Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, and the period from incorporation on August 16, 2021 to September 30, 2021 (Expressed in United States dollars) (Unaudited)
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN
EV Technology Group Ltd. (formerly Blue Sky Energy Inc.) (the “Company” or “EVTG”) is a public company with a registered office address of 198 Davenport Road, Toronto, Ontario, M5R 1J2. The Company trades on the Neo Exchange Inc. (“NEO”) under the symbol “EVTG”, the OTC Markets Group Inc. (“OTCQB”) under the symbol “EVTGF” and on the Frankfurt Exchange under the symbol “B96A”. The Company’s mission is the acceleration of the adoption of electric vehicles.
On April 7, 2022, the Company completed a reverse takeover transaction with EV Experiences Inc. (formerly EV Technology Group Inc.) (“EVT”) (See Note 14). On December 9, 2021, EV Experiences Inc. acquired all the outstanding shares of Moke France SAS (see Note 13) and on April 22, 2022, EV Technology Group (UK) Limited was incorporated.
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis which assumes the Company will be able to meet its obligations and continue its operations for the next fiscal year.
At September 30, 2022, the Company had working capital of $383,207 (December 31, 2021 - $1,658,586) and a cumulative loss since inception of $18,343,268 (December 31, 2021 - $267,851). The Company has a need for equity capital and financing for working capital and development of its projects. These matters represent material uncertainties that cast substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. The Company's continuance as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain adequate financing and to reach profitable levels of operation. It is not possible to predict whether financing efforts will be successful or if the Company will attain profitable levels of operations. Management believes it will be successful in raising the necessary funding to continue operations in the normal course of operations, however, there is no assurance that funds will continue to be available on terms acceptable to the Company or at all. The financial statements do not reflect adjustments to the carrying value of assets and liabilities that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue operations and such adjustments could be material.
Novel Coronavirus (“COVID-19”)
The Company’s operations could be significantly adversely affected by the effects of a widespread global outbreak of a contagious disease, including the recent outbreak of respiratory illness caused by COVID-19. The Company cannot accurately predict the impact COVID-19 will have on its operations and the ability of others to meet their obligations with the Company, including uncertainties relating to the ultimate geographic spread of the virus, the severity of the disease, the duration of the outbreak, and the length of travel and quarantine restrictions imposed by governments of affected countries. In addition, a significant outbreak of contagious diseases in the human population could result in a widespread health crisis that could adversely affect the economies and financial markets of many countries, resulting in an economic downturn that could further affect the Company’s operations and ability to finance its operations.

Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, and the period from incorporation on August 16, 2021 to September 30, 2021 (Expressed in United States dollars) (Unaudited)
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
a) Statement of compliance
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Company were prepared in accordance with IFRS, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and in accordance with International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34, Interim Financial Reporting. These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies the Company adopted in its December 31, 2021 annual financial statements. These condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements of the Company for the period from incorporation on August 16, 2021 to December 31, 2021. The Board of Directors approved these financial statements for issue on November 14, 2022.
b) Basis of preparation
These condensed interim financial statements were prepared on a going concern basis, under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of financial assets and financial liabilities (including derivative instruments) at fair value through profit or loss.
The preparation of financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgment in applying the Company’s accounting policies. The Company’s condensed interim consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars. The functional currency for the Company is the Canadian dollar (“CAD”). The functional currency of EV Experiences Inc. is the United States dollar. The functional currency of Moke France SAS is the Euro and the functional currency of EV Technology Group (UK) Limited is the UK pound sterling (“GBP”).
Transactions in currencies other than the entity’s functional currency (foreign currencies) are recognized at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. Gains and losses are included in operations.
Financial statements of subsidiaries for which the functional currency is not the United States dollar are translated into United States dollars as follows: all asset and liability accounts are translated at the period end exchange rate and all earnings and expense accounts and cash flow statement items are translated at average exchange rates for the period. The resulting translation gains and losses are recorded as exchange differences on translating foreign operations in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“AOCI”).
The preparation of financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgment in applying the Company’s accounting policies.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION (continued)
c) Basis of consolidation
Subsidiaries consist of entities over which the Company is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns as well as the ability to affect these returns through the power to direct the relevant activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date control is transferred to the Company and are deconsolidated from the date control ceases. The condensed interim consolidated financial statements include all the assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and cash flows of the Company and its subsidiaries after eliminating inter-entity balances and transactions. These condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 comprise the financial statements of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries EV Experiences Inc., Moke France SAS, EV Technology Group (UK) Limited and 1000310362 Ontario Inc. All material intercompany transactions and balances between the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated on consolidation. Intercompany balances and any unrealized gains and losses or income and expenses arising from intercompany transactions are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements.
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the Company’s management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and related notes to the financial statements. Although these estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of the amount, event or actions, actual results may differ from these estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected. The significant areas of estimation and uncertainties considered by management in preparing the financial statements include:
Critical judgement in applying accounting policies:
- Income taxes, value added, withholding and other taxes The Company is subject to income, value added, withholding and other taxes. Significant judgment is required in determining the Company’s provisions for taxes. There are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. The Company recognizes liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due. The determination of the Company’s income, value added, withholding and other tax liabilities requires interpretation of complex laws and regulations. The Company’s interpretation of taxation law as applied to transactions and activities may not coincide with the interpretation of the tax authorities. All tax related filings are subject to government audit and potential reassessment subsequent to the financial statement reporting period. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the tax related accruals and deferred income tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.

