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 conducting research through sponsored research agreements with two universities to support development of health products
utilizing cannabis, hemp and algae oil. The Company’s planned principal operations are the sale of oil extracted from cannabis
oils plus the sale of uniquely formulated health products utilizing cannabis oils, algae oils and hemp oils.
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; an addendum to this agreement was signed on January 17, 2017 and the agreement
was extended for one year in August 2017. See Note 10.
On
May 8, 2017, the Company signed an additional consulting agreement with Carter, Terry & Company in connection with the proposed
capital raise in a combination of equity and/or debt of the Company for a term of two years. See Note 10.
In
August 2017, the Company signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) with an authorized licensed producer of cannabis for medical purposes.
See Note 13
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
unaudited 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, 2017, the Company has a working capital deficiency of $856,489 (March 31, 2017 - $852,514) and an accumulated deficit
of $6,231,297 (March 31, 2017 - $6,134,941). 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.

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, 2017. These unaudited 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, 2017, 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, 2017, and the results of its operations for
the three month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 and its cash flows for the three month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016.
Note disclosures have been presented for material updates to the information previously reported in the annual financial statements.
Estimates
The
preparation of these unaudited 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.
New
Accounting Pronouncements
ASU
No. 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes, was issued to simplify the classification
of deferred taxes on the balance sheet. The new guidance would require that deferred taxes be classified as non-current assets
and liabilities based on the tax paying jurisdiction. Application of the standard, which can be applied prospectively or retrospectively,
is required for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2016 and for interim periods within that year. The adoption of
the amended guidance does not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
ASU
No. 2016-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The ASU includes
multiple provisions intended to simplify various aspects of the accounting for share-based payments. The areas of simplification
in the update involve several aspects of accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences,
classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows, however, some of
the areas for simplification apply only to non-public entities. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after
December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. The guidance does not have a material impact on the Company’s
financial statements.

Advances
from Shareholders
|
As
at June 30, 2017, the Company had received cumulative net working capital advances in the amount of $29,122 (March 31, 2017 -
$22,347) from two shareholders who are also officers and directors of the Company. The advances from shareholders are unsecured,
non-interest bearing and payable upon demand.
On
May 4, 2016, the Company agreed to a term loan of $40,000 for bridge financing with a relative of one of the officers of the Company.
The loan matured on November 30, 2017 and the terms specified a 30% premium to be paid at that time. The 30% premium
is recognized as an expense over the term of the loan and is amortized on the statements of operations. During the period ended
June 30, 2017 the Company recorded accretion expense of $1,902 (2016 - $5,897). The loan was initially scheduled to mature on
August 28, 2016 but an extension of three months, followed by a second extension of three months and followed by a further extension
to February 28, 2018 was agreed to with the same terms.

Convertible
Notes

|
(a)
|
Promissory
Note
|
On
February 14, 2017, the Company issued a promissory note to Salamon Partners LLC (“Salamon”), an arm’s length
organization, for a principal amount of USD$50,000 ($65,350) at 12% per annum. The net proceeds were USD$47,500 which consisted
of the principal amount, net of transaction cost of US$2,500. The principal amount became due on August 15, 2017. The outstanding
amount may be prepaid at any time at the option of the Company. In the event of a prepayment the penalty rate shall be assessed
as follows:

if the prepayment occurs within 60 days of the loan issuance, the prepayment penalty will equal twenty-five (25%) of the principal
amount prepaid
ii.)
If the prepayment occurs within 60 to 90 days of the loan issuance, the prepayment penalty will equal thirty percent (30%) of
the principal amount prepaid
iii.)
If the prepayment occurs within 90 to 120 days of the loan, the prepayment penalty will equal thirty-five (35%) of the principal
amount.
The
holder of the note may, after a period of 180 days, at its sole option, convert the outstanding principal balance and accrued
interest of 12% per annum, into the Company’s common shares at a market closing bid discount of 50% if converting at less
than 5 days of the average trading volume, 60% if converting at more than 5 days of the average trading volume and 65% if converting
at more than 10 days of the average trading volume at maturity.
Due
to the variable conversion price associated with this promissory note and the fact that the conversion price is denominated in
US dollars whereas the functional currency is the Canadian dollar, the Company has determined that the conversion feature is a
derivative liability. The value of the embedded conversion feature at the date of issuance was estimated to be $135,510 (2016
- $Nil), which was recorded as a derivative liability as of the date of issuance. The debt discount is being amortized over the
term of the promissory note.

