Pacific Green Technologies, Inc. (“Pacific Green”), (OTCQB: PGTK) has recently made some changes to its accounting policies, which will be reflected in its filings from December 2023. These changes have no impact on the company’s reported net income, cash balance, or net assets. The updates reflect a change in recognition of the consideration for the sale of Sheaf Energy Limited in December 2023, a grid-scale battery energy storage systems project worth $258 million, to Sosteneo Energy Transition Fund, managed by Generali. The company has determined that the $76 million consideration received from the sale, less costs of sale, should be recognized as a gain on disposal, rather than revenue.
In addition, Pacific Green has changed its accounting policy for capitalized project under development assets. These assets will now be classified as long-life assets in non-current assets, and will only be recognized as current assets when it is anticipated that the project sale will occur within 12 months. These changes have been made after consultations with the Securities and Exchange Commission Office of the Chief Accountant and the company’s independent auditors, Grant Thornton UK LLP.
Pacific Green is committed to financial transparency and these revisions underscore this commitment. The company is focused on addressing the world’s need for cleaner and more sustainable energy, offering grid-scale battery energy storage systems, renewable and environmental technologies. These changes in accounting policies will be reflected in future 10-K and 10-Q filings.
