PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
 
You should read the following summary together with the more detailed information and the financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Prospectus. This Prospectus contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including those set forth under “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Prospectus. Unless the context indicates or suggests otherwise, references to “we,” “our,” “us,” the “Company,” or the “Registrant” refer to Algae Dynamics Corp., a Canadian corporation.  References to “$” refer to monetary amounts expressed in Canadian dollars.  All references to “US$” refer to monetary expressed in United States dollars.
 
Our Business
 
Corporate Information
 
We were incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act on October 7, 2008.   We recently amended our articles of incorporation to change our name, to remove private company restrictions and to effect a one for four reverse stock split.  All share references in this prospectus have been adjusted to give effect to the reverse stock split.
 
We are currently engaged in the commercialization of our proprietary BioSilo™ algae cultivation system for the high volume, low cost production of pure contaminant-free algae biomass. This biomass is high in Omega-3s DHA/EPA, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, all of which are in demand by the growing multibillion dollar food/beverage and health care sectors. Our integrated  BioSilo™ manufacturing system provides low cost algae biomass production with modest capital cost requirements compared to conventional approaches. Furthermore, our “controlled outcomes” technology provides ultra-high purity algae biomass, differentiating it from other producers in the market. Following completion of a commercial-scale demonstration facility we intend to produce algae biomass for sale into the functional additive and supplement markets.
 
BioSilo™ has a small footprint and is modular in nature to allow scalable construction. The system cultivates a wide variety of algae species specific to the requirements of customers.
 
Global consumer spending on the omega-3 foods and beverage products (excluding fish), health and beauty care products (including supplements), and pet products was estimated at $13 billion in 2011. The global retail market for omega-3-enhanced foods was estimated at nearly $8 billion in 2010, a 17% increase over 2009 sales. The global market for omega-3 packaged consumer products was projected to continue robust growth through 2015, at annual growth rates of 15%-20%. (source: Packaged Facts - Global Trends and Opportunities, September 2011)
 
We expect to generate revenue by supplying powdered algae biomass, initially chlorella powder and tablets, and subsequently Omega-3 oil, which can be used as nutrient rich ingredients for our customers. The current average prices (May 2014) are $46.80/kg for Chlorella powder – wholesale (source: Frost & Sullivan, Chris Shanahan April 2013), Chlorella tablets $250/kg (retail) and $87.85/kg -wholesale  for Omega-3 oils ((source: F & S June 2011) While this pricing data is the most recent available to us, and we believe it to be indicative of current market conditions, investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance upon such data. There are nearly 1,000 new products with Chlorella as an ingredient for food and beverage markets. (source: Agriculture Canada, April 2013)
 
The BioSilo ™ system is comprised of the Pure BioSilo ™ and Pro-BioSilo ™ components. The Pure-BioSilo™ process was proven to be successful during cultivation of three different species supplied by Dr. Kirsten Muller, Phycology/Biology department at the University of Waterloo.  This system will be utilized to inoculate our commercial scale Pro-BioSilo™, designed for enhanced productivity without affecting nutritional values of Chlorella microalgae. This system demonstrates a high growth rate at high biomass concentrations with consistent properties.
 
Pro-BioSilo™ operates in a fed-batch mode for suspended cell cultures. In fed-batch mode, additional media and nutrients are added to the bioreactor at different times during the cell cultivation process to supplement the carbon source and other nutrients.
 
An experimental 5 litre set-up has demonstrated concentrations of 100 grams/litre over a five day period, when its expediential productivity curve was reached. The Pure-BioSilo™ process has been successfully scaled up to 500 litres. During the initial commercialization phase, the Pro-BioSilo™ process will be utilizing a 50 litre system. Once the growth rates are confirmed and parameters established, we intend to add multiple 100 litre vessels - each producing 800 grams/day of chlorella powder. This production volume will be used to obtain all necessary certifications and provide prospective customers with samples to secure initial sales.
 
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.  However, there can be no assurance that our commercial scale facility will produce the pure contaminant – free algae biomass in sufficient quantity or that the market will accept our powdered algae biomass.
 
We incurred a net loss of $232,956 for the year ended March 31, 2014, and a working capital deficit of $434,263 as of March 31, 2014, and our net loss increased to $566,598 during the six month period ended September 30, 2014 as we increased our activities leading up to commercial production. We do not anticipate having a positive net income in the immediate future. Net cash used by operations for the year ended March 31, 2014 was $207,105 and $263,957 for the six month period ended September 30, 2014. 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 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.
 
Emerging Growth Company Status
 
        We are an "emerging growth company," as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act, and are eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not "emerging growth companies," including, but not limited to: presenting only two years of audited financial statements in addition to any required unaudited interim financial statements with correspondingly reduced "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" disclosure in this prospectus; not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; having reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy or information statements; being exempt from the requirements to hold a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation or seek stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved; and not being required to adopt certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. As an "emerging growth company" under the JOBS Act, we are permitted to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting pronouncements applicable to public companies until such pronouncements are made applicable to private companies. However, we are electing not to take advantage of such extended transition period, and as a result, we will comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies. Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that our decision to not take advantage of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards is irrevocable.
 
        Although we are still evaluating our options under the JOBS Act, we may take advantage of some or all of the reduced regulatory and reporting requirements that will be available to us so long as we qualify as an "emerging growth company" and thus the level of information we provide may be different than that of other public companies. If we do take advantage of any of these exemptions, some investors may find our securities less attractive, which could result in a less active trading market for our common stock, and our stock price may be more volatile.
 
        We could remain an "emerging growth company" until the earliest to occur of:
 
  the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of this offering;
     
  the last day of the first fiscal year in which our annual gross revenues exceed US$1 billion;
     
  the last day of the fiscal year in which we are deemed to be a "large accelerated filer" as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, which would occur if the market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates exceeded $700 million as of the last business day of the second fiscal quarter of such fiscal year; or
     
  the date on which we have issued more than US$1 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the preceding three-year period.

DISCLOSURE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
 
Except for statements of historical facts, this Prospectus contains forward-looking statements involving risks and uncertainties. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “future,” “intend,” “plan” or the negative of these terms and similar expressions or variations thereof are intended to forward looking statements. Such statements reflect the current view of the Registrant with respect to future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors (including the risks contained in the section of this registration statement on Form S-1 entitled “Risk Factors”) relating to the Registrant’s industry, the Registrant’s operations and results of operations and any businesses that may be acquired by the Registrant. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may differ significantly from those anticipated, believed, estimated, expected, intended or planned.
 
Although the Registrant believes that the expectations reflected in the forward looking statements are reasonable, the Registrant cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, the Registrant does not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Registrant’s financial statements and the related notes included in this registration statement on Form S-1.
 
RISK FACTORS
 
You should carefully consider the risks described below together with all of the other information included in our public filings before making an investment decision with regard to our securities. The statements contained in or incorporated into this registration statement on Form S-1 that are not historic facts are forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in or implied by forward-looking statements. While the risks described below are the ones we believe are most important for you to consider, these risks are not the only ones that we face. If any of the following events described in these risk factors actually occurs, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be harmed. In that case, the trading price of our common shares could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.
 
General Risk Factors
 
We have a limited operating history and number of commercialized products, have incurred significant losses to date and anticipate continuing to incur losses in the future, and we may not achieve or maintain profitability. As a result, our financial statements contain a "going concern" explanatory paragraph.
 
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 March 31, 2014, we had an accumulated deficit of $722,084. For the years ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, we had a net loss attributable to common shareholders of $232,956, and $91,369, respectively. The loss accelerated in the six month period ended September 30, 2014 to $566,598 as we increased our activities leading up to commercial production. As a result, the financial statements of the Company include an explanatory paragraph stating that there is substantial doubt that the Company will continue as a going concern. 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.

Our products are in the early stages of commercialization, and our business may fail if we are not able to successfully generate significant revenues from these products.
 
Our future success will depend in part on our ability to commercialize the product candidates we are developing. Successful development of our product candidates will require significant additional investment, including costs associated with research and development, completing field trials and obtaining regulatory approval, as well as the ability to manufacture our products in large quantities at acceptable costs while also preserving high product quality. Difficulties often encountered in scaling up production include problems involving production yields, quality control and assurance, shortage of qualified personnel, production costs and process controls. In addition, we are subject to inherent risks associated with new products and technologies. These risks include the possibility that any product candidate may:
 
 
   
be found unsafe;
 
 
   
be ineffective or less effective than anticipated;
 
 
   
fail to receive necessary regulatory approvals;
 
 
   
be difficult to competitively price relative to alternative methods of production of Chlorella and Omega-3;
 
 
3

 
 
 
   
be difficult or impossible to manufacture on an economically viable scale;
 
 
   
be subject to supply chain constraints for raw materials;
 
 
   
fail to be developed and accepted by the market prior to the successful marketing of similar products by competitors;
 
 
   
be impossible to market because it infringes on the proprietary rights of third parties; or
 
 
   
be too expensive for commercial use.
 
Failure to achieve expected manufacturing yields for our products could negatively impact our operating results.
 
Low yields may result from process design, development stage or process technology failures. We do not know whether a yield problem exists until our products are manufactured based on our design. When a yield issue is identified, the product is analyzed and tested to determine the cause. As a result, yield deficiencies may not be identified until well into the production process. We have limited experience producing our products at commercial scale, and we will not succeed if we cannot maintain or decrease our production costs and effectively scale our technology and manufacturing processes.
 
We have limited experience in marketing and selling our products and will need to expand our sales and marketing infrastructure.
 
We currently have limited sales and marketing experience and capabilities. We will need to further develop our sales and marketing capabilities in order to successfully commercialize the products we are developing, which may involve substantial costs. There can be no assurance that the members of our sales and marketing team will successfully compete against the sales and marketing teams of our current and future competitors, many of which may have more established relationships with distributors and growers. Our inability to recruit, train and retain sales and marketing personnel or their inability to effectively market and sell the products we are developing could impair our ability to gain market acceptance of our products and cause our sales to suffer.
 
If we are unable to maintain and further establish successful relations with third-party distributors, or they do not focus adequate resources on selling our products or are unsuccessful in selling them to end users, we may not achieve significant sales of our products.
 
Our future revenue growth will depend in large part on our success in establishing and maintaining this sales and distribution channel. If our distributors are unable to sell our products, or receive negative feedback from end users, they may not continue to purchase or market our products.
 
In addition, there can be no assurance that our distributors will focus adequate resources on selling our products to end users or will be successful in selling them. Many of our potential distributors are in the business of distributing and sometimes manufacturing other, possibly competing, products. As a result, these distributors may perceive our products as a threat to various product lines currently being distributed or manufactured by them. In addition, these distributors may earn higher margins by selling competing products or combinations of competing products. If we are unable to establish or maintain successful relationships with independent distributors, we will need to further develop our own sales and distribution capabilities, which would be expensive and time-consuming and the success of which would be uncertain.
 
We rely on the experience and expertise of our senior management team and other key personnel, and if we are unable to recruit or retain qualified personnel, our development and commercialization efforts may be significantly delayed.
 
We depend heavily on the principal members of our management, particularly Richard Rusiniak, our co-founder and Chief Executive Officer, and Paul Ramsay, our co-founder and President, the loss of whose services might significantly delay or prevent the achievement of our business objectives. We do not maintain key-man insurance on their lives.
 
As we expand our operations, we will need to hire additional qualified research and development and management personnel to succeed. The process of hiring, training and successfully integrating qualified personnel into our operation is a lengthy and expensive one. The market for qualified personnel is very competitive because of the limited number of people available with the necessary technical skills and understanding of our technology and anticipated products. Our failure to hire and retain qualified personnel could impair our ability to meet our research and development and business objectives and adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

We also have relationships with scientific collaborators at academic and other institutions, some of whom conduct research at our request or assist us in formulating our research and development strategy. These scientific collaborators are not our employees and may have commitments to, or consulting or advisory contracts with, other entities that may limit their availability to us. We have limited control over the activities of these scientific collaborators and can generally expect these individuals to devote only limited amounts of time to our activities. The inability of any of these persons to devote sufficient time and resources to our programs could harm our business. In addition, these collaborators may have arrangements with other companies to assist those companies in developing technologies that may compete with our products.
 
Our intellectual property is integral to our business. If we are unable to protect our patents and proprietary rights, our business could be adversely affected.
 
Our success depends in part on our ability to obtain and maintain patent and other proprietary rights protection for our technologies and products in the United States and other countries. If we are unable to obtain or maintain these protections, we may not be able to prevent third parties from using our proprietary rights. It is also possible that we will fail to identify patentable aspects of our research and development output before it is too late to obtain patent protection. As of March 31, 2014, we had one U.S. and one Canadian engineering and process patents allowed and we anticipate filing additional patent applications in the medium term.
 
The patent position of biotechnology and biochemical companies generally is highly uncertain, involves complex legal and factual questions and has in recent years been the subject of much litigation. As a result, the issuance, scope, validity, enforceability and commercial value of our patent rights are highly uncertain. Our future patent applications may not result in patents being issued which protect our technology or products, in whole or in part, or which effectively prevent others from commercializing competitive technologies and products. Changes in either the patent laws or interpretation of the patent laws in the United States and other countries may diminish the value of our patents or narrow the scope of our patent protection. The laws of some foreign countries do not protect proprietary rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States, and we may encounter significant problems and costs in protecting our proprietary rights in these foreign countries.
 
Our patents may be challenged, narrowed, invalidated or circumvented. In addition, our issued patents may not contain claims sufficiently broad to protect us against third parties with similar technologies or products or provide us with any competitive advantage. We are not certain that our future patent applications will be issued. Moreover, our competitors could challenge or circumvent our patents or pending patent applications. It is also not possible to patent and protect all knowledge and know-how associated with our products so there may be areas that are not protected such as certain formulations and manufacturing processes. Costly and time-consuming litigation could be necessary to enforce and determine the scope of our proprietary rights, and failure to obtain or maintain trade secret protection could adversely affect our competitive business position.
 
Intellectual property litigation could cause us to spend substantial resources and could distract our personnel from their normal responsibilities.
 
Even if resolved in our favor, litigation or other legal proceedings relating to intellectual property claims may cause us to incur significant expenses, and could distract our technical and management personnel from their normal responsibilities. In addition, there could be public announcements of the results of hearings, motions or other interim proceedings or developments. If securities analysts or investors perceive these results to be negative, it could have a substantial adverse effect on the price of our common stock. Such litigation or proceedings could substantially increase our operating losses and reduce the resources available for development, sales, marketing or distribution activities. We may not have sufficient financial or other resources to adequately conduct such litigation or proceedings. Some of our competitors may be able to sustain the costs of such litigation or proceedings more effectively than we can because of their greater financial resources. Uncertainties resulting from the initiation and continuation of patent litigation or other proceedings could have a material adverse effect on our ability to compete in the marketplace.
 
If we are unable to protect the confidentiality of our trade secrets, our business and competitive position could be harmed.
 
We have taken measures to protect our trade secrets and know-how, including the use of confidentiality agreements with our employees, consultants, advisors and third-party manufacturers. It is possible that these agreements may be breached and that any remedies for a breach will not make us whole. In addition, some courts inside and outside of the United States are less willing or unwilling to protect trade secrets. We generally control and limit access to, and the distribution of, our product documentation and other proprietary information. Despite our efforts to protect these proprietary rights, our trade secret-protected know-how could fall into the public domain, unauthorized parties may copy aspects of our process and obtain and use information that we regard as proprietary. We also cannot guarantee that other parties will not independently develop our knowhow or otherwise obtain access to our technologies.

Third parties may misappropriate our algae strains.
 
Third parties, including contract manufacturers, often have custody or control of our algae strains. If our algae strains were stolen, misappropriated or reverse engineered, they could be used by other parties who may be able to reproduce the algae strains for their own commercial gain. If this were to occur, it would be difficult for us to challenge and prevent this type of use, especially in countries with limited intellectual property protection.
 
Other companies may claim that we infringe their intellectual property or proprietary rights, which could cause us to incur significant expenses or prevent us from selling our products.
 
Our success depends in part on our ability to operate without infringing the patents and proprietary rights of third parties. Product development is inherently uncertain in a rapidly evolving technological environment such as ours in which there may be numerous patent applications pending, many of which are confidential when filed, with regard to similar technologies. Patents issued to third parties may contain claims that conflict with our patents and that may place restrictions on the commercial viability of our products and technologies. Third parties could assert infringement claims against us in the future. We may become party to, or threatened with, future adversarial proceedings or litigation regarding intellectual property rights with respect to our products, product candidates and technology. We may not be aware of all such third-party intellectual property rights potentially relevant to our products and product candidates.
 
Any litigation, adversarial proceeding or proceeding before governmental authorities regarding intellectual property rights, regardless of its outcome, would probably be costly and require significant time and attention of our key management and technical personnel. Litigation, adversarial proceedings or proceedings before governmental authorities could also force us to:
 
 
   
stop or delay using our proprietary technology;
 
 
   
stop or delay selling, manufacturing or using products that incorporate the challenged intellectual property;
 
 
   
pay damages; and/or
 
 
   
enter into licensing or royalty agreements which, if available at all, may only be available on unfavorable terms.
 
Claims that we have misappropriated the confidential information or trade secrets of third parties could have a similar negative impact on our business.
 
If we fail to maintain and successfully manage our existing, or enter into new, strategic collaborations and other relationships, we may not be able to expand commercial development and sales of many of our products.
 
Our ability to enter into, maintain and manage collaborations and other relationships in our markets is fundamental to the success of our business. We may not be successful in entering into such arrangements with third parties for the sale and marketing of our products. Any failure to enter into new strategic arrangements on favorable terms or to maintain or manage our existing strategic arrangements could delay or hinder our ability to develop and commercialize our ingredients and could increase our costs of development and commercialization.

We may be exposed to product liability claims, which could harm our business.
 
The manufacture and sale of food additives and health products is regulated by various local, state, federal and foreign environmental and public health agencies. The costs of remediation or product liability could materially adversely affect our future quarterly or annual operating results.
 
We may be held liable for, or incur costs to settle, liability claims if any products we develop, or any products that use or incorporate any of our technologies, cause injury or are found unsuitable during product testing, manufacturing, marketing, sale or use. These risks exist even with respect to products that have received, or may in the future receive, regulatory approval, registration or clearance for commercial use. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to avoid product liability exposure.
 
We currently maintain product liability insurance at levels we believe are sufficient and consistent with industry standards for companies at our stage of development. We cannot guarantee that our product liability insurance is adequate and, at any time, it is possible that this insurance coverage may not be available on commercially reasonable terms or at all. A product liability claim could result in liability to us greater than our assets or insurance coverage. Moreover, even if we have adequate insurance coverage, product liability claims or recalls could result in negative publicity or force us to devote significant time and attention to those matters, which could harm our business.

  Our business is subject to various governmental regulations, and compliance with these regulations may cause us to incur significant expenses. If we fail to maintain compliance with applicable regulations, we may be forced to recall products and cease their manufacture and distribution, which could subject us to civil or criminal penalties.
 
