As a result of global volatility, the Company has put in place business continuity plans to adapt to evolving market conditions. Even after taking into consideration the negative effects of the current COVID-19 pandemic on our delivery schedule, the Company has determined that there is no change in the Company’s conclusion about its ability to continue as a going concern. However, the duration and impact of COVID-19 is unknown at this time and it is not possible to reliably estimate the length and severity of these developments and the impact on the financial results and condition of the Company in future periods.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION The following companies had been consolidated with Vicinity Motor Corp. as at December 31, 2021: Schedule of subsidiary Company Name Registered Holding Functional Currency Vicinity Motor Corp. (Formerly Grande West Transportation Group Inc.) British Columbia Parent Company United States Dollar (Canadian Dollar up to October 5, 2021) Vicinity Motor (Bus) Corp. British Columbia 100% Canadian Dollar Vicinity Motor (Bus) USA Corp. United States 100% United States Dollar i) Intercompany balances and transactions, and any unrealized gains arising from intercompany transactions, were eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. a) Statement of compliance The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IFRS”). The consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on March 29, 2022. b) Basis of measurement The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments carried at fair value as described in Note 4. c) Use of estimates and judgments The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of judgments and/or estimates that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the consolidated financial statements and related notes. These judgments and estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of the relevant facts and circumstances, having regard to previous experience, but actual results may differ materially from the amounts included in the consolidated financial statements. Estimates that have a risk of resulting in material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next year are summarized below: i. The determination of provision for warranty cost: The Company offers warranties on the buses it sells. The Company estimates the provision for future warranty claims based on historical warranty claim information, as well as recent trends that might suggest the past results may differ from future warranty claims. The Company does not have a long history of estimating warranty provisions. In addition, the items covered by the Company’s warranty may be subject to interpretation because the warranty items are not specific in all cases, and the warranty demands made by different customers may also vary. ii. Contingent liability estimate: In the normal course of business, the Company receives notice of potential legal proceedings or is named as defendant in legal proceedings, including those that may be related to product liability, wrongful dismissal or personal injury, many of which are covered by the Company’s insurance policies. Contingent liabilities are recognized when present obligations as a result of a past event will probably lead to an outflow of economic resources from the Company and amounts can be estimated reliably. The Company has accrued for claims where it is probable there will be an outflow of resources. The Company does not believe any of the current unaccrued claims are probable of resulting in an outflow of resources. However, the timing and amount of claims remain uncertain. |

Change Of Presentation Currency | |
CHANGE OF PRESENTATION CURRENCY | 3. CHANGE OF PRESENTATION CURRENCY Effective October 6, 2021, the functional currency of the Company’s parent, Vicinity Motor Corp. has changed from Canadian dollars to United State dollars as financing for operations are now raised in US dollars. The Company has also decided to change its presentation currency from Canadian dollars to United States dollars. The change in the financial statement presentation currency is considered an accounting policy change and has been accounted for retrospectively. The balance sheets for each period presented have been translated from the related subsidiary’s functional currency to the new US dollar presentation currency at the rate of exchange prevailing at the respective balance sheet date except for equity items, which have been translated at accumulated historical rates from the related subsidiary’s date of incorporation. The statements of income and comprehensive income were translated at the average exchange rates for the reporting period, or at the exchange rate prevailing at the date of transactions. Exchange differences arising in 2019 on translation from the related subsidiary’s functional currency to the United States dollar presentation currency have been recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated as a separate component of equity. In prior reporting periods, the translation of the Company’s subsidiaries that had a United States dollar functional currency into the Company’s presentation currency of the Canadian dollar gave rise to a translation adjustment which was recorded as an adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”), a separate component of shareholder’s equity. With the retrospective application of the change in presentation currency from the Canadian dollar to the US dollar, the AOCI related to the translation of US dollar functional currency subsidiaries was eliminated. However, with the retrospective application of the change in presentation currency to the US dollar, the Company’s Canadian operating company, which has a Canadian dollar functional currency, resulted in an AOCI balance. a) Adjustment to previously reported financial information due to change in presentation currency For comparative purposes, the consolidated balance sheets as at December 31, 2020 and January 1, 2020 include adjustments to reflect the change in the presentation currency to the US dollar, which is a change in accounting policy. The exchange rates used to translate the amounts previously reported into US dollars at December 31, 2020 were 1.2732 CAD/USD, and at January 1, 2020 were 1.2988 CAD/USD. Refer to Note 24 for the effects of the translation. For comparative purposes, the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2020 includes adjustments to reflect the change in the presentation currency to the US dollar, which is a change in accounting policy. The exchange rates used to translate the amounts previously reported into US dollars for the year ended December 31, 2020 were the monthly average rates for the period. |

