(Unaudited, In thousands of US dollars, except for per share amounts)
| 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 States dollars as financing for operations are now raised in US dollars.
The Company changed 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 statement of loss and comprehensive loss for the three months ended March 31, 2021 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 three months ended March 31, 2021 were the monthly average rates for the period.

9.5 Deferred Share Units
Pursuant to the Company’s Deferred Share Unit (“DSU”) Incentive Plan approved by the board of directors of the Company on July 8, 2018, deferred stock units to acquire common shares of the Company may be granted to specified board members of the Company in accordance with the terms and conditions of the plan.
Each DSU entitles the participant to receive one common share upon vesting. DSUs vest into common shares on the board members’ separation date from the board of directors. DSUs track the value of the underlying common shares, but do not entitle the recipient to the underlying common shares until such DSUs vest, nor do they entitle a holder to exercise voting rights or any other rights attached to ownership or control of the common shares, until the DSU vests and the DSU participant receives common shares.

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:
| | March 31, 2022 | | December 31, 2021 |
| | $ | | $ |
Assets: | | | | | | | | |
Measured at amortized cost (i) | | | 16,375 | | | | 7,212 | |
Liabilities: | | | | | | | | |
Amortized cost (ii) | | | 20,180 | | | | 10,284 | |
Fair value through P&L (iii) | | | 4,718 | | | | 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. The measurement is classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
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 carrying value amount of the Company’s financial instruments that are measured at amortized cost approximates fair value due to their short-term nature and market conditions and amount involved. 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.
