Letter

from CEO 2020 was a year of contrasts. On one hand, the COVID 19 pandemic has changed our lives but, on the other, Corvus Energy has experienced its highest revenue in history and a first-time positive EBITDA. I would like to emphasize our employees’ health and safety has been our highest priority throughout this pandemic, with strict in-office and off-site working protocols being in place throughout the year. During this time, our employees have shown remarkable resilience. I would like to thank: our customer service team that have been required to travel to ensure 100% on-time delivery and installation of our products; our factory personnel that have been required to be on site every day to ensure on-time production; and all of our employees that have handled their responsibilities from home offices around the world. We know it has not been easy and having such a strong group of employees has contributed to our success during 2020. During the year, the COVID 19 pandemic did affect our order intake but, starting in the second half of 2020 and into 2021, the market has shown a steady increase in demand for more sustainable solutions. We continue to see growth in all of our segments due to the speed of decarbonization within the maritime industry. Things are moving quickly and Corvus will be an important player in this global transition.

I am proud that we have maintained our strong market position with more than 50% of the market share. To date, Corvus has delivered more than 500 projects across multiple segments and our solutions have logged more than three million running hours. This puts Corvus in a unique position to continue to deliver high quality ESS solutions with a unique safety level. We strongly believe in the future of the maritime battery and fuel cell market and expect significant growth over the next few years. Global IMO and local regulations for reductions in emissions, combined with passenger and end user demands for decarbonization, will mean an increased adoption rate in the maritime industry. This will create an estimated potential addressable market of $10 billion by 2030. The combination of our extensive product portfolio and the development of fuel cells with Toyota means we will continue to be the leading global provider of zero emission solutions for the maritime industry. Finally, I would like to thank our shareholders, banks, customers, suppliers, and all of our other stakeholders for their unwavering support during this turbulent year. We are ready for 2021 and will continue to power a clean future! Best regards,

Geir Bjørkeli Chief Executive Officer Corvus Energy

As a result, no material uncertainty regarding the going concern capability of the Group exists. The consolidated financial statement has been prepared on a going concern basis.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 2020 1. Nature of operations and going concern

COVID-19 pandemic.

Corvus Energy Holding AS (“The Company”) operations consist of developing and commercializing high energy battery systems, battery management systems and applications. The Company consists of the wholly- own subsidiaries Corvus Energy Holding AS (Norway), Corvus Energy AS (Norway), Corvus Energy Inc (Canada)., Corvus Energy USA Ltd (USA) and Corvus Energy Hong Kong Limited (Hong Kong). The Company’s operations are in Richmond, British Columbia, Canada, Bergen and Porsgrunn, Norway. The Company sells its products to end customers and integrators as well as through contract sales agents.

Going concern The group is in a growth period which requires liquidity. In 2020 the Company experienced effects of the COVID-19 pandemic with lower revenues and order intake than expected. Corvus experienced no cancellations and have delivered all orders according to contract. The Company secured a MUSD 10.5 revolving credit facility with DNB in early 2020. Together with increased revenue this has contributed

Leasehold improvements

Term of lease

The Company reviews the carrying amount of its property, plant and equipment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The determination of any impairment would include a comparison of the greater of the fair value less costs to sell or value in use to the net carrying value of the asset. If impairment exists, the carrying value is written down to the greater of the fair value less costs to sell or value in use.

Goodwill and intangible assets Goodwill represents amounts arising on the acquisition of subsidiaries. Goodwill arising on acquisition represents the difference between the cost of the acquisition and the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Goodwill is initially recognised at cost and is subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is allocated to cashgenerating units and is not amortised but is tested annually for impairment, or more frequently when there is an indication that the cash generating unit is impaired.

Leases Leases are classified as either finance or operating leases. Leases, which transfer substantially all the benefits and risks of ownership of the property to the

Annual report 2020

Company, are accounted for as finance leases as per IFRS 16 - Leases. All other leases are accounted for as operating leases wherein rental payments are expensed as incurred and no related liability is recorded on the consolidated balance sheet.

Revenue recognition The Company produces and sells energy storage solutions (ESS). The Company receives milestone payments according to contract. Milestone payments are determined by contract and differ from contract to contract. Revenue is recognized when the ESS product is delivered to the customer and the risk is transferred. On a special case, the company recognized revenue when the product was completed, and the customer had obtained control of the product under IFRS 15.B79 – Bill-andHold arrangement.

Share-based payments The Company has a stock option plan, which is described in note 9. When equitysettled share-based payments are made to employees and directors, compensation expense is recognized based on the fair value of the equity instrument issued on the date of grant, over the vesting period of the equity instrument. Share-based payments to non-employees are measured at the fair value of the consideration received, or the fair value of the equity

a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are mainly the estimates used for warranty reserves, valuation of accounts receivable and impairment of assets. Warranty reserve is accrued at the time of revenue recognition based on management’s best estimate of the total warranty costs over the duration of the warranty period. The included warranty is a performance warranty and does not represent a distinct performance obligation for revenue recognition. The rates range from 2% to 4%, depending on the type of product and warranty period.

4. Cash and cash equivalents Included in cash and cash equivalents is restricted cash of $54,249 in GICs as collateral for Toronto-Dominion Bank (TD) credit card facility and restricted cash related to tax deductions in Norway of $321,868.

