Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements Three Months Ended December 31, 2020 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars) (Unaudited)

CHAR Technologies Ltd.

1. Nature of business and going concern

CHAR Technologies Ltd. (the “Company” or “CHAR”) is a cleantech development and services company, specializing in high temperature pyrolysis, converting woody materials and organic waste into renewable gases (renewable natural gas and green hydrogen) and biocarbon (activated charcoal “SulfaCHAR” and solid biofuel “CleanFyre”). Additional services include custom equipment for industrial water treatment, and providing services in environmental compliance, environmental management, site investigation and remediation, engineering and resource efficiency. The Company is listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange”) trading under the symbol YES.V. The Company’s head office address is 789 Don Mills Road, Suite 403, Toronto, Ontario, M3C 1T5.

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. Accordingly, they do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern, and therefore be required to realize its assets and liquidate its liabilities and commitments in other than the normal course of business and at amounts different from those in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Such adjustments could be material. It is not possible to predict whether the company will be able to raise adequate financing or to ultimately attain profitable of operations. These conditions indicate the existence of material uncertainties that may cause doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Changes in future conditions could require material write downs of the carrying values of assets.

The Company has not yet realized profitable operations and has incurred significant losses to date resulting in a cumulative deficit of $5,741,299 as at December 31, 2020 (September 30, 2020 - $5,546,828). The recoverability of the carrying value of the assets and the Company’s continued existence is dependent upon the achievement of profitable operations, or the ability of the Company to raise alternative financing, if necessary. While management has been historically successful in raising the necessary capital, it cannot provide assurance that it will be able to execute on its business strategy or be successful in future financing activities. As at December 31, 2020, the Company had current assets of $1,128,644 (September 30, 2020 - $658,367) to cover current liabilities of $762,200 (September 30, 2020 - $874,826).

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization characterized the outbreak of a strain of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) as a pandemic which has resulted in a series of on-going public health and emergency measures that have been put in place to combat the spread of the virus. The duration and impact of COVID-19 is unknown at this time and it is not possible to reliably estimate the impact that the length and severity of these developments will have on the financial results and condition of the Company in future periods.

On February 25, 2021, the Board of Directors approved these condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

2. Significant accounting policies

(a) Statement of compliance

The Company applies International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements required by IFRS as issued by the IASB.

The policies applied in these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements are based on IFRSs issued and outstanding as of February 25, 2021, the date the Board of Directors approved the statements. The same accounting policies and methods of computation are followed in these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements as compared with the most recent audited annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended September 30, 2020, except as noted below.

  • 5 -

Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements Three Months Ended December 31, 2020 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars) (Unaudited)

2. Significant accounting policies (continued)

Any subsequent changes to IFRS that are given effect in the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ending September 30, 2021 could result in restatement of these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

(b) Basis of consolidation

These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated on consolidation. The consolidated financial statements of CHAR and its wholly owned subsidiaries Char Biocarbon Inc. and Altech Environmental Consulting Ltd. are consolidated from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases.

(c) Change in accounting policies

IFRS 16 - Leases

In January 2016, the IASB issued IFRS 16 - Leases ("IFRS 16"), replacing IAS 17 - Leases. IFRS 16 provides a single lessee accounting model and requires the lessee to recognize assets and liabilities for all leases on its statement of financial position, providing the reader with greater transparency of an entity’s lease obligations.

On October 1, 2019, the Company adopted IFRS 16 and recognized right-of-use assets of $137,159 and lease liabilities of $89,160 (Office space and land) and right-of-use assets of $65,104 and lease liabilities of $65,104 (Vehicles) (notes 6 and 10).

All leases are accounted for by recognizing a right-of-use asset and a lease liability except for:

  • Leases of low value assets; and

  • Leases with a duration of twelve months or less.

Lease liabilities are measured at the present value of the contractual payments due to the lessor over the lease term, with the discount rate determined by the incremental borrowing rate on commencement of the lease is used. Variable lease payments are only included in the measurement of the lease liability if they depend on an index or rate. In such cases, the initial measurement of the lease liability assumes the variable element will remain unchanged throughout the lease term. Other variable lease payments are expensed in the period to which they relate.

On initial recognition, the carrying value of the lease liability also includes:

  • Amounts expected to be payable under any residual value guarantee;

  • The exercise price of any purchase option granted if it is reasonable certain to assess that option;

  • Any penalties payable for terminating the lease, if the term of the lease has been estimated on the basis of termination option being exercised.

Right-of-use assets are initially measured at the amount of the lease liability, reduced for any lease incentives received, and increased for:

  • Lease payments made at or before commencement of the lease;

  • Initial direct costs incurred; and

  • The amount of any provision recognized where the Company is contractually required to dismantle, remove or restore the leased asset.

Lease liabilities, on initial measurement, increase as a result of interest charged at a constant rate on the balance outstanding and are reduced for lease payments made.

Right-of-use assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of the lease or over the remaining economic life of the asset if this is judged to be shorter than the lease term.

  • 6 -

CHAR Technologies Ltd. Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements Three Months Ended December 31, 2020 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars) (Unaudited)

2. Significant accounting policies (continued)

(c) Change in accounting policies (continued)

IFRS 16 - Leases (continued)

When the Company revises its estimate of the term of any lease, it adjusts the carrying amount of the lease liability to reflect the payments to make over the revised term, which are discounted at the same discount rate that applied on lease commencement. The carrying value of lease liabilities is similarly revised when the variable element of future lease payments dependent on a rate or index is revised. In both cases an equivalent adjustment is made to the carrying value of the right-of-use asset, with the revised carrying amount being amortized over the remaining (revised) lease term.

(d) Critical accounting judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The preparation of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and revenue 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 ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized 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.

Critical areas of estimation and judgments in applying accounting policies include the following:

Going concern

As discussed in note 1, these consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS on a going concern basis, which assumes the realization of assets and discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business within the foreseeable future. Management uses judgment in determining assumptions for cash flow projections, such as anticipated financing, anticipated sales and future commitments to assess the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. A critical judgment is that the Company continues to raise funds going forward and satisfy their obligations as they become due.

Deferred taxes

The calculation of deferred taxes is based on assumptions which are subject to uncertainty as to timing and which tax rates are expected to apply when temporary differences reverse. Deferred tax recorded is also subject to uncertainty regarding the magnitude of non-capital losses available for carry forward and of the balances in various tax pools. By their nature, these estimates are subject to measurement uncertainty, and the effect on the financial statements from changes in such estimates in future period could be material. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that they will be able to be utilized against future taxable income. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each statement of financial position date and adjusted to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized.

Useful lives of property and equipment and intangibles

The Company reviews the estimated useful lives of property and equipment and intangibles with finite useful lives at the end of each year and assesses whether the useful lives of certain items should be shortened or extended, due to various factors including technology, competition and revised service offerings. During the year ended September 30, 2020, the Company was not required to adjust the useful lives of any assets based on the factors described above.

2. Significant accounting policies (continued)

(d) Critical accounting judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty (continued)

Business combinations

In a business combination, all identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired are recorded at their fair values. One of the most significant estimates relates to the determination of the fair value of these assets and liabilities. For any intangible asset identified, depending on the type of intangible asset and the complexity of determining its fair value, an independent valuation expert or management may develop the fair value, using appropriate valuation techniques, which are closely to the assumptions made by management regarding the future performance of the assets concerned and any changes in the discount rate applied.

Share-based payments

The Company estimates the fair value of convertible securities such as warrants and options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model which requires significant estimation around assumptions and inputs such as expected term to maturity, expected volatility and expected dividends.

The Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy (CEWS) was announced on March 27, 2020.
