Ladies
and Gentlemen:

 

This
letter (this “Agreement”) constitutes the agreement between Datasea, Inc. (the “Company”) and FT
Global Capital, Inc. (“FT Global”) pursuant to which FT Global shall serve as the placement agent (the “Placement
Agent”) (the “Services”), for the Company, on a reasonable “best efforts” basis, in connection
with the proposed offer and placement (the “Offering”) by the Company of its Securities (as defined Section 3 of this
Agreement). The Company expressly acknowledges and agrees that FT Global’s obligations hereunder are on a reasonable “best
efforts” basis only and that the execution of this Agreement does not constitute a commitment by FT Global to purchase the Securities
and does not ensure the successful placement of the Securities or any portion thereof or the success of FT Global placing the Securities.

 

		1.	Appointment
                                            of FT Global as Exclusive Placement Agent.

 

On
the basis of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Company herein contained, and subject to all the terms
and conditions of this Agreement, the Company hereby appoints the Placement Agent as its exclusive placement agent in connection with
a distribution of (i) its Shares (as defined below) and (ii) its Warrants (as defined below), and FT Global agrees to act as the Company’s
exclusive Placement Agent. Pursuant to this appointment, the Placement Agent will solicit offers for the purchase of or attempt to place
all or part of the Securities of the Company in the proposed Offering. The Shares shall be offered and sold under the Company’s
registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-239183) (the “Registration Statement”), and the Warrants shall be
offered and sold in a concurrent private placement in reliance upon exemption from the registration requirements of Section 5 of the
Securities Act contained in Section 4(a)(2) thereof and/or Regulation D thereunder Until the final closing or earlier upon termination
of this Agreement pursuant to Section 5 hereof, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Placement Agent, solicit
or accept offers to purchase the Securities other than through the Placement Agent. The Company acknowledges that the Placement Agent
will act as an agent of the Company and use its reasonable “best efforts” to solicit offers to purchase the Securities from
the Company on the terms, and subject to the conditions, set forth in the Prospectus (as defined below). The Placement Agent shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to assist the Company in obtaining performance by each Purchaser whose offer to purchase Securities has
been solicited by the Placement Agent, but the Placement Agent shall not, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, be obligated
to disclose the identity of any potential purchaser or have any liability to the Company in the event any such purchase is not consummated
for any reason. Under no circumstances will the Placement Agent be obligated to underwrite or purchase any Securities for its own account
and, in soliciting purchases of the Securities, the Placement Agent shall act solely as an agent of the Company. The Services provided
pursuant to this Agreement shall be on an “agency” basis and not on a “principal” basis.

 

The
Placement Agent will solicit offers for the purchase of the Securities in the Offering at such times and in such amounts as the Placement
Agent deems advisable. The Company shall have the sole right to accept offers to purchase Securities and may reject any such offer, in
whole or in part. The Company and Placement Agent shall negotiate the timing and terms of the Offering and acknowledge that the Offering
and the provision of Placement Agent services related to the Offering are subject to market conditions and the receipt of all required
related clearances and approvals.

Stock equivalents (or a combination of units thereof) involving a Variable Rate Transaction. For purposes of this Agreement, “Variable
Rate Transaction” shall mean a transaction in which the Company (i) issues or sells any debt or equity securities that are
convertible into, exchangeable or exercisable for, or include the right to receive additional Common Stock either (A) at a conversion
price, exercise price or exchange rate or other price that is based upon and/or varies with the trading prices of or quotations for the
Common Stock at any time after the initial issuance of such debt or equity securities, or (B) with a conversion, exercise or exchange
price that is subject to being reset at some future date after the initial issuance of such debt or equity security or upon the occurrence
of specified or contingent events directly or indirectly related to the business of the Company or the market for the Common Stock or
(ii) enters into, or effects a transaction under, any agreement, including, but not limited to, an equity line of credit, whereby the
Company may issue securities at a future determined price. The Placement Agent shall be entitled to obtain injunctive relief against

		10.	Indemnification
                                            and Contribution; Procedures.

 

A.
Indemnification of the Placement Agent. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Placement Agent, its affiliates
and each person controlling such Placement Agent (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act), and the directors, officers,
agents and employees of the Placement Agent, its affiliates and each such controlling person (the Placement Agent, and each such entity
or person hereafter is referred to as an “Indemnified Person”) from and against any losses, claims, damages, judgments,
assessments, costs and other liabilities (collectively, the “Liabilities”), and shall reimburse each Indemnified Person
for all fees and expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the Indemnified Persons, except as otherwise expressly
provided in this Agreement) (collectively, the “Expenses”) incurred by an Indemnified Person in investigating, preparing,
pursuing or defending any actions, whether or not any Indemnified Person is a party thereto, arising out of or based upon any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in (i) the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package, the Preliminary
Prospectus, the Prospectus or in any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus (as from time to time each may be amended and supplemented); (ii)
any materials or information provided to investors by, or with the approval of, the Company in connection with the marketing of the Offering,
including any “road show” or investor presentations made to investors by the Company (whether in person or electronically);
or (iii) any application or other document or written communication (in this Section 9, collectively called “application”)
executed by the Company or based upon written information furnished by the Company in any jurisdiction in order to qualify the Securities
under the securities laws thereof or filed with the Commission, any state securities commission or agency, any national securities exchange;
or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein,
in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, unless such statement or omission was made in reliance
upon, and in conformity with, the Placement Agent’s information. The Company also agrees to reimburse each Indemnified Person for
all Expenses as they are incurred in connection with such Indemnified Person’s enforcement of his or its rights under this Agreement.
Each Indemnified Person is an intended third party beneficiary with the same rights to enforce the indemnification that each Indemnified
Person would have if he was a party to this Agreement. The Company agrees to reimburse such expenses incurred by an Indemnified Person
pursuant to which indemnity may be sought hereunder within thirty (30) days after receipt by the Company of a statement requesting such
reimbursement from time to time, whether prior to or after final disposition of any proceeding.