On adoption of IFRS 16, the group recognised lease liabilities in relation to leases which had previously been classified as ‘operating leases’ under the principles of IAS 17 Leases. These liabilities were measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate as of January 1, 2019. The weighted average lessee’s incremental borrowing rates applied to the lease liabilities is 5%. The Company has also elected not to reassess whether a contract is or contains a lease at the date of initial application. Instead, for contracts entered into before the transition date the group relied on its assessment made applying IAS 17 and Interpretation 4 Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease.

The measurement of lease liabilities are as follows: Lease liability as at December 31, 2019

The computation of expected volatility is based on historical volatility of comparable companies from a representative peer group selected based on industry and market capitalization. The risk-free interest rate is based on a treasury instrument whose term is consistent with the expected life of the stock options. Management made an estimate of expected forfeitures and is recognizing compensation costs for only those equity awards expected to vest. The weighted average fair value of options granted in the year was $2.81 (granted in December 31, 2018 – $1.02). The fair value of the options granted for the year ended December 31, 2019 was estimated at the date of grant using the following assumptions: Risk-free interest rates

17. Financial instruments and fair values Measurement categories, fair values and valuation methods All receivables are held in a business model to collect contractual cash flows and are therefore measured at amortized cost. The following table shows the carrying values of assets and liabilities for each of these categories at December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The carrying value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities is considered to be a reasonable approximation of fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. The Company limits its exposure to credit risk by placing its cash and cash equivalents, with high credit rated financial institutions in Canada and Norway.

Market risk a) Foreign exchange risk Foreign exchange risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk on its cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, trade and other payables, and derivative contracts. The Company monitors forecasted cash flows in foreign currencies and attempts to mitigate the risk by modifying the nature of cash and cash equivalents held or by entering into foreign exchange forward contracts with Canadian chartered banks as hedges against the sales and purchases denominated in foreign currencies. The Company has not adopted hedge accounting. The Company also maintains cash balances in foreign currencies sufficient to meet obligations to foreign suppliers. Periodically, excess balances of foreign currency are converted to local currency to meet Canadian dollar cash requirements. Foreign exchange contracts are only entered into for purposes of managing foreign exchange risk and not for speculative purposes. There were no such contracts as at December 31, 2020. Balances in foreign currencies at December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 are as follows:

which assumes that the Company will continue operating in the foreseeable future and be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. Reference is made to the going concern section in note 1 in the Group disclosures.

Share-based payments The Company has a stock option plan. When equity-settled share-based payments are made to employees and directors, compensation expense is recognized based on the fair value of the equity instrument issued on the date of grant, over the vesting period of the equity instrument. Share-based payments to non-employees are measured at the fair value of the consideration received, or the fair value of the equity instruments issued/liabilities incurred, whichever is more reliably measurable. The fair value of share-based payments to non-employees is periodically re- measured until counterparty performance is complete, and any change therein is recognized over the period and in the same manner as if the Company had paid cash instead of paying with or using equity instruments. The cost of share-based payments to nonemployees that are fully vested and nonforfeitable at the grant date is measured and recognized at that date.

Auditor´s report

Annual report 2020

Corvus Energy

To the General Meeting of Corvus Energy Holding AS

Independent Auditor’s Report Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements Opinion We have audited the financial statements of Corvus Energy Holding AS, which comprise: •

The financial statements of the parent company Corvus Energy Holding AS (the Company), which comprise the balance sheet as at 31 December 2020, the revenue statement and statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the accounts, including a summary of significant accounting policies, and

•

The consolidated financial statements of Corvus Energy Holding AS and its subsidiaries (the Group), which comprise the consolidated balance sheet as at 31 December 2020, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of shareholders’ equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion: •

The financial statements are prepared in accordance with the law and regulations.

•

The accompanying financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Company as at 31 December 2020, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with the Norwegian Accounting Act and accounting standards and practices generally accepted in Norway.

•

The accompanying consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Group as at 31 December 2020, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU.

Basis for Opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with laws, regulations, and auditing standards and practices generally accepted in Norway, including International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company and the Group as required by laws and regulations, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in

PricewaterhouseCoopers AS, Sandviksbodene 2A, Postboks 3984 - Sandviken, NO-5835 Bergen T: 02316, org. no.: 987 009 713 VAT, www.pwc.no State authorised public accountants, members of The Norwegian Institute of Public Accountants, and authorised accounting firm

Annual report 2020

Corvus Energy

Independent Auditor's Report - Corvus Energy Holding AS

accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Other information Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises information in the annual report, except the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of the Board of Directors and the Managing Director for the Financial Statements The Board of Directors and the Managing Director (Management) are responsible for the preparation in accordance with law and regulations, including a true and fair view of the financial statements of the Company in accordance with the Norwegian Accounting Act and accounting standards and practices generally accepted in Norway, and for the preparation and true and fair view of the consolidated financial statements of the Group in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s and the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern. The financial statements of the Company use the going concern basis of accounting insofar as it is not likely that the enterprise will cease operations. The consolidated financial statements of the Group use the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with laws, regulations, and auditing standards and practices generally accepted in Norway, including ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
