September 30, 2017 and 2016

1.) Nature of the Business and Going Concern

Algae Dynamics Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act on October 7, 2008 as Converted Carbon of Canada Corp. On November 19, 2010, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to change its name to Converted Carbon Technologies Corp. and a further amendment was approved by the shareholders on August 28, 2014 to change the name to Algae Dynamics Corp.

The Company is conducting research through sponsored research agreements with two universities to support development of health products utilizing cannabis and algae oil. The Company’s planned principal operations are the development and sale of health products, design and development of a facility to extract botanical oils, and design, engineering and manufacturing of a proprietary algae cultivation system for the high-volume production of pure contaminant-free algae biomass.

The Company’s activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including failing to obtain patents and failing to secure additional funding to operationalize the Company’s current technology before another company develops similar technology.

These unaudited condensed interim financial statements have been prepared on the basis of a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company is in the development stage and has not yet realized profitable operations and has relied on non-operational sources to fund operations. The Company has suffered recurring losses and additional future losses are anticipated as the Company has not yet been able to generate revenue. In addition, as of September 30, 2017, the Company has a working capital deficiency of $975,986 (March 31, 2017 - $852,514) and an accumulated deficit of $6,338,384 (March 31, 2017 - $6,134,941). The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on successfully executing its business plan, which includes the raising of additional funds. The Company will continue to seek additional forms of debt or equity financing, but it cannot provide assurances that it will be successful in doing so. These circumstances raise substantial doubt as to the ability of the Company to meet its obligations as they come due and accordingly, the appropriateness of the use of accounting principles applicable to a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. Such adjustments could be material.

2.) Presentation of Financial Statements

Basis of Presentation

These unaudited condensed interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements for the Company’s most recently completed fiscal year ended March 31, 2017. These unaudited condensed interim financial statements do not include all disclosures required in annual financial statements, but rather are prepared in accordance with recommendations for interim financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). These unaudited condensed interim financial statements have been prepared using the same accounting policies, and methods as those used by the Company in the annual financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2017, except when disclosed below.

The unaudited condensed interim financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) which are necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as at September 30, 2017, and the results of its operations for the six month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 and its cash flows for the six month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016. Note disclosures have been presented for material updates to the information previously reported in the annual financial statements.

Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with US GAAP 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. Actual amounts could materially differ from these estimates. The significant areas requiring the use of management estimates are related to provision for doubtful accounts, accrued liabilities, contingencies, the valuation of deferred taxes, stock based compensation, warrants, convertible debt and intangible assets. Although these estimates are based on management’s knowledge of current events and actions management may undertake in the future, actual results may ultimately differ materially from those estimates.

2.) Presentation of Financial Statements (continued)

New Accounting Pronouncements

ASU No. 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes, was issued to simplify the classification of deferred taxes on the balance sheet. The new guidance would require that deferred taxes be classified as non-current assets and liabilities based on the tax paying jurisdiction. Application of the standard, which can be applied prospectively or retrospectively, is required for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2016 and for interim periods within that year. The adoption of the amended guidance on April 1, 2017 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

ASU No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments-Overall (Subtopic 825-10) - Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which addresses certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. Most notably, this new guidance requires equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. This new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) - On February 25, 2016, the FASB issued a new standard which requires lessees to recognize almost all leases on their balance sheet as a right-of-use asset and a lease liability. The new guidance will require the asset and liability to be initially measured at the present value of the lease payments in the statement of financial position. The new guidance will also require the company to recognize interest expense on the lease liability separately from the amortization of the right-use-asset for finance leases and recognize a single lease cost allocated on a straight-line basis over the lease term for operating leases, in the statement of comprehensive income. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years with early application permitted. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance to determine the impact it may have on the Company’s financial statements.

ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The ASU includes multiple provisions intended to simplify various aspects of the accounting for share-based payments. The areas of simplification in the update involve several aspects of accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows, however, some of the areas for simplification apply only to non-public entities. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. The guidance, as adopted on April 1, 2017, did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

2.) Presentation of Financial Statements (continued)

New Accounting Pronouncements (continued)

ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. The ASU provides clarity to preparers on the treatment of eight specific items within an entity’s statement of cash flows. The guidance becomes effective for all public entities in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods therein. The guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

ASU No. 2017-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting. The ASU amends the scope of modification accounting for share-based arrangements and provides guidance on the types of changes to the terms or conditions of share-based payment awards to which an entity would be required to apply modification accounting under ASC 718. The guidance becomes effective for annual reporting periods, including interim periods within those annual reporting periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. The guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

5.) Term Loans

(a) Term loan issued May 4, 2016

On May 4, 2016, the Company agreed to a term loan of $40,000 for bridge financing with a relative of one of the officers of the Company. The loan matured on November 30, 2017 and the terms specified a 30% premium to be paid at that time. The 30% premium is recognized as an expense over the term of the loan and is amortized on the condensed interim statements of operations. During the three and six months periods ended September 30, 2017, the Company accreted $777 and $1,553, respectively (2016 - $3,059 and $8,956, respectively). The loan was initially scheduled to mature on August 28, 2016 but an extension was agreed to with the same terms. The unsecured loan has been extended indefinitely until the Company has the appropriate liquidity to repay the initial loan plus the premium.

(b) Term loan issued August 18, 2017

In order to satisfy the repayment terms of the securities purchase agreement and convertible note (see Note 6b) GHS Investments, LLC (“GHS”) and the Company agreed to a short term loan which was paid in full by the Company in November of 2017.

6.) Convertible Notes

The carrying values of the Company’s secured convertible notes consist of the following as of September 30, 2017 and March 31, 2017 respectively:

6.) Convertible Notes (continued)

(a) Promissory Note

On February 14, 2017, the Company issued a USD$50,000 ($65,350) face value convertible promissory note, due August 15, 2017 to Salamon Partners LLC (“Salamon”) for net proceeds of USD$47,500. which consisted of the principal amount, net of transaction cost of US$2,500. The Salamon Note accrues interest at 12% per annum, payable in cash at maturity. However, the principal amount, plus accrued interest, may be converted at the option of the holder at any time during the term to maturity into shares of our common stock at a variable conversion price of 65% of market per share subject to adjustment for capital reorganization events and subsequent sales by the Company of shares of its common stock at a price per share below the conversion price of the Salamon note. The Salamon Note also embodies certain traditional default provisions that are linked to credit or interest risks, such as bankruptcy proceedings, liquidation events and corporate existence. The Company has concluded that the embedded conversion option is not indexed to our stock due to the variability in the conversion price and the down-round protection features afforded to the holder as well as the foreign exchange rate fluctuations. Therefore, the embedded conversion option is subject to classification in the financial statements in liabilities at fair value both at inception and subsequently pursuant to ASC 480-10-25-14. On August 15, 2017, the Company paid a total of USD$53,000 ($67,591) which consisted of the principal amount due USD$50,000 ($63,775) plus accrued interest USD$3,000 ($3,816). During the three and six month periods ended September 30, 2017, the Company recorded an accretion expense of $14,876 and $48,499, respectively (2016 - $Nil and $Nil, respectively) to amortize the discount to the carrying value of the note.

(b) Securities Purchase Agreement and Convertible Note

On November 18, 2016, the Company issued a USD$56,000 ($76,382) face value secured convertible note, due August 18, 2017 to GHS for net proceeds of USD$50,000 ($67,595). The GHS Note is secured and accrues interest at 12% per annum, payable in cash at maturity. However, the principal amount, plus accrued interest, may be converted at the option of the holder at any time during the term to maturity into shares of our common stock at variable conversion price of 62% of market per share subject to adjustment for capital reorganization events and subsequent sales by the Company of shares of its common stock price per share below the conversion price of the GHS Note. The GHS Note also embodies certain traditional default provisions that are linked to credit or interest risks, such as bankruptcy proceedings, liquidation events and corporate existence. The Company has concluded that the embedded conversion option is not indexed to our stock due to the variability in the conversion price and the down-round protection features afforded to the holder as well as the foreign exchange rate fluctuations. Therefore, the embedded conversion option is subject to classification in the financial statements in liabilities at fair value both at inception and subsequently pursuant to ASC 480-10-25-14. During the fiscal year, the Company repaid the convertible note in full (see Note 5b). During the three and six month periods ended September 30, 2017, the Company recorded an accretion expense of $10,078 and $45,854, respectively (2016 - $Nil and $Nil, respectively) to amortize the discount to the carrying value of the note.

(c) Convertible Note – issued June 21, 2017

On June 21, 2017, the Company commenced a financing of up to USD$500,000 of one-year 12% convertible notes. The notes are convertible at the option of the holder into common shares of the Company at a price of USD$0.25 per share, and are subject to mandatory conversion if the volume-weighted trading price of the common shares is greater than USD$1.00 per share for twenty consecutive trading days so long as the underlying shares may be resold in compliance with the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. In addition, the Company shall issue pro rata to the purchasers of the first USD$100,000 of notes an aggregate of 200,000 common shares as a commitment fee. On June 21, 2017, the Company issued two notes totaling USD$50,000 ($66,451). The Company also granted 200,000 common share purchase warrants to the holders of the USD$50,000 notes. Each warrant is exercisable into one common share at USD$0.50 for a period of five years. The Company has concluded that the embedded conversion option and warrants are not indexed to our stock due to the down-round protection features afforded to the holder and foreign exchange rate fluctuations. Therefore, the embedded conversion option and warrants are subject to classification in the financial statements in liabilities at fair value both at inception and subsequently pursuant to ASC 480-10-25-14. During the three and six month periods ended September 30, 2017, the Company recorded an accretion expense of $13,736 and $15,148, respectively (2016 - $Nil and $Nil, respectively) to amortize the discount to the carrying value of the note.

On June 21, 2018, the principals plus accrued interest were converted into common shares (560,000) at a price of USD$0.10 per share. The issuance of subsequent convertible notes (Note 6e) with an exercise price of USD$0.10 per share correspondingly reduced the exercise price for the June 21, 2017 convertible notes issued in accordance with the terms of the convertible notes.

(d) Convertibles Notes – issued July 25, 2017

On July 25, 2017, the Company added a second one-year 12% convertible note as a continuation of the financings commenced with the convertibles notes on June 21, 2017 (Note 6a). The amount of this convertible note is USD$50,000 ($62,535). The note is convertible at the option of the holder into common shares of the Company at a price of USD$0.25 per share, and is subject to mandatory conversion if the volume-weighted trading price of the common shares is greater than USD$1.00 per share for twenty consecutive trading days so long as the underlying shares may be resold in compliance with the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. In addition, the Company shall issue pro rata to the purchasers of the first USD$100,000 of notes an aggregate of 200,000 common shares as a commitment fee. The Company also granted 200,000 common share purchase warrants to the holder of the USD$50,000 note. Each warrant is exercisable into one common share at USD$0.50 for a period of five years. The Company have concluded that the embedded conversion option and warrants are not indexed to our stock due to the down-round protection features afforded to the holder and foreign exchange rate fluctuations. Therefore, the embedded conversion option and warrants are subject to classification in the financial statements in liabilities at fair value both at inception and subsequently pursuant to ASC 480-10-25-14. During the three and six month periods ended September 30, 2017, the Company recorded an accretion expense of $8,256 and $8,256, respectively (2016 - $Nil and $Nil, respectively) to amortize the discount to the carrying value of the note.