The complex legal and regulatory environment exposes us to compliance and litigation costs and risks that could materially affect our operations and financial results. These laws and regulations may change, sometimes significantly, as a result of political or economic events. They include environmental laws and regulations, tax laws and regulations, import and export laws and regulations, government contracting laws and regulations, labor and employment laws and regulations, securities and exchange laws and regulations, and other laws such as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. In addition, proposed laws and regulations in these and other areas could affect the cost of our business operations. We face the risk of changes in both domestic and foreign laws regarding trade, potential loss of proprietary information due to piracy, misappropriation or foreign laws that may be less protective of our intellectual property rights. Violations of any of these laws and regulations could subject us to criminal or civil enforcement actions, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
 
Risks Related to this Offering
 
There is no active market for the Company’s securities
 
Currently, no active market exists for the common shares and there is no assurance that an active trading market will ever develop or, if developed, that it will be sustained. A purchaser of the common shares may, therefore, be unable to resell the purchased securities. Consequently, holders of the common shares may not be able to liquidate their investment in the event of an emergency or for any other reason, and the purchased securities may not be readily accepted as collateral for a loan. Therefore, proposed investors are advised that the purchase of the common shares should be considered only as a long-term and speculative high-risk investment.  Due to the absence of a public market for the purchased securities: (i) investors may not be able to liquidate their investment in the event of an unexpected need for cash; (ii) transferability of the purchased securities is extremely limited; and (iii) in the event of a disposition of the purchased securities, the investor could sustain a loss of all or any part of his investment.
 
The Company has no current plans to pay dividends on its Common Shares.
 
The Company does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. If the Company incurs indebtedness in the future to fund its future growth, its ability to pay dividends may be further restricted by the terms of such indebtedness.
 
Because a small number of existing shareholders own a large percentage of the Company's voting stock, you will have minimal influence over shareholder decisions.
 
Existing management has significant stock ownership in the Company and will retain control of the Company in the future. As a result of such ownership concentration, these individuals will have significant influence over the management and affairs of the Company and its business. It will also exert considerable, ongoing influence over matters subject to stockholder approval, including the election of directors and significant corporate transactions, such as a merger, sale of assets or other business combination or sale of the Company.  This concentration of ownership may have the effect of delaying, deferring, or preventing a change in control, impeding a merger, consolidation, takeover or other business combination involving us, or discouraging a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of the Company, even if such a transaction would benefit other stockholders.
 
If we fail to maintain proper and effective internal control over financial reporting in the future, our ability to produce accurate and timely financial statements could be impaired, which could harm our operating results, investors' views of us and, as a result, the value of our common stock.
 
        Pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, our management will be required to report upon the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting beginning with the annual report for our fiscal year ending March 31, 2016. When and if we are a "large accelerated filer" or an "accelerated filer" and are no longer an "emerging growth company," each as defined in the Exchange Act, our independent registered public accounting firm will be required to attest to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. However, for so long as we remain an emerging growth company, we intend to take advantage of an exemption available to emerging growth companies from these auditor attestation requirements. The rules governing the standards that must be met for management to assess our internal control over financial reporting are complex and require significant documentation, testing, and possible remediation. To comply with the requirements of being a reporting company under the Exchange Act, we will need to upgrade our systems including information technology; implement additional financial and management controls, reporting systems, and procedures; and hire additional accounting and finance staff. If we or, if required, our auditors are unable to conclude that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, investors may lose confidence in our financial reporting, and the trading price of our common stock may decline.

We are an emerging growth company, and the reduced reporting requirements applicable to emerging growth companies may make our common stock less attractive to investors.
 
        We are an emerging growth company, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act and are eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies, including, but not limited to, only two years of audited financial statements in addition to any required unaudited interim financial statements with correspondingly reduced "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" disclosure, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in this prospectus and our periodic reports and proxy statements, exemptions from the requirements of holding non-binding advisory votes on executive compensation and seeking stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved and not being required to adopt certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We could be an emerging growth company until the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of this offering, although circumstances could cause us to lose that status earlier, including if we become a large accelerated filer (in which case we will cease to be an emerging company as of the date we become a large accelerated filer, which, generally, would occur if, at the end of a fiscal year, among other things, the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds US$700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter), if we have total annual gross revenue of US$1.0 billion or more during any fiscal year (in which cases we would no longer be an emerging growth company as of March 31 of such fiscal year), or if we issue more than US$1.0 billion in non-convertible debt during any three year period before that time (in which case we would cease to be an emerging growth company immediately). Even after we no longer qualify as an emerging growth company, we may still qualify as a "smaller reporting company," which would allow us to take advantage of many of the same exemptions from disclosure requirements including not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in this prospectus and our periodic reports and proxy statements. We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our stock price may be more volatile
 
You may face difficulties in protecting your interests, and your ability to protect your rights through the U.S. federal courts may be limited because we are incorporated under Canadian law, we conduct substantially all of our operations in Canada and most of our directors and all of our executive officers reside outside the United States.
 
We are incorporated in Canada and conduct substantially all of our operations in Canada. Most of our directors and all of our executive officers reside outside the United States and a substantial portion of their assets are located outside of the United States. As a result, it may not be possible for investors to enforce, outside the United States, judgments against the Company obtained in the United States in any such actions, including actions predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the United States federal and state securities laws. In addition, certain of the directors and officers of the Company are residents of Canada or other jurisdictions outside of the United States, and all or a substantial portion of the assets of those directors and officers are or may be located outside the United States. As a result, it may not be possible for investors to effect service of process within the United States upon those persons, or to enforce against them judgments obtained in United States courts, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of United States federal and state securities laws.
 
USE OF PROCEEDS
 
We will receive no proceeds from the sale of any of or all of the shares being offered by the selling security holders under this prospectus.
 
DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE
 
This prospectus covers the resale by selling shareholders of shares of our Common Stock that they have already acquired from us. The selling shareholders initially will sell shares of common stock at a price of US$1.50 per share until they are quoted on the OTCBB, and thereafter may sell some or all of their shares from time to time at prevailing market prices, once they are quoted on the OTCBB, or at privately negotiated prices, and may sell either directly or through a broker-dealer in transactions between selling shareholders and purchasers, or otherwise. The initial offering price was determined based on the selling shareholders’ internal assessment of what the market would support. There is no relationship whatsoever between this price and our assets, results of operations, book value or any other objective criteria of value. A FINRA registered broker-dealer unaffiliated with the Company or the selling shareholders has applied to have our common shares quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. We intend to file a registration statement under the Exchange Act concurrently with the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. If our common shares become quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board and a market for the shares develops, the actual price of shares will be determined by prevailing market prices at the time of sale or by private transactions. The offering price would thus be determined by market factors.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
 
This prospectus covers the resale by selling shareholders of shares of our Common Stock that they have already acquired from us. The selling shareholders initially will sell shares of common stock at a price of US$1.50 per share until they are quoted on the OTCBB, and thereafter may sell some or all of their shares from time to time at prevailing market prices, once they are quoted on the OTCBB, or at privately negotiated prices, and may sell either directly or through a broker-dealer in transactions between selling shareholders and purchasers, or otherwise.
 
The selling shareholders may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:
 
 
 
ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
 
 
 
block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
 
 
 
purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
 
 
 
privately negotiated transactions;
 
 
 
short sales;
 
 
 
agreements with broker-dealers to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;
 
 
 
a combination of any such methods of sale; and
 
 
 
any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.
 
The selling shareholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, or the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.
 
The selling shareholders may enter into hedging transactions with third parties, which may in turn engage in short sales of the Common Stock in the course of hedging the position they assume. The selling shareholders may also enter into short positions or other derivative transactions relating to the Common Stock, or interests in the Common Stock, and deliver the Common Stock, or interests in the Common Stock, to close out their short or other positions or otherwise settle short sales or other transactions, or loan or pledge the Common Stock, or interests in the Common Stock, to third parties that in turn may dispose of these securities.
 
Our obligation to register, or maintain, a registration statement governing the shares registered for resale hereunder will terminate:
 
 
 
if all the shares have been registered and sold pursuant to this registration effected or pursuant to exempt transactions; or
 
 
 
at such time as all shares held by the selling shareholders may be sold within a three-month period under Rule 144, either because each selling stockholder holds 1% or less of our then-outstanding Common Stock or because each selling stockholder can sell all of its shares under Rule 144(k) without volume or time limitations.
 
The selling shareholders may also sell their shares directly to market makers acting as principals or brokers or dealers, who may act as agent or acquire the Common Stock as a principal. Any broker or dealer who participates in such transactions as an agent may receive a commission from the selling shareholders, or, if it acts as agent for the purchaser of such Common Stock, from such purchaser. The selling shareholders will likely pay the usual and customary brokerage fees for such services. Brokers or dealers may agree with the selling shareholders to sell a specified number of shares at a stipulated price per share and, to the extent such broker or dealer is unable to do so acting as agent for the selling shareholders, to purchase, as principal, any unsold shares at the price required to fulfill the respective broker’s or dealer’s commitment to the selling shareholders. Brokers or dealers who acquire shares as principals may thereafter resell such shares from time to time in transactions in a market or on an exchange, in negotiated transactions or otherwise, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale or at negotiated prices, and in connection with such re-sales may pay or receive commissions to or from the purchasers of such shares. These transactions may involve cross and block transactions that may involve sales to and through other brokers or dealers. If applicable, the selling shareholders may distribute shares to one or more of their partners who are unaffiliated with us. Such partners may, in turn, distribute such shares as described above. The selling shareholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus. We can provide no assurance that all or any of the Common Stock offered will be sold by the selling shareholders.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
 
Mission
 
Algae Dynamics’ mission is to be a leading producer of low-cost ultra-pure algae oil and biomass with high nutrient content for the functional food/beverage additive and health supplement industries.
 
Overview
 
The Company has developed the scalable BioSilo™ algae cultivation system for the production of ultra-pure algae biomass for the functional food/beverage additives and pure supplement markets. Management believes this core technology produces algae biomass that exceeds the purity of our competitors, without the need for additional refinement, providing a key cost advantage. This positions the Company to meet the increasing market gap between supply and demand for algae biomass in several rapidly growing markets including high value ingredients for beverage, food, healthcare, nutraceuticals and supplement products.
 
The Company is ready to build its first commercial scale system to be followed by multiple additional systems as part of its commercial growth strategy. The Company will generate revenue by supplying algae biomass in a powder form or oil that can be used as nutrient rich ingredients for its customers. The average prices are US$87.85/kg for the Omega-3 oils (source: Frost & Sullivan June, 2011) and US$46.80 per kg for algae Chlorella powder (source F & S, Chris Shanahan April, 2013).
 
The reader is cautioned that the price data is the most recent available for the Company. While management believes this price is still representative of market conditions, there is a risk that prices have decreased in the meantime, as a result of which, the profit margins anticipated by the Company could be less than anticipated. However, even if prevailing market prices have decreased, the lower margins could work to the Company’s advantage because, as management believes, its BioSilo™ process gives it a production cost advantage over certain competing production methods, such as the more common open-pond system.
 
Our key competitive advantage is process engineering control which ensures the best possible outcomes for each algae species at a low cost. Growing algae is a blend of a controlled environment and species selection. The Company's production flexibility and tight control allows it to interchange selected species for improved algae yield and quality or client and marketplace demands as required. This provides an immediate and long term competitive advantage allowing the Company to quickly and profitably enter the market as R&D on species selection evolves.
 
Through its original shareholders' agreement with researchers at the the University of Waterloo, the Company has access to proprietary algae species developed in the researcher's labs that management believes have very high growth rates and nutrient content. The design enables full control of all cultivation parameters allowing Algae Dynamics to achieve optimum growing conditions for any algae species. As well, a unique CO2 delivery system enhances delivery efficiency and minimizes CO 2 losses from the system. In essence, Algae Dynamics is combining expertise in the science of algae cultivation with the efficiency of thoughtful engineering. While the shareholder agreement was recently terminated in connection with this offering , pursuant to the agreement terminating the shareholder agreement,  the obligation to continue to provide access to algae strains remains intact.
 
The Company has entered into a memorandum of understanding with POS Biosciences for key process variables such as oil extraction and EPA/DHA separation, although there is no definitive agreement in place. CO₂and agriculture quality nutrients are expected to be supplied by outside suppliers which will be managed by us. Under the POS memorandum of understanding, POS will assist the Company in the commercialization of the Company's algae strains by idenitfying, isolating, extracting, concentating, spray drying and purifying a wide range of algae-based components. POS also has in place the appropriate licenses and quality assurance standards for food and nutriceutical products. Billing for POS services will be on a project by project basis on terms to be negotiated.

BioSilo™
 
Algae Dynamics has engineered a proprietary algae production technology, the Algae Dynamics BioSilo , which maximizes growth and purity, while minimizing its footprint through a modular design. It allows us to cultivate a wide variety of algae species to the nutrient and purity requirements of our prospective customers. BioSilo is a novel method of cultivating algae that combines the positive features of open pond systems with those of enclosed photobioreactor algae production systems. The system produces a continuous supply of ultra-pure algae biomass in high volumes. The design's small footprint and scalability results in very low maintenance costs. The BiolSilo is capable of producing a variety of species, including Chlorella and algae suited for Omega-3 rich Algae oil.
 
The BioSilo is comprised of two distinct components - the Pure BioSilo and the Pro-BioSilo . These two components are part of the same production method and process, each designed to perform a different function in order to optimize the cultivation of algae biomass. Essentially, the Pure BioSilo produces algae biomass in batches in low concentrations. This low density biomass is then used to inoculate (i.e. introduced to) the larger scale Pro-BioSilo component, which when combined with carbon sources and air/oxygen, the high density biomass is produced.
 
The Pro -BioSilo™ operates in a fed-batch mode for suspended cell cultures. In fed-batch mode, additional media and nutrients are added to the bioreactor at different times during the cell cultivation process to supplement the carbon source and other nutrients.
 
During the cultivation process, the mammalian cells exhibit four phases:
 
1.  
lag phase
 
2.  
exponential growth phase
 
3.  
stationary or production phase and
 
4.  
end of life phase
 
To achieve the highest biological product yields possible in the least amount of time, we have sourced sensors and controls to be installed in the scaled-up Pro-BioSilo™ . These sensors which measure states such as dissolved oxygen, dissolved CO 2 , pH, temperature and conductivity have been sourced, purchased and are being installed into both 50 and 100 liter bioreactors. The data equation and control units have been purchased and are ready to be installed together with air, oxygen and nutrients/medium feeding connections. In order to achieve the highest biological product yield without compromise on purity and quality the system must have two distinct production phases. In the first phase the process is to ensure quality not quantity. All procedures should concentrate to provide the best condition for biological life in order to maximize product quality ignoring yield. After the growing parameters are established the second process is employed to maximize the growth. In the case of algae growth under heterotrophic conditions the cell multiply very fast. The objective when producing products such as Chlorella is to modify the growing parameters in order to establish a steep growing curve and harvest at “the midpoint” at which algae is young and healthy. In contrast, when growing algae to maximize lipids (omega oil), the maximum density and maximum lipid production is achieved at the top flat portion of the growth cycle.
 
Recognized critical process parameters are as follows:
 
●  
pH
 
●  
dissolved oxygen (DO)
 
●  
temperature
 
●  
nutrient composition and by-product profiles
 
●  
agitation profile
 
●  
gas sparging method
 
●  
nutrient feed and product harvest profiles
 
●  
dissolved carbon dioxide (dCO 2 ) and osmolality (i.e. concentration of dissolved particles per kilogram of solution)

●  
Competing Algae Production Systems
 
Algae production systems can be divided into two broad categories: open pond and photobioreactors.
 
Open pond systems
 
 
Open pond systems involve large areas of land which are converted into artificial ponds in which algae is cultured in the open air.  Although they are capable of producing large volumes of algae, they suffer from a number of drawbacks, including:
 
 
 
Requires vast areas of land
   
 
Algae growth depends on consistent temperatures
 
 
Sunlight variation adversely affects production
 
 
High risk of pond contamination
 
 
Evaporation
 
 
Low CO 2 availability
 
An open pond algae production system
 
Closed photobioreactors
 
At the other end of the spectrum are photobioreactors which involve the use of complex enclosed reactor systems.  These systems allow the continuous cultivation of algae in a highly controlled environment.  
   
Common systems often involve rows of tubes of various shapes and configurations.  Although much effort has been put into these systems in recent years, their large scale commercialization for algae production has been hampered by a number of drawbacks including:  
    Close Tube photobioreactor
 
●  
High construction costs
 
●  
High maintenance costs, especially for cleaning
 
●  
Poor gas diffusivity
 
●  
poor control of growth conditions (e.g. oxygen accumulation, overheating)
 
●  
CO delivery limitations
 
A problem common to all enclosed reactors is that algae sticks to the internal surfaces of the light source(s), reducing the amount of light available to the algae. This viscous film must be cleaned to ensure optimal growth, increasing operating costs and down-time.
 
 
15

 
 
BioSilo™ Advantages
 
●  
Complete control of all growth parameters
 
●  
Small foot print
 
●  
Efficient aeration, agitation and mixing, thus DO (dissolved oxygen) control
 
●  
Effective CO 2 removal
 
●  
Water recycling with inline continuous decontamination method
 
Intellectual Property
 
Algae Dynamics is protecting its technological advantage through a two-pronged strategy. Firstly, a United States Patent (US 2011/0203171A1) Bioreactor has been issued and a Patent Application (CA 2735635) on the same claims as the U.S. patent has been filed for Canada.

The patent abstract is: “Biomass production apparatus is disclosed and comprises a stack of trays, each tray, in use, being in receipt of a respective layer of liquid, the layers being spaced apart from one another such that each layer has associated therewith a respective headspace. Light sources are provided for each layer and are disposed in the headspace associated with said each layer, to illuminate, at least in part, said each layer”.

Secondly, significant know-how and proprietary in-house knowledge was acquired during development at the University of Waterloo. This will protect the engineering component of intellectual property related to the BioSilo™.  As well, the company has identified proprietary algae species isolated by phycology (the study of algae) researchers at the University of Waterloo, Drs. K. Muller and B. McConkey. Algae Dynamics has exclusive access to these species. These species which are not genetically modified have been selected for their high nutrient values.

History
 
During 2008 and 2009, and subsequent to algae industry and technical research, Algae Dynamics developed the BioSilo™ design. In 2010, Algae Dynamics partnered with algae or phycology experts Dr. Muller and Dr. McConkey at the University of Waterloo.  This partnership provided the company with exclusive access to proprietary algae species along with phycology expertise. Through this arrangement, Algae Dynamics operated its laboratory and advanced from bench scale algae experiments to operating a one meter BioSilo™ installation. Algae Dynamics successfully completed its R&D validating key data points allowing Algae Dynamics to deploy its technology at commercial scale, producing algae biomass of the highest quality at significantly reduced costs. Algae Dynamics was funded in part by Ontario Power Authority “OPA” for the design and construction of its one meter BioSilo™.

Algae Dynamics has operated its system for three years, harvested algae biomass and analyzed the product. In summary, it has achieved the following technical developments:

●  
Demonstrated full control over algae growing parameters, facilitating optimum growth
 
●  
Grown three different species of algae successfully
 
●  
Produced algae biomass with key nutrient content that meets market requirements
 
●  
Inoculated algae culture at low levels, maintaining viability and rapid growth
 
●  
Designed, installed, and proved the nutrient and CO delivery system
 
●  
Discovered and mastered a biological dewatering method
 
●  
Extracted BioOil successfully
 
●  
Demonstrated and measured the very low energy usage requirements of the system

Marketing Strategy
 
The Company intends to enter the North American market through food/beverage and health supplement distributors as well as food and beverage manufacturers directly. Many of these companies have distribution globally which could provide Algae Dynamics access to world markets.

