DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Our Corporate History and Background

Loop Holdings, Inc. was incorporated on March 11, 2010 under the laws of the State of Nevada, under the name "Radikal Phones Inc." We changed our name to "First American Group Inc." on October 7, 2010, and then we changed our name to our current name, "Loop Industries, Inc.", effective July 21, 2015. From our formation on March 11, 2010 until June 29, 2015, we were engaged in the development, sales and marketing of VoIP telephone services to enable end-users to place free phone calls over the Internet in return for viewing and listening to advertising. Mazen Kouta served as President, Treasurer and a director, and Zeeshan Sajid served as Secretary and a director of our company from April 27, 2010 until their resignation on June 29, 2015. Concurrent with their resignation, Messrs. Kouta and Sajid appointed Daniel Solomita, the President, Secretary, Treasurer and Chairman of the Board Directors of Loop Holdings. Upon his appointment as a director on June 29, 2015, Mr. Solomita appointed himself as President and Chief Executive Officer, Secretary and Treasurer, and appointed Don Danks as a director.

Reverse Acquisition of Loop Holdings

All references to shares of common stock in this Annual Report on Form 10-K give effect to a one-for-four (1:4) reverse split of the Company's issued and outstanding shares of common stock, which reverse split took effect on the OTCQB on September 21, 2015.

On June 29, 2015, Loop Industries, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the "Company"), entered into a Share Exchange Agreement, 2015 (the "Share Exchange Agreement"), by and among the Company, Loop Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation ("Loop Holdings"), and the holders of common stock of Loop Holdings. The holders of the common stock of Loop Holdings consisted of 40 stockholders. Closing of the transactions under the Share Exchange Agreement also took place on June 29, 2015.

Under the terms and conditions of the Share Exchange Agreement, the Company offered, sold and issued 23,257,500 shares of common stock in consideration for all the issued and outstanding shares in Loop Holdings. The effect of the issuance was that Loop Holdings shareholders held approximately 78.1% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company upon consummation of the Share Exchange Agreement. Additionally, Daniel Solomita, the Company's new President and Chief Executive Officer, Secretary, Treasurer and Chairman of the Board of Directors, became the holder of 17,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company, or 57.1% of the outstanding common stock of the Company, on a fully diluted basis. Donald Danks, also a director of the Company, became the beneficial holder of 1,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company. Pursuant to a Stock Redemption Agreement dated June 29, 2015 entered into commensurate with the share exchange, the Company redeemed 25,000,000 shares of First American Group common stock from two stockholders' for an aggregate redemption price of $16,000.

As a result of the share exchange, Loop Holdings became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. 

The share exchange transaction with Loop Holdings was treated as a reverse acquisition, with Loop Holdings as the acquiror and the Company as the acquired party. Unless the context suggests otherwise, when we refer in this Annual Report on Form 10-K to business and financial information for periods prior to the consummation of the reverse acquisition, we are referring to the business and financial information of Loop Holdings.

Issuance of One Share of Series A Preferred Stock to Daniel Solomita

On February 15, 2016, the Company and Mr. Solomita entered into an Amendment No. 1 to Employment Agreement (the "Amendment No. 1"), which amends the Employment Agreement. Amendment No. 1 provides that the Company shall issue Mr. Solomita one share of the Company's Series A Preferred Stock for consideration of Mr. Solomita agreeing not to terminate his employment with the Company for a period of five years from the date of Amendment No. 1. The effect of Amendment No. 1 is to provide Mr. Solomita control of the Company in the event that his presently-held 57% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company is diluted to less than a majority. In order to issue Mr. Solomita his one share of Series A Preferred Stock under Amendment No. 1, the Company created "blank check" preferred stock. Subsequently, the board of directors of the Company approved a Certificate of Designation creating the Series A Preferred Stock. Subsequently, the Company issued one share of Series A Preferred Stock to Mr. Solomita.

The one share of Series A Preferred Stock issued to Mr. Solomita equals voting power equal to 65% of the voting power of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company so long a Mr. Solomita holds not less than 7.5% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company, assuring Mr. Solomita of control of the Company in the event that his presently-held 57% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company is diluted to a level below a majority.

Additionally, the one share of Series A Preferred Stock issued to Mr. Solomita contains protective provisions, which precludes the Company from taking the certain actions without Mr. Solomita's (or that of any person to whom the one share of Series A Preferred Stock is transferred) approval. More specifically, so long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Company shall not, without first obtaining the approval (by vote or written consent, as provided by law) of the holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, voting as a separate class:

(a) amend the Articles of Incorporation or, unless approved by the Board of Directors, including by the Series A Director, amend the Company's Bylaws;

(b) change or modify the rights, preferences or other terms of the Series A Preferred Stock, or increase or decrease the number of authorized shares of Series A Preferred Stock;

(c) reclassify or recapitalize any outstanding equity securities, or, unless approved by the Board of Directors, including by the Series A Director, authorize or issue, or undertake an obligation to authorize or issue, any equity securities or any debt securities convertible into or exercisable for any equity securities (other than the issuance of stock-options or securities under any employee option or benefit plan);

(d) authorize or effect any transaction constituting a Deemed Liquidation (as defined in this subparagraph) under the Articles, or any other merger or consolidation of the Company;

(e) increase or decrease the size of the Board of Directors as provided in the Bylaws of the Company or remove the Series A Director (unless approved by the Board of Directors, including the Series A Director);

(f) declare or pay any dividends or make any other distribution with respect to any class or series of capital stock (unless approved by the Board of Directors, including the Series A Director);

(g) redeem, repurchase or otherwise acquire (or pay into or set aside for a sinking fund for such purpose) any outstanding shares of capital stock (other than the repurchase of shares of common stock from employees, consultants or other service providers pursuant to agreements approved by the Board of Directors under which the Company has the option to repurchase such shares at no greater than original cost upon the occurrence of certain events, such as the termination of employment) (unless approved by the Board of Directors, including the Series A Director);

(h) create or amend any stock option plan of the Company, if any (other than amendments that do not require approval of the stockholders under the terms of the plan or applicable law) or approve any new equity incentive plan;

(i) replace the President and/or Chief Executive Officer of the Company (unless approved by the Board of Directors, including the Series A Director);

5

(j) transfer assets to any subsidiary or other affiliated entity (unless approved by the Board of Directors, including the Series A Director);

(k) issue, or cause any subsidiary of the Company to issue, any indebtedness or debt security, other than trade accounts payable and/or letters of credit, performance bonds or other similar credit support incurred in the ordinary course of business, or amend, renew, increase or otherwise alter in any material respect the terms of any indebtedness previously approved or required to be approved by the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock (unless approved by the Board of Directors, including the Series A Director);

(l) modify or change the nature of the Company's business;

(m) acquire, or cause a Subsidiary of the Company to acquire, in any transaction or series of related transactions, the stock or any material assets of another person, or enter into any joint venture with any other person (unless approved by the Board of Directors, including the Series A Director); or

Overview of Loop Holdings

Our wholly owned subsidiary, Loop Holdings was incorporated on October 23, 2014, in Nevada.

The business of Loop Holdings is the principal business of the Company. Loop Holdings is in the business of depolymerizing waste plastics and converting them into valuable chemicals. We have never generated any revenues. The commercialization of our depolymerization technology is in its incipient stages must be scaled-up before we can commercialize the technology and generate any revenues. Commercialization will consist of selling depolymerized PET, and could, secondarily, the licensing of our depolymerization technology.

In addition to $445,050 paid by the Company under the Intellectual Property Assignment Agreement on April 1, 2015, the agreement provides that the Company will  make additional payments totaling CDN$800,000 to be paid to Mr. Essaddam within sixty (60) days of each of the following milestones (the "Milestones") having been met, as follows:

(i)

CDN$200,000 when an average of twenty (20) metric tons per day of terephthalic acid meeting the is produced by the Company for twenty (20) operating days;

(ii)

CDN$200,000 when an average of thirty (30) metric tons per day of terephthalic acid is produced by the Company for thirty (30) operating days;

(iii)

CDN$200,000 when an average of sixty (60) metric tons per day of terephthalic acid is produced by the Company for sixty (60) operating days; and

(iv)

CDN$200,000 when an average of one hundred (100) metric tons per day of terephthalic acid is produced by the Company for sixty (60) operating days.

6

As of February 29, 2016, and as of June 8, 2016, none of the Milestones have been met, and accordingly no CDN$200,000 payment has been made.

Additionally, the Company is obligated to make royalty payments of up to CDN$27,000,000, payable as follows:

(a)

10% of gross profits on the sale of all products derived by the Company from the technology assigned to the Company under the agreement;

(b)

10% of any license fee paid to the Company in respect of any licensing or other right to use the technology assigned to the Company and granted to a third party by the Assignee;

(c)

5% of any royalty or other similar payment made to the Company by a third party to whom a license or other right to use the technology assigned to the Company has been granted by the Company; and

(d)

5% of any royalty or other similar payment made to the Company by a third party in respect of a sub-license or other right to use the technology assigned to the Company granted by the third party.

As of February 29, 2016, and as of June 8, 2016, we have not made any royalty payments under the Intellectual Property Assignment Agreement.

Closing of the transactions under the Intellectual Property Assignment Agreement occurred on October 27, 2014, when Mr. Essaddam and 9319-7218 Quebec Inc., an entity controlled by Mr. Essaddam, executed an Assignment and Moral Rights Waiver to Loop Holdings, assigning the depolymerization technology underlying the business of Loop Holdings to Loop Holdings. Loop Holdings has paid all consideration (except for possible future royalty payments) and met all closing conditions under the Intellectual Property Assignment Agreement. As of October 27, 2014, and as of the date of the filing of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, Loop Holdings has full and unconditional title to, and there are no restrictions to the use of, the depolymerization technology and any other intellectual property the subject of Intellectual Property Assignment Agreement. 

As used in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the following two terms are being provided so investors can better understand our business.

business:

Depolymerization refers to a chemical process of breaking down polymers into its monomers or smaller oligomers.
PET is an acronym for polyethylene terephthalate, which is a plastic resin and a type of polyester.polyester showing excellent tensile and impact strength, chemical resistance, clarity, process-ability and reasonable thermal stability. PET is the material which is most commonly used asfor plastic packaging, including plastic bottles to contain beverages,for water, carbonated soft drinks, containers for food and other consumer products, and is usually identified by a number 1, often inside an image of a triangle, on the packaging.

Overview
Loop Industries, Inc. is a technology and licensing company whose mission is to any process used to chemically break down PET materials into a form so that they can be reused. Onceaccelerate the material is reused, such as forworld’s shift toward sustainable plastic beverage bottles, plastic food containers or fleece clothing, as only three of many examples, then the PET has been recycled.

Our depolymerization of PET process is completed through a series of chemical reactions. Once PET is depolymerized, the result is two principal parts called "monomers." The two monomers are called "purified terephthalic acid and ethylene glycol.

Our depolymerization process is summarized as follows:

·

PET bottles are shredded into 5 mm size pieces;

·

Shredded PET is put into a large reactor, where certain chemicals are added;

·

The PET molecular chain begins to be broken down in 20 minutes;

·

Purified terephthalic acid (solid)away from our dependence on fossil fuels. Loop owns patented and ethylene glycol (liquid) and mother liquor are separated using a combination of centrifugation and distillation;

·

The mother liquor is returned to the reactor to be reused in the process; and

·

Purified terephthalic acid and ethylene glycol are processed and packaged.

Summary of our Business

Our business focuses on depolymerizing waste plastics and converting them into valuable chemicals, ready to be reintroduced into the manufacturing of virgin plastics. Our proprietary technology breaks down polyethylene yerephthalate ("PET") into its base chemicals, purified terephthalic acid ("PTA")that depolymerizes no and ethylene glycol ("EG"), at a recovery rate of 100%.

Loop Holdings' technology useslow value waste PET plastics such as water bottles, soda bottles, consumer packaging, carpets and industrial waste as feedstock to process. These feedstock are readily available through municipal triage centers, industrial recycling and landfill reclamation projects.

Purified terephthalic acid is a high-value chemical currently selling at approximately $1,000 per metric ton, used mainly in the production of PET plastic and polyester fiber.fiber, including plastic bottles and packaging, carpet and polyester textile of any color, transparency or condition and even ocean plastics that have been degraded by the sun and salt, to its base building blocks (monomers).  The resulting product appears as a crystalline substance, which is thenmonomers are filtered, purified dried and stored. repolymerized to create virgin-quality Loop™ branded PET plastic resin and polyester fiber suitable for use in food-grade packaging to be sold to consumer goods companies to help them meet their sustainability objectives.  Through our customers and production partners, Loop is leading a global movement toward a circular economy by commercializing a leading-edge technology which will ensure plastic stays in the economy for a more sustainable future for all.

Industry Background
We believe that thethere is an increasing demand for terephthalic acidaction to address the global plastic crisis, which has been characterized by facts provided by leading academic and not-for profit organizations. For example, the University of Georgia reports eight million metric tons of plastic waste flows into our shared oceans every year, and, according to The New Plastics Economy, by 2050 more plastic waste is expected to hit an all-time high of 60 million metric tons (132 billion pounds) in 2015 and 72 million metric tons (158.4 billion pounds) by 2020.

Ethylene glycol ("EG") is an organic compound primarily used as a raw materialbe present in the manufactureocean than fish (by mass). Couple this information with the global annual market demand for PET plastic and polyester fiber at nearly $130 billion, and the current growth projections from the 2018 IHS Polymer Market Report indicating this will exceed $160 billion by 2022, and the need for governments and consumer brands to take decisive action to stem this global plastic crisis becomes readily apparent.