(d) Convertibles Notes – issued July 25, 2017 (continued)

On July 25, 2018, the principal plus accrued interest was converted into common shares (560,000) at a price of USD$0.10 per share. The issuance of subsequent convertible notes (Note 6e) with an exercise price of USD$0.10 per share correspondingly reduced the exercise price for the July 25, 2017, convertible note issued in accordance with the terms of the convertible note.

(e) Convertible Notes – issued August to November 2017

The Company issued several convertible notes on August 14, 2017 with a face value of USD$53,000 ($67,602), maturity date of October 13, 2017, September 18, 2017 with a face value of USD$10,000 ($12,238), maturity date November 20, 2017, October 27, 2017 with face value of USD$250,000 ($321,850), maturity date December 27, 2017, November 1, 2017 with face value of USD$20,000, maturity date January 2, 2018, ($25,770) and November 13, 2017 with face value of USD$25,000 ($31,833), maturity date January 15, 2018 for a total of USD$358,000 ($459,293). The notes have all matured two months after issuance and was converted into a total of 3,639,931 common shares at the conversion rate of USD$0.10. The Company issued 2,541,781 common shares during the fiscal year ending March 31, 2018 with the remaining 1,098,150 issued subsequent to March 31, 2018 (Note 13). The Company agreed to issue an additional 159,023 warrants with an exercise price of $0.75 and an expiry of January 2, 2020, in connection with conversions. During the period ended September 30, 2017, the Company recorded an accretion expense of $24,458 as the discount to the carrying value of the notes (2016 - $Nil).

Accounting for the Secured Convertible and Promissory Notes

The Company has evaluated the terms and conditions of the secured convertible notes issued on June 21, 2017 and July 25, 2017, under the guidance of ASC 815. Because the economic characteristics and risks of the equity-linked conversion options are not clearly and closely related to a debt-type host, the conversion features require classification and measurement as derivative financial instruments. The other embedded derivative features were also not considered clearly and closely related to the host debt instruments. Further, these features individually were not afforded the exemption normally available to derivatives indexed to a company’s own stock. Accordingly, the evaluation resulted in the conclusion that this compound derivative financial instrument requires bifurcation and liability classification, at fair value. The compound derivative financial instrument consists of (i) the embedded conversion features and the (ii) down-round protection features. Current standards contemplate that the classification of financial instruments requires evaluation at each report date.

6.) Convertible Notes (continued)

Discounts on the convertible notes arise from (i) the allocation of basis to other instruments issued in the transaction, (ii) fees paid directly to the creditor and (iii) initial recognition at fair value, which is lower than face value. The discount to the carrying value of the convertible notes is being amortized as a non cash interest expense over the term of the promissory note using the effective interest rate method. Amortization of discounts on the convertible notes in accretion expense amounted to $143,767 during the nine month period ended September 30, 2017 (September 30, 2016 - $8,956).

7.) Derivative Liability

The Company follows the provisions of ASC 820 with respect to our financial instruments. As required by ASC 820, assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to their fair value measurement. The derivative financial instruments which are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis under of ASC 815 as of September 30, 2017 and 2016 respectively, are all measured at fair value using Level 1 inputs. Level 1 inputs are observable inputs that are supported by market activity.

The compound embedded derivative and warrants were valued using a binomial-lattice-based valuation model. The lattice-based valuation technique was utilized because it embodies all the requisite assumptions (including the underlying price, exercise price, term, volatility, and risk-free interest-rate) that are necessary to fair value these instruments. For forward contracts that contingently require net-cash settlement as the principal means of settlement, the Company projects and discounts future cash flows applying probability-weighted to multiple possible outcomes. Estimating fair values of derivative financial instruments requires the development of significant and subjective estimates that may, and are likely to, change over the duration of the instrument with related changes in internal and external market factors. In addition, option-based techniques are highly volatile and sensitive to changes in the trading market price of our common stock. Because derivative financial instruments are initially and subsequently carried at fair values, the income will reflect the volatility in these estimate and assumption changes. The following table sets forth (i) the range of inputs for each significant assumption and (ii) the equivalent, or averages, of each significant assumption as of September 30, 2017:

Each warrant entitled the holder to purchase one common share at an exercise price of $1.12 for a period ranging from 2.15 to 3 years after the date of issuance. The fair value of the warrants at the date of grant of $19,290 was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, based on the following weighted average assumptions: expected dividend yield of 0%; risk free interest rate of 1.14%; expected volatility of 182%; and expected term of 2.85 years. The warrants were not exercised by the June 6, 2017 expiry date.

(b) Warrants (continued)

ii.) In connection with a consulting agreement with Connectus, Inc. (see Note 10), the Company granted 625,000 common share purchase warrants with each warrant entitling the grantee to acquire one common share in the capital of the Company at an exercise price of USD$0.04 ($0.054) at any time prior to April 1, 2017. Of the warrants granted, 300,000 vested on September 3, 2014 with the unvested portion vesting pro-rata for each USD$250,000 ($335,675) raised in an offering, fully vesting upon USD$1,500,000 ($2,014,050) being raised. The fair value of the 625,000 warrants at the date of grant of $500,000 was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, based on the following assumptions: expected dividend yield of 0%; expected volatility of 159%; risk free interest rate of 1.25%; and expected term of 3 years. On December 27, 2016, the Company extended the agreement and the expiry date of the warrants to December 31, 2017. On January 23, 2017, the Company approved the vesting of 100,000 warrants of which 50,000 were exercised on March 21, 2017. This leaves a balance of 275,000 warrants remaining under the contract of which 50,000 were exercisable at March 31, 2018 and March 31, 2017. The Company approved a further extension to the agreement to December 31, 2018, with the vested warrants being extended to March 31, 2019. The fair value of $5,100 of the warrants was estimated at September 30, 2018 using the Black-Scholes model, based on the following assumptions: expected dividend yield of 0%; risk free interest rate of 1.0%; expected volatility of 281%; and expected term of 0.25 years.

iii.) During the year ended March 31, 2017, the Company issued 900,000 warrants of the Company valued at $566,100 for services rendered. Each warrant entitled the holder to purchase one common share at an exercise price of USD$$0.65 ($0.82) for a period of 5 years after the date of issuance. The fair value of the warrants at the date of grant of $566,100 was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, based on the following weighted average assumptions: expected dividend yield of 0%; risk free interest rate of 1.09%; expected volatility of 140%; and expected term of 5 years. The fair value of $97,200 of the warrants was estimated at September 30, 2018 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, based on the following weighted average assumptions: expected dividend yield of 0%; risk free interest rate of 1.68%; expected volatility of 159.25%; and expected term of 4.30 years.

iv.) On June 21, 2017, the Company issued 200,000 warrants of the Company valued at $23,359 (USD$17,550), pursuant to the financing described in Note 6(c). Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one common share at an issue price of USD$0.50 for a period of 5 years after the date of issuance. The fair value of the warrants at the date of grant of $23,359 was estimated using the binomial-lattice-based valuation model, based on the following weighted average assumptions: stock price of USD$0.11; expected dividend yield of 0%; risk free interest rate of 1.28%; expected volatility of 223%; and expected term of 5 years.

v.) On July 25, 2017, the Company issued 200,000 warrants of the Company valued at $17,935 (USD$14,340), pursuant to the financing described in Note 6(d). Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one common share at an issue price of USD$0.50 for a period of 5 years after the date of issuance. The fair value of the warrants at the date of grant of $17,935 was estimated using the binomial-lattice-based valuation model, based on the following weighted average assumptions: stock price of USD$0.11; expected dividend yield of 0%; risk free interest rate of 1.90%; expected volatility of 226%; and expected term of 5 years. See valuation and assumption as at September 30, 2017 in Note 7

ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” indicates that warrants with exercise prices denominated in a currency other than an entity’s functional currency should not be classified as equity. As a result, warrants with a USD exercise price have been treated as derivatives and recorded as liabilities carried at their estimated fair value, with period-to-period changes in the fair value recorded as a gain or loss in the statements of operations.

The continuity of warrants for the period ended September 30, 2017 as follows:

	Number			Weighted Average
	of Warrants			Exercise Price
Balance, March 31, 2017		1,197,500		$	0.68
Issued		400,000		$	0.63
Expired, unexercised		(22,500	)	$	1.12
Balance, September 30, 2017		1,575,000		$	0.63

As at September 30, 2017, the fair value of the 1,575,000 (March 31, 2017 – 1,175,000) warrants exercisable was $161,083 (March 31, 2017 - $298,700) which was estimated using the option pricing models based on the assumptions mentioned in Note 8 b) ii.) to b) vi.).

Of this amount, $138,133 (March 31, 2017 - $236,200) was reflected as a liability as at September 30, 2017, representing the percentage of the fair value of the warrants that is equal to the percentage of the requisite service that has been rendered at September 30, 2017.

The warrant liability is classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy (See Note 12). The Company’s computation of expected volatility during the six months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 is based on the market close price of comparable public entities over the period equal to the expected life of the warrants. The Company’s computation of expected life is calculated using the contractual life.

The Company’s stock-based compensation program (the “Plan”) includes stock options in which some options vest based on continuous service. For those equity awards that vest based on continuous service, compensation expense is recorded over the service period from the date of grant. The maximum number of options that may be issued under the plan is floating at an amount equivalent to 15% of the issued and outstanding common shares, or 2,030,628 as at September 30, 2017 (March 31, 2017 – 2,000,628).

The total number of options outstanding as at September 30, 2017 was 695,000 (2016 – 930,000). No options were granted during the six months ended September 30, 2017.

10.) Commitments and Contingencies

The Company entered into a five year operating lease for office and production facilities. The lease commenced on December 1, 2013 and expires on November 30, 2018. The base monthly rental is $1,390 plus the Company’s estimated portion of property taxes and operating expenses which are currently $847 per month. The Company has agreed to extend the lease to November 30, 2021. Under the terms of the extended lease the base monthly rental is $1,853 in 2019, $1,946 in 2020, and $2,039 in 2021. The future commitments pursuant to this lease extension, including property taxes and operating expenses for the fiscal periods ending March 31 are:

For the three and six month periods ended September 30, 2017, occupancy costs related to this lease were $6,711 and $13,422 (2016 – $6,525 and $13,032).

On March 11, 2014, and as amended on July 18, September 3, 2014, September 5, 2014, December 31, 2015 and again on December 20, 2016, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with Connectus, Inc. (“Connectus”) to assist and advise the Company in matters concerning corporate finance and the Company’s current and proposed financing activities for the period commencing April 1, 2014 and ending December 31, 2014. Pursuant to this agreement, the Company agreed to issue to Connectus, 625,000 warrants of the Company. Each warrant is exercisable at USD$0.04 ($0.054) per share for a period of three years. Of the warrants granted, 300,000 vested on September 3, 2014 with the unvested portion vesting pro-rata for each USD$250,000 ($335,675) raised in an offering, fully vesting upon USD$1,500,000 ($2,014,050) being raised. During the year ended March 31, 2015, the President of Connectus became a director of the Company. On December 31, 2015, the Company extended the contract to December 31, 2016.

