Notes
to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
1.
Basis of Presentation and Business Condition
a)
Interim Financial Information
The
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments and reclassifications considered necessary in order to make the financial
statements not misleading and for a fair and comparable presentation have been included and are of a normal recurring nature. Operating
results for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for
the year ending December 31, 2023. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the SEC on March 31, 2023.
Worksport
Ltd. (together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on April 2, 2003 under the name
Franchise Holdings International, Inc. (“FNHI”). In May 2020, FNHI changed its name to Worksport Ltd. During the year ended
December 31, 2014, the Company completed a reverse acquisition transaction (the “Reverse Acquisition”) with TruXmart Ltd.
(“TruXmart”). On May 2, 2018, TruXmart legally changed its name to Worksport Ltd. (“Worksport”). Worksport designs
and distributes truck tonneau covers in Canada and the United States.
On
May 21, 2021, the Board of Directors authorized the submission of a Certificate of Change/Amendment to the Nevada Secretary of State
in which the Company sought to affect a reverse split of its common stock at the rate of 1-for-20 for the purpose of increasing the per
share price for the Company’s stock in an effort to meet the minimum listing requirements of the NASDAQ. The Certificate of Change
was submitted to the Nevada Secretary of State on May 21, 2021, and the FINRA corporate action was announced on August 3, 2021. FINRA
declared the 1-for-20 reverse stock split effective on August 4, 2021. These condensed consolidated financial statements, including prior
period comparative share amounts, have been retrospectively restated to reflect this reverse split.
Terravis
Energy, Inc. (“Terravis”) was incorporated in the State of Colorado on May 5, 2021. On August 20, 2021, the Company was issued
100 shares of common stock at par value of $ 0.0001 per share for a controlling interest in Terravis. During the year ended December 31,
2022, the Company was issued an additional 9,990,900 shares of common stock of Terravis at par value of $ 0.0001 per share.
On
January 20, 2022, the Board of Directors of Terravis and the Board of Directors of the Company, as the sole stockholder of Terravis,
adopted the Terravis Energy, Inc. 2022 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Terravis 2022 Plan”). Under the Terravis 2022 Plan,
Terravis’ Board of Directors or a committee designated by the Board of Directors may grant incentive stock options,
nonqualified stock options, shares of restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares, performance units and stock
appreciation rights to eligible participants consisting of employees of Terravis, member of Terravis’ Board of Directors,
advisors and consultants to Terravis. The Terravis Board of Directors authorized and reserved 1,500,000
shares of Terravis common stock under the Terravis 2022 Plan, subject to adjustment for any stock splits of Terravis’ common
stock or reorganization, recapitalization, or acquisition of Terravis.
On
April 6, 2022, Lorenzo Rossi and Steven Rossi, both of whom are members of Terravis’ Board of Directors, were granted non-qualified
stock options under the Terravis 2022 Plan exercisable for 750,000 and 250,000 shares of Terravis’ common stock, respectively,

Going Concern
As
of June 30, 2023, the Company had $ 5,902,235 in cash and cash equivalents. The Company has generated only limited revenues and have relied primarily upon
capital generated from public and private offerings of its securities. Since the Company’s acquisition of Worksport in fiscal year
2014, it has never generated a profit. As of June 30, 2023, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $ 40,704,944 .
The accompanying
condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates
the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. During the three and six months ended June
30, 2023, the Company had net loss of $ 3,797,455 (2022 - $ 3,372,319 ) and $ 7,320,725 (2022 - $ 6,189,928 ). As of June 30, 2023, the Company
has working capital of $ 3,554,410 (December 31, 2022 - $ 15,870,377 ) and had an accumulated deficit of $ 40,704,944 (December 31, 2022
- $ 33,384,219 ). The Company has not generated profit from operations since inception and to date has relied on debt and equity financings
for continued operations. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the ability to generate cash flows
from operations and obtain equity and/or debt financing. The Company intends to continue funding operations through equity and debt financing
arrangements, which may be insufficient to fund its capital expenditures, working capital and other cash requirements in the long term.
There can be no assurance that the steps management is taking will be successful.
The
Company has historically operated at a loss, although that may change as sales volumes increase. As of June 30, 2023, the Company had
working capital of $ 3,554,410 (December 31, 2022 – $ 15,870,377 ) and an accumulated deficit of $ 40,704,944 (December 31, 2022 -
$ 33,384,219 ) .
As of June 30, 2023, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $ 5,902,235 (December 31, 2022 - $ 14,620,757 ). Despite the Company almost
having completed its purchasing of large manufacturing machinery, operational costs are expected to remain elevated and, thus, decrease
cash and cash equivalents. Concurrently, the Company intends to continue its start of manufacturing and increasing sales volumes within
2023, which should mitigate the effects of operational costs on cash and cash equivalents; this view is supported by the fact that the
manufacturing facility of the Company is near completion and is expected to start generating substantial revenue in the third quarter
of 2023, barring unforeseeable delays.
