted by National Grid during August 2023. The sum of the resultant liquidated damages will be set off against future milestone receipts payable by the Buyer (Sosteneo Fund 1 HoldCo Sarl) to the Company. |

Corporate History
Our company was incorporated in Delaware on March 10, 1994, under the name of Beta Acquisition Corp. In September 1995, we changed our name to In-Sports International, Inc. In August 2002, we changed our name from In-Sports International, Inc. to ECash, Inc. In 2007, due to limited financial resources, we discontinued our operations. Over the course of the ensuing five years, we sought out new business opportunities.

On June 13, 2012, we changed our name to Pacific Green Technologies Inc. and effected a reverse split of our common stock following which we had 27,002 shares of common stock outstanding with $0.001 par value.
Effective December 4, 2012, we filed with the Delaware Secretary of State a Certificate of Amendment of Certificate of Incorporation, wherein we increased our authorized share capital to 510,000,000 shares of stock as follows:
● | 500,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001; and | |
● | 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.001. |
The increase of authorized capital was approved by our board of directors on July 1, 2012 and by a majority of our stockholders by a resolution dated July 1, 2012.
Original Strategy and Recent Business
Since 2012, the Company has focused on marketing, developing and acquiring technologies designed to improve the environment by reducing pollution. The Company has acquired technologies, patents and intellectual property from EnviroTechnologies Inc. through share transfer, assignment and representation agreements entered into during 2012 and 2013. Following those acquisitions, management has expanded the registration of intellectual property rights around the world and pursued opportunities globally for the development and marketing of the emission control technologies.
Working with a worldwide network of agents to market the ENVI-Systems™ emission control technologies, the Company has focused on three applications of the technology:
ENVI-Marine TM
Diesel exhaust from ships, ferries and tankers includes ash and soot as particulate components and sulfur dioxide as an acid gas. Testing has been conducted on diesel shipping to confirm the application of seawater as a neutralizing agent for sulfur emissions as well as capturing particulate matter. In addition to marine applications, these tests also showed applicability of the system for large displacement engines such as stationary generators, compressors, container handling, heavy construction and mining equipment.
ENVI-Pure TM
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-Clean™ system is particularly suited to WtE as it cleans multiple pollutants in a single system.
ENVI-Clean TM
EnviroTechnologies Inc. has successfully conducted sulfur 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 sulfur dioxide removal in all industries emitting sulfur 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. The ENVI-Clean™ system removes most of the sulfur 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.

Vision & Strategy
Pacific Green envisions a world of rapidly growing demand for renewable energy technological solutions to address the challenges presented by a changing climate. Having achieved success in marine emission control technologies we have now diversified our business to provide turnkey and scalable end-to-end environmental and renewable technology solutions in the energy sector. Our technological platform now has three main divisions:
● | Emission Control Systems (“ECS”); |
● | Concentrated Solar Power (“CSP”); and |
● | Battery Energy Storage Systems (“BESS”); |
In all the above areas, Pacific Green plans to execute this vision by a dual strategy of equipment sales and proactive infrastructure development and ownership, each is led by acquisitions of technology capabilities and project investment opportunities, highlighted to date by the following events:
● | on December 20, 2019, the Company closed the acquisition of Shanghai Engin Digital Technology Co. Ltd. (“Engin”) a solar design, development and engineering company. Engin is a design and engineering business focused primarily on CSP, desalination and waste to energy technologies. Engin’s CSP reference plants in China comprise over 150MW and we are now in talks to provide CSP alongside future ammonia and hydrogen production facilities in Asia and South America; |
● | on October 20, 2020, the Company closed the acquisition of Innoergy Limited (“Innoergy”), a UK based designer of BESS whose clients included Osaka Gas Co. Ltd, in Japan, and Limejump Limited in the UK, a subsidiary of Shell plc. The acquisition underpins our entry into the BESS market; |
● | on March 18, 2021, the Company acquired Richborough Energy Park Limited (“Richborough”), a BESS development project to deliver 99MW of energy in Kent, UK and subsequently sold the entity under the terms of a Sale and Purchase Agreement on June 26, 2023 (see Note 8); and |
● | On December 6, 2022 the Company acquired Sheaf Energy Limited for $9,126,000 (£7,500,000) which will be developed into our second BESS 249MW facility project. The acquisition was funded with a secured loan from a third-party investor, Sheaf Storage Limited, which is repayable in September 2023 (or earlier if Sheaf Energy Limited is sold earlier) along with a repayment fee of 20%. |
In support of this dual strategy, we have adopted a Human Resource Strategy that seeks to hire the best talent in the core areas of our business. At June 30, 2023, the Company employed approximately 45 staff excluding full time consultants and contractors across a network of offices around the world. Our hiring plan includes the addition of sales and project execution specialists.
Strategic Partnerships
Pacific Green has forged global partnerships with private and state-owned energy providers and owners. This strategic alignment with leading energy industry platforms empowers Pacific Green to provide quickly scalable solutions in the core areas of our business, to gather unique insights on cutting-edge trends and leverage recurring revenue opportunities that enable us to cross-sell products and services.
The Company has entered into several partnership and framework agreements in the core areas of our business.

