Nature of Operations and Continuance of Business
Sunvault Energy, Inc. (the "Company) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on December 8, 2010 under the name 'China Green Clothing Inc.' The Company changed its name on April 29, 2011 to 'My Natural Baby Boutique Inc.', then to 'Organic Treehouse Ltd.' on January 5, 2012, and then to 'Sunvault Energy, Inc.' on May 24, 2013. The Company's previous business was in the wholesale and distribution of organic infant and toddler products which was discontinued on May 8, 2013. On February 19, 2014, the Company entered into a share purchase agreement to acquire 100% of the shares of 1454004 Alberta Ltd., which holds 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of CleanGen Power Corp. and 50% of the issued and outstanding shares of CleanGen Inc. CleanGen Inc. is a company based in Alberta, Canada that operates Cutting Edge Tire Recycling LP, CleanGen Aboriginal HR Services Ltd., and Coole Immersive Inc. (refer to Note 3). On April 11, 2014, the Company entered into a purchase agreement with 1301540 Alberta Ltd., an Alberta, Canada corporation, operating under the name Werkman Transport (refer to Note 4), to acquire its business operations. On July 15, 2014, the Company entered into a purchase agreement to acquire additional non-controlling interest of CleanGen Inc. (refer to Note 5). The Company's current business is to provide renewables integration into energy production, energy delivery, and energy consumption as well as transport services.
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations, and the attainment of profitable operations. As at December 31, 2015, the Company has a working capital deficiency of $5,164,666 and has accumulated losses of $11,876,858 since inception. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to allowance for doubtful accounts, valuation of inventory, valuation of intangible assets, the estimated useful lives and recoverability of property and equipment, valuation of assets held for sale, impairment of goodwill, write-off of site retirement obligation, stock-based compensation, capitalization of lease obligations, valuation of deferred revenue, and deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company's estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
|
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents.
The Company recognizes allowances for doubtful accounts to ensure accounts receivable are not overstated due to the inability or unwillingness of its customers to make required payments. The allowance is based on the business environment, historical bad debt expense, the age of receivables, and the specific identification of receivables the Company considers at risk. The Company reviews the adequacy of its allowance for doubtful accounts on a regular basis.
Inventory consists of shredded tire inventory and mulch inventory, and agriculture water tanks inventory, and is comprised entirely of finished products. Inventory is valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out method. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and selling costs.

Goodwill represents the excess of the acquisition price over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill is allocated at the date of the business combination. Goodwill is not amortized, but is tested for impairment annually, during the fourth quarter, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate the asset may be impaired. These events and circumstances may include a significant change in legal factors or in the business climate, a significant decline in the Company's share price, an adverse action of assessment by a regulator, unanticipated competition, a loss of key personnel, significant disposal activity and the testing of recoverability for a significant asset group.
The impairment testing is carried out in two steps. In the first step, the carrying amount of the reporting using including goodwill is compared with its fair value. When the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fairl vaue goodwill of the reporting unit is considered to be impaired and the second step is necessary.
If the total of the expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the goodwill, a loss is recognized for the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the goodwill. Establishing an implied fair value of goodwill requires the Company to make estimates for key inputs into complex valuation models and to apply significant judgment in the selection of estimates, assumptions and methodologies required to complete the analysis. Areas of judgment include, but are not limited to, development of multi-year business cash flow forecasts, the selection of discount rates, and the identification and valuation of unrecorded assets.
Licenses have been capitalized in accordance with ASC 350-30 "
Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – General Intangibles Other Than Goodwill
." The Company has not established an amortization policy as the licenses are not in use as at December 31, 2015. If the total of the expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, a loss is recognized for the excess of the carrying value over the fair value of the asset.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
A lease that transfers substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership is classified as a capital lease. At the inception of a capital lease, an asset and a payment obligation are recorded at an amount equal to the lesser of the present value of the minimum lease payments and the property's fair market value. Assets classified as capital leases are amortized using the declining balance method, over their estimated useful lives. All other leases are accounted for as operating leases and rental payments are expensed as incurred.
|
(j)
|
Impairment of Long-lived Assets
|
In accordance with ASC 360, "
Property, Plant, and Equipment
", the Company tests long-lived assets or asset groups for recoverability when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. Circumstances which could trigger a review include, but are not limited to: significant decreases in the market price of the asset; significant adverse changes in the business climate or legal factors; accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or construction of the asset; current period cash flow or operating losses combined with a history of losses or a forecast of continuing losses associated with the use of the asset; and current expectation that the asset will more likely than not be sold or disposed significantly before the end of its estimated useful life. Recoverability is assessed based on the carrying amount of the asset and its fair value which is generally determined based on the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and the eventual disposal of the asset, as well as specific appraisal in certain instances. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount is not recoverable and exceeds fair value.
|
(k)
|
Site Retirement Obligations
|
A site retirement obligation is recognized at the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the balance sheet date when the liability for a site retirement obligation is incurred and a reasonable estimate of the obligation is determinable. The best estimate of the site retirement obligation is the present value of the amount the Company would rationally pay to settle the obligation, or transfer it to a third party, at the balance sheet date.
When a liability is recognized, a corresponding site retirement cost is capitalized to the carrying amount of the related asset. The site retirement cost is amortized over the estimated useful life of the related asset or over the lease term.
The Company recognizes changes to the liability due to the passage of time in operating expenses, as accretion. Changes due to passage of time are calculated by applying an interest method of allocation using the discount rate used in the original calculation of the site retirement obligation. The Company recognizes changes to the liability arising from revisions to the timing, amount of expected undiscounted cash flows or discount rate as an increase or decrease to the carrying amounts of the site retirement obligation and the related site retirement capitalized cost.
For tires qualifying under the Alberta Recycling Management Authority ("ARMA") programs, tire collections revenue from ARMA is recognized when tires are picked up from customers. Revenue from ARMA for processing these tires is recognized when the tire shred is delivered to an approved location. Costs incurred to process these tires are recorded as inventory until delivery occurs.
For tires that do not qualify under ARMA programs ("non-program" tires), tire collections revenue is recognized when tires are received at the Company's premises and collectability is reasonably assured. Customers also pay a recycling fee for tires delivered to the Company's premises, which is recorded as deferred revenue. The Company recognizes the recycling fee revenue once the tires have been processed.
Revenue on sales of processed tires is recognized when a sale price is agreed, tire shred is delivered to the customer, and collectability is reasonably assured.
The Company derives further revenue from sand sales, wood recycling tipping fees, service rig training, transportation services, and software services. In accordance with ASC 605, "
Revenue Recognition"
, revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the amount is fixed and determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.
Management assesses the business environment, customers' financial condition, historical collection experience, accounts receivable aging, and customer disputes to determine whether collectability is reasonably assured. If collectability is not considered reasonably assured at the time of sale, the Company does not recognize revenue until collection occurs.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method in accordance with ASC 740, "
Income Taxes
". The asset and liability method provides that deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and for operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred income tax assets to the amount that is believed more likely than not to be realized.

