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:

|
● | Sustainability of marine sources of omega-3 is rapidly becoming a key concern, particularly in light of the recent estimate by the Global Organization for EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) Omega -3 “GOED” indicating that based on the World health Organization’s omega-3 intake recommendation of 250 milligrams (mg) per day, 650 thousand metric tons of DHA and EPA are required relative to current ocean capacity of 530,000 tons. (source: www.nutraingredients-usa.com October 2014) |
● | 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. |

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.
|
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.
|
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.
|
4.
|
CO
2
delivery
must
be
efficient
.
Most systems rely on “bubbling” of CO2 into the algae allowing large amounts to pass through the culture to the atmosphere reducing CO
2
sequestration by the algae.
|
5.
|
Land
area
must
be
minimized
. Using large tracts of land for cultivating algae can be costly and inefficient.
|
6.
|
Operating
and
energy
costs
must
be
minimized
.
Although some photobioreactor designs have demonstrated excellent algae yields, their maintenance costs are high.

In connection with a private placement offering completed during the year ended March 31, 2015, the Company granted an aggregate of 300,383 share purchase warrants each exercisable into one common share at $1.68 during the first year and at $2.24 during the second year. The fair value of the warrants at the date of grant of $171,308 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 years.

|
In connection with a second private placement offering completed during the year ended March 31, 2015, the Company granted an aggregate of 8,850 share purchase warrants each exercisable into one common share at USD$2.00 ($2.54) until November 30, 2016. The fair value of the warrants at the date of grant of $6,213 was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, based on the following weighted average assumptions: expected dividend yield of 0%; expected volatility of 124%; risk free interest rate of 1.02%; and expected term of 2 years. |

iii)
|
During the year ended March 31, 2015, 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 expense has been included in professional fees on the 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 of $19,290 was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, based on the following weighted average assumptions: expected dividend yield of 0%; risk free interest rate of 1.14%; expected volatility of 182%; and expected term of 2.85 years.
|
|
iv)
|
In connection with a consulting agreement (see Note 9), 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 ($0.051) 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 ($317,075) raised in an offering, fully vesting upon USD$1,500,000 ($1,902,450) being raised. The fair value of the 625,000 warrants at the date of grant of $500,000 was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, based on the following assumptions: expected dividend yield of 0%; expected volatility of 159%; risk free interest rate of 1.25%; and expected term of 3 years.
For the year ended March 31, 2015, the Company recorded $240,000, (2014 - $Nil ) as compensation expense for warrants issued to a consultant for service, plus a market adjustment for the year ended March 31, 2015 of $149,350 (2014 - $Nil). This expense was recorded as professional fees on the statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The Company also recorded $2,060 as the grant date fair value of warrants issued in settlement of debt and $6,213 as the grant date fair value of warrants issued as part of an issuance of units, net of a market adjustment for the year ended March 31, 2015 of $70. This was recorded to professional fees on the statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
|
|
v)
|
In connection with the unit issuance completed October 22, 2014 in settlement of debt, the Company granted 3,350 share purchase warrants exercisable into one common share at USD$1.50 ($1.90) per share for a period of 2 years from the date of issuance. The fair value of the warrants at the date of grant of $2,060 was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, based on the following assumptions: expected dividend yield of 0%; expected volatility of 123%; risk free interest rate of 0.99%; and expected term of 2 years.

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 11 (e).

Under Rule 13d-3, a beneficial owner of a security includes any person who, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship, or otherwise has or shares: (i) voting power, which includes the power to vote, or to direct the voting of shares; and (ii) investment power, which includes the power to dispose or direct the disposition of shares. Certain shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned by more than one person (if, for example, persons share the power to vote or the power to dispose of the shares). In addition, shares are deemed to be beneficially owned by a person if the person has the right to acquire the shares (for example, upon exercise of an option) within 60 days of the date as of which the information is provided. In computing the percentage ownership of any person, the amount of shares outstanding is deemed to include the amount of shares beneficially owned by such person (and only such person) by reason of these acquisition rights. As a result, the percentage of outstanding shares of any person as shown in this table does not necessarily reflect the person’s actual ownership or voting power with respect to the number of shares of common stock actually outstanding on March 31, 2015. As of March 31, 2015, there were 9,256,410 shares of our company’s common stock issued and outstanding.

I.
|
COMPANY ETHICAL STANDARDS
|
●
|
Always try to act honestly, openly, and fairly - - not necessarily because of a law or written rule - - but because it’s the right thing to do.
|
●
|
If you are thinking about doing anything that you would have trouble explaining to your supervisor, spouse, or best friend or would be embarrassed if it was made public, then you should not do it.
|
●
|
Whenever in doubt about whether some action is improper, ask your supervisor or notify the Company’s Ethics Compliance Official before taking the action.
|
●
|
Act in ways that you are proud to acknowledge and that bring credit to the Company. If you comply with these common sense rules, it is almost certain that you will satisfy technical ones. If any part of this Code is unclear or if you have any questions about how to deal with something not covered by the Code, you should ask your immediate supervisor about what to do. Complying with the principles of this Code is important, not only to the Company but also to every employee. If an employee fails to adhere to the Code, that employee could be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination, and employees are subject to individual civil and criminal liability.