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | 12 Months Ended |
Dec. 31, 2021 | |
Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies | |
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | 4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES a) Revenue recognition Revenue from contracts with customers, is based upon the principle that revenue is recognized when control of a good or service is transferred to a customer. The Company considers that control has passed when there is a present obligation to pay, physical possession, and when legal title and the risks and rewards of ownership have passed to the customer. In the case of buses, revenue is recognized when the bus has been delivered to the customer. The bus is considered delivered when it is picked up from the Company’s yard by the customer or when it has been delivered to a customer specified location in accordance with the agreement. If it is probable that discounts will be granted and the amount can be measured reliably, then the discount is recognized as a reduction of revenue when the sales are recognized. In the case of revenue from the sale of parts inventory, revenue is recognized when control of the parts inventory transfers to the customer upon delivery. In the case where the performance obligation is to stand ready to deliver a bus and deliver a bus if requested, revenue is recognized when the bus has been delivered to the customer or when the stand ready period is complete. In circumstances where the Company receives consideration from the customer in advance of meeting the revenue recognition criteria deferred revenue is recognized. In circumstances where the Company facilitates sales through an agent, and the agent is paid a commission for acting on behalf of the Company, revenue is recorded as the amount of consideration agreed by the ultimate customer and the commission to the agent is recorded as commissions and services expense and included in sales and administration. In certain circumstances, the Company may agree to accept pre-owned buses or other non-cash considerations as consideration for the purchase of new buses. In these circumstances, the Company recognizes revenue based on the fair value of the non-cash consideration received. In circumstances where the Company modifies a contract judgement is applied to determine if the modification should be accounted for as a new contract or part of the existing contract, depending upon the nature of the contract. Modifications that defer the delivery of buses or change the type of bus to be delivered in the future are generally accounted for prospectively and deferred revenue is continued to be deferred. A modification that adds additional distinct performance obligations at stand-alone selling prices are accounted for as a new contract. Revenue from operating leases of buses is recognized in accordance with the terms of the relevant agreement with the customer evenly over the term of that agreement. b) Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash deposits with banks and highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to cash with maturities of three months or less when purchased, or which are redeemable at the option of the Company. Any cash which is contractually restricted is classified as restricted cash, as it is not available for ongoing operational purposes until the restriction is removed. c) Trade receivables Trade receivables are recognized initially at fair value less provisions made for doubtful receivables based on a review of period-end trade receivables, historical information, current conditions, and specific circumstances that may impact the amount recoverable from a particular customer. Trade receivables do not carry any interest. A provision for doubtful accounts receivables is generally made when there is objective evidence that the Company will not be able to collect the amounts due according to original payment terms or when there are indications of collection issues related to specific customers. The provision for impairment of trade receivables is presented within sales and administration. d) Inventory Inventory for buses and aftermarket parts is stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost for aftermarket parts is determined on a first-in first-out basis. The cost of finished goods comprises raw materials, direct labor, other direct costs, freight, import duties and related production overheads. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less any costs to complete and sell the product. An allowance for obsolete, slow-moving or defective inventory is made when necessary. e) Intangible assets Intangible assets consist of intellectual property rights and developed software and licences. Intellectual property rights acquired are initially recognized at cost and are subsequently carried at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Software implementation costs have finite lives and are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Intellectual property costs are amortized to profit or loss using the straight-line method over 8 10 f) Development costs Expenditure incurred in the development of products or enhancements to existing product ranges is capitalized as an intangible asset only when the future economic benefits expected to arise are deemed probable and the costs can be reliably measured. Development costs not meeting these criteria are expensed in the statement of operations as incurred. Capitalized development costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful economic lives once the product or enhancement is available for use. Product research costs are expensed as incurred. g) Debt issue costs Debt issue costs are recognized in connection with proposed financing transactions which are specifically identified in that the form of debt issuances is known and completion of the financing is probable. When the financing is completed, these costs are recognized and netted against the value of the debt for debt transactions. The debt issue costs are subsequently accreted to face value at maturity. The accretion amounts are included in interest and bank charges expense over the life of the debt. Debt issue costs include only those costs which are incremental and directly