MANAGEMENT’S RESPONSIBILITY
To the Shareholders of Aurora Solar Technologies Inc.:
Management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of the accompanying Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements, including responsibility for significant accounting judgements and estimates in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards. This responsibility includes selecting appropriate accounting principles and methods, and making decisions affecting the measurement of transactions in which objective judgement is required.
In discharging its responsibilities for the integrity and fairness of the financial statements, management designs and maintains the necessary accounting systems and related internal controls to provide reasonable assurance that transactions are authorized, assets are safe guarded and financial records are properly maintained to provide reliable information for the preparation of financial statements.
The Board of Directors and the Audit Committee are composed primarily of Directors who are neither management nor employees of the Company. The Board is responsible for overseeing management in the performance of its financial reporting responsibilities, and for approving the financial information presented. The Board fulfils these responsibilities by reviewing the financial information prepared by management and discussing relevant matters with management and the external auditors. The Audit Committee has the responsibility of meeting with management, and the external auditors to discuss the internal controls over the financial reporting process, auditing matters and financial reporting issues. The Board is also responsible for recommending the appointment of the Company’s external auditors.
We draw your attention to Note 1 in the Consolidated Financial Statements which indicates the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast substantial doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company’s independent auditor has not performed a review of these Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with standards established by the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants for a review of interim financial statements by an entity’s auditor.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1) Nature of operations and going concern
Aurora Solar Technologies Inc. (“Aurora” or the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada on 26 October 2006 as Pulse Capital Corp, a capital pool company. The Company, together with its subsidiary, develops and markets inline quality control systems for the solar cell manufacturing industry. The address of the Company’s corporate and administrative office and principal place of business is #100 – 788 Harbourside Drive, North Vancouver, BC, V7P 3R7.
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements (the “Financial Statements”) have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assumes the realization of assets and the discharge of liabilities in the normal course of operations.
There are several adverse conditions that may cast significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred operating losses since inception, is unable to self-finance operations and has significant on-going cash requirements to meet its overhead obligations.
The continuing operations of the Company are dependent upon economic and market factors which involve uncertainties including the Company’s ability to raise adequate equity financing and ultimately develop profitable operations. The Company is of the view that these objectives can be met, and that the going concern assumption is appropriate.
If the going concern assumption were not appropriate for these Financial Statements then adjustments would be necessary to the carrying value of assets and liabilities, the reported expenses and the consolidated statement of financial position classifications used, and such adjustments could be material.
The global transmission of COVID-19 and the related global efforts to contain its spread resulted in international border closings, travel restrictions, significant disruptions to border operations, supply chains and customer activity and demand, service cancellations, reductions and other changes, and quarantines, as well as considerable general concern and uncertainty.
The impacts of the COVID-19 crisis that have had an effect on us include: a decrease in short-term and/or long-term demand and/or pricing for our products; reduced sales as a result of travel restrictions impacting customer engagement; higher rates of losses on our amounts receivable due to credit default resulting in delays in the collectability of amounts receivable (Note 6); increased costs resulting from our efforts to mitigate the impact of COVID-19, deterioration of worldwide credit and financial markets that could limit our ability to obtain external financing to fund our operations and capital expenditures; resulting in disruptions to our supply chain, and adverse impacts on our information technology systems and our internal control systems as a result of the need to increase remote work arrangements.
A material adverse effect on our employees, customer, suppliers and/or logistics providers could have a material adverse impact on us.

2) Basis of preparation – statement of compliance
These Financial Statements, including comparatives, have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and related IFRS Interpretations Committee (“IFRICs”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).
The Financial Statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for financial instruments classified as financial instruments at fair value through profit and loss, which are stated at their fair value.
In addition, these Financial Statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting except for cash flow information.
The policies set out were consistently applied to all the periods presented unless otherwise noted below. The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, profit, and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an on-going basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and further periods if the review affects both current and future periods.
3) Significant accounting policies
The accounting policies and methods of computation followed in preparing these Financial Statements are the same as those followed in preparing the most recent audited annual consolidated financial statements. For a summary of significant accounting policies, refer to the Company’s audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2021.
4) Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
In the application of the Company’s accounting policies, which are described in Note 3, management is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount and classification of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an on-going basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revisions affect only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods, if the revision affects both current and future periods.
The following are the critical judgements and areas involving estimates, that management have made in the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amount recognized in the Financial Statements.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
a) Critical judgements in applying accounting policies
Determination of functional currency
In accordance with IAS 21, The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates, management determined that the functional currency of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries is the Canadian dollar.
Revenue recognition
The amount of revenue recognized is adjusted for expected returns, which are estimated by management based on the historical data for the related types of goods sold. Actual results may differ from management estimates. Revenue is recognized once the control of a good or service is transferred to a customer and is available to make use of the good or service. Contracts, for goods or services that are not considered distinct, are considered one performance obligation that may include several goods or services that are provided to a customer and delivered against a performance metric. Judgement is used to determine whether multiple promised goods or services in a contract should be accounted for separately or as bundle.
b) Key sources of estimation uncertainty
Inventory
The Company’s raw inventory is only valuable to the extent that it can be turned into saleable product. Sales acquired at a level above their cost, volume of sales necessary to use inventory and other factors are all an estimate of the Company.
Patents and other assets
The Company reviews the valuation of these assets at the end of each reporting period based on the expected remaining useful life of patents and the recoverability of patent application costs in relation to the market changes of relative technologies.
Share-based payments
The Company records the fair market value as described by the Black-Scholes method for the recording of sharebased payments. There are several estimates that form a part of the calculation and significant deviations in any estimate could have a material impact on the financial statements.
Income taxes
Provisions for income taxes are made using the best estimate of the amount expected to be paid based on a qualitative assessment of all relevant factors. The Company reviews the adequacy of these provisions at the end of the reporting period. However, it is possible that at some future date an additional liability could result from audits by taxing authorities. Where the outcome of these tax-related matters is different from the amounts that were originally recorded, such differences will affect the tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.
Amounts receivable
The Company estimates the recoverability of amounts receivable based on assessments of client credit ratings, payment history and other related items.
Provisions and contingent liabilities:
A provision is recognized if the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation for product liability, accrual of product warranties, liabilities for potential