Results of Operations
The following summary of our results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited interim financial statements for the three months ended June 30, 2023, and 2022.
Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2023, was $1,188,838 versus $2,023,876 for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The Company’s revenues were mainly derived from the delivery obligations under service agreements and ad hoc aftersales.
During the three months ended June 30, 2023, the gross profit margin for products and services were negative nil (2022 – 40%) and 14% (2022 – 35%), respectively. The gross profit margin for products decreased significantly as there were no sales of scrubbers in the period. Overall, the gross profit margin for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, was approximately negative 2% (2022 – 39%).
5
Expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2023, were $7,819,456 as compared to $3,926,657 for the three months ended June 30, 2022. Management and technical consulting fees increased due to increased activity resulting from the sale of PGBEP 1 and REP in June 2023. Management and technical consulting fees were comprised of fees paid to our directors, officers and advisors for business development efforts and advisory services. Office-based costs, travel expenses, bonuses and professional fees also increased due to increased business activities. The impact of various international factors on foreign exchange rates caused fluctuations which saw the Company’s foreign exchange losses increase significantly.
The three months ended June 30, 2023, our company recorded a net profit of $3,288,239 ($0.06 per share) compared to net loss of $3,259,230 ($0.07 per share) for the three months ended June 30, 2022.

As of June 30, 2023, we had $8,268,995 in cash and cash equivalents, $11,388,918 in total current assets, $15,665,615 in total current liabilities and a working capital deficit of $4,276,697 compared to working capital deficit of $11,780,657 as at March 31, 2023. The Company’s working capital deficit was reduced due to increased cash resulting mainly from the sale of Pacific Green Battery Energy Parks 1 Ltd and its subsidiary Richborough Energy Park Ltd.
During the three months ended June 30, 2023, we used $6,104,682 in operating activities in comparison to $6,312,027 generated from operating activities for the three months period ended June 30, 2022. The operating cash flow for the three months ended June 30, 2023, was mainly resulted from increased receivables and other operating expenses during the period.
During the three months ended June 30, 2023, we generated $6,266,366 in investing activities, whereas we used $6,978,986 in investing activities during the three months ended June 30, 2022. Our investing activities for the three months ended June 30, 2023, were primarily related to sales proceeds from the disposal of Pacific Green Battery Energy Parks 1 Ltd and its subsidiary Richborough Energy Park Ltd.
During the three months ended June 30, 2023, we generated $6,677,799 in financing activities, whereas we used $nil in financing activities during the three months ended June 30, 2022. Our financing activities for the three months ended June 30, 2023, were primarily related to additional loans in the period, which then formed part of the net liabilities used to derive the gain from the sale of the disposal of the subsidiary.

