PyroGenesis Canada Inc. Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 (Unaudited) |
1. | Nature of operations |
PyroGenesis Canada Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”), incorporated under the laws of the Canada Business Corporations Act, was formed on July 11, 2011. The Company owns patents of advanced waste treatment systems technology and designs, develops, manufactures and commercialises advanced plasma processes and sustainable solutions to reduce greenhouse gases. The Company is domiciled at 1744 William Street, Suite 200, Montreal, Quebec. The Company is publicly traded on the TSX Exchange under the Symbol “PYR” on NASDAQ in the USA under the symbol "PYR" and on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (FSX) under the symbol “8PY “.
2. | Basis of preparation |
(a) | Statement of compliance |
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34 Interim Financial Statements, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"). These condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include all of the necessary information required for full annual financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021.
These financial statements were approved and authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors on November 10, 2022.
(b) | Functional and presentation currency |
These consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency.
(c) | Basis of measurement |
These financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for:
(i) | strategic investments which are accounted for at fair value, |
(ii) | stock-based payment arrangements, which are measured at fair value on the grant date pursuant to IFRS 2, Share-based Payment; and |
(iii) | lease liabilities, which are initially measured at the present value of minimum lease payments |
(d) | Basis of consolidation |
For financial reporting purposes, subsidiaries are defined as entities controlled by the Company. The Company controls an entity when it has power over the investee; it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity; and it has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity.
In instances where the Company does not hold a majority of the voting rights, further analysis is performed to determine whether or not the Company has control of the entity. The Company is deemed to have control when, according to the terms of the shareholder’s and/or other agreements, it makes most of the decisions affecting relevant activities.
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, Drosrite International LLC and Pyro Green-Gas Inc. and its subsidiaries. Drosrite International LLC is owned by a member of the Company’s key management personnel and close member of the Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and controlling shareholder’s family and is deemed to be controlled by the Company. Pyro Green-Gas Inc. (formerly AirScience Technologies Inc. until the renaming on September 14, 2021) was acquired by the Company on August 11, 2021 (see note 4). All transactions and balances between the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated upon consolidation.
(e) | Significant accounting policies |
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies adopted in the Company’s most recent annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021.

PyroGenesis Canada Inc. Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 (Unaudited) |
3. | Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions |
The significant judgments, estimates and assumptions applied by the Company’s in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements are the same as those applied by the Company in its audited annual financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2021.
4. | Business combination in fiscal 2021 |
On August 11, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of Pyro Green-Gas Inc. and its subsidiaries (formerly AirScience Technologies Inc. prior to its renaming on September 14, 2021), a Montreal-based company which offers technologies, equipment, and expertise in the area of biogas upgrading, as well as air pollution controls, for a maximum purchase price consideration of $4.4 million in cash, subject to customary post-closing adjustments. In addition, the Company settled a pre-existing loan receivable from Pyro Green-Gas Inc. of approximately $1.7 million. The transaction was executed essentially through a purchase of the entirety of the common class “A” shares of Pyro Green-Gas Inc. This acquisition enables the Company to springboard into the renewable natural gas market and provides an advantage compared to building its own operations. In addition, the Company will now have a presence in Italy and India, and the acquisition will provide potential synergies with the Company’s land-based waste destruction offerings. The purchase price will be paid upon the achievement of various contract and business-related milestones by Pyro Green-Gas Inc. The Company’s assessment is that these milestones will be realized at various moments during the next 30 months. The contingent consideration was estimated using a discount rate of 8%.
The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method and the final allocation of the purchase price is as follows:
$ | ||||
Total consideration | ||||
Consideration paid at closing | 1 | |||
Contingent consideration | 3,841,999 | |||
Consideration paid at closing and continent consideration | 3,842,000 | |||

1 | Includes $807,946 of cash and trade receivables with a net fair value of $3.3 million, including an allowance for doubtful accounts of $0.5 million. |
2 | The goodwill of $2.7 million recorded on the transaction is mainly attributable to the expected growth in biogas upgrading market and the expertise of the workforce, and it is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. |
The maximum purchase price consideration of $4,355,600 was discounted to $3,842,000, at August 11, 2021 and an accretion expense of $170,310 was recognized in Net finance costs in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Loss for the nine month period ended September 30, 2022.