10.) Commitments and Contingencies (continued)

On April 23, 2014, the Company entered into employment agreements with three officers of the Company effective July 1, 2014. The initial contracts contain minimum aggregate commitments of approximately $427,000 per year for three years and additional contingent payments of up to approximately $600,000 in aggregate upon the occurrence of a change of control. As a triggering event has not taken place, the contingent payments have not been reflected in these financial statements. If employment is terminated by the Company other than upon a change of control or for just cause, the officers will be entitled to an amount equal to twelve months compensation including benefits, which shall be increased by one month for each full year of service completed. The employment agreements were amended whereby any salary from the commencement of the employment agreements has been waived until such a time when the Company is able to raise additional financing.

Salaries will be earned based upon the Company’s success in raising future capital in accordance with the following schedule:

Cumulative Funds Raised ¹		Effective Monthly Salary %
$	100,000		10.0	%
$	175,000		15.0	%
$	250,000		25.0	%
$	375,000		37.5	%
$	500,000		50.0	%
$	750,000		62.5	%
$	1,000,000		75.0	%
$	1,250,000		87.5	%
$	1,500,000		100.0	%

¹Cumulative funds raised is inclusive of all sources including without limitation capital raised, grants received, revenue recorded, debt raised, and assets sold. The 37.5% threshold was reached during the period ended September 30, 2017; however, the Company has further deferred any regular commitments for salaries until the Company has sufficient liquidity to sustain salary payments on an ongoing basis. The Board will on a periodic basis as funds are available make non regular payments.

11.) Related Party Transactions

Amounts receivable from an officer in the amount of $8,300 was recovered during the six month period ended September 30, 2017 from an amount of $17,656 previously offset by an allowance for doubtful accounts, leaving a remaining balance in the doubtful account of $9,356. The net amount receivable from two shareholders at September 30, 2017 was $6,906 (2016 - $22,995). The amount receivable is unsecured, non-interest bearing and repayable upon demand.

12.) Financial Instruments

(a) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not have sufficient cash resources to meet its financial obligations as they come due. The Company’s liquidity and operating results may be adversely affected if its access to the capital market is hindered, whether as a result of a downturn in stock market conditions generally or matters specific to the Company. The Company generates cash flow primarily from its financing activities and advances from shareholders. As at September 30, 2017, the Company had cash of $2,910 (March 31, 2017 - $87) to settle current liabilities of $1,027,176 (March 31, 2017 - $897,442). All of the Company’s financial liabilities other than the warrant liability of $138,133 (March 31, 2017 - $236,200), the term loan of $50,447 (March 31, 2017 - $48,894), the convertible notes of $120,646 (March 31, 2017 - $26,076), and derivative liability of $209,986 (March 31, 2017 - $260,677) have contractual maturities of less than 30 days and are subject to normal trade terms. The Company regularly evaluates its cash position to ensure preservation and security of capital as well as liquidity.

In the normal course of business, management considers various alternatives to ensure that the Company can meet some of its operating cash flow requirements through financing activities, such as private placements of common stock, preferred stock offerings and offerings of debt and convertible debt instruments as well as through merger or acquisition opportunities. Management may also consider strategic alternatives, including strategic investments and divestitures. As future operations may be financed out of funds generated from financing activities, the ability to do so is dependent on, among other factors, the overall state of capital markets and investor appetite for investments in the cannabis industry and the Company’s securities in particular. Should the Company elect to satisfy its cash commitments through the issuance of securities, by way of either private placement or public offering or otherwise, there can be no assurance that the efforts to obtain such additional funding will be successful, or achieved on terms favorable to the Company or its existing shareholders. If adequate funds are not available on favorable terms, the Company may have to reduce substantially or eliminate expenditures or obtain funds through other sources such as divestiture or monetization of certain assets or sublicensing (where permitted) of certain rights to certain of the Company’s technologies or products.

12.) Financial Instruments (continued)

(b) Concentration of credit risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash deposits. Cash deposits with a major Canadian chartered bank are insured by the Canadian Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $100,000. As at September 30, 2017, the Company held $2,910 (March 31, 2017 - $87) with a major Canadian chartered bank.

(c) Foreign exchange risk

The Company principally operates within Canada. The Company’s functional currency is the Canadian dollar and major purchases are transacted in Canadian dollars. Certain of the Company’s debt obligations are denominated in U.S. dollars. Management does not hedge its foreign exchange risk.

(d) Interest rate risk

As at September 30, 2017, the Company does not have any non-fixed interest-bearing debt. Management believes that the interest rate risk concentration with respect to financial instruments included in assets and liabilities has been reduced to the extent presently practicable.

(e) Derivative liability – embedded derivative and warrant liabilities

In connection with the consulting and investment agreements, the Company granted warrants to purchase up to 1,575,000 common shares of the Company as disclosed in Note 8(b). The warrants have an exercise price of USD$0.04 ($0.05) for Connectus warrants, USD$0.65 ($0.81) for Midtown warrants and USD$0.50 ($0.62) for the investment placed in June and July 2017. The Connectus warrants are exercisable at any time prior to December 31, 2018 (See Note 10), the Midtown warrants are exercisable at any time prior to January 16, 2022, the warrants for the investments undertaken in June are exerciseable prior to June 21, 2022 and the warrants for the investment undertaken in July are exerciseable prior to July 25, 2022. The warrants are accounted for as derivative liabilities because the exercise price is denominated in a currency other than the Company’s functional currency.

(e) Derivative liability – embedded derivatives and warrant liabilities (continued)

The table below sets forth a summary of changes in the fair value of the Company’s Level 3 financial liabilities (warrant derivative liability) for the periods ended September 30, 2017 and March 31, 2017:

	Six months ended			Year ended
	September 30, 2017			March 31, 2017
Balance at beginning of year	$	236,200		$	27,479
Derivative instruments granted or vested		41,294			633,000

See Note 8(b).

These instruments were valued using pricing models that incorporate the price of a share of common stock, expected volatility, risk free rate, expected dividend rate and expected estimated life. The Company estimated the value of the warrants issued for services using the Black-Scholes model and for convertible debt financings using the binomial-lattice-based valuation model. There were no transfers of assets or liabilities between Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3 during the periods ended September 30, 2017 and March 31, 2017.

The following are the key weighted average assumptions used in connection with the estimation of fair value as at September 30, 2017:

	September 30, 2017			March 31, 2017
Number of shares underlying the warrants		1,575,000			1,175,000

Company Overview

Algae Dynamics Corp (ADYNF) is focused on the development of proprietary research and products utilizing cannabis oil combined with other botanical and nutraceutical products. The original core of our product development strategy was the extraction of Omega-3 fatty acids from certain strains of algae with high concentrations of DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) to create various nutraceutical products. As a result of the many demonstrated health benefits of other botanical oils, most notably cannabis oil, we have developed a strategy aimed at developing products that combined the health benefits of cannabis oils and nutraceutical products, including algae oil. Capitalizing on the burgeoning demand for cannabis oil and other smoke-free alternatives to marijuana consumption, including for medicinal purposes, will help support our ongoing initiatives to create and market research-driven product formulations.

In December 2016, we announced a new initiative into the Canadian cannabis industry. We followed that announcement with a press release in March 6, 2018 announcing our intention to build shareholder value through the pursuit of several key initiatives. Over this period, we have continued to assess how to leverage the research and development which was originally focused on the commercialization of our proprietary BioSilo® algae cultivation system and we have decided to suspend our focus on the development of this proprietary technology. In the interim, we will source algae oil for our research-driven product formulations. By doing so, we have eliminated the immediate capital requirements for extraction and formulation equipment. We are now focused on entering into profit sharing business ventures with potential partners who have the appropriate Health Canada licenses to produce and sell medical cannabis formulated products, utilizing our patented formulations which combine cannabis oil and other nutraceutical products developed through our $1.69Million commitment to support the university research and previously announced C$400,000 research grant from MITACS, a not-for-profit, Canadian national research organization together with our sponsored research programs with Canadian universities (our Sponsored Research Programs).

Strategic Focus

During Health Canada’s consultations relating to the cannabis industry and related legislation, they heard many compelling personal stories of how cannabis is making a difference to Canadians living with serious health challenges such as cancer, HIV/AIDS, multiple sclerosis, arthritis and fibromyalgia. They also heard about the role that cannabis can play in pain management and palliative care, and the relief that cannabis, particularly strains with high levels of CBD and low levels of THC, offers to children with severe forms of epilepsy and how cannabis has enabled patients to limit or eliminate their use of powerful narcotic drugs such as opioids.

Algae Dynamics intends to undergo a significant rebranding exercise to ensure that it is able to communicate its emphasis on the application of cannabis. Beginning with a proposed name change to CanaQuest Medical Corp., our mission is to:

(i)	Identify with the help of our research partners appropriate formulations
(ii)	Acquire the lowest cost dry cannabis from domestic and international suppliers who have adequate logistics and warehousing capabilities to satisfy our requirements; and
(iii)	Continue discussions we have already commenced with contract manufacturers who have experience in conducting human trials and commercializing research and development as well as managing supply and risk management including through good manufacturing practices (GMP).

We expect our formulations involving both THC and botanical oil extracts will treat mental health ailments and the advent of our formulations is expected to significantly distinguish our approach from Licensed Producers who may not have strong relationships with the University research community which we believe we have cultivated over time through our business objectives. We believe our formulations may have significant potential applications in the treatment of anxiety, addiction, depression, schizophrenia, and post-traumatic stress disorder “PTSD” and will form a strong foundation to continue to seek other applications through our Sponsored Research Programs. Accordingly, we believe we have developed a strategy to maximize opportunities in an evolving industry that has international scope and opportunity, with Canadian talent through its universities providing a mechanism to make a significant difference in the lives of medical cannabis users.

Intellectual Property Protection

The Company is undertaking development & commercialization of cannabinoid therapeutic products from strains of cannabis to treat a variety of clinical indications. Through its relationship with Universities, the Company is collaborating to formulate proprietary solutions which significantly impact the effectiveness of cannabis compounds. In addition, we are looking to:

●	Combine the benefits of cannabis and other botanicals;
●	Enhance a highly effective suite of medicinal patented products; and
●	Utilize formulations which increase absorption capacity.

Competitive Advantage

We believe we have developed a competitive advantage relative to Licensed Producers who may have vertically integrated operations to produce medical applications for cannabis. In particular, we have shown progress in several key areas including:

Clinical Trials:

●	Clinical trial data using animal subjects performed by Dr. Laviolette, Western University, has shown positive results.
●	Our focus is targeted to areas that can provide positive, measurable feedback including anxiety, addiction, depression, schizophrenia and PTSD.
●	Our products are intended to balance THC with other botanical compounds to minimize the euphoric and related side effects.
●	We expect further product formulations and uses as our Sponsored Research Programs continue.

