NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019

(Unaudited)

(Expressed in thousands of US Dollars, except per share data)

 

 

1. NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN

 

A2Z SMART TECHNOLOGIES CORP. (the “Company” or “ A2ZTC “) was incorporated on January 15, 2018 under the laws of British Columbia as ECC Ventures 1 Corp. The head office is located at 1600 - 609 Granville Street, Vancouver , British Columbia V7Y 1C3. The Company’s registered office- together with its records - is located at 2200 HSBC Building 885 West Georgia Street, British Columbia, V6C 3E8.

 

Following the completion of the transaction with A2Z Advanced Solutions Ltd (“A2ZAS”), on December 12, 2019, as detailed in the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company changed its name to A2Z Technologies Canada Corp and commenced trading on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol “AZ”. On July 27, 2020, the Company changed its name to A2Z Smart Technologies Corp.

 

The Company’s principal activities are the provision of services in the field of advanced engineering capabilities to the military/security markets as well as development of products for the civilian population. During 2020, the Company commenced the development of two products for the automotive markets. The first product is a capsule that can be placed in a fuel tank to prevent gas tank explosions. The second product under development is a vehicle cover device that will protect automobiles from the elements while the vehicle is parked. The Company also provides maintenance services to both external and in-house complex electronic systems and products.

 

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on November 30, 2020.

 

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION

 

Statement of Compliance

 

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements, including comparatives, have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) 34, “Interim Financial Reporting” using accounting policies consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and Interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”).

 

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2019. Certain disclosures that are required to be included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS are not included in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for certain financial assets measured at fair value. All dollar amounts presented are in United States dollars unless otherwise specified.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION (CONTINUED)

 

Basis of Consolidation

 

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of A2ZTC and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commenced until the date control ceases. Control exists when the Company has the power directly or indirectly, to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. The Company applies the acquisition method to account for business combinations in accordance with IFRS 3.

 

All inter-company balances, and transactions, have been eliminated upon consolidation.

 

Significant Accounting Judgments and Estimates

 

The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual outcomes could differ from these estimates. . The impacts of such estimates are pervasive throughout the consolidated financial statements and may require accounting adjustments based on future occurrences. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised and also in future periods when the revision affects both current and future periods.

 

The critical judgments and significant estimates in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the condensed consolidated interim financial statements are:

 

  The useful life of property and equipment

 

    Property and equipment are amortized or depreciated over their useful lives. Useful lives are based on management’s estimates of the period that the assets will generate revenue, which are periodically reviewed for continued appropriateness. Changes to estimates can result in significant variations in the amounts charged to the consolidated statement of comprehensive income in specific periods.

 

  Taxes on income

 

    The Company recognized tax- related assets and liabilities based on the Company’s current understanding of tax laws as applied to the company’s circumstances. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the current and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.

 

Standards issued but not yet effective

 

Certain pronouncements were issued by the TASB or the IFRIC that are mandatory for future accounting periods. Many are not applicable to or do not have a significant impact on the Company and have been excluded from the list below. The following have not yet been adopted and are being evaluated to determine their impact on A2ZTC.

 

IFRS I 7 - Insurance Contracts (“JFRS I 7”)

 

IFRS 17 was issued by the IASB in May 2017, which replaces IFRS 4 Insurance Contracts. IFRS 17 requires entities to measure insurance contract liabilities at their current fulfillment values using one of three measurement models, depending on the nature of the contract. IFRS 17 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2021. IFRS 17 will affect how the Company’s accounts for its insurance contracts and how it reports its financial performance in its consolidated statements of operations. The Company has determined there will not be a significant impact to the consolidated financial statements as a result of the adoption of this standard.

3. FINANCIAL ASSET:

 

On December 30, 2019, the Company signed an agreement with the founder and CEO of A2ZAS, Mr. Joseph Bentsur (the “Founder”), pursuant to which the Founder granted A2ZAS an option to purchase 19% of the shares of Cust2Mate Ltd (“Cust2Mate”), a company incorporated in Israel, and 60% owned by the Founder (the “Cus2Mate Option”) for $66. During 2020, the Founder increased his ownership to 77.51%. Cust2Mate is a technological company focused on providing retail automation solutions, in particular for large grocery stores and supermarkets. The company’s primary product is the Cust2Mate system which incorporates a “smart cart” enabling shoppers to checkout automatically without having to unload and reload their purchases. There are two complementary products. One to prevent theft when using traditional shopping carts and another to increase efficiency when picking products to meet on line orders.

 

In accordance with the Company’s accounting policies, the Company obtained a third-party valuation of the Cus2Mate Option and has determined the fair value to be $5,624. The valuation was based on the income approach, using the Discounted Cash Flow (“DCF”) method, which reflects the trade-off between risk and expected return that is critical to the investment process. DCF analysis estimates value on the basis of future return flows over an investment horizon. The Cus2Mate Option was initially recorded at fair value and will be re-valued at each reporting date with changes in fair value being charged to the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

 

The valuation is based on free cash flow from operations as the appropriate measure of economic income. The weighted average cost of capital is the appropriate discount rate to apply to net cash from operations. The value calculated from this analysis is the economic value of each company’s business activities.

 

Free cash flow is defined as after-tax earnings, plus depreciation less capital expenditures and expected changes in working capital. Cust2Mate is in the development stage of the life cycle and has developed and tested its main product, which is now ready to be marketed. Therefore, the valuation is based on a capitalization rate of 50%. As the Cus2Mate Option was received from a related party, the fair value was credited to “Capital fund for transaction with controlling shareholder” in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.

