Basis of Presentation

These interim unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial reporting and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. They do not include all information and footnotes required by United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statement disclosure. The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a consistent basis with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 27, 2014, included in the Company’s Form 10-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Operating results for the thirteen-week period ended March 28, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 26, 2015. These interim unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the information included in the Company’s Form 10-K filed on April 13, 2015 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Effective fiscal 2013, the Company began to report quarterly results on a 4-4-5 basis, with the quarter ending on the Saturday closest to the last day of each third month. In fiscal 2015, the Company's first quarter ended on March 28, 2015, the second quarter will end on June 27, 2015, the third quarter will end on September 26, 2015 and the fourth quarter will end on December 26, 2015.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying balance sheets and related statements of operations and comprehensive loss and cash flows include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring items, necessary for their fair presentation in conformity with U.S. GAAP. Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. Actual results and outcomes may differ from management’s estimates and assumptions.

The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared using U.S. GAAP applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and payment of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred losses since inception of $63,817 and further losses are anticipated in the development of its business. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to achieve or maintain profitability and future operations are dependent on raising additional funding from debt or equity financings. These factors raise substantial doubt as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company evaluated events occurring between March 28, 2014 and the date financial statements were issued.

The Company has elected to early adopt the guidance in FASB Topic 915 and no longer provides the accounting disclosures for development stage companies. Accordingly, the figures for the period from inception to the current period are no longer provided and all references to development stage operations have been removed. Other recent accounting pronouncements with future effective dates are not expected to have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of our results of operations and financial position should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this report. Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. All references to dollar amounts in this section are in U.S. dollars unless expressly stated otherwise.

Overview

We are focused on bringing sustainable bast fiber-based products to market that are environmentally friendly natural fiber alternatives with equivalent or superior performance characteristics to cotton, wood or fossil-fuel based fibers. Our business operations consist primarily of the production of our natural and proprietary CRAiLAR® Flax fibers targeted at the natural yarn and textile industries, as well as the deployment of our CRAiLAR® processing technologies in the cellulose pulp and composites industries. We believe that we offer two key opportunities for development:

CRAiLAR® fibers (using flax, hemp or other sustainable bast fiber) for textiles (knit and woven constructions) available in a variety of blends, textures, colors and applications;

   
CRAiLAR® fibers for non-woven constructions.

Effective in Fiscal 2013, we began to report our first, second, third and fourth quarters on a 4-4-5 basis, with each quarter ending on the Saturday closest to the last day of each third month.

Acquisition of Production Facility

We commenced production of the first stage of the CRAiLAR® flax fiber process in the first quarter of Fiscal 2013 out of our decortication facility in Pamplico, South Carolina. Following the decortication process, the fibers were converted into CRAiLAR® Flax fiber at a third party wet processing facility with initial fiber sales beginning in the second quarter of Fiscal 2013. We suspended operations at the South Carolina facility in third quarter of 2013 until improvements have been built and installed to the front end of the production line. In December 2013, we acquired a European fiber dyeing facility with equipment similar to that used to produce CRAiLAR® Flax fiber. The acquisition was made pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement dated November 6, 2013, which was amended and restated on December 13, 2013. The new facility allowed us to accelerate our timeline for establishing a company-controlled CRAiLAR® wet processing capability. Production of CRAiLAR® fibers at this facility commenced in January 2014. The facility has a maximum capacity to produce approximately 280,000 pounds of CRAiLAR® Flax fiber per week and can be expanded.

Completion of Public Offering

On August 6, 2014, the Company completed the public offering of 13,000,000 units of the Company at a price of $0.50 per unit for gross proceeds of $6,500,000. Each unit is comprised of one common share and one common share purchase warrant of the Company. Each warrant entitles the holder to acquire one common share of the Company at an exercise price of $0.535 per common share at any time prior to August 6, 2019.

