Notes to the condensed interim consolidated financial statements

(Unaudited)

May 31, 2024

1. Incorporation and nature of business

Vision Marine Technologies Inc. [the “Company”] was incorporated on August 29, 2012 and its principal business is to manufacture and sell or rent electric boats. The Voting Common Shares of the Company are listed under the trading symbol “VMAR” on Nasdaq.

The Company is incorporated in Canada and its head office and registered office is located at 730 Curé-Boivin boulevard, Boisbriand, Quebec, J7G 2A7.

Business seasonality

The Company’s operating results generally vary from quarter to quarter as a result of changes in general economic conditions and seasonal fluctuations, among other things, in each of its reportable segments. This means the Company’s results in one quarter are not necessarily indicative of how the Company will perform in a future quarter.

Sale of electric boats

The sale of electric boats segment has a seasonal aspect to its operations. Most customers purchase their electric boats from the Company with the intention of utilizing them during the summer period which typically runs from early June to late August and corresponds to the Company’s fourth quarter of a financial year. As such, the revenues in this operating segment fluctuate based on the level of boat deliveries, with a high and a low in the fourth quarter and the first quarter, respectively.

Rental of electric boats

Revenue generated by the rental of electric boats segment also has a seasonal aspect to its operations. Boat rental as an activity is highly sought by customers when the weather is milder, which is typically the case during the period from May to August. A colder-than-expected or rainier summer in any given year could have an impact on the segment’s revenues and hence on its profitability. Revenue from the boat club memberships is not impacted by seasonality as the memberships are typically on an annual basis.

2. Basis of preparation and going concern uncertainty

Compliance with IFRS

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements are for the three-month and nine-month periods ended May 31, 2024 and have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34: Interim Financial Reporting. They do not include all of the information required in annual financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended August 31, 2023.

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended August 31, 2023.

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements were authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors on July 15, 2024.

Vision Marine Technologies Inc.

Notes to the condensed interim consolidated financial statements

(Unaudited)

May 31, 2024

Going concern uncertainty

As of May 31, 2024, the Company has cash of $341,308 and working capital of $4,961,637. The Company has incurred recurring losses, has not yet achieved profitable operations and has a deficit of $61,956,734 since its inception. The cash flows from operations were negative for the three years ended August 31, 2023 as well as for the current nine-month period ended May 31, 2024. Additional financing will be needed by the Company to fund its operations and to commercialize the E-Motion powertrain business. These matters, when considered in aggregate, indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for at least 12 months from the issuance of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements. In view of these matters, continuation as a going concern is dependent upon the continued operations of the Company which will be determined by the Company’s ability to meet its financial requirements, including its ability to raise additional capital.

The Company is evaluating several different strategies and is actively pursuing actions that are expected to increase its liquidity position, including, but not limited to, pursuing additional cost savings initiatives, seeking additional financing from both the public and private markets through the issuance of equity securities, and potentially selling assets which do not align with the Company’s outlook of future operations. For the nine-month period ended May 31, 2024, the Company was able to raise net proceeds from issuance of common shares, warrants, preferred shares and options to purchase additional preferred shares and warrants of $8,326,492. However, the Company's management cannot provide assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its proposed financing plans. Management also cannot provide any assurance as to unforeseen circumstances that could occur within the next 12 months which could increase the Company’s need to raise additional capital on an immediate basis, which additional capital may not be available to the Company.

The accompanying condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes the Company will continue its operations for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. These condensed interim consolidated financial statements as at and for the three-month and nine-month periods ended May 31, 2024 do not include any adjustments to the carrying amounts and classification of assets, liabilities and reported expenses that may otherwise be required if the going concern basis was not appropriate. Such adjustments could be material.

Basis of measurement

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars and were prepared on a historical cost basis.

Certain comparative figures have been adjusted to conform with the current period presentation due to the discontinued operations [note 25].

Basis of consolidation

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, and the subsidiaries that it controls. Control exists when the Company has the power over the subsidiary, when it is exposed or has rights to variable returns from its involvement with the subsidiary and when it has the ability to use its power to affect its returns. Subsidiaries that the Company controls are consolidated from the effective date of acquisition up to the effective date of disposal or loss of control.

Use of estimates and judgments

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Although these estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of the amount, event or actions, actual results ultimately may differ from those estimates. Areas where judgments, estimates and assumptions are considered significant to the condensed interim consolidated financial statements remain unchanged to the 2023 annual financial statements, except for the changes made to the underlying assumptions in determining the carrying amount of the goodwill associated with its boat rental operation cash-generating unit (“CGU”), which represents the lowest level within the Company at which the goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes [note 9].

Standards issued but yet not effective

Amendments to IAS 1: Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current

In January 2020 and October 2022, the IASB issued amendments to paragraphs 69 to 76 of IAS 1 to specify the requirements for classifying liabilities as current or non-current. The amendments clarify:

What is meant by a right to defer settlement.

That a right to defer must exist at the end of the reporting period.

That classification is unaffected by the likelihood that an entity will exercise its deferral right.

That only if an embedded derivative in a convertible liability is itself an equity instrument would the terms of a liability not impact its classification.

For the Company, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning on September 1, 2024, and must be applied retrospectively. This will result in reclassification of the Company's derivative liabilities from long-term to short-term liabilities [note 15].

5. Investment in Limestone

On May 14, 2021, the Company subscribed for and purchased 3,400 senior unsecured subordinated convertible debentures of The Limestone Boat Company Limited [“Limestone”], a publicly traded company listed under the trading symbol "BOAT" on the TSX Venture Exchange [the "Debentures"], for an aggregate amount of $3,400,000.

The Debentures bore interest at a rate of 10% per annum, payable annually in arrears, and had a 36-month term [the “Term”]. The Debentures were convertible at any time at the option of the Company into common shares of Limestone [“Common Shares”] at a conversion price of $0.36 per Common Share [the “Conversion Price”]. If at any time following 120 days from the date of issuance of the Debentures [the “Closing Date“] and prior to the date that is 30 days prior to the end of the Term, the volume weighted average closing price of the Common Shares on the TSX Venture Exchange, or such other exchange on which the Common Shares may be listed, is equal to or higher than $0.50 per Common Share for 20 consecutive trading days, Limestone could have notified the Company that the Debentures will be automatically converted into Common Shares at the Conversion Price 30 days following the date of such notice.

The Investment in Limestone is carried at fair value through profit and loss and are considered as Level 3 financial instruments in the fair value hierarchy.

On January 20, 2023, Limestone announced that Limestone’s U.S. subsidiaries filed for voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Middle District of Tennessee. As a result, the Company recorded an impairment on the entire value of the Debentures at the amount $2,637,000 for the year ended August 31, 2023.

9. Goodwill

Assets that have an indefinite life, such as goodwill, are tested annually by the Company for impairment, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate there may be impairment. During the three-month period ended February 29, 2024, the Company noted certain events and circumstances which indicated that there may be an impairment of the goodwill associated with its boat rental operation CGU (see detailed description below).

As a result of these triggering events and circumstances, the Company performed an impairment analysis for the boat rental operation CGU as at February 29, 2024. As a result of this analysis, the Company determined that the carrying amount of the goodwill associated with the boat rental operation CGU exceeded its recoverable amount and, accordingly, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment loss of $4,274,000 for the nine-month period ended May 31, 2024, which was recognized during the three-month period ended February 29, 2024. As a result of this loss, the carrying amount of the goodwill associated with this CGU had been reduced to $5,431,975 as at February 29, 2024 [August 31, 2023 - $9,714,558]. Note that the goodwill was further reduced this quarter following the sale of EB Rental, Ltd. See note 25 for details.

The recoverable amount was determined based on the fair value less costs of disposal approach using a discounted cash flow model. The fair value measurement is categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The model included forecasted cash flows based on updated financial plans prepared by management covering a five-year period taking into consideration future investments and expansion activities that will enhance the performance of the assets of the CGU and the following key assumptions:

Expected earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) as a percentage of revenues for the CGU of 12.7% for the remainder of 2024, 15.8% in 2025, 19.3% in 2026, 19.9% in 2027, 20.7% in 2028 and 21.5% in 2029 and thereafter.

May 31, 2024

Expected working capital cash absorption ratio for the CGU of 20% of annual incremental sales increases.

Expected annual capital expenditure needs for the CGU of US$56,500 for the remainder of 2024, US$126,000 in 2025, US$346,800 in 2026, US$594,259 in 2027, US$229,820 in 2028, US$234,310 in 2029 and US$238,876 annually thereafter.

The discounted cash flow model was established using a post-tax discount rate of 28.0% based on the weighted average cost of capital calculated using observable market-based inputs or benchmark of a sample of representative publicly traded companies. The terminal growth rate of 2% used is based on published long-term growth rates.

Any reasonable negative change in these key assumptions could cause additional impairment of the CGU.

In prior periods, management had based its selection of assumptions upon its assessment of the ability of the CGU to maintain the levels of growth and profitability experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic, despite the unfavourable weather conditions experienced in its key markets over the course of the fiscal year ended August 31, 2023. However, continued unfavourable weather conditions and a recent general downturn in the boating industry have had a negative impact on the CGU’s revenues and EBITDA over the first six months of the current fiscal year. In addition, management’s attempts to sell all or a portion of the Company’s boat rental operation over the current quarter have been largely unsuccessful, indicating a possible decline in value of the CGU. Therefore, the impairment charge was the result of management’s revised assumptions related to revenues and the expected EBITDA as a percentage of sales taking into account the current economic environment.