attributable to the proposed financing transaction. In the event that the transaction is abandoned, previously capitalized debt issue costs are expensed through the consolidated statements of (loss) income and comprehensive (loss) income. h) Share issuance costs Professional, consulting, regulatory and other costs directly attributable to equity financing transactions are recorded as deferred financing costs until the financing transactions are completed, if the completion of the transaction is considered likely; otherwise they are expensed as incurred. Share issuance costs are charged to share capital when the related shares are issued. Deferred financing costs related to financing transactions that are not completed are expensed through the consolidated statements of (loss) income and comprehensive (loss) income. i) Property and equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Cost includes the acquisition price, any direct costs to bring the asset into productive use at its intended location, the cost of replacing part of the property and equipment and borrowing costs for long-term construction projects if the recognition criteria are met. Depreciation of property and equipment is recorded in operating expenses with the exception of leased buses, the depreciation of which is included in cost of sales. Property and equipment are depreciated annually using the following methods and rates: Schedule of property and equipment depreciation Office equipment Declining balance, 20% - 55% Vehicles Declining balance, 30% Buses under lease Straight-line, 12 years Asset under lease Straight-line, over lease term Plant and manufacturing equipment Straight-line, 25 years j) Government assistance Government assistance is recorded as receivable when the Company qualifies under the terms of a government program and the Company has reasonable assurance the assistance will be received. Government assistance related to the acquisition of property, plant and equipment is recorded as a reduction of the cost of the asset to which it relates, with any amortization calculated on the net amount. Government assistance related to non-capital projects is recorded as a reduction of the related expenses. k) Leases At the inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The Company assesses whether the contract involves the use of an identified asset, whether the Company has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the asset during the term of the arrangement and if the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset. Leases are recognized as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding liability when the leased asset is available for use by the Company. Lease liabilities are initially measured at the net present value of the fixed lease payments and variable lease payments that are based on an index or a rate, discounted using the rate implicit in the lease, or if that cannot be determined, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. Right-of-use assets are initially measured at cost, comprising of the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability, any lease payments made at or before the lease commencement date, and restoration costs. Right of use assets are depreciated over the shorter of the asset’s useful life and the lease term on a straight-line basis. Lease liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. The Company has elected to not recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for leases with a term of less than 12 months and low value leases. The lease payments for these leases are recorded as expenses as they are incurred. l) Provisions Provisions are recorded when a present legal or constructive obligation exists as a result of past events where it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate of the amount can be made. If the effect is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. At the time of sale, a provision for warranty claims is recorded in cost of sales. This warranty provision is based upon management’s best estimate of expected future warranty costs for the particular contract. Actual warranty expenditures are charged against the provision as incurred during the two-year warranty period. If actual expense is different from the provision, management re-estimates the remaining provision required and records a change in estimate in cost of sales. m) Impairment of non-financial assets Assets that are subject to depreciation and amortization, such as property and equipment and intangible assets with finite lives are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If there are indicators of impairment, an evaluation is undertaken to determine whether the carrying amounts are in excess of their recoverable amounts. An asset’s recoverable amount is determined as the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value-in-use. Such reviews are undertaken on an asset-by-asset basis, except where assets do not generate cash flows independent of other assets, in which case the review is undertaken at the cash-generating unit level. If the carrying amount of an individual asset or cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recorded in the consolidated statements of (loss) income and comprehensive (loss) income to reflect the asset at the recoverable amount. In assessing the value-in-use, the relevant future cash flows expected to arise from the continuing use of such assets and from their disposal are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate which reflects the current market’s assessments of the time value of money and asset-specific risks for which the cash flow estimates have not been adjusted. Fair value less costs to sell is determined as the price that would be received to sell the asset or group of assets in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date less incremental costs directly attributed to the disposal of the asset or group of assets. A reversal of a previously recognized impairment loss is recorded in the consolidated statements of (loss) income and comprehensive (loss) income when events or circumstances dictate that the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount have changed since the prior impairment loss was recognized. The carrying amount is increased to the recoverable amount but not beyond the carrying amount net of amortization which would have arisen if the prior impairment loss had not been recognized. After such a reversal, the amortization charge is adjusted in future