The Company paid 7% of gross proceeds of the offering to the underwriters and granted them an option (the “Over-Allotment Option”), exercisable in whole or in part at any time up to 30 days following the closing of the Offering. The Over-Allotment Option allowed the underwriters to purchase an additional 15% of the Offering solely to cover over-allotments, if any, and for market stabilization purposes. The Over-Allotment Option entitles the underwriters to purchase a maximum of 1,950,000 units at a price of $0.50 per unit or 1,950,000 common shares at a price of $0.499 per share and/or 1,950,000 warrants at a price of $0.001 per warrant. Each warrant entitles the holder to acquire one common share of the Company at an exercise price of $0.535 per common share at any time prior to August 6, 2019. On August 6, 2014 the Over-Allotment Option was partially exercised and the underwriters purchased 1,950,000 warrants at $0.001 per warrant for proceeds of $1,950. On August 15, 2014, the Over –Allotment Option was exercised for the remaining 1,950,000 shares of the Company at a price of $0.499 per share for gross proceeds of $973,050. The Company paid 7% of the gross proceeds of the Over-Allotment Option to the underwriters.

Debentures

On September 20, 2012, we completed the offering of $10.1 million (CAD$10.0 million) worth of convertible debentures (the “September 2012 Debentures”), which bear interest at a rate of 10% per year, payable semi-annually on March 31 and September 30 of each year and mature on September 30, 2017. The holders of the September 2012 Debentures have the option to convert the September 2012 Debentures into shares of our common stock at a price of $2.85 (CAD$2.90) per share at any time prior to the maturity date. On February 25, 2013, we completed another offering of $4.9 million (CAD$5.0 million) convertible debentures (the “February 2013 Debentures”) with essentially the same terms as the previously mentioned offering. Furthermore, on July 26, 2013, we completed a third offering of $3.4 million (CAD$3.5 million) worth of convertible debentures (the “July 2013 Debentures”) with an interest rate of 10% payable semi-annually on March 31 and September 30 of each year, which mature on July 26, 2016. Originally, the holders of the July 2013 Debentures had the option to convert such debentures into shares of our common stock at a price of $1.94 (CAD$2.00) per share at any time prior to the maturity date. However, pursuant to the Amended and Restated Convertible Debenture Indenture dated December 23, 2013, the conversion price for the July 2013 Debentures has been reduced to $1.21 (CAD$1.25) per share of common stock. The holders of the July 2013 Debentures also each received warrants to purchase 800 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $1.21 (CAD$1.25) per share for each $904 (CAD$1,000) of principal amount of July 2013 Debentures purchased, which warrants are exercisable at any time prior to the maturity date of the debentures.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements for the Company’s fiscal year ended December 27, 2014 include the accounts of the Company and its six wholly-owned subsidiaries as of December 27, 2014: Crailar Inc., a Nevada incorporated company; Hemptown USA, Inc., a Nevada incorporated company; 0697872 B.C. Ltd., a British Columbia incorporated company; Crailar Fiber Technologies Inc., a British Columbia incorporated company, HTnaturals Apparel Corp, a British Columbia incorporated company and Crailar Europe NV, a Belgian corporation. All intercompany transactions and account balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents consist of cash on deposit and term deposits with original maturities of one year or less at the time of issuance. As of March 28, 2015, the Company had $0.9 million in cash and cash equivalents.

Inventory

The raw flax fiber feedstock, decorticated fiber and CRAiLAR® fiber is valued at the lower of cost and market. All direct costs are capitalized to raw flax fiber inventory, decorticated fiber inventory and CRAiLAR® fiber. Seed inventory is valued at the lower of average cost and market. Cost represents the cost to purchase seed and/or growing cost plus any related shipping costs. Other inventories, which primarily consist of production consumables, are recorded at the lower of cost and replacement cost, which approximates net realizable value.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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 period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant areas requiring management’s estimates and assumptions are inventory costing and net realizable value, the expected future use and other impairment considerations of property and equipment, fair value of warrants, options, derivative liabilities, provision for income taxes, depreciation and financial instruments.