The
Company has successfully raised cash, and it is positioned to do so again if deemed necessary or strategically advantageous. During the
year ended December 31, 2021, the Company, through its Reg-A public offering, private placement offering, underwritten public offering,
and exercises of warrants, raised an aggregate of approximately $ 32,500,000 . On September 30, 2022, the Company filed a shelf registration
statement on Form S-3, which was declared effective by the SEC on October 13, 2022 allowing the Company to issue up to $ 30,000,000 of
common stock and prospectus supplement covering the offering, issuance and sale by us of up to $ 13,000,000 of common stock that
may be issued and sold under an At The Market Offering Agreement dated September 30, 2022 (“ATM Agreement”), with H.C. Wainwright
& Co., LLC, as the sales agent (“HCW”). Pursuant to the ATM Agreement, HCW is entitled to a commission equal to 3.0 %
of the gross sales price of the shares of common stock sold. As of June 30, 2023, the Company has sold and issued 4,434 shares of common
stock in consideration for net proceeds of $ 7,134 under the ATM Agreement.
To
date, the Company’s principal sources of liquidity consist of net proceeds from public and private securities offerings and cash
exercises of outstanding warrants. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company received nominal proceeds from public offerings,
private placement offerings, and from the exercise of any outstanding warrants or options. Management is focused on transitioning
towards revenue as its principal source of liquidity by growing existing product offerings as well as the Company’s customer base.
The Company cannot give assurance that it can increase its cash balances or limit its cash consumption and thus maintain sufficient cash
balances for planned operations or future business developments. Future business development and demands may lead to cash utilization
at levels greater than recently experienced. The Company may need to raise additional capital in the future. However, the Company cannot
provide assurances it will be able to raise additional capital on acceptable terms, or at all. Subject to the foregoing, the Company
believes its current cash balances coupled with anticipated cash flow from operating activities will be sufficient to meet its working
capital requirements for at least one year from the date of issuance of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.
The
Company has evaluated whether there are conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s
ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued. Based on its current operating
plans and anticipated cash flows, the Company believes it has a sufficient level of funding for anticipated operations, capital expenditures
and debt repayments for a period of at least 12 months from the issuance date of this Quarterly Report. Still, these factors, among others,
indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that cast substantial doubt
about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments
that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. These adjustments could be material.

options and restricted stock units were not included in the computation of diluted net loss per share as the effect of including
these shares in the calculation would have been anti-dilutive. The potentially dilutive shares totaling 19,291,820
and 18,469,177
for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 were excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share because their
effect would have been anti-dilutive for the periods presented.
There
are 299,000,000 shares
authorized and 17,413,810 and
17,041,055 shares
issued and outstanding, as at June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The computation of loss per share is based on the weighted average
number of shares outstanding during the period in accordance with ASC Topic No. 260, “Earnings Per Share.” Shares underlying
the Company’s outstanding warrants and stock options were excluded due to the anti-dilutive effect they would have on the computation.
As at June 30, 2023, the Company has 3,939,924
warrants convertible to 4,239,924
shares of common stock, 1,215,212

Stock Options and Performance Share Units
Under
the Company’s 2015, 2021 and 2022 Equity Incentive Plans, the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the
option plan shall not exceed 10% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company, have a maximum term of 10 years,
and vest at the discretion of the Board of Directors .
All
equity-settled, share-based payments are ultimately recognized as an expense in the statement of operations with a corresponding credit
to “Additional Paid in Capital.” If vesting periods or other non-market vesting conditions apply, the expense is allocated
over the vesting period, based on the best available estimate of the number of share options expected to vest. Estimates are subsequently
revised if there is any indication that the number of share options expected to vest differs from previous estimates. Any cumulative
adjustment prior to vesting is recognized in the current period. No adjustment is made to any expense recognized in prior periods if
share options ultimately exercised are different than that estimated on vesting.

COVID-19
The
outbreak of the coronavirus, specifically identified as “COVID-19,” has resulted in governments worldwide enacting emergency
measures to combat the spread of the virus. These measures, which include the implementation of travel bans, self-imposed quarantine
periods and social distancing, have caused material disruption to businesses globally resulting in an economic slowdown. Global equity
markets have experienced significant volatility and weakness. Governments and central banks have reacted with significant monetary and
fiscal interventions designed to stabilize economic conditions. The duration and impact of the COVID-19 outbreak are unknown at this
time, as is the efficacy of the government and central bank interventions.
Additionally,
while the potential economic impact and duration of such impact brought by the COVID-19 pandemic are difficult to assess or predict,
the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global financial markets may reduce our ability to access capital, which could negatively
impact our short-term and long-term liquidity. The ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is highly uncertain and subject to change.