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
litigation claims and settlements. Management must use judgement in determining whether all the above three conditions have been met to recognize a provision or whether a continent liability is in existence at the reporting date. Provisions and contingencies can vary materially from management’s initial estimate and affect future consolidated financial statements.
5) Financial instruments and risk management
a) Financial instrument classification and measurement
Financial instruments of the Company carried on the Interim Condensed Interim Consolidated Statement of Financial Position are carried at amortized cost except for cash which is carried at fair value. There are no significant differences between the carrying value of financial instruments and their estimated fair values as at 30 June 2021 due to the immediate or short-term maturities of the financial instruments.
The fair value of the Company’s cash is quoted in active markets. The Company classifies the fair value of these transactions according to the following hierarchy:
Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical financial instruments.
Level 2 – quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant and significant value drivers are observable in active markets.
Level 3 – valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.
The Company’s cash has been assessed on the fair value hierarchy described above and classified as Level 1.
b) Fair values of financial assets and liabilities
The Company’s financial instruments include cash, amounts receivable, and amounts payable and accrued liabilities. As at 30 September 2021, the carrying value of cash is fair value. The remaining financial instruments approximate their fair value due to their short- term nature.
c) Other risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices will affect the Company’s earnings or the value of its financial instruments. Market risk is comprised of commodity price risk and interest rate risk. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control exposures within acceptable limits, while maximizing returns. These market risks are evaluated by monitoring changes in key economic indicators and market information on an on-going basis and adjusting operations and budgets accordingly.
d) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation and cause the other party to incur a financial loss. The Company’s exposure to credit risk is on its bank accounts. The Company is exposed to credit risk by holding cash, which are all held in financial institutions in Canada and China, and management believes the exposure to credit risk with respect to such institutions is not significant. Estimates of expected credit losses take into account the Company’s collection history, deterioration of collection rates during the average credit period, the impact of COVID 19, as well as observable charges in and forecasts of future economic conditions that affect default risk. As at 30 September 2021 the Company has $Nil trade amounts receivable.

e) Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk of losses that arise as a result of changes in contracted interest rates. The Company is not exposed to interest rate risk.
f) Currency risk
Currency risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. To manage this risk the Company maintains only the minimum amount of foreign cash required to fund its on-going expenditures. The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk, as it deals with customers and vendors in currencies other than its functional currency. A 5% change in exchange would impact the financial statements by $12,000 (31 March 2021- $27,000). As at 30 September 2021 the Company held currency totalling the following:
| 30 September | 31 March | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rounded(000’s) | Impact | 2021 | 2021 | ||||
| Cash in United States dollars | 5% | $ | (10,000) | $USD | 157,000 | $USD | 493,000 |

| Amountspayable in United States dollars | 5% | $ | 1,000 | $USD | (11,000) | $USD | (93,000) |
g) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk arises through the excess of financial obligations over available financial assets due at any point in time. The Company’s objective in managing this is to maintain readily available reserves to meet its liquidity requirements at any point in time.
It is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant credit, interest rate, liquidity, or market risks in respect of these financial instruments. The Company’s policies and processes of managing all risks associated with its financial instruments have not changed during the period.

Other assets represent the cumulative legal fees incurred by the Company on patent application processes that are currently ongoing. The Company’s management believes that these applications will lead to the issuance of a legal patent, and therefore has capitalized the costs associated with this process. Once a particular patent application process completes, the costs associated with the newly issued patent will be reclassified to patents and depreciated over its useful life of 20 years.

price of $0.40 per share. The Company paid a total of $288,117 in agent, consulting, legal and filing fees related to the share issuances. In consideration of the Agent’s services, the company paid commission fees of $153,775 and issued 615,100 broker warrants on closing. Each broker warrant entitles the Agent to purchase one Unit for a period of one year from the closing date at a price of $0.25 per unit.
The Company has adopted a stock option plan which provides that the Board of Directors of the Company may from time to time, in its discretion, and in accordance with the TSXV requirements, grant to directors, officers, employees and consultants to the Company, non-transferrable options to purchase common shares exercisable under the Plan for a period of up to 10 years from the date of grant. Vesting terms are determined by the Board of Directors for each grant of options. The aggregate number of common shares issuable under the Plan must not exceed 17,635,385 common shares. As at 30 September 2021, the remaining number of common shares available for issuance is 8,575,385 (31 March 2021 – 8,375,385) common shares.
The fair value of stock options is determined by the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model with assumptions for riskfree rates, dividend yields, historical volatility to estimate the market price of the Company’s common shares, forfeiture rates and expected life of the options.
During the six months ended 30 September 2021, the Company granted $Nil options (31 March 2021 – 4,230,000 options) to officers and consultants of the Company.

The Company includes components of equity in its managed capital. 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. Additional funds may be required to finance investments of the Company.
Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believe that this approach, given the size of the Company, is reasonable. The Company currently is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements. There were no changes in the Company’s approach to capital management during the six months ended 30 September 2021.