 

B.
Procedure. Upon receipt by an Indemnified Person of actual notice of an action against such Indemnified Person with respect to
which indemnity may reasonably be expected to be sought under this Agreement, such Indemnified Person shall promptly notify the Company
in writing; provided that failure by any Indemnified Person so to notify the Company shall not relieve the Company from any obligation
or liability which the Company may have on account of this Section 9 or otherwise to such Indemnified Person, except to the extent (and
only to the extent) that its ability to assume the defense is actually impaired by such failure or delay. The Company shall, if requested
by the Placement Agent, assume the defense of any such action (including the employment of counsel and reasonably satisfactory to the
Placement Agent). Any Indemnified Person shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense
thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Person unless: (i) the Company has failed
promptly to assume the defense and employ counsel for the benefit of the Placement Agent and the other Indemnified Persons or (ii) such
Indemnified Person shall have been advised that in the opinion of counsel that there is an actual or potential conflict of interest that
prevents (or makes it imprudent for) the counsel engaged by the Company for the purpose of representing the Indemnified Person, to represent
both such Indemnified Person and any other person represented or proposed to be represented by such counsel, it being understood, however,
that the Company shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel (together with local counsel), representing the
Placement Agent and all Indemnified persons who are parties to such action. The Company shall not be liable for any settlement of any
action effected without its written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld). In addition, the Company shall not, without the
prior written consent of the Placement Agent, settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in or otherwise seek to terminate
any pending or threatened action in respect of which advancement, reimbursement, indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder
(whether or not such Indemnified Person is a party thereto) unless such settlement, compromise, consent or termination (i) includes an
unconditional release of each Indemnified Person, acceptable to such Indemnified Party, from all Liabilities arising out of such action
for which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault,
culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person. The advancement, reimbursement, indemnification and contribution
obligations of the Company required hereby shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation
or defense, as every Liability and Expense is incurred and is due and payable, and in such amounts as fully satisfy each and every Liability
and Expense as it is incurred (and in no event later than 30 days following the date of any invoice therefor).

 

    -10-

     

    

 

C.
Indemnification of the Company. The Placement Agent agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, its officers
who signed the Registration Statement and persons who control the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section
20 of the Exchange Act against any and all Liabilities, but only with respect to untrue statements or omissions, or alleged untrue statements
or omissions made in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Disclosure Package or Prospectus or any amendment or
supplement thereto, in reliance upon, and in strict conformity with, the Placement Agent’s Information. In case any action shall
be brought against the Company or any other person so indemnified based on any Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration Statement, the
Disclosure Package or Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, and in respect of which indemnity may be sought against the
Placement Agent, the Placement Agent shall have the rights and duties given to the Company, and the Company and each other person so
indemnified shall have the rights and duties given to the Placement Agent by the provisions of Section 9.B. The Company agrees promptly
to notify the Placement Agent of the commencement of any litigation or proceedings against the Company or any of its officers, directors
or any person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange
Act, in connection with the issuance and sale of the Securities or in connection with the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package,
the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, provided, that failure by the Company so to notify the Placement Agent shall not
relieve the Placement Agent from any obligation or liability which the Placement Agent may have on account of this Section 9.C. or otherwise
to the Company, except to the extent the Placement Agent is materially prejudiced as a proximate result of such failure..

 

D.
Contribution. In the event that a court of competent jurisdiction makes a finding that indemnity is unavailable to any indemnified
person, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the Liabilities and Expenses paid or payable by such indemnified person in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect (i) the relative benefits to the Company, on the one hand, and to the Placement Agent and any
other Indemnified Person, on the other hand, of the matters contemplated by this Agreement or (ii) if the allocation provided by the
immediately preceding clause is not permitted by applicable law, not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company,
on the one hand, and the Placement Agent and any other Indemnified Person, on the other hand, in connection with the matters as to which
such Liabilities or Expenses relate, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided that in no event shall the Company
contribute less than the amount necessary to ensure that all Indemnified Persons, in the aggregate, are not liable for any Liabilities
and Expenses in excess of the amount of commissions actually received by the Placement Agent pursuant to this Agreement. The relative
fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the
omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company on the one hand or the Placement
Agent on the other and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such
statement or omission. The Company and the Placement Agent agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to
this subsection (D) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable
considerations referred to above in this subsection (D). For purposes of this paragraph, the relative benefits to the Company, on the
one hand, and to the Placement Agent on the other hand, of the matters contemplated by this Agreement shall be deemed to be in the same
proportion as: (a) the total value received by the Company in the Offering, whether or not such Offering is consummated, bears to (b)
the commissions paid to the Placement Agent under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the above, no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation
within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act shall be entitled to contribution from a party who was not guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation.

 

E.
Limitation. The Company also agrees that no Indemnified Person shall have any liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract
or tort or otherwise) to the Company for or in connection with advice or services rendered or to be rendered by any Indemnified Person
pursuant to this Agreement, the transactions contemplated thereby or any Indemnified Person’s actions or inactions in connection
with any such advice, services or transactions, except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction has made a finding that Liabilities
(and related Expenses) of the Company have resulted primarily from such Indemnified Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct
in connection with any such advice, actions, inactions or services.

 

    -11-

     

    

 

F.
Survival. The advancement, reimbursement, indemnity and contribution obligations set forth in this Section 9 shall remain in full
force and effect regardless of any termination of, or the completion of any Indemnified Person’s services under or in connection
with, this Agreement. Each Indemnified Person is an intended third-party beneficiary of this Section 9, and has the right to enforce
the provisions of Section 9 as if he/she/it was a party to this Agreement.

 

		11.	Limitation
                                            of FT Global’s Liability to the Company.

 

FT
Global and the Company further agree that neither FT Global nor any of its affiliates or any of their respective officers, directors,
controlling persons (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act), employees or agents shall
have any liability to the Company, its security holders or creditors, or any person asserting claims on behalf of or in the right of
the Company (whether direct or indirect, in contract or tort, for an act of negligence or otherwise) for any losses, fees, damages, liabilities,
costs, expenses or equitable relief arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Services rendered hereunder, except for losses,
fees, damages, liabilities, costs or expenses that arise out of or are based on any action of or failure to act by FT Global and that
are finally judicially determined to have resulted solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of FT Global.

