Basis of Presentation and Statement of Compliance
Statement of Compliance
These unaudited condensed interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting ("IAS 34") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"). Accordingly, certain disclosures included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRSs") as issued by the IASB have been condensed or omitted and these unaudited interim condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2024.
These financial statements were approved by the Company's Board of Directors and authorized for
issue on September 11, 2025.
- Critical Accounting Estimates and Use of Judgement
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments about the future. Estimates and judgments are continuously evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Areas of financial reporting that require management's estimates and judgments are discussed below.
Significant estimates used in the preparation of these financial statements include the following:
Determination of the Company's allowance for credit losses
Estimates and judgments are required as to the timing of establishing an allowance for credit losses and the amount of the required allowance taking into consideration counterparty creditworthiness, current economic trends, the expected residual value of leased assets and past experience.
Valuation of inventory
Inventories are recorded at the lower of cost and net realizable value with cost determined on a specific item basis for new and used vehicles. In determining net realizable value for new vehicles, the Company primarily considers the age of the vehicles along with the timing of annual and model
3. Critical Accounting Estimates and Use of Judgement (continued)changeovers. For used vehicles, the Company considers recent market data and trends such as loss histories along with the current age of the inventory. The determination of net realizable value for inventories involves the use of estimates.
Valuation of underlying residual values of leased assets
The Company has significant investments in leased vehicles recorded as operating leases, which relate to vehicle leases. At the beginning of the lease contract a determination is made of the estimated realizable value of the vehicle at the end of the lease term, which is the critical assumption underlying the estimated carrying value of leased assets. The estimated realizable value is based on the lower of the contracted residual value or the current market estimate of residual value based on independent lease guides. Since the customer is not obligated to purchase the vehicle at the end of the contract, the Company is exposed to a risk of loss to the extent the value of the vehicle at the end of the lease term is below the residual value estimated at contract inception. Over the life of the lease the Company evaluates the adequacy of the estimate of the residual value and may make adjustments to the extent the expected value of the vehicle at lease termination changes. Adjustments could result in a change in the depreciation rate of the leased asset or if an impairment exists, an impairment charge.
Useful lives of equipment
The Company's capitalized property and equipment balances are determined in part through the use of estimates of the useful lives of the underlying assets. In developing their accounting policy for property and equipment, the Company makes estimates of these useful lives. Changes in useful lives of property and equipment may result in adjustments to these capitalized balances in future periods if there are signs that estimates may no longer be accurate.
Income taxes
The determination of current tax expense requires estimates and assumptions. Further the Company's estimates of its deferred income tax assets and liabilities require subjective assumptions regarding future income tax rates and the likelihood of utilizing tax carry-forwards. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the recorded amounts.
Significant judgements made as part of the preparation of these financial statements include the following:
Determination of lease type
On entering lease arrangements, the Company assesses whether the lease is a finance lease or an operating lease. As part of this determination, the Company makes a number of estimates associated with the lease, the customer, and the fair value of the underlying assets. The accounting for an operating lease is significantly different from that of a finance lease. As such, this determination has a significant impact on the way the leased assets are presented within the Company's financial statements.
-
Critical Accounting Estimates and Use of Judgement (continued)
Share-based payments
The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of options and warrants in order to calculate share-based compensation expense and the fair value of agent warrants. The Black-Scholes model involves six key inputs to determine fair value of an option: risk-free interest rate, exercise price, market price at date of issue, expected dividend yield, expected life, and expected volatility. Certain of the inputs are estimates that involve considerable judgment and are or could be affected by significant factors that are out of the Company's control. The Company is also required to estimate the future forfeiture rate of options based on historical information in its calculation of share-based payments expense.
- Material Accounting Policy Information
Adoption of new accounting policies
The Company adopted Disclosure of Accounting Policies (Amendments to IAS1 and IFRS Practice Statements 2) from November 1, 2023.
The amendments required the disclosure of "material" rather than "significant" accounting policies. The amendments also provide guidance on the application of materiality to disclosure of policies, assisting entities to provide useful, entity specific accounting policy information that users need to understand other information in the financial statements.