periods to allocate the asset’s revised carrying amount, less any residual value, on a systematic basis over its remaining useful life. n) Financial instruments Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash are classified as loans and receivables and are recorded at amortized cost. Interest income is recognized by applying the effective interest rate. Derivative instruments, including embedded derivatives, are recorded at fair value through profit or loss and, accordingly, are recorded on the consolidated statements of financial position at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on derivatives held for trading are recorded in profit or loss for the year. Fair values for derivative instruments are determined using valuation techniques, with assumptions based on market conditions existing at the consolidated statements of financial position date or settlement date of the derivative. Accounts payable, accrued liabilities and debt are classified as other financial liabilities and are recognized initially at fair value, net of any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition these financial liabilities are held at amortized cost using the effective interest method. o) Impairment of financial assets The Company recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses on its financial assets. At each reporting date, the Company measures the loss allowance for the financial asset at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses if the credit risk on the financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition. If, at the reporting date, the credit risk on the financial asset has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Company measures the loss allowance for the financial asset at an amount equal to twelve month expected credit losses. p) Income taxes Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax and is recognized in operations except to the extent that it relates to business combinations, or items recognized directly in equity or in other comprehensive loss. Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. Deferred tax is recognized in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is recognized at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. A deferred tax asset is recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized. q) (Loss) earnings per share Basic (loss) earnings per share is computed by dividing net (loss) income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. The Company applies the treasury stock method in calculating diluted (loss) earnings per share. Diluted (loss) earnings per share exclude all dilutive potential common shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. r) Related party transactions Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Related parties may be individuals or corporate entities. Parties are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence. A transaction is considered to be a related party transaction when there is a transfer of resources, services or obligations between related parties. s) Stock-based payments Equity-settled stock-based payments to employees and others providing similar services are measured at the fair value of equity instruments at the grant date. The fair value is measured at grant date, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, and each tranche is recognized on a graded-vesting basis over the period in which options vest. At the end of each reporting period, the Company revises its estimate of the number of equity instruments expected to vest. The impact of the revision of the original estimates, if any, is recognized in profit or loss such that the cumulative expense reflects the revised estimate, with a corresponding adjustment to contributed surplus. Equity-settled stock-based payment transactions with parties other than employees are measured at the fair value of the goods or services received, except where that fair value cannot be estimated reliably, in which case they are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments granted. These transactions are then measured at the date the entity obtains the goods or the counterparty renders the service. Consideration received on the exercise of stock options is recorded in share capital and the related stock-based payment in contributed surplus is transferred to share capital. Charges for options that are forfeited before vesting are reversed from equity. t) Share Capital The Company uses the residual value approach in respect of unit offerings, whereby the amount assigned to the warrant is the excess of the unit price over the trading price of the Company’s shares at the date of issuance, if any, to a maximum of the fair value of the warrant determined using the Black-Scholes Option-Pricing Model. u) Reportable segments The Company operates as a single segment, which is the production and sale of buses and spare parts in North America, consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief executive officer. v) Recent accounting pronouncements Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for December 31, 2021 reporting periods and have not been early adopted by the Company. These standards are not expected to have a material impact on the Company in the current or future reporting periods and on foreseeable future transactions. |

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS | 18. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Fair values The Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, trade and other receivables, accounts payable, credit facility, short-term loans, deferred consideration, lease obligations. The carrying amounts of these financial instruments are a reasonable estimate of their fair values based on their current nature and current market rates for similar financial instruments. Lease obligations are classified as level 2 within the hierarchy. Deferred consideration is the only instrument measured at fair value through profit and loss in accordance with IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments. The following table summarizes the carrying values of the Company’s financial instruments: Disclosure of financial assets December 31, 2021 December 31, 2020 $ $ Assets: Measured at amortized cost (i) 7,212 4,547 Liabilities: Amortized cost (ii) 10,284 17,084 Fair value through P&L (iii) 4,602 — (i) Cash, restricted cash and trade and other receivables (ii) Accounts payable and accrued liabilities, current loans, and lease obligations. (iii) Deferred consideration (only financial instrument carried at fair value) The Company classifies its fair value measurements in accordance with the three-level fair value hierarchy as follows: Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices), and Level 3 – Inputs that are not based on observable market data The Company valued deferred consideration (iii) as a level 3 instrument. The Company used a probability weighted discount model to determine the fair value of the deferred consideration. Key assumptions included a discount rate of 10% and a time frame of 12 months after which the Company expects the consideration milestone to have been achieved. Interest Rate and Credit Risk The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on its bank loans to the extent that its credit facilities are based on Canadian and US prime rates of interests. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risks consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, and trade and other receivables. To minimize the credit risk related to cash and cash equivalents, the Company places these instruments with high credit quality financial institutions located in Canada and the United States. Currency Risk On October 6, 2021, the functional currency of the Company’s parent, Vicinity Motor Corp. changed from Canadian dollars to US dollars as financing for operations are now raised in US dollars. The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk because the Company’s parent and US operations incur a portion of their operating expenses in Canadian dollars. Therefore, an increase in the value of the CAD relative to the USD increases the value of expenses in USD terms incurred by the Company’s parent and US operations, which reduces operating margin and the cash flow available to fund operations. Conversely, the Company’s Canadian operation has a functional currency of Canadian dollars and incurs a portion of their operating expenses in US dollars. Whenever possible the Company tries to match US dollar revenue and cash flows to US dollar expenses and Canadian dollar revenue and cash flows to Canadian dollar expenses to minimize exposure to fluctuations in exchange rates. At December 31, 2021, the Company had cash of $ 115 1,896 4,904 At December 31, 2021, the Company had cash of C$ 3,964 234 376 Liquidity Risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company’s objective when managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it has sufficient liquidity available to meet its liabilities when due. The Company uses cash to settle its financial obligations as they fall due. The ability to do this relies on the Company collecting its trade receivables in a timely manner and maintaining sufficient cash on hand through credit facility financing. The following are the contractual maturities of financial liabilities: Disclosure of financial liabilities Carrying Amount Contractual Cash Flows Within 1 year 1 to 2 years 2 to 3 years 3 to 6 years $ $ $ $ $ $ At December 31, 2021 Accounts payable 7,517 (7,915 ) (7,915 ) — — — Current debt facilities 7,143 (8,774 ) (8,774 ) — — — Other long-term liabilities 226 (230 ) (137 ) (49 ) (15 ) (29 ) Total 14,886 (16,919 ) (16,826 ) (49 ) (15 ) (29 ) Sensitivity analysis The Company’s borrowing under the existing credit facility are at variable rates of interest and expose the Company to interest rate risk. The Company has completed a sensitivity analysis to estimate the impact on comprehensive income which a change in interest rates at and during the year ended December 31, 2021 would have had on the Company. The result of this sensitivity analysis indicates that a 0.5% increase (decrease) in the prime interest rates would not have a material impact. The Company has completed a sensitivity analysis to estimate the impact on comprehensive earnings which a change in foreign exchange rates as at and during the year ended December 31, 2021 would have had on the Company. The sensitivity analysis includes the assumption that changes in individual foreign exchange rates do not cause foreign exchange rates in other countries to alter. The following tables summarizes quantitative data about our exposure to currency risk as a result of monetary assets (labilities) in currencies different from the entity’s functional currency: Disclosure of CAD dollar foreign currency balance sheet exposure 2021 $ Net Canadian dollar monetary asset (liability) CAD thousands 3,822 Net US dollar monetary asset (liability) USD thousands (2,893 ) The result of this sensitivity analysis indicates that a 10% increase (decrease) in the average value of the Canadian dollar relative to the US dollar during the period would have resulted in an increase (decrease) in net income of approximately $591. |

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT | 19. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT The Company’s objectives when managing capital are: ● to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders, and ● to provide an adequate return to shareholders through expansion correspondingly to the level of risk. The Company considers its share capital, other shareholders’ equity, credit facility, and short-term loans, to be its capital. As a part of its loan commitments, the Company is required to obtain authorization from the credit facility lender (Note 10) prior to obtaining further loans. The Company’s capital is currently not subject to any other external restrictions except those described in Note 10. The Company sets the amount of capital in proportion to risk. The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may issue new shares, sell assets, reduce debt or increase its debt. Certain of the Company’s cash amounts have been restricted for the purposes outlined in Note 5. |