Relationships:

●	Focused studies by our research partners includes twelve years of cannabis compounding (THC, CBD)
●	Talented management and sustainability is evident through continuous development and talent retention including seven PhDs and three interns through our Sponsored Research Programs.

●	Our innovative approach to government funding, including the MITACS $400,000 research grant has built a reputable and collaborative approach between the private and public sector.
●	Our scientific rather than simply “claims-based” approach provides reviewable clinical data that is attracting attention from leading pharmaceutical firms and producers.
●	Our primary researcher at Western University, Ontario, Dr. Steve Laviolette, believes that the clinical implications and commercial potential for his formulations are highly significant and has concluded that “since cannabis is commonly prescribed for a host of ailments, including pain, nausea, glaucoma, multiple sclerosis, osteoarthritis, our formulation will again be hugely significant for the non-mental health patient sectors as well”.

University Affiliations:

Our strong and developing relationship with Western University positions us to execute on our business strategy and develop viable, useful products.

In particular, we believe researchers at Western University are:

●	Ahead of their field with over twelve years of cannabis compound (THC, CBD) research;
●	Have a strong understanding of the application of THC and CBD compounds to address pain, anxiety, addiction, depression, schizophrenia and post-traumatic stress disorder “PTSD”;
●	Equipped to realize the benefits of a novel proprietary formalizations they developed, and which are eligible for patents which the Company will secure through our research agreements;
●	In a position to leverage their platform established for ongoing novel formulations and produce relevant clinical trial data with significant results.

In addition, the researchers at the University of Waterloo are exploring other areas that have shown positive results for the use of cannabis including:

●	Colorectum, pancreas, breast and prostate cancer;
●	Ongoing R & D – mitigation of the spread of cancerous tumors; and
●	Combined application of natural botanicals, algae essential fatty acids, and cannabis oils.

Distribution

Our focus on distribution is intended to position us to meet demand for our formulations which is expected to occur through agreements with Licensed Producers with formulation, packaging and distribution/export (GMP facilities) together with international distribution agreements and strategies to distribute product both domestically and abroad.

Product Development

We are positioned to introduce products using both THC dominated formulations with other botanicals, including combinations with plant cannabinoids as well as CBD dominated formulations with other botanicals. We believe that a strategy of introducing a combination of compounds over time and in formulations that are correlated with observed benefits will allow us to penetrate and differentiate ourselves from competitors.

Licensed Producer Partnerships

We intend to pursue our business strategy through appropriate licensing arrangements with Licensed Producers. We believe our experience and focus on nutraceutical formulations in the past several years position us to execute this strategy through relationships we have formed and continue to develop.

Next Steps:

To fully exploit our competitive advantage, we intend to:

	●	Sign agreements with Licensed Producers/Distributors to sell medicinal cannabis domestically and Internationally
	●	Schedule cannabis deliveries from JMCC (signed Supply Agreement) for supply of high-volume dry medicinal cannabis to Licensed Producers/Distributors

	●	Initiate human trials to further support our research and animal clinical trial results
	●	Secure license from Health Canada for Purchase/Sale, Import/Export - the Cannabis Act (non-possession)
	●	Formalize agreement with Licensed Processor – GMP facility, to package and distribute formulations
	●	Secure funding and list on the Canadian Securities Exchange (CSE) – dual listing
	●	Build brand awareness for sales and export – scientifically supported
	●	Support Universities on-going product development - Uniqueness (scientific data)
	●	File Provisional Patent Product Applications

Medical Cannabis – History and Benefits

Cannabis, also known as marijuana, is a family of plants called Cannabaceae. There are over 700 varieties of cannabis that have been described to date. Based on characteristics such as shape, colour, height, smell, etc., usually recognised by two Main types: Cannabis Sativa, which originated in the Western hemisphere and Cannabis Indica, which originated in Central and South Asia. Cannabis as a medicine can be found in the oldest Chinese tradition few thousand years ago, and indications showed different therapeutics use such as for malaria, rheumatic pain, constipation, disorders of reproductive system and many others.

Medical Cannabis refers to the use of cannabis and its constituent cannabinoids to treat disease or improve symptoms such as pain, muscle spasticity, nausea and other indications. Cannabinoids is a blanket term covering a family of complex chemicals, both natural and man-made, that bind with cannabinoid receptors (protein molecules on the surface of cells) and effect a wide number of responses. Cannabinoid receptors in the human body are part of a system called the Endocannabinoid System. This system produces chemicals called endocannabinoids, which also bind with cannabinoid receptors. Cannabinoid receptors are found in the brain and throughout the body. Scientists have found that cannabinoid receptors in the Endocannabinoid System are involved in a vast array of functions in our bodies, including helping to modulate brain and nerve activity (including memory and pain), energy metabolism, heart function, the immune system and even reproduction. While there are a large number of active cannabinoids found in cannabis, the two most common currently used for medical purposes are THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) and CBD (cannabidiol).

Our proposed cannabis formulations and related nutraceutical products will generally utilize:

●	a multiple combination of plant strains to target medical ailments at the neurological level;
●	the use of cannabis extracted and concentrated cannabinoid oils which are known to provide targeted benefits together with botanical oils and Algae-omega3 essential fatty acids (DHA and EPA);
●	cannabis extracted and separated terpenes (aroma, additional medicinal benefits); and
●	cannabis “whole plant” oil – with natural concentrations of THC or CBD.

From research done in the field it has been concluded that THC acts on 2 types of cannabinoid receptors: CB1 and CB2. CB1 receptors are mainly found in the brain, peripheral nerves, and nervous system, whereas CB2 are found both in the neurons and immune cells. Evidence suggests that THC helps alleviate symptoms suffered both by AIDS patients and by cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy, by increasing appetite and decreasing nausea. The other main ingredient is CBD, a non-psychoactive component of cannabis which accounts for more than 50% of the known therapeutic applications A range of clinical studies indicated that CBD appears to relieve convulsion, inflammation, anxiety, nausea and short-term memory loss.

While THC has a strong binding affinity for both CB1 and CB2 receptors, CBD has no particular binding affinity. Instead, many of the therapeutic benefits of CBD are created through indirect actions. These actions include activating TRPV1 Receptors. These receptors are involved in regulating pain, body temperature, and inflammation. We believe based on our consultations with Dr. Steve Laviolette, that these properties of THC may make it more desirable than CBD alone as it directly and more effectively treats several of these ailments while CBD only has an indirect effect. This is because THC is similar to Endocannabinoids that have a similar structure to naturally occurring Endocannaboids which are also naturally released by neurons in the human body to regulate the release of neurotransmitters.

While THC is known to have a positive impact in stabilizing the release of neurotransmitters responsible for PTSD and pain, THC selectively targets molecular and neuropharmacological signaling pathways in both cortical and sub-cortical regions of the brain. In particular, the diminished functioning of GABAergic neurons in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) may lead to the loss of control of the PFC to regulate proper sub-cortical dopamine neurotransmission. The action of THC on CB1Rs can impair PFC-CB1R signaling and associated GABAergic functionality leading to dysregulation of the normal prefrontal process. This results in an increase in the extracellular glutamate levels and lower GABA which normally inhibits dopamine production. Understanding this process provides the potential for the development of safer cannabinoid-derived formulations using THC and/or the development of novel THC formulations containing neuroprotectants to mitigate these neuropsychiatric risks. Accordingly, our primary formulation combines THC with specified quantities of a specific botanical extract. While both are naturally occurring products, we believe that our formulation is sufficiently novel as it combines these compounds in specified quantities to create a different neurological result. The specific botanical extract is a unique amino acid and is known to cross the blood-brain barrier. In addition, it may regulate the extracellular glutamine concentration in the neurons and by doing so may properly regulate GABA levels and thus inhibit the release of dopamine. This same formulation may lead to THC replacing opioids: since the primary addictive effects of opioids are believed to be due to causing a long-term ‘switching on’ of overactive dopamine, our formula would be predicted to be superior to THC alone (which does cause overactive DA similar to opioids), in that our formula prevents this side effect of THC.

THC as a replacement for opioids: According to Dr. Steve Laviolette, “Since the primary addictive effects of opioids are believed to be due to causing a long-term ‘switching on’ of overactive dopamine, our formula would be predicted to be superior to THC alone (which does cause overactive DA similar to opioids), in that our formula prevents this side effect of THC.”

This is because THC is similar to Endocannabinoids that have a similar impact in structure to naturally occurring Endocannaboids which are naturally released by neurons to regulate the release of neurotransmitters.

Competitive Landscape

The future of medical cannabis lies in medically accepted products for the management of neuropathic pain, hypertension, post-stroke neuroprotection, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, cancer, and other disorders. An example list of publicly traded companies that have entered or are intending to enter the medicinal cannabis markets are listed as follows:

●	Aphria Inc (Canada Licensed Marijuana producer),
●	Aurora Cannabis (producer of Cannabis and medicinal solutions following its acquisition of Cannabid Inc.), Bedrocan Cannabis Corp Canada (Pharmaceutical grade medicinal cannabis), Mettrum Health Corp Canada (Licensed producer of medical cannabis),
●	OrganiGram Holdings Inc (Canada Licensed producer of organic medical marijuana),
●	Tweed Marijuana Inc. (Canada Licensed producer of medical cannabis),
●	Cannabis Science, Inc (USA OTC traded biotech company in Colorado),
●	Medical Marijuana Inc USA (OTC traded business solutions and partnerships),
●	GW Pharmaceuticals plc UK & USA (Owns a patented (MS) product – Sativex.).

We believe that while there is significant growth in this sector, our patented processes will continue to differentiate us and position us to succeed in this market.

Sponsored Research Programs

In order to support our mission, we have engaged two prominent Canadian universities to provide research and product development in the use of extracts from cannabis oil and algae oil in the context of cancer, and the development of novel pharmacotherapies for mental health, as follows:

1) Dr. Steven Laviolette, BSc, PhD (Addiction Research Group, Dept. of Anatomy & Cell Biology, Dept. of Psychiatry, Canadian Institute for Military and Veterans Health Research), Western University - to perform research and product development on cannabis oil and its constituents in the context of depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety and schizophrenia.

2) Dr. Jonathan Blay, PhD, FRSB, FIBMS, Csci, CBiol (Professor of Pharmacy, University of Waterloo, Professor of Pathology, Dalhousie University), the University of Waterloo – to perform research and product development on cannabis oil and its constituents in the context of the development and treatment of the colorectum, pancreas, breast and prostate cancers.

Each research program is a sponsored research program in which the Company pays an agreed amount to each university and in return receives the benefits of the research and the right to acquire the associated intellectual property, based on an agreed fixed payment with no ongoing royalties. The sponsored programs run for three years at the University of Waterloo, at a cost of C$600,000 over the three-year life, and for four years at Western University, at a cost of C$1,000,000 over the life of the program.