Although we will be primarily focused on selling Algae powders and tablets, subsequently, Omega-3 oils will be extracted from Algae Dynamics’ algae biomass under a toll processing agreement with POS Biosciences, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan which is subject to a memorandum of understanding. There can be no assurance that we will be able to complete a definitive agreement.   POS is approved by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency and experienced in the oil extraction process. Under the POS memorandum of understanding, POS will assist the Company in the commercialization of the Company's algae strains by idenitfying, isolating, extracting, concentating, spray drying and purifying a wide range of algae-based components. POS also has in place the appropriate licenses and quality assurance standards for food and nutriceutical products. Billing for POS services will be on a project by project basis on terms to be negotiated.
 
The Company has entered into an agreement with Corey Bigras, a brand/marketing professional specializing in the food and health market, to manage direct sale to customers (online) as well as wholesale. Under the agreement, Mr. Birgas has agreed to spend six months providing a wide range of services developing a marketing plan for the Company, for monthly compensation of $6,000. This agreement expires on January 6, 2015, although the Company anticipates reaching a new agreement with Mr. Birgas at the end of the term.

We are also utilizing channel partners, or indirect connections to potential customers.

World Demand for Algae-Derived Products

Algae oil is a good source of DHA and is widely promoted for its cognitive health benefits in infant formula and other formulas throughout the world.

Infant nutrition is the largest application sector for algae oils, accounting for over 90% of the volume. A relatively small proportion of this product is also used in dietary supplements. The usage of algae oils in the functional foods sector is relatively new and is growing. Globally, algae oils were the fastest growing form of omega-3 fatty acids in 2009 and are expected to follow this trajectory in the immediate future. The prime growth drivers of this market are the well-established health benefits of algae oil and the fact that it is a more sustainable source of omega-3. Algae oil is nearing the mature phase of the product lifecycle in the infant formula sector, but is in the early growth phase in the food and beverage, the animal feed and the dietary supplements sectors.

Chlorella Market

Due to strict safety regulations and commercial factors, chlorella is one of the few microalgae species eligible for human consumption. Algae Dynamics’ business model initially focuses on the cultivation of chlorella, a species which Algae Dynamics believes has underutilized properties:

 
18

 
 
Ounce per ounce, Chlorella contains the following:

●  
Six times more beta-carotene than spinach.
 
●  
More dietary fibre than leading fruits and vegetables.
 
●  
More complete protein per serving than soy – and twice as much as steak.
 
●  
Higher nucleic acid content than any food – even more than sardines – for slowing down the visible signs of aging.
 
●  
50 times the antioxidants and flavonoids as Vitamin C or Vitamin E for fighting free radical damage.
 
●  
18 powerful amino acids including glutamic acid to help sharpen memory and defence boosting lysine, and arginine to enhance your natural production of immune cells.
 
●  
More than 20 vitamins and minerals to encourage optimum health and energy.
 
While chlorella is often packaged in the US, there are no commercial-scale chlorella production operations in North America. According to “The Chlorella Factor”, most production is centered in Asia, with China, Taiwan, Japan, and Korea producing the bulk of commercial chlorella. In 2003, recorded production of chlorella, which has a nutrient value and high protein content, was 2,000 tons per annum. As of April, 23, 2013 chlorella production reached 4,000 tons per annum and is projected to grow at 6% Compounded Annual Growth Rate (“CAGR”). Frost and Sullivan estimates the global market or chlorella to be $200,000,000 annually. (source: F & S, Chris Shanahan April 2013)
 
Algae-based Omega-3 Market

Algae in the Omega-3 market is well established and Algae Dynamics’ algae biomass business is validated by production of Omega-3 derived from algae. This will be a significant opportunity for Algae Dynamics, given that the CAGR for the Omega-3 ingredients market is expected to be 12%, resulting in $2.8 billion in revenue by 2015 with algae omega-3 oil being the fastest growing sector.
 
 
19

 
 
Specifically, Algae Dynamics expects to see a more significant growth rate within the algae-derived Omega-3 segment.
   
Traditionally, the use of Omega-3 in food and beverage applications was hindered by unappealing taste/smell properties and poor shelf life. However, recent technological advancements have enabled some manufacturers to overcome these formulation challenges. (source: F & S Sept. 2011)
 
●  
Algae expects a higher CAGR due in part to increasing concerns about the marine industry’s sustainability, and the risk associated with continuing to deal with an industry that may face the restricted fish supplies in the coming years.
 
●  
Algae’s growth may also be partly attributed to consumer perceptions of potential heavy metal toxicity of fish-based Omega-3 after recent lawsuits in the US. (source: F & S Sept. 2011)
 
●  
Pricing stability is also an advantage to algae-derived Omega-3. In February, 2013, fish-derived Omega-3 prices rose dramatically, triggered by crude fish oil prices which had skyrocketed in the face of increasing demands on global fisheries.
 
●  
Algae has been successfully penetrating the functional foods market due to increasing consumer awareness about the health benefits of desirable DHA, a type of Omega-3 native to selected algae species. (source: F & S Sept. 2011)
 
●  
Algae is also penetrating the market due to its distinction as the sole vegan source of Omega-3.
 
Global consumer spending on the omega-3 foods and beverage products (excluding fish), health and beauty care products (including supplements), and pet products was estimated at $13 billion in 2011. The global retail market for omega-3-enhanced foods was estimated at nearly $8 billion in 2010, a 17% increase over 2009 sales. The global market for omega-3 packaged consumer products was projected to continue robust growth through 2015, at annual growth rates of 15%-20%. (source: Packaged Facts - Global Trends and Opportunities , September 2011)

The omega-3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acid (PUFAs) ingredients market analyzed in this study include EPA and DHA omega-3s from marine oils such as fish oils, krill oils, squid oils, and algal oils. The end use application markets covered in the report include dietary supplements, food & beverages, pet nutrition, infant nutrition, pharmaceuticals and clinical nutrition. Worldwide, consumption of omega-3 PUFAs, estimated at 123.8 thousand metric tons worth US$2.3 billion in 2013, is forecast to be 134.7 thousand metric tons valued at US$2.5 billion in 2014. By 2020, it is projected that demand for omega-3 PUFAs globally will reach 241 thousand metric tons with a value of US$4.96 billion, thereby posting a volume CAGR of almost 10% and a value CAGR of 11.6% between 2013 and 2020. (source: Health & Nutrition, Omega-3: A Global Market Overview, Feb. 25 2014)

Algae oils represent approximately 16.8% of the global Omega-3 Ingredients market, and are expected to increase their market share, as indicated above. Algae Dynamics is focused on providing North American clients with ultra-pure algae products; however Algae Dynamics recognizes that the market for its potential products is global in nature, connecting Algae Dynamics’ business to many other markets around the world.  Algae-derived Omega-3 is a relatively new entry into the food and beverage additive industry, competing against fish oil which has been produced for centuries. Still, by 2010, algae made up 16.8% of the global Omega-3 ingredients market. In Asia, algae’s market share is much greater at 24%.  (source: F & S. June 2011)  As mentioned above, Algae Dynamics expects algae-based Omega-3’s revenue to grow by up to 17.6% (CAGR) by 2015.

In 2012, the global market for microalgae based DHA +30% oil was estimated to be nearly $350 million, and about 4,614 metric tons. Globally, the infant formula application represented about 48.9 percent (unit shipment) of microalgae based DHA +30% oils sold, followed by dietary supplements with about 28.4 percent. Food and beverage was 19.4 percent of the volumes. (source: F & S Chris Shanahan, The global algae oil omega-3 market in 2014, May, 2014)

"Prices for algal oil-based omega-3s generally remain fairly stable because there are only two major producers and pricing is typically set on a long-term contract basis. In mid-2011, the price of algal oil was estimated to range between $95 and $140 per kilo, depending on how the oil was to be used." (source: Oilgae, April 2014)
 
Algae oil world price is estimated by Frost and Sullivan to be US$ 87.85 per kg. (source; F & S, June 2011)

Nutritional and Functional Food Ingredients Market for Algae Biomass

The North American nutritional and functional ingredient market was valued at US$2.2 billion in 2011. It is expected to grow to US$3.29 billion in 2018, a CAGR of approximately 6 percent. North America offers the largest investment and growth opportunities in the wake of rapidly increasing consumer awareness regarding the advantages of such products. Food fortification is classified into beverages, snacks, confectionary, and dairy products. (source: F & S, May 2012)
 
 
20

 
 
Consumers represent the strongest driver for the nutritional and functional ingredients market as they switch to functional foods. The functional food trend has seen substances such as ginseng, kombucha, Omega-3 and vitamins added to food and beverages. Algae Dynamics’ products, powder algae biomass and Omega-3, can be used as additives in these functional foods and additives. This functional food trend offers food manufacturers many possibilities for developing customized functional food products. In 2011, functional foods accounted for approximately 30 percent of the North American Food Market volume.

●  
The largest segment (22%) of the functional food ingredients market is a collection of additives that do not neatly fit into other categories. These include polyol, phytoestrogens, and Omega-3.
 
●  
The second-largest segment (21%) is vitamins. Major ingredients of this category are vitamin A, B3 (niacin), B2 (riboflavin), B1 (thiamine), B5 (pantothenic acid), B6 (pyridoxine), B9 (folate), B12 (cobalamine), C, D, E, and biotin.
 
●  
The third-largest segment (16%) is minerals. The major minerals used as functional ingredients are calcium, potassium, magnesium, and selenium.
 
Algae Dynamics’ algae biomass is rich in all of these elements, allowing it to penetrate the entire market, rather than only one segment. One of the initial target products is the chlorella algae species.

Companies Developing Open Pond Systems

Companies such as HR BioPetroleum, PetroAlgae, Sapphire and Kent BioEnergy are focusing on the cultivation of algae in large open ponds. The basic premise of this methodology is that by mimicking the natural environment of algae, commercially profitable amounts of algae can be produced albeit with a degree of unpredictability due to Mother Nature.  Unfortunately, there are drawbacks with this method as previously described “Competing Algae Production Systems”.

Companies Developing Enclosed Photobioreactors

Cultivating algae in enclosed photobioreactors has drawn a lot of attention in recent years due to the ability to better control algae cultivation conditions.  We believe this has resulted in larger algae yields compared to open pond systems, with some photobioreactor systems able to reach 150g/m 2 /day biomass production compared to 3,600g/m 2 /day for Algae Dynamics’ technology. However, this production rate was achieved only at laboratory scale, and is, in any event, appears lower than Algae Dynamics’ production rate. In addition, there seems to be many reported technical and commercial problems with these systems, inhibiting their wide scale implementation as previously described in “Competing Algae Production Systems”.

Tier 1 - Leading global multinational companies such as Pronova, Ocean Nutrition Canada, (acquired by DSM), Martek Biosciences (acquired by DSM), GC Reiber, and EPAX. These companies exclusively focus on the production of refined omega-3 ingredients. This Tier also includes multi-ingredient companies such as Croda and Napro Pharma, a division of Cognis, which has a significant presence in the market.
 
●  
Tier 2 - This Tier of competition includes multi-ingredient manufacturers such as DSM and other smaller omega-3 focused suppliers. It also includes companies, such as Enzymotec, Numega, KD Pharma, and Neptune Biosciences, and bulk oil manufacturers such as Lysi Ltd.
 
●  
Tier 3 - This Tier includes medium-sized and smaller companies and regional participants such as Omega Protein and P&G Food Ingredients. Other stakeholders in this market include contract manufacturers, such as ProBio, AquaCap, Pfizer Inc.’s Capsugel, and Soft Gel Technologies, Inc., and distributors of marine nutritional oils such as Jedwards International, Inc, AerChem Inc, and Charles Bowman And Company.

As of 2010, DSM had acquired control of a third of the long-chain Omega-3 market, reflecting a “slow wave” towards consolidation in the fish-oil Omega-3 ingredient industry at the Tier 1 level. According to Nutraceuticals World, there are two drivers pushing this trend. The first pertains to increased investment in DHA and EPA omega-3 based pharmaceuticals. The pharmaceutical industry is not Algae Dynamics’ target market. The second driver is the longer term depletion of fish stocks rich in Omega-3.This has started to create supply constraints and forced the consolidation of companies looking to preserve their market share. In the shorter term, flat fish oil production and increased consumer demand for Omega-3 functional foods are straining inventories. Algae Dynamics’ algal products and competitive pricing will position Algae Dynamics to take advantage of this slack while enhancing the value of the company to investors.

Risks & Risk Mitigation Strategy
 
Algae Dynamics has identified several key risk factors including:

1.  
Biological expertise is important .   It is not enough to build an algae cultivation system but only have limited expertise on the algae itself.  Algae are complex organisms that require knowledge and experience to effectively culture.
 
Algae Dynamics Response . Algae Dynamics has access to a number of propriety species collected, isolated and incubated by Dr. Muller and her colleagues.
 
2.  
Growth Rate critical . There must be complete control of all parameters in a contaminant-free environment and it is critical to efficiently uptake nutrients and carbon sources.
 
Algae Dynamics Response . The closed loop design minimizes contamination issues and all parameters are integrated for optimum growing conditions.
 
3.  
Impurities must be avoided .  Cultivation systems in the open environment are exposed to variable elements. If their design does not facilitate sectional integrity, detrimental contamination can result.
 
 
Algae Dynamics Response . The Algae Dynamics BioSilo™ will be in a clean room environment and the modular design facilitates isolating contamination. Each module can be disinfected and re-inoculated.
 
4.  
CO 2 delivery must be efficient .   Most systems rely on “bubbling” of CO 2 into the algae allowing large amounts to pass through the culture to atmosphere reducing CO 2 sequestration by the algae.
 
 
Algae Dynamics Response . The Algae Dynamics BioSilo™ has a unique CO 2 delivery system that significantly reduced bubbling and CO 2 loss to the atmosphere.
 
5.  
Land area must be minimized .   Using large tracts of land for cultivating algae can be costly and inefficient.
 
 
Algae Dynamics Response . The Algae Dynamics BioSilo™ has a small footprint and can be located at any industrial site.
 
6.  
Operating and energy costs must be minimized .   Although some photobioreactor designs have demonstrated excellent algae yields, their maintenance costs are high.
 
 
Algae Dynamics Response . The Algae Dynamics BioSilo™ operates using a dual lighting system and a low amount of electrical energy. The multi- layer design takes advantage of gravity and the selection of narrow spectrum LED lighting reduces energy requirements. As well, Algae Dynamics ’s design eliminates tube fouling.

Description of Properties and Production Plans

The Company has 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 current space is adequate for the purpose of constructing a demonstration facility.  The monthly base rental of the current facility is $1,382 plus the Company’s estimated portion of property taxes and operating expenses which are currently C$782 per month.  The Company will require additional space to complete its commercial facility; however suitable facilities are readily available.

Over the next twelve months the Company requires approximately $750,000 to complete a commercial scale facility.  The Company has installed and instrumented both the 50 and 100 litre reactors, along with a bank of water filter tanks and UV lights.  To achieve commercial scale operations, Company intends to acquire a 1,500 litre reactor for approximately C$400,000.  These components are readily available from third party manufacturers.

The Company obtains its algae strains from the University of Waterloo.  Other raw ingredients include water, nutrients, and carbon dioxide, all of which are readily available.  During the first year of operations, we anticipate using approximately 1,526 gallons of water, 312 pounds of nutrients such as (glucose, chemical fertilizer, metal trace elements, and vitamins) and 3,330 pounds of carbon dioxide. When the Company commences production of algae, there will be certain lead times before completed products reach market. We estimate that the amount of time between commencement of production and product reaching market will be as follows: chlorella: 3 months and omega oil: 15 months
 
When in service, the Company believes it will require only four employees to operate the facility, a process control engineer, biochemical engineer, biochemical technician and a maintenance technician.
 
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.
 
United States .  The processing, formulation, safety, manufacturing, packaging, labeling, advertising, and distribution of food supplement products are subject to regulation by one or more federal agencies, including the FDA, the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”), the Consumer Product Safety Commission (“CPSC”), the United States Department of Agriculture (“USDA”), and the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”), and by various agencies of the states and localities in which the products are sold. The area of business that these and other authorities regulate include, among others:
 
    claims and advertising;
    labels;
    ingredients; and
    manufacturing, distributing, importing, selling and storing of products.
 
In particular, the FDA regulates the formulation, manufacturing, packaging, storage, labeling, promotion, importation, and distribution and sale of dietary supplements and food ingredients in the United States, while the FTC regulates marketing and advertising claims.
 
Some of our potential products are packaged and sold directly to retailers and consumers, and therefore are subject to greater oversight and enforcement action by the FTC. In recent years, the FTC has instituted numerous enforcement actions against consumer packaged goods companies for failure to have adequate substantiation for claims made in advertising or for use of false or misleading advertising claims.
 
The Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 (“DSHEA”), an amendment to the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (“FDC Act”), established a framework governing the composition, safety, labeling, manufacturing and marketing of dietary supplements. Generally, under DSHEA, dietary ingredients that were marketed in the United States prior to October 15, 1994 may be used in dietary supplements without notifying the FDA. “New” dietary ingredients (i.e., dietary ingredients that were “not marketed in the United States before October 15, 1994”) must be the subject of a new dietary ingredient notification submitted to the FDA unless the ingredient has been “present in the food supply as an article used for food” without being “chemically altered”. A new dietary ingredient notification must provide the FDA evidence of a “history of use or other evidence of safety” establishing that use of the dietary ingredient "will reasonably be expected to be safe”. A new dietary ingredient notification must be submitted to the FDA at least 75 days before the initial marketing of the new dietary ingredient. The FDA may determine that a new dietary ingredient notification does not provide an adequate basis to conclude that a dietary ingredient is reasonably expected to be safe. Such a determination could prevent the marketing of such dietary ingredient.
 
The FDA has issued a draft guidance governing notification of new dietary ingredients. While it is not mandatory to comply with FDA guidance, it is a strong indication of the FDA's current views on the topic of the guidance, including the agency’s position on enforcement. Depending on the recommendations made in the guidance, if and when it is finalized, particularly those relating to animal or human testing, such guidance could make it more difficult for Algae Dynamics to successfully provide notification of new dietary ingredients. Moreover, such guidance could change the status of ingredients that the industry has viewed as “old” dietary ingredients to “new” dietary ingredients that may require submission of a new dietary ingredient notification.
 
The FDA or other agencies could take actions against products or product ingredients that in its determination present an unreasonable health risk to consumers which would make it illegal for us to sell such products. In addition, the FDA could issue consumer warnings with respect to the products or ingredients that Algae Dynamics sells. Such information could be based on information received through reporting of serious adverse events mandated by the FDC Act.
 
 
24

 
DSHEA permits “structure/function claims” to be included in labeling for dietary supplements without FDA pre-market approval. Such statements must be submitted to the FDA within 30 days of marketing. Such statements may describe how a particular dietary ingredient affects the structure, function, or general well-being of the body, or the mechanism of action by which a dietary ingredient may affect body structure, function, or well-being, but may not expressly or implicitly represent that a dietary supplement will diagnose, cure, mitigate, treat, or prevent a disease. A company that uses a structure/function claim in labeling must possess scientific evidence substantiating that the statement is truthful and not misleading. If the FDA determines that a particular structure/function claim is an unacceptable drug claim or an unauthorized version of a “health claim”, or, if the FDA determines that a particular claim is not adequately supported by existing scientific data or is false or misleading, we would be prevented from using the claim.
 