10. Credit facility

The Company had an authorized line of credit of $250,000, renewable annually, bearing interest at prime rate plus 1%, secured by a first ranking movable hypothec of $750,000 on all present and future accounts receivable and inventory. Effective March 31, 2024, the line of credit was not renewed and closed. As at May 31, 2024, the Company has drawn an amount of nil [August 31, 2023 - $155,000] on the line of credit.

Series A Convertible Preferred Shares

On December 13, 2023, the Company authorized the issuance of Series A Convertible Preferred Shares. This class of shares ranks senior to the Voting Common Shares but retains no voting rights. They have a stated value of US$1,000 per share and are convertible into Voting Common Shares of the Company at the election of the holder at any time at a price of US$1.05 per share, exercise price subject to adjustment. The Series A Convertible Preferred Shares are convertible at the election of its holder into that number of Voting Common Shares determined by dividing its stated value (plus any and all other amounts which may be owing in connection therewith) by the exercise price, subject to certain beneficial ownership limitations which prohibit any holder from converting into an amount of Voting Common Shares that would cause such holder to beneficially own more than 4.99% of the then outstanding Voting Common Shares). On the one-year anniversary of the original issuance date, the Series A Convertible Preferred Shares will automatically convert into Voting Common Shares at the lesser of the then exercise price, and 80% of the average volume-weighted average price of the Company’s Voting Common Shares during the five trading days ending on, and including, such date. In no event shall the conversion price for the Series A Convertible Preferred Shares be less than US$0.30, subject to adjustment herein. The holder also receives 952 warrants to purchase Voting Common Shares per US$1,000 stated value of the Series A Convertible Preferred Shares held that are exercisable for a period of 5 years from the issuance date at a price of US$1.05 per share. In addition, the holder receives an option to purchase one additional Series A Convertible Preferred Share and 952 warrants to purchase Voting Common Shares per each Series A Convertible Preferred Share held for a period of 6 months from the issuance date at the stated value of US$1,000.

On December 21, 2023, the Company issued 3,000 Series A Convertible Preferred Shares and 2,857,142 warrants to purchase Voting Common Shares for a total cash consideration of $4,036,025 (US$3,000,000). For the three-month and nine-month periods ended May 31, 2024, the Company incurred transaction costs of nil and $615,306 respectively related to this issuance, which were recorded in net finance expense (income) [May 31, 2023 – Nil] [note 20].

On February 8, 2024, 63 Series A Convertible Preferred Shares were converted into 60,000 Voting Common Shares at a value of $42,886 [Note 17].

On February 23, 2024, 76 Series A Convertible Preferred Shares were converted into 72,380 Voting Common Shares at a value of $51,736 [Note 17].

On May 14, 2024, 11 Series A Convertible Preferred Shares were converted into 10,476 Voting Common Shares at a value of $10,467 [Note 17].

Given the variability associated with the various components of this instrument, these instruments were recorded as derivative liabilities and will be subject to fair value adjustments at the issuance date and at subsequent balance sheet dates. The fair value was determined using the Monte Carlo simulation run under the Geometric Brownian Motion. Since the fair value is based on valuation using unobservable market inputs, the Company did not recognize the loss on initial recognition. The difference between the fair value at initial recognition and the transaction price was deferred and is recognized over time based on the individual terms of each financial instrument. This difference determined was due to delays in negotiations, the changes in the capital market and the Company’s liquidity situation.

Series B Convertible Preferred Shares

On December 13, 2023, the Company authorized the issuance of Series B Convertible Preferred Shares. This class of shares ranks senior to the Voting Common Shares but retains no voting rights. They have a stated value of US$1,000 per share and are convertible into Voting Common Shares of the Company at the election of the holder at any time at a price of US$1.05 per share, exercise price subject to adjustment. The Series B Convertible Preferred Shares are convertible at the election of its holder into that number of Voting Common Shares determined by dividing its stated value (plus any and all other amounts which may be owing in connection therewith) by the exercise price, subject to certain beneficial ownership limitations which prohibit any holder from converting into an amount of Voting Common Shares that would cause such holder to beneficially own more than 4.99% of the then outstanding Voting Common Shares). On the one-year anniversary of the original issuance date, the Series B Convertible Preferred Shares will automatically convert into Voting Common Shares at the lesser of the then exercise price, and 80% of the average volume-weighted average price of the Company’s Voting Common Shares during the five trading days ending on, and including, such date. In no event shall the conversion price for the Series B Convertible Preferred Shares be less than US$0.30, subject to adjustment herein. The holder also receives 952 warrants to purchase Voting Common Shares per US$1,000 stated value of the Series B Convertible Preferred Shares held that are exercisable for a period of 5 years from the issuance date at a price of US$1.05 per share.

On January 17, 2024, the Company issued 3,000 Series B Convertible Preferred Shares and 2,857,142 warrants to purchase Voting Common Shares for a total cash consideration of $4,044,900 (US$3,000,000). For the three-month and nine-month periods ended May 31, 2024, the Company incurred transaction costs of nil and $839,195 respectively related to this issuance, which were recorded in net finance expense (income) [May 31, 2023 – Nil] [note 20].

18. Share-based payments

Description of the plan

The Company has a fixed option plan. The Company’s stock option plan is administered by the Board of Directors. Under the plan, the Company’s Board of Directors may grant stock options to employees, advisors and consultants, and designates the number of options and the share price pursuant to the new options, subject to applicable regulations. The options, when granted, will have an exercise price of no less than the estimated fair value of shares at the date of grant.

Stock options

On multiple grant dates, the Company granted stock options at exercise prices varying between $1.03 and $16.29 per share to directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company. The stock options will expire 5 to 10 years from the grant dates.

The Company recognizes share-based payments expense for option grants based on the fair value at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The share-based payments expense recognized for the three-month and nine-month periods ended May 31, 2024 amounts to $46,270 and $192,622 respectively [May 31, 2023 – $628,923 and $1,052,090 respectively]. The table below lists the assumptions used to determine the fair value of these option grants.

21. Fair value measurement and hierarchy

The fair value measurement of the Company’s financial and non-financial assets and liabilities utilizes market observable inputs and data as far as possible. Inputs used in determining fair value measurements are categorized into different levels based on how observable the inputs used in the valuation technique utilized are (the “fair value hierarchy”):

●

Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical items [unadjusted];

●

Level 2: Observable direct or indirect inputs other than Level 1 inputs; and

●

Level 3: Unobservable inputs [i.e., not derived from market data].

The classification of an item into the above levels is based on the lowest level of the inputs used that has a significant effect on the fair value measurement of the item. Transfers of items between levels are recognized in the period they occur.

The carrying amount of trade and other receivables, advances to/from related parties and trade and other payables are assumed to approximate their fair value due to their short-term nature.

The fair value of financial liabilities is estimated by discounting the remaining contractual maturities at the current market interest rate that is available for similar financial liabilities.

Classified as Level 3, the fair value of Debentures was estimated using the partial differential equation model to value convertible debentures that include a call feature. Key assumptions used in the model include volatility, which was based on actual trading data, difference in volatility since initial issuance of the instrument and similar instruments on the market, and credit spread, which was based on corporate bond yield spreads in the market and credit spread data for similar public companies. The model included a fair value adjustment based on an initial calibration exercise. During the nine month period ended May 31, 2023, the Company recorded an impairment loss on the Debentures based on the estimated recoverable amount of the financial asset [note 5].

The fair value of the derivative liabilities related to the warrants issued to common shareholders is classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy and is calculated using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model using the historical volatility of comparable companies as an estimate of future volatility, as well as the current market price of the Voting Common Shares. As at May 31, 2024, the Company used volatility of approximately 77% over the remaining contractual life in order to determine the fair value of the derivative liabilities. As at May 31, 2024, if the volatility used was increased by 10%, the impact would be an increase of $99,000 to the derivative liabilities with a corresponding decrease in total comprehensive income. As at May 31, 2024, if the current market price of the Voting Common Shares increased by 10%, the impact would be an increase of $134,000 to the derivative liabilities with a corresponding decrease in total comprehensive income [note 15].

The fair value of the derivative liabilities related to the Series A and B Convertible Preferred Shares is classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy and is calculated using the Monte Carlo simulation run under the Geometric Brownian Motion model. The significant input assumptions into the model for each valuation date include the starting share price, a 70% volatility applied to the Series A and Series B Convertible Preferred Shares as at the issuance date, a 75% volatility applied to the Series A and Series B Convertible Preferred Shares as at May 31, 2024, a 50% volatility applied to the warrants issued with the Series A and Series B Convertible Preferred Shares and a risk-free rate based on the U.S. treasury rates matching the duration of each component of the Series A and Series B Convertible Preferred Shares. As at May 31, 2024, if the volatility used was increased by 5%, the impact would be an increase of $110,000 to the derivative liabilities with a corresponding decrease in total comprehensive income [note 15].

22. Segment information

The Company operates in two reportable business segments.

The two reportable business segments offer different products and services, require different processes and are based on how the financial information is produced internally for the purposes of monitoring operating results and making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment by the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker.

The following summary describes the operations of each of the Company’s reportable business segments:

●

Sale of electric boats – manufacture of customized electric boats for consumer market and sale of boat parts maintenance, and

●

Rental of electric boats – short-term rental operation and boat club membership.

Sales between segments are accounted for at prices that approximate fair value. No business segments have been aggregated to form the above reportable business segments.

