2. Going Concern
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company had net loss of $3,523,270 (2022- $2,817,609). As at March 31, 2023, the Company has working capital of $12,272,327 (December 31, 2022 - $15,870,377) and had an accumulated deficit of $36,907,489 (December 31, 2022 - $33,384,219). The Company has never generated profit from operations and relies on debt and equity financing for continued operations. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the ability to generate cash flows from operations and obtain financing. The Company intends to continue funding operations through equity and debt financing arrangements, which may be insufficient to fund its capital expenditures, working capital and other cash requirements in the long term. There can be no assurance that the steps management is taking will be successful.
The Company has historically operated at a loss, although that may change as sales volumes increase. As of March 31, 2023, the Company had working capital of $12,272,327 (December 31, 2022 – $15,870,377) and an accumulated deficit of $36,907,489 (December 31, 2022 - $33,384,219). As of March 31, 2023, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $10,489,214 (December 31, 2022 - $14,620,757). Despite the company almost having completed its purchasing of large manufacturing machinery, operational costs are expected to remain elevated and, thus, decrease cash and cash equivalents. Concurrently, the Company intends to begin manufacturing and increasing sales volumes within 2023, which should mitigate the effects of operational costs on cash and cash equivalents; this view is supported by the fact that the manufacturing facility of the Company is near completion and is expected to start generating more substantial revenue in the second quarter of 2023, barring unforeseeable delays.
The Company has successfully raised cash, and it is positioned to do so again if deemed necessary or strategically advantageous. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company, through its Reg-A public offering, private placement offering, underwritten public offering, and exercises of warrants, raised an aggregate of approximately $32,500,000. On September 30, 2022, the Company filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3, which was declared effective by the SEC on October 13, 2022 allowing the Company to issue up to $30,000,000 of common stock and up to $13,000,000 of common stock that may be issued and sold under an At The Market Offering Agreement dated as of September 30, 2022.
The Company has evaluated whether there are conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued. Based on its current operating plans, the Company believes it has a sufficient level of funding for anticipated operations, capital expenditures and debt repayments for a period of at least 12 months from the issuance date of this Quarterly Report. Still, these factors, among others, indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that cast substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. These adjustments could be material.

19. COVID-19
The outbreak of the coronavirus, specifically identified as “COVID-19,” has resulted in governments worldwide enacting emergency measures to combat the spread of the virus. These measures, which include the implementation of travel bans, self-imposed quarantine periods and social distancing, have caused material disruption to businesses globally resulting in an economic slowdown. Global equity markets have experienced significant volatility and weakness. Governments and central banks have reacted with significant monetary and fiscal interventions designed to stabilize economic conditions. The duration and impact of the COVID-19 outbreak are unknown at this time, as is the efficacy of the government and central bank interventions.
Additionally, while the potential economic impact and duration of such impact brought by the COVID-19 pandemic are difficult to assess or predict, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global financial markets may reduce our ability to access capital, which could negatively impact our short-term and long-term liquidity. The ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is highly uncertain and subject to change. The Company does not yet know the full extent of potential delays or impacts on its business, financing or the global economy as a whole. However, these effects could have a material impact on the Company’s liquidity, capital resources, operations and business and those of the third parties on which the Company relies. The management and board of the Company are constantly monitoring this situation to minimize potential losses.

This section and other parts of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Form 10-Q”) contain forward-looking statements, within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, that involve risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements provide current expectations of future events based on certain assumptions and include any statement that does not directly relate to any historical or current fact. Forward-looking statements can also be identified by words such as “future,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “predicts,” “will,” “would,” “could,” “can,” “may,” and similar terms. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and actual results may differ significantly from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements in this Form 10-Q are made based on current expectations, forecasts, estimates and assumptions, and involve risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause results or events to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements. In evaluating these statements, various factors, uncertainties, and risks should be specifically considered that could affect future results or operations. These factors, uncertainties and risks may cause actual results to differ materially from any forward-looking statement set forth in this Form 10-Q. These risks and uncertainties described and other information contained in the reports filed with or furnished to the SEC should be carefully considered before making any investment decision with respect to the Company’s securities. The Company assumes no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements for any reason, except as required by law.