 

		12.	Limitation
                                            of Engagement to the Company.

Company acknowledges that FT Global has been retained only by the Company, that FT Global is providing services hereunder as an independent
contractor (and not in any fiduciary or agency capacity) and that the Company’s engagement of FT Global is not deemed to be on

hereto as against FT Global or any of its affiliates, or any of its or their respective officers, directors, controlling persons (within
the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act), employees or agents. Unless otherwise expressly agreed
in writing by FT Global, no one other than the Company is authorized to rely upon any statement or conduct of FT Global in connection
with this Agreement. The Company acknowledges that any recommendation or advice, written or oral, given by FT Global to the Company in
connection with FT Global’s engagement is intended solely for the benefit and use of the Company’s management and directors
in considering a possible Offering, and any such recommendation or advice is not on behalf of, and shall not confer any rights or remedies
upon, any other person or be used or relied upon for any other purpose. FT Global shall not have the authority to make any commitment
binding on the Company. The Company, in its sole discretion, shall have the right to reject any investor introduced to it by FT Global.
If any purchase agreement and/or related transaction documents are entered into between the Company and the investors in the Offering,
FT Global will be entitled to rely on the representations, warranties, agreements and covenants of the Company contained in any such
purchase agreement and related transaction documents as if such representations, warranties, agreements and covenants were made directly
to FT Global by the Company.

 

		13.	Amendments
                                            and Waivers.

 

No
supplement, modification or waiver of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by the party to be bound thereby. The
failure of a party to exercise any right or remedy shall not be deemed or constitute a waiver of such right or remedy in the future.
No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provision hereof (regardless
of whether similar), nor shall any such waiver be deemed or constitute a continuing waiver unless otherwise expressly provided.

 

		14.	Confidentiality.

 

In
the event of the consummation or public announcement of any Offering, FT Global shall have the right to disclose its participation in
such Offering, including, without limitation, the placement at its cost of “tombstone” advertisements in financial and other
newspapers and journals. FT Global agrees not to use any confidential information concerning the Company provided to FT Global by the
Company for any purposes other than those contemplated under this Agreement.

any financial information, forecasts or projections considered by FT Global in connection with the provision of its services.

 

		19.	Absence
                                            of Fiduciary Relationship.

Company acknowledges and agrees that: (a) the Placement Agent has been retained solely to act as Placement Agent in connection with the
sale of the Securities and that no fiduciary, advisory or agency relationship between the Company and the Placement Agent has been created

    Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

    To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of GreenPower Motor Company Inc.

    Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

    We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of GreenPower Motor Company Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of March 31, 2021 and 2020, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in equity (deficit) and cash flows for the years ended March 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "consolidated financial statements"). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as at March 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended March 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019 in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

    Basis for Opinion

    These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

    We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

    Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

    1. Nature and Continuance of Operations

    GreenPower Motor Company Inc. ("GreenPower" or the "Company") was incorporated in the Province of British Columbia on September 18, 2007. The Company is in the business of manufacturing and distributing all-electric transit, school and charter buses.

    The primary office is located at Suite 240-209 Carrall St., Vancouver, Canada.

    The consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on June 28, 2021.

    These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards on the basis that the Company is a going concern, meaning that the Company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize assets and discharge liabilities in the normal course of operations.

    During the second quarter of fiscal 2021 the Company completed an initial public offering on the Nasdaq stock exchange and concurrent private placement for gross proceeds of US$37.7 million less underwriting discounts and offering costs. As at March 31, 2021, the Company had a cash and restricted cash balance of $15,207,948, working capital of $30,808,375, accumulated deficit of ($31,625,388), and shareholder's equity of $36,152,448.

    As at March 31, 2021, the Company had approximately $31 million working capital and therefore has sufficient resources to sustain operations for the next 12 months, although the Company will need additional funding to achieve its long-term business objectives. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent on future cash flows from operations including the successful sale and manufacture of electric buses to achieve a profitable level of operations and obtaining necessary financing to fund ongoing operations. To this end, the Company has now delivered and received payment for all-electric buses to customers, has a backlog of orders for delivery, and has a line of credit with a credit limit of up to $8 million to meet funding requirements.

    The Company faces risks from the COVID-19 global pandemic which has had, and may continue to have, a material adverse impact on our business and financial condition. While we have recently seen a gradual re-opening of the economy, and a resumption of travel and sales activity, this activity is not at the level it was prior to the pandemic and the future impact of the COVID-19 global pandemic is inherently uncertain, and may negatively impact the financial ability of our customers to purchase vehicles from us, of our suppliers' ability to deliver products used in the manufacture of our all-electric vehicles, in our employees' ability to manufacture our vehicles and to carry out their other duties in order to sustain our business, and in our ability to collect certain receivables owing to us, among other factors. These factors may continue to have a negative impact on our financial results, operations, outlook, goals, growth prospects, cash flows, liquidity and share price, and the potential timing, severity, and ultimate duration of any potential negative impacts is uncertain.

    2. Significant Accounting Policies

    (a) Basis of presentation

    Statement of Compliance with IFRS

    These annual consolidated financial statements for the years ended March 31, 2021, March 31, 2020, and March 31, 2019 were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"), and the interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee ("IFRIC"). These consolidated financial statements are presented on a historical cost basis, except for financial instruments classified as fair value through profit or loss ("FVTPL") or as fair value through other comprehensive income ("FVOCI"), in U.S. dollars. In addition, these consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in compliance with IFRS requires management to make certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgment in applying the Company's accounting policies.

    On August 28, 2020 the Company completed a consolidation of its common shares on the basis of seven pre-consolidation shares for one post-consolidation common share. On the same date, the Company's post-consolidation common shares began trading on the Nasdaq stock exchange and ceased trading on the OTCQB exchange in the US, and the post-consolidation shares continued trading on the TSX Venture exchange in Canada. All references to share and per share amounts in these consolidated financial statements have been retroactively restated to give effect to this share consolidation unless otherwise stated.

    All intercompany balances, transactions, revenues and expenses are eliminated upon consolidation. Certain information and note disclosures which are considered material to the understanding of the Company's consolidated financial statements are provided below.

    Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date of acquisition, being the date on which the Company obtains control, and continue to be consolidated until the date when such 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 financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company, using consistent accounting policies.