LOSS PER SHARE | 21. LOSS PER SHARE Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss from continuing operations attributable to equity holders of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted loss per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of common shares outstanding to assume conversion of all dilutive potential common shares. The number of average basic and diluted shares outstanding for all the periods presented in the consolidated statements of (loss) income have been adjusted in order to reflect the effect of the share consolidation that took place on March 29, 2021. The Company has four categories of dilutive potential common shares: convertible debt, stock options, RSUs and DSUs. The convertible debt is assumed to have been converted into common shares, and the net loss is adjusted to eliminate the interest expense less the tax effect. For the stock options, a calculation is done to determine the number of shares that could have been acquired at fair value (determined as the average annual market share price of the Company’s shares) based on the monetary value of the subscription rights attached to outstanding stock options. The number of shares calculated reduces the number of shares that would have been issued assuming the exercise of the share options. DSUs are assumed to be converted as of the grant date. A total of 2,441,349 (2020: 847,168) instruments before share consolidation, which include convertible debt, stock options, restricted share units and deferred share units have not been included in the calculation for diluted loss per share as they are antidilutive. These could potentially dilute basic loss per share in the future. |

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies) | 12 Months Ended |
Dec. 31, 2021 | |
Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies | |
Revenue recognition | a) Revenue recognition Revenue from contracts with customers, is based upon the principle that revenue is recognized when control of a good or service is transferred to a customer. The Company considers that control has passed when there is a present obligation to pay, physical possession, and when legal title and the risks and rewards of ownership have passed to the customer. In the case of buses, revenue is recognized when the bus has been delivered to the customer. The bus is considered delivered when it is picked up from the Company’s yard by the customer or when it has been delivered to a customer specified location in accordance with the agreement. If it is probable that discounts will be granted and the amount can be measured reliably, then the discount is recognized as a reduction of revenue when the sales are recognized. In the case of revenue from the sale of parts inventory, revenue is recognized when control of the parts inventory transfers to the customer upon delivery. In the case where the performance obligation is to stand ready to deliver a bus and deliver a bus if requested, revenue is recognized when the bus has been delivered to the customer or when the stand ready period is complete. In circumstances where the Company receives consideration from the customer in advance of meeting the revenue recognition criteria deferred revenue is recognized. In circumstances where the Company facilitates sales through an agent, and the agent is paid a commission for acting on behalf of the Company, revenue is recorded as the amount of consideration agreed by the ultimate customer and the commission to the agent is recorded as commissions and services expense and included in sales and administration. In certain circumstances, the Company may agree to accept pre-owned buses or other non-cash considerations as consideration for the purchase of new buses. In these circumstances, the Company recognizes revenue based on the fair value of the non-cash consideration received. In circumstances where the Company modifies a contract judgement is applied to determine if the modification should be accounted for as a new contract or part of the existing contract, depending upon the nature of the contract. Modifications that defer the delivery of buses or change the type of bus to be delivered in the future are generally accounted for prospectively and deferred revenue is continued to be deferred. A modification that adds additional distinct performance obligations at stand-alone selling prices are accounted for as a new contract. Revenue from operating leases of buses is recognized in accordance with the terms of the relevant agreement with the customer evenly over the term of that agreement. |
Cash and cash equivalents | b) Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash deposits with banks and highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to cash with maturities of three months or less when purchased, or which are redeemable at the option of the Company. Any cash which is contractually restricted is classified as restricted cash, as it is not available for ongoing operational purposes until the restriction is removed. |
Trade receivables | c) Trade receivables Trade receivables are recognized initially at fair value less provisions made for doubtful receivables based on a review of period-end trade receivables, historical information, current conditions, and specific circumstances that may impact the amount recoverable from a particular customer. Trade receivables do not carry any interest. A provision for doubtful accounts receivables is generally made when there is objective evidence that the Company will not be able to collect the amounts due according to original payment terms or when there are indications of collection issues related to specific customers. The provision for impairment of trade receivables is presented within sales and administration. |
Inventory | d) Inventory Inventory for buses and aftermarket parts is stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost for aftermarket parts is determined on a first-in first-out basis. The cost of finished goods comprises raw materials, direct labor, other direct costs, freight, import duties and related production overheads. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less any costs to complete and sell the product. An allowance for obsolete, slow-moving or defective inventory is made when necessary. |
Intangible assets | e) Intangible assets Intangible assets consist of intellectual property rights and developed software and licences. Intellectual property rights acquired are initially recognized at cost and are subsequently carried at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Software implementation costs have finite lives and are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Intellectual property costs are amortized to profit or loss using the straight-line method over 8 10 |
Development costs | f) Development costs Expenditure incurred in the development of products or enhancements to existing product ranges is capitalized as an intangible asset only when the future economic benefits expected to arise are deemed probable and the costs can be reliably measured. Development costs not meeting these criteria are expensed in the statement of operations as incurred. Capitalized development costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful economic lives once the product or enhancement is available for use. Product research costs are expensed as incurred. |