14


Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost and are depreciated as follows:

Automobiles 20% declining balance
Computer equipment 30% declining balance
Computer software 100% declining balance
Equipment 30% declining balance
Furniture and fixtures 20% declining balance
Production Equipment 30% declining balance
Leasehold improvements Term of lease
Website development 100% declining balance

Depreciation is claimed at one-half of the regular rate in the year of addition. No depreciation is claimed in the year of disposal.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets are stated at cost and are amortized as follows:

Trademarks 5 year straight - line
License Fee 10 year straight - line
Patent 10 year straight – line

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized when there is persuasive evidence of a sale arrangement, delivery to the customer has occurred, the fee is fixed and determinable, and collectability is considered probable.

Foreign Currency Translation

The functional currencies of the Company and its subsidiaries are as follows: Crailar Technologies Inc. – US$; Crailar Inc. - US$; Hemptown USA, Inc. – US$; 0697872 B.C. Ltd. – US$; Crailar Fiber Technologies Inc. – US$; HTNaturals Apparel Corp. – US$, and Crailar Europe NV – Euro.

Effective September 28, 2014 management determined that the functional currency of Crailar Technologies Inc., 0697872 B.C. Ltd. and Crailar Fiber Technologies Inc. changed from the Canadian dollar to the U.S. dollar. As a result, translation adjustments for prior periods were not removed from equity and the translated amounts for nonmonetary assets at the end of the prior period become the accounting basis for those assets in the period of the change and subsequent periods.

The Company translates its financial statements with other than US$ functional currencies to U.S. dollars using the following method:

All assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect at the period-end. Revenues and expenses are translated throughout the period at the weighted average exchange rate. Exchange gains or losses from such translations are included in accumulated comprehensive income (loss), as a separate component of stockholders’ deficit.

Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in the results of operations.

Income Taxes

The Company utilizes the liability method of accounting for deferred income taxes. Under the liability method, deferred income taxes are determined based on the temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is more likely than not that potential the future tax assets will not be realized.

Comprehensive Loss

Comprehensive loss is the change in equity during a period resulting from transactions and other events, other than those changes resulting from transactions with owners in their capacity as owners. Other comprehensive income (loss) includes items of income and expense that are not recognized in net loss as required or permitted by U.S. GAAP.

15


Stock-based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based payment transactions in which an enterprise receives services in exchange for (a) equity instruments of the enterprise or (b) liabilities that are based on the fair value of the enterprise’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of such equity instruments. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to establish the fair-value of stock-based awards.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share are computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. Common stock equivalents from stock options and warrants were excluded from the calculation of net loss per share for the periods ended March 28, 2015 and March 29, 2014 as their effect is anti-dilutive.

Long-Lived Asset Impairment

Long-lived assets of the Company are reviewed when changes in circumstances suggest their carrying value has become impaired. Management considers assets to be impaired if the carrying value exceeds the estimated discounted future projected cash flows to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If impairment is deemed to exist, the assets will be written down to fair value. Fair value is generally determined using a hierarchy of fair value methodologies under U.S. GAAP, primarily based on a discounted cash flow analysis.

Risk Management

Currency risk. Although the Company conducts its business principally in Canada, the majority of its purchases are made in Euros while the majority of its sales are in USD. Currently, the majority of the Company’s debt is denominated in CAD currency. A 5% fluctuation in currency rates for the Company’s Euro debt of $78,078. The Company does not currently hedge its foreign currency exposure and accordingly is at risk for foreign currency exchange fluctuations.

Credit risk. Credit risk is managed by dealing with customers whose credit standing meets internally approved policies, and by ongoing monitoring of credit risk. The risk in cash accounts is managed through the use of a major financial institution which has high credit quality as determined by the rating agencies. As of March 28, 2015, $984,975 is due from a single customer and therefore 63% of receivables are exposed to concentration of credit risk.