    2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

    (c) Financial instruments Classification

    IFRS 9 requires a company to classify its financial instruments based on the way they are measured, into one of three categories: Amortized Cost, FVTPL, and FVOCI. In determining the appropriate category for financial assets, a company must consider whether it intends to hold the financial assets and collect the contractual cash flows or to collect the cash flows and sell financial assets (the "business model test") and whether the contractual cash flows of an asset are solely payments of principal and interest (the "SPPI test").

    i. Amortized Cost

    All of the Company's financial instruments, initially recognized at fair value, are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Transaction costs are included in the initial fair value measurement of the financial instruments, and the Company incorporates the expected credit loss in financial assets on a forward-looking basis. The Company will, at a minimum, recognize 12 month expected losses in profit or loss, and if a significant increase in credit risk occurs after initial recognition, lifetime expected losses will be recognized.

    The Company has issued convertible debentures that can be converted into shares of the Company at the option of the holder, and the number of shares to be issued does not vary with changes in their fair value. The liability component of a compound financial instrument is recognized initially at the fair value of a similar liability that does not have an equity conversion option. The equity component is recognized initially as the difference between the fair value of the compound financial instrument as a whole and the fair value of the liability component. Any directly attributable transaction costs are allocated to the liability and equity components in proportion to their initial carrying amounts.

    Subsequent to the initial recognition, the liability component of a compound financial instrument is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The equity component of a compound financial instrument is not re-measured subsequent to initial recognition. Interest, dividends, losses and gains relating to the financial liability are recognized in profit or loss. When the conversion option is exercised, the consideration received is recorded as share capital and the equity component of the compound financial instrument is transferred to share capital.

    When the Company extinguishes convertible debentures before maturity through early redemption or repurchase where the conversion option is unchanged, the Company allocates the consideration paid and any transaction costs for the repurchase or redemption to the liability and equity components of the instrument at the date of settlement. The method used in allocating the consideration paid and transaction costs to the separate components is consistent with the method used in the original allocation to the separate components of the proceeds received by the entity when the convertible instrument was issued. The amount of gain or loss relating to the early redemption or repurchase of the liability component is recognized in profit or loss. The amount of consideration relating to the equity component is recognized in equity.

    ii. FVTPL

    Financial liabilities classified as FVTPL are measured at fair value with unrealized gains and losses recognized through the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company did not have any liabilities classified as FVTPL as at March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020.

    2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

    (c) Financial instruments (continued)

    Derivative financial assets and liabilities are initially recognized at their fair value on the date the derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at their fair value at each reporting period with changes in the fair value recognized in profit and loss. Derivative financial assets and liabilities include warrants purchased or issued by the Company denominated in a currency other than the Company's functional currency. As at March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020, the Company did not have any derivative financial assets or liabilities.

    iii. FVOCI

    Certain debt instrument assets must be classified as FVOCI unless the option to FVTPL is taken and the FVOCI classification is an election for equity assets. The Company did not have any debt or equity assets classified as FVOCI as at March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020.

    For debt instruments measured at FVOCI, interest income (calculated using the effective interest rate method), foreign currency gains or losses and impairment gains or losses are recognized directly in profit or loss. The difference between cumulative fair value gains or losses and the cumulative amounts recognized in profit or loss is recognized in OCI until derecognition, when the amounts in OCI are reclassified to profit or loss. For equity instruments designated as FVOCI only dividend income is recognized in profit or loss with all other gains and losses recognized in OCI and there is no reclassification on derecognition.

    Measurement

    All of the Company's financial instruments, initially recognized at fair value, are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Transaction costs are included in the initial fair value measurement of the financial instruments.

    Impairment

    The Company assesses on a forward-looking basis the expected credit loss associated with financial assets measured at amortized cost. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk. For trade receivables, the Company applies the simplified approach permitted by IFRS 9, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognized from initial recognition of the receivables, which is recorded as an allowance for credit losses. Losses are recognized in profit or loss and reflected in an allowance account against receivables. When a subsequent event causes the amount of impairment loss to decrease, the decrease in impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss. During the year ended March 31, 2021, the company recognized an allowance for credit losses of $35,639 (2020 -

    $46,447) (Note 4).

    For financial assets that are measured at amortized cost, the Company will, at a minimum, recognize 12 month expected losses in profit or loss, calculated as the difference between its carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the asset's original effective interest rate. During the year ended March 31, 2021 the Company recognized an allowance for credit losses of $344,737 (2020 - $nil) on its promissory note receivable.

    Lifetime expected losses will be recognized on assets for which there is a significant increase in credit risk after initial recognition. During the year ended March 31, 2021 the company recognized an impairment of $nil (2020 - $223,919) on its promissory note receivable (Note 7).

    2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

    (d) Cash and cash equivalents

    Cash and cash equivalents usually consist of highly liquid investments which are readily convertible into cash with maturity of three months or less and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. As at March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020 the Company had no cash equivalents.

    (e) Revenue recognition

    The Company recognizes revenue from contracts with customers when a customer obtains control of the goods or services, and the Company satisfies its performance obligation to customers in exchange for consideration the Company expects to receive, net of discounts and taxes. Revenue is allocated to each performance obligation.

    Most of the Company's contracts have a single performance obligation as the promise to transfer the individual goods. Revenues from the sale of products are recognized when the goods are shipped or accepted by the customer, depending on the delivery conditions, and title and risk have passed to the customer. Revenues from services such as supporting and training relating to the sale of products are recognized as the services are performed. The Company also has not historically, but may in the future, earn product repair and maintenance revenues, which may relate to warranty contracts, which would be recognized over the periods and according to the terms of the warranty or other contract.

    The Company enters into a few transactions that represent multiple-element arrangements, which may include any combination of products, support and training services, and extended warranty. The allocation of consideration to the multiple-element is dependent on the explicit stand-alone selling price stipulated in the contract term.

    The Company would recognize an asset for the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer if it expects the costs to be recoverable and has determined that such costs meet the requirements to be capitalized. Capitalized contract acquisition costs are amortized consistent with the pattern of transfer to the customer for the goods and services to which the asset relates. The Company does not capitalize incremental costs of obtaining contracts if the amortization period is one year or less.

