("Aurora" or the "Company") was incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada on 26 October 2006. The address of the Company's corporate and administrative office and principal place of business is Suite 900, 2025 Willingdon Avenue, Burnaby, BC V5C 0J3. On 25 August 2022, the Company acquired all the outstanding shares of BT Imaging Pty Ltd. ("BTi") through a share purchase agreement (Note 6). BTi is a private, Australian limited liability corporation who is a well-established leader in photoluminescence (PL) imaging tools for photovoltaic (PV) material inspection and quality control during production, and for laboratory use during product development. These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes the Company will continue to operate for the foreseeable future and be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations. Since inception and prior to the BTi acquisition, the Company experienced recurring operating losses and relied heavily on external financing to meet its ongoing cash needs. The acquisition of BTi has enhanced the Company's financial position, improving its capacity for self-financing and access to external capital, which is expected to support operations through market downturns. However, prevailing economic and market conditions present risks that could impact the Company's ability to sustain operations and achieve its financial goals. These factors indicate the existence of material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company's ability to raise adequate equity financing and the successful execution of the Company's business strategy are important factors in mitigating business critical risks. The Company is of the view that these objectives can be met, and that the going concern assumption remains appropriate. If the going concern assumption were not appropriate for these condensed interim consolidated financial statements, then adjustments would be necessary to the carrying value of assets and liabilities, the reported expenses and the condensed interim consolidated statement of financial position classifications used, and such adjustments could be material. A material adverse effect on our employees, customers, suppliers and/or logistics providers could have a material adverse impact on us. Specifically, the potential for future tariffs and/or other trade barriers could significantly impact and put additional downward pressure on the Company's ability to generate future revenues and profitability. ‌Basis of preparation - statement of compliance These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards and International Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (collectively "IFRS Accounting Standards") applicable to the preparation of interim consolidated financial statements, including International Accounting Standards 34 Interim Financial Reporting ("IAS 34"), on a basis consistent with those accounting policies followed by the Company in the most recent audited annual consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, certain information and note disclosures normally included in the audited annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards have been omitted or condensed. As a result, these condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2025 ("Annual Financial Statements"). The condensed interim consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors and authorized for issuance on 29 August 2025. The condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for financial instruments which have been measured at their fair value. The policies set out were consistently applied to all the periods presented unless otherwise noted below. The preparation of condensed interim consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, profit, and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an on-going basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and further periods if the review affects both current and future periods. ‌Material accounting policies Basis of consolidation These condensed interim consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and the entities controlled by the Company. These condensed interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its 100% wholly-owned subsidiaries, Aurora Solar Technologies (Canada) Inc. ("ASTC"), BTi, and BT (Jiaxing) Semiconductor Technology Co., Ltd ("BTJ"). Control exists when the Company is exposed to or has the rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entities. Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Company has control. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the condensed interim consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. ‌Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty The following are the critical judgements and areas involving estimates, that management have made in the process of applying the Company's accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amount recognized in the condensed interim consolidated financial statements. Critical judgements in applying accounting policies Revenue recognition Revenue is recognized once the control of a good or service is transferred to a customer and is available to make use of the good or service. Contracts detail the specific performance obligations associated with the distinct service or good provided. In the instance of a contract that does not specify distinct goods and services, the one performance obligation may include several goods or services that are provided to a customer and delivered against a performance metric. Judgement is used to determine whether multiple promised goods or services in a contract should be accounted for separately or as bundle. Significant judgement and estimation are also exercised to the extent of determining the stand-alone price to be allocated to each of the promised goods and services. Key sources of estimation uncertainty Inventory valuation The Company's raw inventory is only valuable to the extent that it can be