 

See Note 13(i) regarding the acquisition of control of Cust2Mate subsequent to the balance sheet date.

 

4. INTANGIBLE ASSET- PATENT, NET

 

On February 7, 2019, the Company purchased an 80% interest in AAI Advanced Automotive Innovations Inc. (“AAI”). AAI owns a patented invention (the “Patent”) in the form of a system that enables a customer to insert a “capsule” into the fuel tank that suppresses combustibility of any remaining gasoline or gasoline fumes inside the gasoline tank in the event of a collision or exposure to heat and/or flames, and thus eliminate the possibility of a fire erupting as a result of a collision or exposure to heat and/or flames. As the only activity of AAI is its ownership of the Patent (an economic resource that may create future outputs) and no other processes or outputs, the acquisition was accounted for as an asset acquisition.

 

The intangible asset is being amortized over 20 years.

5. WARRANT LIABILITY

 

On January 31, 2020, the Company issued 833,336 warrants in conjunction with a private placement (Note 7(b) (ii)). The warrants have an expiry period of three years from date of issuance and an exercise price of CAD$0.65 per common share.

 

Since the warrants have an exercise price denominated in a different currency (Canadian Dollars) than the functional currency of the Company (New Israeli Shekels), these warrants are recorded at their fair value as a derivative liability.

 

At the date of issuance, the warrants were valued at $214 and were revalued as at September 30, 2020 at $207. A gain in the revaluation of the warrant liability of $7 was realised and recorded in the condensed consolidated interim statement of loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, and a loss of $178 for the three months ended September 30, 2020 (2019 - nil and nil). The Black-Scholes option pricing model was used to measure the derivative warrant liability with the following assumptions:

 

  

January 31,

Share Price   CAD$0.77    CAD$0.82

12. FINANCIAL AND CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT

 

The Company is exposed in varying degrees to a variety of financial instrument related risks:

 

Fair value

 

The carrying value of due to/from related parties and accounts payable approximated their fair value because of the relatively short-term nature of these instruments. Cash, which is classified as held for trading and carried at fair value, has been determined using Level I inputs.

 

Foreign exchange risk

 

The Company’s functional currency is the New Israeli Shekel (“NIS”) and its reporting currency is the United States dollar. As a result, the Company is exposed to foreign currency risk arising from fluctuations in exchange rates.

 

Credit risk

 

The Company’s cash is largely held in large Israeli financial institutions. The Company does not have any asset-backed commercial paper. The Company has not experienced any significant credit losses and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk.

 

Interest rate risk

 

Interest rate risk is the risk the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. Financial assets and liabilities with variable interest rates expose the Company to cash flow interest rate risk. The Company does not hold any financial liabilities with variable interest rates. The Company does maintain bank accounts which earn interest at variable rates but it does not believe it is currently subject to any significant interest rate risk.

 

Liquidity risk

 

The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on management’s ability to raise required funding through future equity issuances and through short-term borrowing. The Company manages its liquidity risk by forecasting cash flows from operations and anticipating any investing and financing activities. Management and the Board of Directors are actively involved in the review, planning and approval of significant expenditures and commitments.

 

Capital management

 

The Company defines its capital as shareholders’ equity. The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it, based on the funds available to the Company, in order to support its operations. The Board of Directors do 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. As such, the Company has historically relied on the equity markets to fund its activities. In addition, the Company is dependent upon external financings to fund activities. In order to carry out its business plan, the Company may need to raise additional funds. Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable.

12. FINANCIAL AND CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED)

 

COVJD 19

 

Since January 2020, the Coronavirus outbreak has dramatically expanded into a worldwide pandemic creating macro-economic uncertainty and disruption in business and financial markets. Many countries around the world, including Israel, have been taking measures designated to limit the continued spread of the Coronavirus, including the closure of workplaces, restricting travel, prohibiting assembling, closing international borders and quarantining populated areas. Such measures present concerns that may dramatically affect the Company’s ability to conduct its business effectively, including, but not limited to, adverse effect relating to employees’ welfare, slowdown and stoppage of manufacturing, commerce, shipping, delivery, work, travel and other activities which are essential and critical for maintaining on-going business activities.

 

The nature of the Company’s work in Israel, is such that it is defined as an essential service industry, and therefore, it is able to continue all of its operations in Israel with little disruption. The Company’s flagship research project: Fuel Tank Intelligent Containment System (FTICS) capsule progressed as planned during this time and through to the date of this report. The Company anticipates a reduction in the Company’s revenues during the 2020 due to delays in receiving orders.

 

Given the uncertainty around the extent and timing of the future spread or mitigation of COVID-19 and around the imposition or relaxation of protective measures, the Company cannot reasonably estimate the impact to its future results of operations, cash flows or financial condition; infections may become more widespread and the limitation on the ability to work, travel and timely sell and distribute products, as well as any closures or supply disruptions, may be extended for longer periods of time and to other lo cations, all of which would have a negative impact on the Company’s business, financial condition and operating results. In addition, the unknown scale and duration of these developments have macro and micro negative effects on the financial markets and global economy which could result in an economic downturn that could affect demand for the Company’s products and have a material adverse effect on its operations and financial results, earnings, cash flow and financial condition.