    (f) Impairment of long-lived assets

    At the end of each reporting period, the Company's assets are reviewed to determine whether there is any indication that those assets may be impaired. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment, if any. The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. Fair value is determined as the amount that would be obtained from the sale of the asset in an arm's length transaction between knowledgeable and willing parties. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount and the impairment loss is recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the period. For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs.

    Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but to an amount that does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset (or cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized immediately in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

    GreenPower Motor Company Inc. (parent) changed its functional currency from the Canadian dollar to the US dollar effective April 1, 2019 due to the significant US dollar denominated liabilities of the entity, the significant amount of financing raised that is denominated in US dollars, the portion of the Company's expenses denominated in US dollars, and the expectation that all of these factors are expected to increase over time. The change in functional currency of this entity did not have a material impact on the financial results of the Company for the year ended March 31, 2020. San Joaquin Valley Equipment Leasing, Inc. changed its functional currency from the Canadian dollar to the US dollar during the year ended March 31, 2019. The change in functional currency of this entity did not have a material impact on the financial results of the Company for the year ended March 31, 2019.

    Translation to functional currency

    Foreign currency transactions are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates in effect at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rate in effect at the measurement date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency using the historical exchange rate or the exchange rate in effect at the measurement date for items recognized at FVTPL. Gains and losses arising from foreign exchange are included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

    Translation to presentation currency

    The results and financial position of those entities with a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:

    - assets and liabilities are translated at the closing rate at the date of the Statements of Financial Position;

    - income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates; and

    - all resulting exchange differences are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income/loss.

    2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

    (g) Foreign currency translation (continued)

    Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign entity and translated at the closing rate. Exchange differences arising on translation of foreign operations are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income / loss. On disposal of a foreign operation (that is, a disposal of the Company's entire interest in a foreign operation, or a disposal involving loss of control over a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation) all exchange differences accumulated in equity in respect of that operation attributable to the equity holders of the Company are reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income/loss to net income/loss for the period.

    (h) Inventory

    Inventory is recorded at the lower of cost and net realizable value with cost determined on a specific item basis. The Company's inventory consists of electric buses in process, production supplies, and finished goods. In determining net realizable value for new buses, the Company primarily considers the age of the vehicles along with the timing of annual and model changeovers. For used buses, the Company considers recent market data and trends such as loss histories along with the current age of the inventory.

    (i) Property, plant, and equipment

    Property, plant and equipment ("PPE") are carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. The cost of an item of PPE consists of the purchase price, any costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for its intended use and an initial estimate of the costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of PPE, less their estimated residual value, using the following rates/estimated lives and methods:

    
        	
                    Leasehold improvements

    An item of PPE is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on disposal of the asset, determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset, is recognized in profit or loss in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Where an item of PPE comprises major components with different useful lives, the components are accounted for as separate items of PPE. Expenditures incurred to replace a component of an item of PPE is accounted for separately, including major inspection and overhaul expenditures are capitalized.

    (j) Loss per share

    The Company presents basic and diluted loss per share data for its common shares, calculated by dividing the loss attributable to common shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share does not adjust the loss attributable to common shareholders or the weighted average number of common shares outstanding when the effect is anti- dilutive.

    2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

    (k) Share capital

    Common shares are classified as equity. Finders fees and other related share issue costs, such as legal, regulatory, and printing, on the issue of the Company's shares are charged directly to share capital, net of any tax effects. During the years ended March 31, 2021, March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019 the Company recorded $2,948,718, $463,411, and $nil respectively in share issuance costs on its Consolidated Statements of Changes in Equity in regards to the issuance of shares (Note 11).

    (l) Income taxes

    Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current and deferred tax are recognized in net income/loss except to the extent that it relates to a business combination or items recognized directly in equity or in other comprehensive loss/income.

    Current income taxes are recognized for the estimated income taxes payable or receivable on taxable income or loss for the current period and any adjustment to income taxes payable in respect to previous years. Current income taxes are determined using tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end date.

    Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized where the carrying amount of an asset or liability differs from its tax base, except for taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill and temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction which is not a business combination and at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss.

    Recognition of deferred tax assets for unused tax losses, tax credits, and deductible temporary differences is restricted to those instances where it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the deferred tax asset can be utilized. At the end of each reporting period the Company reassesses deferred tax assets. The Company will recognize a previously unrecognized deferred tax asset to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

    (m) Critical accounting estimates and judgments

    The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual outcomes could differ from these estimates. These consolidated financial statements include estimates which, by their nature, are uncertain. The impacts of such estimates are pervasive throughout the consolidated financial statements and may require accounting adjustments based on future occurrences. Revisions to critical accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. These estimates are based on historical experience, current and future economic conditions and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

    Critical accounting estimates

    Significant assumptions about the future and other sources of estimation uncertainty that management has made at the end of the reporting period, that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities, in the event that actual results differ from assumptions made, relate to, but are not limited to, the inputs used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model to measure share-based compensation and warrants, determination of the useful life of equipment, the carrying value of accounts receivable and promissory note receivable and the associated allowance for credit losses, net realizable value of inventory, provision for warranty expense, and the $nil provision for income taxes.

    (m) Critical accounting estimates and judgments (continued)

    Effective January 1, 2019, management changed its estimated useful life for electric buses (including some categorized under Leased Assets in note 9) from 7 years to 12 years. For the year ended March 31, 2019 this change reduced the Company's depreciation expense by $19,537. The carrying value of electric buses was $622,833 as at March 31, 2019 using an estimated useful life of 12 years, and the carrying value of electric buses would have been $603,296 with an estimated life of 7 years.

    Critical accounting judgments

    i. The determination of the discount rate to use to discount the promissory note receivable, finance lease receivables and lease liabilities;

    ii. The determination of the functional currency of each entity within the consolidated Company;

    iii. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern;

    iv. The classification of leases as either financial leases or operating leases;

    v. The determination that there are no material matters requiring disclosures and/or recognition on the consolidated financial statements as either a provision, a contingent liability, or a contingent asset; and

    vi. The identification of performance obligations in revenue contracts and the determination of when they are satisfied.