The

note using the effective interest rate method, at a rate of 213%. During the period ended June 30, 2017, the Company accreted
$33,623 (2016 - $Nil) in non-cash accretion expense in connection with the promissory note, which is included in accretion expense
on the statements of operations.
Subsequent
to the end of the quarter, the promissory note was fully paid at maturity, August 15, 2017. See Note 13.

Securities
Purchase Agreement and Convertible Note
|
On
November 18, 2016, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (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 a senior convertible note with a principal amount of USD$56,500 ($76,382) for a purchase price
of USD$50,000 ($67,595).
The
convertible note matures upon the earlier of successfully raising of at least USD$200,000 or August 18, 2017 and accrues interest
at the rate of 10% per annum. The convertible note is convertible following ninety (90) days of the execution of the note, 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
had 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.
Due
to the variable conversion price associated with this convertible note, the Company has determined that the conversion feature
is considered a derivative liability. The embedded conversion feature at the date of issuance was estimated to be $117,807 (2016
- $Nil), which was recorded as a derivative liability as of the date of issuance. The debt discount is being amortized over the
term of the convertible note.

The
discount to the carrying value of the convertible note is being amortized as a non-cash interest expense over the term of the
convertible note using the effective interest rate method, at a rate of 144%. During the period ended June 30, 2017, the Company
accreted $35,776 (2016 - $Nil) in non-cash accretion expense in connection with the convertible note, which is included
in accretion expense on the statements of operations.
Subsequent
to June 30, 2017 the note was fully paid. See Note 13.
(c)
Convertible Note
On
June 21, 2017, the Company commenced a financing of up to USD$500,000 of one-year 12% convertible notes. The notes are convertible
at the option of the holder into common shares of the Company at a price of USD$0.25 per share, and are subject to mandatory conversion
if the volume-weighted trading price of the common shares is greater than USD$1.00 per share for twenty consecutive trading days
so long as the underlying shares may be resold in compliance with the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended. In addition, the Company shall issue pro rata to the purchasers of the first USD$100,000 of notes an aggregate of
200,000 common shares as a commitment fee. To June 30, 2017, the Company issued USD$50,000 ($66,451) of these notes. The
Company also granted 200,000 common share purchase warrants to the holders of the USD$50,000 notes. Each warrant is exercisable
into one common share at USD$0.50 ($0.65) for a period of five years.

(c)
Convertible Note (continued)
Due
to the fact that the conversion price and the warrant exercise price are denominated in US dollars whereas the functional currency
is the Canadian dollar, the Company has determined that the conversion feature and the warrant are derivative liabilities. The
value of the embedded conversion feature at the date of issuance was estimated to be $19,166, which was recorded as a derivative
liability as of the date of issuance. The value of the warrant at the date of the issuance was estimated at $27,152, which was
recorded as a warrant liability as of the date of issuance. The debt discount is being amortized over the term of the note.
The
Company used the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions to estimate the fair value of the derivative
liability at the date of issuance:

The
Company’s computation of expected volatility is based on the quoted market close price of the Company’s shares over
the period equal to the expected life of the convertible note. The Company’s computation of expected life is calculated
using the contractual life.
The
discount to the carrying value of the convertible note is being amortized as a non-cash interest expense over the term of the
convertible note using the effective interest rate method, at a rate of 103%. During the period ended June 30, 2017, the Company
accreted $1,741 in non-cash accretion expense in connection with the convertible note, which is included in accretion expense
on the statements of operations.

