1. Reporting Entity
Electrovaya Inc. (the "Company") is domiciled in Ontario, Canada, and is incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario). The Company's registered office is at 6688 Kitimat Road, Mississauga, Ontario, L5N 1P8 Canada. The Company's common shares trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol EFL and on the OTCQB under the symbol EFLVF. The Company has no immediate or ultimate controlling parent.
These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements comprise the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the "Group"). The Group is primarily involved in the design, development and manufacturing of Lithium-Ion batteries, battery systems and battery-related products for energy storage, clean electric transportation and other specialized applications.
2. Basis of Presentation
a) Statement of Compliance
These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared based on the principles of International Accounting Standard 34, "Interim Financial Reporting" as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB").The unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's September 30, 2021 audited annual consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.
These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements were authorized for issuance by the Company's Board of Directors on February 10, 2022.
b) Basis of Accounting
These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities as they fall due in the normal course of business.
c) Functional and Presentation Currency
These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars and have been rounded to the nearest thousands, except per share amounts and when otherwise indicated. The functional currency of the Company is the Canadian dollar and the functional currencies of the Group's subsidiaries include Canadian dollars and US dollars.
d) Use of Judgements and Estimates.
The preparation of the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements are in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosures with respect to contingent assets and liabilities.
ELECTROVAYA INC. Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) |
Management base their judgments, estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that they believe are reasonable under the circumstances. The economic environment could also impact certain estimates and discount rates necessary to prepare our consolidated financial statements, including significant estimates and discount rates applicable to the determination of the recoverable amounts used in our impairment testing of our non-financial assets. Management's assessment of these factors forms the basis for their judgments on the carrying values of assets and liabilities, and the accrual of our costs and expenses. Actual results could differ materially from our estimates and assumptions. Management reviews the estimates and underlying assumptions on an ongoing basis and make revisions as determined necessary. Revisions are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and may impact future periods as well.
e) Seasonality and impact of COVID-19
The Company has not historically experienced seasonality in its business. In recent periods, however, revenue has decreased in the first quarter of the year which reflects the customers' preference to defer our product delivery past the seasonal holidays and into the new year due to an increasing e-commerce demand and need to minimize changes or disruptions at high volume distribution centres. This seasonality has also been increased due to the impact of the COVID-19 on the general consumer community, as online shopping increases and distribution centres deal with higher than normal volumes. Furthermore, while demand for lithium ion batteries from the materials handling electric vehicle sector is emerging, the sales cycle and customer purchasing patterns are highly variable making quarter to quarter predictions difficult.
f) Significant Accounting Policies
The accounting policies in these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements are the same as those applied in the Company's consolidated financial statements as at and for
the year ended September 30, 2021.
.
3. Standards issued but not yet effective
At the date of authorization of these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements certain new standards, amendments and interpretations to existing IFRS standards have been published but are not yet effective and have not been adopted by the Company.
Management anticipates that the pronouncements will be adopted in the Company's accounting policy for the first period beginning after the effective date of the pronouncement. The new standards and interpretations that have been issued are not expected to have a material impact of the Company's unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

The term of the agreement was for six months and could be terminated by either party upon 90 days notice.
In July 2021 the facility was acquired by an investor group controlled by the family of Dr. Sankar Das Gupta, Electrovaya's CEO and controlling shareholder, and which group includes its COO, Dr. Rajshekar Das Gupta. The Facility Usage Agreement was not changed on the change of ownership and remains in effect between the Company and the owner, such that the monthly payment of $25,000 is now with a related party of Electrovaya.
In December 2021 the Facility Usage Agreement was renewed for a further 12 months on the same terms and conditions.
Special Option Grants
In September 2021, on the recommendation of the Compensation Committee of the Company, a committee composed entirely of independent directors, the Board of Directors of the Company determined that it is advisable and in the best interests of the Company to amend the terms of the compensation of certain key personnel to incentivize future performance, to encourage retention of their services, and to align their interests with those of the Company's shareholders.
Dr. Sankar Das Gupta was granted two million options which vest in two tranches of one million options each based on reaching specific target market capitalizations. As the target market capitalizations have not yet been reached, none of these options have vested.