The Company does not yet know the full extent of potential delays or impacts on its business, financing or the global economy as a whole.
However, these effects could have a material impact on the Company’s liquidity, capital resources, operations and business and
those of the third parties on which the Company relies. The management and board of the Company are constantly monitoring this situation
to minimize potential losses.

This
section and other parts of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Form 10-Q”) contain forward-looking statements, within the
meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, that involve risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements provide
current expectations of future events based on certain assumptions and include any statement that does not directly relate to any historical
or current fact. Forward-looking statements can also be identified by words such as “future,” “anticipates,”
“believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “predicts,”
“will,” “would,” “could,” “can,” “may,” and similar terms. Forward-looking
statements are not guarantees of future performance and actual results may differ significantly from the results discussed in the forward-looking
statements. All forward-looking statements in this Form 10-Q are made based on current expectations, forecasts, estimates and assumptions,
and involve risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause results or events to differ materially from those expressed in the
forward-looking statements. In evaluating these statements, various factors, uncertainties, and risks should be specifically considered
that could affect future results or operations. These factors, uncertainties and risks may cause actual results to differ materially
from any forward-looking statement set forth in this Form 10-Q. These risks and uncertainties described and other information contained
in the reports filed with or furnished to the SEC should be carefully considered before making any investment decision with respect to
the Company’s securities. The Company assumes no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements for any reason,
except as required by law.
Unless
otherwise stated, all information presented herein is based on the Company’s fiscal calendar, and references to particular years,
quarters, months or periods refer to the Company’s fiscal years ended in March and the associated quarters, months and periods
of those fiscal years. Each of the terms “Company” and “Worksport” as used herein refers collectively to
Worksport Ltd. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, unless otherwise stated.
The
following discussion should be read in conjunction with the 2022 Form 10-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the
“SEC”) and the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form
10-Q.
Overview
Worksport
Ltd., through its subsidiaries, designs, develops, manufactures, and owns the Intellectual Property on a portfolio of tonneau cover,
solar integration, portable power station, and NP (Non-Parasitic), Hydrogen-based green energy products and solutions for the automotive
aftermarket accessories, power storage, residential heating, and electric vehicle-charging industries. We seek to provide consumers with
next-generation automotive aftermarket accessories while capitalizing on growing consumer interest in clean energy solutions and power
grid independence.
Rising
Popularity of Electric Vehicles
Electric
Vehicles (EVs) have been exponentially increasing in consumer interest, whether that interest takes the form of vehicle pre-orders, sales,
or investments. As we begin marketing our Worksport SOLIS and COR, we plan to market the SOLIS as a must-have accessory for electric
light duty vehicle owners while simultaneously riding the coattails of EV popularity to promote our other products (COR and conventional
tonneau covers) to the very large population of Americans that have an interest in EVs without the funds to purchase them. Further, participating
in the EV space allows us to target consumers with an interest in cutting-edge technologies – a great market in which to promote
our COR.
21
Regulatory
Environment Favoring Electric Vehicles
The
Build Back Better Bill was a strong indication of upcoming and favorable USA regulations. Many regulations that improve North America’s
Electric Vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure or provide grants to businesses operating in the EV space will benefit us. While we are
primarily focused on the light duty vehicle market, our energy products are particularly useful for electric light duty pickup trucks
and, therefore, are positioned to benefit greatly from any bill that increases the prevalence of such vehicles.
Limited
Competitive Landscape
Our
conventional tonneau covers are engineered for enhanced user experience and resistance to wear-and-tear, making them strong and competitive
products in an otherwise consolidated and saturated market. The Worksport COR, however, operates in a much wider yet unsaturated market.
The global Portable Power Station market is quickly growing, and the competitive landscape is far from consolidated. The solar tonneau
cover market is in its infancy, and it’s a market in which we have first-mover advantage. To ensure we do not fall behind future
competitors, we are highly focused on protecting our intellectual property both domestically and abroad.
Business
Developments
The
following highlights recent material developments in our business in the six months ended June 30, 2023:
● In
January 2023, a Worksport representative traveled to a European vendor who was manufacturing a portion of Worksport’s assembly
line to assess the quality of said machinery. Later that month, Worksport announced its
approval of the machinery following a rigorous on-site inspection, after which the machine was shipped to Worksport’s
USA production facility with an arrival date of March 14, 2023.
● In
February and June of 2023, Worksport hosted job fairs at its production facility to attract
local assembly people, machine operators, and clerical workers. Both job fairs proved to
be a success, the former of which attracted nearly 100 applicants.
● By
May 2023, Worksport had completed its installation of its custom manufacturing line, at which
point it was ready to conduct training sessions and test production runs. That same month,
Worksport sent a potential private-label customer hard-folding tonneau cover samples –
samples that were approved shortly thereafter. Further, much of the raw materials required
for a first full production run were received in May 2023.