    (n) Share-based payment transactions

    The Company grants share-based awards to certain officers, employees, directors and other eligible persons. The fair value of the equity-settled awards is determined at the date of the grant. In calculating fair value, no account is taken of any vesting conditions, other than conditions linked to the price of the shares of the Company. Each tranche in an award is considered a separate award with its own vesting period and grant date fair value. The fair value is determined by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. At each financial reporting date, the cumulative expense representing the extent to which the vesting period has expired and management's best estimate of the awards that are ultimately expected to vest is computed. The movement in cumulative expense is recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations with a corresponding entry against the related equity settled share-based payments reserve account over the vesting period. No expense is recognized for awards that do not ultimately vest. If the awards expire unexercised, the related amount remains in share-option reserve.

    Where equity instruments are granted to non-employees, they are recorded at the fair value of the goods or services received in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, unless they are related to the issuance of shares. Amounts related to the issuance of shares are recorded as a reduction of share capital. When the value of goods or services received in exchange for the share-based payment cannot be reliably estimated, the fair value is measured by use of a valuation model. The fair value of stock options granted to non-employees is re-measured at the earlier of each financial reporting or vesting date, and any adjustment is charged or credited to operations upon re-measurement.

    2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

    (o) Valuation of equity units issued in private placements

    The Company has adopted a residual value method with respect to the measurement of shares and warrants issued as private placement units. The residual value method first allocates value to the more easily measurable component based on fair value and then the residual value, if any, to the less easily measurable component. The fair value of the common shares issued in the private placement was determined to be the more easily measurable component and were valued at their fair value, as determined by the closing quoted bid price on the announcement date. The balance, if any, is allocated to the attached warrants. Any fair value attributed to the warrants is recorded as warrant reserve. If the warrants are exercised, the related amount is reclassified as share capital. If the warrants expire unexercised, the related amount remains in warrant reserve.

    (p) Government grants

    The Company receives grants from government agencies related to sales and leases of its electric buses. The accounting for these grants depends on whether the carrying amount of the vehicle remains with the Company, which is the case for operating leases where the Company is the lessor. For government grants associated with leased vehicles under operating leases, the grant reduces the value of the asset.

    (q) Provisions and contingent liabilities

    Provisions are recognized when present obligations as a result of a past event will probably lead to an outflow of economic resources from the Company and amounts can be estimated reliably. Timing or amount of the outflow may still be uncertain. Provisions are measured at the estimated expenditure required to settle the present obligation, based on the most reliable evidence available at the reporting date, including the risks and uncertainties associated with the present obligation. Provisions are discounted when the time value of money is significant.

    (r)  Leases 

    Definition of a lease

    At inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease based on whether the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The Company has elected to apply the practical expedient to account for leases for which the lease term ends within 12 months of the date of initial application and leases of low value assets as short-term leases. The lease payments associated with these leases are recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

    The Company has also elected to apply the practical expedient for excluding the initial direct costs for the measurement of right of use assets at the date of initial application, as well as for using hindsight in determining the lease term where the contract contains options to extend or terminate the lease.

    2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

    (r) Leases (continued) 

    As a lessee

    The Company recognizes a right of use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right of use asset is initially measured at cost, based on the initial amount of the lease liability. The assets are depreciated to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right of use asset or the lease term using the straight-line method as this most closely reflects the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits. The lease term includes periods covered by an option to extend if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise that option.

    The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, at the Company's incremental borrowing rate.

    The ongoing lease liability is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. It is re- measured when there is a change in future lease payments, if there is a change in the Company's estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, or if the Company changes its assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option.

    When the lease liability is premeasured in this way a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right of use asset or is recorded in profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right of use asset has been reduced to zero.

    As a lessor

    When the Company acts as a lessor, it determines at lease inception whether each lease is a finance lease or an operating lease.

    To classify each lease, the Company makes an overall assessment of whether the lease transfers substantially all of the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the underlying asset. If this is the case, then the lease is a finance lease; if not, then it is an operating lease. As part of this assessment, the Company considers certain indicators such as whether the lease is for the major part of the economic life of the asset.

    If an arrangement contains lease and non-lease components, the Company applies IFRS 15 to allocate the consideration in the contract.

    Amounts due from lessees under finance leases are recorded as finance lease receivables at the amount of the Company's net investment in the leases. Finance lease income is allocated to accounting periods so as to reflect a constant periodic rate of return on the Company's net investment in the lease.

    The Company recognizes lease payments received under operating leases as income on a straight-line basis over the lease term, included in Revenue in the consolidated statements of operations.

    Impact on adoption

    On January 1, 2019, the Company elected to record right of use assets based on the corresponding lease liabilities, as described more fully in Note 8. Lease liabilities have been measured by discounting future lease payments at the incremental borrowing rate of 8% per annum, and represents the Company's best estimate of the rate of interest that it would expect to pay to borrow, on a collateralized basis, over a similar term, an amount equal to the lease payments in the current economic environment. As of March 31, 2019, the remaining non-cancelable period of one of the two leases is 29 months, and the other is 42 months.

    The application of IFRS 16 to leases previously classified as operating leases under IAS 17, resulted in the recognition of right of use assets and lease liabilities as at January 1, 2019. The following table summarizes the Right of Use Assets of the Company for the year ended March 31, 2019:

    

    During the year ended March 31, 2019, the Company entered into two transactions as lessor, one which was accounted for as an operating lease, and the other as a finance lease (Note 5). The adoption of IFRS 16 did not have a material impact on the financial results for the year ended March 31, 2019 for either of these transactions.

    (s) Adoption of accounting standards

    The following new or amended standards were adopted during the year ended March 31, 2021: IFRS 3 Definition of a Business

    The amendment to IFRS 3 Definition of a Business clarifies the definition of a business to help determine whether a transaction results in an asset or a business acquisition.

    The amendment to IFRS 3 Definition of a Business did not have an impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company for the year ended March 31, 2021.