Debt issue costs | g) Debt issue costs Debt issue costs are recognized in connection with proposed financing transactions which are specifically identified in that the form of debt issuances is known and completion of the financing is probable. When the financing is completed, these costs are recognized and netted against the value of the debt for debt transactions. The debt issue costs are subsequently accreted to face value at maturity. The accretion amounts are included in interest and bank charges expense over the life of the debt. Debt issue costs include only those costs which are incremental and directly attributable to the proposed financing transaction. In the event that the transaction is abandoned, previously capitalized debt issue costs are expensed through the consolidated statements of (loss) income and comprehensive (loss) income. |
Share issuance costs | h) Share issuance costs Professional, consulting, regulatory and other costs directly attributable to equity financing transactions are recorded as deferred financing costs until the financing transactions are completed, if the completion of the transaction is considered likely; otherwise they are expensed as incurred. Share issuance costs are charged to share capital when the related shares are issued. Deferred financing costs related to financing transactions that are not completed are expensed through the consolidated statements of (loss) income and comprehensive (loss) income. |
Property and equipment | i) Property and equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Cost includes the acquisition price, any direct costs to bring the asset into productive use at its intended location, the cost of replacing part of the property and equipment and borrowing costs for long-term construction projects if the recognition criteria are met. Depreciation of property and equipment is recorded in operating expenses with the exception of leased buses, the depreciation of which is included in cost of sales. Property and equipment are depreciated annually using the following methods and rates: Schedule of property and equipment depreciation Office equipment Declining balance, 20% - 55% Vehicles Declining balance, 30% Buses under lease Straight-line, 12 years Asset under lease Straight-line, over lease term Plant and manufacturing equipment Straight-line, 25 years |
Government assistance | j) Government assistance Government assistance is recorded as receivable when the Company qualifies under the terms of a government program and the Company has reasonable assurance the assistance will be received. Government assistance related to the acquisition of property, plant and equipment is recorded as a reduction of the cost of the asset to which it relates, with any amortization calculated on the net amount. Government assistance related to non-capital projects is recorded as a reduction of the related expenses. |
Leases | k) Leases At the inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The Company assesses whether the contract involves the use of an identified asset, whether the Company has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the asset during the term of the arrangement and if the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset. Leases are recognized as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding liability when the leased asset is available for use by the Company. Lease liabilities are initially measured at the net present value of the fixed lease payments and variable lease payments that are based on an index or a rate, discounted using the rate implicit in the lease, or if that cannot be determined, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. Right-of-use assets are initially measured at cost, comprising of the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability, any lease payments made at or before the lease commencement date, and restoration costs. Right of use assets are depreciated over the shorter of the asset’s useful life and the lease term on a straight-line basis. Lease liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. The Company has elected to not recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for leases with a term of less than 12 months and low value leases. The lease payments for these leases are recorded as expenses as they are incurred. |
Provisions | l) Provisions Provisions are recorded when a present legal or constructive obligation exists as a result of past events where it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate of the amount can be made. If the effect is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. At the time of sale, a provision for warranty claims is recorded in cost of sales. This warranty provision is based upon management’s best estimate of expected future warranty costs for the particular contract. Actual warranty expenditures are charged against the provision as incurred during the two-year warranty period. If actual expense is different from the provision, management re-estimates the remaining provision required and records a change in estimate in cost of sales. |
Impairment of non-financial assets | m) Impairment of non-financial assets Assets that are subject to depreciation and amortization, such as property and equipment and intangible assets with finite lives are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If there are indicators of impairment, an evaluation is undertaken to determine whether the carrying amounts are in excess of their recoverable amounts. An asset’s recoverable amount is determined as the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value-in-use. Such reviews are undertaken on an asset-by-asset basis, except where assets do not generate cash flows independent of other assets, in which case the review is undertaken at the cash-generating unit level. If the carrying amount of an individual asset or cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recorded in the consolidated statements of (loss) income and comprehensive (loss) income to reflect the asset at the recoverable amount. In assessing the value-in-use, the relevant future cash flows expected to arise from the continuing use of such assets and from their disposal are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate which reflects the current market’s assessments of the time value of