Anticipated Cash Requirements
On December 6, 2022 the Company acquired Sheaf Energy Limited for $9,126,000 (£7,500,000) which will be developed into our second BESS 250MW facility project. The acquisition was funded with a secured loan from a third party investor, Sheaf Storage Limited. We anticipate reaching financial close during the second half of 2023. We are funding our Sheaf project expenditure prior to financial close with cash proceeds from the sale in June 2023 of Pacific Green Battery Energy Parks 1 Ltd and its subsidiary Richborough Energy Park Ltd. These funds raised will also cover our normal operating expenditure over the next 12 months. We are currently negotiating with several parties to raise sufficient debt funding from third parties to cover development expenditure on our Australia energy park projects and other renewable energy opportunities.
As of June 30, 2023, we had $8,268,995 cash on hand. After careful consideration we believe current operations, anticipated deliveries and expected profit from such deliveries, sales of products in our Batteries business and the raising of short-term funds to be sufficient to cover expected cash operating expenses over the next 12 months.
Our cash requirement 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, Hong Kong, Abu Dhabi, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and Australia. We have hired staff in various regions and rely heavily upon the use of contractors and consultants. Our general and administrative expenses for the period will consist primarily of technical consultants, management, salaries and wages, professional fees, transfer agent fees, bank and interest charges and general office expenses. The professional fees relate to matters such as contract review, business acquisitions, regulatory filings, patent maintenance, and general legal, accounting and auditing fees.
Going Concern
Our financial statements for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 have been prepared on a going concern basis.
The assessment of the liquidity and going concern requires the Company to make judgments about the existence of conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the consolidated financial statements are issued. This includes judgments about the Company’s future activities and the timing thereof and estimates of future cash flows. Significant assumptions used in the Company’s forecasted model of liquidity include forecasted sales, costs, and capital expenditures. Changes in the assumptions could have a material impact on the forecasted liquidity and going concern assessment.
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.

Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in conformity with United States 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 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. Accounting estimates and assumptions discussed in this section are those that we consider to be the most critical to an understanding of our financial statements because they inherently involve significant judgments and uncertainties.
Impairment of Long-lived Assets
We review 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. The determination of whether impairment indicators exist requires significant judgment in evaluating underlying significant assumptions including expected sales contracts, operating costs, and current market value of assets. If an indication is identified, and 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
We account for revenue under ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”) using the five step approach. The most significant estimates and assumptions within the five-step approach are related to identification of performance obligations in the contract and the calculations inherent in the revenue recognition as or when performance obligations are satisfied.
Our marine scrubber sales contracts contain a single performance obligation satisfied over time, based on percentage of completion of the contract. The conclusion for a single performance obligation is based on management’s assessment of these contracts, whereby customers purchase the entire marine scrubber system and do not benefit from the separate components on their own. Revenue is recognized over time based on the percentage of completion of the contract, using the input method.

According to ASC 606-10-25-27, if the entity’s performance does not create an asset with an alternative use to the entity and the entity has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date, revenue should be recognized over time. Our scrubber system is customized to each vessel at the detailed design level, so the performance under the contract does not create an asset with an alternative use. According to our contracts signed with customers under English law, the customers are contractually and legally obliged to pay for performance completed to date that covers cost plus a reasonable profit margin. Therefore, the revenue is recognized over time based on the input method and it is the change in cost of goods sold (using a percentage of costs to complete) that has driven the change in revenues. Significant estimates are involved in using the input method as it relates to estimation of total costs and overall gross margins, and any change in these factors could lead to a difference in timing or amount of revenue and profit.
Revenue from services includes specific services provided to marine scrubber systems as well as design and engineering services for Concentrated Solar Power. Contracts for specific services provided to marine scrubber systems represent maintenance services. Contracts for Concentrated Solar Power include design and engineering services provided to clients. Revenue for service contracts is recognized as the services are provided at a point in time.
Any changes to our conclusions around single or multiple performance obligations for either or products or services could result in a timing difference in our revenue recognition. For example, in 2022 we re-assessed our contracts for the sale of marine scrubbers and determined there was only one performance obligation, which had previously been recognized as three distinct performance obligations. As a result, we restated the March 31, 2021 financial statements, with adjustments to revenue, accrued revenue, and prepaid manufacturing costs. Additionally, we have one contract with a significant financing component, where assumptions and estimates are made to separate the financing from revenue and record interest. Any changes in the discount rate or payment schedules could impact the timing of revenue recognized.
Warranty Provision
The Company reserves a 2% warranty provision on the completion of a contract following the commissioning of marine scrubbers. The specific terms and conditions of those warranties vary depending upon the product sold and geography of sale. The Company’s product warranties generally start from the commissioning date and continue for up to twelve to twenty-four months. The Company provides warranties to customers for the design, materials, and installation of scrubber units. The Company has a back-to-back manufacturing guarantee from its major supplier, which covers materials, production, and installation. 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. 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 assess the adequacy of recorded warranty liabilities quarterly and adjusts the liability as necessary.