|
Foreign Currency Translation
|
The Company's functional currency is the Canadian dollar and its reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. Management has adopted ASC 830, "
Foreign Currency Matters
". Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Average monthly rates are used to translate revenues and expenses. Gains and losses arising on translation of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in the consolidated statement of operations.
The Company uses the current rate method to translate the financial statements of its Canadian subsidiaries to its reporting currency. Accordingly, assets and liabilities are translated into US dollars at the period end exchange rate while revenue and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates during the period. Related exchange gains and losses are included in a separate component of stockholders' equity as accumulated other comprehensive income.

Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measures
|
ASC 820, "
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures
" requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument's categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC 820 prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1
Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2
Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.
Level 3
Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
The Company's financial instruments consist principally of cash, accounts receivable, restricted cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, amounts due to/from related parties, line of credit, loans payable, long-term debt, and convertible debt. Pursuant to ASC 820, the fair values of cash and restricted cash are determined based on "Level 1" inputs, which consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. The recorded values of all other financial instruments, except for convertible debt and long-term debt, approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective maturity dates or durations. The carrying amounts of convertible debt and long-term debt approximate fair value because they are priced at interest rates consistent with the Company's current borrowing rates on similar debt based on the security underlying the debt or the conversion features associated with the debt.

Stock-based Compensation
|
The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718 "Compensation – Stock Compensation" and ASC 505, "Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees", using the fair value method. All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measureable.
|
(q)
|
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
|
The Company computes earnings (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, "Earnings per Share". ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share ("EPS") on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing earnings (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. As at December 31, 2015, the Company has 12,078,644 (2014 – 4,378,849) potentially dilutive shares outstanding.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
|
In 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued new accounting guidance related to revenue recognition. This new standard will replace all current U.S. GAAP guidance on this topic and eliminate all industry-specific guidance. The new revenue recognition guidance provides a unified model to determine when and how revenue is recognized. The core principal is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration for which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This guidance will be effective beginning January 1, 2017 and can be applied either retrospectively for each period presented or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. The Company is evaluating the impact and approach to adopting this accounting guidance on the consolidated financial statements.
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
3. Acquisition of 1454004 Alberta Ltd.
On February 19, 2014, the Company entered into a share purchase agreement to acquire 100% of the shares of 1454004 Alberta Ltd. ("1454004"), which holds 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of CleanGen Power Corp. and 50% of the issued and outstanding shares of CleanGen Inc., in exchange for 19,500,000 shares of common stock of the Company. CleanGen Inc. is a company based in Alberta, Canada that operates Cutting Edge Tire Recycling LP, CleanGen Aboriginal HR Services Ltd., and Coole Immersive Inc.
The share purchase agreement was a capital transaction in substance and therefore has been accounted for as a reverse capitalization. Under reverse capitalization accounting, 1454004 was considered the acquirer for accounting and financial reporting purposes, and acquired the assets and assumed the liabilities of the Company. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed are reported at their historical amounts. These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company since the effective date of the recapitalization and the historical accounts of 1454004 since inception. 1454004 is deemed to be the continuing entity for accounting purposes.