This amendment did not have a material impact on the Company.
Standards issued but not yet effective
The Company has elected to not early adopt standards, interpretations or amendments that have been issued but are not yet effective. The new and amended standards and interpretations that have been issued, but are not yet effective, up to the date of issuance of the Company's financial statements are disclosed below. If applicable, the Company intends to adopt when they become effective.
Amendments to IAS 1: Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current
The amendments to IAS 1 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, 2024.
The Company does not expect the adoption of this new amendment to have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.
IFRS 18: Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements
In April 2024, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 1, "Presentation of Financial Statements" to specify the requirements for reporting and disclosures. The amendments clarify:
Categories for income and expenses;
Requirement to disclose performance measures in the notes to financial statements
The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027. The amendments are not expected to have a material impact on the Company at this time.
4. Material Accounting Policy Information (continued)Cash, restricted cash, and cash equivalents
Cash consists of amounts held in banks with maturities less than three months at inception. Interest from cash is recorded on an accrual basis. The Company's cash equivalents consist of term deposits maturing within the next year. Restricted cash consists of funds held in escrow subject to security conditions related to the Company's Securitization Financing (see Note 15).
Lease receivables
The Company recognizes and measures finance lease receivables in accordance with IFRS 9,
Financial Instruments ("IFRS 9").
Under a finance lease substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to legal ownership are transferred by the lessor to the lessee at the inception of the lease transaction.
Direct financing leases, which are contracts under terms that provide for the transfer of substantially all the benefits and risks of equipment ownership to customers, are carried at amortized cost. These leases are recorded at the aggregate minimum payments plus guaranteed residual values less unearned finance income. Unearned finance income includes origination fees earned.
Direct financing leases and loans are recognized as being impaired when the Company is no longer reasonably assured of the timely collection of the full amount of principal and interest. As a matter of practice, a direct financing lease or a loan is deemed to be impaired at the earlier of the date it has been individually provided for when timely collection is not assured or when it has been in arrears for 120 days. When amounts receivable are considered impaired, their book value is adjusted to their estimated realizable value based on the fair value of any collateral underlying the receivable, net of any costs of realization, by totally or partially writing off the loan and/or establishing an allowance for credit losses.
Revenue recognition
Brokerage Commissions
The Company facilitates vehicle sales through third-party dealerships where customers have low or limited credit history. The Company bears limited inventory risk in the transaction and does not have latitude in setting vehicle prices and therefore the Company only recognizes the net fees. In these situations, the fees are recorded as revenue at the time the customer enters into the contract and the Company is entitled to the fee. The Company is not the obligor under any of these contracts.
Automobile sales
Revenue is recognized when the risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the customer and the revenue and costs can be reliably measured and it is probable that economic benefits will flow to the Company. In practice, this means that revenue is recognized when vehicles are invoiced and physically delivered to the customer and payment has been received or credit approval has been obtained by the customer.
4. Material Accounting Policy Information (continued)Revenue recognition (continued)
Lease interest and rental income
Finance lease interest income is included in profit or loss for all financial assets measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The effective interest rate is the rate that discounts estimated future cash flows through the expected life of the financial instrument back to the net carrying amount of the financial asset. The calculation takes into account all contractual terms of the financial instrument including prepayment options, fee income charged to the customer on the origination of all financial assets, and all purchase premiums or discounts, net of any transaction costs that are directly attributable to the financial instrument, but not future credit losses. The application of the method has the effect of recognizing revenue on the financial instrument evenly in proportion of the amount outstanding over the period to maturity or repayment. Once the recorded value of a financial asset has been reduced due to an impairment loss, interest revenue continues to be recognized using the rate of interest used to discount the future cash flows for the purpose of measuring the impairment loss. This is offset by a corresponding adjustment to the loan loss provision charge to reflect the fact that this additional revenue may not be collectible.
Rental income on operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Taxation
Income tax expense is comprised of current and deferred income taxes. Current income tax and deferred income tax are recognized in profit or loss.
