Forward-Looking Statements

This Annual Report on Form 20-F contains statements that constitute forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are projections in respect of future events or our future financial performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as "may", "should", "intend", "expect", "plan", "anticipate", "believe", "estimate", "predict", "potential", or "continue" or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, including the risks in the section entitled "Risk Factors", uncertainties and other factors, which may cause our company's or our industry's actual results, levels of activity or performance to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity or performance expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements are based on the reasonable assumptions, estimates, analysis and opinions made in light of our experience and our perception of trends, current conditions and expected developments, as well as other factors that we believe to be relevant and reasonable in the circumstances at the date that such statements are made, but which may prove to be incorrect. Management believes that the assumption and expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable. Assumptions have been made regarding, among other things: the Company's ability to maintain projected production deliveries within certain timelines; expected expansion of the Company's production capacity; labor costs and material costs remaining consistent with the Company's current expectations; production of electric buses meeting customer expectations and at an expected cost; equipment operating as anticipated; there being no material variations in the current regulatory environment; the Company's ability to produce Buy America compliant vehicles; and the Company's ability to obtain financing as and when required and on reasonable terms. Readers are cautioned that the foregoing list is not exhaustive of all factors and assumptions which may have been used.

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 seen a re-opening of the economy, and a resumption of travel and sales activity, 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.

Such risks are discussed in Item 3.D "Risk Factors". In particular, without limiting the generality of the foregoing disclosure, the statements contained in Item 4.B - "Business Overview", Item 5 - "Operating and Financial Review and Prospects" and Item 11 - "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk" are inherently subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results, performance or achievements to differ significantly. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity or performance. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States and Canada, we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.

Risk Factors

An investment in our common shares involves a number of very significant risks. You should carefully consider the following risks and uncertainties in addition to other information in this annual report in evaluating our company and our business before making an investment decision about our company. Our business, operating results and financial condition could be seriously harmed as a result of the occurrence of any of the following risks. You could lose all or part of your investment due to any of these risks.

Risks Related to Our Business

The COVID-19 global pandemic has had and may continue to have, a material adverse impact on our business and financial condition

We have not reached profitability and currently have negative operating cash flows

For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022, we generated a loss of $15,049,333 bringing our accumulated deficit to $46,359,308.

We have historical annual revenue of less than $18 million and expect significant increases in costs and expenses as we invest in expanding our production and operations. Even if we are successful in increasing revenues from sales of our products, we may be unable to achieve positive cash flow or profitability for a number of reasons, including but not limited to, an inability to control production costs, increases in our selling general and administrative expenses, and a reduction in our product sales price due to competitive or other factors. An inability to generate positive cash flow and profitability until we reach a sufficient level of sales with positive gross margins that cover operating expenses, or an inability to raise additional capital on reasonable terms, will adversely affect our viability as an operating business.

We operate in a capital-intensive industry and will require a significant amount of capital to continue operations

If the revenue from the sale of our electric buses is not sufficient to cover our cash requirements, we will need to raise additional funds through the sale of equity or other securities, or the issuance of additional debt. Financing may not be available at terms that are acceptable to us, if at all.

Our ability to obtain the necessary financing for our business is subject to a number of factors, including general market conditions and investor acceptance of our business plan. These factors may make the timing, amount, terms and conditions of such financing unattractive or unavailable to us. If we are unable to raise sufficient funds, we will have to significantly reduce our spending, delay or cancel our planned activities, or substantially change our current operations and plans in order to reduce our cost structure. Our competitors, many of which have raised or who have access to significant capital, may be able to compete more effectively in our markets given their access to capital, if our access to capital does not improve or is further limited. We might not be able to obtain any funding, and we might not have sufficient resources to conduct our business as projected, both of which could mean that we would be forced to curtail or discontinue our operations.

Developments in alternative technologies or improvements in the internal combustion engine may materially adversely affect the demand for our electric vehicles

Significant developments in alternative technologies, such as advanced diesel, ethanol, fuel cells or compressed natural gas, or improvements in the fuel economy of the internal combustion engine, may materially and adversely affect our business and prospects in ways we do not currently anticipate. For example, fuel which is abundant and relatively inexpensive in North America, such as compressed natural gas, may emerge as consumers' preferred alternative to petroleum-based propulsion. Any failure by us to develop new or enhanced technologies or processes, or to react to changes in existing technologies, could materially delay our development and introduction of new and enhanced electric vehicles, which could result in the loss of competitiveness of our vehicles, decreased revenue and a loss of market share to competitors.

If we are unable to keep up with advances in electric vehicle technology, we may suffer a decline in our competitive position

We may be unable to keep up with changes in electric vehicle technology and, as a result, may suffer a decline in our competitive position. Any failure to keep up with advances in electric vehicle technology would result in a decline in our competitive position which would materially and adversely affect our business, prospects, operating results and financial condition. Our research and development efforts may not be sufficient to adapt to changes in electric vehicle technology. As technologies change we plan to upgrade or adapt our vehicles and introduce new models to continue to provide vehicles with the latest technology. However, our vehicles may not compete effectively with alternative vehicles if we are not able to source and integrate the latest technology into our vehicles at a competitive price. For example, we do not manufacture battery cells or drive motors which makes us dependent upon suppliers of these products for our vehicles.

The majority of our manufacturing is currently contracted out to third party manufacturers and we are dependent on these manufacturers to operate competitively

We currently contract out the majority of the manufacturing of our vehicles to third party manufacturers in Asia, with final assembly performed by our employees in North America. As a result, we are dependent on third party manufacturers to manufacture our vehicles according to our specifications and quality, at a competitive cost and within agreed upon timeframes. If our chosen manufacturing vendors are unable or unwilling to perform these functions then our financial results and reputation may suffer, which may prevent us from being able to continue as a going concern. In addition, we are subject to inherent risks involved in shipping our vehicles from these primary manufacturers to our facilities in North America. During the shipping process our vehicles are subject to theft, loss or damage due to a number of factors, some of which we may be unable to insure cost-effectively, if at all.

We may need to defend ourselves against intellectual property infringement claims, which may be time-consuming and could cause us to incur substantial costs.

Others, including our competitors, may hold or obtain patents, copyrights, trademarks or other proprietary rights that could prevent, limit or interfere with our ability to make, use, develop, sell or market our products and services, which could make it more difficult for us to operate our business. From time to time, the holders of such intellectual property rights may assert their rights and urge us to take licenses, and/or may bring suits alleging infringement or misappropriation of such rights. We may consider the entering into licensing agreements with respect to such rights, although no assurance can be given that such licenses can be obtained on acceptable terms or that litigation will not occur, and such licenses could significantly increase our operating expenses. In addition, if we are determined to have infringed upon a third party's intellectual property rights, we may be required to cease making, selling or incorporating certain components or intellectual property into the goods and services we offer, to pay substantial damages and/or license royalties, to redesign our products and services, and/or to establish and maintain alternative branding for our products and services. In the event that we were required to take one or more such actions, our business, prospects, operating results and financial condition could be materially adversely affected. In addition, any litigation or claims, whether or not valid, could result in substantial costs, negative publicity and diversion of resources and management attention.

We depend on certain key personnel, and our success will depend on our continued ability to retain and attract such qualified personnel

Our success depends on the efforts, abilities and continued service of our executive officers and management. A number of these key employees have significant experience in the electric vehicle industry, and valuable relationships with our suppliers, customers, and other industry participants. A loss of service from any one of these individuals may adversely affect our operations, and we may have difficulty or may be unable to locate and hire a suitable replacement. We have not obtained any "key person" insurance on any of our executives or managers.

We may in be involved in litigation or legal proceedings that are deemed to be material and may require recognition as a provision or a contingent liability on our financial statements.

We may in the future be involved in litigation or legal proceedings that are material and may require recognition as a provision or contingent liability on our financial statements. We have 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. We do not expect the outcome of either our claim, or the claims 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. However, we may in the future determine that these claims becomes material or we may be subject to other claims that alone or in addition to other claims are considered to be material, and require recognition as a provision or contingent liability on our financial statements.

We are subject to numerous environmental and health and safety laws and any breach of such laws may have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results

We are subject to numerous environmental and health and safety laws, including statutes, regulations, bylaws and other legal requirements. These laws relate to the generation, use, handling, storage, transportation and disposal of regulated substances, including hazardous substances (such as batteries), dangerous goods and waste, emissions or discharges into soil, water and air, including noise and odors (which could result in remediation obligations), and occupational health and safety matters, including indoor air quality. These legal requirements vary by location and can arise under federal, provincial, state or municipal laws. Any breach of such laws, regulations or requirements would have a material adverse effect on our company and its operating results.

Our vehicles are subject to motor vehicle standards and the failure to satisfy such mandated safety standards would have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results.

All vehicles sold must comply with federal, state and provincial motor vehicle safety standards. In both Canada and the United States vehicles that meet or exceed all federally mandated safety standards are certified under the federal regulations. In this regard, Canadian and U.S. motor vehicle safety standards are substantially the same. Rigorous testing and the use of approved materials and equipment are among the requirements for achieving federal certification. Failure by us to have our current or future electric vehicles satisfy motor vehicle standards would have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results.

If our vehicles fail to perform as expected, our ability to continue to develop, market and sell our electric vehicles could be harmed

Our vehicles may contain defects in design and manufacture that may cause them not to perform as expected or that may require repair. For example, our vehicles use technologically complex battery management software to operate. Given the inherent complexity of this software, it may contain defects and errors which would adversely impact the operation of our vehicles. While we have performed extensive testing of our vehicles, we currently have a limited frame of reference to evaluate the performance of our vehicles in the hands of our customers under a range of operating conditions.

We may not succeed in establishing, maintaining and strengthening the GreenPower brand, which would materially and adversely affect customer acceptance of our vehicles and components and our business, revenues and prospects.

Our business and prospects heavily depend on our ability to develop, maintain and strengthen the GreenPower brand. Any failure to develop, maintain and strengthen our brand may materially and adversely affect our ability to sell our planned electric vehicles. If we are not able to establish, maintain and strengthen our brand, we may lose the opportunity to expand our customer base. Promoting and positioning our brand will depend significantly on our ability to provide high quality electric vehicles and maintenance and repair services, and we have limited experience in these areas. In addition, we expect that our ability to develop, maintain and strengthen the GreenPower brand will also depend heavily on the success of our marketing efforts. To date we have limited experience with marketing activities as we have relied primarily on the internet, word of mouth and attendance at industry trade shows to promote our brand. To further promote our brand, we may be required to change our marketing practices, which could result in substantially increased advertising expenses. We operate in a competitive industry, and we may not be successful in building, maintaining and strengthening our brand. Many of our current and potential competitors, particularly automobile manufacturers headquartered in the United States, Japan and the European Union have greater name recognition, broader customer relationships and substantially greater marketing resources than we do. If we do not develop and maintain a strong brand, our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results will be materially and adversely impacted.

We are dependent on our suppliers, many of which are single-source suppliers, and the inability of these suppliers to deliver necessary components of our products according to our schedule and at prices, quality levels and volumes acceptable to us, or our inability to efficiently manage these components, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and operating results.

Our products contain numerous purchased parts which we source globally directly from suppliers, many of which are single-source suppliers, although we attempt to qualify and obtain components from multiple sources whenever feasible. Any significant increases in our production may require us to procure additional components in a short amount of time, and in the past we have also replaced certain suppliers because of their failure to provide components that met our quality control standards or our timing requirements. Many of our suppliers have either temporarily suspended their operations or scaled back their operations in order to comply with government and regulatory orders and to protect the health of their employees due to the COVID-19 global pandemic. With the ongoing vaccination efforts economies are gradually re-opening and activity is beginning to recover, though not at the same level as prior to the pandemic. If any of our single source suppliers is unable to deliver components to us there is no assurance that we will be able to secure additional or alternate sources of supply for our components or develop our own replacements in a timely manner, if at all. If we encounter unexpected difficulties with key suppliers, and if we are unable to fill these needs from other suppliers, we could experience production delays and potential loss of access to important technology and parts for producing, servicing and supporting our products.

This limited, and in many cases single source, supply chain exposes us to multiple potential sources of delivery failure or component shortages for production of our products. Furthermore, unexpected changes in business conditions, materials pricing, labor issues, wars, governmental changes, and natural disasters could also affect our suppliers' ability to deliver components to us on a timely basis. The loss of any single or limited source supplier or the disruption in the supply of components from these suppliers could lead to product design changes and delays in product deliveries to our customers, which could hurt our relationships with our customers and result in negative publicity, damage to our brand and a material and adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results.

Changes in our supply chain may lead to an increased cost for our products. We have also experienced cost increases from certain of our suppliers in order to meet our quality targets and timelines as well as due to our design changes, and we may experience similar cost increases in the future. Certain suppliers have sought to renegotiate the terms of supply arrangements. Additionally, we are negotiating with existing suppliers for cost reductions and are seeking new and less expensive suppliers for certain parts. If we are unsuccessful in our efforts to control and reduce supplier costs, our operating results will suffer.

There is no assurance that our suppliers will be able to sustainably and timely meet our cost, quality and volume needs. Furthermore, if the scale of our vehicle production increases, we will need to accurately forecast, purchase, warehouse and transport to our manufacturing facilities components at much higher volumes. If we are unable to accurately match the timing and quantities of component purchases to our actual needs, or successfully manage our inventory to accommodate the increased complexity in our supply chain, we may incur unexpected production disruption, storage, transportation and write-off costs, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and operating results.

The reduction or elimination of government and economic incentives, funding approval or the delay in the timing of advancing funding that has been approved, in particular in the state of California, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, operating results and prospects.

Any reduction, elimination or discriminatory application of government subsidies and economic incentives because of policy changes, the reduced need for such subsidies and incentives for electric vehicles may result in the diminished competitiveness of the alternative fuel vehicle industry generally or our electric vehicles in particular. This could materially and adversely affect the growth of the alternative fuel automobile markets and our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results.

Our vehicles are eligible for vouchers from specific government programs, including the Hybrid and Zero-Emission Truck and Bus Voucher Incentive Project ("HVIP") from the California Air Resources Board ("CARB") in partnership with Calstart, the New Jersey Zero-Emission Incentive program ("NJZIP"), the New York Truck Voucher Incentive Program ("NYTVIP"), Transport Canada - or the Specialty-Use Vehicle Incentive Program funded by the Province of British Columbia, Canada. The ability for potential purchasers to receive funding from these programs is subject to the risk of the programs being funded by governments, and the risk of the delay in the timing of advancing funds to the specific programs. To the extent that program funding is not approved, or if the funding is approved but timing of advancing of funds is delayed, subject to cancellation, or otherwise uncertain, this could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, operating results and prospects.

To date the vast majority of our electric vehicle sales have been in the state of California, in part due to subsidies and grants for electric vehicles and electric charging infrastructure available from the California state government. In some cases these grants or subsidies have covered the entire vehicle cost, and in many cases the grants or subsidies have reduced the net cost to our customers to a point that the vehicle is less expensive than purchasing a comparable diesel powered vehicle. The recent announcement from CARB that it is no longer accepting new applications to the HVIP program until new funding for the program is identified has negatively impacted new sales prospects for GreenPower buses in the state of California and any further reduction or elimination of the grants or incentives in the state of California would have a material negative impact on our business, financial condition, operating results and prospects.