Unless otherwise stated, all information presented herein is based on the Company’s fiscal calendar, and references to particular years, quarters, months or periods refer to the Company’s fiscal years ended in March and the associated quarters, months and periods of those fiscal years. Each of the terms the “Company” and “Worksport” as used herein refers collectively to Worksport Ltd. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, unless otherwise stated.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the 2022 Form 10-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2022
Revenue
For the three months ended March 31, 2023, revenues from the entire line of our products were $31,925, as compared to $47,784 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The year-over-year sales decreased by approximately 33%. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, revenue generated in Canada was $5,522, as compared to $0 for the same period in 2022. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, revenue generated in the United States was $26,403, compared to $47,784 for the same period in 2022, a decrease of 45%.
Revenue decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the same period the prior year due to our focus on establishing new business-to-consumer and business-to-business sales channels while strengthening the support of those channels to increase customer satisfaction and enable high product turnover once domestic production begins. For business-to-consumer channels, we established our own e-commerce platform as well as listed our products on online marketplaces including eBay, Amazon, and Walmart. For business-to-business channels, we updated our terms and conditions, created improved product brochures for distributors, strategically created a Minimum Advertised Price policy to prevent our business-to-consumer channels from interfering with our business-to-business channels, established sales representation across the continental U.S. by forging relationships with various sales agencies, and more. We intend to begin domestic manufacturing in the second quarter of fiscal year 2023 and gradually increase output capacity through refined production processes and increased personnel.
Sales from online retailers of our products decreased from $47,784 during the three months ended March 31, 2022 to $26,434 during the three months ended March 31, 2023, a decrease of 45%. Online retailers accounted for 83% of total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to 100% for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Distributor sales increased for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared with the three months ended March 31, 2022 with sales of $5,491 and $0, respectively. We expect to continue to grow our fields of business as we develop unique products with enhanced utility to offer to other prospective clients in the US and Canadian markets.

We currently support a network of dealers, distributors, and independent resellers, and we will continue to expand our business and online sales channels in 2023.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales decreased by 48%, from $37,977 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 to $19,757 for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Our cost of sales, as a percentage of sales, was approximately 62% and 79% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The decrease in the cost of sales as a percentage of sales was primarily due to increased efficiency associated with improved supply chain logistics for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the same prior period.
We provide our distributors and online retailers an “all-in” wholesale price. This includes any import duty charges, taxes, and shipping charges. Discounts are applied if the distributor or retailer chooses to use their own shipping process. Certain exceptions apply on rare occasions where product is shipped outside the contiguous United Sates or from the United States to Canada. Volume discounts are offered to certain high-volume customers, and we also offer a “dock price” or “pickup program” in which clients are able to pick up product directly from our stocking warehouse.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses increased for the three months ended March 31, 2023 by $734,529, from $2,807,587 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 to $3,542,116 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, due to the following factors.
● | General and administrative expenses increased by $1,528,754 from $600,858 in 2022 to $2,129,612 in 2023. The increase was related to increased research and development activities and an increase in salaries as we seek to expand our operations and further develop our products. | |
● | Sales and marketing expenses decreased by $176,137 from $720,488 for 2022 to $544,351 for 2023. The decrease in sales and marketing is primarily attributable to the completion of several marketing agreements and lower cost of in-house marketing campaigns to create brand and product awareness. | |
● | Professional fees, which include accounting, legal, and consulting fees, decreased from $1,487,579 in 2022 to $868,611 in 2023. The decrease in professional fees was due to the completion of consulting engagements with various third-party consultants. | |
● | We realized a gain on foreign exchange of $458 during 2023, compared to a gain on foreign exchange of $1,338 for the prior period due to conversions between CAD and USD. |
Other Income and Expenses
We reported other income for the three months ended March 31, 2023 of $6,678 compared to a loss of $19,829 in the prior period. The change can be attributed to our gain on loan forgiveness from the Government of Canada as well as rental and interest income, which are partially offset by an increase in interest expense.