The
convertible notes discussed in Note 6 have variable conversion prices which results in the conversion feature being recorded as
derivative liabilities.
The
fair value of the derivative liabilities are recorded and shown separately under current liabilities. Changes in the fair value
of the derivative liabilities are recorded in the statement of operations.
The
Company used the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions to estimate the fair value
of the derivative liability at June 30, 2017:

The

term of the conversion feature.

Warrants (continued)
During
the period ended June 30, 2017, the Company issued 200,000 warrants of the Company valued at $27,152 (USD$20,400), pursuant to
the financing described in Note 6 (c). Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one common share at an issue price of USD$0.50
($0.65) for a period of 5 years after the date of issuance. The fair value of the warrants at the date of grant of $27,152 was
estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, based on the following weighted average assumptions: stock price of USD$0.11;
expected dividend yield of 0%; risk free interest rate of 1.13%; expected volatility of 221%; and expected term of 5 years. The
Company’s computation of expected volatility used to estimate the fair value of the warrants as at June 30, 2017 is based
on the market close price of comparable public entities over the period equal to the expected remaining life of the warrants.
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.

Warrants (continued)
Of
this amount, $115,555 (March 31, 2017 - $236,200) was reflected as a liability as at June 30, 2017, 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,
2017.
The
warrant liability is classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy (See Note 12). The Company’s computation of expected
volatility during the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 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, 2017 was 695,000 (2016 – 930,000). No options were granted during the
three months ended June 30, 2017. 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 2,000,628 as at June 30, 2017 (March 31, 2017 – 2,000,628).

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, 2017, the Company had cash of
$1,553 (March 31, 2017 - $87) to settle current liabilities of $946,122 (March 31, 2017 - $897,442). All of the Company’s
financial liabilities other than the warrant liability of $115,555 (March 31, 2017 - $236,200), the term loan of $50,796 (March
31, 2017 - $48,894), the convertible notes of $67,952 (March 31, 2017 - $26,076) a promissory note of $48,899 (March 31,
2017 - $16,456), and derivative liability of $217,763 (March 31, 2017 - $260,677) 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 cannabis 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.

Financial Instruments (continued)
(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,
2017, the Company held $1,553 (March 31, 2017 - $87) 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. Certain of the Company’s debt obligations are denominated in U.S. dollars. Management
does not hedge its foreign exchange risk.
(d)
Interest rate risk
As
at June 30, 2017, the Company does not have any non-fixed interest-bearing debt. Management believes that the interest rate
risk concentration with respect to financial instruments included in assets and liabilities has been reduced to the extent presently
practicable.
(e)
Derivative liability – warrant liability
In
connection with consulting agreements, the Company granted warrants to purchase up to 1,175,000 common shares of the Company as
disclosed in Note 8(b). The warrants have an exercise price of USD$0.04 ($0.052) for Connectus warrants, USD$0.65
($0.85) for Midtown warrants and USD$0.50 ($0.65) for the investment place in June 2017. The Connectus warrants are exercisable
at any time prior to December 31, 2017, the Midtown warrants are exercisable at any time prior to January 16, 2022 and the warrants
for the investment undertaken in June are exerciseable prior to June 21, 2022. 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

has determined that the conversion features are considered derivative liabilities due to the variable conversion prices associated
with the notes and the fact that the conversion price is denominated in US dollars whereas the functional currency of the Company
is the Canadian dollar. See Note 7.

Subsequent Events
On
April 19, 2017, the Company announced plans to form a joint venture corporation with Avanti Rx Analytics Inc. (ARA). The
Company would own 96% of the joint venture and ARA would own 4%. As a result of signing the letter of Intent with Bonify on August
10, 2017 (details provided below) the Company will not be proceeding with the joint venture.
During
the quarter ended June 30, 2017, the Company commenced a financing of up to USD$500,000, see Note 6 (c
).
The convertible notes include a provision that