● In
June 2023, Worksport announced the launch of a new product line: the SC4 PRO, a soft, quad-fold
cover with enhanced usability compared to Worksport’s SC4.
● In
June 2023, Worksport officially relocated its corporate headquarters to its production facility
in West Seneca, New York. This change symbolizes Worksport’s focus on domestic manufacturing
and investment of resources into its West Seneca production facility.

Key
Factors Affecting our Performance
As
a result of a number of factors, our historical results of operations may not be comparable to our results of operations in future periods,
and our results of operations may not be directly comparable from period to period. Set forth below is a brief discussion of the key
factors impacting our results of operations.
COVID-19
The
outbreak of the coronavirus, specifically identified as “COVID-19,” resulted in governments worldwide enacting emergency
measures to combat the spread of the virus. These measures, which included the implementation of travel bans, self-imposed quarantine
periods, and social distancing, have caused material disruption to businesses globally, resulting in an economic slowdown. Global equity
markets experienced significant volatility and weakness. Governments and central banks have reacted with significant monetary and
fiscal interventions designed to stabilize economic conditions – many of which have deeply impacted capital markets.
As
a safety precaution, we created a policy such that any personnel exposed to an infectious disease or virus was not to report to the office
until the completion of a variable length quarantine. While this resulted in fewer personnel working in our offices or labs on a given
day, it likely prevented further contamination and sick leave. We do not believe this policy has impacted revenue nor timelines towards
upcoming product launches; however, supply chain issues caused by COVID-19 did result in higher cost of goods sold during 2021 and 2022.
While freight costs have since returned to pre-COVID-19 levels, 2021 freight costs were, in some cases, more than four times higher than
those shortly before COVID-19.
The
supply chain for certain raw materials has been disproportionately, negatively impacted when compared to supply chains of other raw materials.
The supply chain for power electronics, specifically, is still facing supply chain issues as a result of COVID-19, for the globe faced
a simultaneous supply shock and heightened demand for these goods – increasing the prices for such raw materials while simultaneously
slowing suppliers’ order fulfillments. Further, due to such shortages, many suppliers of power electronics have focused their attention
on large customers such as those more directly aligned within the electric vehicle supply chain as compared to companies on the outskirts
of this supply chain such as Worksport. This particular result of COVID-19 primarily affects the sourcing of components for the Worksport
COR. In order to mitigate these supply chain issues, we have invested more resources into sourcing power electronics in the interest of finding
reliable suppliers with manageable lead times and competitive pricing.
The
response of many governments to the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in higher interest rates and destabilized equity markets – particularly
among micro- or low-capitalization companies – effectively increasing the cost of and decreasing easy access to capital, which
could negatively impact our short-term and long-term liquidity. These factors, combined with the consequences of possible future waves
of the disease, could have a material impact on our liquidity, capital resources, operations, and business as well as those of the third
parties on which we rely. The management and Board are constantly monitoring this situation to minimize potential losses.
Climate
Change
Climate
change threatens to cause many foreseeable as well as unforeseeable ramifications. In cautious preparation for those that are foreseeable,
we have strategically begun domestic manufacturing operations in Western New York – an economically growing region not immediately
threatened by climate change to the same extent as other regions and possibly one that may benefit from future population migrations
within the United States of America. Further, we intend to lower our own carbon footprint by investing in energy-saving measures in our
factory in West Seneca, NY.
Considering
climate change may also exacerbate geopolitical tensions, we are working to diversify our supply chain and lower our reliance on any
particular region or country for raw materials in order to lower our exposure to climate change-induced economic or political instability.
We
believe our Worksport SOLIS and Worksport COR products will be received positively by the public for their resilience to and even increased
utility as a result of Climate Change. However, we acknowledge the potentially negative environmental impacts of poor battery recycling
and increasing demand for precious metals. We are actively researching ways to lower such environmental impacts.
23
Inflation
Prices
of certain commodity products, including raw materials, are historically volatile and are subject to fluctuations arising from changes
in domestic and international supply and demand, labor costs, competition, market speculation, government regulations, trade restrictions
and tariffs. Increasing prices in the component materials for the parts of our goods may impact the availability, quality and price of
our products as suppliers search for alternatives to existing materials and increase the prices they charge. Our suppliers may also fail
to provide consistent quality of product as they may substitute lower cost materials to maintain pricing levels. Rapid and significant
changes in commodity prices may negatively affect our profit margins, and it may be difficult to mitigate worsened margins through customer
pricing actions and cost reduction initiatives.
Such
an inflationary environment also increases our direct cost of raw goods or processed goods for our OEM manufacturing as well as indirect
costs such as overhead and rent. Due to these present and forecasted price increases and the temporary increases in ocean freight and
container handling costs faced during the majority of 2022 as a result of 2021 supply chain issues, we updated our product pricing in
2022.