In addition, DSHEA provides that so-called “third-party literature”, e.g., a reprint of a peer-reviewed scientific publication linking a particular dietary ingredient with health benefits, may be used “in connection with the sale of a dietary supplement to consumers” without the literature being subject to regulation as labeling. The literature: (1) must not be false or misleading; (2) may not “promote” a particular manufacturer or brand of dietary supplement; (3) must present a balanced view of the available scientific information on the subject matter; (4) if displayed in an establishment, must be physically separate from the dietary supplements; and (5) should not have appended to it any information by sticker or any other method. If the literature fails to satisfy each of these requirements, the Company may be prevented from disseminating such literature in connection with Algae Dynamics products, and any dissemination could subject our products to regulatory action as an illegal drug.
 
In June 2007, pursuant to the authority granted to the FDA by DSHEA, the FDA published detailed Current Good Manufacturing Practice ("GMP") regulations that govern the manufacturing, packaging, labeling and holding operations of dietary supplement manufacturers. The GMP regulations, among other things, impose significant recordkeeping requirements on manufacturers. The GMP requirements are in effect for all manufacturers, and the FDA is conducting inspections of dietary supplement manufacturers pursuant to these requirements. There remains considerable uncertainty with respect to the FDA's interpretation of the regulations and their actual implementation in manufacturing facilities. In addition, the FDA's interpretation of the regulations will likely change over time as the agency becomes more familiar with the industry and the regulations. The failure of a manufacturing facility to comply with the GMP regulations renders products manufactured in such facility "adulterated," and subjects such products and the manufacturer to a variety of potential FDA enforcement actions.
 
In addition, under the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (“FSMA”), which was enacted on January 4, 2011, the manufacturing of dietary ingredients contained in dietary supplements will be subject to similar or even more burdensome requirements, which will likely increase the costs of dietary ingredients and will subject suppliers of such ingredients to more rigorous inspections and enforcement. The FSMA will also require importers to take measures to ensure that the foods they import, including dietary supplements and dietary ingredients, meet domestic requirements. This could increase the cost of those articles, subject their importation to greater scrutiny, and potentially restrict their availability.
 
The FDA has broad authority to enforce the provisions of federal law applicable to dietary supplements, including powers to issue a public warning or notice of violation letter to a company, publicize information about illegal products, detain products intended for import, request a recall of illegal products from the market, and request the Department of Justice to initiate a seizure action, an injunction action, or a criminal prosecution in the U.S. courts. The FSMA expands the reach and regulatory powers of the FDA with respect to the production of food, including dietary supplements. The expanded reach and regulatory powers include the FDA's ability to order mandatory recalls, administratively detain domestic products and administratively revoke manufacturing facility registrations, thereby effectively enjoining manufacturing of dietary ingredients and dietary supplements without judicial process. The regulation of dietary supplements may increase or become more restrictive in the future.
 
The FTC exercises jurisdiction over the advertising of dietary supplements. In recent years, the FTC has instituted numerous enforcement actions against dietary supplement companies for failure to have adequate substantiation for claims made in advertising or for the use of false or misleading advertising claims. Such actions could result in substantial financial penalties and significantly restrict the marketing of a dietary supplement.
 
Legislation or regulations may be introduced which, if passed, would impose substantial new regulatory requirements on the manufacture, packaging, labeling, advertising and distribution and sale of our products. In March 2009, the General Accounting Office (the “GAO”) issued a report that made four recommendations to enhance the FDA's oversight of dietary supplements. The GAO recommended that the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services direct the Commissioner of the FDA to: (1) request authority to require dietary supplement companies to identify themselves as a dietary supplement company and update this information annually, provide a list of all dietary supplement products they sell and a copy of the labels and update this information annually, and report all adverse events related to dietary supplements; (2) issue guidance to clarify when an ingredient is considered a new dietary ingredient, the evidence needed to document the safety of new dietary ingredients, and appropriate methods for establishing ingredient identity; (3) provide guidance to industry to clarify when products should be marketed as either dietary supplements or conventional foods formulated with added dietary ingredients; and (4) coordinate with stakeholder groups involved in consumer outreach to identify additional mechanisms for educating consumers about the safety, efficacy, and labeling of dietary supplements, implement these mechanisms, and assess their effectiveness. These recommendations could lead to increased regulation by the FDA or future legislation concerning dietary supplements.
 
International.  In foreign markets, prior to commencing operations and prior to making or permitting sales of our products in the 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 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 work extensively with local authorities in order to obtain the requisite approvals. The approval process generally requires 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.

 
25

 
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.

The following discussion and analysis should be read in connection with the Company’s financial statements and related notes thereto, as included in this prospectus.
 
The following discussion and analysis should be read in connection with the Company’s year-end financial statements and related notes thereto, as included in this report.
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 $232,956 for the year ended March 31, 2014, (2013 - $91,369).   We do not anticipate having a positive net income in the immediate future.  Net cash used by operations for the year ended March 31, 2014 was $207,105.   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.    In addition, as of March 31, 2014, the Company has a working capital deficiency of $434,263 (March 31, 2013 - $494,989) and has accumulated deficit of $722,084 (March 31, 2013 - $489,128).  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.

Results of Operations for the year ended March 31, 2014 compared to the year ended March 31, 2013
Operating Expenses
The operating expenses increased in 2014 ($232,956) versus 2013 ($91,369) by $141,587 as the Company initiated the process of developing a demonstration production facility.   By initiating this process extra consulting fees ($117,000), facility occupancy costs ($6,317) were incurred.   In addition, extra professional fees ($30,010) were incurred as the process for undertaking a Private Placement to raise equity was commenced during the fiscal year.
Net Income (Loss)
We recognized a net loss of $232,956 for the year ended March 31, 2014 as compared to a net loss of $91,369 for the same period of 2013.   Changes in net income (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 $207,105 and $38,689 for the years ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.  The increase is mainly attributable to the commencing the development of the demonstration production facility and the costs associated with raising new equity.
We had negative working capital of $434,263 as of March 31, 2014 compared to $494,989 as of March 31, 2013.   The decrease is primarily attributable to the funds received ($328,180) from the private placement in process at March 31, 2014.
The current level of development activity necessitates a cash requirement of approximately $30,000 monthly, this monthly cash requirement will increase as the development activity increases.   The Company anticipates it will require a further $750,000 to complete the demonstration phase of the development process.
We do not have any material commitments for capital expenditures.   However, should we execute our business plan as anticipated, we would incur substantial capital expenditures and require financing in addition to the amount required to fund our present operation.
Additional Financing
Additional financing is required to continue operations.   As of June 6, 2014 the Company closed a Private Placement in the amount of $647,860 ($328,180 was raised by March 31, 2014 and was reflected as Equity to be issued on the March 31, 2014 financial statements).
The Company has signed a consulting agreement with Connectus Inc (a company which has experience in the area of corporate finance and structuring, investor communication and securities law).   The purpose of the agreement is to advise on the structuring of a public offering intended to raise approximately US$4 Million.   Connectus will provide project management support for the project from start to finish.   The Company, of course cannot provide assurances that such equity funding will be available.

Critical Accounting Policies and Recent accounting Pronouncements
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 Notes 2 and 3 of the Notes to the Financial Statements.
 
29

 
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
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes that adequate sources of financing will be obtained as required and that our assets will be realized and liabilities settled in the ordinary course of business.  Accordingly, the financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability of assets and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.
As shown in the financial statements, the Company incurred a net operating loss of $232,986 for the year ended March 31, 2014, (2013 Net Loss of $91,369).    The Company’s current liabilities exceed its current assets by $434,263 as of March 31, 2014.
In view of the matters described in the preceding paragraph, recoverability of a major portion of the recorded asset amounts shown in the accompanying balance sheet is dependent upon continued operations of the Company, which in turn is dependent upon the Company’s ability to meet its financing requirements on a continuing basis by raising additional funds through debt or equity financing.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence.
Accordingly, our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph in their report on the March 31, 2014 financial statements regarding concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern.   Our financial statements contain additional notes and disclosure describing the circumstances that lead to this disclosure by our independent auditors.
The following discussion and analysis should be read in connection with the Company’s September 30, 2014 quarter ending financial statements and related notes thereto, as included in this report.
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.. 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. As a result of the recently completed private placement, the Company has adequate capital resources to fund its operations through to the end of November 2014. The Company intends to commence a raise via private placement or direct offering as early as feasible in order to fund operations going forward. If the funding from the private placement or direct offering is not available in a timely manner then management will be foregoing salary 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 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 green technology 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.

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, 2014, we had an accumulated deficit of $1,288,682. For the quarters ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, we had a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $301,180, and $25,527, 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.
 
Results of Operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2013
 
Revenue
 
We had no revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 respectively.
 
Operating Expenses
 
The operating expenses increased in the three month period ended September 30, 2014 ($301,180) compared to the same period of 2013 ($25,527) as the Company continued the process of developing a demonstration production facility.   By developing this process management and contract fees ($78,375), facility occupancy costs ($6,261), professional fees ($160,411), property insurance ($3,525), research & development ($7,735) and office ($9,568) increased during the three month period ended September 30, 2014 compared to the same period of 2013.
 
Net Income (Loss)
 
The Company recognized a net loss of $301,180 for the three month period ended September 30, 2014 as compared to a net loss of $25,527 for the same period of 2013.   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 $146,843 and $22,105 for the three month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.  The increase is mainly attributable to the development of the demonstration production facility, professional fees and the costs associated with additional management personnel.
 
The Company had a working capital deficiency of $710,930 as of September 30, 2014 compared to $434,263 as of March 31, 2014.
 
On March 11, 2014 and as amended on July 18, September 3, 2014 and again on September 5, 2014, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with Connectus Inc. (the “Agreement”) 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 the Agreement, the Company agreed to issue to this consulting corporation (the “Consultant”), 625,000 warrants of the Company. Each warrant will be exercisable at USD$0.040 per common share for a period of three years.  Of the warrants granted, 300,000 vested on September 3 rd , 2014 with the unvested portion vesting pro-rata for each USD$250,000 ($280,200) raised in the offering, fully vesting upon USD$1,500,000 ($1,681,200) being raised.    All of the Company's financial liabilities other than the warrant liability of $237,300 have contractual maturities of less than 30 days and are subject to normal trade terms.  The increase in the working capital deficiency is largely due to the recognition of the liability for the warrants.
 
 
31

 
 
The current level of development activity necessitates a cash requirement of approximately $50,000 per month. This monthly cash requirement will increase as the demonstration production facility is developed.   The Company anticipates it will require a further $750,000 to complete the demonstration phase of the production facility.
 
The Company does not have any material commitments for capital expenditures.   However, should the Company execute its business plan as anticipated, it would incur substantial capital expenditures and require financing in addition to the amount required to fund its present operation.
 
Additional Financing
 
Additional financing is required to continue operations.   On June 6, 2014, the Company closed a Private Placement in the amount of $647,860 ($328,180 was raised by March 31, 2014 and was reflected as Equity to be Issued on the March 31, 2014 financial statements).

Critical Accounting Policies and Recent accounting Pronouncements
 
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, 2014.
 
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
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes that adequate sources of financing will be obtained as required and that our assets will be realized and liabilities settled in the ordinary course of business.  Accordingly, the financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability of assets and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.
 
As shown in the financial statements, the Company incurred a net operating loss of $566,598 for the six month period ended September 30, 2014.  The Company’s current liabilities exceed its current assets by $710,930 as of September 30, 2014.
 
In view of the matters described in the preceding paragraph, recoverability of a major portion of the recorded asset amounts shown in the accompanying balance sheet is dependent upon continued operations of the Company, which in turn is dependent upon the Company’s ability to meet its financing requirements on a continuing basis by raising additional funds through debt or equity financing.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence.  Our financial statements contain additional notes and disclosure describing the circumstances that lead to this disclosure.

Advisory Agreement with Connectus, Inc.

P. Blair Mullin, a director, is Managing Director of Connectus Inc. (“Connectus”). Connectus has entered into an advisory agreement with the Company dated as of March 11, 2014 in connection with development of the Company’s business plan and financial strategies for the Company. As consideration for the advisory agreement, the Company shall issue to Connectus 625,000 (post-split) three-year warrants of the Company (the “Warrants”) exercisable at $0.04 per common share. Of the Warrants, 300,000 vested over time and have fully-vested and the balance vest one-sixth for each $250,000 raised in the Company’s initial offering of securities registered under the Securities Act with all warrant shares vesting upon the Company having raised $1,500,000.
 
Review, Approval or Ratification of Transactions with Related Persons
 
We have not adopted a Code of Ethics and we rely on our board to review related party transactions on an ongoing basis to prevent conflicts of interest. Our board reviews a transaction in light of the affiliations of the director, officer or employee and the affiliations of such person’s immediate family. Transactions are presented to our board for approval before they are entered into or, if this is not possible, for ratification after the transaction has occurred. If our board finds that a conflict of interest exists, then it will determine the appropriate remedial action, if any. Our board approves or ratifies a transaction if it determines that the transaction is consistent with the best interests of the Company.
 
Director Independence
 
We currently have five directors, one (Mr. MacDonald) of whom is independent.
 
We evaluate independence by the standards for director independence established by applicable laws, rules, and listing standards including, without limitation, the standards for independent directors established by The New York Stock Exchange, Inc., the NASDAQ National Market, and the Securities and Exchange Commission.
 
Subject to some exceptions, these standards generally provide that a director will not be independent if (a) the director is, or in the past three years has been, an employee of ours; (b) a member of the director’s immediate family is, or in the past three years has been, an executive officer of ours; (c) the director or a member of the director’s immediate family has received more than US$120,000 per year in direct compensation from us other than for service as a director (or for a family member, as a non-executive employee); (d) the director or a member of the director’s immediate family is, or in the past three years has been, employed in a professional capacity by our independent public accountants, or has worked for such firm in any capacity on our audit; (e) the director or a member of the director’s immediate family is, or in the past three years has been, employed as an executive officer of a company where one of our executive officers serves on the compensation committee; or (f) the director or a member of the director’s immediate family is an executive officer of a company that makes payments to, or receives payments from, us in an amount which, in any twelve-month period during the past three years, exceeds the greater of US$1,000,000 or two percent of that other company’s consolidated gross revenues.

DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION OF
 INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES
 
Under the Canada Business Corporations Act (the “CBCA”), the Registrant may indemnify its current or former directors or officers or another individual who acts or acted at the Registrant’s request as a director or officer, or an individual acting in a similar capacity, of another entity, against all costs, charges and expenses, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment, reasonably incurred by the individual in respect of any civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other proceeding in which the individual is involved because of his or her association with the Registrant or another entity. The CBCA also provides that the Registrant may also advance moneys to a director, officer or other individual for costs, charges and expenses reasonably incurred in connection with such a proceeding.

However, indemnification is prohibited under the CBCA unless:
 
 
 
the individual acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the Registrant’s best interests, or the best interests of the other entity for which the individual acted as director or officer or in a similar capacity at the Registrant’s request; and
 
 
 
in the case of a criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty, the individual had reasonable grounds for believing that his or her conduct was lawful.

The Registrant’s Bylaws require it to indemnify each current or former director or officer or other individual who acts or acted at the Registrant’s request as a director or officer or in a similar capacity of the Registrant or another entity at the Registrant’s request. The Registrant will indemnify such individual against all costs, charges and expenses reasonably incurred in respect of any civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other proceeding in which such individual is involved because of his or her association with the Registrant or such other entity. However, the Registrant shall not indemnify such individual if, among other things, he or she did not act honestly and in good faith with a view to the Registrant’s, or other such entity’s, best interests and, in the case of a criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty, the individual did not have reasonable grounds for believing that his or her conduct was lawful. The by-laws also require the Registrant to advance moneys to such individuals for the costs, charges and expenses of such proceedings, provided that the individual agrees in advance, in writing, to repay the moneys if the conditions above are not satisfied.

The Registrant’s Bylaws authorize it to purchase and maintain insurance for the benefit of each of its current or former directors or officers and each person who acts or acted at the Registrant’s request as a director or officer, or an individual acting in a similar capacity, of the Registrant or another entity. The Registrant has not purchased director and officer liability insurance, but intends to do so when funds permit.

The Registrant included in the Employment Agreement of some of its officers (who also serve as Directors) an indemnification clause which provides, among other things, that the Registrant will indemnify such officers to the fullest extent permitted by law from and against all losses that the officer may reasonably suffer, sustain or incur, including in a civil, criminal or administrative proceeding, by reason of such individual being or having been a director or officer, provided that the Registrant shall not indemnify such individual if, among other things, he or she did not act honestly and in good faith with a view to the Registrant’s best interests.
 
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Registrant has been informed that in the opinion of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is therefore unenforceable.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
To the Board of Directors and
 
Stockholders of Converted Carbon Technologies Corp.
 
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Converted Carbon Technologies Corp. as of March 31, 2014 and 2013, and the related statements of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders’ (deficiency), and cash flows for each of the years in the two year period ended March 31, 2014. Converted Carbon Technologies Corp.’s management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Converted Carbon Technologies Corp. as of March 31, 2014 and 2013, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended March 31, 2014 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company’s operating losses, negative working capital, and an accumulated deficit raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Notes to Financial Statements
(Stated in Canadian Dollars)
March 31, 2014 and 2013
 
1.)  
Nature of the Business and Going Concern
 
Converted Carbon Technologies 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.
 
The Company is a nutrient ingredient company and has developed a scalable Pure-BioSilo™ for sanitary cultivation of microalgae targeted to the functional food and beverage additives and supplement markets.  The Company’s planned principal operations are the design, engineering and manufacturing of a proprietary algae cultivation system for the high volume production of pure contaminant-free algae biomass.  The Company is currently conducting research and development activities to operationalize certain technology currently in the allowed patent application stage, so it can produce pure contaminate-free algae biomass.
 
During the year ended March 31, 2014, the Company secured a research facility in Mississauga, Ontario, which houses all of its employees and research and development activities.  The Company is also in the process of raising additional equity capital to support the completion of its development activities to begin production of pure contaminate-free algae biomass as soon as possible.
 
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 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 March 31, 2014, the Company has a working capital deficiency of $434,263 (2013 - $494,989) and an accumulated deficit of $722,084 (2013 - $489,128).  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.  See Note 13 for additional funds raised subsequent to March 31, 2014.  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
 
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“US GAAP”).  All adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows as of March 31, 2014 have been included.
 
The Company’s financial statements are prepared using the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with US GAAP and the Company’s functional and reporting currency is the Canadian dollar.
 
In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-10 “ASU 2014-10” to eliminate certain financial reporting requirements for development stage entities.  The amendments in ASU 2014-10 remove the incremental financial reporting requirements from US GAAP for development stage entities, including the presentation of inception-to-date information in the statements of income, cash flows and shareholder equity, and disclosure of the financial statements as those of a development stage entity.  The Company has chosen to early adopt these amendments as financial statements had not been issued or made available for issuance prior to the issue of these annual financial statements for the years ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.
 
Use of Estimates and Assumptions
 
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 the valuation of deferred taxes, stock based compensation, 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.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Equipment and Leasehold Improvements
 
Equipment and leasehold improvements are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses.  Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset.  Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost can be measured reliably.  The carrying amount of an asset is derecognized when replaced.
 
Repairs and maintenance costs are charged to the statements of operations, during the year in which they are incurred.
 