Examples of polyester fibersactions and trends of 2018 and early 2019 that demonstrate the significance of the plastic crisis:
The United Kingdom has proposed aregulation expected to impose atax on plastic packaging imported or manufactured in the United Kingdom that does not contain at least 30% recycled content. This compliments the proposed reform of the producer responsibility regime for packagingthroughout the United Kingdom; and tools to increase the recycling of municipal waste from households and businesses in England;
The proposed European Union Directive on the reduction of the impact of certain plastic products on the environment is expected to require that single-use PET used in bottling. A small percentage is also used in industrial applications like antifreeze formulationsplastic bottles contain 25% recycled content by 2025 and other industrial products. It is an odorless, colorless, syrupy, sweet-tasting liquid. Current selling30% by 2030;
France has proposed to increase the price of EGsingle-use plastic containers that use virgin PET plastic by up to 10% in an effort to discourage consumers from buying packaging that does not contain recycled content;
Plastic pollution continues to be one of the most persistently covered environmental issues by media and local and global environmental non-governmental organizations; and
Global consumer goods companies have made significant commitments to make the transition to a circular plastic economy, namely:
i.
In January 2018, Danone’s evian® brand bottled spring water committed to a 100% recycled content package by 2025;
ii.
In 2018, Coca-Cola committed to an average recycled content of 50% across its plastic packaging by 2030;
iii.
In October 2018, PepsiCo committed to an average recycled content of 33% in its packaging by 2025;
iv.
In December 2018, Nestle Waters committed that its plastic packaging will contain 50% recycled content by 2025; and
v.
In February 2019, the L’OCCITANE Group, a globalmanufacturer and retailer of natural cosmetics, committed to a 100% recycled content package by 2025.
We believe these trends indicate that the transformation from a linear to a circular plastic economy is approximately $1,050 pernot only necessary and inevitable, but underway. And that this transition is leading to a substantial demand for sustainable, cost-effective, marketable Loop™ PET plastic resin and polyester fiber.

Our Technology
The power of our technology lies in its ability to divert and recover what is currently considered plastic waste from landfills, rivers, oceans and natural areas for use as feedstock to create new, sustainable, infinitely recyclable Loop™ PET plastic resin and polyester fiber. We believe our technology can deliver a cost-effective and profitable virgin quality PET plastic resin suitable for use in food-grade packaging.
Our Generation I technology process yielded polyethylene terephthalate (“PTA”) and monoethylene glycol (“MEG”), two common monomers of PET plastic, through depolymerization. While monomers were of excellent purity and strong yield, we continued to challenge ourselves to drive down cost and eliminate inputs. It was during this process that we realized we could eliminate water and chlorinated solvents from the purification process, reduce the number of reagents from five to two and reduce the number of purification steps from 12 to four, if we shifted from the production of PTA to the production of dimethyl terephthalate (“DMT”), another proven monomer of PET plastic that is far simpler to purify. Since June 2018, when we transitioned to our Generation II technology and our newly built industrial pilot plant, we continue to see consistently high monomer yields, excellent purity and improved conversion costs
This shift, from producing the monomer PTA to the monomer DMT was a pivotal moment for Loop. The Generation II technology is more cost-effective, easier to commercialize, more economical for our customers and requires less energy and fewer resource inputs than conventional PET production processes. We believe it to be one of the most environmentally sustainable methods for producing virgin quality food-grade PET plastic in the world.
To protect our technology, and in addition to the patents we hold for our Generation I (or “GEN I”) technology, we have patents pending for our Generation II (or “GEN II”) technology in various jurisdictions around the world. On April 9, 2019, the GEN II U.S. patent was formally approved and issued. Freedom to Operate searches have also been conducted that indicate no conflicts with any of our existing patents or applications and we adhere to rigorous internal data and confidentiality controls.
Commercialization Progress
During the year ended February 28, 2019, we continued executing our corporate strategy where Loop focused on developing three major streams of revenue. These revenue streams are expected to be from the sale of Loop™ PET plastic resin and polyester fiber to customers from our joint venture with Indorama Ventures Limited (“IVL”), license fees from our Waste-to-Resin (“WtR™”) facilities and development fees from the sale and construction of WtR™ facilities around the world.
In September 2018, in connection with the first of these streams, we announced a joint venture with IVL to manufacture and commercialize sustainable Loop™ branded PET plastic resin and polyester fiber to meet the growing global demand from beverage and consumer packaged goods companies. The joint venture agreement details the establishment of a 20,700 metric ton.tonnes facility in the southeastern United States. As the 20,700 metric tonnes production capacity is fully subscribed by customers. which include Danone, PepsiCo, and Coca-Cola’s Cross Enterprise Procurement Group, the joint venture is evaluating increasing the capacity of the facility. The facility is expected to commence production in the second half of the calendar year 2020.
Also, in the 2019 fiscal year, we secured key partners such as Thyssenkrupp Industrial Solutions(“tkIS”), built our brand and continued to secure the feedstock needed to support our commercial success.
Production
There are two principal modes planned for commercializing production of Loop™ branded PET plastic resin and polyester fiber. These include the retrofit of existing PET production facilities and the development of greenfield integrated WtR™ facilities around the world, which are described here.
In September of 2018, we announced a joint venture with IVL to manufacture and commercialize sustainable Loop™ branded PET plastic resin and polyester fiber to meet the growing global market volume for ethylene glycols was 16.5 million metric tons (36 billion pounds)demand from beverage and consumer packaged goods companies. The 50/50 joint venture has an exclusive world-wide license to use our technology to retrofit existing IVL facilities, so each can produce 100% sustainable Loop™ PET plastic resin and polyester fiber. The first facility, in 2013Spartanburg, South Carolina, is anticipated to begin commercial production in the second half of the calendar year 2020 and is expected to reach 22.8 millionproduce 20,700 metric tons (45 billion pounds) by 2020, growing at a CAGRtonnes of 4.7% from 2014 to 2020.

Raw Material

sustainable Loop™ PET plastic resin and is our sourcefully subscribed by leading global consumer brands.


As part of feedstock. PET is a polyester showing excellent tensile and impact strength, chemical resistance, clarity, process ability and reasonable thermal stability. Althoughthe joint venture agreement, the Company anticipates contributing equity to meet its main application by far is infinancial obligations under the textile industry, tremendous quantities of this material are consumed injoint venture agreement with IVL. As at May 2, 2019, the manufacturing of soft-drink and water bottles, as well as in food packaging.

PET does not create a direct hazardCompany has contributed $500,000 to the environment, butjoint venture. Also, due to its substantial fraction volume inincreasing market demand from existing and potential customers, and the plastic waste streampositive work on the preliminary engineering conducted at the facility, the joint venture is evaluating options to increase the capacity at the plant to 40,000 metric tonnes and its high resistancethe Company anticipates a decision to atmospheric and biological agents, it could be considered as a noxious material. PET accounts for 8%made by weight and 12% by volumethe second quarter of the world's solid waste.

PET recycling represents one offiscal year 2020. If the most successful and widespread examples of polymer recycling. The main driving force responsible forjoint venture decides to expand production capacity, this extremewould increase in recycling of post-consumer PET is its widespread use, particularly in the beverage and food industry.

PET bottles are characterized by high strength, low weight and permeability of gases (mainly CO 2), as well as by their aesthetic appearance (good light transmittance, smooth surface). They do not have any side effect on the human organism. Many attempts are currently directed toward recycling of PET waste, because of the interests in environmental protection, energy preservation and economic benefits.

Among the different recycling techniques (primary, mechanical, chemical and energy recovery), the acceptable one accordingCompany’s required equity contribution to the principles of "sustainable development" is chemical recycling, since it leads tojoint venture. The Company expects that the formation of the raw materials from which the polymer is made, as well as of other secondary value-added products. Chemical recycling has been defined as the process leading to total Depolymerization of PET into monomers, or partial Depolymerization into oligomers and other chemical substances.

According to NAPCOR (National Association for PET Container Resources), in 2012 in the US:

·

PET bottles represented a total of 5.6 Billion lbs. of PET available to be recycled;

·

Only 1.72 Billion lbs. were collected; and

·

There was only a 30.8% PET bottle recycling rate.

The NAPCOR United Kingdom Statistics for 2011 PET Recycling include:

·

6.7 Billion plastic bottles were recycled in 2011;

·

52% of household plastic bottles were recycled; and

·

Only 24% of plastic is recycled or recovered.

Among the various methods of PET recycling the most common is mechanical recycling, which refers to operations that aim to recover plastics waste via mechanical processes (grinding, washing, separating, drying, re-granulating and compounding), thus producing recycled plastic that can be converted into new plastics products, often substituting for virgin plastics.

The disadvantages to mechanical recycling of PET are that sorting is very labor intensive, and high energy costs are associated with the processing of material. Mechanical PET recycling is also limited to single stream PET with no contamination. Other challenges include quality degradation and color of the feedstock.

Depolymerization

Depolymerization presents two unique advantages in recycling resin-based products: (i) the ability to return a recovered resin to virgin-resin-like quality, and (ii) the potential to recover a valuable feedstock from products that are economically challenging to recycle. When plastic is mechanically recycled, even small levels of contamination can compromise the performance of the resin. However, because Depolymerization breaks down plastics into monomer form, that contamination is removed.

We have developed a proprietary process that enables us to depolymerize PET into its purest form of purified terephthalic acid ("PTA") and ethylene glycol ("EG"), under normal atmospheric pressure and at room temperature. Our unique Depolymerization process can bring even degraded, colored or heavily contaminated PET that is not recyclable back to life in the form of its base monomers, terephthalic acid and ethylene glycol. The resulting monomers (PTA & EG)additional capacity will be sold to virginexisting and new customers that are currently under negotiation.

We are also in the process of identifying additional facilities suitable for retrofit. The partnership with IVL, which we believe to be one of the world’s largest global integrated PET manufacturersplastic resin manufacturer, helps bring Loop™ PET sustainable plastic resin and polyester fiber to market more quickly and further emboldens the confidence of our customers to sign multi-year supply agreements and term sheets with us.
To drive our WtR™ solution, which is a key pillar of our commercialization blueprint, December 2018 saw us enter into a Global Alliance Agreement with Thyssenkrupp Industrial Solutions (“tkIS”) aimed at transforming the future of sustainable PET plastic resin manufacturing by combining our breakthrough depolymerization technology with tkIS’s PET Melt-To-Resin® technology. As one of the world’s leading PET and polyester engineering companies, we believe tkIS is perfectly positioned to help us commercialize our WtR™ solution—a fully integrated and reimagined manufacturing facility for sustainable Loop™ PET plastic resin and polyester fiber.
We believe the WtR™ solution will result in a highly scalable recurring revenue licensing model to supply the global demand for 100% sustainable Loop™ PET plastic resin and polyester fiber, allowing us to rapidly penetrate and transform the plastic market and fully capitalize on our disruptive potential to be the leader in the circular economy for PET plastic. This fundamentally changes where and how PET plastic resin production occurs—no longer does PET plastic resin production need to be bound to fossil fuels and fossil fuel infrastructure. WtR™ facilities could be located near large urban centers where feedstock is located, and transportation and logistics costs could be significantly reduced as the distance between feedstock, manufacturing and customer use is collapsed.
We believe the proposition for those seeking a turnkey solution to manufacture Loop™ PET plastic resin and polyester fiber, such as DuPontchemical companies, waste managers, existing recyclers and Invista.

even consumer good companies around the world is compelling. We have had our depolymerizedfurther believe this will create a recurring licensing revenue stream for us while expanding the capacity of Loop™ PET tested in third-party laboratory settings. Samples of PTAplastic resin and EG have been sent to the University of Montreal, Canada, where purity testing has been conducted using a process known as high performance liquid chromatography ("HPLC-MS"), which tests for the level of impurities on a parts-per-million basispolyester fiber in the samples ofmarketplace to meet the substantial demand from consumer goods companies.


Supply Agreements with Global Consumer Brands
Consumer brands are seeking a solution to their plastic challenge and they are taking bold action. In the past year we have seen major brands make significant commitments to close the loop on their plastic packaging in two ways, by transitioning their packaging to recyclable materials and by incorporating more recycled content into their packaging. We believe Loop™ PET plastic resin and polyester fiber provides the ideal solution for these brands because Loop™ PET plastic resin and polyester fiber is recyclable and contains 100% recycled PET and EG. We have also sent samples of PTA and EG to Uhde Inventa-Fischer, a division of ThyssenKrupp, which uses a testing process known as inductive coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy ("ICP-MS"), which tests for the level of presence of heavy metals and the presence of coloring on a parts-per-million basis. We have had this testing conducted to determine whether the PTA and EG meet certain levels of purity to be able to be used for making PET resin, and we have concluded that the PTA and EG are of industrial grade purity, orpolyester fiber content with virgin quality suitable for use in commercialfood-grade packaging. That means consumer packaged goods companies can now market packaging made from a 100% Loop™ branded PET plastic resin and polyester fiber.
As a result, in the 2019 Fiscal year, we delivered a significant number of announcements with some of the world’s leading brands, including:
Multi-year supply agreement with Danone SA, one of the world’s leading global food and beverage bottles. Wecompanies.Danone will purchase 100% sustainable and upcycled Loop™ branded PET from Loop’s joint venture facility with IVL in the United States for use in brands across its portfolio including evian®, Danone’s iconic natural spring water;
Multi-year supply agreement with PepsiCo, one of the largest purchasers of recycled PET plastic, enabling them to purchase production capacity from Loop’s joint venture facility with IVL in the United States and incorporate Loop™ PET plastic resin into its product packaging by 2020;
Multi-year supply framework with the Coca-Cola system’s Cross Enterprise Procurement Group to supply 100% recycled and sustainable Loop™ PET plastic resin from our joint venture facility with IVL in the United States to authorized Coca-Cola bottlers who enter into supply agreements with us;
Multi-year supply agreement with L’Occitane to supply 100% recycled and sustainable Loop™ PET plastic resin from our first European production facility;
A new program, free to consumers of Gatorade Gx and Drinkfinity, subsidiaries of PepsiCo, to return used Gatorade Gx and Drinkfinity pods to Loop where the PET from the pods will be processed using Loop’s technology to make Loop™ PET plastic resin and polyester fiber, and all other recyclable components are currently building a prototype modelsent for recycling;
A new program, free to consumers of our depolymerization plant.

The demandDrinkworks by Keurig®, to return used Drinkworks pods to Loop where the PET from the pods will be processed using Loop’s technology to make Loop™ PET plastic resin and polyester fiber and all other recyclable components are sent for terephthalic acid is expectedrecycling;

Letter of Intent with L’Oréal Group, the global leader in the beauty industry setting the stage for L’Oréal to hit an all-time high of 60 million metric tons (132 Billion Pounds) in 2015 and 72 million metric tons (158.4 billion pounds) by 2020.

The global market volume for ethylene glycols was 16.5 million metric tons (36 billion pounds) in 2013 and is expected to reach 22.8 million metric tons (45 billion pounds) by 2020, growing at a CAGR of 4.7% from 2014 to 2020.