In
addition, as central governments and the U.S. Federal Reserve increase interest rates to combat global inflation, the cost of debt financing
increases. While we currently do not have material debt other than our $5.3 million mortgage on our West Seneca facility, our mortgage’s
variable rate increases and decreases along with interest rates, which resulted in an increase of monthly premiums throughout 2022. We
are still susceptible to variable monthly mortgage interest costs as a result of changes in interest rates. We continue to explore debt
financing options at reasonable interest rates in order to strengthen our cash position.
Rising
interest rates have also resulted in a shift in institutional holdings away from micro-cap equities, which has negatively influenced
our stock’s trading volume. We continue to forge relationships with institutional investors and analysts in order to maintain a
healthy trading volume.
Gasoline
Prices and Supply Chain Issues
We
faced significantly higher ocean freight, trucking, and container handling costs as well as last mile delivery costs in 2021 and 2022
than we did in previous years – all of which have increased our products’ landed costs. Higher oil and gasoline prices further
increased these costs, and we are operating under the assumption most of these higher costs will remain throughout 2023.
Our
transition towards domestic manufacturing and assembly is anticipated to largely offset these higher costs, as we believe we will be
less exposed to higher international shipping costs. We are also identifying North American suppliers of our products’ components
and will prioritize transport by rail when possible to avoid high trucking costs.
Geopolitical
Conditions
In
February 2022, Russia initiated significant military action against Ukraine. In response, the U.S. and certain other countries imposed
significant sanctions and export controls against Russia, Belarus and certain individuals and entities connected to Russian or Belarusian
political, business, and financial organizations, and the U.S. and certain other countries could impose further sanctions, trade restrictions,
and other retaliatory actions should the conflict continue or worsen. It is not possible to predict the broader consequences of the conflict,
including related geopolitical tensions, and the measures and retaliatory actions taken by the U.S. and other countries in respect thereof
as well as any counter measures or retaliatory actions by Russia or Belarus in response, including, for example, potential cyberattacks
or the disruption of energy exports, is likely to cause regional instability and geopolitical shifts, which could materially adversely
affect global trade, currency exchange rates, regional economies and the global economy. The situation remains uncertain, and while it
is difficult to predict the impact of any of the foregoing, the conflict and actions taken in response to the conflict could increase
our costs, reduce our sales and earnings, impair our ability to raise additional capital when needed on acceptable terms, if at all,
or otherwise adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
24
Foreign
Currencies
We
are subject to foreign exchange risk as we manufacture our products in China, market extensively in both Canadian and U.S. markets, employee
people residing in both the U.S. and Canada and, to date, have raised funds in Canadian Dollars. Meanwhile, we report results of operations
in U.S. Dollars. Since our Canadian customers pay in Canadian Dollars, we are subject to gains and losses due to fluctuations in the
USD relative to the Canadian Dollar. While having our products manufactured in China, our manufacturers are paid in USD to better avoid
the relatively greater fluctuation of the Chinese Yuan. To the extent the U.S. dollar strengthens against any of these foreign currencies,
the translation of these foreign currencies denominated transactions results in reduced revenue, operating expenses and net income for
our operations.
RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
Three
Months Ended June 30, 2023 compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2022
Revenue
For
the three months ended June 30, 2023, revenues from our entire line of products was $199,851, as compared to $11,305 for the three
months ended June 30, 2022. Year-over-year sales increased by approximately 1,668%. For the three months ended June 30, 2023, revenue
generated in Canada was $0, as compared to $5,855 for the same period in 2022. For the three months ended June 30, 2023, revenue generated
in the United States was $199,851, compared to $5,450 for the same period in 2022, an increase of 3,567%.
Revenue
increased for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the same period the prior year due to our focus on establishing new business-to-consumer
and business-to-business sales channels, while strengthening the support of those channels to increase customer satisfaction and enable
high product turnover. For business-to-consumer channels, we established our own e-commerce platform, as well as listed our products on
online marketplaces including eBay, Amazon, and Walmart. For business-to-business channels, we updated our terms and conditions, created
improved product brochures for distributors, strategically created a Minimum Advertised Price policy to prevent our business-to-consumer
channels from interfering with our business-to-business channels, established sales representation across the continental U.S. by forging
relationships with various sales agencies, and more. We intend to gradually increase output capacity through refined production processes
and increased personnel.
Sales
from online retailers of our products increased from $5,450 during the three months ended June 30, 2022 to $18,163 during the three months
ended June 30, 2023, an increase of 233%. Online retailers accounted for 9% of total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2023,
compared to 48% for the three months ended June 30, 2022. Distributor sales decreased for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared
with the three months ended June 30, 2022, with sales of $0 and $5,855, respectively. Private label sales increased from $0 for the three
months ended June 30, 2022, to $181,688 for the three months ended June 30, 2023. We expect to continue to grow our fields of business
as we develop unique products with enhanced utility to offer to other prospective clients in the US and Canadian markets.