turned into saleable product. Inventory must be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value and the Company must estimate that the measurement criteria used has not changed. The Company reviews its inventory to determine whether its carrying value exceeds the net amount realizable upon the ultimate sale of the inventory. This requires the Company to determine the estimated selling price of its units less the estimated cost to convert the inventory on-hand into a finished product. Estimates of net realizable value require assessment of the impact of technological changes and estimates of salvage values if products or components are judged obsolete. Any future changes in the estimated inventory valuation could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations. Impairment testing The Company assesses impairment of tangible and intangible assets with finite lives when an impairment indicator arises (e.g. change in use or discontinued use, obsolescence or physical damage). If indication of impairment exists, the assets recoverable amount is estimated. In the case of goodwill and intangibles with infinite lives, the Company tests at least annually for impairment, in accordance with IAS 36 Impairment of Assets. The recoverable amounts of cash-generating units ("CGU") are determined based on the greater of their fair value less costs of disposal and value in use which require the use of estimates and judgements. A CGU is defined as the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows largely independent of other assets or groups of assets. The Company has only one CGU, which consist of the assets of both BTi and Aurora. When the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or group of assets, the asset is tested at the CGU level. In assessing impairment, the Company compares the carrying amount of the asset or CGU to the recoverable amount, which is determined as the higher of the asset or CGU's fair value less costs of disposal and its value-in-use. Value-in-use is assessed based on the estimated future cash flows, discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects applicable market and economic conditions, the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. 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. An impairment loss is recognized whenever the carrying amount of the asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount and is recorded in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss. The Company tests goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets for impairment on an annual basis at 31 March or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset's carrying amount may be less than its recoverable amount. Amounts receivable The Company estimates the recoverability of amounts receivable based on assessments of client credit ratings, payment history and other related items. Estimates of expected credit losses take into account the Company's collection history, deterioration of collection rates during the average credit period, as well as observable charges in and forecasts of future economic conditions that affect default risk. Provisions and contingent liabilities A provision is recognized if the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation for product liability, accrual of product warranties, liabilities for potential litigation claims and settlements. Management must use judgement in determining whether all the above three conditions have been met to recognize a provision or whether a continent liability is in existence at the reporting date. Should an event change that impacts the recognition of a provision or a contingency, the impact could be materially different from management's initial estimate and affect future condensed interim consolidated financial statements. ‌Financial instruments and risk management Fair value measurement The Company classifies its fair value measurements with a fair value hierarchy, which categorizes into three levels the inputs used in making the measurements. The three levels of hierarchy are: Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical financial instruments. Level 2 - quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant and significant value drivers are observable in active markets. Level 3 - valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. Classification of fair values of financial assets and liabilities Financial instruments of the Company carried on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position are carried at amortized cost. The Company's financial assets classified as amortized cost include cash, restricted investments and amounts receivable. Amounts payable and accrued liabilities are classified as financial liabilities at amortized cost. The carrying value of these financial assets and liabilities approximate the fair value because of their short-term nature. Lease liabilities and loans are also classified as other financial liabilities at amortized cost, applying a market rate of interest, and are subsequently measured using the effective interest method. Other risk Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices will affect the Company's earnings or the value of its financial instruments. Market risk is comprised of commodity price risk and interest rate risk. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control exposures within acceptable limits, while maximizing returns. These market risks are evaluated by monitoring changes in key economic indicators and market information on an on-going basis and adjusting operations and budgets accordingly. Credit risk Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation and cause the other party to incur a financial loss. The Company's exposure to credit risk is both from its bank accounts as well as from credit sales. The Company is exposed to credit risk by holding cash, which are all held in financial institutions in Australia, Canada and China, and management believes the exposure to credit risk with respect to such institutions is not significant. The Company's other exposure to credit risk is through its amounts receivable that are made up of a small number of customers. Management assesses the credit risk of new customers as well as monitors the creditworthiness of existing customers through a review of the trade receivables' aging analysis. The Company determines the allowance using an expected credit loss ("ECL") model. Over-due balances are reviewed for collectability and allowance for doubtful amounts, where appropriate, will be provided. As at 30 June 2025 the Company has $234,147 (31 March 2025 - $158,966) in trade amounts receivable. During the three months ended, 30 June 2025 the Company recognized a reversal of impairment loss on financial assets totalling $189,126 (2025-$Nil). This reversal relates to amounts previously recognized as uncollectible in prior periods. Interest rate risk Interest rate risk is the risk of losses that arise as a result of changes in contracted interest rates. The Company maintains cash in accounts at Canadian, Australian, and China Chartered Banks that bear interest at nominal rates. The Company's lease liabilities and loans are based on fixed interest rates. The Company's exposure to interest rate risk is minimal (Note 19). Currency risk Currency risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk, as it deals with customers and vendors in currencies other than its functional currency. A 5% change in exchange would impact the condensed interim consolidated financial statements by $33,000 (31 March 2025 - $26,000). As at 30 June 2025 the Company held currency totalling the following: Liquidity Liquidity risk arises through the excess of financial obligations over available financial assets due at any point in time. The Company's objective in managing this is to maintain readily available reserves to meet its liquidity requirements at any point in time. The Company manages liquidity risk through the management of its capital structure and resources to ensure that it has sufficient liquidity to settle obligations and liabilities when they are due. The Company's ability to fund its operating requirements depends on future operating performance and cash flows, which are subject to economic, financial, competitive, and regulatory conditions, and other factors, some of which are beyond its control. The Company's primary short-term liquidity needs are to fund its net operating losses and lease payments. The Company's medium-term liquidity needs primarily relate to debt repayments and lease payments. The Company's long-term liquidity needs primarily relate to potential strategic plans. The table below presents the contractual maturity of the Company's financial liabilities, including both principal and interest payments as at 30 June 2025: Less than 1 year 1 to 5 years Total 1 Amounts payable and accrued liabilities $ 1,476,154 $ - $ 1,476,154 Lease liabilities 35,208 - 35,208 Term loan 703,020 22,768 725,788 $ 2,214,382 $ 22,768 $ 2,237,150 1 The Company has no contractual obligations greater than 5 years. The Company monitors its level of expected cash inflows on trade and other receivables together with expected cash outflows on trade and other payables regularly. The Company's objective in managing its liquidity is to ensure it has sufficient readily available funds to meet its financial obligations when due, under both normal and stressed conditions. The Company is currently operating in a challenging economic environment characterized by a significant market downturn. This downturn has introduced increased liquidity risk due to impacts on cash flows from operations and the ability to access capital markets. Management actively monitors the Company's liquidity position through continuous forecasting of cash flows, prioritizing the allocation of its constrained cash resources to meet critical obligations. While the primary focus is on liquidity, the market downturn also presents elevated credit risk related to the collectability of trade receivables. Management monitors customer accounts closely and maintains an allowance for expected credit loss. For the three months ended 30 June 2025, the Company recognized a credit loss of $(189,126) (31 March 2025-$174,213). The Chinese Renminbi held in China are not freely convertible into other currencies, and the exchange risk is, therefore, less easily managed. However, under China's Foreign Exchange Control Regulations and the Administration of Settlement, Sale and Payment of Foreign Exchange Regulations, the Company is permitted to exchange RMB for other currencies through banks authorised to conduct foreign exchange business. Further, the cash balances held in Industrial Commercial Bank of China ("ICBC") accounts represent only a small portion of the Company's total cash resources and the exchange risk is, therefore, proportionally small. As at 30 June 2025, the Company held cash balances in ICBC of $90,037 (31 March 2025 - $64,005). ‌BTi acquisition On 25 August 2022, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of BTi through a share purchase agreement. In consideration for the acquisition of BTi, the Company paid $1,205,310 in cash and issued 62,969,351 common shares of the Company to BTi shareholders. During the fiscal year ended 31 March 2024, the final tranche of the 42,934,348 were released from escrow. In accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards 3 - Business Combinations , the Company accounted for the acquisition as a business combination using the acquisition method whereby the net assets acquired, and the liabilities assumed were recorded at fair value. The purchase price allocated to BTI's identifiable assets and liabilities based on their estimated fair values on the acquisition date is summarized as follows: Purchase consideration Cash consideration $ 1,205,310 Fair value of common shares issued 5,544,772 Total purchase consideration $ 6,750,082 Fair value of net assets acquired $ 6,121,155 Goodwill 628,927 Total fair value of net assets