Prospective Future growth

We believe that PET depolymerization expansion will drive near-term growth for Loop Holdings by opening strategically depolymerization plants close to large supplies of raw PET plastic. The largest citieswork towards becoming the first major cosmetics company in the world produceto close the most waste. By openingloop on their PET plastic packaging by incorporating Loop™ PET; and

Letter of Intent with Nestle Waters North America setting forth the framework conditions for a multi-year supply agreement for Loop™ PET.
Loop believes that due to the commitments by large global consumer brands to incorporate more recycled content into their product packaging, the regulatory requirements for minimum recycled content in packaging imposed by governments, the virgin-like quality of Loop™ branded PET and the marketability of Loop™ PET to extoll the sustainability credentials of consumer brands that incorporate Loop™ PET, it will sell its Loop™ branded PET at a premium price relative to virgin PET.

Turning Waste into Feedstock
To us, waste PET plastic and polyester fiber is feedstock, the materials introduced into our Generation II depolymerization plants closetechnology to municipal triage centers whereyield PET monomers. Our technology can use plastic sortingbottles and recycling occurs, Loop Holdings ensures a large supplypackaging of feed material to transform. Acquisitions in the plastic sorting sector are also possibilities to control the feedstockany color, transparency or condition, carpet, clothing and other polyester textiles that may contain colors, dyes or additives, and even ocean plastics that have been degraded by sun and salt. This is yet another distinct advantage of raw material.

Medium-term growth will occur with the production of virginLoop™ PET resin manufactured using our feedstock ofover mechanically recycled PTA and glycol. We will attempt to be the first company with the ability to market virgin PET, resin made from 100% recycled material.

Our long-term growth is tied to our ability to depolymerizeuse materials that nearly all other plastics, such as Nylon 6, Nylon 6/6, HIPSrecyclers do not use. This also means we are creating a new market for materials that have persistently been leaking out of the waste management system and PE. into our shared rivers, oceans and natural areas.

We arehave a dedicated team studying the availability of feedstock to ensure each planned facility can operate continuously. The team has already identified the sources required for our first joint venture facility with IVL and is now focused on signing supply agreements to secure this feedstock for the long term.
The team is also currently working onconducting a macro-to-micro analysis in the depolymerizationUnited States, Canada, European Union and Asia to help us evaluate the size and location of nylon, which will enableour next facilities. The approach includes a fulsome inventory of PET materials introduced into a region, the materials collected (or recycled) in the region and the material loss, or the difference between the material introduced and the material collected. This allows us to economically recycle billions of pounds of nylon waste (mostly carpet waste) that is buried in landfills acrossidentify not only the globe.

material traditionally available for recycling, but how material can be effectively diverted from landfill, rivers, oceans and natural areas by providing a new outlet for what was formerly considered waste.

Intellectual Property

We rely on a combination of patent and trademark laws, trade secrets, confidentiality provisions and other contractual provisions to protect our proprietary rights, which are primarily our patents, brand names, product designs and marks.

On February 1, 2016, we received a Notice of Allowance for a U.S.

We have two patent application. (the "Patent"). The Notice of Allowance coversgroups, referred to as GEN I technology and the GEN II technology, with claims relating to the Company'sour proprietary technology for depolymerization of PET. Barring any unforeseen circumstances,
The GEN I portfolio has two issued U.S. patents and a pending U.S. application expected to expire on or around July 2035. Internationally, we also have an issued patent in Taiwan, an allowed application in the Company believesmembers of the Patent shouldGulf Cooperation Council, and pending patent applications in Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Eurasia, Europe, Israel, India, Japan, Korea, Mexico, the Philippines, and South Africa, all expected to expire on or around July 2036 if granted.
The GEN II technology portfolio has an issued U.S. patent and a pending U.S. application expected to expire on or around September 2037; as well as a PCT application and non-PCT applications in Argentina, Bangladesh, Bolivia, Bhutan, members of the Gulf Cooperation Council, Iraq, Pakistan, Taiwan, Uruguay, and Venezuela, all expected to expire on or around September 2037 if granted. Additionally, we have three pending provisional applications directed to additional aspects of the GEN II technology. Any patents that would ultimately grant from these provisional applications would be valid until July 2035, given that the Patent filing occurred in July 2015.

expected to expire no earlier than 2039, if granted.

Government Regulation and Approvals

As we seek to further develop and commercialize our business, we will be subject to extensive and frequently developing federal, state, provincial and local laws and regulations. Compliance with current and future regulations could increase our operational costs.
Our operations require various governmental permits and approvals. We are not awarein the process of obtaining all necessary permits and approvals for the operation of our business; however, any governmental regulationsof these permits or approvals may be subject to denial, revocation or modification under various circumstances. Failure to obtain or comply with the conditions of permits and approvals or to have the necessary approvals in place may adversely affect our operations and may subject us to penalties.
The use of mechanically recycled PET for anyfood grade applications in India is not permitted, and in Japan and China it is highly inadvisable for a variety of reasons including the perception of contamination from mechanically recycled sources. We believe that means that Loop™ PET plastic resin and polyester fiber has a distinct advantage in these markets, which represent nearly three billion people or approximately 38% of the global population. Since our product is not mechanically recycled PET, we expect that demand from PET manufacturers and global consumer goods companies in these regions for 100% Loop™ branded PET plastic resin and polyester fiber will be a significant part of our products.strategy going forward.

Employees
As at May 2, 2019, we have 34 employees, 33 of which are located in Terrebonne, Quebec, Canada and one located in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. We have no collective bargaining agreements with our employees, and we have not experienced any work stoppages. We consider our relations with our employees to be good.
Corporate History
We were originally incorporated in Nevada in March 2010 under the name Radikal Phones Inc., which was changed to First American Group Inc. in October 2010. On June 29, 2015, we completed a reverse acquisition of Loop Holdings, Inc. (“Loop Holdings”) whereby we acquired all of Loop Holdings’ issued and outstanding shares of common stock in a share exchange for approximately 78.1% of the capital stock of our Company at the time. The depolymerization business of Loop Holdings became our sole operating business. On June 22, 2015, our board of directors approved a change in the fiscal year end date from September 30 to the last day of February. On
July 21, 2015, we changed our name to Loop Industries, Inc.
Loop Holdings was originally incorporated in Nevada on October 23, 2014. The depolymerization technology underlying our business was originally developed by Hatem Essaddam who sold the technology and related intellectual property rights to Loop Holdings in October 2014, pursuant to an Intellectual Property Assignment Agreement dated October 27, 2014, by and among Hatem Essaddam, Loop Holdings, and Daniel Solomita. The intellectual property acquired pursuant to such Intellectual Property Agreement formed the basis for establishing the GEN I technology that was initially used by the Company. The GEN I technology has now been superseded by the development of the Company’s GEN II technology, which forms the basis for our commercialization into the future. We do not believe that we are subjectintend to any government regulations relatingcommercialize our GEN I technology.
On May 24, 2016, 9449507 Canada Inc. was organized under the federal laws of Canada and on November 11, 2016 became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Loop Industries, Inc. following the transfer by Mr. Solomita of all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of 9449507 Canada Inc. to Loop Industries, Inc. On December 23, 2016,
9449507 Canada Inc. changed its legal name to Loop Canada Inc.
On December 31, 2016, 8198381 Canada Inc. entered into a purchase and sale agreement to transfer to Loop Canada Inc., all assets and liabilities it held pertaining to our business of depolymerizing plastics, including employees and operations.
On March 9, 2017, Loop Holdings, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the conversionCompany, merged with and into Loop Industries, Inc., with Loop Industries, Inc. being the surviving entity as a result of waste into chemicals.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

As a "smaller reporting company," as defined in Rule 12b-2

You should carefully consider the risks described below together with all of the Exchange Act,other information included in this Form 10-K before making an investment decision with regard to our securities. The statements contained in or incorporated herein that are not historic facts are forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in or implied by forward-looking statements. If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be harmed. In that case, you may lose all or part of your investment.
RISKS RELATING TO OUR COMPANY
We have incurred net losses since inception. We expect to continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future and may never achieve or maintain profitability. We have never generated revenue and may never be profitable.
Since our inception in 2010, we have incurred net losses. Our net loss for the year ended February 28, 2019 was 
$17.5 million. We have four customer agreements signed and we have earned no revenues to date. We have financed our operations primarily through sales of common stock and incurrence of debt and have devoted substantial efforts to research and development, as well as building our team. We expect to continue to incur significant expenses and increasing operating losses for the foreseeable future. The net losses we incur may fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter. Although we believe that our business plan has significant profit potential, we may not attain profitable operations and management may not succeed in realizing our business objectives. Our ability to generate revenue depends on our ability to successfully complete the development of our products, obtain the regulatory approvals necessary to commercialize our products and attract additional customers. We expect to incur operating losses in future periods. These losses will occur as we do not have any revenues to offset the expenses associated with our business operations. We may not generate revenues from product sales for the next several years, if ever. If we are not able to develop our business as anticipated, we may not be able to generate revenues or achieve profitability. We cannot guarantee that we will ever be successful in generating revenues in the future. If we are unable to generate revenues, we will not be able to earn profits or continue operations.
Our limited operating history may make it difficult for you to evaluate the success of our business to date and to assess our future viability.
Our business was started in October 2014 with the incorporation of Loop Holdings, Inc. and 8198381 Canada Inc., and the acquisition of intellectual property from Hatem Essaddam in October 2014. Our operations to date have been primarily limited to organizing and staffing our company, business planning, raising capital and developing our technology. We have not yet demonstrated the ability to manufacture a commercial-scale product or conduct sales and marketing activities necessary for successful commercialization. Consequently, any predictions you make about our future success or viability may not be as accurate as they could be if we had a longer operating history. In addition, as a new business, we may encounter unforeseen expenses, difficulties, complications, delays and other known and unknown factors. We will need to transition from a company with a research focus to a company that is also capable of supporting commercial activities. We may not be successful in such a transition.
There is no history upon which to base any assumption as to the likelihood that we will prove successful, and we can provide investors with no assurance that we will generate any operating revenues or ever achieve profitable operations. If we are unsuccessful in addressing these risks, our business will almost certainly fail.

We may not be able to execute our business plan or stay in business without additional funding.
Our ability to generate future operating revenues depends in part on whether we can obtain the financing necessary to implement our business plan. We will likely require additional financing through the issuance of debt and/or equity in order to establish profitable operations, and such financing may not be forthcoming. If we are unable to attract investors to invest in our business, we may not be able to acquire additional financing through debt or equity markets. Even if additional financing is available, it may not be available on terms favorable to us. Our failure to secure additional financing on favorable terms when it becomes required would have an adverse effect on our ability to remain in business.
Our technology may not be successful in developing commercial products.
We and our potential future collaborators may spend many years and dedicate significant financial and other resources developing our technology that may never be successfully commercialized. Our technology may never become successfully commercialized for any of the following reasons:
we may not be able to secure sufficient funding to progress our technology through development and commercial validation;
we or our future collaborators may be unable to obtain the requisite regulatory approvals for our technology;
competitors may launch competing or more effective technology;
our technology may not be commercially successful;
current and future collaborators may be unable to fully develop and commercialize products containing our technology or may decide, for whatever reason, not to commercialize such products; and
we may be unable to secure adequate patent protection in the necessary jurisdictions.
If any of these things were to occur, it could have a material adverse effect on our business and our results of operations.
If we are unable to successfully scale our manufacturing processes, we may not meet customer demand.
To be successful, we will have to successfully scale our manufacturing processes while maintaining high product quality and reliability. If we cannot maintain high product quality on a large scale, our business will be adversely affected. We may encounter difficulties in scaling up production, including problems with the supply of key components. Even if we are successful in developing our manufacturing capability, we do not know whether we will do so in time to satisfy the requirements of our customers. The current manufacturing facility is a pilot plant with limited production capacity. In order to fully implement our business plan, we will need to move the operations to a larger facility, develop strategic partnerships or find other means to produce greater volumes of finished product.
Decreases in our ability to develop or apply new technology and know-how may affect our competitiveness.
Our success depends partially on our ability to improve production processes and services. We must also introduce new products and services to meet changing customer needs. If we are unable to implement better production processes or to develop new products through research and development or licensing of new technology, we may not be able to remain competitive with other manufacturers. As a result, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be adversely affected.
Disruption at, damage to or destruction of our pilot plant or facilities could impede our ability to continue innovating and refining our technological process, which would harm our business, financial condition and operating results.
Our research and development activities are performed from a single location in Terrebonne, Quebec. Our continued innovation activities rely on an uninterrupted and fully functioning pilot plant. Interruptions in operations at this location could result in our inability to provide the most efficient and effective technological solution to our customers. A number of factors could cause interruptions, including, but not limited to, equipment malfunctions or failures, technology malfunctions, work stoppages or slow-downs, damage to or destruction of the facility or regional power shortages. As our equipment ages, it will need to be replaced. Any disruption that impedes our ability to optimize our process in a timely manner could reduce our revenues and materially harm our business.