Interest rate risk. Approximately $277,500 of the Company’s debt bears interest at fluctuating rates. Consequentially the Company is exposed to interest rate fluctuations. The Company does not currently hedge its exposure to interest rate risk.

Commodity price risk. Commodity price risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows will fluctuate because of changes in the market prices of commodities. The Company is exposed to commodity price risk as it purchases fiber feedstock from the flax producers in Europe. The Company purchases the short fiber waste product called “tow” and the price fluctuates based on supply. The Company has relationships with several short fiber producers and anticipates little issue in obtaining sufficient fiber for its needs. The Company does not currently enter into futures contracts or otherwise hedge its exposure to commodity price risk.

Research and Development

Research and development costs are charged to operations as incurred.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The table below reconciles net loss to Adjusted EBITDA for the periods presented (in thousands):

    Thirteen Weeks Ended  
    March 28, 2015     March 27, 2014  
Consolidated            
Net loss $ (178 ) $ (2,576 )
Interest expense   534     541

Fair value adjustment derivative liabilities   (175 )   -  
Exchange gain   (1,520 )   -  
Rent inducement expense   (8 )   (8 )
Adjusted EBITDA $ (677 ) $ (1,593 )

Regulation G, “Conditions for Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures,” and other provisions of the Exchange Act define and prescribe the conditions for use of certain non-GAAP financial information. We provide “EBITDA,” which is a non-GAAP financial measure that consists of net income before (a) interest expense; (b) accretion expense; and (c) depreciation and amortization. “Adjusted EBITDA” further adjusts EBITDA with respect to stock-based compensation expense, facility commissioning expense, fair value adjustment of derivative liabilities, exchange gain and rent inducement expense.

We believe that this non-GAAP financial measure provides important supplemental information to management and investors. This non-GAAP financial measure reflects an additional way of viewing aspects of our operations that, when viewed with the GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliation to corresponding GAAP financial measures, provides a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business and results of operations.

Our management uses Adjusted EBITDA as a measure of our Company’s operating performance because it assists in comparing our operating performance on a consistent basis by removing the impact of items not directly resulting from core operations. Internally, this non-GAAP measure is also used by management for planning purposes, including the preparation of internal budgets; for allocating resources to enhance financial performance; for evaluating the effectiveness of operational strategies; and for evaluating our capacity to fund capital expenditures and expand our business. We also believe that analysts and investors use Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure to evaluate the overall operating performance of development stage companies. Additionally, we believe that lenders or potential lenders use Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate our ability to repay loans.

This non-GAAP financial measure is used in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP and should not be relied upon to the exclusion of GAAP financial measures. Management strongly encourages investors to review our consolidated financial statements in their entirety and to not rely on any single financial measure. Because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare these financial measures with other companies’ non-GAAP financial measures having the same or similar names. In addition, we expect to continue to incur expenses similar to the non-GAAP adjustments described above, and exclusion of these items from our non-GAAP measures should not be construed as an inference that these costs are unusual, infrequent or non-recurring.

Revenue and Gross Margins

For the thirteen-week period ended March 28, 2015 (“First Quarter 2015”) and the thirteen-week period ended March 27, 2014 (“First Quarter 2014”) our revenues were derived from sales of CRAiLAR® fiber and other fiber (non-CRAiLAR) produced mainly at our new European production facility. Revenue for the First Quarter 2015 was $1.7 million, an increase of $1.3 million from Q1 2014. The $1.3 million increase in revenues in the First Quarter 2015 compared with 2014 was the result of a 360 percent increase in the production and sale of CRAiLAR fibers.