We
currently support a network of dealers, distributors, and independent resellers, and we will continue to expand our business and online
sales channels in 2023.
Cost
of Sales
Cost
of sales increased by 1,819%, from $7,987 for the three months ended June 30, 2022 to $153,288 for the three months ended June 30, 2023.
Our cost of sales, as a percentage of sales, was approximately 77% and 71% for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
The increase in the cost of sales as a percentage of sales was primarily due to increased inflationary pressure increasing the cost of
materials for production.
We
provide our distributors and online retailers an “all-in” wholesale price. This includes any import duty charges, taxes,
and shipping charges. Discounts are applied if the distributor or retailer chooses to use their own shipping process. Certain exceptions
apply on rare occasions where product is shipped outside the contiguous United Sates or from the United States to Canada. Volume discounts
are offered to certain high-volume customers, and we also offer a “dock price” or “pickup program” whereby clients
are able to pick up product directly from our stocking warehouse.
25
Operating
Expenses
Operating
expenses increased for the three months ended June 30, 2023 by $473,773, from $3,331,509 for the three months ended June 30, 2022 to
$3,785,282 for the three months ended June 30, 2023, due to the following factors.
●
General
and administrative expenses increased by $893,886, from $850,915 in 2022 to $1,744,801 in 2023. The increase was related to increased
research and development activities and an increase in salaries as we seek to expand our operations and further develop our products.
●
Sales
and marketing expenses decreased by $97,655, from $646,367 for 2022 to $548,712 for 2023. The decrease in sales and marketing is primarily
attributable to the completion of several marketing agreements and lower cost of in-house marketing campaigns to create brand and
product awareness.
●
Professional
fees, which include accounting, legal, and consulting fees, decreased from $1,813,875 in 2022 to $1,491,453 in 2023. The decrease
in professional fees was due to the completion of consulting engagements with various third-party consultants.
●
We
realized a loss on foreign exchange of $316 during 2023, compared to a loss on foreign exchange of $352 for the prior period due
to conversions between CAD and USD.
Other
Income and Expenses
We
reported other loss for the three months ended June 30, 2023 of $58,736 compared to a loss of $64,128 in the prior period. Other
loss can be attributed to increased interest expense partially offset by interest and rental income.
Net
Loss
Net
loss for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was $3,797,455 compared to a net loss of $3,372,319 for the three months ended June 30,
2022 – an increase of 13%. The increase in the net loss can be attributed to the increase in various operating expenses as we focus
on expanding our operations, research and development, manufacturing, and supply chain.
Six
Months Ended June 30, 2023 compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2022
Revenue
For
the six months ended June 30, 2023, revenues from the entire line of our products were $231,776, as compared to $59,089 for the six months
ended June 30, 2022. Year-over-year sales increased by approximately 292%. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, revenue generated
in Canada was $2,655, as compared to $5,802 for the same period in 2022. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, revenue generated in
the United States was $229,121, compared to $53,287 for the same period in 2022, an increase of 330%.
Revenue
increased for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the same period the prior year due to our focus on establishing new business-to-consumer
and business-to-business sales channels while strengthening the support of those channels to increase customer satisfaction and enable
high product turnover. For business-to-consumer channels, we established our own e-commerce platform as well as listed our products on
online marketplaces including eBay, Amazon, and Walmart. For business-to-business channels, we updated our terms and conditions, created
improved product brochures for distributors, strategically created a Minimum Advertised Price policy to prevent our business-to-consumer
channels from interfering with our business-to-business channels, established sales representation across the continental U.S. by forging
relationships with various sales agencies, and more. We intend to gradually increase output capacity through refined production processes
and increased personnel.
Sales
from online retailers of our products decreased from $53,287 during the six months ended June 30, 2022 to $42,437 during the six months
ended June 30, 2023, a decrease of 20%. Online retailers accounted for 18% of total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared
to 90% for the six months ended June 30, 2022. Distributor sales decreased for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared with the six
months ended June 30, 2022 with sales of $2,655 and $5,802, respectively. Private label sales increased from $0 for the three months
ended June 30, 2022 to $188,684 for the three months ended June 30, 2023. We expect to continue to grow our fields of business as we
develop unique products with enhanced utility to offer to other prospective clients in the US and Canadian markets.
We
currently support a network of dealers, distributors, and independent resellers, and we will continue to expand our business and online
sales channels in 2023.