    IAS 1 and IAS 8 Definition of Material

    The amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8 Definition of Material refined the definition of Material to make it easier and apply, to clarify that companies are required to disclose their material accounting policies rather than their significant accounting policies, that accounting policies related to immaterial transactions, events or conditions are themselves immaterial and need not be disclosed, and that not all accounting policies that relate to material transactions, other events or conditions are themselves material to a company's financial statements.

    The amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8 Definition of Material did not have an impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company for the year ended March 31, 2021.

    2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

    (s) Adoption of accounting standards (continued)

    IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS 7 Interest Rate Benchmark Reform

    The amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS 7 Interest Rate Benchmark Reform have been issued to address uncertainties resulting from the reform of interbank offered rates and their impact on financial instruments that qualify for hedge accounting.

    The amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS 7 Interest Rate Benchmark Reform did not have an impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company for the year ended March 31, 2021.

    (t) Future accounting pronouncements

    Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published by the IASB or the IFRS Interpretations Committee that are not mandatory for the March 31, 2021 reporting period, as follows:

    IAS 37 - Onerous Contracts

    The amendments to IAS 37 specify which costs an entity includes in determining the cost of fulfilling a contract for the purpose of assessing whether the contract is onerous. The amendments to IAS 37 specify which costs an entity includes in determining the cost of fulfilling a contract for the purpose of assessing whether the contract is onerous. These amendments are effective for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022.

    IAS 1 - Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-Current

    The amendments to IAS1 provide a more general approach to the classification of liabilities based on the contractual arrangements in place at the reporting date. These amendments are effective for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023.

    The Company has reviewed new and revised accounting pronouncements that have been issued but are not yet effective. The Company has not early adopted any of these standards and is currently evaluating the impact, if any, that these standards might have on its consolidated financial statements.

    3. Restricted Cash

    The Company has a restricted cash balance of $111,748 (2020 - $151,886) on deposit at a major financial institution in the United States. The funds relate to a contract for the sale of vehicles and will be returned to the Company within 30 days of acceptance of the vehicles by the customer.

    4. Accounts Receivable

    The Company has evaluated the carrying value of accounts receivable as at March 31, 2021 in accordance with IFRS 9 and has determined that an allowance against accounts receivable of $35,639 as at March 31, 2021 (2020 - $46,447) is warranted.

    5. Finance Lease Receivables

    Greenpower's wholly owned subsidiary San Joaquin Valley Equipment Leasing Inc. ("SJVEL") leases vehicles to several customers, and as at March 31, 2021 the Company had a total of 52 (2020 - 25) vehicles on lease that were determined to be finance leases, and the Company had a total of 2 (2020 - 2) vehicle on lease that were determined to be operating leases. During the year ended March 31, 2021, the Company entered into a mutual release agreement with the lessee of 30 EV Stars which were accounted for as finance leases, where SJVEL subsequently sold the vehicles to a third party. For operating leases, lease payments are recognized in revenue when earned.

    For the year ended March 31, 2021, selling profit on finance leases was $2,533,833 (2020 - $865,009, 2019 - $102,155). The following table illustrates Finance Lease Receivables as at March 31, 2021 and as at March 31, 2020:

    The following is a listing of inventory as at March 31, 2021 and 2020:

    
        	 	 	March 31, 2021	 	 	March 31, 2020	 
	 	 	 	 	 	 	 
	Work in Process	$	10,048,518	 	$	2,812,935

	Total	$	12,461,967	 	$	6,590,600	 

    

    During the year ended March 31, 2021, management wrote down the value of inventory by $57,261 (2020 - $nil, 2019 - $nil), and this amount was included in Cost of Sales.

    7. Promissory Note Receivable

    On January 23, 2018, the Company entered into multiple lease agreements (the "Agreements") with a third party (the "Customer") for the purpose of leasing EV 550's for a period of five years. On January 30, 2018, these lease payments, except for the final payment to be made by the Customer of CDN$1,000,000 to the Company, were purchased by and transferred to an independent third party (the "Purchaser") in exchange for a lump sum payment of CDN$1,492,611 to the Company. The Purchaser was granted a first-priority security interest in the EV550's. Both the lump sum and the discounted final payment were included in Revenue in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

    The CDN$1,000,000 due at the end of the lease term is classified as a Promissory Note Receivable on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. The Promissory Note Receivable has been discounted over the five-year lease term at a rate of 6.4%.

    The Company has evaluated the carrying value of the promissory note receivable as at March 31, 2021 and at March 31, 2020 in accordance with IFRS 9 and determined there was a significant increase in credit risk. The Company aggregated the present value of expected payments of the promissory note receivable under three probability weighted scenarios and determined that a provision of CDN$455,110 or $344,737 as at March 31, 2021 was warranted, and as at March 31, 2020 determined that a write down of the asset of CDN$297,883 or $223,919 was warranted. The carrying value of the promissory note receivable as at March 31, 2021 is $99,346 (March 31, 2020 - $384,261).

    8. Right of Use Assets and Lease Liabilities

    The Company has recorded Right of Use Assets and Lease Liabilities in its consolidated statement of financial position related to three properties in California for which the Company has entered into lease agreements that expire in more than one year. These leases are in a single class of Right of Use Assets, whose carrying value at March 31, 2021 was $355,178 (March 31, 2020 - $620,191). Rental payments on the Right of Use Assets are discounted using an 8% rate of interest and capitalized on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as Lease Liabilities. The value of the Right of Use Assets is determined at lease inception and include the capitalized lease liabilities, incorporate upfront costs incurred and incentives received, and the value is depreciated over the term of the lease. For the year ended March 31, 2021 the Company incurred interest expense of $39,432 (2020 - $56,614, 2019 - $25,199) on the Lease Liabilities, recognized depreciation expense of $265,013 (2020 - 251,787, 2019 - $87,752) on the Right of Use Assets and made total rental payments of $311,899 (2020 - $288,188, 2019 - $74,237). Additions to Right of Use Assets during the year was nil (2020 - $172,404, 2019 - $787,326).

    For one of the leases there is an option to extend the lease for a further 36 months. As at March 31, 2021, GreenPower has not committed to additional leases that begin after the year-end.