On April 25, 2024, the Company sold 100% of the shares of EB Rental, Ltd., which previously facilitated its electric boat rental operations located in Newport Beach, California, to EB Strategies Inc. for $1,089,302. The Company continues to own and operate its electric boat rental operations in Ventura, California and Palm Beach, Florida. Up until April 25, 2024, EB Strategies Inc was considered a related party whose controlling shareholder was a member of management of the Company’s boat rental operation. His employment and association with the Company ended at the close of this transaction.

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared based on the books and records maintained by the Company, and the subsidiaries that it controls. However, due to the above sale of EB Rental, Ltd., the control over this subsidiary was deemed to have been lost as of April 25, 2024. As such, the Company ceased consolidating this subsidiary as at April 25, 2024.

Form 51-102F1 Management's Discussion & Analysis

For the nine-month period ended May 31, 2024

1.1 Date July 15, 2024

Introduction

The following management's discussion and analysis, prepared as of May 31, 2024, is a review of operations, current financial position and outlook for Vision Marine Technologies Inc. (the "Company"), and should be read in conjunction with the Company's interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the nine-month period ended May 31, 2024 and the audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended August 31, 2023 and 2022 and the notes thereto. Amounts are reported in Canadian dollars based upon the interim condensed consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting and annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements contained in the following Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) constitute forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements involve a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.

Risks and Uncertainties

There is limited public information on our operating history.

Our limited public operating history makes evaluating our business and prospects difficult. Although we were formed in 2012, we did not provide public reports on the results of operations until our 2020 fiscal year. We only have six years of audited financial statements.

We currently have a net loss, and if we are unable to achieve and grow a net income in the future our ability to grow our business as planned will be adversely affected.

We have made significant up-front investments in research and development, sales and marketing, and general and administrative expenses to rapidly develop and expand our business. We had a net loss of $10,684,151 for the nine-month period ended May 31, 2024 as compared to a net loss of $16,791,924 for the same period last year. We may never achieve net income or if we do it may fail to grow or even decline in certain circumstances, many of which are beyond our control. Our revenues might not ever significantly exceed our expenses, and may even be lower than our expenses. It may take us longer to obtain net income than we anticipate, if at all, or we may only do so at a much lower rate than we anticipate. Failure to obtain net income may mean that we will have to curtail our planned growth in operations or resort to financings to fund such growth in the future.

Our plan of operations entails promoting a product that we may never launch or which may not be commercially accepted if launched.

We have concentrated the majority of our research and development efforts on developing electric powertrain systems that we intend to rent and sell to Original Equipment Manufacturers (“OEM”) of boats. We expect the electric powertrain systems to represent the majority of our revenue in our coming accounting periods. We have built prototypes of our electronic powertrain. We do not know if OEMs will find our product candidate to be an attractive component in their boats or if they will find the price of our electric powertrains to be acceptable. We do not currently have any significant customers for our electric powertrains. Although we have received LOIs from OEMs for over 1,000 powertrains through the year ended August 31, 2024, such LOIs are non-binding and may never result in any actual sales. Even if we do develop such relationships, we might not be able to maintain them or grow them as anticipated. At the time of our initial public offering, we had expected to begin the commercialization of our electric powertrains in 2020 but were not able to meet that preferred timeline and we may not meet our new timelines. Additionally, we had anticipated developing a 335 horsepower within 18 months of our last annual report but currently do not believe that we will meet that anticipated date. If we are not successful in commercializing our product or if sales of our electric powertrain are less than we estimate, our business may not grow as expected, if at all, and we may fail.

To carry out our proposed business plan to build up inventory for order fulfilment, increase brand awareness and develop a new powertrain for our engines, we will require a significant amount of capital.

If current cash, cash equivalents and revenue from our business are not sufficient to cover our cash requirements, we will need to raise additional funds through the sale of debt or equity securities, in either private placements or additional registered offerings. If we are unsuccessful in raising enough funds through such capital-raising efforts, we may review other financing possibilities such as bank loans. Financing might not be available to us or, if available, only on terms that are not favorable or acceptable to us.

Our ability to obtain the necessary financing to carry out our business plan is subject to a number of factors, including general market conditions and investor acceptance of our business plan. These factors may make the timing, amount, terms and conditions of such financing unattractive or unavailable to us. If we are unable to raise sufficient funds, we will have to significantly reduce our spending, delay or cancel our planned activities, sell non-essential assets or substantially change our current corporate structure. We might not be able to obtain any funding, and we might not have sufficient resources to conduct our business as projected, both of which could mean that we would be forced to curtail or discontinue our operations.

Terms of subsequent financings may adversely impact your investment.

We may have to engage in common equity, debt, or preferred share financings in the future. As a result, your rights and the value of your investment in our securities could be reduced. Interest on debt securities could increase costs and negatively impact operating results. Preferred shares could be issued in one or more series from time to time with such designation, rights, preferences, and limitations as determined by the Board. The terms of preferred shares could be more advantageous to those investors than to the holders of common shares. In addition, if we need to raise more equity capital from the sale of common shares, institutional or other investors may negotiate terms at least as, and possibly more, favorable than the terms of your investment in our common shares.

Our future growth depends upon consumers’ willingness to purchase electric powerboats.

Our growth highly depends upon the adoption by consumers of, and we are subject to an elevated risk of any reduced demand for, electric powerboats. Without such growth, sales of our electric powertrain, if any, and our electric boats may not grow at the rate that we anticipate, if such sales grow at all. If the market for electric powerboats does not develop as we expect or develops more slowly than we expect, our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results will be negatively impacted. Despite the long history of electric powerboats, the market for them is relatively new, rapidly evolving, characterized by rapidly changing technologies, price competition, additional competitors, evolving government regulation and industry standards, frequent new electric powerboat announcements and changing consumer demands and behaviors. Powerboats with conventional gas-powered motors may be deemed preferable to electric powerboats as they tend to be more powerful, have a longer range and/or cost less. Other factors that may influence the adoption of electric powerboats include:

the decline of an electric powerboats range resulting from deterioration over time in the battery’s ability to hold a charge;

concerns about electric grid capacity and reliability, which could derail our efforts to promote electric powerboats as a practical solution to powerboats which require gasoline;

improvements in the fuel economy of the internal combustion engine;

the availability of service for electric powerboats;

the environmental consciousness of consumers;

volatility in the cost of oil and gasoline;

consumers’ perceptions about convenience and cost to charge an electric powerboat;

the availability of tax and other governmental incentives to manufacture electric powerboats; and

perceptions about and the actual cost of alternative fuel.

Any of the factors described above may cause current or potential customers not to purchase our electric powerboat, which would materially adversely affect our business, operating results, financial condition and prospects.

Our future growth depends upon consumers’ preference for outboard motors.

We envision the majority of our growth deriving from the sale of our electric powertrain for an outboard motor. If consumer preferences lead to a decline in outboard motors, the OEMs we intend to sell our electric powertrain to may produce less electric boats, and we may not be able to sell as many electric powertrains as we anticipate, if we sell any at all. We may not be able to adapt the technology behind this powertrain for inboard motors or may only be able to do so in a way that is not cost effective.

We rely on a limited number of suppliers for key components of our finished products.

Although we manufacture all of our powerboats, we do so by assembling the component parts that we acquire from third-party suppliers rather than by producing any of those component parts ourselves. We materially depend on some of those third-party suppliers for certain components that we obtain from a limited number of suppliers, namely:

hulls: we purchase all of our hulls from Aqualux and Abitibi & Co.,

Motors: for our electric powertrains, we intend to purchase motors from Danfoss Technologies and E-Propulsion and for our boats, we purchase approximately 30% from Min-Kota, 35% from E-Tech and 20% from E-Propulsion;

powertrains: we purchase approximately 100% of our low powered powertrains from E-Propulsion, a Chinese company specialized in the research, development and production of components for electric outboard engines;

battery packs: we purchase our lithium-ion batteries (approximately 15% of all batteries we purchase) from Octillion and Neogy who in turn rely upon Samsung cells, We have an agreement with Octillion Power Systems (“Octillion”) to provide marine specific batteries to power the E-Motion™ powertrain; and

casings: we purchase the casings for our powertrains from Tohatshu Corporation, a Japanese company.

As we purchase our components and parts through purchase orders and informal arrangements rather than long-term purchase agreements, we have not contractually secured a supply chain for these components and parts. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, some of our third-party suppliers have experienced delays in delivering parts and components for our products. If we continue to experience delays in receiving our supplies from these third-parties, if they significantly increased the cost of these components or if they ceased offering us these components, we may have to find new suppliers, which might not be possible on a timely basis, or cease production of the products in which the components are included.

In June 2021, we acquired 7858078 Canada Inc., and the acquired company may not perform as we expect.

In June 2021, we acquired all of the equity interests of 7858078 Canada Inc. (“EBR”) which wholly-owns our electric boat rental cash-generating unit (“CGU”) operating in various locations in California and Florida. Integrating businesses is a difficult, expensive, and time-consuming process. Our principal executive offices and manufacturing facility are located in Quebec, Canada and EBR’s operations are conducted, and its employees are mostly located, in California and Florida. Failure to integrate successfully EBR’s business and operations with ours could lead to inefficiencies, the loss of staff or revenues below what we anticipated at the time of the acquisition.

Revenues from EBR may be affected by a variety of factors that are outside of our control.