Our gross loss for the First Quarter 2015 was $40 thousand (2014: $0.4 million). Our variable margin was 14% and was impacted negatively by labor inefficiencies and product re-work caused by equipment downtime. Cost of sales is comprised of $1.5 million (2014: $0.36 million) for flax feedstock, utilities, labor, chemicals and water directly related to sales of CRAiLAR Flax fiber and the non-CRAiLAR legacy fiber dyeing business; $0.1 million (2014: $0.1 million) of facility overhead costs and $0.2 million (2014: $0.1 million) for depreciation of production equipment; and $Nil (2014: $0.2 million) to temporarily outsource the final CRAiLAR process until equipment was installed and training expenses for new employees to add more production shifts.

Operating Expenses

During the First Quarter 2015 we recorded operating expenses of $1.2 million compared to operating expenses of $1.3 million for the First Quarter 2014, a decrease of $0.1 million or approximately 8%. Causes for the reduction are a decrease in general and administrative expenses of $0.2 million.

Marketing and promotion expenses comprised of marketing salaries and sales development costs were $0.1 million for the First Quarter 2015, the same as in the First Quarter 2014.

General and administrative expenses for the First Quarter 2015 decreased to $1.0 million, a reduction of $0.2 million or approximately 18% from $1.2 million for the First Quarter 2014. The decrease was primarily caused by a $0.2 million decrease in professional fees; $0.1 million decrease in salary expense; $0.1 million decrease in facility expense and $0.1 from exchange rates partially offset by a $0.3 million increase in stock-based compensation.

18


Other Items

Interest expense was $0.5 million for the First Quarter 2015 and 2014. Interest expense is attributable to the convertible debenture interest, European facility loan interest, IKEA loan interest, early pay discount and the amortization of the deferred debt issuance costs of $0.1 million. Accretion expense was $0.1 million from the amortization of bonus shares issued with promissory notes and a reduction of the conversion price for convertible debentures issued July 2013 compared with $0.3 million for the First Quarter 2014. For First Quarter 2015 and 2014, research and development costs were $0.1 million while the fair value adjustment of derivative liabilities was a gain of $0.2 compared to $0 in 2014 as well as a gain in foreign exchange of $1.5 million compared to $0 in 2014.

Net Loss

Our net loss for the First Quarter 2015 was $0.2 million, or $0.00 per share, compared to $2.6 million, or $0.05 per share for the thirteen-week period ended March 27, 2014. The reduction in loss was primarily attributable to the reduction in gross loss of $0.3 million and a reduction of general and administration expenses of $0.2 million, a gain in the fair value of derivative liabilities of $0.2 million and a gain in foreign exchange of $1.5 million.

For the period ended March 28, 2015, the weighted average number of shares outstanding was 66,378,003 compared to 48,188,001 for the period ended March 27, 2014.

The Company has historically relied on equity financings, and more recently from the sale of convertible debentures to fund its operations. On August 15, 2014 the Company completed a “Follow On” equity financing with gross proceeds of $1.0 million. On August 6, 2014 the Company completed an equity financing with gross proceeds of $6.5 million. On June 2, 2014 the Company completed an equity financing for settlement of $0.9 million in debts. On March 20, 2014, the Company completed an equity financing with gross proceeds of $3.1 million. On December 20, 2013, the Company completed an equity financing with gross proceeds of $1.9 million (CAD$2.0 million). On December 19, 2013, but having an effective date of November 29, 2013, we entered into a loan agreement to borrow up to $2.9 million (€2.2 million, approximately CAD$3.2 million). The Company has drawn on the loan $2.9 million (€2.2 million), which was used for capital expenditures for the European processing facility and general working capital. In February 2013, the Company completed a convertible debt financing for gross proceeds of $4.9 million (CAD$5.0 million). In July 2013, the Company completed an additional convertible debt financing for gross proceeds of $3.4 million (CAD$3.5 million). In September 2012, the Company completed a convertible debt financing for gross proceeds of $10.1 million (CAD$10.0 million). The Company expects to fund future operations and expansion from the proceeds of this offering, through bank debt, government loan programs, customer financing, lease programs, additional equity and debt financings, as well as cash generated from operations.