26
Cost
of Sales
Cost
of sales increased by 276%, from $45,964 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 to $173,045 for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Our
cost of sales, as a percentage of sales, was approximately 75% and 78% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
The cost of sales as a percentage of sales decreased compared with prior period primarily due to increased efficiency associated with
improved supply chain logistics for the six months ended June 30, 2023.
We
provide our distributors and online retailers an “all-in” wholesale price. This includes any import duty charges, taxes,
and shipping charges. Discounts are applied if the distributor or retailer chooses to use their own shipping process. Certain exceptions
apply on rare occasions where product is shipped outside the contiguous United Sates or from the United States to Canada. Volume discounts
are offered to certain high-volume customers, and we also offer a “dock price” or “pickup program” in which clients
are able to pick up product directly from our stocking warehouse.
Operating
Expenses
Operating
expenses increased for the six months ended June 30, 2023 by $1,208,302, from $6,119,096 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 to $7,327,398
for the six months ended June 30, 2023, due to the following factors.
●
General
and administrative expenses increased by $2,422,640 from $1,451,773 in 2022 to $3,874,413 in 2023. The increase was related to increased
research and development activities, increased employment of production personnel including engineers, machine operators, and assembly
people, and increases in salaries as we seek to expand our operations and further develop our products.
●
Sales
and marketing expenses decreased by $273,792 from $1,366,855 for 2022 to $1,093,063 for 2023. The decrease in sales and marketing
is primarily attributable to the completion of several marketing agreements and lower cost of in-house marketing campaigns to create
brand and product awareness.
●
Professional
fees, which include accounting, legal, and consulting fees, decreased from $3,301,454 in 2022 to $2,360,064 in 2023. The decrease
in professional fees was due to the completion of consulting engagements with various third-party consultants.
●
We
realized a gain on foreign exchange of $142 during 2023, compared to a gain on foreign exchange of $986 for the prior period due
to conversions between CAD and USD.
Other
Income and Expenses
We
reported other expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2023 of $52,058 compared to $83,957 in the prior period. The decrease
in other expenses can be attributed to our gain on loan forgiveness from the Government of Canada as well as rental and interest income,
which are partially offset by an increase in interest expense.
Net
Loss
Net
loss for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $7,320,725, compared to a net loss of $6,189,928 for the six months ended June 30, 2022
– an increase of 18%. The increase in the net loss can be attributed to the increase in various operating expenses as we focus
on expanding our operations, research and development, manufacturing, and supply chain.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources; Going Concern
As of June 30, 2023, the
Company had $5,902,235 in cash and cash equivalents. The Company has generated only limited revenues and have relied primarily upon capital
generated from public and private offerings of its securities. Since the Company’s acquisition of Worksport in fiscal year 2014,
it has never generated a profit. As of June 30, 2023, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $40,704,944.
The
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern,
which contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. During the three and
six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company had net loss of $3,797,455 (2022 - $3,372,319) and $7,320,725 (2022 - $6,189,928). As of
June 30, 2023, the Company has working capital of $3,554,410 (December 31, 2022 - $15,870,377) and had an accumulated deficit of $40,704,944
(December 31, 2022 - $33,384,219). The Company has not generated profit from operations since inception and to date has relied on debt
and
equity financings for continued operations. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the ability
to generate cash flows from operations and obtain equity and/or debt financing. The Company intends to continue funding operations through
equity and debt financing arrangements, which may be insufficient to fund its capital expenditures, working capital and other cash requirements
in the long term. There can be no assurance that the steps management is taking will be successful.
27
The
Company has historically operated at a loss, although that may change as sales volumes increase. As of June 30, 2023, the Company
had working capital of $3,554,410 (December 31, 2022 – $15,870,377) and an accumulated deficit of $40,704,944 (December 31,
2022 - $33,384,219). As of June 30, 2023, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $5,902,235 (December 31, 2022 - $14,620,757).
Despite the Company almost having completed its purchasing of large manufacturing
machinery, operational costs are expected to remain elevated and, thus, decrease cash and cash equivalents. Concurrently, the
Company intends to begin manufacturing and increasing sales volumes within the second half of
2023, which should mitigate the effects of operational costs on cash and cash equivalents . This view is supported by the fact that
the manufacturing facility of the Company is near completion and is expected to start generating more substantial revenue in the
third quarter of 2023, barring unforeseeable delays.
The Company
has successfully raised cash, and it is positioned to do so again if deemed necessary or strategically advantageous. During the year ended
December 31, 2021, the Company, through its Reg-A public offering, private placement offering, underwritten public offering, and exercises
of warrants, raised an aggregate of approximately $32,500,000. On September 30, 2022, the Company filed a shelf registration statement
on Form S-3, which was declared effective by the SEC on October 13, 2022 allowing the Company to issue up to $30,000,000 of common
stock and prospectus supplement covering the offering, issuance and sale by us of up to $13,000,000 of common stock that may be issued
and sold under an At The Market Offering Agreement dated September 30, 2022 (“ATM Agreement”), with H.C. Wainwright
& Co., LLC, as the sales agent (“HCW”). Pursuant to the ATM Agreement, HCW is entitled to a commission equal to 3.0% of
the gross sales price of the shares of common stock sold. As of June 30, 2023, the Company has sold and issued 4,434 shares of common
stock in consideration for net proceeds of $7,134 under the ATM Agreement.