Revenues from our EBR represented 71% of our total revenues in our fiscal year 2023. Future revenues from EBR may be affected by factors that are outside of our control, including:

the appearance, safety, economic health and ability to continue to attract visitors willing to rent electric vehicles at the Portside Ventura marina;

the ability to successfully operate our rental operation in Ventura, California that was opened during the quarter ending May 31, 2023, with 6 boats;

the ability to successfully operate our rental operation in Palm Beach, Florida that was opened during the current quarter with 6 boats;

the continued desirability of boat rentals as a leisure activity; and

the local economic condition in and around the areas we offer rentals or may offer rentals in the future.

If EBR’s revenues decrease significantly, it may cease to be profitable or our revenues may not be as large as we currently project which may have a negative impact on the book value of the goodwill associated with the boat rental operations.

A portion of our assets consist of debentures in a third-party, and the ability of that third-party to repay those debentures is outside of our control. If those debentures were not to be repaid in full, our assets could be significantly reduced

On May 14, 2021, we purchased $3,400,000 in debentures (the “Debentures”) from The Limestone Boat Company Limited (“Limestone”). Limestone is a North American designer and manufacturer of recreational and commercial powerboats. Because (i) Limestone announced that in January 2023 that its wholly-owned subsidiaries had filed for voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Middle District of Tennessee, (ii) the market price of Limestone’s common shares had fallen significantly below the conversion price set out in the Debentures and (iii) because we deemed it unlikely that we would convert the debt pursuant to the original terms of the Debentures, the Company agreed to give Limestone the right to convert the Debentures into common shares of Limestone at a conversion price of $0.071, which was approved by the shareholders of Limestone and is awaiting the issuance of the Company’s shareholder certificate, following the exercise of the conversion right by Limestone. The Company maintained the fair value of its investment in Limestone at nil as at May 31, 2024 [August 31, 2023 – Nil].

Prior to the conversion, the Company had recorded an impairment on the entire value of the Debentures at the amount of $2,637,000 for the year ended August 31, 2023.

The range of electric powerboats on a single charge declines over time which may negatively influence potential customers’ decisions whether to purchase our boats or boats containing our electric powertrains.

The range of electric powerboats on a single charge declines principally as a function of usage, time and charging patterns. For example, a customer’s use of their powerboat as well as the frequency with which they charge the battery can result in additional deterioration of the battery’s ability to hold a charge. During the lifetime of the lead acid batteries in powerboats, 500 to 1,000 recharge cycles are possible, and our lithium battery pack will retain approximately 85% of its ability to hold its initial charge after approximately 3,000 charge cycles and 8 years, which will result in a decrease to the boat’s initial range. Such battery deterioration and the related decrease in range may negatively influence potential customer decisions whether to purchase an electric boat, which may harm our ability to market and sell our boats. Likewise, if such reasoning deters potential customers from purchasing boats made by OEMs that use our electric powertrains, they may order fewer electric powertrains from us, if they ever order any at all.

Developments in alternative technologies or improvements in the internal combustion engine may materially adversely affect the demand for our electric powerboats.

Significant developments in alternative technologies, such as advanced diesel, ethanol, fuel cells or compressed natural gas, or improvements in the fuel economy of the internal combustion engine, may materially and adversely affect our business and prospects in ways we do not currently anticipate. For example, fuel which is abundant and relatively inexpensive in North America, such as compressed natural gas, may emerge as consumers’ preferred alternative to petroleum-based propulsion. Any failure by us to develop new or enhanced technologies or processes, or to react to changes in existing technologies, could materially delay our development and introduction of new and enhanced electric powerboats, which could result in the loss of competitiveness of our boats, decreased revenue and a loss of market share to competitors.

If we are unable to keep up with advances in electric powerboat technology, we may lose our competitive position in the industry.

We may be unable to keep up with changes in electric powerboats technology, particularly developments with powertrains. As a result, we may lose our competitive position in the industry. Any failure to keep up with advances in electric powerboat technology could result in a loss of our competitive position which would materially and adversely affect our business, prospects, operating results and financial condition. Our research and development efforts may not be sufficient to adapt to changes in electric powerboat technology. As technologies change, we plan to upgrade or adapt our electric powertrain. We would additionally upgrade our boats and introduce new models to take advantage of these changes. However, our technology and boats may not compete effectively with alternative technology or powerboats if we are not able to source and integrate the latest technology. For example, we do not manufacture lead or lithium battery cells, and as a result, we are dependent on suppliers of battery cell technology for our battery packs.

Demand in the powerboat industry is highly volatile.

Fluctuations in demand for recreational powerboats and electric powerboats may materially and adversely affect our business, prospects, operating results and financial condition. The markets in which we compete have been subject to considerable volatility in demand in recent periods. Demand for recreational powerboat and electric powerboat sales depends to a large extent on general, economic and social conditions in a given market. Historically, sales of recreational powerboats decrease during economic downturns. We have fewer financial resources than more established powerboat manufacturers to withstand adverse changes in the market and disruptions in demand.

Unfavorable weather conditions may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations, especially during the peak boating season.

Adverse weather conditions in any year, in any particular geographic region, may adversely affect sales in that particular geographic region, especially during the peak boating season in such particular geographic region. Sales of our products are generally stronger just before and during spring and summer, which represent the peak boating months in most of our markets, and favorable weather during these months generally has a positive effect on consumer demand for our products. Conversely, unseasonably cool weather, excessive rainfall, reduced rainfall levels, or drought conditions during these periods may close area boating locations or render boating dangerous or inconvenient, thereby generally reducing consumer demand for our products. Our annual results would be materially and adversely affected if our net sales were to fall below expected seasonal levels during these periods. We may also experience more pronounced seasonal fluctuation in net sales in the future as we continue to expand our businesses. Additionally, to the extent that unfavorable weather conditions are exacerbated by global climate change or otherwise, our sales may be affected to a greater degree than we have previously experienced. Adverse weather could also affect income from our rental business as we tend to rent significantly less boats on rainy or otherwise unappealing days than on sunny and attractive ones. If we experience more rainy or otherwise unappealing days at our marinas than normal, our income from the rental of electric boats could materially decline.

We intend to increasingly use our network of independent dealers, and we will face increasing competition for dealers and have little control over their activities.

Currently, most of our sales are directly placed with us online, but approximately 67% of our sales of electric boats in the nine-month period ended May 31, 2024 were derived from our network of independent dealers. We have agreements with dealers in our network that typically provide for terms of between 1 and 3 years. While we will continue to market direct sales through our website, we seek to increase revenues and diversify our sales points by expanding our network of independent dealers. We envision an increase in the number of dealers supporting our products and the quality of their marketing and servicing efforts being essential to our ability to increase sales. We may not be successful in our effort to grow our network of independent dealers.

Competition for dealers among recreational powerboat manufacturers continues to increase based on the quality, price, value and availability of the manufacturers’ products, the manufacturers’ attention to customer service and the marketing support that manufacturers provide to dealers. We will face intense competition from other recreational powerboat manufacturers in attracting and retaining dealers, and we might not be able to attract or retain relationships with qualified and successful dealers as well as our competition, if at all. We might not be able to maintain or improve our relationship with dealers or our market share position. In addition, independent dealers in the recreational powerboat industry have experienced significant consolidation in recent years, which could inhibit our ability to retain them or result in the loss of one or more of our dealers in the future if the surviving entity in any such consolidation purchases similar products from a competitor. If we do not establish a significant network of dealers, our future sales could fail to meet our projections, and our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.

We envision that our success will depend, in part, upon the financial health of our dealers and their continued access to financing.

We seek to increase revenues and diversify our sales points by expanding our network of independent dealers. The financial health of our current and any future dealers is critical to our success. Our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected if the financial health of dealers that sell our products suffers. Their financial health may suffer for a variety of reasons, including a downturn in general economic conditions, rising interest rates, higher rents, increased labor costs and taxes, compliance with regulations and personal financial issues.

In addition, dealers require adequate liquidity to finance operations, including purchases of our products. Dealers are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties that could unfavorably affect their liquidity positions, including, among other things, continued access to adequate financing sources on a timely basis on reasonable terms. These sources of financing are vital to our ability to sell products through our distribution network. Access to floor plan financing generally facilitates dealers’ ability to purchase powerboats from us, and their financed purchases reduce our working capital requirements. If floor plan financing were not available to our dealers, our sales and our working capital levels could be adversely affected. The availability and terms of financing offered by dealers’ floor plan financing providers will continue to be influenced by:

their ability to access certain capital markets and to fund their operations in a cost-effective manner;

the performance of their overall credit portfolios;

their willingness to accept the risks associated with lending to dealers; and

the overall creditworthiness of those dealers.

Changes to trade policies, tariffs, and import/export regulations may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Although we manufacture our products in Canada, in our last fiscal year approximately 91% of our sales and rentals occurred in the United States, a percentage that could increase as our operations expand. Changes in laws and policies governing foreign trade could adversely affect our business. Such policy changes may place greater restrictions and economic disincentives on international trade and may have the potential to adversely impact the global and local economies, our industry and global demand for our products and, as a result, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Interest rates and energy prices affect marine products’ sales

Although our products are not frequently financed by our dealers and retail powerboat consumers, we envision this becoming more common as we expand our operations and grow our network of distributors. This may not occur if interest rates rise because higher rates increase the borrowing costs and, as a result, the cost of doing business for dealers and the cost of powerboat purchases for consumers. Energy costs can represent a large portion of the costs to manufacture our products and can increase their ultimate sales price. Therefore, higher interest rates and fuel costs can adversely affect consumers’ decisions relating to recreational powerboating purchases.