Current income tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.
The Company follows the liability method to provide for income taxes on all transactions recorded in its financial statements. The liability method requires that income taxes reflect the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined for each temporary difference and for unused losses, as applicable, at rates expected to be in effect when the asset is realized or the liability is settled. The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in earnings or equity in the period that includes the substantive enactment date. Deferred income tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that the assets can be recovered.
Inventories
New, used and demonstrator vehicle inventories are recorded at the lower of cost and net realizable value with cost determined on a specific item basis.
In determining net realizable value for new vehicles, the Company primarily considers the age of the vehicles along with the timing of annual and model changeovers. For used vehicles, the Company considers recent market data and trends such as loss histories along with the current age of the inventory.
4. Material Accounting Policy Information (continued)The Company retains security over the vehicles associated with each lease. Subject to certain conditions, the Company may repossess a vehicle provided a notice of default has been issued to the customer, or upon the customer voluntarily terminating their contract. The Company attempts to negotiate with customer to avoid the need for repossession whenever possible. Vehicles that are repossessed are either disposed of at the wholesale used vehicle market price or re-leased to new customers with the proceeds offsetting any outstanding balance. The customer is liable for any shortfall.
Share capital
Common shares are classified as share capital. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of common shares are recognized as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects. Warrants issued in units are accounted for with the relative fair value method and classified as warrants reserve. Broker's warrants values are classified under contributed surplus.
Deferred financing costs incurred in connection with the issuance of common shares are capitalized until the financing is completed. In the event the financing is not completed, these costs are expensed to profit or loss.
Proceeds that are received in advance of the completion of an issuance of common shares are recorded within equity as subscriptions received in advance.
Convertible debentures
Convertible debentures, where all significant terms of the agreement are known, are separated into their liability and equity components and accounted for using effective interest rate method. The fair value of the liability component at the time of issue was determined based on an estimated interest rate of the debentures without the conversion feature. The fair value of the equity component was determined as the difference between the face value and the fair value of the liability component.
Convertible debentures for which the conversion price is not known are recorded as liabilities in their entirety.
Earnings per share ("EPS")
Basic EPS amounts are calculated by dividing net income attributable to common shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted EPS amounts are calculated with consideration given to convertible preferred shares, stock options and warrants, and assumes that any proceeds received on exercise of options or warrants would be used to purchase common shares at the average market price during the period. Diluted EPS amounts also include exchangeable shares using the "if-converted" method to determine the dilutive effect of convertible and subordinate debentures, whereby it is assumed the conversion of the exchangeable shares occurs at the beginning of the reporting period (or at the time of issuance, if later) where applicable. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding is then adjusted by the net change.
4. Material Accounting Policy Information (continued)Share-based compensation
Equity-settled share-based compensation to employees and others providing similar services are measured at the fair value of equity instruments at the grant date. The fair value is measured at grant date, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, and each tranche is recognized on a graded-vesting basis over the period in which options vest. At the end of the reporting period, the Company revises its estimate of the number of equity instruments expected to vest. The impact of the revision of the original estimates, if any, is recognized in profit and loss such that the cumulative expense reflects the revised estimate, with a corresponding adjustment to contributed surplus.
Equity-settled share-based compensation transactions with parties other than employees are measured at the fair value of the goods or services received, except where the fair value cannot be estimated reliably, in which case they are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments granted, measured at the date the entity obtains the goods or the counterparty renders the service.
Consideration received on the exercise of the stock options is recorded in share capital and the related share-based payment in contributed surplus is transferred to share capital. Charges for options that are forfeited before vesting are reversed from equity.
Dividends
Dividends on common shares are recognized in the Company's consolidated financial statements in
the period the dividends are declared by the Company's Board of Directors.
Property under operating leases
The Company determines the classification of a lease at its lease inception date. An operating lease is one that does not transfer substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee.
Property classified as operating leases are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and are being depreciated to their estimated residual values using the straight-line method over the lease term.
Property under operating leases are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of those assets may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds the higher of the asset's fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. The Company has not been required to record an impairment loss to date.