acquired $ 6,750,082 ‌Amounts receivable 30 June 2025 31 March 2025 Trade receivables $ 237,811 $ 158,966 GST receivable and other taxes recoverable 1,112,537 912,125 Total amount receivable $ 1,350,348 $ 1,071,091 For the three months ended 30 June 2025, the Company recorded a credit loss of $(189,126) (31 March 2025- $174,213). During the fiscal year ended 31 March 2025, the Company recognized a receivable of $853,162 related to refundable R&D tax credits. This amount represents a cash refund expected from the Australian Taxation Office under the R&D Tax Incentive program, for qualifying scientific research and experimental development expenditures incurred by the Company during the three months ended 30 June 2025. The R&D tax incentive is a government program designed to encourage innovation by providing financial support for eligible R&D activities in Australia. Receivables are recognized when the Company determines that it meets the eligibility criteria for the refundable tax offset, and management had a reasonable assurance that the full amount will be recovered. Subsequent to the three months ended 30 June 2025, the Company filed for and received the refundable R&D tax credit of $853,162 relating to the fiscal year ended 31 March 2025. ‌Inventory 30 June 2025 31 March 2025 Raw materials $ 2,458,130 $ 2,471,902 Work-in-process 1,037,431 936,176 Finished goods - 347,304 Finished goods on consignment 219,539 116,685 Total inventory $ 3,715,101 $ 3,872,067 Inventory expensed to cost of sales during the three months ended 30 June 2025 was $188,263 (31 March 2025 - $1,642,585). During the three months ended 30 June 2025, the Company wrote off $Nil of inventory related to slow moving and/or obsolescent products (31 March 2025 - $362,970). ‌Intangibles - intellectual property Total Cost: Balance, 31 March 2024 $ 1,029,642 Additions 1,435 Impairment (Note 10) (244,521) Impact of foreign exchange 11,318 Balance, 31 March 2025 $ 797,874 Additions - Impact of foreign exchange 2,163 Balance, 30 June 2025 $ 800,037 Accumulated Depreciation: Balance, 31 March 2024 (289,159) Additions (129,847) Balance, 31 March 2025 (419,006) Additions (26,512) Balance, 30 June 2025 $ (445,518) Carrying Amount Balance, 30 June 2025 $ 354,519 Balance, 31 March 2025 $ 378,868 ‌Goodwill Changes in goodwill were as follows: Total Balance as at 31 March 2024 $ 628,927 Impairment (628,927) Balance as at 31 March 2025 $ - During the year ended 31 March 2025, due to operational changes and other commercial factors, the Company determined indicators of impairment existed and it carried out a review of the recoverable amount of its single CGU. In assessing for impairment, the Company compared the recoverable amount of the CGU to its carrying value. Under the value in use approach, the recoverable amount is calculated based on the discounted cash flow analysis for the CGU. Impairment of the CGU The Company has made certain assumptions in determining the cash flow projections based on five-year cash flow forecasts which include management's best estimate of expected market conditions including economic trends, industry trends and the CGU's past performance. The key assumptions in conducting the analysis require significant estimations of revenue growth rates (the Company's ability to generate future revenue, with potential fluctuations influenced by external and internal factors), operating margins (a percentage of revenue representing the profitability of the Company's core operations after account for operating expenses), and discount rates (such as the weighted average of the Company's cost of equity and cost of debt, representing the overall required rate of return on the Company's capital). These unobservable units, classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy, are subject to inherent volatility and various uncontrollable factors that could substantially impact the present value of the discounted cash flows. These assumptions are highly sensitive to changes in the underlying economic and business environment, which could materially impact the fair value measure. For the year ended 31 March 2025, the Company used the below assumptions as presented in the following table, to ascertain the estimated recoverable amount of the CGU. For the Year Ended 31 March 2025 For the Year Ended 31 March 2024 Compound annual growth rate on revenues 17.0% 11.0% Operating margin 10% 15% Pre-tax adjusted discount rate 22.5% 21.4% Terminal value multiple 3.5 3.5 Terminal revenue growth rate 2.0% 2.0% For the year ended 31 March 2025, a total impairment expense of $1,054,252 (2024-$Nil) was recognized, recorded against the goodwill asset of $628,927, patents of $223,369, equipment of $140,497, ROU assets of $36,792 and other assets of $24,667. These assets and the corresponding impairment loss are allocated to the Company's operating segment (Note 23). Sensitivity Analysis The following sensitivity has been performed for the CGU: estimated future profitability 5% lower than managements estimates; terminal value assuming zero growth; and pre-tax discount rate 5% higher than managements estimates. Impact of a 5% change in each of the scenarios: Asset / CGU Actual Impairment Recognized 31 March 2025 (A) Increase in Discount Rate (B) Decrease in Estimated Future Profitability (C) Decrease in Growth Rate (D) Patents $ 244,521 $ 141,580 $ 178,867 $ 10,684 Equipment $ 153,801 $ 89,052 $ 112,505 $ 6,720 Other assets $ 27,003 $ 15,635 $ 19,752 $ 1,180 Total Impact $ 425,325 $ 246,267 $ 311,124 $ 18,584 Total impairment if scenario occurred $ 671,592 $ 736,449 $ 443,909 (A+B, A+C, A+D) At 31 March 2025, a 15% percent increase in the discount rate or a 10.5% percent decrease in the estimated future profitability would have resulted in patents, equipment and other assets being impaired to $Nil. ‌Other assets Balance Balance as at 31 March 2024 60,585 Additions 8,256 Impairment (Note 10) (27,003) Balance as at 31 March 2025 41,838 Additions 2,337 Balance as at 30 June 2025 $ 44,175 Aurora Solar Technologies Inc.