We have a large fixed cost base that will affect our profitability if our sales decrease.

The fixed cost levels of operating a recreational powerboat manufacturer can put pressure on profit margins when sales and production decline. Our profitability depends, in part, on our ability to spread fixed costs over a large number of products sold and shipped, and if we decide to reduce our rate of production, gross or net margins could be negatively affected. Consequently, decreased demand or the need to reduce production can lower our ability to absorb fixed costs and materially impact our financial condition or results of operations.

We depend on certain key personnel, and our success will depend on our continued ability to retain and attract such qualified personnel.

Our success depends on the efforts, abilities and continued service of Alexandre Mongeon, our Chief Executive Officer, Xavier Montagne, our Chief Operating Officer and Chief Technology Officer, and Raffi Sossoyan, our Chief Financial Officer. A number of these key employees and consultants have significant experience in the recreational boating, manufacturing and electric vehicle industries. A loss of service from any one of these individuals may adversely affect our operations, and we may have difficulty locating, or may not be able to locate and hire a suitable replacement. We have not obtained any “key person” insurance on certain key personnel.

We are subject to numerous environmental, health and safety laws and any breach of such laws may have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results.

We are subject to numerous environmental, health and safety laws, including statutes, regulations, bylaws and other legal requirements. These laws relate to the generation, use, handling, storage, transportation and disposal of regulated substances, including hazardous substances (such as batteries), dangerous goods and waste, emissions or discharges into soil, water and air, including noise and odors (which could result in remediation obligations), and occupational health and safety matters, including indoor air quality. These regulations also apply to any contamination that our powerboats cause in the lakes and rivers in which they operate. These legal requirements vary by location and can arise under federal, provincial, state or municipal laws. Any breach of such laws and/or requirements could have a material adverse effect on our company and its operating results.

Our powerboats are subject to mandated safety standards and failure to meet those standards could have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results.

Given the inherent dangers involved with powerboats, all powerboats sold must comply with federal, state and provincial safety standards. Additionally, most powerboats sold in the United States meet the safety standards set by the American Boat and Yacht Counsel (“ABYC”), a non-profit, member organization that develops voluntary safety standards for the design, construction, maintenance, and repair of recreational powerboats and the National Marine Manufacturers Association (“NMMA”). Our powerboats have been certified by the United States Coast Guard and the Canadian Coast Guard, meet the ABYC safety standards and have received CE marking indicating their conformity with health, safety, and environmental protection standards within the European Economic Area. Loss of any of these certifications or failure to obtain them for future products could have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results.

We intend to rely on a third-party for the manufacture of what we envision will become our principal product.

If we are able to commercialize our E-Motion™ electric powertrain system, we intend to use a third-party to mass produce our powertrains. In October 2021, we entered into a Manufacture and Supply Agreement with Linamar Corporation, a provider of manufacturing solutions and a developer of highly engineered products. Under the terms of the agreement, we intend for McLaren Engineering, Linamar’s technology and product development team for its advanced mobility segment, to manufacture and assemble our E-Motion™ technology through testing, parts, tooling development, and designing the union assembly for mass production of our electric powertrain at Linamar’s facility in Canada. Once we have scaled up the production of our electric powertrain, we intend for the Linamar Corporation to produce our electric powertrain for mass commercialization. If Linamar Corporation is unable to satisfactorily manufacture our E-Motion™ powertrains, we will be forced to find a new third-party manufacturer or to produce such powertrains inhouse (with our current facilities we believe that we are limited to producing 300 electric powertrains per year in addition to producing 150 boats per year). Any such change in manufacturers could lead to a delay in our ability to deliver on purchase orders or the loss of such purchase orders, which in turn could adversely affect our revenue or the timing of our revenue.

If we are unable to meet the service requirements of our customers, our business will be materially and adversely affected.

We do not offer warranties or provide service for our boats and do not intend to offer warranties on our powertrains systems. Instead, the purchasers of our boats and of our powertrains may rely upon the warranties and services of the manufacturers of the components used in our boats and powertrains. As all such warranties are provided by third-party suppliers, the quality and timeliness of such service is outside of our control. Additionally, the terms of such warranties, including the length of time of coverage, and servicing terms, including locations and labor cost, are not uniform. If our purchasers and potential purchasers believe that warranties and servicing capabilities provided by our third-party suppliers are inadequate, the reputation of our brand will suffer and business and prospects could be materially and adversely affected.

If we are unable to meet our production and development goals, we may need to change our business plans or the timeline in which we expect to carry them out.

Our ability to carry out our business plans depends upon meeting our production and development goals. Delays or failures in meeting these goals could require us to reassess our business plans and the timeline that it will take us to implement those plans. In the past, we have not always met our production and development goals. For example, we expected to manufacture approximately 50 powerboats, and begin commercialization of our electric powertrains in calendar 2023, and we did not meet these goals. If any such delays or failures were to cause a material change to our proposed business plans, such change could result in materially adverse changes in our projected revenues or expenses.

We may not succeed in establishing, maintaining and strengthening the Vision Marine brand, which could materially and adversely affect customer acceptance of our boats and components and our business, revenues and prospects.

Our business and prospects heavily depend on our ability to develop, maintain and strengthen the Vision Marine brand and the brands of our powerboat models. Any failure to develop, maintain and strengthen these brands may materially and adversely affect our ability to sell our products. If we are not able to establish, maintain and strengthen our brands, we may lose the opportunity to build our customer base. We expect that our ability to develop, maintain and strengthen the Vision Marine brand will also depend heavily on the success of our marketing efforts. To further promote our brand, we may be required to change our marketing practices, which could result in substantially increased advertising expenses, including the need to use traditional media such as television, radio and print. Many of our current and potential competitors have greater name recognition, broader customer relationships and substantially greater marketing resources than we do. If we do not develop and maintain strong brands, our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results will be materially and adversely impacted.

Increases in costs, disruption of supply or shortage of raw materials, in particular lithium-ion cells, could harm our business.

Although we do not materially use raw materials in the production of our electronic powerboats, we purchase the necessary parts and components for our boats from third-party suppliers that do. Were those third-party suppliers to experience increases in the cost or a sustained interruption in the supply or shortage of raw materials, the corresponding parts and components could become more costly or less available (if still available at all). We are particularly exposed to a supply-chain risk as we have not contractually secured long-term supply commitments at fixed prices with our third-party suppliers. The prices for these raw materials fluctuate depending on market conditions and global demand for these materials and price fluctuations and material shortages could adversely affect our business and operating results. For instance, we are exposed to multiple risks relating to price fluctuations for lithium-ion cells. These risks include:

the inability or unwillingness of current battery manufacturers to build or operate battery cell manufacturing plants to supply the numbers of lithium-ion cells required to meet demand;

disruption in the supply of cells due to quality issues or recalls by the battery cell manufacturers; and

an increase in the cost of raw materials, such as cobalt, used in lithium-ion cells.

Our business depends on the continued supply of battery cells for our boats. We do not currently have any agreements for the supply of batteries and depend upon the open market for their procurement. Any disruption in the supply of battery cells from our supplier could temporarily disrupt the planned production of our boats until such time as a different supplier is fully qualified. Moreover, battery cell manufacturers may choose to refuse to supply electric boat manufacturers to the extent they determine that the boats are not sufficiently safe. Furthermore, current fluctuations or shortages in petroleum and other economic conditions may cause us to experience significant increases in freight charges and raw material costs. Substantial increases in the prices for our raw materials would increase our operating costs and could reduce our margins if we cannot recoup the increased costs through increased electric boat prices. We might not be able to recoup increasing costs of raw materials by increasing boat prices. We publish the price for the base model of our powerboats. However, any attempts to increase the published prices in response to increased raw material costs could be viewed negatively by our potential customers, result in cancellations of orders and could materially adversely affect our brand, image, business, prospects and operating results.

If our suppliers sell us parts or components containing conflict minerals, we may be required at significant expense to find suppliers that do not use conflict minerals.

In 2010, Congress passed the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (“Dodd-Frank Act”) requiring the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) to issue rules specifically relating to the use of “Conflict Minerals” within manufactured products. Conflict Minerals are currently defined by U.S. Law as tin, tantalum, tungsten and gold (also known as “3TG”) and related derivatives. Within a year of becoming a public company, the SEC rules require any SEC registrant whose commercial products contain any 3TG (“3TG Product”) to determine whether the 3TG in the 3TG Product originated from the Democratic Republic of the Congo (“DRC”) or adjoining countries (collectively, the “DRC Region”) and, if so, whether the 3TG is “conflict free”. “3TG Conflict Free” means that the supply chain is transparent and the 3TG in 3TG Products does not directly or indirectly benefit armed groups responsible for serious human rights abuses in the DRC Region. By enacting this provision, Congress intends to further the humanitarian goal of ending the extremely violent conflict in the DRC Region, which has been partially financed by the exploitation and trade of 3TG originating in the DRC Region.

We will need to expend time and money on determining whether our products contain conflict minerals. If our suppliers use conflict minerals in the production of the parts and components that we purchase from them, we may need to find alternative suppliers. If possible, this may only be possible at significant expense or with material delays in production.

Our software to control our electric powertrain systems contains “open source” software, and any failure to comply with the terms of one or more of these open-source licenses could negatively affect our business.