Western University in Ontario has made significant progress in its research into anxiety, depression, schizophrenia, and post-traumatic stress disorder, drawing on twelve years of cannabis compound research. We believe this work will continue to result in patentable formulations utilizing cannabis oils and other nutraceutical products which we intend to commercialize, license and distribute. Collaborating with prominent Canadian universities is a core part of our plan to develop premium products and add to our portfolio of intellectual property. Through our Sponsored Research Programs, the Company is focusing primarily on the use of extracts from cannabis oil and nutraceutical products for the development of new pharmacotherapies in the context of cancer and for mental health and pain relief. Our intention is to utilize these patents to partner with licensed producers qualified under the Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes Regulations (or ACMPR) and the Cannabis Act (collectively, Licensed Producers or LPs) to provide a secure source of cannabis plant material and to jointly produce patented formulated products for sale by the Licensed Producer. The Cannabis Act contains details of the application requirements for licenses and permits, which are similar in nature to the requirements of the ACMPR.

Our near-term goal is to obtain brokerage revenue from the sale of medicinal cannabis to Licensed Producers/Distributors from Jamaican Medical Cannabis Corporation (“JMCC”) our Collaboration/Cultivation Partner (signed Master Supply Agreement) for supply of high-volume dry cannabis.

Our goals also include expanding research and development work with existing and new Canadian universities, securing supply/service agreements with Licensed Producers, and submitting an application to Health Canada to acquire the necessary licenses to market and sell cannabis and cannabis related medical products as necessary to implement our business objectives. The management team leading these initiatives together with our proposed collaboration partners have the relevant experience ranging from public company management and process experience to successful fund raising and commercialization. We believe that the commercialization of these formulations will lead to significant revenue generating opportunities

In our view, there is a significant market for formulations involving compounds derived from cannabis strains together with other nutraceutical products. There is research to support that Cannabinoid receptors which are part of the endocannabinoid system of the human body and the primary focus of the application of cannabis derived oil compounds as well as algae, are involved in a variety of physiological processes including appetite, pain-sensation, mood, and memory. Accordingly, the Company is generally focused on penetrating the medical marijuana industry both domestically and internationally and believes that its formulations, backed by scientific research produced through its Sponsored Research Programs, will augment the demand and enhance the credibility of medical marijuana products.

Recent Developments in our Commercialization Strategy

As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company, through its Sponsored Research Programs, has developed a very unique formulation involving cannabis and other nutraceutical products. We have submitted provisional patent applications for these formulations. The intellectual property (IP) protection of our formulations through appropriate patents will position us to formalize negotiations and eventually enter into domestic and international production and distribution agreements with Licensed Producers, or their equivalent in other jurisdictions. Our discussions with LPs have included production, distribution and related collaborative initiatives involving our specially formulated products and we are confident that the necessary agreements will be negotiated and executed over time so that our formulations can be introduced into the marketplace and complement or expand an increasingly attractive market for medicinal and health related cannabis applications. LPs we have spoken with to date have expressed significant interest but need to evaluate the strength of our patents and related formulations before finalizing licensing and related documentation. However, based on these discussions, we are confident that we will be able to establish relationships with business partners who understand the importance of scientifically backed medicinal cannabis products and the approach taken by Dr. Steven Laviolette, who is the primary researcher at Western University under our Sponsored Research Program and whose formulations will likely be marketed under a new brand name which is still to be determined.

We believe we have the potential to secure a very strong patent for our first formulation (which combines THC and nutraceutical products), to treat mental health ailments. We believe that our new brand will provide us with a strong name brand and trademark to identify our formulations to the public and build brand awareness. In addition, we believe the fact that the combination of active ingredients in our formulations is scientifically backed by Dr. Laviolette’s research should distinguish us from our competitors. We believe these formulations have significant potential applications in the treatment of anxiety, addiction, depression, schizophrenia, and post-traumatic stress disorder “PTSD” based on his research on animals. Dr. Steven Laviolette, Western University, has indicated to us that, “Since cannabis is commonly prescribed for a host of ailments, including pain, nausea, glaucoma, multiple sclerosis, osteoarthritis, our formulations will again be hugely significant for the non-mental health patient sectors as well.”

We have three potential formulations – which we have termed the “F” Platforms and two provisional patents which we have filed.

F1 – a unique THC + botanical extract formulation which mitigates or eliminates the negative side-effects of THC: e.g. anxiety, depression, paranoia, cognitive/memory deficits. We expect F1 to be an alternative to opioids, thus addressing addiction and dependence and effective for pain management.

F2 – a unique CBD + select nutraceutical/dietary additives aimed at synergizing the therapeutic properties of CBD in the treatment of anxiety, depression, schizophrenia, PTSD (chronic stress induced) and addiction.

F3 – expansion of research and discovery of the novel formulations utilizing other cannabinoids in addition to THC and CBD will unravel specialized applications for targeted therapies in specific mental health symptom clusters.

Capital Requirement

In order to execute on our strategy as described above, we estimate an initial capital requirement of US$5.0 million to support activities over the following twelve months, including the following:

	1.	Payment to the universities to support the sponsored existing and the new research programs

	2.	Application to Health Canada for sale import/export license under the Cannabis Act

	3.	Professional and other fees in connection with the development of our strategy, negotiations and formalizing agreements with our collaboration partners

	4.	Expenditures related to Human Trials of F1 formula

	5.	Purchase of cannabis

	6.	Working capital to support ongoing operations and research

We have engaged investment bankers to assist with raising the required capital.

Legal and Business Context

The Company’s business of the development of unique health products and pharmaceuticals that utilize hemp and cannabis oils is rigorously regulated. Legal access to medicinal cannabis or medical marijuana has been a gradual and regulated process in Canada, which started as early as 1999 with the granting of exemptions under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act (Canada). Following successful court actions in which patients reliant on medical marijuana won legal recognition of their rights to access marijuana as a medicine, the Federal Government implemented the Marijuana Medical Access Regulations (MMAR) in 2001. The MMAR created an initial regime for individuals with a prescription from their health care practitioner in the required form, to possess and use medical marijuana which they grew themselves, or which they purchased from designated producers or a Health Canada supplier.

In general, this regime of supply was restrictive, and faced continuing court challenges from users, eventually leading to the implementation of the Marijuana for Medical Purposes Regulations (MMPR) in June 2013, providing for an expansion of supply based on a regulated private industry of licensed producers of medical marijuana.

Over time, court challenges were also mounted to the restrictions in the MMPR, which initially restricted the products made available by Licensed Producers to only dried marijuana. In 2015, the Supreme Court of Canada held that the restriction making only dried medicinal marijuana available to patients was unconstitutional. In response, the Federal Government broadened the scope of available licenses for Licensed Producers to include the production and sale of cannabis oils as well as fresh marijuana leaves and buds.

The ACMPR which was introduced to address these issues provided a more advanced and rigorous regulatory regime for the production, distribution and sale of medical marijuana in Canada, and regulated and contemplated the sale of medical marijuana by Licensed Producers to jurisdictions outside of Canada where the use and sale of medical marijuana and derivatives thereof are legally sanctioned. The ACMPR, like prior regulations, requires patients seeking medical marijuana to obtain medical approval from their health care practitioner and to provide a medical document to a Licensed Producer and have simplified the requirements of the MMPR, offering easier access to medical marijuana in Canada.

The Cannabis Act was passed by the Senate of Canada on June 19, 2018. On June 20, 2018, the Government of Canada officially announced that the production, distribution and sale of cannabis for unqualified adult use will become legal on October 17, 2018, and subsequently on June 21, 2018, the Cannabis Act received royal assent. The commitment by the Government of Canada to implement the Cannabis act did occur on October 17, 2018. On June 27, 2018, Health Canada established regulations under the Cannabis Act (the “Cannabis Regulations”). As a result, individuals who currently rely upon the medical cannabis market to supply their medical cannabis and cannabis-based products may cease this reliance, and instead turn to the adult-use cannabis market to supply their cannabis and cannabis-based products. The Company believes that its formulations will provide it with a competitive advantage in this market since they will be backed by scientific research and complement or enhance the use of existing medicinal marijuana products. However, the Company will need to ensure that it together with its collaboration partners remain in compliance with the Cannabis Act which provides a licensing and permitting scheme for the production, testing, packaging, labelling, sending, delivery, transportation, sale, possession and disposal of cannabis, which is implemented by the Cannabis Regulations. Provincial legislation will also implement measures authorizing the sale of cannabis that has been produced by a person authorized under the Cannabis Act to produce cannabis for commercial purposes. The licensing, permitting and authorization regime is implemented by the Cannabis Regulations. The Cannabis Act contains some details of the application requirements for licenses and permits, which are similar in nature to the requirements of the ACMPR (e.g. they include requirements for financial information, security information and security clearances). Below are additional highlights of the Cannabis Act:

●	set a national minimum age of purchase of 18;
●	apply comprehensive restrictions to the advertising and promotion of cannabis and related merchandise;
●	allow limited promotion in areas accessible by adults, similar to those restrictions under the Tobacco Act (Canada);
●	require plain packaging for cannabis products that only display the producer company name, strain name, price, amounts of THC and cannabidiol (CBD), and warnings and other labelling requirements;

●	impose strict sanctions on false or misleading promotion as well as promotion that encourages excessive consumption, where promotion is allowed;
●	impose requirements to protect children;
●	impose a price and tax scheme based on potency to discourage purchase of high-potency products;
●	prohibit mixed products, for example cannabis-infused alcoholic beverages or cannabis products with tobacco, nicotine or caffeine; and
●	allow for personal cultivation for non-medicinal purposes of up to four plants per residence subject to additional local and safety requirements.

The actual formulation of each product will be contracted to a third party with the approved Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) facilities and is not expected to be a prescription medication provided the addition of a nutraceutical product to cannabis oils is permitted under the provisions of the Cannabis Act which appear to permit the combination of a cannabis product with “chemical contaminants” that are within accepted tolerance limits for herbal medicines under Schedule B to the Food and Drugs Act. Our understanding is that the components within the formulation are all-natural products and have all been individually approved by Health Canada.

If permitted, our intention is to initially distribute the formulation as a cannabis product for medical purposes (with no Drug Identification Number or DIN) and we expect the formulation will need to be obtained via a health care practitioner’s authorization for human use and cannot be provided with any health claims requiring a premarket review for safety and efficacy.

In the event the Company is unable to produce and market the product without a DIN, the Company will need to seek to obtain a Drug Identification Number (DIN) for its formulations which will also enable the Company to market such formulations with health claims that will be subject to premarket authorization by Health Canada. In such case, we will need to commence clinical trials in accordance with Health Canada standards and would expect to do so with collaboration partners. Sponsors seeking to conduct clinical trials with cannabis, using either human or animal subjects, must also receive authorization under the Food and Drugs Act. In order to receive authorization, sponsors must file a clinical trial application to Health Canada or receive an Experimental Study Certificate for certain veterinary research purposes.

We will also explore qualification of certain formulations we plan to introduce under the Natural Health Product Regulations in Canada as they evolve to incorporate the use of cannabis products. Under the updated regulations, which come into effect on October 17, 2018, Natural Health products (NHPs) can only contain cannabis parts which either do not meet the definition of cannabis in the Cannabis Act, or that have been exempted from the Cannabis Act through the Industrial Hemp Regulations (IHR). These ingredients are: Non-viable seeds or roots of the cannabis plant, Mature cannabis stalks without leaves, flowers, seeds, or branches, Fiber derived from such a stalk and Hemp derivatives that are compliant with the IHR. In addition, these ingredients must not contain more than 10 parts per million THC, or phytocannabinoids that have been isolated or concentrated. The determination of THC concentration must take into account the potential to convert the acid form into the active form (e.g. delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCA) into delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC)).