To
date, the Company’s principal sources of liquidity consist of net proceeds from public and private securities offerings and cash
exercises of outstanding warrants. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company received nominal proceeds from public offerings,
private placement offerings, and from the exercise of any outstanding warrants or options. Management is focused on transitioning
towards revenue as its principal source of liquidity by growing existing product offerings as well as the Company’s customer base.
The Company cannot give assurance that it can increase its cash balances or limit its cash consumption and thus maintain sufficient cash
balances for planned operations or future business developments. Future business development and demands may lead to cash utilization
at levels greater than recently experienced. The Company may need to raise additional capital in the future. However, the Company cannot
provide assurances it will be able to raise additional capital on acceptable terms, or at all. Subject to the foregoing, the Company
believes its current cash balances coupled with anticipated cash flow from operating activities will be sufficient to meet its working
capital requirements for at least one year from the date of issuance of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.
The
Company has evaluated whether there are conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s
ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued. Based on its current operating
plans and anticipated cash flows, the Company believes it has a sufficient level of funding for anticipated operations, capital expenditures
and debt repayments for a period of at least 12 months from the issuance date of this Quarterly Report. Still, these factors, among others,
indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that cast substantial doubt
about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments
that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. These adjustments could be material.
Cash
Flow Activities
Cash
decreased from $14,620,757 at December 31, 2022, to $5,902,235 at June 30, 2023 – a decrease of $8,718,522 or 60%. The decrease
was primarily due to the acquiring of assets for domestic production, such as industrial manufacturing equipment, as well as increasing
spending for inventory in anticipation of launching our e-commerce platform, research and development, production personnel, and overhead.
28
As
of June 30, 2023, we had current assets of $10,454,976 (December 31, 2022 - $18,332,107) and current liabilities of $6,900,566 (December
31, 2022 – $2,461,730). As of June 30, 2023, we had working capital of $3,544,410 (December 31, 2022 – $15,870,377) and an
accumulated deficit of $40,704,944 (December 31, 2022 - $33,384,219).
Operating
Activities
Net
cash used by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $6,018,704, compared to $5,042,882 in the prior period,
primarily driven by a larger net loss during the six months ended June 30, 2023, and partially offset by the issuance of shares, options,
and warrants for services.
Accounts
receivable increased at June 30, 2023 by $263,874 and by $3,850 in the prior period. The increase in accounts receivable was due to higher
sales to distributors near the end of the period in 2023 compared to 2022.
Inventory
increased at June 30, 2023 by $1,533,492, and at June 30, 2022 by $600,940, as a result of our stockpiling components for production as
well as finished goods in anticipation of the launch of our e-commerce platform. Prepaid expenses increased by $14,280 at June 30, 2023,
and by $1,658,508 at June 30, 2022, due to deposits made by us for the purchase of machinery and equipment, inventory, and professional
services.
Accounts
payable and accrued liabilities decreased at June 30, 2023 by $828,757, and increased by $585,813 in the prior period.
Investing
Activities
Net
cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $2,663,046 compared to $9,051,810 in the prior period. The
decrease in investing activities was primarily due to the purchase of a manufacturing facility in 2022.
Financing
Activities
Net
cash used by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $36,772 compared to net cash received from financing activities
of $5,285,712 in the prior period.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
None.
Critical
Accounting Policies
Our
discussion and analysis of results of operations and financial condition are based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements,
which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation
of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of
assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We evaluate our estimates on
an ongoing basis, including those related to provisions for uncollectible accounts receivable, inventories, valuation of intangible assets
and contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to
be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and
liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions
or conditions.
The
accounting policies that we follow are set forth in Note 2 to our financial statements as included in the Form 10-K filed on March 31,
2023. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and have been consistently applied
in the preparation of the financial statements.

Disclosure
Controls and Procedures
We
carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer
and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e)
and 15d-15(e)). Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the
end of the quarter covered in this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required
to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the
required time and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial
officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our
management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and
procedures or our internal controls will prevent all error or fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, cannot
provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Ahe design of a control system must reflect the fact that
there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs.
To
address the material weaknesses , we performed additional analysis and other post-closing procedures in an effort to ensure
our consolidated financial statements included in our periodic reports filed with the SEC are prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles. Management believes that the financial statements included in this report fairly present in all material respects
our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
Changes
in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There
were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially
affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