We use software to control our electric powertrain systems that relies upon “open source” licenses and intend to use such software in the future. Although we do not believe that the open source code we have used imposes any limitations on the use of the software that we have developed, the terms of many open source licenses have not been interpreted by United States or other courts, and there is a risk that these licenses could be construed in a manner that could impose unanticipated conditions or restrictions on our ability to commercialize our solutions including requirements that we make available source code for modifications or derivative works we create based upon the open source software or license such modifications or derivative works. In addition to risks related to license requirements, usage of open-source software can lead to greater risks than use of third-party commercial software, as open-source licensors generally do not provide warranties or controls on origin of the software. We cannot be sure that all open source is submitted for approval prior to use in our solutions. In addition, many of the risks associated with use of open source cannot be eliminated, and could, if not properly addressed, negatively affect the performance of our electric powertrains and our business.

We rely on network and information systems and other technologies for our business activities and certain events, such as computer hackings, viruses or other destructive or disruptive software or activities may disrupt our operations, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Network and information systems and other technologies are important to our business activities and operations. Network and information systems-related events, such as computer hackings, cyber threats, security breaches, viruses, or other destructive or disruptive software, process breakdowns or malicious or other activities could result in a disruption of our services and operations or improper disclosure of personal data or confidential information, which could damage our reputation and require us to expend resources to remedy any such breaches. Moreover, the amount and scope of insurance we maintain against losses resulting from any such events or security breaches may not be sufficient to cover our losses or otherwise adequately compensate us for any disruptions to our businesses that may result, and the occurrence of any such events or security breaches could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations. The risk of these systems-related events and security breaches occurring has intensified, in part because we maintain certain information necessary to conduct our businesses in digital form stored on cloud servers. While we develop and maintain systems seeking to prevent systems-related events and security breaches from occurring, the development and maintenance of these systems is costly and requires ongoing monitoring and updating as technologies change and efforts to overcome security measures become more sophisticated. Despite these efforts, there can be no assurance that disruptions and security breaches will not occur in the future. Moreover, we may provide certain confidential, proprietary and personal information to third parties in connection with our businesses, and while we obtain assurances that these third parties will protect this information, there is a risk that this information may be compromised. The occurrence of any of such network or information systems-related events or security breaches could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

If the governmental grants and tax credits that we receive were to be no longer available, our net earnings would be materially reduced.

We receive governmental benefits in connection with our operations. In connection with the production of our powerboats and our research into green technology, we have been able to receive tax credits and grants provided by the Quebec provincial government and the Canadian federal government. During the nine-month period ended May 31, 2024, the Company recognized $45,792 in grants and investment tax credits. We intend to continue applying for such grants and receiving such tax credits. Without such grants and tax credits, our net loss in each of the past two fiscal years would have been larger. If they were no longer available, our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results could be adversely affected.

The unavailability, reduction or elimination of government economic incentives could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, operating results and prospects.

Although we are unaware of substantial governmental economic incentives, such as tax credits and rebates, that customers may receive in connection with the purchase of our products, there are certain governmental regulations whose repeal could affect the desirability of our powerboats. In particular, local and regional restrictions of internal combustion engines on certain waterways, make electric boats an attractive alternative for use in such lakes and rivers. Any reduction, elimination or discriminatory application of such rules because of policy changes or other reasons may result in the diminished competitiveness of electric boats generally. This could materially and adversely affect the growth of our market and our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results.

If we fail to manage future growth effectively, we may not be able to market or sell our powerboats or powertrains successfully.

Any failure to manage our growth effectively could materially and adversely affect our business, prospects, operating results and financial condition. We plan to expand our operations in the near future. Our future operating results depend to a large extent on our ability to manage this expansion and growth successfully. Risks that we face in undertaking this expansion include:

training new personnel;

forecasting production and revenue;

expanding our marketing efforts, including the marketing of a new powertrain that we use;

controlling expenses and investments in anticipation of expanded operations;

establishing or expanding design, manufacturing, sales and service facilities;

implementing and enhancing administrative infrastructure, systems and processes; and

addressing new markets.

We intend to continue to hire a number of additional personnel, including design and manufacturing personnel and service technicians for our electric boats and powertrains. Competition for individuals with experience designing, manufacturing and servicing electric boats is intense, and we may not be able to attract, assimilate, train or retain additional highly qualified personnel in the future. The failure to attract, integrate, train, motivate and retain these additional employees could seriously harm our business and prospects.

Our business may be adversely affected by labor and union activities.

None of our employees are currently represented by a labor union. It is common in Quebec for employees of manufacturers of a certain size to belong to a union. Although we do not believe that we are currently of a size where our employees will unionize, were they to do so now or in the future, we would be at risk for higher employee costs and increased risk of work stoppages. We also directly and indirectly depend upon other companies with unionized work forces, such as parts suppliers and trucking and freight companies, and work stoppages or strikes organized by such unions could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition or operating results. If a work stoppage occurs among our key suppliers or our network of distributors, it could materially reduce the manufacture and sale of our boats and have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, operating results or financial condition.

Our ability to meet our manufacturing workforce needs is crucial to our results of operations and future sales and profitability.

We rely on the existence of an available hourly workforce to manufacture our products. We cannot assure you that we will be able to attract and retain qualified employees to meet current or future manufacturing needs at a reasonable cost, or at all. For instance, the demand for skilled employees has increased recently with the low unemployment rates in the regions where we have manufacturing facilities. Also, although none of our employees are currently covered by collective bargaining agreements, we cannot assure you that our employees will not elect to be represented by labor unions in the future. Additionally, competition for qualified employees could require us to pay higher wages to attract a sufficient number of employees. Significant increases in manufacturing workforce costs could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

We compete with a variety of other activities for consumers’ leisure time.

Our powerboats are used for recreational and sport purposes, and demand for our powerboats may be adversely affected by competition from other activities that occupy consumers’ leisure time and by changes in consumer lifestyle, usage pattern or taste. Similarly, an overall decrease in consumer leisure time may reduce consumers’ willingness to purchase and enjoy our products.

Product liability, warranty, personal injury, property damage and recall claims may materially affect our financial condition and damage our reputation.

We are engaged in a business that exposes us to claims of product liability and warranty claims in the event our products actually or allegedly fail to perform as expected or the use of our products results, or is alleged to result, in property damage, personal injury or death. Our products involve kinetic energy, produce physical motion and are to be used on the water, factors which increase the likelihood of injury or death. Our products contain Lithium-ion batteries, which have been known to catch fire or vent smoke and flame, and chemicals which are known to be, or could later be proved to be, toxic carcinogenic. Any personal injury or wrongful death claim could, even if not justified, prove expensive to contest.

We do not provide warranties for our powerboats but instead rely upon the warranties provided by the third-party manufacturers from whom we purchase the components for our powerboats. Although we maintain product and general liability insurance of the types and in the amounts that we believe are customary for the industry, we are not fully insured against all such potential claims. We may experience legal claims in excess of our insurance coverage or claims that are not covered by insurance, either of which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Adverse determination of material product liability and warranty claims made against us could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and harm our reputation. In addition, if any of our products or components in our products are, or are alleged to be, defective, we may be required to participate in a recall of that product or component if the defect or alleged defect relates to safety. Any such recall and other claims could be costly to us and require substantial management attention.

Our intellectual property is not protected through patents or formal copyright registration. As a result, we do not have the full benefit of patent or copyright laws to prevent others from replicating our products, product candidates and brands.

Apart from trademark applications that we filed with the Canadian Intellectual Property Office and the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for our logo and the brand name “E-Motion”, we have not protected our intellectual property rights through patents or formal copyright or trademark registration, and we do not currently have any patent applications pending. As we intend to transition into the production of electric powertrains to OEMs, we envision our intellectual property and its security becoming more vital to our future. Until we protect our intellectual property through patent, trademarks and registered copyrights, we may not be able to protect our intellectual property and trade secrets or prevent others from independently developing substantially equivalent proprietary information and techniques or from otherwise gaining access to our intellectual property or trade secrets. In such an instance, our competitors could produce products that are nearly identical to ours resulting in us selling less products or generating less revenue from our sales.

Confidentiality agreements with employees and others may not adequately prevent disclosure of trade secrets and other proprietary information.

We rely on trade secrets, know-how and technology, which are not protected by patents, to protect the intellectual property behind our electric powertrain and for the construction of our boats. We do not yet use confidentiality agreements with our collaborators, employees, consultants, outside scientific collaborators and sponsored researchers and other advisors to protect our proprietary technology and processes. We intend to use such agreements in the future, but these agreements may not effectively prevent disclosure of confidential information and may not provide an adequate remedy in the event of unauthorized disclosure of confidential information. In addition, others may independently discover trade secrets and proprietary information, and in such cases we could not assert any trade secret rights against such party. Costly and time-consuming litigation could be necessary to enforce and determine the scope of our proprietary rights, and failure to obtain or maintain trade secret protection could adversely affect our competitive business position.

Any patent applications that we file may not result in issued patents, which may have a material adverse effect on our ability to prevent others from interfering with our commercialization of our products

Although we have retained a patent lawyer to begin the process of filing patent applications for up to 24 patents related to our E-Motion™ electric powertrain system, to date, we have filed five completed patent applications. The registration and enforcement of patents involves complex legal and factual questions and the breadth and effectiveness of patented claims is uncertain. If we file patent applications in connection with our electric outboard powertrain systems or other matters, we cannot be certain that we will be first to file patent applications on those or other inventions, nor can we be certain that such patent applications will result in issued patents or that any of our issued patents will afford sufficient protection against someone creating competing products, or as a defensive portfolio against a competitor who claims that we are infringing its patents. In addition, patent applications filed in foreign countries are subject to laws, rules and procedures that differ from those of the United States, and thus we cannot be certain that foreign patent applications, if any, will result in issued patents in those foreign jurisdictions or that such patents can be effectively enforced, even if they relate to patents issued in the United States.