Finally, we may also explore the distribution of our products for adult-use if permitted by Health Canada and once the regulations for edible products are finalized, however this distribution channel (as with other recreational marijuana products) restricts our ability to provide product literature or other information to health practitioners and could therefore be a limited strategic alternative as the market for medicinal marijuana develops.

Liberalizing Regulatory Environment and Competitive Conditions

According to Health Canada, more than 98,000 patients had enrolled with Licensed Producers under the ACMPR regime by September 30, 2016. Health Canada also indicates that, as of September 30, 2016, the average amount of dried marijuana for medical purposes authorized per client was 2.6 grams per day. For further information, see the Health Canada website at: http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/dhpmps/marijuana/info/market-marche-eng.php.

Further information has recently been released by Canada’s Parliamentary Budget Officer (the “PBO”) in its November 1, 2016 report, which estimates that, in 2018, an estimated 4.6 million individuals aged 15 and over will use cannabis at least once, representing 655 metric tons of cannabis. This number could rise to 5.2 million individuals by 2021, representing 734 metric tons of cannabis. The PBO stated that the pre-tax price of legal cannabis is projected to be between $6.67 and $8.33 per gram, with a mid-point estimate of $7.50. For further information, see “Legalized Cannabis: Fiscal Considerations”, authored by the Office of the PBO and dated November 1, 2016.

Regulatory Pathway

The components of our current proposed formulations are all-natural ingredients that can be considered both as food and natural health product ingredients. There are multiple options for bringing these combination cannabis products to market given the current and proposed regulations for cannabis and self-care products.

Health Canada recently released “Proposed Regulations Amending the Cannabis Regulations (new classes of cannabis) and Proposed Order Amending Schedules 3 and 4 to the Cannabis Act”. These proposed changes introduce three new classes of cannabis products: edibles, concentrates and topicals.

The introduction of these new classes will allow the Company to bring combination products to market as adult-use edible cannabis products. It is proposed that only approved food ingredients and additives will be permitted for use in this class of products. Although health claims are not permitted on this type of product, this commercialization option represents the fastest route to market and allows for distribution through both healthcare practitioner-facilitated medical-use channels and recreational channels.

Currently the only commercialization option that is allowed for making health claims and the distribution of literature to healthcare practitioners is as a prescription cannabis drug. This route requires evidence from human clinical trials that demonstrates the safety and efficacy of the products to allow for premarket authorization by Health Canada. Two cannabis drug products have received Health Canada authorization thus far. To commence a clinical trial program, we will collaborate with experienced partners who are able to obtain the No Objection Letter for the conduct of the studies and the Cannabis Research License required by Health Canada. Building a portfolio of clinical research data on our products will require time; however, has the benefit of gaining broader market acceptance and possibly inclusion on drug formularies approved by insurance providers.

Health Canada has indicated that further research is required before they will consider authorizing the inclusion of cannabis in self-care products (natural health products, over-the-counter drugs). Health Canada has also published proposed changes to the regulatory framework of self-care products with a plan to issue targeted changes to the Food and Drug Act in early 2019 for public consultation. Although these regulatory changes may not have a direct impact on the oversight of cannabis products at this time, they may open the possibility of an expedited regulatory pathway should an additional category for cannabis self-care products be added in time. Self-care products also require substantiating evidence for efficacy and safety derived from human clinical trials. In commencing a clinical trial program, the Company will be poised to capitalize on any changes that will facilitate the self-care market by already obtaining data to support health claims.

Markets

We believe that our focus on development of product formulations that utilize both cannabis oil and nutraceutical products, including algae oils, is a niche strategy that will give us a unique market position. While we believe that this strategy is a natural extension of existing, rapidly growing markets, there is limited data available to measure the market opportunity. With that in mind, what follows is a discussion about the cannabis oil market and the algae oil market.

Market for Cannabis Oil

The Canadian oil extraction marketplace is forecast to grow from C$1 million in 2015 to C$1.7 billion in 2020, assuming full legalization in 2018. In terms of conversion from dried marijuana to extracts/oil, due diligence has been conducted on the Colorado market, finding that 45% of dried marijuana users would eventually convert to marijuana extracts/oil. The Company assumes the market would gradually reach an approximate 45% conversion rate by 2018. Source: Mackie Research Capital Corporation, April 8, 2016 – MRCC Estimates. In addition, it is estimated that there will be 630,000 (1.7% of the population) registered medical marijuana patients in Canada by 2024, resulting in annual demand of approximately 230,000 kilograms. In 2018 it is estimated the demand by medical marijuana patients will be roughly 95,000 kilograms. Based on these forecasts, it is estimated that by 2024, the value of the Canadian medical marijuana market could be $1.9 billion to $2.6 billion. (source: Mackie Research Capital Corporation (“MRCC”). September 20, 2017). In addition, Germany and Australia and an increasing number of countries are legalizing medical marijuana, like Canada did in 1999, and government officials are making public statements suggesting that the prohibition of marijuana is ineffective policy from a public health, fiscal and social justice perspective. Licensed Canadian companies have considerable operational experience, which can be leveraged to pursue high growth opportunities in the increasing number of federal licensing opportunities in international markets.

Market for Algae Oil

The market data for algae oil is brief since our plan is to utilize algae oil in our products largely to the extent that it complements our products that contain cannabis oil. We have suspended the development of our BioSilo® algae cultivation system. However, we believe that there is still scope to leverage the research and expertise gained from our understanding of the medical properties and use of algae oil. In particular, studies have shown that EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), which are long-chain omega-3 fatty acids, are important for proper fetal development, including neuronal, retinal, and immune function. EPA and DHA may affect many aspects of cardiovascular function including inflammation, peripheral artery disease, major coronary events, and anticoagulation. EPA and DHA have been linked to promising results in prevention, weight management, and cognitive function in those with very mild Alzheimer’s disease. Source: Advances in Nutrition -An International Review Journal January 2012. We believe we can utilize these compounds in our formulations to further enhance their medicinal benefit.

Cannabis by itself has long been used for medical purposes and in recent decades has gained significant traction in becoming a common and preferred treatment for specific ailments. Cannabis is one of the fastest growing industries in North America. The Company’s new strategic initiative will seek product development and formulation opportunities that combine the benefits of botanical oils and cannabis oils and other nutraceutical products.

The Company’s core product development strategy has been previously focused on the production of high-volume specific algae species and extraction of Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) which is the foundation of the endocannabinoid system (ECS). The ECS is a group of endogenous cannabinoid receptors located in the mammalian brain and throughout the central and peripheral nervous systems, consisting of neuromodulatory lipids and their receptors. The extracted algae Omega 3 oil with high concentrations of DHA and EPA is used as a health supplement product. In light of the potential synergies, the Company will continue to develop its strategy to create products and formulations that combine the health benefits of cannabis oils and algae oils.

The following are some of the health benefits of algae and cannabis that the Company intends to research further to potentially combine into synergistic products:

Algae Omega-3	Cannabis
Detoxes heavy metals and toxins	Reduces stress and anxiety
Supports immune system	Reduces glaucoma and prevents macular degeneration
Fights cancer	Prevents certain cancers
Detoxifies radiation and chemotherapy	Relives pain
Lowers cholesterol and blood glucose levels	Increases appetite
Improves cardiovascular function	Stimulates antioxidant processes
Improves cognitive functioning	Fights multiple sclerosis and schizophrenia
Fights Alzheimer’s disease	Fights neurodegenerative disorders
Reduces antiplatelet effects	Reduces migraines and headaches
Reduces major coronary events	Fights epilepsy
Acts as an anti-inflammatory agent	Fights obesity and metabolic syndrome
Improves memory	Fights anorexia and osteoporosis

Sales and Distribution

We intend to develop marketing channels including but not limited to website promotion, medical doctors, product distributors, as appropriate and in compliance with the regulatory requirements. Initially, we intend to manufacture and sell our product formulations mainly through Licensed Producers and target patients, medical doctors, and product distributors, subject to regulatory requirements and restrictions including on the promotion and labelling of medical marijuana products. The Company intends to build brand awareness by working with brand/marketing management professionals, specializing in the medical health market, to have packaged products available for sale to customers.

We believe our efforts are starting to derive significant benefits and moving our business plan forward, particularly since our potential partners appear to be seeing the significant value in our first patented product formulation which has been developed as a result of the Sponsored Research Agreement with Dr. Steve Laviolette and Western University. While we were not able to move forward with certain arrangements with Licensed Producers (including 6779264 Manitoba Ltd dba Bonify as previously reported), there have been important developments with several other licensed entities who we may partner with us as follows:

Strategic International Licensed Producer: We have executed a Master Cannabis Supply Agreement for medical cannabis product supply with a strategic international licensed grower and producer – GMP facility that has access to a significant supply of low-cost dry cannabis product. As well, the grower is locally licensed to facilitate the processing and distribution of our medicinal cannabis products internationally, subject to regulatory approvals.

Licensed Producers: We have engaged in several discussions with major Licensed Producers/Distributors to sell medicinal cannabis domestically and internationally (supplied by our Strategic International Licensed Producer). As well, these companies are reviewing the strength of our IP to potentially facilitate the processing and distribution of our formulations because our formulated products do not compete with their product lines.

Licensed Processor/Pharmaceutical Company: We have engaged in several discussions with a major pharmaceutical company, international distributor and GMP manufacturer who has provided highly positive feedback of the approach Dr. Laviolette has adopted in his research and pre-clinical animal trials, the depth of research and the effective integration of the various research departments at Western University. We believe we can leverage their expertise with multiple formulations, delivery systems for improved bioavailability, including by integrating our formulation into soft gels and tablets for timed release of the formulations. We would also expect to take advantage of their supply, processing and distribution capabilities and collaborate further on R & D and human trials for our formulations.

We have reviewed our strategy and believe it is more efficient to partner with existing Licensed Producers who have facilities compliant with good manufacturing practices (GMP) necessary for the preparation of our formulations. Additionally, we are seeking our own purchase/sales, import/export license without possession under the Cannabis Act to distribute formulations and develop our brand as permitted under the Cannabis Act Regulations. We have included a full description of the cannabis-related licensing process at the end of this Business Description section for further information and disclosure. We do not require similar special licensing with respect to algae related sales.