Property, plant and equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. Residual values, useful lives and methods of amortization are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each financial year end. Land is not amortized. Unless noted otherwise, amortization of property and equipment is provided for over the estimated useful life of the assets on the declining balance basis at the following annual rates:
4. Material Accounting Policy Information (continued)Land 0%
Buildings 4%
Leasehold Improvements Straight line basis over the term of the lease
Furniture and Equipment 20%
Computer Equipment 30%
Software 4 years straight line method
Impairment of non-current assets
The carrying amounts of the Company's non-current assets are reviewed at each reporting date for indicators of impairment. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the amount of the impairment, if any. The recoverable amount of an asset is evaluated at the Cash Generating Unit ("CGU") level, which is the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.
The recoverable amount of a CGU is the greater of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. Fair value less cost to sell 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, less the costs of disposal. 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.
Financial instruments Classification
The Company determines the classification of its financial instruments at initial recognition. Upon initial recognition, a financial asset is classified as measured at: amortized cost, fair value through profit and loss ("FVTPL"), or fair value through other comprehensive income (loss) ("FVOCI"). The classification of financial assets is generally based on the business model in which a financial asset is managed and its contractual cash flow characteristics. A financial liability is classified as measured at amortized cost or FVTPL.
A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as FVTPL:
it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and
its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
-
Material Accounting Policy Information (continued)
A debt investment is measured at FVOCI if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as FVTPL:
it is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets; and
its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
An equity investment that is held for trading is measured at FVTPL. For other equity investments that are not held for trading, the Company may irrevocably elect to designate them as FVOCI. This election is made on an investment-by-investment basis.
All financial assets not classified as measured at amortized cost or FVOCI as described above are measured at FVTPL. This includes all derivative financial assets. On initial recognition, the Company may irrevocably designate a financial asset that otherwise meets the requirements to be measured at amortized cost or at FVOCI as at FVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise.
Financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost, unless they are required to be measured at FVTPL (such as instruments held for trading or derivatives) or the Company has elected to measure them at FVTPL.

Initial measurement
On initial recognition, all financial assets and financial liabilities are measured at fair value adjusted for directly attributable transaction costs except for financial assets and liabilities classified as FVTPL, in which case the transaction costs are expensed as incurred.

Material Accounting Policy Information (continued)
Subsequent measurement
The following accounting policies apply to the subsequent measurement of financial instruments:
Financial assets at FVTPL
These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Net gains and losses, including any interest or dividend income, are recognized in profit or loss.
Financial assets at amortized cost
These assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The amortized cost is reduced by impairment losses. Interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognized in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on de-recognition is recognized in profit or loss.
Equity investments at FVOCI
These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Dividends are recognized as income in profit or loss unless the dividend clearly represents a recovery of part of the cost of the investment. Other net gains and losses are recognized in OCI and are never reclassified to profit or loss.
Debt investments at FVOCI
These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Interest income is calculated using the effective interest rate method, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognized in profit or loss. Other net gains and losses are recognized in OCI. On de-recognition, gains and losses accumulated in OCI are reclassified to profit or loss.
Impairment of financial instruments
Impairment of financial assets at amortized cost: The Company assesses all information available, including on a forward-looking basis, the expected credit losses associated with its assets carried at amortized cost. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk. To assess whether there is a significant increase in credit risk, the Company compares the risk of a default occurring on the asset as the reporting date, with the risk of default as at the date of initial recognition, based on all information available, and reasonable and supportive forward-looking information.
- Financial Instruments and Risk Management
Fair value
The Company's financial instruments recognized on the statements of financial position consist of cash, term deposits, accounts receivable, due from related company, car loans receivable, receivable under finance lease, bank indebtedness, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, customers' advances, customers' deposits, due to shareholder, convertible debentures and short-term loans payable. The fair values of the Company's short term financial instruments approximate their carrying values due to their short-term maturity. The fair values of the Company's long term financial assets and liabilities approximate their carrying values based on market interest rates. The Company has classified financial instruments as follows:

The Company's cash equivalents consist of term deposits maturing within the next year.