Fair Value
IFRS 13 "Fair Value Measurement" provides guidance about fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value are required to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is based on three levels of inputs. The first two levels are considered observable and the last unobservable. These levels are used to measure fair values as follows:
ELECTROVAYA INC. Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) |
- Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly.
- Level 2 - Inputs, other than Level 1 inputs that are observable for assets and liabilities, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted market prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
- Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
The following table presents the carrying and approximate fair values of the Company's financial instruments:
| As at December 31, 2021 | As at September 30, 2021 | ||||||
Financial assets: | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total |

Risk Management
The Company may be exposed to risks of varying degrees of significance which could affect its ability to achieve its strategic objectives. The main objectives of the Company's risk management processes are to ensure that the risks are properly identified and that the capital base is adequate in relation to those risks. The principal risks to which the Company is exposed are described below. There have been no changes in risk exposure since the prior year unless otherwise noted.
ELECTROVAYA INC. Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) |
Capital risk
The Company manages its capital to ensure that there are adequate capital resources for the Company to maintain and develop its products. The capital structure of the Company consists of shareholders' equity and depends on the underlying profitability of the Company's operations.
The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it, based on the funds available to the Company, in order to support the development, manufacture and marketing of its products. The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management, but rather relies on the expertise of the Company's management to sustain future development of the business.
The Group's capital management objectives are:
∙ to ensure the Group's ability to continue as a going concern.
∙ to provide an adequate return to shareholders by pricing products and services commensurately
with the level of risk.
The Group monitors capital on the basis of the carrying amount of equity plus its short-term debt comprised of the promissory notes, less cash and cash equivalents as presented on the face of the statement of financial position.
The Group sets the amount of capital in proportion to its overall financing structure, comprised of equity and long-term debt. The Group manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in the light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group issues new shares or increases its long-term debt.
Capital for the reporting periods under review is summarized as follows:
31‐Dec‐21 | 30‐Sep‐21 | |||||
Total (Deficiency) | $ | (3,409 | ) | $ | (1,696 | ) |
Cash and cash equivalents | (470 | ) | (4,202 | ) | ||

Working capital facilities | 3,111 | 3,277 | ||||
Other Long-term liabilities | 3,163 | 3,220 | ||||
Overall Financing | $ | 8,187 | $ | 10,166 | ||
Capital to Overall financing Ratio | -0.47 | -0.58 |
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that the counter-party fails to discharge an obligation to the Company. The Company is exposed to this risk due to its cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables.
ELECTROVAYA INC. Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) |
Cash is held with financial institutions, each of which had at December 31, 2021 a rating of R-1 mid or above.
The Company manages its credit risk related to trade and other receivables by establishing procedures to establish credit limits and approval policies. The balance in trade and other receivables is primarily attributable to trade accounts receivables. In the opinion of management, the credit risk is moderate and no credit losses are expected. Management is taking appropriate action to mitigate this risk by adjusting credit terms.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that we may not have cash available to satisfy our financial obligations as they come due. The majority of our financial liabilities recorded in accounts payable, accrued and other current liabilities and provisions are due within 90 days. We manage liquidity risk by maintaining a portfolio of liquid funds and having access to a revolving credit facility. We believe that cash flow from operating activities, together with cash on hand, cash from our A/R, and borrowings available under the Revolver are sufficient to fund our currently anticipated financial obligations, and will remain available in the current environment.
Market risk
Market risk incorporates a range of risks. Movement in risk factors, such as market price risk and currency risk, affect the fair value of financial assets and liabilities. The Company is exposed to these risks as the ability of the Company to develop or market its products and the future profitability of the Company is related to the market price of its primary competitors for similar products.
Interest rate risk
The Company has variable interest debt as described in Note 8 and 10. Changes in interest rates will affect future interest expense and cash flows. The Company does not enter into derivative instruments to reduce this exposure.
Foreign currency risk
The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk. The Company's functional currency is the Canadian dollar and the financial statements are presented in United States dollars. Changes in the relative values of these currencies will give rise to changes in other comprehensive income.
Purchases are transacted in Canadian dollars, United States dollars and Euro. Management believes the foreign exchange risk derived from any currency conversions may have a material effect on the results of its operations. The financial instruments impacted by a change in exchange rates include our exposures to the above financial assets or liabilities denominated in non-functional currencies. Cash held by the Company in US dollars at December 31, 2021 was $84 (September 30, 2021 $1,136).
If the US dollar to Canadian foreign exchange rate changed by 2% this would change the recorded Net gain by $41 (2020-$33).
ELECTROVAYA INC. Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) |
Price risk
The Company is exposed to price risk. Price risk is the risk that the commodity prices that the Company charges are significantly influenced by its competitors and the commodity prices that the Company must charge to meet its competitors may not be sufficient to meet its expenses. The Company reduces the price risk by ensuring that it obtains information regarding the prices set by its competitors to ensure that its prices are appropriate to the unique attributes of our product. In the opinion of management, the price risk is low and is not material.
