Notes to the Condensed Interim Financial Statements
(Stated in Canadian Dollars)
(unaudited)
June 30, 2015 and 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. 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.  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 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 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 June 30, 2015, the Company has a working capital deficiency of $861,605 (March 31, 2015 - $845,406) and an accumulated deficit of $1,921,869 (March 31, 2015 - $1,809,373).  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, 2015. 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, 2015, 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 June 30, 2015, and the results of its operations for the three month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 and its cash flows for the three month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014. Note disclosures have been presented for material updates to the information previously reported in the annual 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.  The Company has chosen to early adopt these amendments effective for its fiscal year ended March 31, 2013 and onwards.
 
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, warrants, 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 operations in the period in which they become known.

During the three month periods ended June 30, 2015, the Company recorded total amortization of $4,439 (2014 - $3,836) which was recorded to amortization expense on the statements of operations.
 
4.)  
Intangible Assets
 
The Company has patents and patents pending with a cost of $15,970 as at June 30, 2015 (March 31, 2015 - $15,970) that are not currently being amortized and accordingly, the Company did not record amortization expense relating to its intangible assets for the three month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014.
 
5.)  
Term Loan
 
On May 6, 2015, the Company agreed to a term loan (maturing May 5, 2016).   The loan bears interest at 12% per annum paid quarterly.   The loan is secured by 40,000 shares of the Company personally held and equally pledged by two of the founding shareholders.  The face value of the loan is $33,000.  The carrying value of the loan was recorded net of $3,000 of transaction costs.   The resulting fair value is accrued to face value through the recording of accretion expense until maturity using the effective interest rate of 21%.
 
6.)  
Advances from Shareholders
 
As at June 30, 2015, the Company had received cumulative working capital advances in the amount of $371,126 (March 31, 2015 - $367,267) from two shareholders who are also officers and directors of the Company.   These advances are unsecured, non-interest bearing and payable upon demand.

i)
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 ($0.049) 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 three month periods  ended June 30, 2015, the Company recorded $Nil,  (2014 - $139,181 ) as compensation expense for warrants issued to a consultant for service, net of a mark to market adjustment for the three month periods ended June 30, 2015 of $Nil (2014 - $179). This expense was recorded as professional fees on the statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Capital Stock (continued)
 
(b) Warrants (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, 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 and comprehensive loss.

As at June 30, 2015, the fair value of the 599,700 warrants exercisable in USD, was $770,191 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 127%; risk-free interest rate of 0.39% and expected term of 1.74 years.  Of this amount, $348,665 was reflected as a liability as at June 30, 2015, 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 June 30, 2015.
 
The warrant liability is classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy (See Note 11).  The Company’s computation of expected volatility during the period ended June 30, 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 June 30, 2015 was 505,000 (March 31, 2015 - 505,000). There were no options granted during the three month period ended June 30, 2015 (2014 - $Nil).  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 1,390,337 as at June 30, 2015 (March 31, 2015 – 1,388,461).
 
The Company’s computation of expected volatility during the period ended June 30, 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.
 
For the three month periods ended June 30, 2015, the Company recorded $75,050 (2014 - $nil) as Additional Paid in Capital for options issued to directors, officers and consultants based on continuous service.  This expense was recorded as stock based compensation on the statements of operations and comprehensive loss

11.)  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 June 30, 2015, the Company had cash of $11,765 (March 31, 2015 - $3,084) to settle current liabilities of $913,935 (March 31, 2015 - $894,022).  All of the Company's financial liabilities other than the warrant liability of $348,665 (March 31, 2015 -$364,878)  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 June 30, 2015, the Company held $11,765 (March 31, 2015 - $3,084) 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 11 (e).

11.) Financial Instruments (continued)
 
(d)  
Interest rate risk

The Company does not have any non-fixed 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 7(b).  The warrants have an exercise price of USD$0.04 ($0.049).  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 ($1.87).   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 ($2.49).  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.

This Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of the Company included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2015, including the notes thereto and the risk factors identified therein.   Quarterly results are not necessarily indicative of full-year results.
 
Company 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.

Assuming receipt of funding in accordance with its financing strategy, the Company is ready to build its first commercial scale system within 6 months 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 USD$60/kg for the Omega-3 oils in 2012 (source: Frost & Sullivan July, 2014) and USD$40.00 per kg for algae Chlorella powder (source F & S, Chris Shanahan April, 2015).

The reader is cautioned that the price data is the most recent available for the Company. While there is a risk that prices have decreased in the meantime, we believe they are still representative of market conditions. 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.
 
 
18

 

Our key competitive advantage is process engineering control which management believes ensures the best possible outcomes for each algae species at a low cost. Growing algae successfully requires 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 assignment of rights agreement with researchers at 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 CO2 losses from the system. In essence, Algae Dynamics is combining expertise in the science of algae cultivation with the efficiency of thoughtful engineering.