The Company has exposure to the following risks from its use of financial instruments: credit, interest rate, liquidity, and price risk. The Company reviews its risk management framework on a quarterly basis and makes adjustments as necessary. The fair values of the Company's financial assets and liabilities held at amortized cost approximates their book values.
Credit risk
Credit risk arises from the potential that a counter party will fail to perform its obligations. The Company's financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash, term deposits, accounts receivable, due from related company, car loans receivable, and lease receivables. The Company attempts to mitigate the risks associated with cash and term deposits by dealing only with major Canadian financial institutions with good credit ratings and performs credit assessments of all customers making material orders. The Company attempts to mitigate the risks associated with car loans receivable and lease receivables through its credit check process performed before entering into any sales arrangement.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair values and future cash flows of the Company will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company's financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of interest rate risk consist of bank indebtedness and short-term loans. A change in the prime rate of interest of 1% would result in additional interest expense for the Company of $57,578 per year.

Financial Instruments and Risk Management (continued)
Liquidity risk
The Company's approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities as they come due. The Company currently settles all of its financial obligations out of cash generated from operations. The ability to do so relies on the Company maintaining sufficient cash in excess of anticipated needs. To help manage its liquidity the Company has obtained an operating loan agreement through a major schedule 1 Canadian Financial Institution (Note 13).
Price risk
Price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices (other than those arising from currency risk or interest rate risk). The Company is at risk to changes in commodity prices, which may affect financing options available to the Company.
-
Inventory
Inventory at July 31, 2025 and October 31, 2024 consist of vehicles held for sale. The inventory is carried at the lower of cost or net realizable value and as at July 31, 2025 and October 31, 2024, the Company has not recorded any reserves for inventory write downs.
- Receivable Under Finance Lease
Finance lease receivables consist of conditional sales contracts, which have terms of 3 to 72 months with fixed rates of interest. In 2022, the Company adopted the use of guaranteed residual values by lessees resulting in substantially all new lease agreements being classified as finance leases.
All lease receivables are secured by the corresponding vehicle and typically contain a contractual guarantee of the residual price by the lessor. The contractual maturity of the portfolio outstanding of continuing operations as at July 31, 2025 and October 31, 2024, assuming no prepayments, is as follows:

In accordance with IFRS 9, the Company records a provision for credit losses using the Expected Credit Losses model that segments its finance receivables into three stages- Stage 1 "performing", Stage 2 "underperforming" and Stage 3 "non-performing".
There is credit risk inherent in finance receivables resulting from the potential non-payment or other objective evidence of deterioration in the collectability of the receivable. The primary evidence of impairment used by the Company is monitoring for timely payment with payments over 90 days being an indication of non-performance. Receivables past due may be indicative of underperforming receivables should they persist or not be collected within 120 days. Prior to 2022, the Company primarily entered into lease agreements with unguaranteed residual values resulting in a limited number of finance type leases and were categorized as performing due to limited payment defaults and no historical credit losses. The Company's leases also typically include down payments and customer deposits to discourage non-performance.
-
Allowance For Credit Losses
Under IFRS 9, the Company using forward-looking indicators to determine the allowance for credit losses. The analysis performed by the Company looked at several factors including the rate of unemployment, used vehicle market conditions in the luxury automobile sector, comparative and general economic statistics including GDP, immigration statistics and housing values which may be early indicators that might indicate potential future credit losses. Despite the Company's historical performance, early indicators of an economic recession, uncertainties inherent in the COVID-19 pandemic, rising interest rates, and the elevated used vehicle market influenced the judgement applied in respect of modelling the Expected Credit Loss allowance.
The Company recognized a provision for credit losses of $18,614 during the three months ended July 31, 2025 and $nil for the three months ended July 31, 2024.

Property Under Operating Leases
The Company acts as a lessor in connection with operating leases and recognizes the leased assets in its statements of financial position. The lease payments received, are recognized in net income as rental revenue.