Amortization is provided for over the estimated useful life of the asset as follows:
 
Computer equipment                                                                30% on a declining balance
Production equipment                                                              20% on a declining balance
 
Leasehold improvements are amortized over the term of the lease or useful life of the improvements, whichever is shorter, which is currently 5 years.
 
Useful lives and residual values are reviewed and adjusted, if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.  An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.  The cost and accumulated amortization of assets retired or sold are removed from the respective accounts and any gain or loss is recognized in operations.
 
Intangible Assets
 
Intangible assets are comprised of patents.  Patents represent capitalized legal costs incurred in connection with applications for patents.  In-process patents are not amortized.  All patents subject to amortization are amortized on a straight line basis over an estimated useful life.  The Company regularly evaluates patents and patent applications for impairment or abandonment, at which point the Company charges the remaining net book value to expenses.
 
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
 
The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset might not be recoverable.  An impairment loss, measured as the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, is recognized if the carrying amount exceeds estimated undiscounted future cash flows.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Research and Development
 
Research and development costs include costs directly attributable to the conduct of research and development programs, including the cost of consulting fees, materials, supplies, and the maintenance of research equipment.  All costs associated with research and development are expensed as incurred.  The approved refundable portion of tax credits are netted against the related expenses.  Non-refundable investment tax credits are recorded in the period when reasonable assurance exists that the Company has complied with the terms and conditions required for approval of the tax credit and it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the benefits of these tax credits against the deferred taxes.  Refundable investment tax credits are recorded in the period when reasonable assurance exists that the Company has complied with the terms and conditions required for approval of the tax credit and it is more likely than not that the Company will collect it.
 
Stock-based Compensation
 
The Company uses the fair value based method of accounting for all its stock-based compensation in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") ASC 718 “Compensation – Stock Compensation”. The estimated fair value of the options and warrants that are ultimately expected to vest based on performance related conditions, as well as the options and warrants that are expected to vest based on future service, is recorded over the instrument’s requisite service period and charged to stock-based compensation.  In determining the amount of options and warrants that are expected to vest, the Company takes into account, voluntary termination behavior as well as trends of actual option and warrant forfeitures. Stock options and warrants which are indexed to a factor which is not a market, performance or service condition, in addition to the Company’s share price, are classified as liabilities and re-measured at each reporting date based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model with a charge to operations, until the date of settlement.

Income Taxes
 
Income taxes are accounted for under the liability method of accounting for income taxes.   Under the liability method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the amounts reported in the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted income tax rates expected to apply when the asset is realized or the liability is settled.   The effect of a change in income tax rates on deferred tax liabilities and assets is recognized in income in the period in which the change occurs.  Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that they are considered more likely than not to be realized.
 
FASB issued ASC 740-10 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”.  ASC 740-10 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with prior literature FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes.  This standard requires a company to determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination based upon the technical merits of the position.  If the more-likely-than-not threshold is met, a company must measure the tax position to determine the amount to recognize in the financial statements.  The implementation of this standard had no impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurement” defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under generally accepted accounting principles and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements.  Fair value is defined under ASC 820 as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.   Valuation techniques used to measure fair value under ASC 820 must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.   The standard describes a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value as follows:
 
Level 1 – unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
 
Level 2 – inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability or indirectly; and
 
Level 3 – inputs that are not based on observable market data.
 
As at March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013, the Company did not have any financial instruments measured at fair value.  The Company’s financial instruments include cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, advances from investor and advances from shareholders.  The fair values of these financial instruments approximate their carrying values due to their short-term nature.  Management is of the opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, credit or currency risks from these financial instruments.
 
Loss per Share
 
Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year.  Diluted loss per share is calculated using the treasury stock method and reflects the potential dilution of securities by including warrants and contingently issuable shares, if any, in the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for a year, if dilutive.  In a loss year, dilutive common shares are excluded from the loss per share calculation as the effect would be anti-dilutive.  Accordingly, for the years ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the basic loss per share was equal to diluted loss per share as there were no dilutive securities.
 
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
 
ASC 220 “Comprehensive Income” establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances.   The net loss is equivalent to the comprehensive loss for the periods presented.

New Accounting Pronouncements
 
In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-11 "Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities" and in January 2013 issued ASU No. 2013-01 “Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures About Offsetting Assets and Liabilities”.  These standards create new disclosure requirements regarding the nature of an entity’s rights of setoff and related arrangements associated with its derivative instruments, repurchase agreements, and securities lending transactions. Certain disclosures of the amounts of certain instruments subject to enforceable master netting arrangements would be required, irrespective of whether the entity has elected to offset those instruments in the statement of financial positions. ASU 2011-11 and ASU 2013-01 are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. The adoption of ASU 2011-11 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11 “Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists”. The objective of ASU No. 2013-11 is to provide guidance on the financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net loss carryforward, similar tax loss, or tax credit carryforward exists. The amendments in this standard are effective prospectively for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013. The Company is evaluating the effect, if any, the adoption of ASU No. 2013-11 will have on its financial statements.

Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements upon adoption.

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 March 31, 2014, the Company had cash of $64,674 (2013  - $4,001) to settle current liabilities of $518,936 (2013 - $502,603). All of the Company's financial liabilities 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 green technology 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. 
 
(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 March 31, 2014, the Company held $64,674 (2013 - $4,001) 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.  Management believes the foreign exchange risk derived from currency conversions is negligible and therefore does not hedge its foreign exchange risk.
 
(d)  
Interest rate risk

The Company does not have any interest-bearing debt. The Company invests any cash surplus to its operational needs in investment-grade short-term deposit certificates issued by highly rated Canadian banks. The Company periodically assesses the quality of its investments and is satisfied with the credit rating of the bank.

Notes to the Condensed Interim Financial Statements
(Stated in Canadian Dollars)

September 30, 2014
 
 
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.   On August 28, 2014, the Company further amended its Articles of Incorporation to change its name to Algae Dynamics Corp.
 
The Company is a nutrient ingredient company and has developed a scalable Pure-BioSilo™ for sanitary cultivation of microalgae targeted to the functional food and beverage additives and supplement markets.  The Company’s planned principal operations are the design, engineering and manufacturing of a proprietary algae cultivation system for the high volume production of pure contaminant-free algae biomass.  The Company is currently conducting research and development activities to operationalize certain technology currently in the patent application stage, so it can produce pure contaminate-free algae biomass.
 
During the six month period ended September 30, 2014, the Company closed a Private Placement in the amount of $647,860.  The Company is also in the process of raising additional equity capital to support the completion of its development activities to begin production of pure contaminate-free algae biomass as soon as possible.
 
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 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, 2014, the Company has a working capital deficiency of $710,930 (March 31, 2014 - $434,263) and an accumulated deficit of $1,288,682 (March 31, 2014 - $722,084).  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 condensed interim 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, 2014. These 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 audited financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2014, 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, 2014, and the results of its operations for the three and six month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 and its cash flows for the six month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013. Note disclosures have been presented for material updates to the information previously reported in the annual audited financial statements.
 
In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-10 “ASU 2014-10” to eliminate certain financial reporting requirements for development stage entities.  The amendments in ASU 2014-10 remove the incremental financial reporting requirements from US GAAP for development stage entities, including the presentation of inception-to-date information in the statements of income, cash flows and shareholder equity, and disclosure of the financial statements as those of a development stage entity.
 
Estimates
 
The preparation of these condensed interim financial statements has required management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of the revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
 
On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to provision for doubtful accounts, accrued liabilities, income taxes, stock based compensation and intangible assets. The Company bases its estimates on historical experiences and on various other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates. As adjustments become necessary, they are reported in earnings in the period in which they become known.

*Exercisable at $1.68 during the first year and at $2.24 during the second year.

In connection with a private placement offering completed during the six month period ended September 30, 2014, the Company granted an aggregate of 300,383 share purchase warrants, to the participants each exercisable into one common share as follows: 300,383 at $1.68 during the first year and at $2.24 during the second year exercisable on or before June 6, 2016.  The fair value of the warrants at the date of grant was $170,908 and was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, based on the following weighted average assumptions: expected dividend yield of 0%; expected volatility of 173%; risk free interest rate of 1.06%; and expected term of 2.00 years.
 
The Company also issued 27,500 warrants to consultants of the Company valued at $19,290 of which 22,500 warrants were granted to an officer of the Company for consulting services.  The compensation has been included in professional fees on the condensed interim statements of operations. Each warrant entitles 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 was $19,290 and 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.
 
In connection with a consulting agreement (see Note 8), 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 ($0.043) 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 ($280,200) raised in an offering, fully vesting upon USD$1,500,000 ($1,681,200) being raised.   The fair value of the 625,000 warrants  at the date of grant was $500,000 and 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.

Capital Stock (continued)
 
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, these warrants have been treated as derivatives and recorded as liabilities carried at their fair value, with period-to-period changes in the fair value recorded as a gain or loss in the condensed interim statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The Company treated the compensation warrants as a liability upon their issuance.

As at September 30, 2014, the fair value of the 625,000 warrants was $494,375 which was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on the following weighted average assumptions: expected dividend yield of 0%; expected volatility of 144%; risk-free interest rate of 1.16% and expected term of 2.5 years.  Of this amount, $237,300 was reflected as a liability as at September 30, 2014, 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, 2014.

For the three and six month periods ended September 30, 2014, the Company recorded $98,119 and $237,300 respectively (2013 - $Nil and $Nil) as compensation expense for warrants issued to a consultant for service, net of a mark to market adjustment for the three and six month periods ended September 30, 2014 of $2,526 and $2,700 respectively. This expense was recorded as professional fees on the condensed interim statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

The warrant liability is classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy (See Note 10).  The Company’s computation of expected volatility for the period ended September 30, 2014 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.
 
 
7.)
Income Taxes
 
The Company has no taxable income under Canadian Federal and Provincial tax laws for the three and six month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013.  The Company has non-capital loss carryforwards at September 30, 2014 totalling approximately $980,000, which may be offset against future taxable income.   If not used, the loss carryforwards will expire between 2029 and 2035.

Commitments and Contingencies

The Company entered into a five (5) 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 $1,362 plus the Company’s estimated portion of property taxes and operating expenses which are currently $782 per month.  The future commitments pursuant to this lease arrangement, including property taxes and operating expenses for the fiscal periods ending March 31 are:

2015                                $  12,866
2016                                    25,732
2017                                    25,732
2018                                    26,064
2019                                    17,376
 
For the three and six month periods ended September 30, 2014, rental expenses related to this lease were $6,433 and $12,866, respectively (2013 - $Nil and $Nil, respectively).
 
On March 11, 2014 and as amended on July 18, September 3, 2014 and again on September 5, 2014, the Company entered into a consulting agreement 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 this consulting corporation (the “Consultant”), 625,000 warrants of the Company. Each warrant will be exercisable at USD$0.044 per common 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 ($280,200) raised in the offering, fully vesting upon USD$1,500,000 ($1,681,200) being raised.   During the three month period ended September 30, 2014, the President of the Consultant became a director of the Company.
 
On April 23, 2014, the Company entered into employment agreements with three officers of the Company effective July 1, 2014.  These 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 condensed interim financial statements.
 
 
9.)
Related Party Transactions
 
Included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities as at September 30, 2014 is $52,030 (March 31, 2014 - $64,030) owing to two directors who are also officers and significant shareholders of the Company for unpaid management fees.  This balance is unsecured, non-interest bearing and due on demand.

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, 2014, the Company had cash of $56,213 (March 31, 2014 - $64,674) to settle current liabilities of $797,218 (March 31, 2014 - $518,936). All of the Company's financial liabilities other than the warrant liability of $237,300 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 Company’s ability to do so is dependent on, among other factors, the overall state of capital markets and investor appetite for investments in the green technology 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 terms favorable to the Company, it 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. 
 
 
(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, 2014, the Company held $56,213 (March 31, 2014 - $64,674) with a major Canadian chartered bank.

Financial Instruments (continued)
 
 
(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.  Management believes the foreign exchange risk derived from currency conversions is negligible and therefore does not hedge its foreign exchange risk. See also Note 10 e.
 
 
(d)
Interest rate risk

The Company does not have any interest-bearing debt. The Company invests any cash surplus to its operational needs in investment-grade short-term deposit certificates issued by highly rated Canadian banks. The Company periodically assesses the quality of its investments and is satisfied with the credit rating of the bank.

(e)           Derivative liability – warrant liability

In connection with a consulting agreement, the Company granted warrants to purchase up to 625,000 common shares of the Company as disclosed in Note 6 (b).  The warrants have an exercise price of USD$0.04 ($0.044).  The warrants are exercisable at any time prior to April 1, 2017.  The warrants are accounted for as derivative liabilities because the exercise price is denominated in a currency other than the Company’s functional currency.

The table below summarizes the fair value of the Company’s financial liabilities measured at fair value:

Financial Instruments (continued)

 
(e)
Derivative liability – warrant liability (continued)

These instruments were valued using pricing models that incorporate the price of a share of common stock (based upon the price of the most recent private placement), volatility, risk free rate, dividend rate and estimated life.   The Company estimated the value of the warrants using the Black-Scholes model.   There were no transfers of assets or liabilities between Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3 during the periods ended September 30, 2014 and March 31, 2014.

The following are the key assumptions used in connection with this computation:

 
   
September 30,
2014
 
Number of shares underlying the warrants      625,000  
Fair market value of the stock    $ 0.82  
Exercise price     USD$ 0.04  
    $ (0.044 )
Expected volatility     144 %
Risk-free interest rate       1.16 %
Expected dividend yield      0 %
 Expected warrant life (years)      2.5

Subsequent Event
 
On October 22, 2014, the Company issued 6,700 units in settlement of debt owed to a vendor of USD$10,050 ($11,256), each unit is comprised of one (1) common share and one-half of one (1/2) common share purchase warrant.  Each whole warrant is exercisable at USD$1.50 ($1.68) per share within twenty four (24) months of the date of issuance.

Item 15.
Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities.
 
In the three years preceding the filing of this Registration Statement, the Registrant has sold the following securities that were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), as follows:

The Company entered into an advisory agreement with Connectus Inc. dated as of March 11, 2014 in connection with development of the Company’s business plan and financial strategies for the Company. As consideration for the advisory agreement, the Company issued to Connectus 625,000 (post-split) three-year warrants of the Company (the “Advisory Warrants”) exercisable at US$0.04 per common share. Of the Advisory Warrants, 300,000 vested over time and have fully-vested and the balance vest one-sixth for each $250,000 raised in the Company’s initial offering of securities registered under the Securities Act with all warrant shares vesting upon the Company having raised $1,500,000. The issuance of the Advisory Warrants was exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.
 
In June 2014, the Company issued an aggregate of 2,403,071 common shares and 1,201,536 warrants to purchase common shares for gross cash proceeds of $647,860 in a private placement to accredited investors which was exempt from registration under the Securities Act pursuant to Regulation S or Regulation D under the Securities Act and/or Section 4(2) thereof.  The offering consisted of units, with each unit consisting of one common share and one common share purchase warrant. One whole warrant is exercisable into one common share at $0.42 within twelve months or $0.56 prior to twenty four months. No brokerage commissions were paid in connection with the issuance of such shares or warrants.
 
On October 22, 2014 the Company issued 6,700 common shares and 3,350 common share purchase warrants to Joseph P. Galdz in connection with the cancellation of U.S. $10,050 of legal fees. The common share purchase warrants are exercisable for two years at an exercise price of U.S. $1.50 per share. The issuance was exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.

Item 17.             Undertakings.
 
A.            The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
 
 
(1)
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement to:
 
 
(a)
include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
 
 
(b)
reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in the volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective Registration Statement; and
 
 
(c)
include any additional or changed material information with respect to the plan of distribution.
 
 
(2)
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
 
 
(3)
To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
 
 
(4)
For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of a registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in the form of prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of the Registration Statement as of the time it was declared effective.
 
 
(5)
For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new Registration Statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
 
 
(6)
For the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser:
 
  
 
Each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A (§§230.430A of this chapter), shall be deemed to be part of and included in the Registration Statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness.  Provided however,  that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the Registration Statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the Registration Statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the Registration Statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
 
 
(7)
For the purpose of determining liability of the Registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of securities:
 
 
The Registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the Registrant pursuant to this Registration Statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the Registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
 
 
II-3

 
 

 
(a)
Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the Registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 of this chapter;
 
 
(b)
Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the Registrant or used or referred to by the Registrant;
 
 
(c)
The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the Registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the Registrant; and
 
 
(d)
Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the Registrant to the purchaser.
 
B.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the small business issuer of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the small business issuer in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Company will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
  
C.
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that:
 
 
(1)
For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this Registration Statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this Registration Statement as of the time it was declared effective.
 
 
(2)
For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial  bona fide  offering thereof.
 
 
II-4

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant has duly caused this Amendment No. 2 to this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in Ontario, Canada on this  19th day of November 2014.

No ink-original Notice of Exercise shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Exercise form be required. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Holder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within three (3) Trading Days of the date the final Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company.

In order to effect a Cashless Exercise, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant at the principal office of the Company together with a Notice of  Exercise in the form attached as Exhibit “A”, completed and executed, indicating Holder’s election to effect a Cashless Exercise, in which event the Company shall issue Holder a number of Common Shares computed using the following formula:  X = Y (A-B)/A

where:
X = the number of Common Shares to be issued to Holder;

d)  Mechanics of Exercise .
 
i.  Delivery of Warrant Shares Upon Exercise . The Company shall use best efforts to cause the Warrant Shares purchased hereunder to be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s broker with The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian system (“ DWAC ”) if the Company is then a participant in such system and either (A) there is an effective registration statement permitting the issuance of the Warrant Shares to or resale of the Warrant Shares by Holder or (B) this Warrant is being exercised via Cashless Exercise, and otherwise by physical delivery to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise by the date that is one (1) Trading Day after the latest of (A) the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise and (B) surrender of this Warrant (if required) (such date, the “ Warrant Share Delivery Date ”). The Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been issued, and Holder or any other Person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such shares for all purposes, as of the date the Warrant has been exercised, with payment to the Company of the Exercise Price (or by Cashless Exercise) and all taxes required to be paid by the Holder, if any, pursuant to Section 2(d)(v) prior to the issuance of such shares, having been paid.

ii.  Delivery of New Warrants Upon Exercise . If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request of a Holder and upon surrender of this Warrant certificate, at the time of delivery of the Warrant Shares, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant.
 
iii)   Rescission Rights . If the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise. In the event of such rescission, Holder shall promptly execute such documents and take such actions as may be necessary to promptly return to the Company any Warrant Shares that have been issued an delivered to the Holkder following the Warrant Share Delivery Date.
 
iv)   No Fractional Shares or Scrip . No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall, at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price or round up to the next whole share.
 
v)   Charges, Taxes and Expenses . Issuance of Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such Warrant Shares, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such Warrant Shares shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided , however , that in the event Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto as Exhibit “B” duly executed by the Holder and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto. The Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees required for same-day processing of any Notice of Exercise.
 
vi)  Closing of Books . The Company will not close its shareholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms hereof.
 
