1.) Nature of the Business and Going
Concern
Algae Dynamics Corp. (the “Company”)
was incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act on October 7, 2008 as Converted Carbon of Canada Corp. On November
19, 2010, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to change its name to Converted Carbon Technologies Corp. and a further
amendment was approved by the shareholders on August 28, 2014 to change the name to Algae Dynamics Corp.
The Company is 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. In May 2016, the Company signed a Letter of Engagement with Midtown Partners & Co, LLC to raise additional equity
capital to support the implementation of its business plan.
The Company filed a Form S-1 registration
Statement with the U.S Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as an initial registration of common shares. The registration was
declared effective by the SEC on November 21, 2014. The Company’s stock began trading on September 17, 2015.
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, 2016, the Company
has a working capital deficiency of $677,356 (March 31, 2016 - $765,356) and an accumulated deficit of $4,380,135 (March
31, 2016 - $3,723,368). 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, 2016. 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 financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2016, 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, 2016, and the results of its operations for the six month periods ended September
30, 2016 and 2015 and its cash flows for the six month periods ended September 30, 2016 and 2015. Note disclosures have been presented
for material updates to the information previously reported in the annual financial statements.
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 and contingencies, and
the valuation of income taxes, stock based compensation, warrants, convertible debt 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.

term of the loan and is amortized on the condensed interim statements of operations. During the six month period ended September
30, 2016 the Company recorded accretion expense of $8,956 (2015 - $nil). The loan was initially scheduled to mature on August

Equity Purchase Agreement (“EPA”)
On September 10, 2015 the Company
entered into the EPA. The holder of the EPA is committed to purchase up to USD$750,000 worth of the Company’s common shares
(the “Put Shares”) over the 12 month term of the EPA. The Company paid to the holder of the EPA a commitment fee for
entering into the EPA equal to 50,000 restricted common shares of the Company, valued at $67,195, based on the stock price in the
most recent private placement as the Company’s shares had not yet begun to trade on a public market.
From time to time over the EPA, commencing
on the trading day immediately following the date on which the registration statement covering the resale of the Put Shares (the
“Registration Statement”) is declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”),
the Company may, in its sole discretion, draw upon the EPA periodically during the term by the Company’s delivery to the
holder of the EPA, a written notice requiring the holder to purchase a dollar amount in common shares (the “Draw Down Notice”).
The shares issuable pursuant to a Draw Down Notice, when aggregated with the shares then held by the holder on the date of the
draw down may not exceed the lessor of (i) 4.99% of the Company’s outstanding common shares, (ii) USD$62,500 in any 30 days
period or (iii) 100% of the aggregate trading volume for the 10 trading days immediately preceding the date of the Draw Down Notice
without the prior written consent of the holder. The purchase price per common share purchased under the EPA shall equal 65% of
the lowest closing bid for the 10 days immediately preceding the date of the Draw Down Notice. The Registration Statement was filed
with the Commission on October 1, 2015 and was declared effective by the Commission on March 3, 2016.

Equity Purchase Agreement (“EPA”)
(continued)
On June 23, 2016, the Company agreed
in conjunction with RY Capital Group, LLC and GHS Investments, LLC to assign the EPA to GHS Investments, LLC. The change made
to the EPA include increasing the share purchase price per common share to 80% from 65% of the lowest closing bid for the 10 trading
days immediately preceding the date of the draw down notice, increasing the upper limit on individual draws to USD$75,000 from
USD$62,500 and including a true-up feature whereby if the lowest volume-weighted average price (“VWAP”) for the ten
trading days following a draw down (the “Trading Period”) is less than 85% of the purchase price of the common shares
issued in connection with a draw down, then the Company shall issue such additional common shares as maybe necessary to adjust
the purchase price for such draw down to equal the VWAP during the Trading Period. See also Note 11.

During the year ended March 31, 2015, the Company also issued 27,500 warrants of the Company valued at $19,290 for services rendered of which 22,500 warrants were granted to an officer of the Company. 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.
|
|
iii)
|
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 ($1.97) 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.
|
|
iv)
|
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 ($0.052) 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 ($327,925) raised in an offering, fully vesting upon USD$1,500,000 ($1,967,550) 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 six month period ended September
30, 2016, the Company recorded $Nil, (2015 - $Nil) as compensation expense for warrants issued to a consultant for service, net
of a market adjustment for the six months period ended September 30, 2016 of $16,042 (2015 - $Nil). The expense was recorded as
professional fees on the statements of operations.
ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging”
indicates that warrants with exercise prices denominated in a currency other than an entity’s functional currency should
not be classified as equity. As a result, warrants with a USD exercise price have been treated as derivatives and recorded as liabilities
carried at their fair value, with period-to-period changes in the fair value recorded as a gain or loss in the statements of operations.