The Company’s strategy to achieve revenue can be summarized as follows:

●	We expect revenue generation in the near term from high volume dry medical cannabis sales and have signed a Supply Agreement for that purpose.
●	We expect to generate additional revenue from our formulated products through our agreements with licensed partners.
●	We expect to provide a very specialized and unique patentable product, with more novel and patentable products to be produced over time,
●	We expect to secure a robust sales and distribution network and expand the network over time,
●	We expect to identify worldwide markets for our formulations,

While we have been in business since 2008, we have not generated any revenues to date. Our activities have been principally directed towards development of our BioSilo® algae cultivation system, as well as proving the ability of the system to scale to a level sufficient to meet commercial demand that may develop. The change in the strategy has been very much assisted by the knowledge gained from the algae cultivation plus the relationships which we have developed. The revised strategy is being very well received by suppliers and distributors as there are a number of firms who have expressed an interest to supply cannabis material for our products and to distribute it given that it has a strong basis in science and research performed through our Sponsored Research Program. These firms are also willing to enter into agreements to market the formulated product.

The Company is in the development stage and has not yet realized profitable operations and has relied on non- operational sources to fund operations. The Company has suffered recurring losses and additional future losses are anticipated as the Company has not yet been able to generate revenue. In addition, as of September 30, 2017, the Company has a working capital deficiency of $975,986 (March 31, 2017 - $852,514) and an accumulated deficit of $6,338,384 (March 31, 2017 - $6,134,941). The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on successfully executing its business plan, which includes the raising of additional funds. The Company will continue to seek additional forms of debt or equity financing, but it cannot provide assurances that it will be successful in doing so. These circumstances raise substantial doubt as to the ability of the Company to meet its obligations as they come due and accordingly, the appropriateness of the use of accounting principles applicable to a going concern. The financial information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q does not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. Such adjustments could be material.

We continue to rely on advances and sale of equity to fund operating shortfalls and do not foresee a change in this situation in the immediate future. There can be no assurances that we will be able to continue to access advances and sales of equity, without which we will not be able to continue operations. We are pursuing additional sources of financing, but there is no assurance that additional capital will be available to the Company on acceptable terms or at all.

Marketing Strategies and Competition

Advertising and marketing of medical marijuana in Canada is regulated by the Cannabis Act, Food and Drugs Act (Canada) and the Narcotic Control Regulations issued under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act (Canada). Licensed Producers are strictly prohibited from advertising marijuana products or promoting their use.

Our marketing activities will be focused on the promotion of the Company and increasing its visibility within the marketplace. Those efforts will include working with numerous client education centers (patient aggregators), which will review the available research data provided by the universities on medical cannabis oils and products available to clients. We believe this scientific data will help clients make educated decisions.

We believe we will have significant advantages in the market that will include multiple strain selection and consistently-produced cannabis oil products backed by scientific research that supports the improved effectiveness of each treatment.

Research and Product Development Relationships and Scientific Advisors

Dr. Steven Laviolette, BSc, PhD (Addiction Research Group, Dept. of Anatomy & Cell Biology, Dept. of Psychiatry, Canadian Institute for Military and Veterans Health Research), University of Western Ontario - performs research and product development on cannabis oil and its constituents in the context of depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety and schizophrenia.

Research/Expertise:

Dr. Laviolette’s research interests explore the interface between neurobiology, psychology and emotion by using an integrative combination of in vivo neuronal electrophysiology and behavioral neuropharmacology. At the general level, Dr. Laviolette is interested in exploring the neurobiological mechanisms that control how the brain processes emotionally salient information and how disturbances in these basic neural processes may lead to disorders such as addiction and schizophrenia.

Dr. Laviolette’s investigations into the neurobiology of addiction have focused on nicotine and opiates, both of which represent highly addictive substances and act on pathways in the brain that control reward, motivation and learning. Dr. Laviolette’s research group has characterized and identified specific regions in the mammalian brain that control the ‘switch’ from the non-addicted state, to the addicted state following exposure to drugs of abuse. Their ongoing research seeks to precisely define and identify the neurobiological mechanisms that control the addiction process at the behavioral, molecular and single neuron levels of analysis.

In addition, Dr. Laviolette’s research group is interested in exploring the neuronal mechanisms of emotional associative learning both in single neurons and in specific brain circuits. They have focused on the roles of the endocannabinoid system and specific dopamine receptor populations in the processing of emotionally salient information. Their ongoing research seeks to examine how disturbances in these brain receptor substrates may underlie the distorted sensory processing and emotional associative learning observed in individuals with schizophrenia.

Dr. Jonathan Blay, PhD, FRSB, FIBMS, Csci, CBiol (Professor of Pharmacy, University of Waterloo, Professor of Pathology, Dalhousie University), the University of Waterloo - performs research and product development on cannabis oil and its constituents in the context of the development and treatment of the colorectum, pancreas, breast and prostate cancers.

Research/Expertise:

	●	Tumor microenvironment of solid cancers (colorectal carcinoma);

	●	Mechanisms of metastasis and its regulation by proteins at the cell surface; and

	●	Development of drugs (both synthetic and natural product-derived) that interfere with cancer metastasis.

Dr. Blay’s research group applies a range of techniques in molecular and cellular biology to understand how cell behavior and the action of existing anticancer drugs are affected by the unique physiology of the cancer. This research involves investigations of chemokine pathways, and tumor-initiating cells; as well as the capacity of both synthetic and natural product-derived agents to interfere with the steps that favor metastasis. Researchers in the group identify novel pathways that may be the targets for future anticancer drugs, both derived from natural products and synthesized with the aid of colleagues through molecular design. The goal is to perform fundamental cancer-related research on botanical oils and their constituents which will carry out studies relating to the cellular safety and known cancer-related potential of components within the oils.

Intellectual Property

We have three potential formulations – which we have termed the “F” Platforms and two provisional patents which we have filed.

History of Algae Dynamics

During 2008 and 2009, we developed the BioSilo® design. In 2010, we partnered with phycology experts Dr. Muller and Dr. McConkey at the University of Waterloo. This partnership provided us with exclusive access to proprietary algae species along with phycology expertise. Through this arrangement, we operated our laboratory and advanced from bench scale algae experiments to operating a one meter diameter BioSilo® installation. We received funding in part from Ontario Power Authority “OPA” for the design and construction of the one-meter diameter BioSilo® system. Since that time, we have updated our strategy to focus on our cannabis formulations as discussed above.

Description of Property

The Company initially entered into a five-year operating lease, expiring November 2018, for Unit 37-4120 Ridgeway Drive in Mississauga, Ontario, which consists of 2,224 square feet of office and production facilities. The rental for this facility has been extended for a further 3 years. The current space is adequate for the purpose of constructing an initial production/testing operation. The monthly base rental of the current facility is $1,390 plus the Company’s estimated portion of property taxes and operating expenses which are currently $847 per month. Beginning in November 2018 the base monthly rental of the current facility will be $1,853.

Regulatory Risks

Algae Dynamics will be subject to various US, federal, provincial, and local environmental laws and regulations including the health and safety of employees, and manufacturing practices. In addition, some of these laws and regulations require contemplated facilities to operate under permits that are subject to renewal or modification. A violation of these laws and regulations or permit conditions can result in substantial fines, natural resource damages, criminal sanctions, permit revocations and/or facility shutdowns.

The Company does not intend to conduct any cannabis related business in the United States due to the uncertain regulatory environment. However, it may distribute its algae produced products (if any) to the United States nutraceutical market.

Product Approvals

Prior to commencing operations and prior to making or permitting sales of our products in a market, we may be required to obtain an approval, license or certification from the relevant country’s ministry of health or comparable agency. Where a formal approval, license or certification is not required, we nonetheless may need to seek a favorable opinion of counsel regarding our compliance with applicable laws. Prior to entering a new market in which a formal approval, license or certificate is required, we intend to work extensively with local authorities in order to obtain the requisite approvals. We expect the approval process will generally require us to present each product and product ingredient to appropriate regulators and, in some instances, arrange for testing of products by local technicians for ingredient analysis. The approvals may be conditioned on reformulation of our products, or may be unavailable with respect to some products or some ingredients. Product reformulation or the inability to introduce some products or ingredients into a particular market may have an adverse effect on sales. We must also comply with product labeling and packaging regulations that vary from country to country. Our failure to comply with these regulations can result in a product being removed from sale in a particular market, either temporarily or permanently.

The Company cannot determine what effect additional domestic or international governmental legislation, regulations, or administrative orders, when and if promulgated, would have on Company’s business in the future. New legislation or regulations may require the reformulation, elimination, or relabeling of certain products to meet new standards and revisions to certain sales and marketing materials, and it is possible that the costs of complying with these new regulatory requirements could be material.

Critical Accounting Policy and Estimates

Our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section discusses our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, accrued expenses, financing operations, and contingencies and litigation. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value 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 most significant accounting estimates inherent in the preparation of our financial statements include estimates as to the appropriate carrying value of certain assets and liabilities which are not readily apparent from other sources. In addition, these accounting policies are described at relevant sections in this discussion and analysis and in the notes to the financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2017.

All results are presented in Canadian dollars ($) unless otherwise stated.

The following discussion and analysis should be read in connection with the Company’s financial statements and related notes thereto, as included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

The following is management’s discussion and analysis of certain significant factors that have affected our financial position and operating results during the periods included in the accompanying financial statements, as well as information relating to the plans of our current management.

Results of Operations and Going Concern

We incurred a net loss of $219,553 for the period ended September 30, 2017, (2016 - $830,855). We do not anticipate having a positive net income in the immediate future. Net cash used by operations for the period ended September 30, 2017 was $137,553. These financial statements have been prepared on the basis of a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company is in the development stage, in accordance with ASC 9:115 and has not yet realized profitable operations and has relied on non-operational sources to fund operations. In addition, as of September 30, 2017, the Company has a working capital deficiency of $975,986 (March 31, 2017 - $852,514) and has accumulated deficit of $6,338,384 (March 31, 2017 - $6,134,941). The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on successfully executing its business plan, which includes the raising of additional funds. The company will continue to seek additional forms of debt or equity financing, but it cannot provide assurances that it will be successful in doing so. These circumstances raise substantial doubt as to the ability of the company to meet its obligations as they come due and accordingly, the appropriateness, ultimately, of the use of accounting principles applicable to a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustment that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

For the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016

Results of Operations and Going Concern

We are an early stage company with a limited operating history, and we have not begun to commercialize our products. We have incurred operating losses since our inception in October 2008, and we expect to continue to incur operating losses for the foreseeable future. At September 30, 2017, we had an accumulated deficit of $6,338,384. For the three month period ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we had a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $107,087, and $489,418, respectively. The more significant expenditures decreased include professional fees which decreased by $273,898 and stock based compensation which decreased by $111,107 during the 3 month period ended September 30, 2017 compared to September 30, 2016. In addition, the accretion expense increased by $67,665, while the Company realized a recovery in the fair value exchange in derivative liability of $57,797. As a result of the Company being in a loss position, we will need to generate significant revenues to achieve and maintain profitability. If our revenues grow slower than anticipated, or if operating expenses exceed expectations, then we may not be able to achieve profitability in the near future or at all. These conditions create an uncertainty as to our ability to continue as a going concern.

Results of Operations

Revenues

We had no revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 respectively.

Operating Expenses

The operating expenses decreased in the three month period ended September 30, 2017 ($107,087) compared to the same period of 2016 ($489,418). This substantial decrease was a result of decreases in professional fees and stock based compensation and the scaling back of operations pending the receipt of financing to continue the business plan. Upon receipt of financing we expect our operating expenses to increase substantially as operating activities are appropriately funded.