    	 	 	March 31, 2021	 	 	March 31, 2020

    13. Warrants (continued)

    In November 2018, 628,571 warrants were issued to two directors of the Company in consideration for guarantees offered by each of the two directors providing guarantees in support of the Company's Line of Credit (Note 10). The warrants are exercisable into one common share of the Company at a price of CDN$4.55 per share and expire on June 29, 2021 and had a calculated fair value of $948,640 (CDN

    $1,232,016). In March 2019 the Company agreed to issue 685,714 warrants to two Directors of the Company in consideration for additional guarantees offered by the two directors in support of an increase in the Company's Line of Credit (Note 10). The warrants are exercisable at an exercise price of CDN $4.20 per share and expire on March 14, 2022 and had a calculated fair value of $920,742 (CDN $1,229,378). The fair value of the warrants issued to the two directors is recognized under deferred financing fees in the Company's Statement of Financial Position and will be recognized in earnings over the 3-year term of the warrants, to approximate the estimated life of the benefits from the financing fees.

    During the year ended March 31, 2019, 83,565 warrants expired unexercised or were otherwise forfeited.

    The following table summarizes deferred financing fees for the years ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020:

    
        	 	 	March 31, 2021	 	 	March 31, 2020

    Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities;

    Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liabilities either directly or indirectly; and

    Level 3: Inputs that are not based on observable market data

    17. Financial Instruments (continued)

    The Company does not currently hold any financial instruments measured at fair value on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. The fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying value, unless otherwise noted.

    Overview

    The Company has exposure to the following financial instrument related risks.

    Credit risk

    The Company's exposure to credit risk is on its cash, accounts receivable, promissory note receivable, and on its finance lease receivables. The maximum exposure to credit risk is their carrying amounts in the consolidated statement of Financial Statements.

    Cash and restricted cash consists of cash bank balances held in major financial institutions in Canada and the United States with a high credit quality and therefore the Company is exposed to minimal risk. The Company assesses the credit risk of its account receivable, finance lease receivables and promissory note receivable at each reporting period end and on an annual basis. As at March 31, 2021 the Company recognized an allowance for credit losses of $35,639 against its accounts receivable (Note 4), and $344,737 for its promissory note receivable (Note 7).

    Liquidity risk

    The Company tries to ensure that there is sufficient capital in order to meet short-term business requirements, after taking into account the Company's cash balances and available liquidity on the Company's $8 million operating line of credit. The Company's cash is invested in bank accounts at major financial institutions in Canada and the United States and is available on demand. The Company will continue to rely on additional financings to further its operations and meet its capital requirements.

    Market risks

    Market risk is the risk of loss that may arise from changes in market factors such as interest rates and foreign exchange. The Company is exposed to interest rate risk with respect to its Line of Credit (Note 10).

    The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk as it conducts business in both the United States and Canada. Management monitors its foreign currency balances, but the Company does not engage in any hedging activities to reduce its foreign currency risk.

    At March 31, 2021, the Company was exposed to currency risk through the following financial assets and liabilities in CDN Dollars.

    
        	Cash	$	483,977	 
	Accounts Receivable	$	28,186	 
	Promissory Notes Receivable	$	140,000	 
	Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities	$	(172,641	)

    

    The CDN/USD exchange rate as at March 31, 2021 was $0.7952 (March 31, 2020 - $0.7049). Based on the net exposure and assuming all other variables remain constant, a 10% change in the appreciation or depreciation of the Canadian dollar relative to the US dollar would result in a change of approximately

    $38,132 to other comprehensive income/loss.

    18. Capital Management

    The Company's capital management objective is to obtain sufficient capital to develop new business opportunities for the benefit of its shareholders. To meet these objectives, management monitors the Company's ongoing capital requirements on specific business opportunities on a case-by-case basis. The capital structure of the Company consists of cash, operating line of credit, secured and unsecured promissory notes, convertible debentures and equity attributable to common shareholders, consisting of issued share capital and deficit.

    During the second quarter of fiscal 2021 the Company completed an initial public offering and concurrent private placement for gross proceeds of US$37.7 million less underwriting discounts and offering costs. As at March 31, 2021, the Company had a cash and restricted cash balance of $15,207,948, working capital of $30,808,375, accumulated deficit of ($31,625,388), and shareholder's equity of $36,152,448. Subject to market conditions and other factors the Company may raise additional capital in the future to fund and grow its business for the benefit of shareholders. The Company is subject to externally imposed capital requirements with respect to its line of credit (Note 10).

    22. Warranty Liability

    The Company generally provides its customers with a base warranty on the entire transit, school or charter bus. The Company also provides certain extended warranties, including those covering brake systems, lower-level components, fleet defect provisions and battery-related components, covering a warranty period of approximately one to five years, depending on the contract. Management estimates the related provision for future warranty claims based on historical warranty claim information as well as recent trends that might suggest past cost information may differ from future claims. It is expected that some of these costs will be incurred in the 2022 fiscal year and the remaining will be incurred beyond two years of the reporting date. The warranty provision is recorded at 3.5% of revenue from product sales.

23. Paycheck Protection Program Loan

    On April 29, 2020, the Company was approved for a $361,900 loan under the Payroll Protection Program ("PPP") administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration ("SBA"). The PPP is a loan program that originated from the U.S. Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act. Subject to approval by the SBA, all or a portion of the loan may be forgiven. The PPP loan has a term of two years, is unsecured, and bears interest at 1% per annum. The Company shall pay monthly payments in an amount equal to one month's accrued interest commencing on the seventh month. All interest which accrues during the initial six months of the loan period will be deferred to and payable on the maturity date.

    24. Litigation and Legal Proceedings

    As of the date of this report the Company is not currently a party to any litigation or legal proceedings which are material, either individually or in the aggregate. The Company has filed a civil claim against the prior CEO and Director of the Company in the Province of British Columbia, and the prior CEO and Director of the Company has filed a response with a counterclaim for wrongful dismissal in the Province of British Columbia. In addition, a company owned and controlled by a former employee who provided services to a subsidiary company of GreenPower until August 2013 filed a claim for breach of confidence against GreenPower in July 2020. The Company does not expect the outcome of either its claim, or the claim filed against it, to be material, and as of the date of this report the resolution of these claims, including the potential timing or financial impact of these claims is inherently uncertain.