As at September 30, 2016, the fair
value of the 337,200 (March 31, 2016 – 381,700) warrants exercisable in US dollars was $156,000 (March 31, 2016 -
$222,803) which was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on the following weighted average assumptions:
expected dividend yield of 0% (March 31, 2016 - 0%); expected volatility of 227% (March 31, 2016 – 150%); risk-free interest
rate of 0.52% (March 31, 2016 – 0.54%) and expected term of 0.49 years (March 31, 2016 – 0.99 years). Of this amount,
$Nil (March 31, 2016 - $27,479) was reflected as a liability as at September 30, 2016, 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, 2016.
The warrant liability is classified
as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy (See Note 10). The Company’s computation of expected volatility during the periods
ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 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.
(c) Stock-based compensation
The Company’s stock-based compensation
program (the “Plan”) includes stock options in which some options vest based on continuous service. For those equity
awards that vest based on continuous service, compensation expense is recorded over the service period from the date of grant.
The total number of options outstanding
as at September 30, 2016 was 930,000 (March 31, 2016 – 930,000). The weighted average grant date fair value of options granted
during the periods ended September 30, 2016 was $n/a (2015 - $n/a). The maximum number of options that may be issued under the
Plan is floating at an amount equivalent to 15% of the issued and outstanding common shares, or 1,513,703 as at September 30, 2016
(March 31, 2016 – 1,455,158).

10.) 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, 2016, the Company had cash of $2,543 (March 31, 2016 - $173) to
settle current liabilities of $901,065 (March 31, 2016 - $809,347). All of the Company’s financial liabilities other
than the warrant liability of $Nil (March 31, 2016 - $27,479) and the term loan of $48,957 (March 31, 2016 - $nil) 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.

10.) Financial Instruments (continued)
(a)
Liquidity risk (continued)
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 September 30, 2016, the Company
held $2,543 (March 31, 2016 - $173) 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. See also Note 10 (e).
(d)
Interest rate risk
As at September 30, 2016, 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 ($0.052). 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.
In connection with the settlement
of a vendor’s account, the Company granted warrants to purchase up to 3,350 common shares of the Company. The warrants have
an exercise price of USD$1.50 ($1.97). The warrants are exercisable at any time prior to October 22, 2016. The warrants are accounted
for as derivative liabilities because the exercise price is denominated in a currency other than the Company’s functional
currency.
In connection with a private placement,
the Company granted warrants to purchase up to 8,850 common shares of the Company. The warrants have an exercise price of USD$2.00
($2.62). The warrants are exercisable at any time prior to November 30, 2016. The warrants are accounted for as derivative liabilities
because the exercise price is denominated in a currency other that the Company’s functional currency. The table below summarizes

Securities Purchase Agreement
and Convertible Note
On November 18, 2016 (the “Note
Closing Date”), the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement dated as of the Note Closing Date (the “Purchase
Agreement”) with GHS Investments, LLC (“GHS”). The Purchase Agreement provides that, upon the terms and subject
to the conditions set forth therein, GHS shall purchase from the Company on the Closing Date a senior convertible note with a
principal amount of USD$56,000 (the “Convertible Note”) ($73,920) for a purchase price of USD$50,000 ($66,000). Pursuant
to the Purchase Agreement, on the Note Closing Date, the Company issued the Convertible Note to GHS.
The Convertible Note matures
on August 18, 2017 and accrues interest at the rate of 10% per annum. The Convertible Note is convertible beginning ninety (90)
trading days after the Note Closing Date, in whole or in part, at GHS’ option into common shares of the Company’s
capital stock at a variable conversion price equal to a 38% discount from the lowest trading price in the twenty (20) trading
days prior to the day that GHS requests conversion. At no time will GHS be entitled to convert any portion of the Convertible
Note to the extent that after such conversion, GHS (together with its affiliates) would beneficially own more than 4.99% of the
outstanding common shares, although GHS can modify this limit to 9.99% of the outstanding common shares.
The Convertible Note includes
customary event of default provisions, and provides for a default interest rate of 20%. The Company has the right at any time
prior to May 18, 2017 to redeem all, but not less than all, of the total outstanding amount then remaining
under the Convertible Note in cash at a price
ranging from 125% to 135% of the total amount of the Convertible
Note then outstanding.