The plastics manufacturing industry is extremely price competitive because of the commodity like nature of PET resin and its correlation to the price of crude oil. If our cost to manufacture recycled PET is not competitive with virgin PET or if the price of oil reduces significantly, it may adversely impact our ability to penetrate the market or be profitable.
The demand for recycled PET has fluctuated with the price of crude oil. If crude oil prices decline, the cost to manufacture recycled PET may become comparatively higher than the cost to manufacture virgin PET. Our ability to penetrate the market will depend in part on the cost of manufacturing virgin PET and if we do not successfully distinguish our product from those of virgin PET manufacturers our entry into the market and our ability to secure customer contracts can be adversely affected.
We are vulnerable to fluctuations in the supply and price of raw materials.
We purchase raw materials and packaging supplies from several sources. While all such materials are available from independent suppliers, raw materials are subject to fluctuations in price and availability attributable to a number of factors, including general economic conditions, commodity price fluctuations, the demand by other industries for the same raw materials and the availability of complementary and substitute materials. The profitability of our business also depends on the availability and proximity of these raw materials to our factories. The choice of raw materials to be used at our facility is determined primarily by the price and availability, the yield loss of lower quality raw materials, and the capabilities of the producer’s production facility. Additionally, the high cost of transportation could favor suppliers located in close proximity to our factories. If the quality of these raw materials is lower, the quality of our product may suffer. Economic and financial factors could impact our suppliers, thereby causing supply shortages. Increases in raw material costs could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. Our hedging procedures may be insufficient, and our results could be materially impacted if costs of materials increase.
The loss of the services of Mr. Daniel Solomita, our President and Chief Executive Officer, Chairman of the Board of Directors, and majority stockholder, or our failure to timely identify and retain competent personnel could negatively impact our ability to develop our business.
The development of our business and the marketing of our prospective products will continue to place a significant strain on our limited personnel, management, and other resources. Our future success depends upon the continued services of our executive officers who are developing our business, and on our ability to identify and retain competent consultants and employees with the skills required to execute our business objectives. The loss of the services of Mr. Daniel Solomita or our failure to timely identify and retain competent personnel could negatively impact our ability to develop our business which could adversely affect our financial results and impair our growth.
Our pilot plant continues to be modernized and we have not yet fully implemented all policies, procedures, and controls for the operation of a chemical manufacturing facility as required under various federal, provincial and local regulations and codes.
We are subject to health and safety as well as environmental, zoning and any other regulatory requirements to operate our pilot plant, and as our business evolves, we, directly or indirectly through our partners or other related parties, may be subject to additional government regulations. Any failure to comply with ongoing regulatory requirements, as well as discovery of previously unknown problems, may result in, among other things, costly regulatory inspections, fines or remediation plans. If regulatory issues arise, the value of our business and our operating results may be adversely affected.
Additionally, applicable regulations may change, and additional government regulations may be enacted that could impact our business. We cannot predict the likelihood, nature or extent of government regulation that may arise from future legislation or administrative action, either in the United States or abroad. If we are not able to maintain regulatory compliance, are slow or unable to adopt new requirements or policies, or effect changes to existing requirements, our business may be adversely affected.

Our failure to protect our intellectual property and proprietary technology may significantly impair our competitive advantage.
Our success and ability to compete depends in large part upon protecting our proprietary technology. We rely on a combination of patent, trademark and trade secret protection, confidentiality, nondisclosure and nonuse agreements to protect our proprietary rights. The steps we have taken may not be sufficient to prevent the misappropriation of our intellectual property, particularly in foreign countries where the laws may not protect our proprietary rights as fully as in the United States. The patent and trademark law and trade secret protection may not be adequate to deter third party infringement or misappropriation of our patents, trademarks and similar proprietary rights.
We may face costly intellectual property infringement claims, the result of which would decrease the amount of cash available to operate and complete our business plan.
We anticipate that, from time to time, we will receive communications from third parties asserting that we are infringing certain patents and other intellectual property rights of others or seeking indemnification against alleged infringement. If anticipated claims arise, we will evaluate their merits. Any claims of infringement brought forth by third parties could result in protracted and costly litigation, damages for infringement, and the necessity of obtaining a license relating to one or more of our products or current or future technologies, which may not be available on commercially reasonable terms or at all. Litigation, which could result in substantial costs to us and diversion of our resources, may be necessary to enforce our patents or other intellectual property rights or to defend us against claimed infringement of the rights of others. Any intellectual property litigation and the failure to obtain necessary licenses or other rights could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. 
We rely in part on trade secrets to protect our technology, and our failure to obtain or maintain trade secret protection could harm our business.
We rely on trade secrets to protect some of our technology and proprietary information, calledespecially where we believe patent protection is not appropriate or obtainable. However, trade secrets are difficult to protect. Litigating a claim that a third party had illegally obtained and used our trade secrets would be expensive and time consuming, and the outcome would be unpredictable. Moreover, if our competitors independently develop similar knowledge, methods and know-how, it will be difficult for us to enforce our rights and our business could be harmed.
We have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and if we fail to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting in the future, we may not be able to accurately or timely report our financial condition or results of operations, which may adversely affect investor confidence in us and the price of our common stock.
We are required to evaluate our internal control over financial reporting under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“Section 404”). Section 404 requires us to include an internal control report with our Annual Report on Form 10-K. This report must include management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as at the end of the fiscal year. This report must also include disclosure of any material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting that we have identified. 
We have identified material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting in connection with the audits of Fiscal 2017 and Fiscal 2018. As at February 28, 2017, we identified a material weakness relating primarily to the lack of formalized procedures around financial reporting. In the third quarter of Fiscal 2018, we identified a material weakness relating to the accounting for stock-based compensation, which contributed to the restatement of the previously issued 2017 annual consolidated financial statements and of our first and second quarter consolidated financial statements for fiscal 2018.
We have taken steps to remediate the issues that contributed to the material weaknesses and while we believe that these efforts have improved our internal control over financial reporting, see Item 9A. “Controls and Procedures,” there can be no assurance that the adjustments will ensure that we identify or avoid a material weakness in the future. Further, we may not be able to remediate a future material weakness in a timely manner and our management may be required to devote significant time and expense to remediate any such material weakness.

The process of designing and implementing internal control over financial reporting required to comply with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act is time consuming, costly and complicated. If during the evaluation and testing process, we identify one or more other material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting or determine that existing material weaknesses have not been remediated, our management will be unable to assert that our internal control over financial reporting is effective. Even if our management concludes that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, our independent registered public accounting firm may conclude that there are material weaknesses with respect to our internal controls or the level at which our internal controls are documented, designed, implemented or reviewed. If we are unable to assert that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, or when required in the future, if our independent registered public accounting firm is unable to express an opinion as to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, investors may lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, the market price of our common stock could be adversely affected and we could become subject to litigation or investigations by the stock exchange on which our securities are listed, the SEC or other regulatory authorities, which could require additional financial and management resources.
We are subject to risks associated with currency fluctuations, and changes in foreign currency exchange rates could impact our results of operations.
We operate mainly through two entities, Loop Industries, Inc., which is a Nevada corporation and has a U.S. dollar functional currency, and our wholly-owned subsidiary, Loop Canada Inc. (“Loop Canada”), which is based in Terrebonne, Québec, Canada and has a Canadian dollar functional currency. Our reporting currency is the U.S. dollar.
We mainly finance our operations through the sale and issuance of shares of common stock of Loop Industries, Inc. in U.S. dollars while our operations are concentrated in our wholly-owned subsidiary, Loop Canada. Accordingly, we are exposed to foreign exchange risk as we maintain bank accounts in U.S. dollars and a significant portion of our operational costs (including payroll, site costs, costs of locally sourced supplies and income taxes) are denominated in Canadian dollars.
Significant fluctuations in U.S. dollar to Canadian dollar exchange rates could materially affect our result of operations, cash position and funding requirements. To the extent that fluctuations in currency exchange rates cause our results of operations to differ materially from our expectations or the expectations of our investors, the trading price of our common stock could be adversely affected.
From time to time, we may engage in exchange rate hedging activities in an effort to mitigate the impact of exchange rate fluctuations. As part of our risk management program, we may enter into foreign exchange forward contracts to lock in the exchange rates for future foreign currency transactions, which is intended to reduce the variability of our operating costs and future cash flows denominated in currencies that differs from our functional currencies. We do not enter into these contracts for trading purposes or speculation, and our management believes all such contracts are entered into as hedges of underlying transactions. Nonetheless, these instruments involve costs and have risks of their own in the form of transaction costs, credit requirements and counterparty risk. If our hedging program is not successful, or if we change our hedging activities in the future, we may experience significant unexpected expenses from fluctuations in exchange rates. Any hedging technique we implement may fail to be effective. If our hedging activities are not effective, changes in currency exchange rates may have a more significant impact on the trading price of our common stock.
We are subject to certain risks related to litigation filed by or against us, and adverse results may harm our business.
We cannot predict with certainty the cost of defense, of prosecution or of the ultimate outcome of litigation and other proceedings filed by or against us, including penalties or other civil or criminal sanctions, or remedies or damage awards, and adverse results in any litigation and other proceedings may materially harm our business. Litigation and other proceedings may include, but are not limited to, actions relating to intellectual property, international trade, commercial arrangements, product liability, environmental, health and safety, joint venture agreements, labor and employment or other harms resulting from the actions of individuals or entities outside of our control. In the case of intellectual property litigation and proceedings, adverse outcomes could include the cancellation, invalidation or other loss of material intellectual property rights used in our business and injunctions prohibiting our use of business processes or technology that are subject to third-party patents or other third-party intellectual property rights.

RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH OUR SECURITIES
The issuance of common stock upon conversion of our November 2018 Convertible Notes and our January 2019 Convertible Notes, and specifically the floating conversion price feature of our November 2018 Convertible Notes, could require us to issue a substantially greater number of shares, which may adversely affect the market price of our common stock and cause dilution to our existing stockholders.
Our November 2018 Convertible Notes and our January 2019 Convertible Notes are convertible into shares of our common stock under certain circumstances as described under “Recent Developments” herein. Upon conversion of the November 2018 Convertible Notes and the January 2019 Convertible Notes, in accordance with their terms, we will be required to deliver shares of our common stock to their holders. Our stockholders will experience dilution in their ownership percentage of common stock upon our issuance of common stock in connection with the conversion of the November 2018 Convertible Notes and the January 2019 Convertible Notes. Because the number of shares we will be required to issue upon conversion of the November 2018 Convertible Notes is subject to a floating conversion price that is not subject to a floor, the number of shares issuable could prove to be significantly greater in the event of a decrease in the trading price of our common stock, which decrease could cause substantial dilution to our existing stockholders. Any such issuances of common stock will result in immediate dilution to the interests of other stockholders. Further, any sales in the public market of any shares of common stock issued upon conversion or hedging or arbitrage trading activity that develops due to the potential conversion of the November 2018 Convertible Notes or of the January 2019 Convertible Notes could adversely affect prevailing market prices of our common stock.
Raising additional funds may cause dilution to our existing stockholders, restrict our operations or require us to relinquish rights to our technologies.
If we raise additional funds through equity offerings or offerings of equity-linked securities, including warrants or convertible debt securities, our existing stockholders may experience significant dilution, and the terms of such securities may include liquidation or other preferences that may adversely affect the rights of our stockholders. Debt financings, if available, may subject us to restrictive covenants that could limit our flexibility in conducting future business activities, including covenants limiting or restricting our ability to incur additional debt, dispose of assets or incur capital expenditures. We may also incur ongoing interest expense and be required to grant a security interest in our assets in connection with any debt issuance. If we raise additional funds through strategic partnerships or licensing agreements with third parties, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies or grant licenses on terms that are not favorable to us.
Trading volume in our stock can fluctuate and an active trading market for our common stock may not be available on a consistent basis to provide stockholders with adequate liquidity. Our stock price may be volatile, and our stockholders could incur significant investment losses.
The trading price for our common stock will be affected by a number of factors, including:
any change in the status of our Nasdaq listing;
the need for near-term financing to continue operations;
reported progress in our efforts to develop and commercialize our technology, relative to investor expectations;
general market conditions and other factors unrelated to our operating performance or the operating performance of our competitors;
future issuances and/or sales of our securities;
announcements or the absence of announcements by us, or our competitors, regarding collaborations, new products, significant contracts, commercial relationships or capital commitments;
commencement of, or involvement in, litigation;
any major change in our board of directors or management;
changes in governmental regulations or in the status of our regulatory approvals;
announcements related to patents issued to us or our competitors and to litigation involving our intellectual property;
a lack of, or limited, or negative industry or security analyst coverage;
uncertainty regarding our ability to secure additional cash resources with which to operate our business;
short-selling or similar activities by third parties; and
other factors described elsewhere in these Risk Factors.

As a result of these factors, our stockholders may not be able to resell their shares at, or above, their purchase price. In addition, the stock prices of many technology companies have experienced wide fluctuations that have often been unrelated to the operating performance of those companies. Any negative change in the public’s perception of the prospects of companies in our industry could depress our stock price regardless of our results of operations. These factors may have a material adverse effect on the market price and liquidity of our common stock and affect our ability to obtain required financing.
Our President and Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors, Mr. Daniel Solomita, beneficially owns a majority of our capital stock, and accordingly, has control over stockholder matters, our business and management.
As at May 2, 2019, Mr. Daniel Solomita, our President and Chief Executive Officer, Chairman of the Board of Directors, and majority stockholder, beneficially owns 18,600,000 shares of common stock, or 53.3% of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock and also holds one share of Series A Preferred Stock. The one share of Series A Preferred Stock issued to Mr. Solomita holds a majority of the total voting power so long as Mr. Solomita holds not less than 7.5% of the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock, assuring that Mr. Solomita retains control even if his presently-held 53.3% of the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock is diluted to a level below a majority.
Additionally, the one share of Series A Preferred Stock issued to Mr. Solomita contains protective provisions, which precludes us from taking certain actions without Mr. Solomita’s (or that of any person to whom the one share of Series A Preferred Stock is transferred) approval. More specifically, so long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding, we are not permitted to take certain actions without first obtaining the approval (by vote or written consent, as provided by law) of the holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, voting as a separate class, including for example and without limitation, amending our articles of incorporation, changing or modifying the rights of the Series A Preferred Stock, including increasing or decreasing the number of authorized shares of Series A Preferred Stock, increasing or decreasing the size of the board of directors or remove the director appointed by the holders of our Series A Preferred Stock and declaring or paying any dividend or other distribution.
Moreover, because of the significant ownership position held by our insiders, new investors may not be able to effect a change in our business or management, and therefore, stockholders would have no recourse as a result of decisions made by management.
In addition, sales of significant amounts of shares held by Mr. Solomita, or the prospect of these sales, could adversely affect the market price of our common stock. Management’s stock ownership may discourage a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us, which in turn could reduce our stock price or prevent our stockholders from realizing a premium over our stock price.
Anti-takeover effects of certain provisions of Nevada state law hinder a potential takeover of our company.
Though not now, we may in the future become subject to Nevada’s control share law. A corporation is subject to Nevada’s control share law if it has more than 200 stockholders, at least 100 of whom are stockholders of record and residents of Nevada, and it does business in Nevada or through an affiliated corporation. The law focuses on the acquisition of a “controlling interest” which means the ownership of outstanding voting shares sufficient, but for the control share law, to enable the acquiring person to exercise the following proportions of the voting power of the company in the election of directors: (i) one-fifth or more but less than one-third, (ii) one-third or more but less than a majority, or (iii) a majority or more. The ability to exercise such voting power may be direct or indirect, as well as individual or in association with others.
The effect of the control share law is that the acquiring person, and those acting in association with it, obtains only such voting rights in the control shares as are conferred by a resolution of the stockholders of the Company, approved at a special or annual meeting of stockholders. The control share law contemplates that voting rights will be considered only once by the other stockholders. Thus, there is no authority to strip voting rights from the control shares of an acquiring person once those rights have been approved. If the stockholders do not grant voting rights to the control shares acquired by an acquiring person, those shares do not become permanent non-voting shares. The acquiring person is free to sell its shares to others. If the buyers of those shares themselves do not acquire a controlling interest, their shares do not become governed by the control share law.