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities

Net cash flows used in operating activities for the First Quarter of 2015 were $0.1 million compared with $2.2 million for the First Quarter of 2014. Cash flows used in operations for the First Quarter of 2015 consisted primarily of a net loss of $0.2 million offset by the following items: amortization and depreciation of $0.2 million (2014: $0.1 million), primarily related to production equipment in Europe; amortization of debt discount of $0.1 million (2014: $0.3) related to the beneficial conversion feature of the promissory notes and amortization of the bonus shares issued pursuant to the promissory note; amortization of deferred debt issuance costs of $0.1 million (2014: $0.1 million); fair value adjustment of derivative liability gain of $0.2 million (2014: $Nil), the gain in 2015 related to the decrease in the value of the warrant liability; rent of ($0.0 million) (2014: $0.0 million) related to the lease deferral at the South Carolina decortication facility; stock-based compensation of $0.4 million (2014: $0.1 million) was greater as more options vested in 2015 than in 2014; a gain on foreign exchange of $1.5 million (2014: $Nil); decrease in accounts receivable of $1.6 million due to timing of shipments of Crailar sales in Europe, (2014: increase of $0.6 million); a decrease in inventory of $0.2 million (2014: $0.0 million); an increase in prepaid expenses of $0.2 million (2014: $0.2 million) mostly due to the timing of insurance, financing and listing costs; a decrease in accounts payable of $0.4 million (2014: an increase of $0.2 million); an increase in accrued liabilities of $0.2 million (2014: $0.3 million) mostly related to debenture interest.

19


Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

Net cash flows used in investing activities for the First Quarter of 2015 were $0.3 million, compared to $0.6 million for the First Quarter of 2014. Cash flows used in investing activities consisted primarily of the acquisition of equipment for the European production facility of $0.3 million (2014: $ 0.6 million)

Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities

Cash flows used by financing activities for the First Quarter of 2015 totaled $0.0 million compared to $5.2 million gained for the First Quarter of 2014.

Effect of Exchange Rate

The effect of exchange rates on cash resulted in an unrealized gain of $87,000 for the First Quarter of 2015, as compared with an unrealized gain of $252,000 for the First Quarter of 2014.

MATERIAL COMMITMENTS

Debt Offerings

We completed the following three convertible debt offerings in 2012 and 2013: (i) the September 2012 Debentures with gross proceeds of $10.1 million (CAD$10.0 million) on September 20, 2012; (ii) the February 2013 Debentures with gross proceeds of $4.9 million (CAD$5.0 million) on February 25, 2013; and (iii) the July 2013 Debentures with gross proceeds of $3.4 million (CAD$3.5 million) on July 26, 2013. The September 2012 Debentures mature on September 30, 2017 and bear interest at a rate of 10% per year, payable semi-annually on March 31 and September 30 of each year, starting March 31, 2013. The February 2013 Debentures mature on September 30, 2017 and bear interest at a rate of 10% per year, payable semi-annually on March 31 and September 30 of each year, starting on September 30, 2013. The February 2013 Debentures are ranked subordinate to the September 2012 Debentures. Non-Canadian resident holders of the February 2013 Debentures will receive additional interest equal to the amount of the withholding taxes paid by us for Canadian tax purposes. The July 2013 Debentures mature on July 26, 2016 and bear interest at a rate of 10% per year, payable semi-annually on March 31 and September 30 of each year, commencing on September 30, 2013. The July 2013 Debentures are secured by production equipment and fixtures located at our South Carolina facility that are different from the production equipment and fixtures at the South Carolina facility that were used to secure the September 2012 Debentures and the February 2013 Debentures. In the event we complete one or more equity financings between July 26, 2013 and July 26, 2016 with gross proceeds of at least an aggregate of $19.4 million (CAD$20.0 million), we must, subject to providing no less than 60 days prior notice to each holder of the July 2013 Debentures, redeem the July 2013 Debentures in whole at face value plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon. The initial conversion rates of each of the September 2012 Debentures, the February 2013 Debentures and the July 2013 Debentures were $2.85 (CAD$2.90), $2.85 (CAD$2.90) and $1.94 (CAD$2.00), respectively, and are subject to anti-dilution provisions.