21. | Financial instruments |
As part of its operations, the Company carries a number of financial instruments. It is management's opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments except as otherwise disclosed. The Company's overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of the financial market and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the Company's financial performance. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments to hedge these risks.
Foreign currency risk
The Company enters into transactions denominated in US dollars for which the related revenues, expenses, accounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued liabilities balances are subject to exchange rate fluctuations.
As at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 the Company's exposure to foreign exchange risk for amounts denominated in US dollars is as follows:
September 30, 2022 | December 31, 2021 | |||||||
$ | $ | |||||||
Cash | 451,897 | 1,714,670 | ||||||
Accounts receivable | 14,769,360 | 14,465,011 | ||||||
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities | (989,503 | ) | (1,023,999 | ) | ||||
Total | 14,231,754 | 15,155,682 |

PyroGenesis Canada Inc. Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 (Unaudited) |
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates.
Sensitivity analysis
At September 30, 2022, if the US Dollar changes by 10% against the Canadian dollar with all other variables held constant, the impact on pre-tax gain or loss and equity for the period ended September 30, 2022 would have been $1,423,175.
Credit risk and credit concentration
Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the other party by failing to discharge an obligation. The maximum credit risk to which the Company is exposed as at September 30, 2022 represents the carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable (except sales tax receivable), deposits and royalties receivable. Cash and cash equivalents, which only comprise guaranteed investment certificates redeemable on relatively short notice by the Company, are held with major reputable financial institutions. The Company manages its credit risk by performing credit assessments of its customers. The Company does not generally require collateral or other security from customers on accounts receivable. The Company believes that there is no unusual exposure associated with the collection of these receivables. Two customers accounted for 79% (one customer for 73% at December 31, 2021) of trade accounts receivable with amounts owing to the Company of $16,202,736 ($12,063,636 at December 31, 2021), representing the Company's major credit risk exposure.
The following table summarizes the Company’s concentration of credit risk as a percentage of revenue during the three- month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022.
Three months ended September 30, 2022 | Nine months ended September 30, 2022 | |||||||||||||||
% of total | % of total | |||||||||||||||
Revenues | revenues | Revenues | revenues | |||||||||||||
$ | % | $ | % | |||||||||||||

Customer 2 | – | – | 2,291,445 | 15 | ||||||||||||
Customer 3 | – | – | 1,757,168 | 11 | ||||||||||||
Total | 3,943,430 | 70 | 8,936,154 | 57 |
Credit concentration is determined based on customers representing 10% or more of total revenues and/or total accounts receivable.
The royalties receivables are due from a company in which the Company has a strategic investments. The Company does not have collateral or other security associated with the collection of this receivable.
Fair value of financial instruments
The fair value represents the amount that would be received for the sale of an asset or paid for the transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value estimates are calculated at a specific date taking into consideration assumptions regarding the amounts, the timing of estimated future cash flows and discount rates. Accordingly, due to its approximate and subjective nature, the fair value must not be interpreted as being realizable in an immediate settlement of the financial instruments.
There are three levels of fair value that reflect the significance of inputs used in determining fair values of financial instruments:
Level 1 — quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 — inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).

PyroGenesis Canada Inc. Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 (Unaudited) |
Level 3 — inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data. The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, deposits, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and bank indebtedness approximate their carrying amounts due to their short-term maturities.
Royalties receivable are discounted according to their corresponding agreements and are classified as Level 2. Investments in HPQ warrants are valued using the Black-Scholes pricing model and are classified as Level 3.
The fair value of the term loans and the balance due on business combination as at September 30, 2022 is determined using the discounted future cash flows method and management's estimates for market interest rates for similar issuances. Given their recent issuance, their fair market values correspond to their carrying amount.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument might be adversely affected by a change in interest rates. Changes in market interest rates may have an effect on the cash flows associated with some financial assets and liabilities, known as cash flow risk, and on the fair value of other financial assets or liabilities, known as price risk, and on the fair value of investments or liabilities, known as price risks. The Company is exposed to a risk of fair value on cash equivalents, and term loans as those financial instruments bear interest at fixed rates.
Price risk
Price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market price (other than those arising from foreign currency risk and interest risk), whether those changes are caused by factors specific to the individual financial instrument or its issuers or factors affecting all similar financial instruments traded in the market. The most significant exposure to the price risk for the Company arises from its investments in shares and warrants of public companies quoted on the TSXV Exchange. If equity prices had increased or decreased by 25% as at September 30, 2022, with all other variables held constant, the Company’s investments would have increased or decreased respectively, by approximately $1,978,000 ($4,042,000 at December 31, 2021).
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities that are settled by delivery of cash or another financial asset. The Company manages its liquidity risk by forecasting cash flows from operations and anticipating any investing and financing activities.

22. | Contingent liabilities |
The Company is currently a party to various legal proceedings. If management believes that a loss arising from these proceedings is probable and can reasonably be estimated, that amount of the loss is recorded. As additional information becomes available, any potential liability related to these proceedings is assessed and the estimates are revised, if necessary. Based on currently available information, management believes that the ultimate outcome of these proceedings, individually and in aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or overall trends in results of operations.
The Company had received a government grant in prior years of approximately $800,000 to assist with the development of a new system of advanced waste treatment systems technology.