If control shares are accorded full voting rights and the acquiring person has acquired control shares with a majority or more of the voting power, any stockholder of record, other than an acquiring person, who has not voted in favor of approval of voting rights, is entitled to demand fair value for such stockholder’s shares.
In addition to the control share law, Nevada has a business combination law which prohibits certain business combinations between Nevada corporations and “interested stockholders” for three years after the “interested stockholder” first becomes an “interested stockholder,” unless the company’s board of directors approves the combination in advance. For purposes of Nevada law, an “interested stockholder” is any person who is (i) the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of ten percent or more of the voting power of the outstanding voting shares of the company, or (ii) an affiliate or associate of the company and at any time within the two previous years was the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of ten percent or more of the voting power of the then outstanding shares of the company. The definition of the term “combination” is sufficiently broad to cover virtually any kind of transaction that would allow a potential acquirer to use the company’s assets to finance the acquisition or otherwise to benefit its own interests rather than the interests of the company and its other stockholders.
The effect of Nevada’s business combination law is to potentially discourage parties interested in taking control of us from doing so if it cannot obtain the approval of our board of directors.  
Because we do not intend to pay any cash dividends on our common stock, our stockholders will not be able to receive a return on their shares unless they sell them.
We intend to retain any future earnings to finance the development and expansion of our business. We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. Unless we pay dividends, our stockholders will not be able to receive a return on their shares unless they sell them. Stockholders may not be able to sell shares when desired. Before you invest in our securities, you should be aware that there are various risks. You should consider carefully these risk factors, together with all of the other information included in this Item.

annual report before you decide to purchase our securities. If any of the following risks and uncertainties develop into actual events, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

The recently passed comprehensive tax reform bill could adversely affect our business and financial results.
On December 22, 2017, President Trump signed into law the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“TCJA”) that significantly reforms the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The TCJA, among other things, includes changes to U.S. federal tax rates, imposes significant additional limitations on the deductibility of interest and net operating loss carryforwards, allows for the expensing of capital expenditures, and puts into effect the migration from a "worldwide" system of taxation to a territorial system. The impact of enactment of U.S. tax reform was recorded on a provisional basis as the legislation provides for additional guidance to be issued by the U.S. Treasury Department on several provisions including the computation of the transition tax. We continue to examine the impact this tax reform legislation may have on our business and we urge our stockholders to consult with their legal and tax advisors with respect to such legislation and the potential tax consequences of investing in our common stock.

ITEMITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On January 27, 2017, two individuals (“Plaintiffs”), filed a claim against us in the Los Angeles Superior Court (“Court”), seeking damages for breach of implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, breach of contract, and promissory fraud, asserting entitlement to shares of our common stock. On February 25, 2019, we and the Plaintiffs entered into a settlement agreement and release (“Settlement Agreement”), which sets forth the parties’ agreement in principle for settlement. Through the Settlement Agreement, we, Plaintiffs and certain other parties to the Settlement Agreement agreed to mutual releases of any and all claims.
Pursuant to the terms of the Settlement Agreement, without agreeing that any of the Plaintiffs’ claims have merit, we agreed to issue to the Plaintiffs 150,000 shares of our common stock (“Plaintiff Common Shares”) and 500,000 warrants exercisable for shares of our common stock (“Plaintiff Warrants”). The Plaintiff Common Shares will be restricted upon issuance, but within 180 days following the date of the Settlement Agreement, we have agreed to file and use its reasonable best efforts to have declared effective a registration statement to register the Plaintiff Common Shares and the shares of the Company’s common stock underlying the Plaintiff Warrants. We also agreed to maintain such registration statement for 2 years from the date of effectiveness unless the Plaintiffs sell or otherwise transfer the shares covered by such registration statement prior to the two-year anniversary. 300,000 of the Plaintiff Warrants are exercisable for shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $12.00 per share for a period of 24 months following the date of the Settlement Agreement. The remaining 200,000 Plaintiff Warrants are exercisable for shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $11.00 per share for a period of 24 months, but in the event the Company’s 5-day average trading price during any period in the first 18 months following the date of the Settlement Agreement is above $11 per share, then the exercise term of such warrants shall automatically be reduced to 18 months instead of 24 months.

Except as noted above, we are not currently involved inpresently a party to any legal proceedings, government actions, administrative actions, investigations or claims that are pending against us or involve us that, in the opinion of our management, could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results.

Introduction
Recent Developments

Reverse Acquisition of Loop Holdings

On June 29, 2015, we completed a reverse acquisition transaction through a share exchange with Loop Holdings whereby we acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Loop Holdings in exchange for 23,257,500 shares of our common stock.

Under the terms and conditions of the Share Exchange Agreement, First American Group issued 23,257,500 shares of its common stock for the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding shares of Loop Holdings. The number of common shares issued represented approximately 78.1% of the issued and outstanding common stock immediately after the consummation of the Share Exchange Agreement and Stock Redemption Agreements. The board of directors and the members of the management of First American Group resigned and the board of directors and the member of the management of Loop Holdings became the board of directors and the member of the management of the combined entities upon consummation of the Share Exchange Agreement.

As a result of the controlling financial interest of the former stockholders of Loop Holdings, Inc., for financial statement reporting purposes, the merger between First American Group and Loop Holdings was treated as a reverse acquisition, with Loop Holdings deemed the accounting acquirer and First American Group deemed the accounting acquiree under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with the Section 805-10-55 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The reverse acquisition is deemed a capital transaction in substance whereas the assets and liabilities of Loop Holdings, Inc. (the accounting acquirer) are carried forward to First American Group (the legal acquirer and the reporting entity) at their carrying value before the combination and the equity structure (the number and type of equity interests issued) of Loop Holdings,Industries, Inc. is being retroactively restated usingan innovative technology company focused on sustainability. Our mission is to accelerate the exchange ratio established in the Share Exchange Agreementworld’s shift toward sustainable plastic and Stock Redemption Agreementsaway from its dependence on fossil fuels. Loop’s patented and proprietary technology decouples plastic from fossil fuels by depolymerizing waste polyester plastic and fiber to reflect the number of shares of First American Group issued to effect the acquisition. The number of common shares issued and outstanding and the amount recognized as issued equity interests in the consolidated financial statements is determined by adding the number of common shares deemed issued and the issued equity interests of Loop Holdings, Inc. immediately prior to the business combination to the unredeemed shares and the fair valueof First American Group determined in accordance with the guidance in ASC Section 805-40-55 applicable to business combinations, i.e. the equity structure (the number and type of equity interests issued) in the consolidated financial statements immediately post combination reflects the equity structure of First American Group, including the equity interests the legal acquirer issued to effect the combination.

Loop Holdings was incorporated on October 23, 2014, in Nevada. We are a development company and have never generated any revenues. The commercialization of our depolymerization technology is in its incipient stages and must be scaled-up before we can commercialize the technology and generate any revenues. The depolymerization technology underlying the business of Loop Holdings was originally developed by Hatem Essaddam, who sold the depolymerization technology to Loop Holdings for a purchase price of up to $445,050 and contingent consideration consistent in up to CDN$800,000 pursuant to an Intellectual Property Assignment Agreement dated October 27, 2014, by and among Hatem Essadam, Loop Holdings, and Daniel Solomita, our President and Chief Executive Officer, Secretary, Treasurer and Chairman of the Board of Directors.

Our depolymerization of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) process is completed through a series of chemical reactions is completed at room temperature and under normal atmospheric pressure.base building blocks (monomers). The resulting monomers of the depolymerization is purified terephthalic acid and ethylene glycol.

Our depolymerization process is summarized as follows:

·

PET bottles are shredded into 5 mm size pieces;

·

Shredded PET is put into a large reactor, where certain chemicals are added;

·

The PET molecular chain begins to be broken down in 20 minutes;

·

Purified terephthalic acid (solid) and ethylene glycol (liquid) and mother liquor are separated using a combination of centrifugation and distillation;

·

The mother liquor is returned to the reactor to be reused in the process; and

·

Purified terephthalic acid and Ethylene Glycol are processed and packaged.

PLAN OF OPERATION

We have not yet generated or realized any revenues from our business. We are aiming to become an environmentally friendly manufacturer of purified terephthalic acid (PTA) and mono ethelyne glycol (MEG), these high purity specialty chemicals are mainly used in the production of Polyethylene terephthalate. We have completed the construction of our pilot plant facility which is capable of producing 5000 lbs. per day of high purity PTA and MEG, we are currently doing qualification testing of the resulting resin with potential costumers. We are currently refining our process to ensure an easy transition from pilot scale to full scale commercial manufacturing facility. We anticipate that this facility will have the initial capacity to process approximately 36,000,000 lbs. ofthen polymerized into virgin-quality PET plastic per year. Estimated coststhat meets FDA requirements for use in food-grade plastic packaging, such as water and soda bottles, and polyester fiber for textile applications.

Loop’s technology allows for low value and no value waste PET plastic and polyester fibers such as carpets and clothing to be upcycled into high value PET/polyester packaging for consumer goods companies. The Company’s zero energy depolymerization technology specifically targets PET/polyester, allowing for the removal of all waste impurities, such as colors/dyes, labels and non-PET plastic waste. The Company believes this facilityprovides it with an innovative technology to help achieve our mission.
Loop’s technology uses waste PET plastics such as water bottles, soda bottles, consumer packaging, carpets, polyester textiles and industrial waste as feedstock to process. These feedstocks are approximately $15 million dollars.

Resultsavailable through municipal triage centers, industrial recycling and landfill reclamation projects.

Plan of Operations

Operation

ForDuring the year ended February 29, 201628, 2019, we continued executing our corporate strategy where Loop focused on developing three major streams of revenue. These revenue streams are expected to be from the sale of Loop™ PET plastic resin and polyester fiber to customers from our joint venture with Indorama Ventures Limited (“IVL”), license fees from our Waste-to-Resin (“WtR™”) facilities and development fees from the sale and construction of WtR™ facilities around the world. In September of 2018, in connection with the first of these streams, we announced a joint venture with IVL to manufacture and commercialize sustainable Loop™ branded PET plastic resin and polyester fiber to meet the growing global demand from beverage and consumer packaged goods companies. The 50/50 joint venture has an exclusive world-wide license to use our technology to retrofit existing IVL facilities, so each can produce 100% sustainable Loop™ PET plastic resin and polyester fiber. The first facility, in Spartanburg, South Carolina, is anticipated to begin commercial production in the second half of the calendar year 2020 and is expected to produce 20,700 metric tonnes of sustainable Loop™ PET plastic resin and is fully subscribed by leading global consumer brands. As part of the joint venture agreement to establish the facility to produce 20,700 metric tonnes, the Company is committed to contribute its equity share of the costs under the joint venture agreement to construct the facility. As at May 2, 2019, the Company has contributed $500,000 to the joint venture. Also, due to increasing market demand from existing and potential customers, as well as the positive work on the preliminary engineering work conducted at the facility, the joint venture is evaluating options to increase the capacity at the plant to 40,000 metric tonnes and anticipates a decision to be made by the second quarter of the fiscal year 2020. This would entail increasing the Company’s equity contribution.
The Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Loop Innovations, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, entered into a Joint Venture Agreement (the “Agreement”), as stated above, with Indorama Ventures Holdings LP, USA, an indirect subsidiary of Indorama Ventures Public Company Limited, to manufacture and commercialize sustainable polyester resin to meet the growing global demand from beverage and consumer packaged goods companies. Each company will have 50/50 equity interest in Loop Indorama Technologies, LLC (“ILT”), which was specifically formed to operate and execute the joint venture.

This partnership brings together Indorama Venture’s manufacturing footprint and Loop’s proprietary science and technology to become a supplier in the ‘circular’ economy for 100% sustainable and recycled PET resin and polyester fiber. 
The Company is contributing to the 50/50 joint venture an exclusive world-wide royalty-free license to use its proprietary technology to produce 100% sustainably produced PET resin and polyester fiber.
The Company expects to record its first commercial revenues from the joint venture in the second half of the calendar year 2020.
We believe the proposition for those seeking a turnkey solution to manufacture Loop™ PET plastic resin and polyester fiber, such as chemical companies, waste managers, existing recyclers and consumer good companies around the world is compelling. We further believe this will create a recurring licensing revenue stream for us while expanding the capacity of Loop™ PET plastic resin and polyester fiber in the marketplace to meet the substantial demand from consumer goods companies.
Consumer brands are seeking a solution to their plastic challenge, and they are taking bold action. In the past year we have seen major brands make significant commitments to close the loop on their plastic packaging in two ways, by transitioning their packaging to recyclable materials and by incorporating more recycled content into their packaging. We believe Loop™ PET plastic resin and polyester fiber provides the ideal solution for these brands because Loop™ PET plastic resin and polyester fiber contains 100% recycled PET and polyester fiber content. The Loop™ PET plastic resin and polyester fiber is virgin quality suitable for use in food-grade packaging. That means consumer packaged goods companies can now market packaging made from a 100% Loop™ branded PET plastic resin and polyester fiber. As a result, in fiscal 2019 we delivered a significant number of announcements regarding our partnership / engagement with some of the world’s leading brands.
We plan to continue to allocate available capital to strengthen our intellectual property portfolio, build a core competency in managing strategic relationships and continue enhancing our Loop brand value. Our research and development innovation hub in Terrebonne, Quebec, Canada will continue optimizing our current technology as well as innovate into new areas of sustainability. We are investing in building a strong management team to integrate best in class processes and practices while maintaining our entrepreneurial culture.