Section 3 . Certain Adjustments .
 
a) Stock Dividends and Splits . If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Share or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in Common Shares (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any Common Shares issued by the Company upon exercise of this Warrant), (ii) subdivides outstanding Common Shares into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding Common Shares into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issues by reclassification of the Common Shares any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of Common Shares (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after such event, and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.
 
b) If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, shall distribute to all holders of Common Shares (and not to the Holder) evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including cash and cash dividends) or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security, then in each such case the Exercise Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the record date fixed for determination of shareholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction of which the denominator shall be the ten-day volume-weighted average price (“ VWAP ”) of the Common Shares on the Trading Market determined as of the record date mentioned above, and of which the numerator shall be such VWAP on such record date less the fair market value at such record date of the portion of such assets or evidence of indebtedness or rights or warrants so distributed applicable to one outstanding Common Share as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in good faith. In either case the adjustments shall be described in a statement provided to the Holder of the portion of assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed or such subscription rights applicable to one Common Share. Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective immediately after the record date mentioned above.
 
c)  Subsequent Rights Offerings . If the Company, at any time while the Warrant is outstanding, shall issue rights, options or warrants to all holders of Common Shares (and not to the Holder) entitling them to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares at a price per share less than the VWAP on the record date mentioned below, then the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction, of which the denominator shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants plus the number of additional Common Shares offered for subscription or purchase, and of which the numerator shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants plus the number of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so offered (assuming receipt by the Company in full of all consideration payable upon exercise of such rights, options or warrants) would purchase at such VWAP. Such adjustment shall be made whenever such rights, options or warrants are issued, and shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such rights, options or warrants.

d)  Fundamental Transaction . If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company, directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Shares are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding Common Shares, (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Common Shares or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Shares are effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property, or (v) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with another Person or group of Persons whereby such other Person or group acquires more than 50% of the outstanding Common Shares (not including any Common Shares held by the other Person or other Persons making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other Persons making or party to, such stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination) (each a “ Fundamental Transaction ”), then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would otherwise have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the Holder (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant), the number of Common Shares or other securities of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “ Alternate Consideration ”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of Common Shares for which this Warrant has been exercised and would have been exercisable immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction. For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one Common Share in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Shares are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. The Company shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the survivor (the “ Successor Entity ”) to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3(d) and shall, at the option of the Holder, deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Warrant a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant which is exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent to the Common Shares acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with an exercise price which applies the Exercise Price hereunder, adjusted as applicable in accordance with the terms of the Fundamental Transaction, to such shares of capital stock. Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Warrant referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein. 
 
e) Calculations . All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 3, the number of Common Shares deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of Common Shares (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.
 
f) Notice to Holder .
 
i. Adjustment to Exercise Price . Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 3, the Company shall promptly mail to the Holder a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and any resulting adjustment to the number of Warrant Shares and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Common Shares, (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Shares, (C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Shares rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any shareholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Shares, any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Shares are converted into other securities, cash or property, or (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be mailed to the Holder at its last address as it shall appear upon the Warrant Register (as defined below) of the Company, at least 10 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Shares of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Shares of record shall be entitled to exchange their Common Shares for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange; provided that the failure to mail such notice or any defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice.

Dear Sirs/Mesdames,

Re:            Registration on Form S-1

We have acted as special Ontario counsel to Algae Dynamics Corp., a federal corporation incorporated under the laws of Canada (the “Company”), in connection with the registration with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on Form S-1, as amended or supplemented from time to time (the “Registration Statement”), of 1,473,712 common shares in the capital of the Company (each, a “Share”), all  of which are currently issued and outstanding (the “Issued Shares”) and held by the selling shareholders identified in the Registration Statement (the “Selling Shareholders”), and 327,500 Shares (the “Warrant Shares”) which are issuable upon the exercise of certain outstanding Share purchase warrants (the “Warrants”).

In connection with these opinions, we have examined and relied upon the originals, or copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such records, documents, certificates and other instruments as in our judgment are necessary or appropriate to enable us to render the opinions expressed below.
 
In rendering these opinions, we have assumed the authenticity of all signatures on original documents; the legal capacity of all natural persons; the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals; the conformity to originals of all documents submitted to us as certified or photocopies; the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents; the accuracy and completeness of all documents and records reviewed by us; the accuracy, completeness and authenticity of certificates issued by any governmental official, office or agency, and the absence of any change in the information contained therein from the effective date of any such certificate; and the due authorization, execution and delivery of all documents where authorization, execution and delivery are prerequisites to the effectiveness of such documents.

Our opinions herein are expressed solely with respect to the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada and are based on these laws as in effect on the date hereof.  We express no opinion as to whether the laws of any other jurisdiction are applicable to the subject matter hereof.  We are not rendering any opinion as to compliance with any federal, state or provincial law, rule or regulation relating to securities, or to the sale or issuance thereof.
 
For purposes of the opinions expressed below, without limiting any other exceptions or qualifications set forth herein, we have assumed that due and adequate consideration for each of the Issued Shares has been paid and, when issued in accordance with the Warrants, the exercise price of each of the Warrant Shares has been paid.

Based upon our review, it is our opinion that (i) the Issued Shares to be sold by the Selling Shareholders have been duly authorized and are validly issued as fully paid and non-assessable common shares in the capital of the Company, and (ii) the Warrant Shares, when issued and sold in accordance with and in the manner described in the Warrants, will be duly authorized and validly issued as fully paid and non-assessable common shares in the capital of the Company.

We hereby consent to the filing of this letter as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the reference to our firm under the caption “Interests of Named Experts and Counsel” in the Prospectus which forms part of the Registration Statement.  In giving such consent, we do not admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the United States Securities Act of 1933 , as amended, or the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder.

These opinions are expressed as of the date hereof, and we disclaim any undertaking to advise you of any subsequent changes in the facts stated or assumed herein or of any subsequent changes in applicable law.

Yours very truly,

PETERSON & COMPANY, LLP

BETWEEN,

CONVERTED CARBON TECHNOLOGIES CORP. (hereinafter called “CCT” or the “Corporation”),

OF THE FIRST PART;

And

RICHARD RUSINIAK, (hereinafter called the “Executive"),

OF THE SECOND PART.

WHEREAS, CCT is engaged in the business of cultivating and distributing Algae biomass, powders, tablets and oils (the "Business”);

AND WHEREAS, CCT has agreed to continue to employ the Executive, and the Executive has agreed to accept such continued employment and additional consideration for such employment , subject to the terms, conditions and covenants herein provided;

AND WHEREAS, it is the shared objective of CCT and Executive that CCT become established as a pre-eminent player in the North American market in the Business and it is acknowledged that the Executive is being employed and compensated for the purpose of bringing this about provided that, for greater certainty, the failure to achieve such shared objective shall not constitute a default or breach by the Executive hereunder;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained and after good and valuable consideration, CCT and the Executive, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

EMPLOYMENT

1.  
CCT hereby employs the Executive and the Executive agrees to be employed as CEO on the terms and conditions herein contained.

2.  
The Executive shall serve CCT with such duties and responsibilities as the Board of Directors of CCT may from time to time reasonably assign to him. These duties and responsibilities shall be commensurate with a president of a business of comparable size and type, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the duty to manage, supervise and conduct the ordinary and usual business and affairs of CCT and to advise CCT in connection therewith. Unless the Executive determines otherwise, the Executive shall, throughout the term of his employment hereunder and so long as the Executive is the beneficial owner (directly or indirectly) of at least 5% of the issued and outstanding common shares of CCT, be a director of CCT. During the currency of this Agreement, the Executive shall devote the whole of his time and attention to the Business and shall not, without the consent in writing of CCT, undertake any other business or occupation or become an executive, employee or agent of any other corporation, firm or individual.
 
 
 

 
 
3.  
The Executive shall not be required to reside outside of the Greater Toronto region in connection with this employment, unless specifically agreed to by the Executive.

COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS

 
4.  
Effective as of July 1 st ., 2014, (the “Effective Date”), the Executive shall receive a base salary from CCT of $120,000 per annum (the “Base Salary"), less statutory deductions, payable in equal bi-weekly installments. Such compensation shall be subject to review annually provided that: (a) the Base Salary shall not be reduced; and (b) CCT shall be under no obligation to increase the Base Salary at the time of any review. Upon the Effective Date, CCT shall make, on behalf of the Executive, the maximum allowable contribution to his RRSP (not to exceed $30,000 per year) in each year, as well as providing him with a car allowance of up to $750 per month.

5.  
The Executive shall be entitled to participate in the benefits made available by CCT generally to its Executives and employees generally from time to time including, but not by way of limitation, medical, hospital, dental and extended health care benefits and life insurance and disability insurance.

6.  
The Executive shall be entitled to participate in equity and other incentive compensation plans that may be established and administered by the Board of Directors or a Compensation Committee that may be established by the Board of Directors provided, however, that nothing herein shall mandate a particular level of grant or participation.

7.  
CCT shall pay all normal business expenses as approved under CCT’s normal business practices by CCT's Chief Financial Officer, which are actually and properly incurred by the Executive in furtherance of or in connection with the business of CCT, including, but not by way of limitation, all travel and parking expenses, public relations expenses and all entertainment expenses. If any such expenses are paid in the first instance by the Executive, CCT shall reimburse him therefor, subject to the receipt by CCT of statements and vouchers in a form reasonably satisfactory to CCT’s Chief Financial Officer.

 
8.  
The Executive shall be entitled to up to five (5) weeks paid vacation in each calendar year; provided that such vacation may be taken only at such times as the Executive and CCT may from time to time reasonably determine having regard to the operations of CCT; and provided further that such vacation not taken within the year may not be carried forward into any subsequent years.
 
 
 

 
 
TERM AND TERMINATION

9.  
The term of the Executive's employment shall be three (3) years commencing on the Effective Date unless sooner terminated in accordance with the provisions of paragraphs 10 through 13.

10.  
The term of Executive’s employment and this Agreement shall terminate upon the Executive’s death or Disability.  For the purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” shall mean a physical or mental impairment which substantially limits a major life activity of the Executive and which renders the Executive unable to perform the essential functions of the Executive’s position, even with reasonable accommodation which does not impose an undue hardship on CCT, for ninety (90) days in any consecutive one-hundred eighty (180) day period. The Board reserves the right, in good faith, to make the determination of whether or not a Disability exists for purposes of this Agreement based upon information supplied by the Executive and/or his medical personnel, as well as information from medical personnel (or others) selected by CCT or its insurers.  If the Executive’s employment is terminated pursuant to this paragraph 10, the Executive, or his estate, shall be entitled to payment of accrued salary, awarded but unpaid bonuses and accrued and unused vacation pay through to the date of death or Disability.

11.  
The Executive’s employment by CCT, and the term, may be terminated at any time during the term by the Executive, on no less than sixty (60) days prior written notice to CCT.  If the Executive’s employment is terminated pursuant to this paragraph 11, the Executive, shall be entitled to payment of accrued salary, awarded but unpaid bonuses and accrued and unused vacation pay through to the date of termination.  Notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement pursuant to this paragraph 11, the provisions of paragraphs 14 through 16 shall survive.

a.  
If the Executive's employment is terminated by CCT other than upon the expiry of this Agreement, death or Disability, upon a Change in Control pursuant to paragraph 13 or for Just Cause (as defined below), the Executive shall be entitled to an amount equal to twelve (12) months compensation including benefits payable hereunder which shall be increased by one month for each full year of service completed hereunder. In addition, the Executive shall be entitled to be paid the full amount owing in respect of any loans made to the Corporation by the Executive provided that if the Board of CCT determines that making such payment would not be in the best interests of CCT, CCT and the Executive shall negotiate in good faith to agree upon an acceptable repayment schedule. Such payments shall be the only entitlement of the Executive upon termination and the Executive acknowledges that it is fair and reasonable.

12.  
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the employment of the Executive may at the option of CCT, be terminated by CCT without notice and without pay in lieu of notice for any Just Cause. "Just Cause" shall mean:
 
 
 

 
 
a)  
The Executive’s willful and material failure to perform his duties hereunder (other than any such failure due to the Executive's physical or mental illness), or the Executive's willful and material breach of his obligations hereunder;
b)  
The Executive’s engaging in willful and serious misconduct that has caused or is reasonably expected to result in material injury to the Corporation;
c)  
The Executive’s being convicted of, or entering a plea of guilty or nolo contendre to, a crime that constitutes a felony; or
d)  
The Executive’s failure or inability to obtain or retain any license required to be obtained or retained by him in any jurisdiction in which the Corporation does or proposes to do business.

and for the purpose of this definition, no act or failure to act on the Executive's part shall be considered "willful" unless done or omitted to be done by him not in good faith and without reasonable belief that his action or omission was in the best interest of CCT.   If the Executive’s employment is terminated pursuant to this paragraph 13, the Executive, shall be entitled to payment of accrued salary, awarded but unpaid bonuses and accrued and unused vacation pay through to the date of termination.  Notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement pursuant to this paragraph 12, the provisions of paragraphs 14 through 16 shall survive.

13.  
In the event of a “Change in Control” and the occurrence of a “Triggering Event" as defined herein, the Executive's employment will be deemed terminated without Just Cause and without reasonable notice and the Executive will be entitled to the payment of $250,000 together with an additional amount equal to one month’s base salary for each full year of service completed pursuant to this Agreement in lieu of such notice.  In addition, any options to purchase shares of the Corporation issued to the Executive but not fully vested on the date of such deemed termination shall vest. A Change in Control means a transaction or series of transactions whereby directly or indirectly:

a)

b)  
the Corporation shall consolidate or merge with or into, amalgamate with or enter into a statutory arrangement with, any other Person (other than a corporation controlled directly or indirectly by the Executive) and, in connection therewith, all or part of the outstanding shares of the Corporation which have voting rights attached thereto shall be changed in any way, reclassified or converted into, exchanged or otherwise acquired for shares or other securities of the Corporation or any other Person or for cash or any other property, in which case the Change in Control shall be deemed to occur on the date of closing of the consolidation, merger, amalgamation or statutory arrangement, as the case may be; or
 
 
 

 
 
c)  
the Corporation shall sell or otherwise transfer, including by way of the grant of a leasehold Interest (or one or more subsidiaries of the Corporation shall sell or otherwise transfer, including without limitation by way of the grant of a leasehold interest) property or assets (A) aggregating more than 50% of the consolidated assets (measured by either book value or fair market value) of the Corporation and its subsidiaries as at the end of the most recently completed financial year of the Corporation or (B) which during the most recently completed financial year  of  the  Corporation  generated, or  during the  then  current  financial year of the Corporation are expected to generate, more than 50% of the consolidated operating income or cash flow of the Corporation and its subsidiaries, to any other Person or Persons, in which case the Change in Control shall be deemed to occur on the date of transfer of the assets representing one dollar more than 50% of the consolidated assets in the case of clause (A) or 50% of the consolidated operating income or cash flow in the case of clause (B),as the case may be:
d)  
other than a transaction  or series of  transactions  which involves a sale of securities or assets of the Corporation with which the Executive is involved as a purchaser in any manner, whether  directly  or  indirectly, and  whether by way of participation in  a corporation or partnership that is a purchaser or by provision of debt, equity or purchase leaseback financing, but excluding where the Executive's sole involvement with such a purchase is the ownership of an equity interest of less than 5% of the acquirer where the acquirer is a public entity, and the  Executive and persons acting jointly  and in concert with the Executive hold securities of the acquirer which, directly, or following the conversion or exercise thereof, would entitle the holders thereof to cast 5% or more of the votes attached to all shares or other interests of the acquirer which may be cast to elect directors or the management of the acquirers;

"Triggering Event" means any one of the following events which occurs without the express agreement in writing of the Executive:

a)  
an adverse change in any of the duties, powers, rights, discretion, salary or  benefits of the Executive as they exist immediately prior to the Change of Control;

 a diminution of the title of the Executive as it exists immediately to the Change of Control;
c)

d)  
 a change in the location at which the Executive is regularly required immediately prior to the Change of Control to carry out the terms of his employment with the Corporation.

MISCELLANEOUS

17.  
Except for any matters for which this Agreement expressly provides otherwise, any matter in dispute under or relating to this Agreement shall, unless settled in the manner provided by paragraph 18(a), be finally resolved by binding arbitration.

a)  
The parties wish to foster a mutually beneficial relationship under this Agreement and to encourage an informal mechanism for the resolution of disputes.  Either party may at any time notify the other party of an intention to discuss or dispute any matter connected with this Agreement. Within 5 days of receiving such notification, the parties shall each appoint a representative knowledgeable on the topic at issue and such representatives shall meet within the following 5 days in an attempt to settle the matter at issue. If the representatives of the parties are unable to resolve the matter at issue within 5 days of their first meeting, then either party may refer the matter at issue to binding arbitration in accordance with this paragraph 18.
b)  
 In the event that the parties are unable to resolve a disagreement or dispute pursuant to section 16(a), either party may serve a notice on the other party of its  intention to formally arbitrate, pursuant to the provisions  of  the  Arbitration  Act  1991  (Ontario)  stating  with  reasonable particularity the subject matter of such dispute. Within 15 days of service of such notice the parties shall appoint a single Arbitrator. Should the parties be unable to agree upon a single arbitrator within such 15 day period, then either party may at any time thereafter select its own arbitrator and may serve notice upon the other party to select an arbitrator.  Upon receipt of such notice the other party shall have 5 days in which to appoint an arbitrator. The two arbitrators thus selected shall appoint a third arbitrator within 5 days of the appointment of the second arbitrator, and the three arbitrators shall constitute a board of arbitrators (herein referred to as called the “Board of Arbitrators”) which shall determine the matter. If either party shall fail to name an arbitrator within 5 days at receipt of a demand to do so upon application by the party that has appointed an arbitrator the second arbitrator shall be appointed by any Judge of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice. If the two arbitrators shall fail to appoint the third arbitrator, then upon application by either party such third arbitrator shall be appointed by any Judge of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice. The arbitrator or arbitrators selected to act hereunder shall be qualified by education and training to pass upon the particular question in dispute. Unless otherwise agreed by the parties, each party shall bear the costs it incurs in connection with the arbitration and all other costs of the arbitration shall be borne equally by the parties hereto.
c)  
The decision of the single arbitrator or the Board of Arbitrators or the majority thereof shall be communicated to the parties not later than 30 days after the close of argument in the arbitration, subject to any reasonable delay due to unforeseen circumstances. The decision of the single arbitrator or of the majority of the Board of Arbitrators, as the case  may be, shall be drawn up in writing and signed and shall, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Arbitration Act of the Province of Ontario and subject to the specific  provisions of  and limitations in this Agreement, be final and binding upon the parties hereto and all persons claiming through or under them as to any question or questions so submitted to arbitration, and the parties shall perform the terms and conditions thereof.  Judgment upon the award rendered by the single arbitrator or the majority of the Board of Arbitrators, as the case may be, may be entered in any Court having jurisdiction and thereupon execution or other legal process may issue thereon.
 
 
 

 
 
d)  
The obligations of the patties under this Agreement shall continue to be performed during the dispute resolution proceedings contemplated by this section.

18.  
In the event that any clause or option of any covenant herein should be unenforceable or be declared invalid for any reason whatsoever, such enforceability or invalidity shall not affect the enforceability or validity of the remaining portions of the covenants and such unenforceable or invalid portions shall be severable from the remainder of this Agreement. The Executive hereby acknowledges and agrees that all restrictions contained in this Agreement are reasonable and valid and all defenses to the strict enforcement thereof by CCT are hereby waived by him.

19.  
Subject to the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (Ontario), CCT agrees to indemnify and save the Executive harmless from and against all costs,  charges and expenses, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment, reasonably incurred by him in respect of any civil, criminal or administrative action or proceeding to which the Executive is made a party by reason of having been a director or officer of CCT, if the Executive acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of CCT.