We have limited registered trademarks for our products and trade names

We have submitted applications for registered trademarks for our name and some of our brands, and, while such applications have been granted, not all of our brands currently have registered trademark protection. Any future trademark applications that we file with a relevant governmental authority for brand names/logos might not be approved. Failure to obtain such approval could limit our ability to use the brand names/logos in those territories or lead our products to be confused with, and/or tarnished by, competing products. Even if appropriate applications were made and approved, third parties may oppose or otherwise challenge such applications or registrations.

We may need to defend ourselves against patent or trademark infringement claims, which may be time-consuming and would cause us to incur substantial costs.

The status of the protection of our intellectual property is unsettled as we do not have any patents, trademarks or registered copyrights and have not applied for the same. Companies, organizations or individuals, including our competitors, may hold or obtain patents, trademarks or other proprietary rights that would prevent, limit or interfere with our ability to make, use, develop, sell or market our powerboats and electric powertrains or use third-party components, which could make it more difficult for us to operate our business. From time to time, we may receive communications from third parties that allege our products or components thereof are covered by their patents or trademarks or other intellectual property rights. Companies holding patents or other intellectual property rights may bring suits alleging infringement of such rights or otherwise assert their rights. If we are determined to have infringed upon a third party’s intellectual property rights, we may be required to do one or more of the following:

cease making, using, selling or offering to sell processes, goods or services that incorporate or use the third-party intellectual property;

pay substantial damages;

seek a license from the holder of the infringed intellectual property right, which license may not be available on reasonable terms or at all;

redesign our boats or other goods or services to avoid infringing the third-party intellectual property;

establish and maintain alternative branding for our products and services; or

find-third providers of any part or service that is the subject of the intellectual property claim.

In the event of a successful claim of infringement against us and our failure or inability to obtain a license to the infringed technology or other intellectual property right, our business, prospects, operating results and financial condition could be materially adversely affected. In addition, any litigation or claims, whether or not valid, could result in substantial costs, negative publicity and diversion of resources and management attention.

You may face difficulties in protecting your interests, and your ability to protect your rights through the U.S. federal courts may be limited because we are incorporated under the laws of the Province of Quebec, a substantial portion of our assets are in Canada and the majority of our directors and executive officers reside outside the United States.

We are constituted under the laws of the Business Corporations Act (Quebec) (the “Business Corporation Act”), and our executive offices are located outside of the United States in Boisbriand, Quebec. Our officers and the majority of our directors reside outside the United States. In addition, a substantial portion of their assets and our assets are located outside of the United States. As a result, you may have difficulty serving legal process within the United States upon us or any of these persons. You may also have difficulty enforcing, both in and outside of the United States, judgments you may obtain in U.S. courts against us or these persons in any action, including actions based upon the civil liability provisions of U.S. Federal or state securities laws. Furthermore, there is substantial doubt as to the enforceability in Canada against us or against any of our directors and officers who are not residents of the United States, in original actions or in actions for enforcement of judgments of U.S. courts, of liabilities based solely upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws. In addition, shareholders in Quebec corporations may not have standing to initiate a shareholder derivative action in U.S. federal courts.

As a result, our public shareholders may have more difficulty in protecting their interests through actions against us, our management, our directors or our major shareholders than would shareholders of a corporation incorporated in a jurisdiction in the United States.

Global economic conditions could materially adversely impact demand for our products and services.

Our operations and performance depend significantly on economic conditions. Global financial conditions continue to be subject to volatility arising from international geopolitical developments and global economic phenomenon, as well as general financial market turbulence, including growing inflationary concerns, resulting in a significant reduction in many major market indices. Uncertainty about global economic conditions could result in

customers postponing purchases of our products and services in response to tighter credit, unemployment, negative financial news and/or declines in income or asset values and other macroeconomic factors, which could have a material negative effect on demand for our products and services; and

third-party suppliers being unable to produce parts and components for our products in the same quantity or on the same timeline or being unable to deliver such parts and components as quickly as before or subject to price fluctuations, which could have a material adverse effect on our production or the cost of such production; and

accordingly, on our business, results of operations or financial condition. Access to public financing and credit can be negatively affected by the effect of these events on Canadian, U.S. and global credit markets. The health of the global financing and credit markets may affect our ability to obtain equity or debt financing in the future and the terms at which financing or credit is available to us. These instances of volatility and market turmoil could adversely affect our operations and the trading price of our common shares.

Our business may be materially affected by future pandemics

Potential future pandemics may disrupt our business and operational plans. These disruptions may include disruptions resulting from (i) shortages of employees, (ii) unavailability of contractors and subcontractors, (iii) interruption of, or price fluctuations in, supplies from third parties upon which we rely, (iv) restrictions that governments impose to address the pandemic, and (v) restrictions that we and our contractors and subcontractors impose to ensure the safety of employees and others. Such pandemics may disrupt our supply chain by increasing the amount of time between ordering third-party materials needed for our boats and their delivery. Delays in our supply chain could adversely impact our production and, in turn, our revenues. These disruptions may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Such adverse effect could be rapid and unexpected.

Fluctuations in currency exchange rates may significantly impact our results of operations.

Our operations are conducted in the United States and Canada, but approximately 95% of our sales and rentals for the nine-month period ended May 31, 2024 have occurred in the United States. As a result, we are exposed to an exchange rate risk between U.S. and Canadian dollars. The exchange rates between these currencies in recent years have fluctuated significantly and may continue to do so in the future. In our fiscal 2023, the monthly average exchange rate as published by the Bank of Canada ranged from a high of US$1.3700:$1.00 to a low of US$1.3215:$1.00. An appreciation of the Canadian dollar against the U.S. dollar could increase the relative cost of our products outside of Canada, which could lead to decreased sales. Conversely, to the extent that we are required to pay for goods or services in U.S. dollars, the depreciation of the Canadian dollar against the U.S. dollar would increase the cost of such goods and services.

We do not hedge our currency exposure and, therefore, we incur currency transaction risk whenever we enter into either a purchase or sale transaction using a currency other than the Canadian dollar. Given the volatility of exchange rates, we might not be able to effectively manage our currency transaction risks, and volatility in currency exchange rates might have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

If we experience material weaknesses or otherwise fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls over financial reporting, we may not be able to accurately or timely report our financial condition or results of operations, which may adversely affect investor confidence in us and, as a result, the value of our common shares.

As a result of the year-end assessment process for the year ended August 31, 2023, we identified that we did not maintain effective processes and controls over the accounting for and reporting of complex and non-routine transactions due to a material weakness. Specifically, we determined that there was a lack of sufficient accounting and finance personnel to enable appropriate level of internal controls within the financial statement close process, including performing in-depth analysis and review of complex accounting matters and non-routine transactions within the timeframes set by us for filing our consolidated financial statements. Because of this deficiency, we concluded there was a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis at August 31, 2023. As at May 31, 2024, we are working on remediating the identified material weakness.

If we fail to identify or remediate any current or future material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting, we are unable to conclude that our internal controls over financial reporting are effective or if our independent registered public accounting firm is unable to express an opinion as to the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting when we are no longer an emerging growth company, investors may lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports and the market price of our common shares could be negatively affected. As a result of such failures, we could also become subject to investigations by Nasdaq, the SEC or other regulatory authorities, and become subject to litigation from investors and shareholders, which could harm our reputation and financial condition or divert financial and management resources from our regular business activities.

	-	Expected working capital cash absorption ratio for the CGU of 20% of annual incremental sales increases.
	-	Expected annual capital expenditure needs for the CGU of US$56,500 for the remainder of 2024, US$126,000 in 2025, US$346,800 in 2026, US$594,259 in 2027, US$229,820 in 2028, US$234,310 in 2029 and US$238,876 annually thereafter.

Any reasonable negative change in these key assumptions could cause additional impairment of the CGU.

During the three-month period ended May 31, 2024, the Company incurred a net loss of $3,025,977 compared to a net loss of $3,095,219 for the corresponding prior period. The decrease in net loss was due primarily to an improved gross profit and lower operating costs which were partially offset by an increase in the loss attributable to mark to market valuations of its derivative liabilities at the balance sheet date. Overall, the Company’s operating expenses for the three-month period ended May 31, 2024 were $2,875,125 (May 31, 2023: $4,148,739), representing a 31% decrease when compared to the corresponding prior period.

Research, development and integration costs for the three-month period ended May 31, 2024 were $628,578 (May 31, 2023: $794,528); the decrease was due to the Company moving towards the production of its E-Motion™ powertrains, thus reducing research and development costs during the period which was partially offset by the fitting of the Company’s E-Motion™ powertrains to third party prototypes for testing purposes.

Office salaries and benefits for three-month period ended May 31, 2024 were $791,409 (May 31, 2023: $899,864). The decrease is due to reduced staffing since the beginning of the current fiscal year.

Selling and marketing expenses for the three-month period ended May 31, 2024 were $269,636 (May 31, 2023: $525,852) due to less attendance at boat shows, and decreased marketing and investor relations costs.