If we fail to manage future growth effectively, we may not be able to market and sell our vehicles successfully.

Any failure to manage our growth effectively could materially and adversely affect our business, prospects, operating results and financial condition. We are expecting significant growth in sales, and are currently expanding our employees, facilities and infrastructure in order to accommodate this growth. Our future operating results depend to a large extent on our ability to manage this expansion and growth successfully. Risks that we face in undertaking this expansion include:

• training new personnel;

• forecasting production and revenue;

• controlling expenses and investments in anticipation of expanded operations;

• establishing or expanding manufacturing, sales and service facilities;

• implementing and enhancing administrative infrastructure, systems and processes;

• addressing new markets; and

• establishing international operations.

We intend to continue to hire a number of additional personnel, including manufacturing personnel and service technicians for our electric vehicles. There is significant competition for individuals with experience manufacturing and servicing electric vehicles, and we may not be able to attract, assimilate, train or retain additional highly qualified personnel in the future. The failure to attract, integrate, train, motivate and retain these additional employees could seriously harm our business and prospects.

Our business may be adversely affected by labor and union activities.

Although none of our employees are currently represented by a labor union, it is common throughout the automobile industry for employees to belong to a union. Having a unionized workforce may result in higher employee costs and increased risk of work stoppages. Additionally, we are in the process of expanding our in-house manufacturing capabilities and increasing the number of employees in this area. If our employees engaged in manufacturing were to unionize, this may increase our future production costs and negatively impact our gross margins and financial results.

We also directly and indirectly depend upon other companies with unionized work forces, such as parts suppliers and trucking and freight companies, and work stoppages or strikes organized by such unions could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition or operating results. If a work stoppage occurs within our business, or in one of our key suppliers, it could delay the manufacture and sale of our electric vehicles and have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, operating results and financial condition.

We may become subject to product liability or warranty claims, which could harm our financial condition and liquidity if we are not able to successfully defend or insure against such claims.

We may become subject to product liability or warranty claims, which could harm our business, prospects, operating results and financial condition. The automobile industry experiences significant product liability claims and we face inherent risk of exposure to claims in the event our vehicles do not perform as expected or malfunction resulting in personal injury or death. Our risks in this area are particularly pronounced given our vehicles have only been operating for a short period of time. A successful product liability claim against us could require us to pay a substantial monetary award. Moreover, a product liability claim could generate substantial negative publicity about our vehicles and business which would have a material adverse effect on our brand, business, prospects and operating results.

Global economic conditions could materially adversely impact demand for our products and services.

Our operations and performance depend significantly on economic conditions. The COVID-19 global pandemic and resulting government health regulations have resulted in significant reductions in global economic output and have negatively impacted global economic conditions. The ultimate impact and duration of current negative global economic conditions are highly uncertain. Uncertainty about global economic conditions could result in customers postponing purchases of our products and services in response to tighter credit, unemployment, negative financial news and/or declines in income or asset values and other macroeconomic factors, which could have a material negative effect on demand for our products and services and, accordingly, on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

The trade agreement with China includes tariffs on goods imported to the US from China, and these tariffs negatively impact our financial performance, financial position, and financial results

The United States and China signed a trade agreement in January 2020 after a trade war between the two countries that led to the implementation of tariffs on approximately $360 billion of Chinese imports to the United States. The trade agreement includes terms providing protection for intellectual property and includes a commitment from China to purchase goods and services from the United States, however the majority of the current tariffs on goods imported to the United States from China will remain in place under the trade agreement. GreenPower's buses include parts and components imported from China, and tariffs are applied to imports of these products to the United States. These tariffs have increased the cost of GreenPower's buses imported to the United States and have had and will continue to have a negative impact on our gross margins, profitability, financial performance and financial position. Any escalation of the tariffs on imported goods from China to the United States will cause further negative impacts to our gross margin, profitability, financial performance and financial position.

We rely on global shipping for our vehicles that are produced at contract manufacturers, and for certain parts and components sourced from our global network of suppliers. Over the past year the cost of shipping goods has increased and shipping availability has declined, and if these trends continue this may negatively impact our ability to deliver our vehicles to our customers on a timely basis, and increase our costs, which may negatively impact our financial results and ability to grow our business

Shipping costs have grown significantly since the fall of 2020 due to a number of factors, including imbalances in global trade and countries locking down and opening up at different times. As well, while global demand for shipping has increased strongly over the past year, shipping supply has not, and is not expected to increase until 2023 when newbuild ships are expected to deliver. Furthermore, shipping has been delayed due to port congestion, port closures, and vessel delays.

We rely on global shipping for vehicles that we produce at contract manufacturers, and for certain parts and components sourced from our global network of suppliers. We have experienced an increase in shipping costs and have experienced delays of deliveries of parts and components from our global suppliers, and on vehicles arriving from our contract manufacturers. While these delays and cost increases are not currently at a level that they have caused a material disruption or negative impact to our profitability, these delays and costs may increase to a point that they may negatively impact our financial results and ability to grow our business.

Our line of credit contains covenant restrictions that may limit our ability to access funds on the line of credit or engage in other commercial activities.

The terms of our line of credit contains, and future debt agreements we enter into may contain, covenant restrictions that limit our ability to incur additional debt or issue guarantees, create liens, and make certain dispositions of property or assets. As a result of these covenants, our ability to respond to changes in business and economic conditions and engage in beneficial transactions, including obtaining additional financing as needed, may be restricted. Furthermore, our failure to comply with our debt covenants could result in a default under our line of credit, which would permit the lender to demand repayment.

The demand for commercial zero-emission electric vehicles depends, in part, on the continuation of current trends resulting from historical dependence on fossil fuels. Extended periods of low diesel or other petroleum-based fuel prices could adversely affect demand for electric vehicles, which could adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results.

We believe that much of the present and projected demand for commercial zero-emission electric vehicles results from concerns about volatility in the cost of petroleum-based fuel, the dependency of the United States on oil from unstable or hostile countries, government regulations and economic incentives promoting fuel efficiency and alternative forms of energy, as well as the belief that poor air quality and climate change results in part from the burning of fossil fuels. If the cost of petroleum-based fuel decreased significantly, or the long-term supply of oil in the United States improved, the government may eliminate or modify its regulations or economic incentives related to fuel efficiency and alternative forms of energy. If there is a change in the perception that the burning of fossil fuels does not negatively impact the environment, the demand for commercial zero-emission electric vehicles could be reduced, and our business and revenue may be harmed. Diesel and other petroleum-based fuel prices have been extremely volatile, and we believe this continuing volatility will persist. Lower diesel or other petroleum-based fuel prices over extended periods of time may lower the current perception in government and the private sector that cheaper, more readily available energy alternatives should be developed and produced. If diesel or other petroleum-based fuel prices remain at deflated levels for extended periods of time, the demand for commercial electric vehicles may decrease, which could have an adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results.

We may be compelled to undertake product recalls.

Any product recall in the future may result in adverse publicity, damage to our brand and may adversely affect our business, prospects, operating results and financial condition. We may at various times, voluntarily or involuntarily, initiate a recall if any of our electric vehicle components prove to be defective. Such recalls, voluntary or involuntary, involve significant expense and diversion of management attention and other resources, which would adversely affect our brand image in our target markets and could adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

Security breaches and other disruptions to our information technology networks and systems could substantially interfere with our operations and could compromise the confidentiality of our proprietary information, notwithstanding the fact that no such breaches or disruptions have materially impacted us to date.

We rely upon information technology systems and networks, some of which are managed by third-parties, to process, transmit and store electronic information, and to manage or support a variety of business processes and activities, including supply chain management, manufacturing, invoicing and collection of payments from our customers. Additionally, we collect and store sensitive data, including intellectual property, proprietary business information, the proprietary business information of our suppliers, as well as personally identifiable information of our employees, in data centers and on information technology systems. The secure operation of these information technology systems, and the processing and maintenance of this information, is critical to our business operations and strategy. Despite security measures and business continuity plans, our information technology systems and networks may be vulnerable to damage, disruptions or shutdowns due to attacks by hackers or breaches due to errors or malfeasance by employees, contractors and others who have access to our networks and systems, or other disruptions during the process of upgrading or replacing computer software or hardware, hardware failures, software errors, third-party service provider outages, power outages, computer viruses, telecommunication or utility failures or natural disasters or other catastrophic events. The occurrence of any of these events could compromise our systems and the information stored there could be accessed, publicly disclosed, lost or stolen. Any such access, disclosure or other loss of information could result in legal claims or proceedings, liability or regulatory penalties under laws protecting the privacy of personal information, disrupt operations and reduce the competitive advantage we hope to derive from our investment in technology. Our insurance coverage may not be available or adequate to cover all the costs related to significant security attacks or disruptions resulting from such attacks.

Our electric vehicles make use of lithium-ion battery cells, which, if not appropriately managed and controlled, have occasionally been observed to catch fire or vent smoke and flames. If such events occur in our electric vehicles, we could face liability associated with our warranty, for damage or injury, adverse publicity and a potential safety recall, any of which would adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results.

The battery packs in our electric vehicles use lithium-ion cells, which have been used for years in laptop computers and cell phones. Highly publicized incidents of laptop computers and cell phones bursting into flames have focused consumer attention on the safety of these cells. These events also have raised questions about the suitability of these lithium-ion cells for automotive applications. There can be no assurance that a field failure of our battery packs will not occur, which would damage the vehicle or lead to personal injury or death and may subject us to lawsuits. Furthermore, there is some risk of electrocution if individuals who attempt to repair battery packs on our vehicles do not follow applicable maintenance and repair protocols. Any such damage or injury would likely lead to adverse publicity and potentially a safety recall. Any such adverse publicity could adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results.

Risks Related to Our Company

It may be difficult for non-Canadian investors to obtain and enforce judgments against us because of our Canadian incorporation and presence.

We are a corporation existing under the laws of British Columbia, Canada. Some of our directors and officers, and the experts named in this prospectus, are residents of Canada, and all or a substantial portion of their assets, and a substantial portion of our assets, are located outside the United States. Consequently, although we have appointed an agent for service of process in the United States, it may be difficult for holders of our common shares who reside in the United States to effect service within the United States upon our directors and officers and experts who are not residents of the United States. It may also be difficult for holders of our common shares who reside in the United States to realize in the United States upon judgments of courts of the United States predicated upon our civil liability and the civil liability of our directors, officers and experts under the United States federal securities laws. Investors should not assume that Canadian courts (i) would enforce judgments of United States courts obtained in actions against us or our directors, officers or experts predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the United States federal securities laws or the securities or "blue sky" laws of any state within the United States or (ii) would enforce, in original actions, liabilities against us or our directors, officers or experts predicated upon the United States federal securities laws or any such state securities or "blue sky" laws.

We are an "emerging growth company," and we cannot be certain if the reduced reporting requirements applicable to emerging growth companies will make our common shares less attractive to investors.

We are an "emerging growth company," as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the "JOBS Act". For as long as we continue to be an emerging growth company, we may take advantage of exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies, including not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and exemptions from the requirements of holding a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

We will cease to be an emerging growth company upon the earliest of:

• the last day of the fiscal year during which we have total annual gross revenues of $1,000,000,000 (as such amount is indexed for inflation every five years by the Securities and Exchange Commission or more);

• the last day of our fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the completion of our first sale of common equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933;

• the date on which we have, during the previous three-year period, issued more than $1,000,000,000 in non- convertible debt; or

• the date on which we are deemed to be a "large accelerated filer", as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

We cannot predict if investors will find our common shares less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our common shares less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common shares and our share price may be more volatile.

As a foreign private issuer, we are not subject to certain United States securities law disclosure requirements that apply to a domestic United States issuer, which may limit the information that would be publicly available to our shareholders.

As a foreign private issuer, we will be exempt from certain rules under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that impose disclosure requirements as well as procedural requirements for proxy solicitations under Section 14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 if our common shares are registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In addition, our officers, directors and principal shareholders will be exempt from the reporting and "short-swing" profit recovery provisions of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 if our common shares are registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Moreover, we are not required to file periodic reports and financial statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission as frequently or as promptly as a company that files as a U.S. domestic issuer whose securities are registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, nor are we generally required to comply with the Securities and Exchange Commission's Regulation FD, which restricts the selective disclosure of material non-public information. For as long as we are a "foreign private issuer" we intend to file our annual financial statements on Form 20-F and furnish our quarterly updates on Form 6-K to the Securities and Exchange Commission for so long as we are subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13(g) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. However, the information we file or furnish is not the same as the information that is required in annual and quarterly reports on Form 10-K or Form 10-Q for U.S. domestic issuers. Accordingly, there may be less information publicly available concerning us than there is for a company that files as a U.S. domestic issuer.

Our shareholders approved a shareholder rights plan which may be implemented by management and may impede a change in control

Our shareholders approved a shareholder rights plan which has not been implemented by management, but which, if implemented, may impede a change in control. The shareholder rights plan provides for the issuance of one right for each common share of the company outstanding, and the rights become separable and exercisable upon the receipt of a take-over bid or similar proposal other than those meeting certain conditions or those that are exempted by our board of directors. The potential for the rights becoming separable and exercisable may have the effect of impeding a change of control of the company.

Risks Related to Our Common Shares

Because we can issue additional common shares or preferred shares, our shareholders may experience dilution in the future.

We are authorized to issue an unlimited number of common shares without par value and an unlimited number of preferred shares without par value. Our board of directors has the authority to cause us to issue additional common shares or preferred shares and to determine the special rights and restrictions of the shares of one or more series of our preferred shares, without consent of our shareholders. The issuance of any such securities may result in a reduction of the book value or market price of our common shares. Given the fact that we have not achieved profitability or generated positive cash flow historically, and we operate in a capital intensive industry with significant working capital requirements, we may be required to issue additional common equity or securities that are dilutive to existing common shares in the future in order to continue its operations. Our efforts to fund our intended business plan may result in dilution to existing shareholders. Further, any such issuances could result in a change of control or a reduction in the market price for our common shares.

The market price of our common shares may be volatile and may fluctuate in a way that is disproportionate to our operating performance.

Our common shares are quoted on Nasdaq and listed on the TSXV. Trading of shares on Nasdaq or TSXV is often characterized by wide fluctuations in trading prices, due to many factors that may have little to do with our operations or business prospects.

The price of our common shares has fluctuated significantly. This volatility could depress the market price of our common shares for reasons unrelated to operating performance. The market price of our common shares could decline due to the impact of any of the following factors upon the market price of our common shares:

sales or potential sales of substantial amounts of our common shares;
announcements about us or about our competitors;
litigation and other developments relating to our company or those of our suppliers or our competitors;
conditions in the automobile industry;
governmental regulation and legislation;
variations in our anticipated or actual operating results;
change in securities analysts' estimates of our performance, or our failure to meet analysts' expectations;
change in general economic conditions or trends;
changes in capital market conditions or in the level of interest rates; and
investor perception of our industry or our prospects.

Many of these factors are beyond our control. The stock markets in general, and the market price of common shares of vehicle companies in particular, have historically experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations. These fluctuations often have been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of these companies. These broad market and industry factors could reduce the market price of our common shares, regardless of our actual operating performance.