20.  
CCT covenants and agrees to obtain, as soon as possible after the Effective Date appropriate and commercially reasonable liability insurance for the Executive with respect to his being a director and officer of CCT.

The obligations of the patties under this Agreement shall continue to be performed during the dispute resolution proceedings contemplated by this section.

18.

The arbitrator or arbitrators selected to act hereunder shall be qualified by education and training to pass upon the particular question in dispute. Unless otherwise agreed by the parties, each party shall bear the costs it incurs in connection with the arbitration and all other costs of the arbitration shall be borne equally by the parties hereto.
c)  
The decision of the single arbitrator or the Board of Arbitrators or the majority thereof shall be communicated to the parties not later than 30 days after the close of argument in the arbitration, subject to any reasonable delay due to unforeseen circumstances. The decision of the single arbitrator or of the majority of the Board of Arbitrators, as the case may be, shall be drawn up in writing and signed and shall, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Arbitration Act of the Province of Ontario and subject to the specific  provisions of  and limitations in this Agreement, be final and binding upon the parties hereto and all persons claiming through or under them as to any question or questions so submitted to arbitration, and the parties shall perform the terms and conditions thereof.  Judgment upon the award rendered by the single arbitrator or the majority of the Board of Arbitrators, as the case may be, may be entered in any Court having jurisdiction and thereupon execution or other legal process may issue thereon.

The amounts so estimated shall be payable by Tenant in advance in equal monthly instalments over the fiscal period, such monthly instalments being payable on the same day as the monthly payments of Basic Rent. Landlord may, from time to time, designate or alter the fiscal period selected in each case.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Landlord has the right to remove samples from the Premises, interview Tenant's employees and conduct such physical inspections of the Premises and examination of such documentation relating to the Premises (which documentation Tenant agrees to make available at the Premises) and Tenant's compliance with the provisions of this Section 8.1 1 as Landlord may deem necessary. All such information shall be used by Landlord solely for the purpose of ensuring compliance by Tenant with the provisions of this Section 8.1 1 and, otherwise, such information shall (except to the extent disseminated to or amongst Landlord's subsidiaries, assigns, affiliates, agents, property managers and base Building engineers and consultants) be kept strictly confidential.

If this Lease is terminated prior to the expiry of the Term in accordance with the provisions of Article 16 of this Lease, Landlord, at its option (acting in its sole and absolute discretion), as soon as reasonably possible following any such termination, may itself obtain the Assessment from its environmental consultant ("Landlord Consultant") and all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in so doing, together with an administration charge equal to fifteen percent (15%) of such costs and expenses, shall be payable forthwith by Tenant to Landlord as Additional Rent. If   any Assessment reveals the existence of any Hazardous Substances for which Tenant is responsible hereunder at the Premises or on or about the Project or the Lands or which emanates therefrom onto any adjacent property, then Tenant will, at its sole cost and expense, be required to remove same to the satisfaction of the Approved Consultant or Landlord's Consultant, as the case may be, and to the satisfaction of Landlord, in their sole and absolute discretion (the "Remediation"). In completing the Remediation, Tenant will act diligently and expeditiously and in a good and workmanlike manner, in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Lease and all applicable Laws, and in such manner so as to minimize interference with the use and operation of the Project by Landlord and the other tenants and occupants thereof. If   such Remediation cannot reasonably be completed prior to the expiry or sooner surrender of the Term, or if such Remediation is being completed following the earlier termination of the Term (whether or not such Remediation is being completed by Tenant or Landlord), the provisions of subsection 11.4(b) of this Lease shall apply. Tenant will compensate Landlord, its successors and assigns, for any demolition or destruction of, on, under or to the Project which results from the Remediation and Tenant will, at its sole cost and expense, repair or replace the Premises or any buildings or other leasehold improvements in or on the Premises or the Project and any demolished or destroyed property on, under or attached to the Premises or any portion of the Project following such Remediation, including the removal, treatment, disposal, restoration and replacement of the soil or any other part of the Project as may be required by Landlord, or any Authority pursuant to any Environmental Laws and shall restore the Project to the condition in which it existed prior to the commencement of such Remediation (and, otherwise, to the condition in which the Project existed prior to the contamination for which such Remediation is required) using building materials of like kind and quality but which, in any event, must be acceptable to Landlord, acting reasonably. Prior to commencing any Remediation, Tenant will provide Landlord with a written scope of work (prepared by Tenant at its expense) for Landlord's written approval, not to be unreasonably withheld, and Tenant will deliver to Landlord any related bonds or other financial assurances as may be required by Landlord in connection therewith. Landlord shall be entitled to have Landlord Consultant attend during the Remediation (and any testing, inspections, surveys and studies in connection therewith) and Landlord shall be entitled to itself take duplicate samples of any material being sampled, all at Tenant's sole cost and expense. Tenant will provide duplicate copies to Landlord of any inspection, investigation or assessment reports conducted or prepared in connection with the Remediation and same shall be accompanied by a Reliance Letter. In the event of any dispute hereunder between Landlord Consultant and the Approved Consultant, the opinion of Landlord Consultant shall be final and binding upon the parties.

(d)   Tenant will not be permitted to carry out any type of risk assessment of the Premises or the Project as purported compliance with the requirements of this Section 8.11 and this subsection 8.11(d) supersedes any other provision of this Lease to the contrary.
 
(e)   Any Hazardous Substances on or about the Premises for which Tenant is liable pursuant to this Section 8.1 1 will remain the sole and exclusive property of Tenant and will not become the property of Landlord, notwithstanding the degree of affixation to the Premises. This affirmation of Tenant's interest in the Hazardous Substances or the goods containing the Hazardous Substances shall not, however, prohibit Landlord from dealing with such material as otherwise provided for in this Lease.
 
  (f)        Tenant has completed the environmental questionnaire attached hereto as Schedule "D" and agrees to forthwith advise Landlord, in writing, of any amendments thereto.
 
  (g) Wherever in this Section 8.11, reference is made to, or an obligation or restriction is imposed on, Tenant, same shall be deemed to include Tenant and/or any Tenant's Parties.

(e)   To the extent any utility is not measured by way of separate meters Landlord, acting reasonably, shall allocate the cost of same among the various users thereof and such allocation by Landlord shall be final and binding upon Tenant.   If   Landlord, acting reasonably, determines Tenant to be an excess consumer of any such utility (not separately metered) in the Premises, at Landlord's option, Tenant will install at its expense a separate meter or check meter to measure the consumption of same, the type of meter and location to be as determined by Landlord. Whether or not there are separate meters or checks meters measuring the utilities consumed in the Premises, Landlord, acting reasonably, may charge (and Tenant will pay for) such utilities based on Landlord's estimate or Tenant's Proportionate  Share.

Any replacement of the HVAC Units which may from time to time be required, as determined by Landlord, shall be completed by Landlord, the costs for which shall be included in Operating Costs, except to the extent to which such replacements are necessitated due to the act or omission of Tenant or Tenant's Parties, in which event Tenant will be responsible for the cost of same, plus fifteen percent (15%) of such cost as Landlord's overhead, as Additional Rent, payable to Landlord forthwith upon demand therefor.

  (f)   Tenant shall be entitled to advertise the availability of the whole or any portion of the Premises for lease, subject to receipt of Landlord's prior written consent to such advertising, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, it being hereby confirmed that in no event shall such advertising contain any reference to rental rates.

WHEREAS:
 
A.  
By a lease of even date ("Lease") between Landlord and Tenant, Landlord leased to Tenant premises known as Unit 37 (the "Premises") in the building municipally known  as 4120 Ridgeway Drive, Mississauga, Ontario, as more particularly described in the Lease, for a term of five (5) years, commencing on December 1, 2013 and expiring on November 30, 2018;
 
B.  
To induce Landlord to enter into the Lease, Tenant will, concurrently with its execution and delivery to Landlord of the Lease and this Agreement, deliver to Landlord a rent deposit in the amount of  Six Thousand, Four Hundred, Sixteen Dollars and Seventy-Eight Cents ($6,416.78), to  be  held  without interest on the terms and conditions set out in this Agreement;
 
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency whereof is hereby acknowledged by the parties hereto, the parties hereto make the following agreement:
 
1.  
Upon Landlord's receipt thereof the amount of Two Thousand, Four Hundred, Sixteen Dollars and Seventy-Eight Cents ($2,416.78) shall be applied toward first Rent accruing due under the Lease and Landlord shall hold the balance of Four Thousand Dollars ($4,000.00) (the "Rent Deposit"), without interest, as a prepayment of the Rent payable by Tenant under the Lease during the Term and any renewals or extensions thereof and any tenancy resulting from an overholding, and to secure and may be applied against the other amounts referred to in paragraph 7 below.

2.  
If   at any time any Rent payable under the Lease shall be overdue, all or any portion of the Rent Deposit shall, at Landlord's option, be applied to the payment of any Rent then due and owing. Further, if Tenant defaults in the performance of any of the terms, covenants, conditions and provisions of the Lease as and when the same are due to be performed by Tenant, then all or any part of the Rent Deposit shall, at Landlord's option, be applied on account of any losses or damages sustained by Landlord as a result of such default.
 
3.  
If   all or any part of the Rent Deposit is applied by Landlord on account of the payment of Rent or on account of any default or any losses or damages sustained by Landlord as aforesaid, then Tenant shall, within three (3) days after demand from Landlord, remit to Landlord a sufficient amount in cash or by certified cheque to restore the Rent Deposit to the original sum required to be deposited as set forth herein plus interest on the amount of such default, loss or damages sustained by Landlord at a rate of three (3%) percent per annum in excess of the rate of interest known as the prime rate of interest charged by Landlord's bank in Ontario and which serves as the basis on which other interest rates are calculated for Canadian dollar loans in Ontario from time to time, from the date of default to the date the Rent Deposit is restored as aforesaid.
 
4.  
If:

(i)  
Tenant complies with all of the terms, covenants, conditions and provisions under the Lease;
 
(ii)  
the Lease has not been Disclaimed (as hereinafter defined) or terminated for any reason prior to the natural expiry date,

 
 

 
 
then, to the extent the Rent Deposit remains in Landlord's possession and has not been  applied to any of Tenant's obligations hereunder or under the Lease, Landlord shall return the balance of the Rent Deposit to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the expiry of the Lease.
 
5.  
Landlord may deliver the Rent Deposit, or such portion thereof remaining on hand to the credit of Tenant, to any purchaser, mortgagee or assignee of Landlord's interest in the Premises or the Project under the Lease or in the Lease and thereupon Landlord shall be and is hereby discharged from any further liability with respect to the Rent Deposit.
 
6.  
In the event of any bankruptcy, insolvency, winding-up or other creditors' proceeding, the Rent  Deposit shall be the absolute property of Landlord and shall, at Landlord's  option, be automatically  appropriated and applied against the Rent and any other amounts referred to in paragraph 7 below.
 
7.  
The Rent Deposit shall secure and may, at Landlord's option, be applied on account of any one or more of the following: (i) the due and punctual payment of all Rent and all other amounts of any kind whatsoever payable under the Lease by Tenant whether to Landlord or otherwise and whether or not relating to or payable in respect of the Premises, including, without  limitation, any amount which would have become payable under the Lease to the date of the expiry of the Lease had the Lease not been Disclaimed or terminated; (ii) the prompt and complete performance of all obligations contained in the Lease on the part of Tenant to be kept, observed and performed; (iii) the due and punctual payment of all other amounts payable by Tenant to Landlord; (iv) intentionally deleted; (v) the indemnification of Landlord in respect of any losses, costs or damages incurred Landlord arising out of any failure by Tenant to pay any rent or other amounts payable under the Lease or resulting from any failure by Tenant to observe or perform any of the other obligations contained in the Lease; (vi) liquidated damages in compensation  for the money spent by Landlord with respect to the Premises to make them ready for Tenant's use and occupancy; (vii) the reduction in value of the Premises as a result of Tenant's default; (viii) the  performance  of  any obligation which Tenant would have been obligated to perform to the date of the expiry of the Lease had the Lease not been Disclaimed or terminated; (ix) the losses or damages suffered by Landlord as a result of the Lease being Disclaimed or terminated or (x) the repayment of the unamortized portion as of the date the Lease is disclaimed or terminated of any allowances, inducements or other incentives paid by Landlord  in conjunction with the Lease.
 
8.  
The rights of Landlord hereunder in respect of the Rent Deposit shall continue in full force and effect and shall not be waived, released, discharged, impaired or affected by reason of  the release or discharge of Tenant or Indemnifier, if any, in any receivership, bankruptcy, insolvency, winding-up or other creditor's proceedings, including, without limitation, any proceedings under the Bankruptcy   and   Insolvency   Act   (Canada) or the Companies   Creditors   Arrangement   Act   (Canada), or the surrender, disclaimer, repudiation or termination of the Lease (individually and collectively referred to herein as "Disclaimed") in any such proceedings and shall continue with respect to the periods thereto and thereafter as if the Lease had not been Disclaimed.

Within three (3) Trading Days following the date of exercise as aforesaid, the Holder shall deliver the aggregate Exercise Price for the shares specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise by cash or bank draft. No ink-original Notice of Exercise shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Exercise form be required. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Holder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within three (3) Trading Days of the date the final Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company. Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares purchased and the date of such purchases.

e)  Mechanics of Exercise .
 
i.  Delivery of Warrant Shares Upon Exercise . The Company shall use best efforts to cause the Warrant Shares purchased hereunder to be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s broker with The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian system (“ DWAC ”) if the Company is then a participant in such system and there is an effective registration statement permitting the issuance of the Warrant Shares to or resale of the Warrant Shares by Holder, and otherwise by physical delivery to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise by the date that is one (1) Trading Day after the latest of (A) the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise and (B) surrender of this Warrant (if required) (such date, the “ Warrant Share Delivery Date ”). The Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been issued, and Holder or any other Person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such shares for all purposes, as of the date the Warrant has been exercised, with payment to the Company of the Exercise Price (or by cashless exercise, if permitted) and all taxes required to be paid by the Holder, if any, pursuant to Section 2(e)(v) prior to the issuance of such shares, having been paid.
 
ii.  Delivery of New Warrants Upon Exercise . If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request of a Holder and upon surrender of this Warrant, at the time of delivery of the Warrant Shares, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant.
 
iii.   Rescission Rights . If the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 2(e)(i) by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise. In the event of such rescission, Holder shall promptly execute such documents and take such actions as may be necessary to promptly return to the Company any Warrant Shares that have been issued and delivered to Holder following the Warrant Share Delivery Date.
 
iv.  No Fractional Shares or Scrip . No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall, at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price or round up to the next whole share.
 
v.  Charges, Taxes and Expenses . Issuance of Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such Warrant Shares, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such Warrant Shares shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided , however , that in the event Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto as Exhibit “B” duly executed by the Holder and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto. The Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees required for same-day processing of any Notice of Exercise.
 
vi.  Closing of Books . The Company will not close its shareholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms hereof.

Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.

b) If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, shall distribute to all holders of Common Shares (and not to the Holder) evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including cash and cash dividends) or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security, then in each such case the Exercise Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the record date fixed for determination of shareholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction of which the denominator shall be the ten-day volume-weighted average price (“ VWAP ”) of the Common Shares on the Trading Market determined as of the record date mentioned above, and of which the numerator shall be such VWAP on such record date less the fair market value at such record date of the portion of such assets or evidence of indebtedness or rights or warrants so distributed applicable to one outstanding Common Share as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in good faith. In either case the adjustments shall be described in a statement provided to the Holder of the portion of assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed or such subscription rights applicable to one Common Share. Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective immediately after the record date mentioned above.
 
c)  Subsequent Rights Offerings . If the Company, at any time while the Warrant is outstanding, shall issue rights, options or warrants to all holders of Common Shares (and not to the Holder) entitling them to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares at a price per share less than the VWAP on the record date mentioned below, then the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction, of which the denominator shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants plus the number of additional Common Shares offered for subscription or purchase, and of which the numerator shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants plus the number of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so offered (assuming receipt by the Company in full of all consideration payable upon exercise of such rights, options or warrants) would purchase at such VWAP. Such adjustment shall be made whenever such rights, options or warrants are issued, and shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such rights, options or warrants.
 
d)  Fundamental Transaction . If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company, directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Shares are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding Common Shares, (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Common Shares or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Shares are effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property, or (v) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with another Person or group of Persons whereby such other Person or group acquires more than 50% of the outstanding Common Shares (not including any Common Shares held by the other Person or other Persons making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other Persons making or party to, such stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination) (each a “ Fundamental Transaction ”), then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would otherwise have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the Holder (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant), the number of Common Shares or other securities of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “ Alternate Consideration ”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of Common Shares for which this Warrant has been exercised and would have been exercisable immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction. For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one Common Share in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Shares are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. The Company shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the survivor (the “ Successor Entity ”) to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3(d) and shall, at the option of the Holder, deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Warrant a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant which is exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent to the Common Shares acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with an exercise price which applies the Exercise Price hereunder, adjusted as applicable in accordance with the terms of the Fundamental Transaction, to such shares of capital stock. Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Warrant referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein. 
 
e) Calculations . All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 3, the number of Common Shares deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of Common Shares (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.
 
f) Notice to Holder .
 
i. Adjustment to Exercise Price . Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 3, the Company shall promptly mail to the Holder a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and any resulting adjustment to the number of Warrant Shares and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.
 
ii.            Notice to Allow Exercise by Holder . If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Common Shares, (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Shares, (C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Shares rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any shareholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Shares, any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Shares are converted into other securities, cash or property, or (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be mailed to the Holder at its last address as it shall appear upon the Warrant Register (as defined below) of the Company, at least 10 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Shares of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Shares of record shall be entitled to exchange their Common Shares for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange; provided that the failure to mail such notice or any defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. To the extent that any notice provided hereunder constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K. The Holder shall remain entitled to exercise this Warrant during the period commencing on the date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein

Within three (3) Trading Days following the date of exercise as aforesaid, the Holder shall deliver the aggregate Exercise Price for the shares specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise by cash or bank draft. No ink-original Notice of Exercise shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Exercise form be required. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Holder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within three (3) Trading Days of the date the final Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company. Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares purchased and the date of such purchases.

The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.

e)  Mechanics of Exercise .
 
i.  Delivery of Warrant Shares Upon Exercise . The Company shall use best efforts to cause the Warrant Shares purchased hereunder to be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s broker with The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian system (“ DWAC ”) if the Company is then a participant in such system and there is an effective registration statement permitting the issuance of the Warrant Shares to or resale of the Warrant Shares by Holder, and otherwise by physical delivery to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise by the date that is one (1) Trading Day after the latest of (A) the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise and (B) surrender of this Warrant (if required) (such date, the “ Warrant Share Delivery Date ”). The Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been issued, and Holder or any other Person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such shares for all purposes, as of the date the Warrant has been exercised, with payment to the Company of the Exercise Price (or by cashless exercise, if permitted) and all taxes required to be paid by the Holder, if any, pursuant to Section 2(e)(v) prior to the issuance of such shares, having been paid.
 
ii.  Delivery of New Warrants Upon Exercise . If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request of a Holder and upon surrender of this Warrant, at the time of delivery of the Warrant Shares, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant.
 
iii.   Rescission Rights . If the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 2(e)(i) by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise. In the event of such rescission, Holder shall promptly execute such documents and take such actions as may be necessary to promptly return to the Company any Warrant Shares that have been issued and delivered to Holder following the Warrant Share Delivery Date.
 
iv.  No Fractional Shares or Scrip . No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall, at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price or round up to the next whole share.
 
v.  Charges, Taxes and Expenses . Issuance of Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such Warrant Shares, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such Warrant Shares shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided , however , that in the event Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto as Exhibit “B” duly executed by the Holder and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto. The Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees required for same-day processing of any Notice of Exercise.
 
vi.  Closing of Books . The Company will not close its shareholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms hereof.