money and asset-specific risks for which the cash flow estimates have not been adjusted. Fair value less costs to sell is determined as the price that would be received to sell the asset or group of assets in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date less incremental costs directly attributed to the disposal of the asset or group of assets. A reversal of a previously recognized impairment loss is recorded in the consolidated statements of (loss) income and comprehensive (loss) income when events or circumstances dictate that the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount have changed since the prior impairment loss was recognized. The carrying amount is increased to the recoverable amount but not beyond the carrying amount net of amortization which would have arisen if the prior impairment loss had not been recognized. After such a reversal, the amortization charge is adjusted in future periods to allocate the asset’s revised carrying amount, less any residual value, on a systematic basis over its remaining useful life. |
Financial instruments | n) Financial instruments Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash are classified as loans and receivables and are recorded at amortized cost. Interest income is recognized by applying the effective interest rate. Derivative instruments, including embedded derivatives, are recorded at fair value through profit or loss and, accordingly, are recorded on the consolidated statements of financial position at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on derivatives held for trading are recorded in profit or loss for the year. Fair values for derivative instruments are determined using valuation techniques, with assumptions based on market conditions existing at the consolidated statements of financial position date or settlement date of the derivative. Accounts payable, accrued liabilities and debt are classified as other financial liabilities and are recognized initially at fair value, net of any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition these financial liabilities are held at amortized cost using the effective interest method. |
Impairment of financial assets | o) Impairment of financial assets The Company recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses on its financial assets. At each reporting date, the Company measures the loss allowance for the financial asset at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses if the credit risk on the financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition. If, at the reporting date, the credit risk on the financial asset has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Company measures the loss allowance for the financial asset at an amount equal to twelve month expected credit losses. |
Income taxes | p) Income taxes Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax and is recognized in operations except to the extent that it relates to business combinations, or items recognized directly in equity or in other comprehensive loss. Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. Deferred tax is recognized in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is recognized at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. A deferred tax asset is recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized. |
(Loss) earnings per share | q) (Loss) earnings per share Basic (loss) earnings per share is computed by dividing net (loss) income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. The Company applies the treasury stock method in calculating diluted (loss) earnings per share. Diluted (loss) earnings per share exclude all dilutive potential common shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. |
Related party transactions | r) Related party transactions Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Related parties may be individuals or corporate entities. Parties are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence. A transaction is considered to be a related party transaction when there is a transfer of resources, services or obligations between related parties. |
Stock-based payments | s) Stock-based payments Equity-settled stock-based payments to employees and others providing similar services are measured at the fair value of equity instruments at the grant date. The fair value is measured at grant date, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, and each tranche is recognized on a graded-vesting basis over the period in which options vest. At the end of each reporting period, the Company revises its estimate of the number of equity instruments expected to vest. The impact of the revision of the original estimates, if any, is recognized in profit or loss such that the cumulative expense reflects the revised estimate, with a corresponding adjustment to contributed surplus. Equity-settled stock-based payment transactions with parties other than employees are measured at the fair value of the goods or services received, except where that fair value cannot be estimated reliably, in which case they are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments granted. These transactions are then measured at the date the entity obtains the goods or the counterparty renders the service. Consideration received on the exercise of stock options is recorded in share capital and the related stock-based payment in contributed surplus is transferred to share capital. Charges for options that are forfeited before vesting are reversed from equity. |
Share Capital | t) Share Capital The Company uses the residual value approach in respect of unit offerings, whereby the amount assigned to the warrant is the excess of the unit price over the trading price of the Company’s shares at the date of issuance, if any, to a maximum of the fair value of the warrant determined using the Black-Scholes Option-Pricing Model. |
Reportable segments | u) Reportable segments The Company operates as a single segment, which is the production and sale of buses and spare parts in North America, consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief executive officer. |
Recent accounting pronouncements | v) Recent accounting pronouncements Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for December 31, 2021 reporting periods and have not been early adopted by the Company. These standards are not expected to have a material impact on the Company in the current or future reporting periods and on foreseeable future transactions. |