A prolonged and substantial decline in the price of our common shares could affect our ability to raise further working capital, thereby adversely impacting our ability to continue operations.

A prolonged and substantial decline in the price of our common shares could result in a reduction in the liquidity of our common shares and a reduction in our ability to raise capital. Because we plan to acquire a significant portion of the funds we need in order to conduct our planned operations through the sale of equity securities, a decline in the price of our common shares could be detrimental to our liquidity and our operations because the decline may cause investors not to choose to invest in our shares. If we are unable to raise the funds we require for all our planned operations and to meet our existing and future financial obligations, we may be forced to reallocate funds from other planned uses and may suffer a significant negative effect on our business plan and operations, including our ability to develop new products and continue our current operations. As a result, our business may suffer, and we may go out of business.

Because we do not intend to pay any cash dividends on our common shares in the near future, our shareholders will not be able to receive a return on their shares unless they sell them.

We intend to retain any future earnings to finance the development and expansion of our business. We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common shares in the near future. The declaration, payment and amount of any future dividends will be made at the discretion of our board of directors, and will depend upon, among other things, the results of operations, cash flows and financial condition, operating and capital requirements, and other factors as the board of directors considers relevant. There is no assurance that future dividends will be paid, and if dividends are paid, there is no assurance with respect to the amount of any such dividend. Unless we pay dividends, our shareholders will not be able to receive a return on their shares unless they sell them.

We may be classified as a "passive foreign investment company," which may have adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences for U.S. shareholders.

Generally, for any taxable year in which 75% or more of our gross income is passive income, or at least 50% of the average quarterly value of our assets (which may be determined in part by the market value of our common shares, which is subject to change) are held for the production of, or produce, passive income, we would be characterized as a passive foreign investment company ("PFIC") for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Our status as a PFIC is a fact-intensive determination made on an annual basis, and we cannot provide any assurance regarding our PFIC status for the taxable year ending March 31, 2022 or for future taxable years.

If we are a PFIC for any year during a non-corporate U.S. shareholder's holding period of our common shares, then such non-corporate U.S. shareholder generally will be required to treat any gain realized upon a disposition of our common shares, or any so-called "excess distribution" received on our common shares, as ordinary income, rather than as capital gain, and the preferential tax rate applicable to dividends received on our common shares would not be available. Interest charges would also be added to the taxes on gains and distributions realized by all U.S. holders.

A U.S. shareholder may avoid these adverse tax consequences by making a timely and effective "qualified electing fund" election ("QEF election"). A U.S. shareholder who makes a QEF election generally must report, on a current basis, its share of our ordinary earnings and net capital gains, whether or not we distribute any amounts to our shareholders. The QEF election is available only if our company characterized as a PFIC provides a U.S. shareholder with certain information regarding its earnings and capital gains as required under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations. In the event we become a PFIC, U.S. Holders should be aware that we might not satisfy the recordkeeping requirements that apply to a QEF or supply U.S. Holders with information such U.S. Holders require to report under the QEF rules in the event that our company is a PFIC for any tax year.

A U.S. shareholder may also mitigate the adverse tax consequences by timely making a mark-to-market election. A U.S. shareholder who makes the mark-to-market election generally must include as ordinary income each year the increase in the fair market value of the common shares and deduct from gross income the decrease in the value of such shares during each of its taxable years. A mark-to-market election may be made and maintained only if our common shares are regularly traded on a qualified exchange, including Nasdaq. Whether our common shares are regularly traded on a qualified exchange is an annual determination based on facts that, in part, are beyond our control. Accordingly, a U.S. shareholder might not be eligible to make a mark-to-market election to mitigate the adverse tax consequences if we are characterized as a PFIC.

Each U.S. shareholder should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the possibility of making these elections and the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of our common shares. In addition, our PFIC status may deter certain U.S. investors from purchasing our common shares, which could have an adverse impact on the market price of our common shares.

A. History and Development of Our Company

Our company was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) on March 30, 2010 as "Oakmont Capital Corp." Oakmont Capital Corp.'s authorized capital consisted of an unlimited number of common and preferred shares. On June 17, 2011, Oakmont Capital Corp. completed an initial public offering of 4,000,000 common shares for gross proceeds of CDN$400,000 and the Oakmont Capital Corp. shares began trading on the TSX Venture Exchange on June 21, 2011 under the symbol "OMK.P". Prior to completing its Qualifying Transaction (as defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange), Oakmont Capital Corp. was a capital pool company listed for trading on the TSX Venture Exchange in Canada. A capital pool company is a company with no assets other than cash and no commercial operations. The capital pool company uses its funds to seek out an investment opportunity.

On October 25, 2012, Oakmont Capital Corp. entered into a share exchange agreement with 0939181 B.C. Ltd., pursuant to which Oakmont Capital Corp. agreed to acquire 0939181 B.C. Ltd., which would constitute Oakmont Capital Corp.'s Qualifying Transaction. On July 3, 2013, the TSX Venture Exchange accepted Oakmont Capital Corp.'s Qualifying Transaction. Oakmont Capital Corp. then became a Tier 2 Mining Issuer on the TSX Venture Exchange. On July 3, 2013, Oakmont Capital Corp. also changed its name to "Oakmont Minerals Corp." The common shares of Oakmont Minerals Corp. began trading on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol "OMK" on July 8, 2013. Oakmont Minerals Corp. was then a natural resource company engaged in the acquisition and exploration of resource properties, with its focus on the Utah Manganese Properties, which included four separate properties (known as Duma Point, Dubinky Well, Moab Fault and Flat Iron) consisting of 150 mineral claims totaling 1,250 hectares held 100% by Utah Manganese Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of 0939181 B.C. Ltd. Oakmont Minerals corp. was engaged in the exploration of the Utah Manganese Properties to determine the presence of geo-chemical characteristics that could support small-to-medium scale extraction of minerals suitable for use in specialty high strength steel production. Oakmont Minerals Corp. remained in the exploration stage and did not generate revenues or income from operations.

On December 23, 2014, 0999314 B.C. Ltd., a British Columbia corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Oakmont Minerals Corp. completed an amalgamation with GreenPower Motor Company Inc., a British Columbia corporation, pursuant to an amalgamation agreement between Oakmont Minerals Corp., 0999314 B.C. Ltd., and GreenPower Motor Company Inc. dated April 14, 2014. The amalgamated company (with the name "0999314 B.C. Ltd.") became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Oakmont Minerals Corp. and Oakmont Minerals Corp. changed its name to "GreenPower Motor Company Inc." and the common shares of GreenPower Motor Company Inc. (formerly Oakmont Minerals Corp.) were consolidated on the basis of two pre-consolidation shares for each post-consolidation share. And our common shares began trading under the symbol "GPV" on the TSX Venture Exchange effective December 30, 2014. For accounting purposes, this amalgamation was considered a reverse take-over whereby GreenPower Motor Company Inc. was considered the acquiring company of Oakmont Minerals Corp. Subsequent to the completion of the amalgamation, the business of GreenPower Motor Company Inc. became the business of the amalgamated company.

Prior to the amalgamation on December 23, 2014, GreenPower Motor Company Inc., the acquiring company of Oakmont Minerals Corp. for accounting purposes, was incorporated on September 18, 2007 as "Blackrock Resources Ltd." under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia), with an authorized share structure of unlimited number of common shares and preferred shares without par value. Pursuant to share purchase agreements dated September 30, 2013, Blackrock Resources Ltd. completed a reverse takeover transaction with GP GreenPower Industries Inc., whereby it acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of GP GreenPower Industries Inc. in exchange for the issuance of 47,534,402 common shares of Blackrock Resources Ltd. In connection with the reverse takeover transaction with GP GreenPower Industries Inc., Blackrock Resources Ltd. changed its name from "Blackrock Resources Ltd." to its then name, "GreenPower Motor Company Inc.", on July 22, 2013.

In May 2015, our common shares were approved for trading on the OTCQB in the United States under the trading symbol "GPVRF".

In November 2015, we entered into a letter of intent with the Greater Victoria Harbour Authority and CVS Cruise Victoria Ltd. to lease our EV 550 double decker buses, which were delivered to CVS Cruise Victoria Ltd. in February 2018. By mid-2016, our company was offering a suite of transit buses ranging in length from 30 feet to 45 feet, a 45-foot coach bus, a 45-foot double decker, and a school bus.

In December 2016, we announced that the California Air Resources Board had awarded $9.5 million to the City of Porterville to deploy 10 GreenPower EV 350 40-foot transit buses and to install 11 charging stations on its transit routes. Two EV 350 buses were delivered to the City of Porterville in the year ended March 31, 2018, and another 6 buses were delivered in the year ended March 31, 2019. The 9th bus was delivered during the quarter ended June 30, 2019 and the final bus was delivered to the City of Porterville during the quarter ended September 30, 2019.

In June 2018, our company appointed Creative Bus Sales as our exclusive sales agent. Creative Bus Sales is the largest bus dealer in the United States, with 18 physical locations, a 75-person sales team and more than 200 service and support staff. Upon the expiry of this contract in 2021 it was not renewed. In June 2022 GreenPower entered into a dealership agreement with CBS under which they are the exclusive dealer of GreenPower BEAST Type D and Nano BEAST Type A school buses in the state of California.

During the year ended March 31, 2019, we delivered 14 buses to customers, pursuant to vehicle leases and vehicle sales. The customers were all located in the state of California, and include Sacramento Regional Transit, the University of California San Francisco, the Port of Oakland, Airline Coach Services and the City of Porterville. On November 14, 2018, Utah Manganese Inc., the wholly-owned subsidiary of 0939181 B.C. Ltd., the company with which Oakmont Capital Corp. effected its Qualifying Transaction in 2013, changed its name from "Utah Manganese Inc." to "San Joaquin Valley Equipment Leasing Inc." and San Joaquin Valley Equipment Leasing Inc. is now used by GreenPower Motor Company Inc. to enter into lease agreements to lease its buses.

During the year ended March 31, 2020, we completed and delivered a total of 68 buses, including 62 EV Stars, 4 Synapse school buses, and 2 EV 350s. Of this total, the Company provided lease financing for 24 EV Stars, 2 with San Diego Airport Parking, and 22 with Green Commuter. Beginning in March 2020, GreenPower's business and operations began adapting in response to the COVID-19 global pandemic. As an essential business manufacturing on behalf of the transit industry, we maintained production, although at reduced levels compared to prior to the pandemic. Some of our suppliers and contract manufacturers temporarily suspended or reduced their production levels, and our internal staffing levels in production were temporarily reduced in order to comply with government regulations and maintain physical distancing in order to protect the health of our staff, customers and other stakeholders. While we were able to maintain sales and production during this period, we did so at a reduced rate in order to comply with physical distancing requirements and government health regulations.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020 GreenPower entered into agreements with Momentum Dynamics ("Momentum") to integrate wireless charging into the EV Star and with Perrone Robotics ("Perrone") to build a fully autonomous EV Star for the transit market. GreenPower has agreed to collaborate with Momentum and separately with Perrone to integrate their components, software and technology on an EV Star, and to work with these companies on sales of EV Stars that have integrated their respective technologies. Both parties have agreed to provide technical support and training in order to integrate the technology and provide after sales support to potential customers.

During April 2020 GreenPower received the final report for the EV Star's Federal Transit Bus Test performed for the Federal Transit Administration at the Altoona Bus Testing site at Penn State University. This tests the maintainability, reliability, safety and performance of transit vehicles, and is required by the FTA for transit properties looking to purchase vehicles with federal funds. The EV Star passed the Altoona Test with an overall score of 92.2 which, as of the date of the test, makes the EV Star the highest scoring medium or heavy-duty vehicle that has completed the Altoona test, and the only all-electric Class 4 vehicle to have passed the Altoona test. Management believes the combination of Altoona certification and the ability to manufacture a Buy America compliant vehicle offer significant competitive advantages to GreenPower in successfully deploying vehicles to transit authorities based in the US.

During the year ended March 31, 2021, the Company delivered a total of 74 buses, including 35 EV Stars and 5 EV 250s for which the Company provided lease financing, 30 EV Stars that had previously been on lease and whose leases were cancelled and the vehicles subsequently sold, and the sale of 1 Synapse school bus, 1 EV Star Cargo Plus, 1 EV Star Plus, and 1 EV Star. Included in the 30 EV Stars that had previously been on lease and whose leases were cancelled and the vehicles subsequently sold were 13 EV Stars where the leases were originally entered into during the year ended March 31, 2020.

As part of this partnership the state will provide worker training and hiring support, up to $3.5 million in employment incentive payments in exchange for meeting hiring targets, and has agreed to purchase up to $15 million of GreenPower vehicles produced at the facility. In February 2022 GreenPower signed a contract to sell 1,500 EV Star CC’s to Workhorse Group, Inc. which they will use to produce Workhorse branded panel vans for the North American market.

Throughout the year ended March 31, 2022, there were a number of notable firsts for GreenPower. We were recognized by the NJ ZIP program as the first OEM dealer to apply for a voucher redemption in the state. GreenPower has been actively pursuing sales in New Jersey and has seen significant demand in the state for its 22-foot cargo van, which was its first sale of this new product. In addition, GreenPower launched the Nano-BEAST, which is GreenPower's new all-electric Type A school bus and has seen significant interest in the product from a number of recent events.

During July 2022 GreenPower closed an asset purchase agreement under which GreenPower purchased certain assets of Lion Truck Body. The purchase price was comprised of upfront cash payments totaling $215,000, the assumption of certain liabilities totaling $1.45 million, and remaining cash payments of up to $25,000, which remain subject to customary adjustments and other post-closing conditions.

The principal capital expenditures of our company have been investments in a 9.3 acre parcel of land in the City of Porterville with a carrying value of approximately $800,000 as at March 31, 2022, and in electric buses and EV equipment with a carrying value of $2.1 million as at March 31, 2022. To date, our principal capital expenditures have been funded with capital which has been sourced from our company's sale of common shares, convertible debentures, warrants, proceeds from the exercise of warrants and options for common shares, loans from related parties, and from our company's $8 million operating credit line with the Bank of Montreal.

There have been no indications of any public takeover offers by third parties in respect of our company's shares or by our company in respect of other companies' shares which have occurred during the last and current financial year.

EV Transit Bus Line

Launched in 2014, our EV battery-electric transit bus line features multiple models that include the 30-ft EV250, the 40-ft EV350, and the double decker EV550. Our electric buses do not have heavy battery storage or battery charging systems on the roof of the bus which enhances the user experience due to the bus's low center of gravity for steering and maneuvering around corners. This design also offers ease-of-access for maintenance due to the low positioned stainless-steel battery trays that can be accessed without removing panels or the use of elaborate hoist systems to maintain the battery boxes.

EV250

The EV250 is our battery-electric 30-ft low floor transit bus with a passenger capacity of 26 seats plus standees. It features a monocoque body with a stainless-steel chassis, a GreenPower battery management system, and component integration with quality global suppliers. The EV250 features a Siemens ELFA traction motor, a 260-kWh battery capacity, and a range of up to 160 miles on a single charge. It is designed to charge using SAE standard chargers that are readily available on the open market and capable of CCS ultra-fast charging.