Section 3 . Certain Adjustments .
 
a) Stock Dividends and Splits . If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Share or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in Common Shares (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any Common Shares issued by the Company upon exercise of this Warrant), (ii) subdivides outstanding Common Shares into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding Common Shares into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issues by reclassification of the Common Shares any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of Common Shares (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after such event, and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.
 
b) If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, shall distribute to all holders of Common Shares (and not to the Holder) evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including cash and cash dividends) or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security, then in each such case the Exercise Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the record date fixed for determination of shareholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction of which the denominator shall be the ten-day volume-weighted average price (“ VWAP ”) of the Common Shares on the Trading Market determined as of the record date mentioned above, and of which the numerator shall be such VWAP on such record date less the fair market value at such record date of the portion of such assets or evidence of indebtedness or rights or warrants so distributed applicable to one outstanding Common Share as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in good faith. In either case the adjustments shall be described in a statement provided to the Holder of the portion of assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed or such subscription rights applicable to one Common Share. Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective immediately after the record date mentioned above.
 
c)  Subsequent Rights Offerings . If the Company, at any time while the Warrant is outstanding, shall issue rights, options or warrants to all holders of Common Shares (and not to the Holder) entitling them to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares at a price per share less than the VWAP on the record date mentioned below, then the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction, of which the denominator shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants plus the number of additional Common Shares offered for subscription or purchase, and of which the numerator shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants plus the number of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so offered (assuming receipt by the Company in full of all consideration payable upon exercise of such rights, options or warrants) would purchase at such VWAP. Such adjustment shall be made whenever such rights, options or warrants are issued, and shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such rights, options or warrants.
 
d)  Fundamental Transaction . If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company, directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Shares are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding Common Shares, (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Common Shares or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Shares are effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property, or (v) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with another Person or group of Persons whereby such other Person or group acquires more than 50% of the outstanding Common Shares (not including any Common Shares held by the other Person or other Persons making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other Persons making or party to, such stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination) (each a “ Fundamental Transaction ”), then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would otherwise have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the Holder (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant), the number of Common Shares or other securities of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “ Alternate Consideration ”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of Common Shares for which this Warrant has been exercised and would have been exercisable immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction. For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one Common Share in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Shares are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. The Company shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the survivor (the “ Successor Entity ”) to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3(d) and shall, at the option of the Holder, deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Warrant a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant which is exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent to the Common Shares acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with an exercise price which applies the Exercise Price hereunder, adjusted as applicable in accordance with the terms of the Fundamental Transaction, to such shares of capital stock. Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Warrant referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein. 
 
 
3

 
e) Calculations . All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 3, the number of Common Shares deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of Common Shares (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.
 
f) Notice to Holder .
 
i. Adjustment to Exercise Price . Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 3, the Company shall promptly mail to the Holder a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and any resulting adjustment to the number of Warrant Shares and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.
 
ii.            Notice to Allow Exercise by Holder . If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Common Shares, (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Shares, (C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Shares rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any shareholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Shares, any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Shares are converted into other securities, cash or property, or (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be mailed to the Holder at its last address as it shall appear upon the Warrant Register (as defined below) of the Company, at least 10 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Shares of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Shares of record shall be entitled to exchange their Common Shares for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange; provided that the failure to mail such notice or any defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. To the extent that any notice provided hereunder constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K. The Holder shall remain entitled to exercise this Warrant during the period commencing on the date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein.

The Company covenants that, during the period the Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Shares a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of all of the the Warrant Shares that may be issued upon the exercise of purchase rights under this Warrant.

h) Limitation of Liability . No provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative action by the Holder to exercise this Warrant to purchase Warrant Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder, shall give rise to any liability of the Holder for the purchase price of any Common Shares or as a shareholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.
 
i) Remedies . The Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Warrant.

Section 2 . Exercise of Warrant .
 
a) Exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be made, in whole or in part, at any time or times on or after the Initial Issuance Date and on or before the Termination Date by delivery to the Company (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice in writing to the registered Holder at the address of the Holder appearing on the books of the Company) of a duly executed facsimile copy of the Notice of Exercise Form annexed hereto as Exhibit “A”. Within three (3) Trading Days following the date of exercise as aforesaid, the Holder shall deliver or otherwise satisfy the aggregate Exercise Price for the shares specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise in one of the manners specified in Section 2 c). No ink-original Notice of Exercise shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Exercise form be required. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Holder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within three (3) Trading Days of the date the final Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company. Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased.

b) Exercise Price. The exercise price per Common Share under this Warrant shall be $0.28, subject to adjustment hereunder (the “Exercise Price”).
  
c) Payment of Exercise Price. Payment of the Exercise Price shall be made as in accordance with either subsection (i) or (ii) below at the option of the Holder:

(i) Cash Exercise: The Holder may make the required payment due upon exercise of this Warrant in cash, cashier’s check, or wire transfer, equal to the applicable Exercise Price (a “ Cash Exercise ”).

(ii) Cashless Exercise: The Holder may make the required payment due upon exercise of this Warrant in a cashless exercise transaction pursuant to this subsection (ii) (a “ Cashless Exercise ”). In order to effect a Cashless Exercise, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant at the principal office of the Company together with a Notice of Exercise in the form attached as Exhibit “A”, completed and executed, indicating Holder’s election to effect a Cashless Exercise, in which event the Company shall issue Holder a number of Common Shares computed using the following formula:  X = Y (A-B)/A

where:
 
X = the number of Common Shares to be issued to Holder;

 
 
Y = the number of Common Shares for which this Warrant is being Exercised;

 
 
A = the Market Price of one (1) Common Share (for purposes of this Section 2(c), where “ Market Price ,” means the VWAP (as defined herein) of one (1) Common Share during the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period immediately preceding the date of exercise; and

 
 
B = the Exercise Price.
 
For purposes of Rule 144 under the Securities Act and sub-section (d)(3)(ii) thereof, it is intended, understood and acknowledged that the Common Shares issued upon exercise of this Warrant in a Cashless Exercise transaction shall be deemed to have been acquired at the time this Warrant was issued. Moreover, it is intended, understood and acknowledged that the holding period for the Common Shares issued upon exercise of this Warrant in a Cashless Exercise transaction shall be deemed to have commenced on the date this Warrant was issued.
 
d)  Mechanics of Exercise .
 
i.  Delivery of Warrant Shares Upon Exercise . The Company shall use best efforts to cause the Warrant Shares purchased hereunder to be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s broker with The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian system (“ DWAC ”) if the Company is then a participant in such system and either (A) there is an effective registration statement permitting the issuance of the Warrant Shares to or resale of the Warrant Shares by Holder or (B) this Warrant is being exercised via Cashless Exercise, and otherwise by physical delivery to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise by the date that is one (1) Trading Day after the latest of (A) the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise and (B) surrender of this Warrant (if required) (such date, the “ Warrant Share Delivery Date ”). The Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been issued, and Holder or any other Person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such shares for all purposes, as of the date the Warrant has been exercised, with payment to the Company of the Exercise Price (or by Cashless Exercise) and all taxes required to be paid by the Holder, if any, pursuant to Section 2(d)(v) prior to the issuance of such shares, having been paid.
 
ii.  Delivery of New Warrants Upon Exercise . If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request of a Holder and upon surrender of this Warrant certificate, at the time of delivery of the Warrant Shares, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant.
 
iii)   Rescission Rights . If the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise. In the event of such rescission, Holder shall promptly execute such documents and take such actions as may be necessary to promptly return to the Company any Warrant Shares that have been issued an delivered to the Holder following the Warrant Share Delivery Date.
 
iv)   No Fractional Shares or Scrip . No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall, at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price or round up to the next whole share.
 
 
2

 
v)   Charges, Taxes and Expenses . Issuance of Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such Warrant Shares, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such Warrant Shares shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided , however , that in the event Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto as Exhibit “B” duly executed by the Holder and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto. The Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees required for same-day processing of any Notice of Exercise.
 
vi)  Closing of Books . The Company will not close its shareholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms hereof.
 
Section 3 . Certain Adjustments .
 
a) Stock Dividends and Splits . If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Share or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in Common Shares (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any Common Shares issued by the Company upon exercise of this Warrant), (ii) subdivides outstanding Common Shares into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding Common Shares into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issues by reclassification of the Common Shares any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of Common Shares (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after such event, and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.
 
b) If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, shall distribute to all holders of Common Shares (and not to the Holder) evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including cash and cash dividends) or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security, then in each such case the Exercise Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the record date fixed for determination of shareholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction of which the denominator shall be the ten-day volume-weighted average price (“ VWAP ”) of the Common Shares on the Trading Market determined as of the record date mentioned above, and of which the numerator shall be such VWAP on such record date less the fair market value at such record date of the portion of such assets or evidence of indebtedness or rights or warrants so distributed applicable to one outstanding Common Share as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in good faith. In either case the adjustments shall be described in a statement provided to the Holder of the portion of assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed or such subscription rights applicable to one Common Share. Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective immediately after the record date mentioned above.
 
c)  Subsequent Rights Offerings . If the Company, at any time while the Warrant is outstanding, shall issue rights, options or warrants to all holders of Common Shares (and not to the Holder) entitling them to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares at a price per share less than the VWAP on the record date mentioned below, then the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction, of which the denominator shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants plus the number of additional Common Shares offered for subscription or purchase, and of which the numerator shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants plus the number of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so offered (assuming receipt by the Company in full of all consideration payable upon exercise of such rights, options or warrants) would purchase at such VWAP. Such adjustment shall be made whenever such rights, options or warrants are issued, and shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such rights, options or warrants.
 
d)  Fundamental Transaction . If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company, directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Shares are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding Common Shares, (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Common Shares or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Shares are effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property, or (v) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with another Person or group of Persons whereby such other Person or group acquires more than 50% of the outstanding Common Shares (not including any Common Shares held by the other Person or other Persons making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other Persons making or party to, such stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination) (each a “ Fundamental Transaction ”), then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would otherwise have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the Holder (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant), the number of Common Shares or other securities of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “ Alternate Consideration ”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of Common Shares for which this Warrant has been exercised and would have been exercisable immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction. For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one Common Share in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Shares are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. The Company shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the survivor (the “ Successor Entity ”) to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3(d) and shall, at the option of the Holder, deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Warrant a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant which is exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent to the Common Shares acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with an exercise price which applies the Exercise Price hereunder, adjusted as applicable in accordance with the terms of the Fundamental Transaction, to such shares of capital stock. Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Warrant referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein. 
 
 
3

 
e) Calculations . All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 3, the number of Common Shares deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of Common Shares (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.
 
f) Notice to Holder .
 
i. Adjustment to Exercise Price . Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 3, the Company shall promptly mail to the Holder a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and any resulting adjustment to the number of Warrant Shares and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.
 
ii.            Notice to Allow Exercise by Holder . If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Common Shares, (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Shares, (C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Shares rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any shareholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Shares, any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Shares are converted into other securities, cash or property, or (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be mailed to the Holder at its last address as it shall appear upon the Warrant Register (as defined below) of the Company, at least 10 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Shares of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Shares of record shall be entitled to exchange their Common Shares for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange; provided that the failure to mail such notice or any defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. To the extent that any notice provided hereunder constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K.

Except and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its articles of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of Holder as set forth in this Warrant against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (i) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor upon exercise immediately prior to such increase in par value, (ii) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant and (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof, as may be necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.
 
Before taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the Exercise Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.
 
e) Jurisdiction . This Warrant shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein.
  
f) Restrictions . The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant, if not registered, will have restrictions upon resale imposed by provincial, state and federal securities laws.  By exercising this Warrant, the Holder consents to any restrictive legend the Company may require to ensure compliance with the provincial, state and federal securities laws, if applicable.
 
g) Notices . All notices and other communications given or made pursuant to this Warrant shall be in writing and shall be deemed effectively given upon the earlier of actual receipt or (i) personal delivery to the party to be notified; (ii) when sent, if sent by  electronic mail or facsimile during the recipient’s normal business hours, and if not sent during normal business hours, then on the recipient’s next business day; (iii) five (5) days after having been sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid; or (iv) one (1) business day after the business day of deposit with a nationally recognized overnight courier, freight prepaid, specifying next-day delivery, with written verification of receipt.  All communications shall be sent to the respective parties at their addresses as set forth in the Warrant Register or another address specified by the Holder in writing given pursuant to this subparagraph (h), or, if to the Company, at 4120 Ridgeway Drive, Unit 37, Mississauga, Ontario L5L 5S9, Canada.  If notice is given to the Company, a copy shall also be sent to J.P. Galda & Co., 143 Clover Hollow Road, Easton, PA, 18045.
 
h) Limitation of Liability . No provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative action by the Holder to exercise this Warrant to purchase Warrant Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder, shall give rise to any liability of the Holder for the purchase price of any Common Shares or as a shareholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.
 
i) Remedies . The Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Warrant. The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Warrant and hereby agrees to waive and not to assert the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.
 
j)  Successors and Assigns . Subject to applicable securities laws, this Warrant and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the Company and the successors and permitted assigns of Holder. The provisions of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of any Holder from time to time of this Warrant and shall be enforceable by the Holder or holder of Warrant Shares.
 
k)  Amendment . This Warrant may be modified or amended or the provisions hereof waived with the written consent of both the Company and the Holder.
 
l)  Severability . Wherever possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of this Warrant.
 
m)  Headings . The headings used in this Warrant are for convenience of reference only and shall not, for any purpose, be deemed a part of this Warrant.

CONFIDENTIALITY AND PROPRIETARY INFORMATION AGREEMENT

In consideration of your engagement as an independent contractor or consultant with Converted Carbon Technologies Corp. (the “Company”), the undersigned (the “Consultant”) agrees and covenants as follows:

1. Engagement with the Company as an independent contractor or consultant (“Engagement”) will give the Consultant access to proprietary and confidential information belonging to the Company, its customers, its suppliers and others (the proprietary and confidential information is collectively referred to in this Agreement as “Confidential Information”). Confidential Information includes but is not limited to customer lists, marketing plans, proposals, contracts, technical and/or financial information, databases, software and know-how. All Confidential Information remains the confidential and proprietary information of the Company.

2. As referred to herein, the “Business of the Company” shall relate to the business of the Company as the same is determined by the Board of Directors of the Company from time to time.

3. The Consultant may in the course of the Consultant’s Engagement with the Company conceive, develop or contribute to material or information related to the Business of the Company, including, without limitation, software, technical documentation, ideas, inventions (whether or not patentable), hardware, know-how, marketing plans, designs, techniques, documentation and records, regardless of the form or media, if any, on which such is stored (referred to in this Agreement as “Proprietary Property”). The Company shall exclusively own, and the Consultant does hereby assign to the Company, all Proprietary Property which the Consultant conceives, develops or contributes to in the course of the Consultant’s Engagement with the Company and all intellectual and industrial property and other rights of any kind in or relating to the Proprietary Property, including but not limited to all copyright, patent, trade secret and trade-mark rights in or relating to the Proprietary Property. Material or information conceived, developed or contributed to by the Consultant outside work hours on the Company’s premises or through the use of the Company’s property and/or assets shall also be Proprietary Property and be governed by this Agreement if such material or information relates to the Business of the Company. The Consultant shall keep full and accurate records accessible at all times to the Company relating to all Proprietary Property and shall promptly disclose and deliver to the Company all Proprietary Property.

4. The Consultant shall, both during and after the Consultant’s Engagement with the Company, keep all Confidential Information and Proprietary Property confidential and shall not use any of it except for the purpose of carrying out authorized activities on behalf of the Company. The Consultant may, however, use or disclose Confidential Information which:

(i) is or becomes public other than through a breach of this Agreement;
(ii) is known to the Consultant prior to the date of this Agreement and with respect to which the Consultant does not have any obligation of confidentiality; or
(iii) is required to be disclosed by law, whether under an order of a court or government tribunal or other legal process, provided that Consultant informs the Company of such requirement in sufficient time to allow the Company to avoid such disclosure by the Consultant.

The Consultant shall return or destroy, as directed by the Company, Confidential Information, Proprietary Property and any other Company property to the Company upon request by the Company at any time. The Consultant shall certify, by way of affidavit or statutory declaration, that all such Confidential Information, Proprietary Property or Company property has been returned or destroyed, as applicable.

5. The Consultant covenants and agrees not to make any unauthorized use whatsoever of or to bring onto the Company’s premises for the purpose of making any unauthorized use whatsoever of any trade secrets, confidential information or proprietary property of any third party, including without limitation any trade-marks or copyrighted materials, during the course of the Consultant’s Engagement with the Company.

6. At the reasonable request and at the sole expense of the Company, the Consultant shall do all reasonable acts necessary and sign all reasonable documentation necessary in order to ensure the Company’s ownership of the Proprietary Property, the Company property and all intellectual and industrial property rights and other rights in the same, including but not limited to providing to the Company written assignments of all rights to the Company and any other documents required to enable the Company to document rights to and/or register patents, copyrights, trade-marks, industrial designs and such other protections as the Company considers advisable anywhere in the world.

7. The Consultant hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives all moral rights the Consultant may now or in the future have in any Proprietary Property.

8. The Consultant agrees that the Consultant will, if requested from time to time by the Company, execute such further reasonable agreements as to confidentiality and proprietary rights as the Company’s customers or suppliers reasonably require to protect confidential information or proprietary property.

9. Regardless of any changes in position, fees or otherwise, including, without limitation, termination of the Consultant’s Engagement with the Company, unless otherwise stipulated pursuant to the terms hereof, the Consultant will continue to be subject to each of the terms and conditions of this Agreement and any other(s) executed pursuant to the preceding paragraph.

10. The Consultant agrees that the Consultant’s sole and exclusive remedy for any breach by the Company of this Agreement will be limited to monetary damages and in case of any breach by the Company of this Agreement or any other Agreement between the Consultant and the Company, the Consultant will not make any claim in respect of any rights to or interest in any Confidential Information or Proprietary Property.

11. The Consultant acknowledges that the services provided by the Consultant to the Company under this Agreement are unique. The Consultant further agrees that irreparable harm will be suffered by the Company in the event of the Consultant’s breach or threatened breach of any of his or her obligations under this Agreement, and that the Company will be entitled to seek, in addition to any other rights and remedies that it may have at law or equity, a temporary or permanent injunction restraining the Consultant from engaging in or continuing any such breach hereof. Any claims asserted by the Consultant against the Company shall not constitute a defence in any injunction action, application or motion brought against the Consultant by the Company.

12. This Agreement is governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the parties agree to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Province of Ontario in relation to this Agreement.

13. If any provision of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision shall be deleted and the other provisions shall remain in effect.