Net Loss
Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $3,523,270 compared to a net loss of $2,817,609 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 – an increase of 25%. The increase in the net loss can be attributed to the increase in various operating expenses as we focus on expanding our operations, research and development, manufacturing, and supply chain.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2023, we had $10,489,214 in cash and cash equivalents. We have generated only limited revenues and have relied primarily upon capital generated from public and private offerings of our securities. Since the Company’s acquisition of Worksport in fiscal year 2014, it has never generated a profit. As of March 31, 2023, we had an accumulated deficit of $36,907,489.
To date, our principal sources of liquidity consists of net proceeds from public and private securities offerings and cash exercises of outstanding warrants. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we did not receive any proceeds from public offerings, private placement offering, nor exercises of warrants. Management is focused on transitioning towards revenue as our principal source of liquidity by growing our existing product offerings, as well as our customer base, to increase our revenues. We cannot give assurance that we can increase our cash balances or limit our cash consumption and thus maintain sufficient cash balances for our planned operations or future business developments. Future business development and demands may lead to cash utilization at levels greater than recently experienced. We may need to raise additional capital in the future. However, we cannot assure we will be able to raise additional capital on acceptable terms, or at all. Subject to the foregoing, we believe our current cash balances coupled with anticipated cash flow from operating activities will be sufficient to meet our working capital requirements for at least one year from the date of issuance of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

Cash Flow Activities
Cash decreased from $14,620,757 at December 31, 2022 to $10,489,214 at March 31, 2023 – a decrease of $4,131,543 or 28%. The decrease was primarily due to the acquiring of assets for domestic production, such as industrial manufacturing equipment, as well as increasing spending for inventory in anticipation of launching our e-commerce platform, research and development, and overhead.
As of March 31, 2023, we had current assets of $14,705,146 (December 31, 2022 - $18,332,107) and current liabilities of $2,432,819 (December 31, 2022 – $2,461,730). As of March 31, 2023, we had working capital of $12,272,327 (December 31, 2022 – $15,870,377) and an accumulated deficit of $36,907,489 (December 31, 2022 - $33,384,219).
Operating Activities
Net cash used by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $2,934,410, compared to $2,130,184 in the prior period, primarily driven by a larger net loss during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and partially offset by the issuance of shares, options, and warrants for services.
Accounts receivable increased at March 31, 2023 by $38,013 and decreased by $6,733 in the prior period. The increase in accounts receivable was due to higher sales to distributors near the end of the period in 2023 compared to 2022.
Inventory increased at March 31, 2023 by $257,423 and at March 31, 2022 by $290,041 as a result of our stockpiling inventory in anticipation of the launch of our e-commerce platform. Prepaid expenses increased by $742,590 at March 31, 2023 and by $430,917 at March 31, 2022 due to deposits made by us for the purchase of inventory and professional services.
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities decreased at March 31, 2023 by $6,799 and increased by $105,626 in the prior period.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $1,153,229 compared to $614,046 in the prior period. The increase in investing activities was primarily due to the purchase of manufacturing property and equipment and Guaranteed Investment Certificate (“GIC”).
Financing Activities
Net cash used by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $43,904 compared to $1,863 in the prior period.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
None.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our discussion and analysis of results of operations and financial condition are based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We evaluate our estimates on an ongoing basis, including those related to provisions for uncollectible accounts receivable, inventories, valuation of intangible assets and contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
The accounting policies that we follow are set forth in Note 2 to our financial statements as included in the Form 10-K filed on March 31, 2023. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Not Applicable.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)). Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the quarter covered in this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all error or fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Due to the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. To address the material weaknesses, we performed additional analysis and other post-closing procedures in an effort to ensure our consolidated financial statements included in this quarterly report have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, management believes that the financial statements included in this report fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