The Company has entered into a memorandum of understanding with POS Biosciences (“POS”), a Saskatchewan, Canada based company, for key process variables such as oil extraction and EPA/DHA separation.  POS offers expertise and service in bioprocessing applied research from bench-top to commercialization scale. CO₂ and 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 identifying, isolating, extracting, concentrating, 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 nutraceutical products. Billing for POS services will be on a project by project basis on terms to be negotiated.
 
Critical Accounting Policy and Estimates
 
Our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section discusses our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, accrued expenses, financing operations, and contingencies and litigation. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The most significant accounting estimates inherent in the preparation of our financial statements include estimates as to the appropriate carrying value of certain assets and liabilities which are not readily apparent from other sources. In addition, these accounting policies are described at relevant sections in this discussion and analysis and in the notes to the financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2015.

The following discussion and analysis should be read in connection with the Company’s financial statements and related notes thereto, as included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.
 
The following is management’s discussion and analysis of certain significant factors that have affected our financial position and operating results during the periods included in the accompanying financial statements, as well as information relating to the plans of our current management.
 
Results of Operations and Going Concern
 
We 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, and shareholder advances the Company has adequate capital resources to fund its operations through to the end of September 2015. The Company intends to commence a raise via private placement or direct offering to the public of equity in our Company 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 continue foregoing salaries and operations will be scaled back to operate within the funds available. In the normal course of business, management considers various alternatives to ensure that the Company can meet some of its operating cash flow requirements through financing activities, such as private placements of common shares, preferred share offerings and offerings of debt and convertible debt instruments as well as through merger or acquisition opportunities. Management may also consider strategic alternatives, including strategic investments and divestitures. As future operations may be financed out of funds generated from financing activities, the ability to do so is dependent on, among other factors, the overall state of capital markets and investor appetite for investments in the 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.

For the three months ended June 30, 2015
 
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 June 30, 2015, we had an accumulated deficit of $1,921,869. For the quarters ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, we had a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $112,496, and $265,418, respectively. The more significant expenditures reduced were management and contract fees by $29,000 and professional fees were reduced by $182,569 during the 3 month period ended June 30, 2015 compared to June 30, 2014.   A significant portion of the professional fees expenditure ($139, 181) incurred for the period ended June 30, 2014 related to the recognition as compensation the warrants issued to a consultant for fees related to the process of going public.  The additional decreases in expenditure in the current 3 month period ended June 30, 2015 related to business developed $2,399, office and general expenditures were reduced by $4,889, occupancy costs reduced by $2,866, research and development reduced by $5,403 and travel expenses reduced by $3,472.   As a result of the Company being in a loss position, we will need to generate significant revenues to achieve and maintain profitability. If our revenues grow slower than anticipated, or if operating expenses exceed expectations, then we may not be able to achieve profitability in the near future or at all.  These conditions create an uncertainty as to our ability to continue as a going concern.
 
Results of Operations.
 
Revenues.
 
We had no revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 respectively.
 
Operating Expenses
 
The operating expenses decreased in the three month period ended June 30, 2015 to $112,496 compared to the same period of 2014 of $265,418.  This substantial decrease was a result of management substantially reducing operations due to an unavailability of capital to fund operating losses.  With the recent clearance of the trading symbol  from the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) and the commencement of trading quotes in the OTC Market of the Company’s common shares the Company anticipates that it will be easier to raise capital and resume operations but there can be no assurance to this effect.  If capital is available we anticipate expenses will increase substantially.
 
 Other Expenses.
 
Nil
 
Net Loss.  
 
The Company recognized a net loss of $112,496 for the three month period ended June 30, 2015 as compared to a net loss of $265,418 for the same period of 2014.   Changes in net (loss) are primarily attributable to operations being put on hold while the Company waits for the commencement of public trading quotes of the Company’s common shares in order to facilitate the access to new sources of capital to implement the business plan.
 
 
21

 
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Net cash used by operating activities was $24,919 and $117,114 for the three month periods ended June  30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.  The decrease is attributable to the hold being placed on the implementation of the business plan while the Company waits for the commencement of public trading of the Company’s common shares in order to facilitate the financing plans.   The Company had a working capital deficiency of $861,605 as of June 30, 2015 compared to $845,406 as of March 31, 2015.
 
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 3rd, 2014 with the unvested portion vesting pro-rata for each USD$250,000 ($311,850) raised in the offering, fully vesting upon USD$1,500,000 ($1,871,100) being raised.    All of the Company's financial liabilities other than the warrant liability of $348,665 and the term loan of $30,000 have contractual maturities of less than 30 days and are subject to normal trade terms.
 