Other Expenses

Nil

Net Loss

The Company recognized a net loss of $107,087 for the three month period ended September 30, 2017, as compared to a net loss of $489,418 for the same period of 2016. A number of initiatives have been accomplished during the three month period and subsequent to the three month periods. Please refer to Note 13 - Subsequent events to September 30, 2017 Condensed Interim Financial Statement.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net cash used by operating activities was $94,312 and $32,638 for the three month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The Company had a working capital deficiency of $975,986 as of September 30, 2017 compared to $852,514 as of March 31, 2017.

The Company does not at present have any material commitments for capital expenditures.

Additional financing

Please see the section Subsequent Event – Notes 13 of the September 30, 2017 Condensed Interim Financial Statements.

If the funding from the private placement or direct offering is not available in a timely manner, then management will continue foregoing salaries and operations will be scaled back to operate within the funds available. In the normal course of business, management considers various alternatives to ensure that the Company can meet some of its operating cash flow requirements through financing activities, such as private placements of common shares, preferred share offerings and offerings of debt and convertible debt instruments as well as through merger or acquisition opportunities. Management may also consider strategic alternatives, including strategic investments and divestitures. As future operations may be financed out of funds generated from financing activities, the ability to do so is dependent on, among other factors, the overall state of capital markets and investor appetite for investments in the cannabis industry and the Company’s securities in particular. Should the Company elect to satisfy its cash commitments through the issuance of securities, by way of either private placement or public offering or otherwise, there can be no assurance that the efforts to obtain such additional funding will be successful, or achieved on terms favorable to the Company or its existing shareholders. If adequate funds are not available on favorable terms, the Company may have to reduce substantially or eliminate expenditures or obtain funds through other sources such as divestiture or monetization of certain assets or sublicensing (where permitted) of certain rights to certain of the Company’s technologies or products.

For the six months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016

Results of Operations and Going Concern

We are an early stage company with a limited operating history, and we have only recently begun to commercialize our products. We have incurred operating losses since our inception in October 2008, and we expect to continue to incur operating losses for the foreseeable future. At September 30, 2017, we had an accumulated deficit of $6,338,384. For the six months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we had a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $219,553, and $830,855, respectively. As a result, we will need to generate significant revenues to achieve and maintain profitability. If our revenues grow slower than anticipated, or if operating expenses exceed expectations, then we may not be able to achieve profitability in the near future or at all, which may depress our stock price. These conditions create an uncertainty as to our ability to continue as a going concern.

We continue to rely on advances and sale of equity to fund operating shortfalls and do not foresee a change in this situation in the immediate future. There can be no assurances that we will continue to be able to access advances and sell equity, without which we will not be able to continue operations. We are pursuing additional sources of financing but there is no assurance that additional capital will be available to the Company on acceptable terms or at all.

Revenues.

We had no revenues for the six months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.

Operating Expenses

The operating expenses decreased in the six month period ended September 30, 2017 ($219,553) compared to the same period of 2016 ($830,855). The most significant decrease in the expenses is attributable to professional fees which decreased by $445,160 and there was a decrease in the stock based compensation of $244,020, an increase in the research and development of $44,834 and an increase in the accretion expense of $134,831. The accretion expense has increased as the convertible financing being used has a fixed price range with a very short maturity date. The convertibles with the fixed price range were converted into shares as all the short term convertible have now been converted into shares. Please see Note 13 to the September 30, 2017 Condensed Interim Financial Statements.

Other Expenses.

None

Net Loss.

The Company recognized a net loss of $219,553 for the six month period ended September 30, 2017 as compared to a net loss of $830,855 for the same period of 2016. Changes in net loss are primarily attributable to changes in expenses, each of which is described above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources.

Net cash used by operating activities was $137,553 and $123,084 for the six month period ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The decrease is mainly attributable to the delay in the implementation of the business plan.

The Company had a working capital deficiency of $975,986 as of September 30, 2017 compared to $852,514 as of March 31, 2017.

The current level of development activity necessitates a cash requirement of approximately $60,000 per month. This monthly cash requirement will increase as the Company begins operations.

The Company does not have any material commitments for capital expenditures.

Additional financing

The financing referenced in Note 13 of the September 30, 2017 Condensed Interim Financial Statements has provided working capital for the Company to initiate the execution of the business plan. Plans are now in process to undertake a larger capital raise in order to fully implement the business plan as described in this document.

If the funding from the planned capital raise is not available in a timely manner, then management will continue to forego salaries and operations will be scaled back to operate within the funds available. In the normal course of business, management considers various alternatives to ensure that the Company can meet some of its operating cash flow requirements through financing activities, such as private placements of common shares, preferred share offerings and offerings of debt and convertible debt instruments as well as through merger or acquisition opportunities. Management may also consider strategic alternatives, including strategic investments and divestitures. As future operations may be financed out of funds generated from financing activities, the ability to do so is dependent on, among other factors, the overall state of capital markets and investor appetite for investments in the cannabis industry and the Company’s securities in particular. Should the Company elect to satisfy its cash commitments through the issuance of securities, by way of either private placement or public offering or otherwise, there can be no assurance that the efforts to obtain such additional funding will be successful, or achieved on terms favorable to the Company or its existing shareholders. If adequate funds are not available on favorable terms, the Company may have to reduce substantially or eliminate expenditures or obtain funds through other sources such as divestiture or monetization of certain assets or sublicensing (where permitted) of certain rights to certain of the Company’s technologies or products.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Critical Accounting Policies

The financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”) applied on a consistent basis. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods.

We have identified the policies below as critical to our business operations and the understanding of our financial statements. A complete discussion of our accounting policies is included in Note 3 of the annual audited financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2017.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with United States 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. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates.

Going Concern

These financial statements have been prepared on the basis of a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company is in the development stage and has not yet realized profitable operations and has relied on non-operational sources to fund operations. The Company has suffered recurring losses and additional future losses are anticipated as the Company has not yet been able to generate revenue. In addition, as of September 30, 2017, the Company has a working capital deficiency of $975,986 (March 31, 2017 - $852,514) and an accumulated deficit of $6,338,384 (March 31, 2017 - $6,134,941). The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on successfully executing its business plan, which includes the raising of additional funds. The Company will continue to seek additional forms of debt or equity financing, but it cannot provide assurances that it will be successful in doing so. These circumstances raise substantial doubt as to the ability of the Company to meet its obligations as they come due and accordingly, the appropriateness of the use of accounting principles applicable to a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. Such adjustments could be material.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

ASU No. 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes, was issued to simplify the classification of deferred taxes on the balance sheet. The new guidance would require that deferred taxes be classified as non-current assets and liabilities based on the tax paying jurisdiction. Application of the standard, which can be applied prospectively or retrospectively, is required for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2016 and for interim periods within that year. The adoption of the amended guidance does not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), On February 25, 2016, the FASB issued a new standard which requires lessees to recognize almost all leases on their balance sheet as a right-of-use asset and a lease liability. The new guidance will require the asset and liability to be initially measured at the present value of the lease payments in the statement of financial position. The new guidance will also require the company to recognize interest expense on the lease liability separately from the amortization of the right-use-asset for finance leases and recognize a single lease cost allocated on a straight-line basis over the lease term for operating leases, in the statement of comprehensive income. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years with early application permitted. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance to determine the impact it may have on the Company’s financial statements.

ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The ASU includes multiple provisions intended to simplify various aspects of the accounting for share-based payments. The areas of simplification in the update involve several aspects of accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows, however, some of the areas for simplification apply only to non-public entities. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. The guidance does not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. The ASU provides clarity to preparers on the treatment of eight specific items within an entity’s statement of cash flows. The guidance becomes effective for all public entities in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods therein. Early adoption of the guidance, including within an interim period, is permitted. The guidance is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

None.

Item 3 Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk

As a smaller reporting company, the Company is not required to provide this disclosure.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.

We conducted an evaluation, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, as of September 30, 2017, to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed or submitted by us under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, including to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed or submitted by us under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of September 30, 2017, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level due to the material weaknesses identified and described below.

Our principal executive officers do not expect that our disclosure controls or internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. Although our disclosure controls and procedures were designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and our principal executive officers have determined that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at doing so, a control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute assurance that the objectives of the system are met. Further, the 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. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented if there exists in an individual a desire to do so. There can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

Remediation Plan to Address the Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Management identified the following four material weaknesses that have caused management to conclude that, as of September 30, 2017, our disclosure controls and procedures, and our internal control over financial reporting, were not effective at the reasonable assurance level:

●	We have developed documentation of our internal control policies and procedures. Written documentation of key internal controls over financial reporting is a requirement of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act as of the period ending September 30, 2017. We plan to progressively implement the written policies and procedures commencing in the immediate future. However, until all of the internal controls and procedures are fully implemented there will continue to be some weaknesses in the system.

●	We do not have sufficient segregation of duties within accounting functions, which is a basic internal control. Due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible. However, to the extent possible, the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions should be performed by separate individuals. Based on the current magnitude of our operations at the present time, it is impractical to employ sufficient staff to fully address the separation of duties issue. As the business plan is implemented and additional staff is required, we will be able to and intend to address this identified weakness.

●	Effective controls over the control environment have not been fully implemented. Specifically, management has not developed and effectively communicated to employees its accounting policies and procedures. This has resulted in inconsistent practices. Further, our Board of Directors has only one independent member. Since these entity level programs have a pervasive effect across the organization, management has determined that these circumstances constitute a material weakness. As the expansion plans are implemented, we intend to communicate our accounting policies and procedures to our employees.

●	We did not maintain sufficient personnel with an appropriate level of technical accounting knowledge, experience and training in the application of GAAP commensurate with our complexity and our financial accounting and reporting requirements. This control deficiency is pervasive in nature. Further, there is a reasonable possibility that material misstatements of the financial statements including disclosures will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis as a result.

As a result of the material weaknesses identified above, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of September 30, 2017.

The Company has initiated a program to address the above weaknesses, specifically the Company has implemented a Code of Business Ethics and Conduct policy, an Equal Opportunity policy, a Freedom from Harassment policy, a Substance Abuse policy, a Whistleblower policy and a Fraud policy. While segregation of duties is very difficult in a small company the Company has an internal policy that all major expenditures are collectively approved by the CEO, President and CFO. In addition, the Company has constituted an Audit Committee, consisting of two non-management directors with the Independent Director as the Chair.

To address the material weaknesses identified, management performed additional analyses and other procedures to ensure that the financial statements included herein fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Accordingly, we believe 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.

As part of the implementation strategy for the expansion of the Company we additionally plan to engage a third-party firm to assist us with the development of any additional systems required. We intend to remedy our material weakness with regard to insufficient segregation of duties by hiring additional employees as funding becomes available to implement the business plan in order to segregate duties in a manner that establishes effective internal controls. All such required remedies are dependent on having the financial resources available to complete them.

Changes in internal controls.

No change in our system of internal control over financial reporting occurred during the period covered by this report, the period ended September 30, 2017, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