Fourth Quarter Ended February 28, 2019
The net loss for the three-month period ended February 28, 2019 increased $3.9 million to $7.5 million, as compared to the net loss for the three-month period ended February 28, 2018 which was $3.6 million.  The increase is primarily due to increased general and administrative expenses of $4.0 million, an increase in depreciation and amortization and impairment of intangible assets of $0.3 million, an increase in interest and other finance costs of $0.4 million, offset by lower research and development expenses of $0.8 million.
Research and development expenses for the three-month period ended February 28, 2019 amounted to $0.5 million compared to $1.4 million for the three-month period ended February 28, 2018, representing a decrease of $0.8 million, or $0.6 million excluding stock-based compensation. The decrease of $0.6 million was primarily attributable to lower employee related expenses of $0.1 million, lower professional fees of $0.2 million and by lower spending for purchases and consumables of $0.3 million. The decrease in non-cash stock-based compensation expense of $0.2 million is mainly attributable to the termination of an individual whose vesting of stock options ceased upon termination.
General and administrative expenses for the three-month period ended February 28, 2019 amounted to $6.1 million compared to $2.2 million for the three-month period ended February 28, 2018, representing an increase of $4.0 million, or $0.1 million excluding stock-based compensation and the legal settlement. The increase of $4.0 million was primarily due to the legal settlement expense which amounted to $4.0 million compared to nil for the three-month period from October 23, 2014 (Inception) toended February 28, 2015

We recorded no revenues2018. Other variances were attributable to higher employee related expenses of $0.4 million associated with an increased number of employees, offset by lower legal, accounting and other professional fees of $0.1 million and by lower other general operating expenses of $0.2 million.

The decrease was mainly attributable the timing of certain stock awards provided to executives.

Depreciation and amortization for the three-month period ended February 28, 2019 totaled $0.14 million compared to $0.09 million for the three-month period ended February 28, 2018, representing an increase of $0.05 million. The increase is mainly attributable to an increase in the amount of fixed assets held at the Company’s pilot plant and corporate offices. Impairment of intangible assets for the three-month period ended February 28, 2019 totaled $0.3 million compared to nil for the three-month period ended February 28, 2018, representing an increase of $0.3 million. The increase is entirely attributable to the write-off of the remaining intangible asset balance of the GEN I technology of $0.3 million.
Interest and other finance costs for the year three-month period ended February 28, 2019 totaled $0.4 million compared to a negligible amount for the three-month period ended February 28, 2018, representing an increase of $0.4 million.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 Loop is a development stage company with no revenues, and our ongoing operations includingare being financed by raising new equity and debt capital. To date, we have been successful in raising capital to finance our ongoing operations, reflecting the potential for commercializing our branded resin and the progress made to date in implementing our business plans. As at February 28, 2019, we had cash on hand of $5.8 million. Subsequent to the year end, on March 1, 2019, we completed a registered direct offering for net proceeds of approximately $4.2 million.
Management continues to be positive about our growth strategy and is evaluating our financing plans to continue to raise capital to finance the start-up of a pilot plant in Montrealcommercial operations and continue to fund the acquisitionfurther development of approximately $1.5 Million of machinery and equipment during 2016.

Going Concern; Need for Additional Capital

our ongoing operations.

As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, included elsewhere in this Form 10K, the Company has no recurring sourcewe are a development stage company, we have not yet begun commercial operations and we do not have any sources of revenue and duringrevenue. During the year ended February 29, 2016, the Company28, 2019, we incurred a net loss of $2.8 Million and$17.5 million, used $1.1 Million cash in operations. Theseoperations of $7.6 million and had an accumulated deficit as at February 28, 2019 of $38,811,592, all of these factors raise substantial doubt about the Company'sour ability to continue as a going concern.  There can be no assurance that any future financing will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to us.
As at February 28, 2019, we have a long-term debt obligation to a Canadian bank in connection with the purchase, in Fiscal 2018, of the land and building where our pilot plant and corporate offices are located at 480 Fernand-Poitras, Terrebonne, Québec, Canada J6Y 1Y4. On January 24, 2018, the Company obtained a CDN$1,400,000 20-year term instalment loan (the “Loan”), from a Canadian bank. The abilityLoan bears interest at the bank’s Canadian prime rate plus 1.5%. By agreement, the Loan is repayable in monthly payments of CDN $5,833 plus interest, until January 2021, at which time it will be subject to renewal. It includes an option allowing for the prepayment of the Loan without penalty.

OUTLOOK
In connection with the upcoming fiscal year ending February 28, 2020, we intend to continue as a going concern. Our auditor's report regardingto execute our February 29, 2016, financial statements expresses an opinion that substantial doubt exists as to whethercorporate strategy. We believe we can continue as an ongoing business

There is no sufficient historical financial information about the Company upon which to base an evaluationmust execute on several areas of our performance. We have not generated any revenues from our business. We cannot guarantee we will be successful in our business plans. Our business is subject to risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise, including limited capital resources, possible delays in our research and/or development, and possible cost overruns due to price and cost increases in services.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
As at February 28, 2019, we are successful in completing equity financing, existing shareholders will experience dilution of their interest in our Company. We dodid not have any financing arrangedoff-balance sheet arrangements as defined in the rules and regulations of the SEC.
As at February 28, 2019, we cannot provide investorsdid not have any significant lease obligations to third parties.
As at February 28, 2019, we have a long-term debt obligation to a Canadian bank in connection with any assurance that wethe purchase, in Fiscal 2018, of the land and building where our pilot plant and corporate offices are located at 480 Fernand-Poitras, Terrebonne, Québec, Canada J6Y 1Y4. On January 24, 2018, the Company obtained a CDN$1,400,000 20-year term instalment loan (the “Loan”), from a Canadian bank. The Loan bears interest at the bank’s Canadian prime rate plus 1.5%. By agreement, the Loan is repayable in monthly payments of CDN $5,833 plus interest, until January 2021, at which time it will be able to raise sufficient funding fromsubject be renewal. It includes an option allowing for the sale of our common stock to fund our next 12-month plan of operation and ongoing operational expenses. In the absence of such financing, our business will likely fail. There are no assurances that we will be able to achieve further sales of our common stock or any other form of additional financing.

Critical Accounting Policies

Stock Based Compensation

The Company periodically issues stock options and warrants to employees and non-employees in non-capital raising transactions for services and for financing costs. The Company accounts for stock option and warrant grants issued and vesting to employees based on the authoritative guidance provided by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) whereas the valueprepayment of the award is measured onLoan without penalty.


CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use of Estimates
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 and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as at the date of grant and recognized as compensation expense on the straight-line basis over the vesting period. The Company accounts for stock option and warrant grants issued and vesting to non-employees in accordance with the authoritative guidance of the FASB whereas the value of the stock compensation is based upon the measurement date as determined at either a) the date at which a performance commitment is reached, or b) at the date at which the necessary performance to earn the equity instruments is complete. Options granted to non-employees are revalued each reporting period to determine the amount to be recorded as an expense in the respective period. As the options vest, they are valued on each vesting date and an adjustment is recorded for the difference between the value already recordedfinancial statements and the then current value onreported amounts of expenses during the datereporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Those estimates and assumptions include estimates for depreciable lives of vesting. In certain circumstances where there are no future performance requirements byproperty, plant and equipment, intangible assets, analysis of impairments of recorded intangible assets, accruals for potential liabilities and assumptions made in calculating the non-employee, option grants are immediately vested and the total stock-based compensation charge is recorded in the period of the measurement date.

Intangible assets
Intangible assets are recorded at cost and are amortized over their estimated useful lives, unless the useful life is indefinite, using the Black-Scholes-Merton Option Pricing model, which uses certain assumptions related to risk-free interest rates, expected volatility, expected life of the stock options or warrants, and future dividends. Compensation expense is recorded based upon the value derived from the Black-Scholes-Merton Option Pricing model, and based on actual experience. The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes-Merton Option Pricing model could materially affect compensation expense recorded in future periods.

Intangible Assets

Management performs impairment tests of indefinite-lived intangible assets at least annually, or whenever an event occurs or circumstances change that indicate impairment has more likely than not occurred.

straight-line method over 7 years.

The Company reviews intangible assets subject to amortization at least annually to determine if any adverse conditions exist or a change in circumstances has occurred that would indicate impairment or a change in the remaining useful life. If the carrying value of an asset exceeds its undiscounted cash flows, the Company writes down the carrying value of the intangible asset to its fair value in the period identified. If the carrying value of assets is determined not to be recoverable, the Company records an impairment loss equal to the excess of the carrying value over the fair value of the assets. The Company'sCompany’s estimate of fair value is based on the best information available, in the absence of quoted market prices. The Company generally calculates fair value as the present value of estimated future cash flows that the Company expects to generate from the asset using a discountedan undiscounted cash flow income approach as described above. If the estimate of an intangible asset'sasset’s remaining useful life is changed, the Company amortizes the remaining carrying value of the intangible asset prospectively over the revised remaining useful life.

Stock-Based Compensation
We periodically issue stock options to employees and non-employees in non-capital raising transactions for services and financing costs. We account for stock options granted to employees based on the authoritative guidance provided by the Financial Accounting Pronouncements

Please refer to footnote 2Standards Board (“FASB”) wherein the fair value of the award is measured on the grant date and where there are not performance conditions, recognized as compensation expense on the straight-line basis over the vesting period and where performance conditions exist, recognize compensation expense when it becomes probable that the performance condition has been met.

We account for stock options granted to non-employees in accordance with the authoritative guidance of the FASB wherein the fair value of the stock-based compensation is based upon the measurement date determined as the earlier of the date at which either a) a commitment is reached with the counterparty for performance or b) the counterparty completes its performance.
The fair value of our stock option grants is determined using the Black-Scholes-Merton Option Pricing model, which uses certain assumptions related to risk-free interest rates, expected volatility, expected life of the warrants, and future dividends. Compensation expense is recorded based upon the value derived from the Black-Scholes-Merton Option Pricing model and based on actual experience. The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes-Merton Option Pricing model could materially affect compensation expense recorded in future periods.

Convertible notes
Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity Instruments Issued
The Company applies the guidance in ASC Topic 480 to determine the classification of financial instruments issued. The Company first determines if the instruments should be classified as liabilities under this guidance based on the redemption features, if mandatorily redeemable or not, and the method of redemption, if in cash, a variable number of shares or a fixed number of shares.
If the terms proved that an instrument is mandatorily redeemable in cash, or the holder can compel a settlement in cash, or will be settled in a variable number of shares predominantly based on a fixed monetary amount, the instrument is generally classified as a liability. Instruments that are settled by issuing a fixed number of shares are generally classified as equity instruments.
In some cases, the instruments issued contain settlement features that differ depending upon the prevailing price of the Company’s shares at the date of settlement. Depending on the share price, the instrument will be settled either in a manner consistent with ASC Topic 480 liability treatment, by issuing a variable number of shares based on a fixed monetary amount, or in a manner consistent with ASC Topic 480 treatment for an equity instrument, by issuing a fixed number of shares if the share price is above or below certain levels. In these cases, the Company assesses the likelihood of the various possible settlement outcomes at the inception of the instrument. The classification of the instrument is based on the outcome that is more likely than not to occur. Factors that the Company considers in evaluating the likelihood of the outcomes include:
The terms of the instrument, including its maturity date and the formula for adjustments to the range;
The volatility of the Company’s stock;
The relationship between the price of the Company’s stock on the inception date and fixed prices or ranges the low and high end of the original range; and
Historical and expected dividend levels.
When warrants or similar instruments are issued, the Company applies the guidance in ASC Topic 815 to determine if the warrants should be classified as equity instruments or as derivative instruments. Generally, warrants that are both indexed to the Company’s own stock and that would be classified as equity instruments are not classified as derivative instruments under this guidance. A key element to consider in determining if a warrant would be considered indexed to the Company’s own stock is if the warrants settlement amount is equal to the difference between the fair value of a fixed number of equity shares and a fixed monetary amount. This criterion is sometimes known as the “fixed-for fixed” criteria. In cases where the fixed for fixed criteria are not met, the warrants are classified as derivative instruments.
Convertible liabilities are also assessed to determine if they contain a beneficial conversion feature. A beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) of a convertible note is normally characterized as the convertible portion feature that provides a rate of conversion that is below market value or “in-the-money” when issued. A BCF related to the issuance of a convertible note is recorded as equity at its intrinsic value at the issue date.
Initial measurement
Instruments are initially measured at fair value. If multiple instruments are issued together, the aggregate proceeds are allocated first to derivative instruments or any instrument that will be subsequently accounted for at fair value and the remainder is to the allocated to the various instruments based on their relative fair value.
Subsequent measurement
Instruments initially classified as liabilities are subsequently measured at the present value of the amount to be paid, either in cash or by issuing a variable number of shares based on a fixed monetary amount, and at settlement, accruing interest cost using the rate implicit at inception.
Derivative instruments are recorded at fair value at each reporting period and the variations in fair value are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
Deferred financing costs and other transaction costs
Deferred financing costs represent commitment fees, legal fees and other costs associated with obtaining commitments for financing. These fees are amortized as a component of interest expense over the terms of the respective financing agreements, including convertible notes, on a straight-line basis. Unamortized deferred financing fees are expensed in full when the associated debt is refinanced or repaid before maturity. Costs incurred in seeking financial transactions that do not close are expensed in the period in which it is determined that the financing will not be successful. Deferred financing fees are deducted from their related liabilities on the balance sheet.
Transaction costs associated with the equity portion of convertible notes are reflected as a charge to deficit or as a reduction of accumulated paid-in-capital. The cost of issuing equity is reflected as a reduction of accumulated paid-in-capital.

Foreign Currency Translations and Transactions
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars, the functional currency of the Company. Assets and liabilities of subsidiaries that have a functional currency other than that of the Company are translated to U.S. dollars at the exchange rate as at the balance sheet date. Income and expenses are translated at the average exchange rate of the period. The resulting translation adjustments are included in other comprehensive income and loss (“OCI”). As a result, foreign currency exchange fluctuations may impact operating expenses. The Company currently has not engaged in any currency hedging activities.
For transactions and balances, monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency of the entity at the prevailing exchange rate at the reporting date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities, and revenue and expense items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rate prevailing at the dates of the respective transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, except for Management'sgains or losses arising from the translation of intercompany balances denominated in foreign currencies that forms part in the net investment in the subsidiary which are included in OCI.
The Company currently has not engaged in any currency hedging activities.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors








Loop Industries, Inc.