(Expressed in United States dollars) (Unaudited)
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions (continued)
-
Business combination versus asset acquisition Judgment is used in determining whether an acquisition is a business combination or an asset acquisition. In a business combination, all identifiable assets and liabilities acquired are recorded at their fair values. In determining the allocation of the purchase price in a business combination, including any acquisition related contingent consideration, estimates including market based and appraisal values are used. The contingent consideration is measured at its acquisition-date fair value and included as part of the consideration transferred in a business combination. The Company has assessed that its acquisitions of Moke France SAS and 1000310362 Ontario Inc. and the reverse takeover of reverse takeover transaction with EV Experiences Inc. did not constitute business acquisitions in accordance with IFRS 3 and treated the acquisitions as asset acquisitions.
-
Determination of significant influence of investment in associates As at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company has classified its investment in Moke International Limited (“Moke”) as having significant influenced based on management’s judgement that its ownership of 15.5% of the outstanding shares of Moke along with its board seat and $5,000,000 loan represent significant influence over Moke.
-
Intangible assets
The Company generally applies the acquisition method of accounting to transactions involving intangible assets, which involves the allocation of the cost of an acquisition to the underlying net assets acquired based on their respective estimated fair values. As part of this allocation process, the Company must identify and attribute values to the intangible assets acquired. These determinations involve significant estimates and assumptions regarding cash flow projections, economic risk and weighted average cost of capital. These estimates and assumptions determine the amount allocated to intangible assets. If future events or results differ significantly from these estimates and assumptions, the Company may record impairment charges in the future. The Company tests, at least annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they may be impaired, in accordance with its accounting policies.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
New accounting policies
Equipment
Equipment is initially recorded at cost and subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment, if any. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method based on the following estimated useful lives:
Office equipment 5 years Leasehold improvements term of lease Demo vehicles 5 years
Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.
Leases and Right-of-Use Assets
Leases are recorded in accordance with IFRS 16, Leases. At inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. Contracts that convey the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration are accounted for as leases giving rise to right-of-use assets.
At the commencement date, a right-of-use asset is measured at cost, where cost comprises: (a) the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability; (b) any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, less any lease incentives received; (c) any initial direct costs incurred by the Company; and (d) an estimate of costs to be incurred by the Company in dismantling and removing the underlying asset, restoring the site on which it is located or restoring the underlying asset to the condition required by the terms and conditions of the lease, unless those costs are incurred to produce inventories. The Company subsequently measures a right-of-use asset at cost less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses; and adjusted for any re-measurement of the lease liability. Right-of-use assets are depreciated over the shorter of the asset’s useful life and the lease term.
A lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the unpaid lease payments. Subsequently, the Company measures a lease liability by: (a) increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability; (b) reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made; and (c) re-measuring the carrying amount to reflect any reassessment or lease modifications, or to reflect revised in-substance fixed lease payments. Each lease payment is allocated between repayment of the lease principal and interest. Interest on the lease liability in each period during the lease term is allocated to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the lease liability. Except where the costs are included in the carrying amount of another asset, the Company recognizes in profit or loss (a) the interest on a lease liability and (b) variable lease payments not included in the measurement of a lease liability in the period in which the event or condition that triggers those payments occurs.

Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Future accounting policies
Certain pronouncements were issued by the IASB or the IFRIC that are mandatory for accounting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023 or later periods. Many are not applicable or do not have a significant impact to the Company and have been excluded. The following have not yet been adopted and are being evaluated to determine their impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
New standards:
IFRS 10 – Condensed consolidated interim Financial Statements (“IFRS 10”) and IAS 28 – Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures (“IAS 28”) were amended in September 2014 to address a conflict between the requirements of IAS 28 and IFRS 10 and clarify that in a transaction involving an associate or joint venture, the extent of gain or loss recognition depends on whether the assets sold or contributed constitute a business. The effective date of these amendments is yet to be determined; however, early adoption is permitted.
IAS 1 – Presentation of Financial Statements (“IAS 1”) was amended in January 2020 to provide a more general approach to the classification of liabilities under IAS 1 based on the contractual arrangements in place at the reporting date. The amendments clarify that the classification of liabilities as current or noncurrent is based solely on a company’s right to defer settlement at the reporting date. The right needs to be unconditional and must have substance. The amendments also clarify that the transfer of a company’s own equity instruments is regarded as settlement of a liability, unless it results from the exercise of a conversion option meeting the definition of an equity instrument. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on January 1, 2023.
4. LOAN TO MOKE INTERNATIONAL LIMITED
During the period from incorporation on August 16, 2021 to December 31, 2021, the Company entered into a loan agreement with Moke International Limited (“Moke”) for an unsecured loan of $5,000,000 to Moke. Interest is accrued and calculated at 6% per annum. Principal plus accrued interest are due and payable on or before December 31, 2026. The loan included rights to certain shares of Moke.
The estimated fair value of the shares of Moke was estimated to be $2,232,000 based on a recent equity transaction completed by Moke.
The loan receivable was recorded at the residual value of $2,768,000 and will be accreted to its face value over its term using an effective interest rate of 20%. Accretion income of $207,345 was recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
As of September 30, 2022, the loan principal of $5,000,000 (December 31, 2021 - $5,000,000) plus accrued interest of $204,937 was outstanding. Accrued interest has been included in amounts receivable.

5. INVESTMENT IN ASSOCIATE
In connection with the rights to certain shares acquired with the loan to Moke (Note 4), the Company acquired 15.5% of Moke.

The board of directors has not established quantitative return on capital criteria for management and relies on the expertise of management and the board of directors to sustain future development of the business.
The Company is dependent upon external financing to fund its activities. To continue to carry out the Company’s planned development and funding of ongoing administrative expenses the Company will utilize its existing working capital and will raise additional capital as appropriate.

10. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Company’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks summarized below. There have been no significant changes in risks, objectives, policies and procedures for managing risks during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
Fair value hierarchy
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy with respect to required disclosures about the inputs to fair value measurements are:
-
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 or indirectly; and,
-
Level 3 – Inputs that are not based on observable market data.
The Company does not measure any financial instruments at fair value that require classification within the hierarchy.
The carrying value of amounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued liabilities reflected in the statement of financial position approximate fair value because of the relatively short-term maturities.
Foreign currency risk
Foreign currency risk is created by fluctuations in the fair value or cash flows of financial instruments due to changes in foreign exchange rates and exposure as a result investment in foreign subsidiaries. The Company’s foreign currency risk arises primarily with respect to the Canadian dollar, European Euro and the UK Pound Sterling. Fluctuations in the exchange rates between these currencies and the US dollar could have an impact on the Company’s business and results of operations. The Company has not used derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to foreign exchange fluctuations.
The following summary illustrates the fluctuations in the exchange rates applied during the nine months ended September 30, 2022:
| September 30, 2022: | ||
|---|---|---|
| Average rate | Closing rate | |
| CAD | 1.2925 | 1.3707 |
| EUR | 1.0638 | 0.9748 |
| GBP | 1.2573 | 1.1170 |
A $0.01 strengthening or weakening of the US dollar against any of these currencies at September 30, 2022 would result in an increase or decrease in net loss of approximately $2,009 and an increase or decrease in other comprehensive income of approximately $3,995.

(Expressed in United States dollars) (Unaudited)
10. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk associated with the inability of a third party to fulfill its payment obligations. The Company is exposed to the risk that third parties that owe it money will not perform their underlying obligations. The total carrying value of these financial instruments at September 30, 2022 was $3,038,017 (December 31, 2021 - $2,615,552), and the face value was $5,000,000. The Company mitigates its credit risk by only providing loans to entities where they have detailed knowledge of the entity’s operations and business strategy.
Liquidity risk
As at September 30, 2022 the Company had working capital of $383,207 (December 31, 2021 - $1,658,587). The Company expects to complete future equity or other debt financings, as required and available. However, there is no assurance that funds will be available on terms acceptable to the Company or at all.
11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company, from time to time, may be involved in various claims and legal proceedings. The Company cannot reasonably predict the likelihood or outcome of these activities. The Company does not believe that adverse decisions in any ending or threatened proceedings related to any matter, or any amount which may be required to be paid by reasons thereof, will have a material effect on the financial condition or future results of operations.
The Company is party to certain management and independent contractor contracts. These contracts require payments of approximately $245,130 to be made upon the occurrence of a change in control to the officers of the Company. The contingent payments have not been reflected in these condensed interim consolidated financial statements as a triggering event has not taken place. The Company is also committed to payments upon termination of approximately $135,697 pursuant to the terms of these contracts.
12. RELATED PARTIES TRANSACTIONS
During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company granted 8,550,000 options to directors and officers of the Company and recorded $1,728,357 in share-based compensation related to the vesting of these options (see Note 8(c)). In addition, the Company granted 4,300,000 DSUs to directors and officers of the Company and recorded $1,311,983 in share-based compensation related to the vesting of these DSUs (see Note 8(c)).