The current level of development activity necessitates a cash requirement of approximately $20,000 per month. This monthly cash requirement will increase as the demonstration production facility is developed.   The Company anticipates it will require a further $875,000 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
 
The Company completed a term loan commitment for $30,000 during the period ended June 30, 2015.  The terms of the loan are an interest rate of 12% per annum payable quarterly plus a transaction cost of $3,000.
 
The Company intends to undertake a registration with the SEC for a public offering to raise up to USD$1.5 Million as soon as practical.  We had delayed the filing leading to this offering pending the commencement of the public quotation of the Company’s common shares.  We expect to be able to have our common shares quoted on the over-the-counter market in the United States within the next few weeks. We believe that a small company such as ours will be more successful in raising capital if the stock is quoted and has commenced some initial level of trading.  There can be no assurance that an active trading market will develop if at all or that the Company will be able to raise capital.
 
The Company additionally plans to undertake a funding application with the AgriInnovation Program (through the Canadian Department of Agriculture) for funding under a repayable loan program for up to $2 Million in matching funds.  The funding program is on the basis of matching funds contributed by the Company towards the approved project.

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, 2015.
 
Use of estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.   Actual results could materially differ from these estimates.
 
Going Concern
 
These financial statements have been prepared on the basis of a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business.  The Company is in the development stage and has not yet realized profitable operations and has relied on non-operational sources to fund operations.  The Company has suffered recurring losses and additional future losses are anticipated as the Company has not yet been able to generate revenue.  In addition, as of June 30, 2015, the Company has a working capital deficiency of $861,605 (March 31, 2015 - $845,406) and an accumulated deficit of $1,921,869 (March 31, 2015 - $1,809,373).  The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on successfully executing its business plan, which includes the raising of additional funds.  The Company will continue to seek additional forms of debt or equity financing, but it cannot provide assurances that it will be successful in doing so.  These circumstances raise substantial doubt as to the ability of the Company to meet its obligations as they come due and accordingly, the appropriateness of the use of accounting principles applicable to a going concern.   The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.  Such adjustments could be material.

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.
 
We conducted an evaluation, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, as of June 30, 2015, to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed or submitted by us under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, including to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed or submitted by us under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of June 30, 2015, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level due to the material weaknesses identified and described below.
 
Our principal executive officers do not expect that our disclosure controls or internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. Although our disclosure controls and procedures were designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and our principal executive officers have determined that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at doing so, a control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute assurance that the objectives of the system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented if there exists in an individual a desire to do so. There can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
 
Remediation Plan to Address the Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.
 
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Management identified the following three material weaknesses that have caused management to conclude that, as of June 30, 2015, our disclosure controls and procedures, and our internal control over financial reporting, were not effective at the reasonable assurance level:
 
1. We do not have written documentation of our internal control policies and procedures. Written documentation of key internal controls over financial reporting is a requirement of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act as of the period ending June 30, 2015. Management evaluated the impact of our failure to have written documentation of our internal controls and procedures on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness.
 
2. We do not have sufficient segregation of duties within accounting functions, which is a basic internal control. Due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible. However, to the extent possible, the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions should be performed by separate individuals. Management evaluated the impact of our failure to have segregation of duties on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness.
 
3. Effective controls over the control environment have not been fully implemented. Specifically management has not developed and effectively communicated to employees its accounting policies and procedures. This has resulted in inconsistent practices. Further, our Board of Directors has only one independent member. Since these entity level programs have a pervasive effect across the organization, management has determined that these circumstances constitute a material weakness.
 
The Company has initiated a program to address the above weaknesses, specifically the Company has implemented a Code of Business Ethics and Conduct policy, an Equal Opportunity policy, a Freedom from Harassment policy, a Substance Abuse policy and a Whistleblower policy.   While segregation of duties is very difficult in a small company the Company has an internal policy that all bank expenditures are authorized by two people.   In addition, the Company has constituted an Audit Committee, consisting of two non-management directors with the Independent Director as the Chair.
 
To address the material weaknesses identified, management performed additional analyses and other procedures to ensure that the financial statements included herein fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Accordingly, we believe that the financial statements included in this report fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
 
To remediate the material weakness in our documentation, evaluation and testing of internal controls we plan to engage a third-party firm to assist us in remedying this material weakness. We intend to remedy our material weakness with regard to insufficient segregation of duties by hiring additional employees in order to segregate duties in a manner that establishes effective internal controls. All such required remedies are dependent on having the financial resources available to complete them.
 
Changes in internal controls.
 
No change in our system of internal control over financial reporting occurred during the period covered by this report, the quarter ended June 30, 2015, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