Los Angeles, California

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Loop Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries as of February 29, 2016 and February 28, 2015 and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes

Consolidated Balance Sheets
(in stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the year ended February 29, 2016 and the period from October 23, 2014 (inception) to February 28, 2015. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that we considered appropriate under the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Loop Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries as of February 29, 2016 and February 28, 2015, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year ended February 29, 2016 and the period from October 23, 2014 (inception) to February 28, 2015, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has no recurring source of revenue and has experienced recurring operating losses and negative operating cash flows since inception. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company has no recurring sourcewe are a development stage company, we have not yet begun commercial operations and we do not have any sources of revenue and duringrevenue. During the year ended February 29, 2016,28, 2019, the Company incurred a net loss of $2.8 Million,$17.5 million (2018 - $14.0 million; 2017 - $4.1 million), used cash in operations of $1.1 Million. These$7.6 million (2018 - $6.4 million; 2017- $2.8 million) and had an accumulated deficit as at February 28, 2019 of $38,811,592, all of these factors raise substantial doubt about the Company'sCompany’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ability
At the current stage of its development, Loop is a pre-revenue company, with its ongoing operations being financed by raising new equity capital and borrowings. To date, the Company has been successful in raising capital to continue asfinance its ongoing operations.
As at February 28, 2019, the Company had cash on hand of $5.8 million. Subsequent to the year-end, on March 1, 2019, the Company raised net proceeds of $4.2 million from a going concernsingle institutional investor from the sale of 600,000 shares in a registered direct offering (Note16). Management is dependent upon the Company's abilityevaluating its plans to raise additional fundsfinancing, the proceeds from which would be used to finance the start-up of its joint venture commercial operations, which is estimated to be between $8,000,000-$10,000,000 and implement its business plan. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

Management estimates that the current funds on hand will not be sufficient to continue operations through the next twelve months or for us to achieve our business plan to finalize the transition to our facilities from pilot scale to a full scale commerical manufacturing facility. Management is currently seeking additional funds, primarily through the issuance of debt and equity securities for cash to operate our business, and estimates that a significant amount of capital will be necessary to advancefurther fund the development of our projects to the point at which they will become commercially viable.

No assuranceits technology and new technologies. There can be givenno assurance that any future financing will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to the Company. Even

The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not reflect the adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the reported expenses and balance sheet classifications that would be necessary if the Company is ablewere unable to obtain additional financing, it may contain undue restrictions on our operations, in the case of debt financing or cause substantial dilution for our stock holders, in case of equity financing. The ability of the Company to continuerealize its assets and discharge its liabilities as a going concern is dependent on management's plans, which include further implementationin the normal course of its business plan and continuing to raise funds through debt and/or equity raises.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principlesUS GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures 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 differ from those estimates. Those estimates and assumptions include estimates for depreciable lives of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, analysis of impairments of recorded intangibles,intangible assets, accruals for potential liabilities and assumptions made in calculating the fair value of certain stock instruments.

stock-based compensation and the fair value of convertible notes and related warrants.

Fair value of financial instruments

The Company applies FASB ASCFinancial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Codification (“ASC”) 820, Fair Value Measurement, which defines fair value and establishes a framework for measuring fair value and making disclosures about fair value measurements. FASB ASC 820 establishes a hierarchal disclosure framework which prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observability used in measuring financial instruments at fair value. Market price observability is impacted by a number of factors, including the type of financial instruments and the characteristics specific to them. Financial instruments with readily available quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value.

There are three levels within the hierarchy that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1

A quoted price in an active market for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2

Significant pricing inputs are observable inputs, which are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from independent sources.

Level 3

Significant pricing inputs are unobservable inputs, which are inputs that reflect the Company'sCompany’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.

F-7

The fair value measurements level of an asset or liability within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used should maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

The valuation methodologies described above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of future net realizable value or reflective of future fair values.

The carrying amountsfair value of the Company's financial assetscash and liabilities, such as cash, prepayments, accounts payable and accrued expensesliabilities approximate their faircarrying values becausedue to their short-term maturity.
Convertible notes
Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity Instruments Issued
The Company applies the guidance in ASC Topic 480 to determine the classification of financial instruments issued. The Company first determines if the instruments should be classified as liabilities under this guidance based on the redemption features, if mandatorily redeemable or not, and the method of redemption, if in cash, a variable number of shares or a fixed number of shares.
If the terms proved that an instrument is mandatorily redeemable in cash, or the holder can compel a settlement in cash, or will be settled in a variable number of shares predominantly based on a fixed monetary amount, the instrument is generally classified as a liability. Instruments that are settled by issuing a fixed number of shares are generally classified as equity instruments.

In some cases, the instruments issued contain settlement features that differ depending upon the prevailing price of the shortCompany’s shares at the date of settlement. Depending on the share price, the instrument will be settled either in a manner consistent with ASC Topic 480 liability treatment, by issuing a variable number of shares based on a fixed monetary amount, or in a manner consistent with ASC Topic 480 treatment for an equity instrument, by issuing a fixed number of shares if the share price is above or below certain levels. In these cases, the Company assesses the likelihood of the various possible settlement outcomes at the inception of the instrument. The classification of the instrument is based on the outcome that is more likely than not to occur. Factors that the Company considers in evaluating the likelihood of the outcomes include:
The terms of the instrument, including its maturity date and the formula for adjustments to the range.
The volatility of thesethe Company’s stock.
The relationship between the price of the Company’s stock on the inception date and fixed prices or ranges the low and high end of the original range.
Historical and expected dividend levels.
When warrants or similar instruments are issued, the Company applies the guidance in ASC Topic 815 to determine if the warrants should be classified as equity instruments or as derivative instruments.

Generally, warrants that are both indexed to the Company’s own stock and that would be classified as equity instruments are not classified as derivative instruments under this guidance. A key element to consider in determining if a warrant would be considered indexed to the Company’s own stock is if the warrants settlement amount is equal to the difference between the fair value of a fixed number of equity shares and a fixed monetary amount. This criterion is sometimes known as the “fixed-for fixed” criteria. In cases where the fixed for fixed criteria are not met, the warrants are classified as derivative instruments.

Convertible liabilities are also assessed to determine if they contain a beneficial conversion feature. A beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) of a convertible note is normally characterized as the convertible portion feature that provides a rate of conversion that is below market value or “in-the-money” when issued. A BCF related to the issuance of a convertible note is recorded at is intrinsic value at the issue date.
Initial measurement
Instruments are initially measured at fair value. If multiple instruments are issued together, the aggregate proceeds are allocated first to derivative instruments or any instrument that will be subsequently accounted for at fair value and the remainder is to the allocated to the various instruments based on their relative fair value.
Subsequent measurement
Instruments initially classified as liabilities are subsequently measured at the present value of the amount to be paid, either in cash or by issuing a variable number of shares based on a fixed monetary amount, and at settlement, accruing interest cost using the rate implicit at inception.
Derivative instruments are recorded at fair value at each reporting period and the variations in fair value recorded in income.
Deferred financing costs and other transaction costs
Deferred financing costs represent commitment fees, legal fees and other costs associated with obtaining commitments for financing. These fees are amortized as a component of interest expense over the terms of the respective financing agreements, including convertible notes, on a straight-line basis. Unamortized deferred financing fees are expensed in full when the associated debt is refinanced or repaid before maturity. Costs incurred in seeking financial transactions that do not close are expensed in the period in which it is determined that the financing will not be successful. Deferred financing fees related to the liability portion of Convertible Notes are deducted from their related liabilities on the balance sheet.
Transaction costs associated with the equity portion of convertible notes are reflected as a charge to deficit or as a reduction of accumulated paid-in-capital. The cost of issuing equity is reflected as a reduction of accumulated paid-in-capital.

In addition, Loop Canada is entitled to receive government assistance in the form of refundable and non-refundable research and development tax credits from the federal and provincial taxation authorities, based on qualifying expenditures incurred during the fiscal year. The refundable credits are from the provincial taxation authorities and are not dependent on its ongoing tax status or tax position and accordingly are not considered part of income taxes. The Company records refundable tax credits as a reduction of research and development expenses when the Company expectscan reasonably estimate the amounts and it is more likely than not, they will be received. During the year ended February 28, 2019, the Company recorded $305,592 (2018 – $221,202; 2017 - $148,547) as a reduction of research and development expenses.

Office equipment and furniture

5-88 years

Machinery and Equipment

Leaseholds improvements are amortized over the shorter of the related lease terms or their estimated useful lives.

Costs related to repairs and maintenance of property, plant and equipment are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. Upon sale or disposal, the Company writes off the cost of the asset and the related amount of accumulated depreciation. The resulting gain or loss is included in the consolidated statement of operations.

operations and comprehensive loss.

Management assesses the carrying value of property, plant and equipment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. If there is indication of impairment, management prepares an estimate of future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If these cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized to write down the asset to its estimated fairrecoverable value. For the year ended February 29, 2016 and the period from October 23, 2014 (inception) toAs at February 28, 2015,2019, 2018 and 2017, the Company determined that there were no indicators of impairment and did not recognize any impairment forof its property, plant and equipment.

cost and are amortized over their estimated useful lives, unless the useful life is indefinite, using the straight-line method over 7 years.

The Company reviews intangible assets subject to amortization at least annually to determine if any adverse conditions exist or a change in circumstances has occurred that would indicate impairment or a change in the remaining useful life. If the carrying value of an asset exceeds its undiscounted cash flows, the Company writes down the carrying value of the intangible asset to its fair value in the period identified. If the carrying value of assets is determined not to be recoverable, the Company records an impairment loss equal to the excess of the carrying value over the fair value of the assets. The Company'sCompany’s estimate of fair value is based on the best information available, in the absence of quoted market prices. The Company generally calculates fair value as the present value of estimated future cash flows that the Company expects to generate from the asset using a discounted cash flow income approach as described above. If the estimate of an intangible asset'sasset’s remaining useful life is changed, the Company amortizes the remaining carrying value of the intangible asset prospectively over the revised remaining useful life.

As of February 29, 2016 and February 28, 2015 the Company determined that there were no indicators of impairment of its recorded intangible assets.

Stock Based Compensation

The Company

Stock-based compensation
Loop Industries periodically issues stock options and warrants to employees and non-employees in non-capital raising transactions for services and for financing costs. The Company accounts for stock option and warrant grants issued and vestingoptions granted to employees based on the authoritative guidance provided by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) whereasFASB wherein the fair value of the award is measured on the grant date of grant and where there are no performance conditions, recognized as compensation expense on the straight-line basis over the vesting period. period and where performance conditions exist, recognize compensation expense when it becomes probable that the performance condition will been met. Forfeitures on share-based payments are accounted for by recognizing forfeitures as they occur.
The Company accounts for stock option and warrant grants issued and vestingoptions granted to non-employees in accordance with the authoritative guidance of the FASB whereaswherein the fair value of the stock compensation is based upon the measurement date determined as determined at either a)the earlier of the date at which either a) a performance commitment is reached with the counterparty for performance or b) at the date at whichcounterparty completes its performance.
The Company estimates the necessary performancefair value of restricted stock unit awards to earnemployees and directors based on the equity instruments is complete. Options granted to non-employees are revalued each reporting period to determine the amount to be recorded as an expense in the respective period. As the options vest, they are valued on each vesting date and an adjustment is recorded for the difference between the value already recorded and the then current valueclosing market price of its common stock on the date of vesting. In certain circumstances where there are no future performance requirements by the non-employee, option grants are immediately vested and the total stock-based compensation charge is recorded in the period of the measurement date.

The fair value of the Company's stock option and warrant grantsoptions granted are estimated using the Black-Scholes-Merton Option Pricing (“Black-Scholes”) model, which uses certain assumptions related to risk-free interest rates, expected volatility, expected life of the stock options, or warrants, and future dividends. CompensationStock-based compensation expense is recorded based uponon the value derived from the Black-Scholes-Merton Option PricingBlack-Scholes model and based on actual experience. The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes-Merton Option PricingBlack-Scholes model could materially affect stock-based compensation expense recorded in the current and future periods.

Income Taxes

taxes

The Company calculates its provision for income tax charge on the basis of the tax laws enacted at the balance sheet date in the countries where the Company and its subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income, in accordance with FASB ASC 740, IncomeTaxesIncome Taxes. The Company uses an asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting for income taxes that allows recognition and measurement of deferred tax assets based upon the likelihood of realization of tax benefits in future years. Under the asset and liability approach, deferred taxes are provided for the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not these items will either expire before the Company is able to realize their benefits, or that future deductibility is uncertain. The Company'sCompany’s policy is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense.

Research and Development Costs

development expenses

Research and development expenses relate primarily to the development, design, testing of preproduction samples, prototypes and models, compensation, and consulting fees, and are expensed as incurred. Total research and development costs recorded during the yearyears ended February 29, 201628, 2019, 2018 and the period from October 23, 2014 (inception) to February 28, 20152017 amounted to $801,666$3.5 million,$6.7 million and $40,614, respectively.

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) applicable to Common Stockholderscommon stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stockcommon stock outstanding during the year. The Company includes common stock issuable in its calculation. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) applicable to Common Stockholderscommon stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if all dilutive potential common shares had been issued, using the treasury stock method. Potential common shares are excluded from the computation if their effect is antidilutive.