EV350

The EV350 is our battery-electric 40-ft low floor transit bus with a passenger capacity of 40 seats plus standees. It features a monocoque body with a stainless-steel chassis, a GreenPower battery management system, and component integration with quality global suppliers. The EV350 features a Siemens ELFA traction motor, battery capacity of up to 400 kwh, and a range of up to 212 miles on a single charge.

It is designed to charge using SAE standard chargers that are readily available on the open market and capable of CCS ultra-fast charging.

BEAST Type-D and Nano-BEAST Type A School Bus

GreenPower's Type-D School Bus and Nano-BEAST Type A School Bus are marketed under the trade name Battery Electric Automotive School Transportation, or the BEAST, features a clean sheet build that was designed from the ground-up around its electric drive and battery systems. The body and chassis are integrated together to form the composite monocoque structure which provides the benefits of increased strength and a significant weight advantage in comparison to other school buses. Additionally, the design is not limited to the inner frame rails like conventional "body on chassis" school buses which allows for the maximization of interior space.

The GreenPower BEAST is offered in a 40-ft 90 passenger design that features a flat tracked floor that gives the end-user complete seating customization that can be modified with ease. The tracked flooring also allows the end-user to customize how many wheelchair positions are located on the bus and their location. Standard features include vehicle control stability, air ride suspension, and ABS brakes. With the 193.5-kWh advanced battery system, the BEAST has a reliable range of up to 150 miles on a single charge. This is paired with a state of the art TM4 electric drivetrain that is rated maintenance free for one million kilometers. The standard J1772 Level 2 charging of the BEAST will fully charge the electric school bus in under 7 hours.

Technology

Batteries

The battery pack is a key component with the design, development, and manufacture of advanced electric-vehicle powertrains. Where some other electric vehicle ("EV") manufacturers build their own battery packs we purchase the batteries in a plug-and-play pack from our designs. This provides us with the flexibility to use different cell manufacturers with different battery chemistries. We believe that the underlying battery cells are a commodity and consequently have designed our products to take full advantage of the best batteries that are available at the time we manufacture our products. The performance of EV battery technology has improved dramatically over the past ten years while at the same time the cost of this key component has declined.

Powertrains

Our powertrains encompass the complete motor assemblies, computers, and software required for vehicle electrification. We use off-the-shelf proven components such as Siemens for the drive motors for our low floor transit buses and TM4 for our EV Stars or BEAST school buses.

Telematics

The telematics system and associated hardware installed in almost all of our vehicles is designed to monitor the controller area network traffic for specific signals. These signals are uploaded along with GPS data to a server facility. The real-time data is stored in a database as it arrives and delivers updates to clients connected through the web interface. The information transmitted to the cloud and stored onboard the vehicle include: vehicle location, vehicle speed, vehicle energy usage, the amount of charge remaining in the battery, vehicle range, general status of the health of vehicle systems, using onboard diagnostics and driver habits monitoring.

Locations and Facilities

Our primary production and assembly facility is located at 90 W Poplar, Porterville, California. We occupy a 50,000 sq. ft. facility that is used for the production, assembly, maintenance and service of our products. We also have additional space with approximately 20,000 sq. ft. that we use for production and includes offices at 2011 Wildcat Way in Porterville, California.

Our U.S. operations, sales and marketing office is located at 8885 Haven Avenue, Rancho Cucamonga, California.

Our corporate office is located at Suite #240 - 209 Carrall Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

Marketing

Our sales team is focused on the goal of securing purchase orders from commercial transportation companies, transit properties, government agencies and school districts. We also maintain a network of dealers across our core markets in the US.

Our priority is to generate customers across all of the sectors we are targeting including transit, shuttle, schools, government and commercial. Our current core products are the six models under our EV Star platform, and our two models of all-electric school buses, being the Type D BEAST and the TYPE A Nano BEAST. Our sales plan is to meet with the top potential customers and obtain purchase orders for new electric vehicles for their production vehicle requirements.

Strategic Relationships

GreenPower maintains a dealer network across the United States. During the year ended March 31, 2022 we signed dealership agreements that will expand GreenPower's sales footprint into new territories including the states of Arizona, Nevada, and Washington State, New Jersey, NY State, and several specialized dealership relationships in the state of California. This expansion continues with dealer agreements in process covering BEAST, Nano BEAST and EV Stars in over 10 additional states with multiple dealer relationships in larger markets. Secondly, GreenPower completed a significant partnership with the state of West Virginia, under which GreenPower entered into a lease purchase agreement with the state for an 80,000 square foot facility on six acres of land to manufacture all-electric school buses for the US market. As part of this partnership the state will provide worker training and hiring support, up to $3.5 million in employment incentive payments in exchange for meeting hiring targets and has agreed to purchase up to $15 million of GreenPower vehicles produced at the facility. Finally, GreenPower signed a contract to sell 1,500 EV Star CC's to Workhorse which they will use to produce Workhorse branded panel vans for the North American market.

We have agreed to work with Momentum to integrate wireless charging into the EV Star. Any sales of EV Stars that incorporate Momentum's wireless technology will be done collaboratively with GreenPower and Momentum. We are also working with Perrone to build a fully autonomous EV Star for the transit market. Any sales of EV Stars that incorporate Perrone's wireless technology will be done collaboratively with GreenPower and Perrone. In December of 2020, we announced that an autonomous EV Star developed with Perrone was delivered to the Jacksonville Transit Authority to undergo testing for transit applications.

Research and Development

The majority of our research and development is conducted in-house. Additionally, we contract with engineering firms to assist with validation and certification requirements as well as specific vehicle integration tasks. GreenPower's engineers intend to work with Momentum to integrate Momentum's wireless charging technology into the EV Star and with Perrone to build a fully autonomous EV Star for the transit market using Perrone's autonomous vehicle technology.

Competitive Companies

Competition varies by sector with EV manufacturers that solely offer all-electric buses (such as BYD, Proterra or Lion) or traditional manufacturers of heavy-duty buses who are entering the market with all-electric buses (such as New Flyer or Blue Bird). In addition, companies such as Workhorse (Nasdaq: WKHS), Chanje, Lightning and XOS are competing with GreenPower in the commercial cargo and delivery van market. We compete with Motiv in the OEM electric cab and chassis market, and GreenPower is the only company that offers a purpose built electric cab and chassis as opposed to a gasoline or diesel cab and chassis that has been converted to an electric cab and chassis.

Some of the key differences between our company and many of our competitors in the heavy-duty bus market is that we use a clean sheet design to offer customers purpose-built solutions. Many of our competitors use an existing layout and then determine where to place the batteries or the drive motor or in some cases retrofit an existing design and build. Several of GreenPower's competitors have raised significantly more capital than GreenPower and have access to capital well in excess of the current financial resources of GreenPower.

We believe that the primary competitive factors within the medium and heavy-duty commercial vehicle market are:

• the difference in the initial purchase prices of electric vehicles and comparable vehicles powered by internal combustion engines, both including and excluding the impact of government and other subsidies and incentives designed to promote the purchase of electric vehicles;

• the total cost of vehicle ownership over the vehicle's expected life, which includes the initial purchase price and ongoing fuel, operational and maintenance costs;

• vehicle quality, performance and safety;

• access to capital in order to fund the ongoing working capital requirements and growth of the business;

• government regulations and economic incentives promoting fuel efficiency and alternate forms of energy; and

• the quality and availability of service and parts for the vehicle.

Government Regulation

Our electric vehicles are designed to comply with a significant number of governmental regulations and industry standards in Canada and the United States, some of which are evolving as new technologies are deployed. Government regulations regarding the manufacture, sale and implementation of products and systems similar to our electric vehicles are subject to future change. We cannot predict what impact, if any, such changes may have upon our business.

Emission and fuel economy standards

California legislature has adopted a zero-emission bus program for all California public transit properties called the Innovative Clean Transit Regulation (ICT). The ICT regulation was adopted in December 2018 and requires all public transit agencies to gradually transition to a 100 percent zero-emission bus (ZEB) fleet. Beginning in 2029, 100% of new purchases by transit agencies must be ZEBs, with a goal for full transition by 2040. It applies to all transit agencies that own, operate, or lease buses with a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) greater than 14,000 lbs. It includes standard, articulated, over-the-road, double-decker, and cutaway buses.

On June 27, 2019, the California Air Resources Board ("CARB") approved a rule that will require fixed route airport shuttles serving the state's 13 largest airports to transition to 100 percent zero-emission vehicles by 2035. The regulation affects public and private fleets, including parking facilities, rental car agencies and hotels. This applies to about 1000 Buses and Shuttles.

On September 23, 2020 California Governor Newsom announced an executive order that requires that by 2035 all new cars and passenger trucks sold in California must be zero-emission vehicles and announced that the Air Resources Board will develop regulations requiring that require that by 2045 all operations of medium and heavy duty vehicles shall be zero-emission vehicles, and during the year the Air Resources Board approved new regulations that requires truck manufacturers to transition to electric zero-emission trucks by 2024.

Government regulation related to climate change is in effect at the U.S. federal and state levels. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration ("NHTSA") issued a final rule for greenhouse gas emissions and fuel economy requirements for trucks and heavy-duty engines on August 9, 2011, which is applicable in model years 2018 through 2020. NHTSA and EPA also issued a final rule on August 16, 2016 increasing the stringency of these standards for model years 2021 through 2027.

The rules provide emission standards for CO2 and fuel consumption standards for three main categories of vehicles: (i) combination tractors, (ii) heavy-duty pickup trucks and vans and (iii) vocational vehicles. We believe that our buses and EV Star Cargo Van would be considered "vocational vehicles" and "heavy-duty pickup trucks and vans" under the rules. According to the EPA and NHTSA, vocational vehicles consist of a wide variety of truck and bus types, including delivery, refuse, utility, dump, cement, transit bus, shuttle bus, school bus, emergency vehicles, motor homes and tow trucks, and are characterized by a complex build process, with an incomplete chassis often built with an engine and transmission purchased from other manufacturers, then sold to a body manufacturer.

The Clean Air Act requires that we obtain a Certificate of Conformity issued by the EPA and a California Executive Order issued by the CARB with respect to emissions for our vehicles. The Certificate of Conformity is required for vehicles sold in states covered by the Clean Air Act's standards and the Executive Order is required for vehicles sold in states that have sought and received a waiver from the EPA to utilize California standards. The California standards for emissions control for certain regulated pollutants for new vehicles and engines sold in California are set by CARB. States that have adopted the California standards as approved by EPA also recognize the Executive Order for sales of vehicles.

Manufacturers who sell vehicles in states covered by federal requirements under the Clean Air Act without a Certificate of Conformity may be subject to penalties of up to $44,539 per violation and be required to recall and remedy any vehicles sold with emissions in excess of Clean Air Act standards.

Vehicle safety and testing

The National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1966 (the "Safety Act") regulates motor vehicles and motor vehicle equipment in the United States in two primary ways. First, the Safety Act prohibits the sale in the United States of any new vehicle or equipment that does not conform to applicable motor vehicle safety standards established by NHTSA. Meeting or exceeding many safety standards is costly, in part because the standards tend to conflict with the need to reduce vehicle weight in order to meet emissions and fuel economy standards. Second, the Safety Act requires that defects related to motor vehicle safety be remedied through safety recall campaigns. A manufacturer is obligated to recall vehicles if it determines that the vehicles do not comply with a safety standard. Should we or NHTSA determine that either a safety defect or noncompliance exists with respect to any of our vehicles, the cost of such recall campaigns could be substantial.

There is a body of legislation that requires that new model buses be tested before they can be purchased with funds from the US Federal Transportation Authority ("FTA"), and that defines the required testing and provides funding for these federally mandated tests. This legislation includes The Surface Transportation and Uniform Relocation Assistance Act of 1987, Section 317: Bus Testing; the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991; the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (Public Law 105-178); and the Fixing America's Surface Transportation ("FAST") Act. The Larson Transportation Institute's Bus Research and Testing Center, located in Altoona, Pennsylvania is a federally funded bus testing site that administers the required bus tests, covering areas including safety, structural integrity, durability, performance, maintainability, noise, and fuel economy. GreenPower's EV Star completed the Altoona Test in April 2020, and received an overall score of 92.2, which is one of the highest scores ever for a medium-duty bus.

Battery safety and testing

Our battery pack configurations are designed to conform to mandatory regulations that govern transport of "dangerous goods," which includes lithium-ion batteries, which may present a risk in transportation. The governing regulations, which are issued by the Pipeline and Hazardous Safety Administration and are based on the UN Recommendations on the Safe Transport of Dangerous Goods Model Regulations, and related UN Manual of Tests and Criteria. The requirements for shipments of these goods vary by mode of transportation, such as ocean vessel, rail, truck and air.

Vehicle dealer and distribution regulation

Certain states' laws require motor vehicle manufacturers and dealers to be licensed in such states in order to conduct manufacturing and sales activities. To date, we are registered as a motor vehicle manufacturer in California and as a dealer in California. We have sold and intend to continue to sell, vehicles in other states both directly and through licensed dealers across the US.

Legal Proceedings

We are not involved in, or aware of, any legal or administrative proceedings contemplated or threatened by any governmental authority or any other party that is likely to have a material adverse effect on our business. As of the date of this Annual 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 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.

Plan of Operations

As of March 31, 2022 we had a cash and restricted cash balance of $6.9 million, working capital of $31.6 million, total assets of $49.6 million, total liabilities of $15.2 million, and an operating line of credit with a credit limit of up to $8 million, subject to margining requirements, with a drawn balance of $5.8 million as at March 31, 2022.

We are currently producing our various models of EV Stars with contract manufacturers in Asia, with final assembly in Porterville. We are set up for complete vehicle assembly at our facility in Porterville and are currently manufacturing 4 Buy America EV Stars in Porterville for a transit customer. We received the final report from the federally sponsored Altoona testing of our EV Star in April 2020. This structural and durability test, along with Buy America manufacturing capabilities, is required for the use of Federal Transit Administration funding. GreenPower's EV Star is the only Class 4 all-electric vehicle that has passed Altoona testing, and received one of the highest Altoona testing score of any medium and heavy-duty vehicle of any type.

Our current leased facilities in Porterville are sufficient for our current level of production of EV Stars and school buses to be sold in California. Our company owns a 9.3 acre parcel of land in the City of Porterville, which we are in the process of selling. GreenPower has entered into a lease purchase agreement with the state of West Virginia for an 80,000 square foot facility on six acres of land to manufacture all-electric school buses for the US market. As part of this partnership the state will provide worker training and hiring support, up to $3.5 million in employment incentive payments in exchange for meeting hiring targets, and has agreed to purchase up to $15 million of GreenPower vehicles produced at the facility. To date, this development and other principal capital expenditures have been funded with capital which has been sourced from our company's sale of common shares, convertible debentures, warrants, proceeds from the exercise of warrants and options for common shares, loans from our CEO, and from our company's operating line of credit with the Bank of Montreal.

We have expanded our personnel over the past year, and we anticipate that we will need to hire additional staff for the increased production of vehicles as well as for several other requirements including Sales, Service, Engineering, QA/QC, Operations, Finance, Production Planning, Project Management and Procurement.