Holders of the September 2012 Debentures and the February 2013 Debentures have the option to convert their debentures into common stock at a price of $2.85 (CAD$2.90) per share of common stock at any time prior to their respective maturity date. We may redeem the September 2012 Debentures and the February 2013 Debentures after September 30, 2015 provided that the market price at the time of the redemption notice is not less than 125% of the conversion price.

In accordance with the conditions of the IKEA Loan (defined below), we approached the debenture holders (the “Debentureholders”) of the July 2013 Debentures about releasing their security over certain assets held by our subsidiary, CRAiLAR Inc., having an acquisition cost of $1.3 million, which form a portion of the assets securing the July 2013 Debentures pursuant to the Guaranty and Security Agreement (the “Guaranty”) between CRAiLAR Inc. (the “Guarantor”) and Computershare Trust Company of Canada (the “Trustee”), dated July 26, 2013, as set forth in Schedule “A” to the Guaranty, to be used as separate security for the IKEA Loan to us. As consideration for such alteration to the secured assets, the conversion price of the July 2013 Debentures was reduced from $1.94 (CAD$2.00) per share to $1.21 (CAD$1.25) per share. On December 23, 2013, the Trustee and us entered into an Amended and Restated Convertible Debenture Indenture which reflects the modification and alteration of the rights of the Debentureholders and the Trustee against us with respect to (i) the secured assets to now only include those specific assets held by the Guarantor as set forth in Schedule “F” to the Amended and Restated Convertible Debenture Indenture having an acquisition cost of $3.9 million, and (ii) the reduction of the conversion price of the July 2013 Debentures from $1.94 (CAD$2.00) per share to $1.21 (CAD$1.25) per share. In addition, on the same date, the Guarantor and the Trustee entered into an Amended and Restated Guaranty and Security Agreement, which reflects the modification and alteration with respect to the secured assets as discussed above.

Debt

On December 1, 2013, we purchased certain assets of a European fiber dyeing facility. We acquired these assets by assuming an aggregate of $1.2 million of the seller’s debts, which we have agreed to repay on the earlier of their respective due dates and December 1, 2018. On December 13, 2013, we entered into an amended asset purchase agreement for such assets, which replaced the initial asset purchase agreement and provides that the title to and economic risk in respect of the environmental permit and the employees passed to us on December 1, 2013, however, the title to the equipment at the facility shall only pass to us upon full payment of the foregoing assumed indebtedness of the seller, notwithstanding the fact that physical possession and economic risk of all assets of the acquired facility passed to us on December 1, 2013. We have reached an oral agreement with the seller to lease the real property for the facility and are in the process of formalizing that oral agreement.

On December 19, 2013, but having an effective date of November 29, 2013, we entered into a loan agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with IKEA Supply AG (“IKEA”), whereby IKEA agreed to loan us $3.0 million (€2.2 million, approximately CAD$3.2 million) (the “IKEA Loan”) having a term until June 25, 2016 and bearing interest at a rate of 1.9% per annum. As security for the IKEA Loan, IKEA required that the IKEA Loan be secured by assets purchased with the proceeds of the IKEA Loan, as well as a portion of the secured assets used to secure the July 2013 Debentures. The proceeds from the IKEA Loan are designated for the installation of equipment to support and expand our European production facility and for working capital to fulfill IKEA orders. During the First Three Quarters of 2014 the Company received $2,906,985 (€2,200,000) pursuant to the loan agreement.

We entered into the following loan arrangements with each of the following directors: Jason Finnis, Kenneth Barker and Robert Edmunds:
