We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Alpha Technologies Ltd. and its subsidiaries, which comprise the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2017, and the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements. Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditor’s Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. Opinion In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Alpha Technologies Ltd. and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2017, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. /s/ “BDO CANADA, LLP” Vancouver, Canada February 22, 2019 BDO Canada LLP, a Canadian limited liability partnership, is a member of BDO International Limited, a UK company limited by guarantee, and forms part of the international BDO network of independent member firms.

Alpha Technologies Ltd. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Expressed in US Dollars December 31, 2017 Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies 1 Nature of business / Operations The principal business of Alpha Technologies Ltd. includes the design, production, distribution and servicing of AC and DC power products and systems with a primary focus on the North American telecommunication market. The Company also provides engineering, furnishing and installation of its products to its customer base. 2 Principles of Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Alpha Technologies Ltd. (referred as "Alpha”) and its subsidiaries Alpha Mexico Network Power S.A. de C.V., Riverfront Holdings S.R.L. de C.V., Alpha Technical Services Ltd. and Argus Research Ltd. (collectively "the Company"). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Alpha owns 99.9% of both Alpha Mexico Network Power S.A de C.V. and Riverfront Holdings.

Related by common officers Alpha Aviation Inc. Related by common officers 3 Significant accounting policies These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles of the United States of America (GAAP) and are stated in US dollars, except where otherwise disclosed.


 
Alpha Technologies Ltd. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Expressed in US Dollars December 31, 2017 Financial instruments The Company initially records cash, accounts receivables, bank indebtedness, long-term debt, due to/from related parties, accounts payable and accrued liabilities at fair value except for due to/from related party, which are recorded at the amounts agreed by the parties to the transactions. Subsequent measurement is at amortized cost. Financial assets are tested for impairment at the end of each reporting period when there are indications that the assets may be impaired. Income taxes The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability approach, which requires deferred tax assets and liabilities be recognized using enacted tax rates to measure the effect of temporary differences between book and tax bases on recorded assets and liabilities. In addition, a valuation allowance is established to reduce any deferred tax asset for which it is determined that it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. Financial statement basis and tax bases of assets differ due to the company utilizing accelerated depreciation methods for tax purposes on certain assets which are being depreciated less rapidly for financial statement purposes, the use of allowances for financial statement purposes, and other timing differences. The Company recognizes tax related interest and penalties in income tax expense in its Consolidated Statement of Income. With respect to accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, the Company evaluates tax positions to determine whether the benefits of tax positions are more likely than not of being sustained upon audit based on the technical merits of the tax position. For tax positions that are more likely than not of being sustained upon audit, the Company recognizes the largest amount of the benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. For tax positions that are not more likely than not of being sustained upon audit, the Company does not recognize any portion of the benefit. If the more likely than not threshold is not met in the period for which a tax position is taken, the Company may subsequently recognize the benefit of that tax position if the tax matter is effectively settled, the statute of limitations expires, or if the more likely than not threshold is met in a subsequent period. Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments that subject the Company to potential concentration of credit risk consist principally of trade accounts receivable. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition. Cash Cash consists of cash on hand and on deposit with financial institutions.


 
Alpha Technologies Ltd. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Expressed in US Dollars December 31, 2017 Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Cost is determined by applying standard costs which approximate the weighted average cost of materials, work-in-process, and finished goods. Finished goods and work-in-process inventory include costs of conversion (allocation of variable production overheads and direct costs such as standard labour charges which approximate actual labour employed). Any variances between standard and actual costs are expensed in the period. Standard costs are updated annually or when significant changes occur. Property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. If events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the property, plant and equipment may not be recoverable, a recoverability analysis is performed based upon estimated undiscounted cash flows to be generated from the property, plant and equipment. If the analysis indicates that the carrying value is not recoverable from future cash flows, the property, plant and equipment are written down to their estimated fair value and an impairment loss is recognized. Depreciation is provided as follows: Computer equipment (including under capital lease) straight-line over 3 years Computer software straight-line over 1 year Furniture and office equipment (including under capital lease) straight-line over 5 years Leasehold improvements straight-line over lease term plus one renewal period Production and Research and development equipment 20% diminishing balance Vehicles (including under capital lease) 20% - 30% diminishing balance Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Investment tax credits Investment tax credits are accounted for using the flow-through method whereby such credits are accounted for as a reduction of income tax expense in the period in which the credit arises. Leases Leases entered into are classified as either capital or operating. Leases that transfer substantially all of the benefits and risks associated with ownership of the assets are classified as capital leases and are recorded as an acquisition of an asset and incurrence of an obligation. Assets under capital lease are amortized in a manner consistent with other assets owned by the Company. All other leases are accounted for as operating wherein rental payments are expensed as incurred. Under US GAAP operating leases are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.


 
Alpha Technologies Ltd. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Expressed in US Dollars December 31, 2017 Warranties The Company’s products are warranted for a period of two years. The Company provides for estimated product warranty expenses when the related products are sold. The assessment of the adequacy of the reserve includes a review of open claims and historical experience. Revenue recognition The Company recognizes revenue from product sales when there is a persuasive evidence of arrangement, delivery has occurred, collectability is reasonably assured, and pricing is fixed or determinable. Where appropriate, provisions are made at that time for estimated warranty costs. Amounts received prior to product shipment are recorded as deferred revenue. The Company recognizes revenue from construction management and service installation contracts using the percent completion method. The cost incurred is compared to estimated total cost to complete the contracts to determine the percentage of completion. Cash received in advance of the revenue recognition criteria being met is recorded as deferred revenue. Shipping and handling costs The Company classifies shipping and handling as cost of sales in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Total shipping and handling costs were approximately $500,660 for the year ended December 31, 2017. Advertising costs The Company incurred advertising costs during the year of $564,158 which was expensed as incurred.


 
Alpha Technologies Ltd. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Expressed in US Dollars December 31, 2017 Foreign exchange The functional currency of Alpha is the Canadian dollar. Results of operations of Alpha and of the foreign operations of subsidiaries, whose functional currency is their respective local currency, are translated in the reporting currency, U.S. dollars, in accordance with ASC Topic 830 “Foreign Currency Matters”. Revenues and expenses are translated using average exchange rates during the periods. The assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates as of the balance sheet dates. Exchange gains or losses resulting from translating the foreign currency financial statements are recognized as a component of other comprehensive income. Transaction gains and losses resulting from exchange rate changes on transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the applicable subsidiary are included in the Consolidated Statements of Income, within “Foreign Exchange”, in the year in which the change occurs. For transactions undertaken by the Company in foreign currencies, monetary assets and liabilities are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate in effect at the end of the year. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate prevailing when the assets were acquired, or the liabilities assumed. Revenues and expenses are translated at the rate approximating the rate of exchange on the transaction date. Exchange gains and losses are included in the determination of net income (loss) for the year. Research and development The Company expenses research costs as incurred. Development costs are expensed as incurred unless they qualify for capitalization and amortization as an intangible asset under ASC 350, ‘Intangibles – Goodwill and other’. As it is management’s view that there is no certainty of recovering development costs, no development costs have been recorded as intangible assets. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of an acquired business over the fair value assigned to the acquired assets and liabilities assumed in the business combination. Goodwill and intangibles are tested for impairment at least annually and whenever events or circumstances occur indicating that a possible impairment may have been incurred. Goodwill has an indefinite life and is tested for impairment by determining the fair value of the Company’s reporting units. These estimated fair values are based on financial projections, certain cash flow measures. Impairment losses, if any, are recorded in the consolidated statement of income as part of income from operations. The Company has adopted the provisions of ASC 350-20, Goodwill and Other. The provisions allow for the company to assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that evidence of goodwill impairment exists. If the Company determines that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than it’s carrying amount, then performing the two-step impairment test is unnecessary.


 
Alpha Technologies Ltd. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Expressed in US Dollars December 31, 2017 Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent liabilities, and revenues and expenses during the year. Significant areas requiring the use of management estimates relate to provisions for inventory obsolescence, warranty expenses, useful lives of property, plant and equipment, percentage of completion of construction management and service installation contracts, deferred income taxes and allowance for doubtful accounts receivable. Actual results could differ from these estimates. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)”. In general, this standard will require the company to recognize revenue when it transfers goods or services to customers in the amount of anticipated consideration in which the company is entitled. This standard also requires additional disclosure requirements that result in the company providing financial statement users comprehensive information regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flow from the company's contracts with customers. This standard will be effective for the calendar year ending December 31, 2019 with. The Company’s initial assessment conclude that the adoption of the ASU will not have a material impact on its accounting for revenue in the consolidated financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases. In general, this standard requires a lessee to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. This standard will be effective for the calendar year ending December 31, 2020 with retrospective application required. The Company has not determined the impact of adopting this standard on the accompanying financial statements. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This update will replace the incurred loss impairment methodology for credit losses on financial instruments with a methodology that requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods with those fiscal year. The Company has not determined the impact of adopting this standard on the accompanying financial statements.

Alpha Technologies Ltd. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Expressed in US Dollars December 31, 2017 evaluated these ITCs, and due to the average annual spending by the Company in excess of the scientific research, exploration and development (SRED) tax credit, a full valuation allowance has been taken on these balances. A full valuation allowance has also been taken on the net capital losses due to the unlikelihood of incurring capital gains. The resulting realized deferred tax asset as at December 31, 2017 of $1,265,531, however, could be adjusted in future periods if estimates of future taxable income are reduced or increased and additional weight is given to subjective evidence such as our projections for growth or change in SRED expenditure/ITC credits.