We anticipate that we need to raise additional capital in the near-term to meet our growth objectives, including the expansion of our production capacity, for working capital, and to hire and retain employees for this growth. We will continue to evaluate capital and bank market conditions, and may seek to raise debt or equity capital, depending on overall market conditions and pricing.

Our actual results may differ materially as a result of many factors, including those set forth under the headings entitled "Forward-Looking Statements" and "Risk Factors" herein.

Critical accounting policies, the policies we believe are most important to the presentation of our consolidated financial statements and require the most difficult, subjective and complex judgments, are outlined below under the heading "Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates".

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.

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.

The Company's continuing operations are dependent upon its ability to raise capital and generate cash flows. As at March 31, 2022, the Company had a cash and restricted cash balance of $6,888,322, working capital of $31,581,470, accumulated deficit of ($46,359,308), and shareholder's equity of $34,385,193. The 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 a history of delivering 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 with available liquidity of approximately $2.2 million to meet funding requirements. The Company's ability to achieve its business objectives is subject to material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt upon the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company's business financial condition and results of operations may be further negatively affected by economic and other consequences from Russia's military action against Ukraine and the sanctions imposed in response to that action in late February 2022. While the Company expects any direct impacts, of the pandemic and the war in the Ukraine, to the business to be limited, the indirect impacts on the economy and other industries in general could negatively affect the business and may make it more difficult to raise equity or debt financing. There can be no assurance that the Company will not be impacted by adverse consequences that may be brought about on its business, results of operations, financial position and cash flows in the future.

Revenue and Gross Profit

Revenue for the year ended March 31, 2022 of $17,236,773, a 30% increase from the prior year, was generated from the sale and lease of 93 vehicles including 18 BEAST school buses, 11 EV Stars, 4 EV Star + and 21 EV Star cab and chassis, as well as 1 EV Star and 10 EV Star CC's for which the Company provided lease financing, and 28 EV Stars that had previously been on lease and whose leases were cancelled and the vehicles were subsequently sold. Revenue for the year ended March 31, 2021 of $13,286,184, an 8% decrease from the prior year, was generated the sale and lease of 74 buses including 35 EV Stars and 5 EV 250s for which the Company provided lease financing, 30 EV Stars that had previously been on lease and whose leases were cancelled and the vehicles were subsequently sold, and the sale of 1 Synapse school bus, 1 EV Star Cargo Plus, 1 EV Star Plus, and 1 EV Star.

Cost of sales during the year ended March 31, 2022 was $13,360,068 (2021 - $9,706,044, 2020 - $10,344,333) yielding a gross profit of $3,876,705 (2021 - $3,580,140, 2020 - $4,052,825), and a gross profit margin of 22.5% (2021 - 26.9%, 2020 - 28.2%).

The gross profit margin in the year ended March 31, 2022 was negatively affected by a write down of inventory of $153,798 during the year. The gross profit margin was also lower due to the sale of certain vehicles coming off lease at a low margin, and due to the increased sales of BEAST Type D school buses during the period, which generate a lower average gross profit margin than sales of other vehicles, including EV Stars.

Expenses

During the year ended March 31, 2022, we generated a loss from operations of ($14,402,341) compared to ($7,791,075) during the year ended March 31, 2021 and ($4,922,047) during the year ended March 31, 2020, and we generated a total comprehensive loss of ($15,049,333) compared to ($7,815,585) during the year ended March 31, 2021 and ($5,166,790) during the year ended March 31, 2020.

For the year ended March 31, 2022 expenses totaled $18,279,046 compared to $11,371,215 for the year ended March 31, 2021 and $8,974,872 for the year ended March 31, 2020. The major components of expenses during these three periods are described further below.

Administrative fees totaled $5,807,744 compared to $3,747,761 for the year ended March 31, 2021 and $3,313,934 for the year ended March 31, 2020. The increase in administrative fees over these periods was primarily driven by increases in the number of Greenpower's employees. Greenpower had a total of 69 employees as at March 31, 2022, 55 employees as at March 31, 2021, and 48 employees as at March 31, 2020.

Interest and accretion expense totaled $515,668 for the year ended March 31, 2022, $1,598,588 for the year ended March 31, 2021, and $2,133,824 for the year ended March 31, 2020. Interest and accretion expense is comprised of accrued and paid interest on GreenPower's operating line of credit, convertible debentures, promissory note payable, lease liabilities, note payable, and loans from related parties, as well as accretion on the convertible debentures, and amortization of the fair value of the warrants granted to the CEO and Chairman and Director for providing personal guarantees on the Company's operating line of credit. This expense decreased in the year ended March 31, 2022 compared to the prior year, as during the year the Company did not have loans to related parties, the drawn balance on the Company's operating line of credit was nil for the majority of the year, and there were no convertible debentures outstanding. This expense declined in the year ended March 31, 2021 compared with the year ended March 31, 2020, in line with increases in the Company's borrowing activities over the same period.

Product development costs totaled $1,381,101 for the year ended March 31, 2022 compared to $939,949 for the year ended March 31, 2021, and $973,146 for the year ended March 31, 2020. The change in product development costs in each these years reflected the change in revenue in each period, as this expense was primarily driven by warranty accruals and other costs relating to the development of GreenPower's various categories of all-electric vehicles.

Insurance expenses totaled $1,244,505 for the year ended March 31, 2022 compared to $596,932 in the year ended March 31, 2021, and $396,684 in the year ended March 31, 2020. Insurance costs increased during each of the past 3 years due to higher coverage on GreenPower's General Liability and dealership policies, and higher premiums on GreenPower's D&O policy as a result of the Nasdaq uplisting.

Sales and marketing expenses totaled $686,544 for the year ended March 31, 2022 compared to $234,445 in the year ended March 31, 2021, and $549,750 in the year ended March 31, 2020. These costs include salaries for employees engaged in sales and marketing activities and selling and marketing costs including attendance at trade shows, industry event sponsorships, and related sales and marketing activities. The increase in the year ended March 31, 2022 and the decline in the year ended March 31, 2021 was due to the significant reduction of travel and trade show activity due to government health restrictions and stay in place orders caused by the COVID-19 pandemic during the year ended March 31, 2021.

Share-based payments expense totaled $5,771,475 during the year ended March 31, 2022 compared to $2,098,761 in the year ended March 31, 2021, and $308,106 in the year ended March 31, 2020. These expenses relate to the non-cash amortization of the cost of stock options granted to directors, officers, employees and consultants that are recognized over time based on the stock options' vesting terms and director, officer, and employee turnover.

Transportation costs for the year ended March 31, 2022 were $231,472 (2021 - $161,017, 2020 - $255,535), and relate to the use of trucks, trailers, tractors as well as other operational costs needed to transport company products around North America.

Professional fees for the year ended March 31, 2022 totaled $1,207,920, (2021 - $486,425, 2020 - $303,541) and consist of legal and audit fees. The increase in these fees during the year ended March 31, 2022 relate primarily to increases in legal fees associated with ongoing litigation related to the prior CEO, a previous employee, and to the settlement of a dispute with a dealer. Increases in the year ended March 31, 2021 compared to the prior year were associated with the Company's Nasdaq uplisting and common share offering.

Other operating expenses during the year ended March 31, 2022 were comprised of depreciation of $661,958 (2021 - $437,263, 2020 - $578,555), office expenses of $419,398, (2021 - $325,324, 2020 -$206,035), and an allowance for credit losses of $8,940, (2021 - $333,929, 2020 - $46,447), non-cash foreign exchange (losses) / gains that totaled ($65,117) in the year ended March 31, 2022, (2021 - ($193,798), 2020- $439,209), and other income in the year ended March 31, 2022 of $364,296 (2021 - nil, 2020 - nil), resulting in a loss from operations for the year ended March 31, 2022 of ($14,402,341), (2021 - ($7,791,075), 2020 - ($4,922,047)).

For the year ended March 31, 2022, after recognition of a write down of assets of $607,579, (2021 - $45,679, 2020 -$223,919), and a cumulative translation reserve of ($39,413), (2021 - $21,169, 2020 - ($20,824)) resulted in a consolidated net comprehensive loss of ($15,049,333), (2021 - ($7,815,585), 2020 - ($5,166,790)).

Capital Resources

Year ended March 31, 2022 and up to the date of this report

Authorized: Unlimited number of common shares without par value

Authorized: Unlimited number of preferred shares without par value

Effective April 19, 2022, subsequent to our year end, GreenPower adopted the 2022 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2022 Plan"), which replaced the 2019 Plan and after this date no further stock options will be granted under the 2019 Plan. Under the 2022 Plan the Company can grant equity-based incentive awards in the form of stock options ("Options"), restricted share units ("RSUs"), performance share units ("PSUs") and deferred share units ("DSUs"). RSU's, DSU's and PSU's are collectively referred to as "Performance Based Awards". The 2022 Plan is a Rolling Plan for Options and a fixed-plan for Performance-Based Awards such that the aggregate number of Shares that: (i) may be issued upon the exercise or settlement of Options granted under the 2022 Plan (and all of the Company's other Security-Based Compensation Arrangements), shall not exceed 10% of the Company's issued and outstanding Shares from time to time, and (ii) may be issued in respect of Performance-Based Awards granted under the 2022 Plan (and all of the Company's other Security-Based Compensation Arrangements) shall not exceed 2,314,803. The 2022 Plan is considered an "evergreen" plan, since Options which have been exercised, cancelled, terminated, surrendered, forfeited or expired without being exercised shall be available for subsequent grants under the 2022 Plan and the number of awards available to grant increases as the number of issued and outstanding Shares increases.

As of our March 31, 2022 year end, the Company had an incentive stock option plan whereby it grants options to directors, officers, employees, and consultants of the Company. On May 14, 2019, the Company replaced the 2016 Plan with a Rolling Stock Option Plan (the "2019 Plan"). Under the terms of the 2019 Plan, the aggregate number of Options that can be granted under the 2019 Plan cannot exceed ten (10%) of the total number of issued and outstanding Shares, calculated on a non-diluted basis. The exercise price of options granted under the 2019 Plan may not be less than the minimum prevailing price permitted by the TSXV policies with a maximum term of 10 years.

The Company completed a seven-for-one share consolidation on August 28, 2020. All figures in this report have been retroactively restated to give effect to this share consolidation.

On March 9, 2016, the shareholders approved the previous stock option plan which initially allowed for the issuance of up to 1,491,541 shares and which was subsequently further increased to allow up to 2,129,999 shares to be issued under the plan (the "2016 Plan"). Prior to the adoption of the 2016 Plan, the Company had adopted an incentive stock option plan (the "Plan"), whereby it could grant options to directors, officers, employees, and consultants of the Company.

The Company had the following incentive stock options granted under the 2019 Plan, and the 2016 Plan, that are issued and outstanding as at March 31, 2022:

Net cash provided by financing activities amounted to $5.5 million for the year-ended March 31, 2020 primarily due to proceeds of $4.0 million from a private placement offset by issuance costs and other factors, as well as loans from related parties net of repayments of $1.3 million, and proceeds from the line of credit of $1.1 million.

C. Research and development, patents and licenses, etc.

We have invested significant resources in developing our suite of all-electric buses. Our buses were developed using a clean-sheet proprietary design and use key components from established third-party suppliers. We have a patent on a proprietary designed parking pawl for electric vehicles, and may choose to obtain patents and licenses on our designs, processes or inventions in the future.

We have expended $1,381,101, $939,949, and $973,146 on product development costs during the years ended March 31, 2022, March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020 respectively.

D. Trend information

We do not know of any trends, commitments, events, or uncertainty that are expected to have a material effect on our company's business, financial condition, or results of operations other than as described in the section "Risk Factors" and in the section entitled "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk".

E. Off-balance sheet arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on the results of operations or financial condition of our company including, without limitation, such considerations as liquidity and capital resources that have not previously been discussed.

Application of Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with applicable generally accepted accounting principles requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.

Our management routinely makes judgements and estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. As the number of variables and assumptions affecting the probable future resolution of the uncertainties increase, these judgements become even more subjective and complex. We have identified certain accounting policies, described below, that are the most important to the portrayal of our current financial condition and results of operations. Our significant accounting policies are disclosed in our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report.

Basis of presentation

Statement of Compliance with IFRS

Our annual consolidated financial statements for the years ended March 31, 2022, March 31, 2021, and March 31, 2020 were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"), and 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 our company's accounting policies.

Basis of consolidation

Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of our company and all of its wholly-owned subsidiaries:

Name of	Country of	Ownership	Ownership	Principal
Subsidiary	Incorporation	31-Mar-22	31-Mar-21	Activity

Lion Truck Body Incorporated	United States	100%	N/A	Holding company
EA Green-Power Private Ltd.	India	100%	N/A	Electric bus manufacturing and distribution

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

Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date of acquisition, being the date on which we obtain control, and continue to be consolidated until the date when such control ceases. Control exists when we have 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.

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, 2022, and March 31, 2021.

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, 2022, and March 31, 2021, 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, 2022, and March 31, 2021.

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

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, 2022, the Company recognized an allowance for credit losses of $44,579 (2021 - $35,639).

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, 2022 the Company recognized an allowance for credit losses of nil (2021 - $344,737) 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, 2022 the company recognized an impairment of $43,261 (2021 - $nil) on accounts receivable related to one finance lease.

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.

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.

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, 2022 and March 31, 2021 the Company had no cash equivalents.

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 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.

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.

Foreign currency translation

The consolidated entities and their respective functional currencies are as follows:

Entity	Functional Currency

GreenPower Motor Company Inc. (parent)	U.S. Dollar

GP GreenPower Industries Inc.	Canadian Dollar

GreenPower Motor Company, Inc.	U.S. Dollar

0939181 BC Ltd.	Canadian Dollar

San Joaquin Valley Equipment Leasing, Inc.	U.S. Dollar

0999314 B.C. Ltd.	Canadian Dollar

Electric Vehicle Logistics Inc.	U.S. Dollar

GreenPower Manufacturing WV Inc.	U.S. Dollar

Lion Truck Body Incorporated	U.S Dollar

EA GreenPower Private Ltd.	U.S. Dollar

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 dollar, the portion of the Company's expenses denominated in US dollars has increased, 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.

Translation to functional currency

Foreign currency transactions are translated into US 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.

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.

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.

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	Over term of lease, straight line method

Computers	3 years, straight line method

EV equipment	3 years, straight line method

Furniture	7 years, straight line method

Automobiles	5-10 years, straight line method

Leased asset	12 years, straight line method

Diesel and Electric buses	12 years, straight line method

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.

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.

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, 2022, March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020 the Company recorded $27,329, $2,948,718, and $463,411, respectively in share issuance costs on its Consolidated Statements of Changes in Equity in regards to the issuance of shares.

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.

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 consolidated 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, 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.

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.

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.

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.

Government grants

Government grants are recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the Company will comply with all conditions related to the grant. The grant without specified future performance conditions is recognized in income when the grant proceeds are receivable. A grant that imposes specified future performance conditions is recognized in income when those conditions are met. Government grants in the form of forgivable loans are treated as a government grant when there is reasonable assurance that the Company will meet the terms of the forgiveness of the loan.

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.