Office and general expenses for the three-month period ended May 31, 2024, were $388,221 (May 31, 2023: $523,835). The decrease is due to cost-cutting measures the Company began implementing since the beginning of the current fiscal year.

Share-based compensation for the three-month period ended May 31, 2024 decreased to $46,270 (May 31, 2023: $628,923).

Net finance expense for the three-month period ended May 31, 2024 amounted to $442,831 (May 31, 2023: net finance income of $1,477,040). This fluctuation was caused by mark to market valuations of the Company’s derivative liabilities at the balance sheet date which resulted in a $1,551,616 gain on May 31, 2023 versus a $404,444 loss on May 31, 2024.

Nine-month period ended May 31, 2024

Revenue for the nine-month month period ended May 31, 2024 was $891,447 (May 31, 2023: $996,190); the decrease of 11% resulted from a decrease in sales of electric boats which was partially offset by an increase in the revenue generated by the Company’s rental operations in Ventura, California. The Company’s gross profit increased to $54,027 (May 31, 2023: gross loss of $627,014) due to the reduction in input costs related to the sale of boats and the onerous provision of $220,000 due to the expected loss on sales of E-Motion™ during the corresponding prior period. The following provides an analysis of the sale of electric boats and revenue from rental operations:

	Nine-month period ended May 31, 2024		Nine-month period ended May 31, 2023		Increase (Decrease)

During the nine-month period ended May 31, 2024, the Company incurred a net loss of $10,407,997 compared to a net loss of $16,582,939 for the corresponding prior period.

Overall, the Company’s operating expenses for the nine-month period ended May 31, 2024 were $10,305,918 (May 31, 2023: $14,240,029), representing a 31% decrease when compared to the corresponding prior period.

Office salaries and benefits for the nine-month period ended May 31, 2024 were $2,696,935 (May 31, 2023: $2,725,049). The decrease is due to reduced staffing since the beginning of the current fiscal year.

For the nine-month period ended May 31, 2024, the Company realized net finance income of $3,953,787 (May 31, 2023: net finance expense of $1,367,798). This positive variance was caused primarily by gains on derivative liabilities of $5,913,484 (May 31, 2023: $1,613,058) related to the fair value adjustments caused by the issuance of warrants and preferred shares which are classified as derivative liabilities for accounting purposes rather than equity, partially offset by transaction costs of $1,860,335 (May 31, 2023: $489,096) related primarily to the Series A and B Convertible Preferred Share issuances.

Included in the net finance expense for the corresponding prior period was an impairment on an investment. The Company impaired its investment in convertible debentures in The Limestone Boat Company due to Limestone announcing that its wholly-owned subsidiaries have filed for voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Middle District of Tennessee. As a result, the Company had impaired 100% of the value of its investment in Limestone during the nine-month period ending May 31, 2023 realizing a loss of $2,746,667. No loss or gain related to this investment was recognized in the nine-month period ending May 31, 2024.

1.6 Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s operations consist of the designing, developing and manufacturing of electric outboard powertrain systems, rental of electric boats and electric boats sales. The Company’s financial success is dependent upon its ability to market and sell its outboard powertrain systems and electric boats; and to raise sufficient working capital to enable the Company to execute its business plan. The Company’s historical capital needs have been met by internally generated cashflow from operations and the support of its shareholders. During the year ended August 31, 2021, the Company raised gross proceeds of US$27,600,000 from its initial public offering onto the Nasdaq and during the year ended August 31, 2023, the Company raised $12,437,523. In addition, during the nine-month period ended May 31, 2024, the Company raised $8,326,492. However, should the Company need further funding, there is no assurance that equity funding will be possible at the times required by the Company. If no funds can be raised and sales of its outboard powertrain systems and electric boats does not produce sufficient net cash flow, then the Company may require a significant curtailing of operations to ensure its survival.

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The Company generated net loss before tax from continuing operations of $10,770,027 and net loss from continuing operations of $10,699,240 during the nine-month period ended May 31, 2024 and has a cash balance and a working capital surplus of $341,308 and $4,961,637, respectively, as at May 31, 2024. The Company’s ability to meet its obligations as they fall due and to continue to operate as a going concern is dependent on the continued financial support of the creditors and the shareholders. In the past, the Company has relied on the support of its shareholders to meet its cash requirements. There can be no assurance that funding from this or other sources will be sufficient in the future to continue its operations. Even if the Company is able to obtain new financing, it may not be on commercially reasonable terms or terms that are acceptable to it. Failure to obtain such financing on a timely basis could cause the Company to reduce or terminate its operations.

The Company is evaluating several different strategies and is actively pursuing actions that are expected to increase its liquidity position, including, but not limited to, pursuing additional cost savings initiatives, seeking additional financing from both the public and private markets through the issuance of equity securities, and potentially selling assets which do not align with the Company’s outlook of future operations. However, the Company's management cannot provide assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its proposed financing plans. These matters, when considered in aggregate, indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for at least 12 months from the issuance of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the nine-month period ended May 31, 2024.

As of July 15, 2024, the Company had 12,780,336 issued and outstanding common shares and 28,288,876 on a fully diluted basis.

The Company had $4,961,637 of working capital surplus as at May 31, 2024 compared to $3,636,936 working capital surplus as at August 31, 2023. The increase in working capital surplus during the nine-month period ended May 31, 2024 resulted from the cash used in operations of $11,135,794 (May 31, 2023: $11,375,710); cash provided by investing activities of $603,561 (May 31, 2023: cash used in investing activities of $432,514) resulting from the additions to property, equipment and intangibles of $516,116 (May 31, 2023: $834,296); which was offset by proceeds from disposal of equipment of $126,568 (May 31, 2023: $401,782) and net proceeds from the sale of EB Rental, Ltd. of 993,109 (May 31, 2023: nil); financing activities provided cash of $7,514,284 (May 31, 2023: $7,519,572), caused by the issuance of preferred shares, common shares and warrants of $8,326,492 (May 31, 2023: $7,654,373) and an increase in long-term debt of $247,000 (May 31, 2023: $258,000). These increases were partially offset by a decrease in the Company’s credit facility of $155,000 (May 31, 2023: increase of $235,000), the repayment of lease liabilities of $517,597 (May 31, 2023: $533,270) and the repayment of long-term debt of $386,711 (May 31, 2023: $113,242).

1.7 Capital Resources

As at May 31, 2024, the Company had cash of $341,308 (August 31, 2023: $3,359,257).

As of the date of this MD&A, the Company has no outstanding commitments, other than rent and lease commitments and purchase commitments as disclosed in Notes 13, 24 and 26 of the Company’s interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the nine-month period ended May 31, 2024. The Company has pledged its future accounts receivable and inventory as security for its credit facility.

1.8 Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

1.10 Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates and judgments are continuously evaluated and are based on management’s experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual outcomes can differ from these estimates. There were no material changes in estimates other than the estimates with regards to the measurement of derivative liabilities, as outlined in note 15 to the Company's interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the nine-month period ended May 31, 2024, and the estimates with regards to the valuation of the goodwill related to the boat rental operation CGU, as outlined in note 9 to the Company's interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the nine-month period ended May 31, 2024.

1.11 Changes in Accounting Policies including Initial Adoption

See Note 2 of the Company's interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the nine-month period ended May 31, 2024. The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended August 31, 2023.

1.12 Controls and procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures

The CEO and the CFO have designed disclosure controls and procedures, or have caused them to be designed under their supervision, in order to provide reasonable assurance that:

·	material information relating to the Company has been made known to them; and

·	information required to be disclosed in the Company’s filings is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in securities legislation.

An evaluation was carried out, under the supervision of the CEO and the CFO, of the design and effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, the CEO and the CFO concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures at May 31, 2024 were not effective to provide reasonable assurance that material information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file with, or submit to, the SEC under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in by the SEC’s rules and regulations, solely due to the presence of a material weakness in internal controls over financial reporting as described below, which management is in the process of remediating.

Internal controls over financial reporting

The CEO and the CFO have also designed internal controls over financial reporting or have caused them to be designed under their supervision, in order to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS.

An evaluation was carried out, under the supervision of the CEO and the CFO, of the design and effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting, using the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) on Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013 Framework).

As a result of the year-end assessment process for the year ended August 31, 2023, we identified that we did not maintain effective processes and controls over the financial statement close process and the accounting for and reporting of complex and non-routine transactions due to a material weakness. Specifically, we determined that there was a lack of sufficient accounting and finance personnel to enable appropriate level of internal controls within the financial statement close process, including performing in-depth analysis and review of complex accounting matters and non-routine transactions within the timeframes set by us for filing our consolidated financial statements. Because of this deficiency, we concluded there was a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis at May 31, 2024.

A material weakness is defined as a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our financial statements will not be prevented or detected.

To remediate the identified material weaknesses, management is in the process of hiring additional personnel and designing and implementing revised controls and procedures which management believes will address the material weakness. These controls and procedures include establishing a more comprehensive schedule for management review of financial information and establishing additional review procedures over the accounting for complex and non-routine transactions. As at May 31, 2024, the Company is working on remediating the identified material weakness.

Notwithstanding the material weakness, management has concluded that the Company’s interim condensed consolidated financial statements as at and for the nine-month period ended May 31, 2024 present fairly, in all material respects, the Company’s financial position, results of operations, changes in equity and cash flows in accordance with IFRS.

Changes in internal controls over financial reporting

Other than as described above, no changes were made to our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the nine-month period ended May 31, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