Adoption of accounting standards

No new or amended standards were adopted during the year ended March 31, 2022.

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, 2022 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.

F. Tabular disclosure of contractual obligations

Other than as disclosed below, we do not have any contractual obligations as of March 31, 2022 relating to long-term debt obligations, capital (finance) lease obligations, operating lease obligations, purchase obligations or other long-term liabilities reflected on our latest fiscal year end balance sheet. The payments in the table below include estimated future principal and interest payments on our contractual obligations.

March 31, 2022		Less than 3 months		3 to 12 months		One to five years
Line of credit	$	5,766,379	$	-	$	-
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities		1,734,225		-		-
Lease liabilities		30,605		91,815		-
Other liabilities		2,142		6,425		34,265
	$	7,533,351	$	98,240	$	34,265

(1) GreenPower's operating line of credit with the Bank of Montreal is repayable on demand and is therefore recorded as a current liability with less than 3 months to maturity. GreenPower remains in compliance with the financial covenant under the facility and since inception of the loan the Bank of Montreal has not demanded repayment of the facility, however there is no guarantee that the Bank of Montreal will not do so in the future.

C. Board Practices

Term of Office

Each director of our company holds office until the next annual general meeting of our company or until his successor is elected or appointed, unless his office is earlier vacated in accordance with the articles of our company or the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia). Each officer of our company is appointed to serve at the discretion of our board of directors.

Committees

We have three committees: the nominating committee, the compensation committee and the audit committee.

Nominating Committee

On August 23 2020, we adopted a Board of Director Nomination Process and is comprised of Malcolm Clay, Fraser Atkinson and Mark Achtemichuk. In general, when the Board determines that expansion of the board or replacement of a director is necessary or appropriate, the Company's independent directors will be responsible for identifying one or more candidates to fill such directorship, investigating each candidate, evaluating his/her suitability for service on the Board and recommending for selection suitable candidates for nomination to the Board. The Company's independent directors are authorized to use any methods they deems appropriate for identifying candidates for Board membership, including recommendations from current members of the Board, senior management or other third parties (including recommendations from stockholders). The Company's independent directors may engage outside search firms to identify suitable candidates. The Company's independent directors are also authorized to engage in whatever investigation and evaluation processes it deems appropriate, including a thorough review of the candidate's background, characteristics, qualities and qualifications, and personal interviews with all or some of the Company's independent directors, the Company's management or one or more other members of the Board. While diversity may contribute to an evaluation, it is not considered by the Board as a separate or independent factor in identifying board of director nominees. In formulating its recommendation, the Company's independent directors will consider not only the findings and conclusions of the investigation and evaluation process, but also the current composition of the Board; the diversity of the board, including the gender diversity; the attributes and qualifications of serving members of the Board; additional attributes, capabilities or qualifications that should be represented on the Board; and whether the candidate could provide those additional attributes, capabilities or qualifications. The Company's independent directors will not recommend any candidate unless that candidate has indicated a willingness to serve as a director and has agreed to comply, if elected, with the expectations and requirements of serving as a member of the Board. In considering whether to recommend directors who are eligible to stand for re-election, the Company's independent directors may consider a variety of factors, including, without limitation, a director's contributions to the Board and ability to continue to contribute productively; attendance at Board and committee meetings and compliance with the Company corporate governance policies; whether the director continues to possess the attributes, capabilities and qualifications considered necessary or desirable for continued service on the Board; the independence of the director; and the nature and extent of the director's non-Company activities.

Compensation Committee

We have a compensation committee comprised of the Chair, Cathy McLay, Malcolm Clay and David Richardson. We adopted a formal Compensation Committee Charter on August 23, 2020. Our compensation committee, in consultation with the Board, conducts reviews with regards to the compensation of our directors and officers once a year. To make its recommendations on such compensation, our compensation committee take into account the types of compensation and the amounts paid to directors and officers of comparable publicly traded Canadian companies.

Stock Option Plans

On April 12, 2013, our board of directors adopted the 2013 Rolling Stock Option Plan, which is a "rolling" stock option plan, whereby the aggregate number of common shares of our company reserved for issuance, together with any other common shares reserved for issuance under any other plan or agreement of our company, must not exceed 10% of the total number of issued common shares of our company (calculated on a non-diluted basis) at the time a stock option is granted.

On March 9, 2016, our board of directors adopted the 2016 Fixed Stock Option Plan which was a "fixed" stock option plan, pursuant to which we were permitted to grant stock options to acquire up to a maximum of 2,129,999 common shares of our company.

On May 14, 2019, our board of directors adopted the 2019 Rolling Stock Option Plan, which is a "rolling" stock option plan, whereby the aggregate number of common shares of our company reserved for issuance, together with any other common shares of our company reserved for issuance under any other plan or agreement of our company, must not exceed 10% of the total number of issued common shares of our company (calculated on a non-diluted basis) at the time a stock option is granted.

Effective April 19, 2022, our board of directors adopted the 2022 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2022 Plan"), which replaced the 2019 Plan and after this date no further stock options will be granted under the 2019 Plan. Under the 2022 Plan the Company can grant equity-based incentive awards in the form of stock options ("Options"), restricted share units ("RSUs"), performance share units ("PSUs") and deferred share units ("DSUs"). RSU's, DSU's and PSU's are collectively referred to as "Performance Based Awards". The 2022 Plan is a Rolling Plan for Options and a fixed-plan for Performance-Based Awards such that the aggregate number of Shares that: (i) may be issued upon the exercise or settlement of Options granted under the 2022 Plan (and all of the Company's other Security-Based Compensation Arrangements), shall not exceed 10% of the Company's issued and outstanding Shares from time to time, and (ii) may be issued in respect of Performance-Based Awards granted under the 2022 Plan (and all of the Company's other Security-Based Compensation Arrangements) shall not exceed 2,314,803. The 2022 Plan is considered an "evergreen" plan, since Options which have been exercised, cancelled, terminated, surrendered, forfeited or expired without being exercised shall be available for subsequent grants under the 2022 Plan and the number of awards available to grant increases as the number of issued and outstanding Shares increases. Please refer to GreenPower's Notice of Annual General Meeting and Information Circular dated April 20, 2022, as filed on Sedar and Edgar, for a copy of the 2022 Plan.

B. Memorandum and Articles of Association

Incorporation

We are incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia). Our British Columbia incorporation number is BC0877385.

Objects and Purposes of Our Company

Our articles do not contain a description of our objects and purposes.

Voting on Certain Proposal, Arrangement, Contract or Compensation by Directors

Our articles do not restrict directors' power to (a) vote on a proposal, arrangement or contract in which the directors are materially interested or (b) to vote compensation to themselves or any other members of their body in the absence of an independent quorum. Any such conflicts of interest will be subject to the procedures and remedies as provided under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia).

Borrowing Powers of Directors

Our articles provide that we, if authorized by our directors, may from time to time on behalf of our company:

• borrow money in the manner and amount, on the security, from the sources and on the terms and conditions that they consider appropriate;

• issue bonds, debentures and other debt obligations either outright or as security for any liability or obligation of our company or any other person and at any discount or premium and on such other terms as they consider appropriate;

• guarantee the repayment of money by any other person or the performance of any obligation of any other person; and

• mortgage or charge, whether by way of specific or floating charge, or give other security on the whole or any part of the present and future assets and undertaking of our company.

Qualifications of Directors

Under our articles, there is no mandatory retirement age for our directors and our directors are not required to own securities of our company in order to serve as directors.

Share Rights

Our authorized capital consists of an unlimited number of common shares without par value and an unlimited number of preferred shares without par value.

Holders of our common shares are entitled to vote one vote for each share held at all meetings of our shareholders, to receive any dividend declared by our board of directors and, to receive the remaining property of our company upon dissolution. None of our common shares are subject to any call or assessment nor pre-emptive or conversion rights. There are no provisions attached to our common shares for redemption, purchase for cancellation, surrender or sinking or purchase funds.

Our preferred shares may include one or more series and, subject to the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia), the directors of our company may, by resolution, if none of the shares of any particular series are issued, alter articles of our company and authorize the alteration of the notice of articles of our company, as the case may be, to do one or more of the following:

• determine the maximum number of shares of that series that our company is authorized to issue, determine that there is no such maximum number, or alter any such determination;

• create an identifying name for the shares of that series, or alter any such identifying name; and

• attach special rights or restrictions to the shares of that series, or alter any such special rights or restrictions.

The holders of our preferred shares are entitled, on the liquidation or dissolution of our company, whether voluntary or involuntary, or on any other distribution of the assets of our company among shareholders of our company for the purpose of winding up its affairs, to receive, before any distribution is made to the holders of our common shares or any other shares of our company ranking junior to our preferred shares with respect to the repayment of capital on the liquidation or dissolution of our company, whether voluntary or involuntary, or on any other distribution of the assets of our company among shareholders of our company for the purpose of winding up its affairs, the amount paid up with respect to each preferred share held by them, together with the fixed premium (if any) thereon, all accrued and unpaid cumulative dividends (if any and if preferential) thereon, which for such purpose will be calculated as if such dividends were accruing on a day-to-day basis up to the date of such distribution, whether or not earned or declared, and all declared and unpaid non-cumulative dividends (if any and if preferential) thereon. After payment to the holders of our preferred shares of the amounts so payable to them, they will not, as such, be entitled to share in any further distribution of the property or assets of our company, except as specifically provided in the special rights and restrictions attached to any particular series. All assets remaining after payment to the holders of our preferred shares as aforesaid will be distributed rateably among the holders of our common shares.

Except for such rights relating to the election of directors on a default in payment of dividends as may be attached to any series of the preferred shares by the directors, holders of our preferred shares are not entitled, as such, to receive notice of, or to attend or vote at, any general meeting of shareholders of our company.

Meetings

Each director holds office until our next annual general meeting, or until his office is earlier vacated in accordance with our articles or with the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia). A director appointed or elected to fill a vacancy on our board also holds office until our next annual general meeting.

Our articles provide that our annual meetings of shareholders must be held at such time in each calendar year and not more than 15 months after the last annual general meeting and at such place as our board of directors may from time to time determine. Our directors may, at any time, call a meeting of our shareholders.

The holders of not less than five percent of our issued shares that carry the right to vote at a meeting may requisition our directors to call a meeting of shareholders for the purposes stated in the requisition.

Under our articles, the quorum for the transaction of business at a meeting of our shareholders is two persons who are, or who represent by proxy, shareholders who, in the aggregate, hold at least 5% of the issued shares entitled to be voted at the meeting. However, if there is only one shareholder entitled to vote at a meeting of shareholders, (a) the quorum is one person who is, or who represents by proxy, that shareholder, and (b) that shareholder, present in person or by proxy, may constitute the meeting.

Our articles state that in addition to those persons who are entitled to vote at a meeting of our shareholders, the only other persons entitled to be present at the meeting are the directors, the president (if any), the secretary (if any), the assistant secretary (if any), any lawyer for our company, the auditor of our company, any persons invited to be present at the meeting by our directors or by the chair of the meeting and any person entitled or required under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) or our articles to be present at the meeting.

Limitations on Ownership of Securities

Except as provided in the Investment Canada Act, there are no limitations specific to the rights of non-Canadians to hold or vote our common shares under the laws of Canada or British Columbia, or in our charter documents.

Change in Control

There are no provisions in our articles or in the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) that would have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of our company, and that would operate only with respect to a merger, acquisition or corporate restructuring involving our company or our subsidiaries. However, please see our shareholder rights plan described under "Share Capital - Shareholder Rights Plan".

Ownership Threshold

Our articles or the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) do not contain any provisions governing the ownership threshold above which shareholder ownership must be disclosed. Securities legislation in Canada, however, requires that we disclose in our information circular for our annual general meeting, holders who beneficially own more than 10% of our issued and outstanding shares. Most state corporation statutes do not contain provisions governing the threshold above which shareholder ownership must be disclosed. However, we expect that the United States federal securities laws will require us to disclose, in our annual report on Form 20-F, holders who own 5% or more of our issued and outstanding shares.

C. Material Contracts

With the exception of the contracts listed below and contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business, we have not entered into any material contracts during the last two years:

On April 29, 2020 we issued a promissory note to East West Bank for $361,900 for funding received under the U.S. Small Business Administration's Paycheck Protection Program. The promissory note has a fixed rate of interest of 1.00% per annum, and a maturity date of April 29, 2022. Monthly payments of interest only commence seven months after the date of the promissory note and the principal plus interest accrued over the first six months of the promissory note will be due at maturity. During the quarter ended September 30, 2021 the Company received notice from the SBA that the principal of $361,900 and accrued interest of $3,378 on the PPP loan has been forgiven in its entirety, and $365,278 was recognized in Other Income for the loan forgiveness.

On February 28, 2022 we entered into a Purchase and Supply agreement with Workhorse to supply them with 1,500 GreenPower EV Star Cab and Chassis vehicles.

For information regarding Employment, Consulting and Management Agreements involving our directors and senior management, see "Compensation" for additional information.

D. Exchange Controls

Our company is incorporated in and subject to the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada. There is no law or governmental decree or regulation in Canada that restricts the export or import of capital, or affects the remittance of dividends, interest or other payments to a non-resident holder of common shares, other than withholding tax requirements. Any such remittances to United States residents are generally subject to withholding tax, however no such remittances are likely in the foreseeable future. See "Taxation" below.

There is no limitation imposed by Canadian law or by the charter or other constituent documents of our company on the right of a non-resident to hold or vote common shares of our company. However, the Investment Canada Act (Canada) has rules regarding certain acquisitions of shares by non-residents, along with other requirements under that legislation.

The following discussion summarizes the principal features of the Investment Canada Act (Canada) for a non-resident who proposes to acquire common shares of our company. The discussion is general only; it is not a substitute for independent legal advice from an investor's own advisor; and it does not anticipate statutory or regulatory amendments.

The Investment Canada Act (Canada) is a Canadian federal statute of broad application regulating the establishment and acquisition of Canadian businesses by non-Canadians, including individuals, governments or agencies thereof, corporations, partnerships, trusts or joint ventures. Investments by non-Canadians to acquire control over existing Canadian businesses or to establish new ones are either reviewable or notifiable under the Investment Canada Act (Canada). If an investment by a non-Canadian to acquire control over an existing Canadian business is reviewable under the Investment Canada Act (Canada), the Investment Canada Act (Canada) generally prohibits implementation of the investment unless, after review, the Minister of Industry, is satisfied that the investment is likely to be of net benefit to Canada.

A non-Canadian would acquire control of our company for the purposes of the Investment Canada Act (Canada) through the acquisition of common shares if the non-Canadian acquired a majority of the common shares of our company.

Further, the acquisition of less than a majority but one-third or more of the common shares of our company would be presumed to be an acquisition of control of our company unless it could be established that, on the acquisition, our company was not controlled in fact by the acquirer through the ownership of common shares.

For a direct acquisition that would result in an acquisition of control of our company, subject to the exception for "WTO Investors" that are controlled by persons who are resident in World Trade Organization ("WTO") member nations, a proposed investment would be reviewable where the value of the acquired assets is CDN$5 million or more, or if an order for review was made by the federal cabinet on the grounds that the investment related to Canada's cultural heritage or national identity, where the value of the acquired assets is less than CDN$5 million.

For a proposed indirect acquisition that is not a so-called WTO transaction and that would result in an acquisition of control of our company through the acquisition of a non-Canadian parent entity, the investment would be reviewable where (a) the value of the Canadian assets acquired in the transaction is CDN$50 million or more, or (b) the value of the Canadian assets is greater than 50% of the value of all of the assets acquired in the transaction and the value of the Canadian assets is CDN$5 million or more.

In the case of a direct acquisition by or from a WTO Investor, the threshold is significantly higher. The 2016 threshold was CDN$600 million, which threshold was increased to CDN$800 million in April 2017 for an intended period of two years. Starting January 1, 2019, and for subsequent years, the threshold level became adjusted annually based on growth in nominal gross domestic product in accordance with a formula set out in the Investment Canada Act (Canada) (i.e., the growth in the nominal gross domestic product at market prices multiplied by the threshold amount determined for the previous year). In keeping with this formula, in 2019, the review threshold was increased to CDN$1.045 billion. Other than the exception noted below, an indirect acquisition involving a WTO Investor is not reviewable under the Investment Canada Act (Canada).

The higher WTO threshold for direct investments and the exemption for indirect investments do not apply where the relevant Canadian business is carrying on a "cultural business". The acquisition of a Canadian business that is a "cultural business" is subject to lower review thresholds under the Investment Canada Act (Canada) because of the perceived sensitivity of the cultural sector.

In 2009, amendments were enacted to the Investment Canada Act (Canada) concerning investments that may be considered injurious to national security. If the Industry Minister has reasonable grounds to believe that an investment by a non-Canadian "could be injurious to national security," the Industry Minister may send the non-Canadian a notice indicating that an order for review of the investment may be made. The review of an investment on the grounds of national security may occur whether or not an investment is otherwise subject to review on the basis of net benefit to Canada or otherwise subject to notification under the Investment Canada Act. To date, there is neither legislation nor guidelines published, or anticipated to be published, on the meaning of "injurious to national security." Discussions with government officials suggest that very few investment proposals will cause a review under these new sections.

Certain transactions, except those to which the national security provisions of the Investment Canada Act (Canada) may apply, relating to common shares of our company are exempt from the Investment Canada Act (Canada), including:

(a) acquisition of common shares of our company by a person in the ordinary course of that person's business as a trader or dealer in securities,

(b) acquisition of control of our company in connection with the realization of security granted for a loan or other financial assistance and not for a purpose related to the provisions on the Investment Canada Act (Canada), and

(c) acquisition of control of our company by reason of an amalgamation, merger, consolidation or corporate reorganization following which the ultimate direct or indirect control in fact of our company, through the ownership of common shares, remained unchanged.

Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations for United States Residents

The following is a summary of certain Canadian federal income tax considerations generally applicable to the holding and disposition of our securities acquired by a holder who, at all relevant times, (a) for the purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (i) is not resident, or deemed to be resident, in Canada, (ii) deals at arm's length with us, and is not affiliated with us, (iii) holds our common shares as capital property, (iv) does not use or hold the common shares in the course of carrying on, or otherwise in connection with, a business carried on or deemed to be carried on in Canada and (v) is not a "registered non-resident insurer" or "authorized foreign bank" (each as defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada)), or other holder of special status, and (b) for the purposes of the Canada-U.S. Tax Convention (the "Tax Treaty"), is a resident of the United States, has never been a resident of Canada, does not have and has not had, at any time, a permanent establishment or fixed base in Canada, and who otherwise qualifies for the full benefits of the Tax Treaty. Holders who meet all the criteria in clauses (a) and (b) above are referred to herein as "U.S. Holders", and this summary only addresses such U.S. Holders.

This summary does not deal with special situations, such as the particular circumstances of traders or dealers, tax exempt entities, insurers or financial institutions, or other holders of special status or in special circumstances. Such holders, and all other holders who do not meet the criteria in clauses (a) and (b) above, should consult their own tax advisors.

This summary is based on the current provisions of the Income Tax Act (Canada), the regulations thereunder in force at the date hereof, the current provisions of the Tax Treaty, and our understanding of the administrative and assessing practices of the Canada Revenue Agency published in writing prior to the date hereof. This summary takes into account all specific proposals to amend the Income Tax Act (Canada) and regulations thereunder publicly announced by or on behalf of the Minister of Finance (Canada) prior to the date hereof (the "Proposed Amendments") and assumes that such Proposed Amendments will be enacted in the form proposed. However, such Proposed Amendments might not be enacted in the form proposed, or at all. This summary does not otherwise take into account or anticipate any changes in law or administrative or assessing practices, whether by legislative, governmental or judicial decision or action, nor does it take into account tax laws of any province or territory of Canada or of any other jurisdiction outside Canada, which may differ significantly from those discussed in this summary.

For the purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada), all amounts relating to the acquisition, holding or disposition of our securities must generally be expressed in Canadian dollars. Amounts denominated in United States currency generally must be converted into Canadian dollars using the rate of exchange that is acceptable to the Canada Revenue Agency.

This summary is of a general nature only and is not intended to be, nor should it be construed to be, legal or tax advice to any particular U.S. Holder, and no representation with respect to the Canadian federal income tax consequences to any particular U.S. Holder or prospective U.S. Holder is made. This summary is not exhaustive of all Canadian federal income tax considerations. Accordingly, all prospective purchasers (including U.S. Holders as defined above) should consult with their own tax advisors for advice with respect to their own particular circumstances.

Withholding Tax on Dividends

Amounts paid or credited or deemed to be paid or credited as, on account or in lieu of payment of, or in satisfaction of, dividends on our common shares to a U.S. Holder will be subject to Canadian withholding tax. Under the Tax Treaty, the rate of Canadian withholding tax on dividends paid or credited by us to a U.S. Holder that beneficially owns such dividends and substantiates eligibility for the benefits of the Tax Treaty is generally 15% (unless the beneficial owner is a company that owns at least 10% of our voting stock at that time, in which case the rate of Canadian withholding tax is generally reduced to 5%).

Dispositions

A U.S. Holder will not be subject to tax under the Income Tax Act (Canada) on a capital gain realized on a disposition or deemed disposition of a security, unless the security is "taxable Canadian property" to the U.S. Holder for purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) and the U.S. Holder is not entitled to relief under the Tax Treaty.

Generally, our common shares will not constitute "taxable Canadian property" to a U.S. Holder at a particular time unless, at any time during the 60 month period immediately preceding the disposition, more than 50% of the fair market value of such security was derived, directly or indirectly, from one or any combination of: (i) real or immoveable property situated in Canada, (ii) "Canadian resource properties" (as defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada)), (iii) "timber resource properties" (as defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada)), and (iv) options in respect of, or interests in, or for civil law rights in, property described in any of the foregoing whether or not the property exists. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in certain other circumstances set out in the Income Tax Act (Canada), common shares could also be deemed to be "taxable Canadian property".

If our common shares become listed on a "designated stock exchange" as defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada) and are so listed at the time of disposition, our common shares generally will not constitute "taxable Canadian property" of a U.S. Holder at that time unless, at any time during the 60 month period immediately preceding the disposition, the following two conditions are met: (i) the U.S. Holder, persons with whom the U.S. Holder did not deal at arm's length, partnerships in which the U.S. Holder or such non-arm's length person holds a membership interest (either directly or indirectly through one or more partnerships), or the U.S. Holder together with all such persons, owned 25% or more of the issued shares of any class or series of shares of our company; and (ii) more than 50% of the fair market value of the shares of the company was derived directly or indirectly from one or any combination of real or immovable property situated in Canada, Canadian resource properties (as defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada)), timber resource properties (as defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada)) or options in respect of, or interests in, or for civil law rights in, property described in any of the foregoing whether or not the property exists. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in certain other circumstances set out in the Income Tax Act (Canada), common shares could also be deemed to be "taxable Canadian property".

U.S. Holders who may hold common shares as "taxable Canadian property" should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the application of Canadian capital gains taxation, any potential relief under the Tax Treaty, and special compliance procedures under the Income Tax Act (Canada), none of which is described in this summary.

Certain Material United States Federal Income Tax Considerations

The following is a general summary of certain material U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to a U.S. Holder (as defined below) arising from the acquisition, ownership and disposition of our securities. This summary applies only to U.S. Holders that acquire securities pursuant to this prospectus and does not apply to any subsequent U.S. Holder of our common shares.

This summary is for general information purposes only and does not purport to be a complete analysis or listing of all potential U.S. federal income tax considerations that may apply to a U.S. Holder as a result of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of our common shares. In addition, this summary does not take into account the individual facts and circumstances of any particular U.S. Holder that may affect the U.S. federal income tax consequences to such U.S. Holder, including specific tax consequences to a U.S. Holder under an applicable tax treaty. Accordingly, this summary is not intended to be, and should not be construed as, legal or U.S. federal income tax advice with respect to any particular U.S. Holder. In addition, this summary does not address the U.S. federal alternative minimum, net investment income, U.S. federal estate and gift, U.S. Medicare contribution, U.S. state and local, or non-U.S. tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership or disposition of our common shares. Except as specifically set forth below, this summary does not discuss applicable tax reporting requirements. Each U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding all U.S. federal, U.S. state and local and non-U.S. tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of our common shares.

No opinion from U.S. legal counsel or ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") has been requested, or will be obtained, regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership or disposition of our common shares. This summary is not binding on the IRS, and the IRS is not precluded from taking a position that is different from, or contrary to, any position taken in this summary. In addition, because the authorities upon which this summary is based are subject to various interpretations, the IRS and the U.S. courts could disagree with one or more of the positions taken in this summary.

Scope of This Disclosure

Authorities

This summary is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), Treasury Regulations (whether final, temporary, or proposed), published rulings of the IRS, published administrative positions of the IRS, the Convention Between Canada and the United States of America with Respect to Taxes on Income and on Capital, signed September 26, 1980, as amended (the "Canada-U.S. Tax Convention"), and U.S. court decisions that are applicable and, in each case, as in effect and available, as of the date hereof. Any of the authorities on which this summary is based could be changed in a material and adverse manner at any time, and any such change could be applied on a retroactive or prospective basis, which could affect the U.S. federal income tax considerations described in this summary. This summary does not discuss the potential effects, whether adverse or beneficial, of any proposed legislation that, if enacted, could be applied on a retroactive or prospective basis.

U.S. Holders

For purposes of this summary, the term "U.S. Holder" means a beneficial owner of our common shares that is for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

• an individual who is a citizen or resident of the U.S.;

• a corporation (or other entity taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized in or under the laws of the U.S., any state thereof or the District of Columbia;

• an estate, the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source; or

• a trust that

a. is subject to the primary supervision of a court within the U.S. and the control of one or more U.S. persons for all substantial decisions; or

b. has a valid election in effect under applicable Treasury Regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.

Transactions Not Addressed

This summary does not address the tax consequences of transactions effected prior or subsequent to, or concurrently with, any purchase of common shares pursuant to this prospectus (whether or not any such transactions are undertaken in connection with the purchase of common shares pursuant to this prospectus).

U.S. Holders Subject to Special U.S. Federal Income Tax Rules Not Addressed

This summary does not address the U.S. federal income tax considerations of the acquisition, ownership or disposition of our securities by U.S. Holders that are subject to special provisions under the Code, including, but not limited to, the following: (a) tax-exempt organizations, qualified retirement plans, individual retirement accounts, or other tax-deferred accounts; (b) financial institutions, underwriters, insurance companies, real estate investment trusts, or regulated investment companies; (c) broker-dealers, dealers, or traders in securities or currencies that elect to apply a "mark-to-market" accounting method; (d) U.S. Holders that have a "functional currency" other than the U.S. dollar; (e) U.S. Holders that own our securities as part of a straddle, hedging transaction, conversion transaction, constructive sale, or other arrangement involving more than one position; (f) U.S. Holders that acquire our securities in connection with the exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation for services; (g) U.S. Holders that hold our securities other than as a capital asset within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code (generally, property held for investment purposes); and (h) U.S. Holders that own directly, indirectly, or by attribution, 10% or more, by voting power, of our outstanding stock.

This summary also does not address the U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to U.S. Holders who are: (a) U.S. expatriates or former long-term residents of the U.S.; (b) persons that have been, are, or will be a resident or deemed to be a resident in Canada for purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada); (c) persons that use or hold, will use or hold, or that are or will be deemed to use or hold our securities in connection with carrying on a business in Canada; (d) persons whose securities in our company constitute "taxable Canadian property" under the Income Tax Act (Canada); or (e) persons that have a permanent establishment in Canada for purposes of the Canada-U.S. Tax Convention. U.S. Holders that are subject to special provisions under the Code, including U.S. Holders described immediately above, should consult their own tax advisors regarding all U.S. federal, U.S. state and local, and non-U.S. tax consequences (including the potential application and operation of any income tax treaties) relating to the acquisition, ownership or disposition of our common shares.

If an entity or arrangement that is classified as a partnership (or other "pass-through" entity) for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds our common shares, the U.S. federal income tax consequences to such partnership and the partners (or other owners) of such partnership of the acquisition, ownership or disposition of our common shares generally will depend on the activities of the partnership and the status of such partners (or other owners). This summary does not address the U.S. federal income tax considerations for any such partner or partnership (or other "pass-through" entity or its owners). Owners of entities and arrangements that are classified as partnerships (or other "pass-through" entities) for U.S. federal income tax purposes should consult their own tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership or disposition of our common shares.

Acquisition of Our Securities
A U.S. Holder generally will not recognize gain or loss upon the acquisition of our securities for cash pursuant to this prospectus. A U.S. Holder's holding period for such common shares will begin on the day after the acquisition.

Ownership and Disposition of Our Common Shares

Distributions on Our Common Shares

Subject to the "passive foreign investment company" ("PFIC") rules discussed below (see "Tax Consequences if Our Company is a PFIC"), a U.S. Holder that receives a distribution, including a constructive distribution, with respect to our common shares will be required to include the amount of such distribution in gross income as a dividend (without reduction for any Canadian income tax withheld from such distribution) to the extent of the current or accumulated "earnings and profits" of our company, as computed for U.S. federal income tax purposes. To the extent that a distribution exceeds the current and accumulated "earnings and profits" of our company, such distribution will be treated first as a tax-free return of capital to the extent of a U.S. Holder's tax basis in our common shares and thereafter as gain from the sale or exchange of such common shares (see "Sale or Other Taxable Disposition of Our Common Shares" below). However, we may not maintain calculations of earnings and profits in accordance with U.S. federal income tax principles, and each U.S. Holder should therefore assume that any distribution by our company with respect to our common shares will constitute a dividend. Dividends received on our common shares generally will not be eligible for the "dividends received deduction" available to U.S. corporate shareholders receiving dividends from U.S. corporations. If our company is eligible for the benefits of the Canada-U.S. Tax Convention or our common shares is readily tradable on an established securities market in the U.S., dividends paid by our company to non-corporate U.S. Holders generally will be eligible for the preferential tax rates applicable to long-term capital gains, provided certain holding period and other conditions are satisfied, including that our company not be classified as a PFIC in the tax year of distribution or in the preceding tax year. The dividend rules are complex, and each U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding the application of such rules.

Sale or Other Taxable Disposition of Our Common Shares

Subject to the PFIC rules discussed below, upon the sale or other taxable disposition of our common shares, a U.S. Holder generally will recognize capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the amount of cash plus the fair market value of any property received and such U.S. Holder's tax basis in the common shares sold or otherwise disposed of. Such capital gain or loss will be long-term capital gain or loss if, at the time of the sale or other taxable disposition, the U.S. Holder's holding period for such security is more than one year. Preferential tax rates apply to long-term capital gains of non-corporate U.S. Holders. There are currently no preferential tax rates for long-term capital gains of a U.S. Holder that is a corporation. Deductions for capital losses are subject to significant limitations under the Code.

PFIC Status of Our Company

If our company is or becomes a PFIC, the preceding sections of this summary may not describe the U.S. federal income tax consequences to U.S. Holders of the ownership and disposition of our common shares. The U.S. federal income tax consequences of owning and disposing of our common shares if our company is or becomes a PFIC are described below under the heading "Tax Consequences if Our Company is a PFIC."

A non-U.S. corporation is a PFIC for each tax year in which (i) 75% or more of its gross income is passive income (as defined for U.S. federal income tax purposes) (the "income test") or (ii) on average for such tax year, 50% or more (by value) of its assets either produces or is held for the production of passive income (the "asset test"). For purposes of the PFIC provisions, "gross income" generally includes sales revenues less cost of goods sold, plus income from investments and from incidental or outside operations or sources, and "passive income" generally includes dividends, interest, certain rents and royalties, and certain gains from commodities or securities transactions. In determining whether or not it is a PFIC, a non-U.S. corporation is required to take into account its pro rata portion of the income and assets of each corporation in which it owns, directly or indirectly, at least a 25% interest (by value). If certain conditions are met, a start-up non-U.S. corporation is not a PFIC in the first year that it has gross income, but could be a PFIC in one or more earlier years in which it has no gross income but satisfies the asset test.

Under certain attribution and indirect ownership rules, if our company is a PFIC, U.S. Holders will generally be deemed to own their proportionate shares of our company's direct or indirect equity interest in any company that is also a PFIC (a "Subsidiary PFIC").

The Company does not know if it currently is a PFIC or was a PFIC in a prior year and, based on current business plans and financial projections, does not know if it will be a PFIC in subsequent tax years. The determination of PFIC status is inherently factual, is subject to a number of uncertainties, and can be determined only annually after the close of the tax year in question. Additionally, the analysis depends, in part, on the application of complex U.S. federal income tax rules, which are subject to differing interpretations. We might be determined to be a PFIC for the current tax year or any prior or future tax year, and no opinion of legal counsel or ruling from the IRS concerning the status of our company as a PFIC has been obtained or will be requested. U.S. Holders should consult their own U.S. tax advisors regarding the PFIC status of our company.

Tax Consequences if Our Company is a PFIC

If our company is a PFIC for any tax year during which a U.S. Holder owns our common shares, special rules may increase such U.S. Holder's U.S. federal income tax liability with respect to the ownership and disposition of such common shares. If our company meets the income test or the asset test for any tax year during which a U.S. Holder owns our common shares, our company will be treated as a PFIC with respect to such U.S. Holder for that tax year and for all subsequent tax years, regardless of whether our company meets the income test or the asset test for such subsequent tax years, unless the U.S. Holder elects to recognize any unrealized gain in such common shares or makes a timely and effective QEF Election or, if applicable, Mark-to-Market Election.

Under the default PFIC rules:

• any gain realized on the sale or other disposition (including dispositions and certain other events that would not otherwise be treated as taxable events) of our common shares (including an indirect disposition of the stock of any Subsidiary PFIC) and any "excess distribution" (defined as a distribution to the extent it, together with all other distributions received in the relevant tax year, exceeds 125% of the average annual distribution received during the preceding three years) received on our common shares or with respect to the stock of a Subsidiary PFIC will be allocated ratably to each day of such U.S. Holder's holding period for our common shares;

• the amount allocated to the current tax year and any year prior to the first year in which our company was a PFIC will be taxed as ordinary income in the current year;

• the amount allocated to each of the other tax years (the "Prior PFIC Years") will be subject to tax at the highest ordinary income tax rate in effect for the applicable class of taxpayer for that year;

• an interest charge will be imposed with respect to the resulting tax attributable to each Prior PFIC Year, which interest charge is not deductible by non-corporate U.S. Holders; and

• any loss realized on the disposition of our common shares generally will not be recognized.

A U.S. Holder that makes a timely and effective "mark-to-market" election under Section 1296 of the Code (a "Mark-to-Market Election") or a timely and effective election to treat our company and each Subsidiary PFIC as a "qualified electing fund" (a "QEF") under Section 1295 of the Code (a "QEF Election") may generally mitigate or avoid the PFIC consequences described above with respect to our common shares.

If a U.S. Holder makes a timely and effective QEF Election, the U.S. Holder must include currently in gross income each year its pro rata share of our company's ordinary income and net capital gains, regardless of whether such income and gains are actually distributed. Thus, a U.S. Holder could have a tax liability with respect to such ordinary income or gains without a corresponding receipt of cash from our company. If our company is a QEF with respect to a U.S. Holder, the U.S. Holder's basis in our common shares will be increased to reflect the amount of the taxed but undistributed income. Distributions of income that had previously been taxed will result in a corresponding reduction of basis in our common shares and will not be taxed again as a distribution to a U.S. Holder. Taxable gains on the disposition of our common shares by a U.S. Holder that has made a timely and effective QEF Election are generally capital gains. A U.S. Holder must make a QEF Election for our company and each Subsidiary PFIC if it wishes to have this treatment. To make a QEF Election, a U.S. Holder will need to have an annual information statement from our company setting forth the ordinary income and net capital gains for the year. U.S. Holders should be aware that we might not satisfy the recordkeeping requirements that apply to a QEF or supply U.S. Holders with information such U.S. Holders require to report under the QEF rules in the event that our company is a PFIC for any tax year.

In general, a U.S. Holder must make a QEF Election on or before the due date for filing its income tax return for the first year to which the QEF Election applies. Under applicable Treasury Regulations, a U.S. Holder will be permitted to make retroactive elections in particular circumstances, including if it had a reasonable belief that our company was not a PFIC and filed a protective election. If a U.S. Holder owns PFIC stock indirectly through another PFIC, separate QEF Elections must be made for the PFIC in which the U.S. Holder is a direct shareholder and the Subsidiary PFIC for the QEF rules to apply to both PFICs. Each U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding the availability and desirability of, and procedure for, making a timely and effective QEF Election for our company and any Subsidiary PFIC.

A Mark-to-Market Election may be made with respect to stock in a PFIC if such stock is "regularly traded" on a "qualified exchange or other market" (within the meaning of the Code and the applicable Treasury Regulations). A class of stock that is traded on one or more qualified exchanges or other markets is considered to be "regularly traded" for any calendar year during which such class of stock is traded in other than de minimis quantities on at least 15 days during each calendar quarter. If our common shares are considered to be "regularly traded" within this meaning, then a U.S. Holder generally will be eligible to make a Mark-to-Market Election with respect to such security but not with respect to a Subsidiary PFIC. Upon closing our common shares will be listed or posted for trading on a stock quotation system and therefore considered to be "regularly traded" for this purpose.

When these securities become "regularly traded," a U.S. Holder that makes a timely and effective Mark-to-Market Election with respect to such securities generally will be required to recognize as ordinary income in each tax year in which our company is a PFIC an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of such stock as of the close of such taxable year over the U.S. Holder's adjusted tax basis in such stock as of the close of such taxable year. A U.S. Holder's adjusted tax basis in our securities generally will be increased by the amount of ordinary income recognized with respect to such stock. If the U.S. Holder's adjusted tax basis in our securities as of the close of a tax year exceeds the fair market value of such stock as of the close of such taxable year, the U.S. Holder generally will recognize an ordinary loss, but only to the extent of net mark-to-market income recognized with respect to such stock for all prior taxable years. A U.S. Holder's adjusted tax basis in our securities generally will be decreased by the amount of ordinary loss recognized with respect to such stock. Any gain recognized upon a disposition of our common shares or warrants generally will be treated as ordinary income, and any loss recognized upon a disposition generally will be treated as ordinary loss to the extent of the net mark-to-market income recognized for all prior taxable years. Any loss recognized in excess thereof will be taxed as a capital loss. Capital losses are subject to significant limitations under the Code. Each U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding the availability and desirability of, and procedure for, making a timely and effective Mark-to-Market Election with respect to our common shares.

Foreign Tax Credit

A U.S. Holder that pays (whether directly or through withholding) Canadian income tax in connection with the ownership or disposition of our common shares may be entitled, at the election of such U.S. Holder, to receive either a deduction or a credit for such Canadian income tax paid. Generally, a credit will reduce a U.S. Holder's U.S. federal income tax liability on a dollar-for-dollar basis, whereas a deduction will reduce a U.S. Holder's income subject to U.S. federal income tax. This election is made on a year-by-year basis and applies to all creditable foreign taxes paid (whether directly or through withholding) by a U.S. Holder during a year.

Complex limitations apply to the foreign tax credit, including the general limitation that the credit cannot exceed the proportionate share of a U.S. Holder's U.S. federal income tax liability that such U.S. Holder's "foreign source" taxable income bears to such U.S. Holder's worldwide taxable income. In applying this limitation, a U.S. Holder's various items of income and deduction must be classified, under complex rules, as either "foreign source" or "U.S. source." Generally, dividends paid by a non-U.S. corporation should be treated as foreign source for this purpose, and gains recognized on the sale of securities of a non-U.S. corporation by a U.S. Holder should be treated as U.S. source for this purpose, except as otherwise provided in an applicable income tax treaty, and if an election is properly made under the Code. However, the amount of a distribution with respect to our common shares that is treated as a "dividend" may be lower for U.S. federal income tax purposes than it is for Canadian federal income tax purposes, resulting in a reduced foreign tax credit allowance to a U.S. Holder. In addition, this limitation is calculated separately with respect to specific categories of income. The foreign tax credit rules are complex, and each U.S. Holder should consult its own U.S. tax advisor regarding the foreign tax credit rules.

Special rules apply to the amount of foreign tax credit that a U.S. Holder may claim on a distribution, including a constructive distribution, from a PFIC. Subject to such special rules, non-U.S. taxes paid with respect to any distribution in respect of stock in a PFIC are generally eligible for the foreign tax credit. The rules relating to distributions by a PFIC and their eligibility for the foreign tax credit are complicated, and a U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding their application to the U.S. Holder.

Receipt of Foreign Currency

The amount of any distribution or proceeds paid in Canadian dollars to a U.S. Holder in connection with the ownership, sale or other taxable disposition of our common shares, will be included in the gross income of a U.S. Holder as translated into U.S. dollars calculated by reference to the exchange rate prevailing on the date of actual or constructive receipt of the payment, regardless of whether the Canadian dollars are converted into U.S. dollars at that time. If the Canadian dollars received are not converted into U.S. dollars on the date of receipt, a U.S. Holder will have a basis in the Canadian dollars equal to their U.S. dollar value on the date of receipt. Any U.S. Holder who receives payment in Canadian dollars and engages in a subsequent conversion or other disposition of the Canadian dollars may have a foreign currency exchange gain or loss that would be treated as ordinary income or loss, and generally will be U.S. source income or loss for foreign tax credit purposes. Different rules apply to U.S. Holders who use the accrual method with respect to foreign currency. Each U.S. Holder should consult its own U.S. tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of receiving, owning, and disposing of Canadian dollars.

Information Reporting; Backup Withholding

Under U.S. federal income tax law, certain categories of U.S. Holders must file information returns with respect to their investment in, or involvement in, a non-U.S. corporation. For example, U.S. return disclosure obligations (and related penalties) are imposed on individuals who are U.S. Holders that hold certain specified foreign financial assets in excess of certain threshold amounts. The definition of "specified foreign financial assets" includes not only financial accounts maintained in non-U.S. financial institutions, but also, if held for investment and not in an account maintained by certain financial institutions, any stock or security issued by a non-U.S. person, any financial instrument or contract that has an issuer or counterparty other than a U.S. person and any interest in a non-U.S. entity. A U.S. Holder may be subject to these reporting requirements unless such U.S. Holder's shares of our common shares are held in an account at certain financial institutions. Penalties for failure to file certain of these information returns are substantial. U.S. Holders should consult with their own tax advisors regarding the requirements of filing information returns on IRS Form 8938 for specified foreign financial assets, filing obligations relating to the PFIC rules including possible reporting on IRS Form 8621, and any other applicable reporting requirements.

Payments made within the U.S. or by a U.S. payor or U.S. middleman of (a) distributions on our common shares, and (b) proceeds arising from the sale or other taxable disposition of our common shares generally will be subject to information reporting. In addition, backup withholding, currently at a rate of 24%, may apply to such payments if a U.S. Holder (a) fails to furnish such U.S. Holder's correct U.S. taxpayer identification number ("TIN") (generally on Form W-9), (b) furnishes an incorrect U.S. TIN, (c) is notified by the IRS that such U.S. Holder has previously failed to properly report items subject to backup withholding, or (d) fails to certify, under penalty of perjury, that such U.S. Holder has furnished its correct U.S. TIN and that the IRS has not notified such U.S. Holder that it is subject to backup withholding. Certain exempt persons generally are excluded from these information reporting and backup withholding rules. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the U.S. backup withholding rules are allowed as a credit against a U.S. Holder's U.S. federal income tax liability, if any, or will be refunded, if such U.S. Holder furnishes required information to the IRS in a timely manner. The information reporting and backup withholding rules may apply even if, under the Canada-U.S. Tax Convention, payments are exempt from dividend withholding tax or otherwise eligible for a reduced withholding rate.

The discussion of reporting requirements set forth above is not intended to constitute an exhaustive description of all reporting requirements that may apply to a U.S. Holder. A failure to satisfy certain reporting requirements may result in an extension of the time period during which the IRS can assess a tax, and, under certain circumstances, such an extension may apply to assessments of amounts unrelated to any unsatisfied reporting requirement. Each U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding the information reporting and backup withholding rules.

Certain Reporting Requirements

A U.S. Holder that acquires common shares generally will be required to file Form 926 with the IRS if (1) immediately after the acquisition such U.S. Holder, directly or indirectly, owns at least 10% of the common shares, or (2) the amount of cash transferred in exchange for common shares during the 12-month period ending on the date of the acquisition exceeds US$100,000. Significant penalties may apply for failing to satisfy these filing requirements. U.S. Holders are urged to contact their tax advisors regarding these filing requirements.

THE ABOVE SUMMARY IS NOT INTENDED TO CONSTITUTE A COMPLETE ANALYSIS OF ALL U.S. TAX CONSIDERATIONS APPLICABLE TO U.S. HOLDERS WITH RESPECT TO THE ACQUISITION, OWNERSHIP OR DISPOSITION OF OUR COMMON SHARES. U.S. HOLDERS SHOULD CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS AS TO THE TAX CONSIDERATIONS APPLICABLE TO THEM IN THEIR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES.