For the yearyears ended February 29, 201628, 2019 and the period from October 23, 2014 (inception) to February 28, 2015,2018, the calculations of basic and diluted loss per share are the same because potential dilutive securities would have an anti-dilutiveantidilutive effect. TheAs at February 28, 2019, the potentially dilutive securities consisted of 2,322,3341,962,400 outstanding stock options (2018 – 2,374,581; 2017 – 1,010,000), 402,868 outstanding restricted stock units (2018 – 34,102; 2017 - nil) and 802,469 outstanding warrants as of February 29, 2016. There were no warrants outstanding as of February 28, 2015.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

adopted accounting pronouncements

In May 2014,2017, the FinancialFASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718) Scope of Modification Accounting Standards Board (FASB), which amends the guidance in Topic 718 to clarify when a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award requires the application of the guidance in Topic 718. The amendments provide that an entity shall account for the effects of a modification of a share-based payment award unless all the following conditions are met:
a.
The fair value (or calculated value or intrinsic value, if such an alternative measurement method is used) of the modified award is the same as the fair value (or calculated value or intrinsic value, if such an alternative measurement method is used) of the original award immediately before the original award is modified. If the modification does not affect any of the inputs to the valuation technique that the entity uses to value the award, the entity is not required to estimate the value immediately before and after the modification.
b.
The vesting conditions of the modified award are the same as the vesting conditions of the original award immediately before the original award is modified.
c.
The classification of the modified award as an equity instrument or a liability instrument is the same as the classification of the original award immediately before the original award is modified.
For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The company adopted ASU 2017-09 on March 1, 2018. The adoption of the standard had no impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements
In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, which permits entities to reclassify the disproportionate income tax effects of the Tax Reform Act on items within accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) ("AOCI") to retained earnings. These disproportionate income tax effect items are referred to as "stranded tax effects." Amendments in this update only relate to the reclassification of the income tax effects of the Tax Reform Act. Other accounting guidance that requires the effect of changes in tax laws or rates to be included in net income from continuing operations is not affected by this update. ASU 2018-02 should be applied either in the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period in which the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate in the Tax Reform Act is recognized. ASU 2018-02 is applicable beginning March 1, 2019. The Company does not expect that ASU 2018-02 will have an impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting Standards. The amendments in this Update No. 2014-09 (ASU 2014-09), expand the scope of Topic 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. An entity should apply the requirements of Topic 718 to nonemployee awards except for specific guidance on inputs to an option pricing model and the attribution of cost (that is, the period of time over which share-based payment awards vest and the pattern of cost recognition over that period). The amendments specify that Topic 718 applies to all share-based payment transactions in which a grantor acquires goods or services to be used or consumed in a grantor’s own operations by issuing share-based payment awards. The amendments also clarify that Topic 718 does not apply to share-based payments used to effectively provide (1) financing to the issuer or (2) awards granted in conjunction with selling goods or services to customers as part of a contract accounted for under Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2014-09 will eliminate transaction- and industry-specific revenue recognition guidance under current U.S. GAAP and replace it with a principle based approach for determining revenue recognition. On August 12, 2015, FASB delayed the required implementation to fiscal years ending after December 15, 2017 but now permitted organizations such the Company to adopt earlier. ASU 2014-09 will require that companies recognize revenue based on the value of transferred goods or services as they occur in the contract. The ASU also will require additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. Entities can transition to the standard either retrospectively or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. Management has determined to adopt ASU 2014-09 in Fiscal 2017 and has not determined the effect of the standard on our ongoing financial reporting.

In June 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-12, Compensation – Stock CompensationCustomers. The pronouncement was issued to clarify the accounting for share-based payments when the terms of an award provide that a performance target could be achieved after the requisite service period. The pronouncement isamendments in this Update are effective for reporting periodspublic entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015.2018, including interim periods within that fiscal year. The adoption ofCompany does not expect that ASU 2014-122018-07 will not have a significantan impact on the Company'sits consolidated financial positionstatements.

In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-09, Codification Improvements, which clarify certain amendments to guidance that may have been incorrectly or resultsinconsistently applied by certain entities and includes Amendments to Subtopic 718-740, Compensation – Stock Compensation – Income Taxes. The guidance in paragraph 718-740-35-2, as amended by the amendments in ASU 2016-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, is unclear on whether an entity should recognize excess tax benefits (or tax deficiencies) for compensation expense that is taken on the entity’s tax return. The amendment to paragraph 718-740-35-2 in this Update clarifies that an entity should recognize excess tax benefits in the period in which the amount of operations.deduction is determined. The amendments in this Update are effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that fiscal year. The Company does not expect that this update will have an impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02, Leases. ASU 2016-02, “Leases,” amended in July by ASU 2018-10, “Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases,” ASU 2018-11, “Targeted Improvements,” and ASU 2018-20, “Narrow-Scope Improvements for Lessors,” which requires a lesseelessees to record a right of use asset and a corresponding lease liabilityrecognize leases on the balance sheet while continuing to recognize expenses in the income statement in a manner similar to current accounting standards. For lessors, the new standard modifies the classification criteria and the accounting for all leases with terms longer than 12 months.sales-type and direct financing leases. Enhanced disclosures will also be required to give financial statement users the ability to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. This ASU 2016-02 is effective for all interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. Amay either be adopted on a modified retrospective transition approach is required for lessees for capital and operating leases existing at or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period, presented inor through a cumulative-effect adjustment at the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available.adoption date. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is required to adopt these standards effective March 1, 2019, but it still in the process of evaluatingdetermining the quantitative impact of ASU 2016-02 on the Company'sCompany’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

F-10

In August 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-15 (ASU 2014-15), Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern (Subtopic 205-10). ASU 2014-15 provides guidance as to management's responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity's ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. In connection with preparing financial statements for each annual and interim reporting period, an entity's management should evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or within one year after the date that the financial statements are available to be issued when applicable). Management's evaluation should be based on relevant conditions and events that are known and reasonably knowable at the date that the financial statements are issued (or at the date that the financial statements are available to be issued when applicable). Substantial doubt about an entity's ability to continue as a going concern exists when relevant conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, indicate that it is probable that the entity will be unable to meet its obligations as they become due within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued). ASU 2014-15 is effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted.statements. The Company will adopt ASU 2014-15 onelect to apply the Company's financial statement presentationpackage of practical expedients that allows us not to reassess whether expired or existing contracts contain leases, the classification of these leases and disclosures beginningwhether previously capitalized initial direct costs would qualify for capitalization under Accounting Standards Codification (or “ASC”) 842.

Note 4 – Intellectual Property

2017 in which the Company previously was a tenant, the Company performed a review of the useful lives of its property, plant and equipment. Building improvements, previously classified as leasehold improvements, have had their useful lives adjusted to 5 years from 3 years. During the year ended February 28, 2018, the Company recorded an adjustment of $8,000 to reflect the deceleration of the depreciation.

4. Intangible Assets
On October 27, 2014, the Company entered into an intellectual property agreementIntellectual Property Assignment Agreement with Mr. Hatem Essaddam wherein the Company purchased a certain technique and method, which was used to develop the Generation I (“GEN I”) technology, for $445,050 allowing for the depolymerization of polyethylene terephthalate at ambient temperature and atmospheric pressure. The Company will use such techniqueGEN I technology patent portfolio has two issued U.S. patents and a pending U.S. application expected to expire on or around July 2035. Internationally, we also have an issued patent in its processing plant. The technology isTaiwan, an allowed application in the members of the Gulf Cooperation Council, and pending patent applications in Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Eurasia, Europe, Israel, India, Japan, Korea, Mexico, the Philippines, and South Africa, all expected to expire on or around July 2036 if granted. At the date of acquisition, the acquired intangible asset has an estimated useful life of 7 years and was being amortized using theon a straight-line method over the estimated used life of the patents 7 years. As of February 28, 2015 $212,800 of the purchase price was outstanding, which amount was paid in full during the year ended February 29, 2016.

In addition to the $445,050 paid by the Company under the Intellectual Property Assignment Agreement, the Company is required to make four additional payments of CDN$200,000, totaling CDN$800,000, to Mr. Essaddam within sixty (60) days of attaining each of the following milestones (the "Milestones") having been met, as follows:

(i)

CDN$200,000 when an average of twenty (20) metric tons per daymilestones:

the average production of 20 metric tonnes of terephthalic acid meeting the is produced by the Company for twenty (20) operating days;

(iv)

CDN$200,000 when an average of one hundred (100) metric tons per day of terephthalic acid is produced by the Company for sixty (60) operating days.

As of February 29, 2016 the Company, is still in its test pilot program,as a result of the GEN I technology, for 20 operating days;

the average production of 30 metric tonnes of terephthalic acid by the Company, as a result of the GEN I technology, for 30 operating days;
the average production of 60 metric tonnes of terephthalic acid by the Company, as a result of the GEN I technology, for 60 operating days;
the average production of 100 metric tonnes of terephthalic acid by the Company, as a result of the GEN I technology, for 100 operating days.
As at February 28, 2019, none of the Milestones havemilestones had been met, and accordingly no additional CDN$200,000 payment haspayments have been made.

Additionally, the Company is obligated to make royalty payments of up to CDN$27,000,000,25,700,000, based on the GEN I technology, payable as follows:

(a)

10% of gross profits on the sale of all products derived by the Company from the technology assigned to the Company under the agreement;

(b)

10% of any license fee paid to the Company in respect of any licensing or other right to use the technology assigned to the Company and granted to a third party by the Assignee;

(c)

5% of any royalty or other similar payment made to the Company by a third party to whom a license or other right to use the technology assigned to the Company has been granted by the Company; and

(d)

5% of any royalty or other similar payment made to the Company by a third party in respect of a sub-license or other right to use the technology assigned to the Company granted by the third party.

10% of gross profits on the sale of all products derived by the Company from the technology;

As ofat February 29, 2016, we have28, 2019, the Company had not made any royalty payments under the Intellectual Property Assignment Agreement.

Agreement, referred to as the GEN I technology.  The Company has determined that it have no intent of commercializing the GEN I technology.

During the year ended February 28, 2019, the Company finalized the development of its next Generation II (“GEN II”) technology and has filed various patents in jurisdictions around the world. On April 9, 2019, the GEN II U.S. patent was formally approved and issued. The GEN II technology patent portfolio has an issued U.S. patent and a pending U.S. application expected to expire on or around September 2037; as well as a PCT application and non-PCT applications in Argentina, Bangladesh, Bolivia, Bhutan, members of the Gulf Cooperation Council, Iraq, Pakistan, Taiwan, Uruguay, and Venezuela, all expected to expire on or around September 2037 if granted. Additionally, we have three pending provisional applications directed to additional aspects of the GEN II technology. Any patents that would ultimately grant from these provisional applications would be expected to expire no earlier than 2039 if granted.
Concurrent with the GEN II development, in June 2018, the Company transitioned to its newly constructed GEN II industrial pilot plant. The GEN II technology forms the basis for the commercialization of the Company into the future.
As a result of the strategic shift away from the GEN I technology, and the development of the GEN II technology during the year ended February 28, 2019, the Company considered the carrying value of its GEN I intangible asset to be impaired and wrote off the remaining balance of its GEN I intangible asset, which amounted to $298,694.
Amortization expense is recorded as an operating expense in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss and amounted to $63,579 and $9,892$59,851 for the year ended February 29, 201628, 2019 (2018 - $63,579; 2017 - $63,579).

Each company has a 50/50 equity interest in Loop Indorama Technologies, LLC (“ILT”), which was specifically formed to operate and execute the periodjoint venture.
Under the Agreement, Indorama Venture is required to contribute manufacturing knowledge and Loop is required to contribute its proprietary science and technology.
Specifically, the Company will contribute an exclusive world-wide royalty-free license for ITL to use its proprietary technology to produce 100% sustainably produced PET resin and polyester fiber.
ITL meets the accounting definition of a joint venture where neither party has control of the joint venture entity and both parties have joint control over the decision-making process in IVL. As such, the Company uses the equity method of accounting to account for its share of the investment in Loop Indorama Technologies, LLC. As there has been no activity in ILT from October 23, 2014 (inception)the date of inception of September 24, 2018 to February 28, 2015,2019 and, as at February 28, 2019, no transactions have been recorded in the joint venture entity, the carrying value of the equity investment is nil.

Convertible Notes
First Issuance
On November 13, 2018, the Company issued convertible promissory notes (the “November 2018 Notes”), together with related warrants to acquire an additional 50% of the shares issued upon the conversion of the November 2018 Notes (the “November 2018 Warrants”), for an aggregate purchase price of $2,450,000 (the “November 2018 Private Placement”). On January 3, 2019, the Company issued additional convertible promissory notes from this issuance (the “November 2018 Notes”), together with related warrants to acquire an additional 50% of the shares issued upon the conversion of the November 2018 Notes (the “November 2018 Warrants”), for an aggregate purchase price of $200,000 (the “November 2018 Private Placement”). The Company expects to use the net proceeds of the November 2018 Private Placement for general corporate and working capital purposes.
The November 2018 Notes carry an interest rate of 8.00% per annum and mature on May 13, 2019 and July 3, 2019 (the “November 2018 Maturity Date”), respectively,

Future estimated patent amortization upon which date the outstanding principal amount of the November 2018 Notes and all accrued and unpaid interest shall automatically convert into shares of the common stock of the Company at the price per share equal to the lesser of (i) $13.00 and (ii) the average closing price of the Company’s Common Stock on the Nasdaq stock market for the ten days preceding the day to the conversion of the November 2018 Notes (the “November 2018 Conversion Price”). The total number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon automatic conversion shall equal the outstanding principal amount of the November 2018 Notes and all accrued and unpaid interest on the November 2018 Notes, divided by the November 2018 Conversion Price.

The November 2018 Warrants are exercisable for an additional fifty percent (50%) of the shares of Common Stock issued upon the conversion of the November 2018 Notes (the “November 2018 Warrant Shares”). The per share purchase price (the “November 2018 Exercise Price”) for each of the November 2018 Warrant Shares purchasable under the November 2018 Warrants shall be equal to the lesser of (i) $15.00 and (ii) the average closing price of the Company’s Common Stock on the Nasdaq stock market for the ten days preceding the day of the conversion of the November 2018 Notes. The November 2018 Warrants will be issued upon conversion of the November 2018 Notes. The November 2018 Warrants expire eighteen (18) months from the date of the conversion of the November 2018 Notes (the “November 2018 Expiration Date”). The Investors may exercise the November 2018 Warrants at any time prior to the November 2018 Expiration Date.

Due to the variable conversion price, the November 2018 Notes contain characteristics of a variable share-forward sales contracts (“VSF”) under the guidance of ASC 480-10. Management has determined that for the purpose of ‎the accounting for the November 2018 Notes, it is more likely than not that the November 2018 Conversion Price will be below $13.00, resulting in the issuance of a variable number of shares, the November 2018 Notes are classified as a liability, and accounted for at amortized cost.
Due to the variable number of warrants to be issued and the variable strike price of the November 2018 Warrants, these do not meet the “fixed-for-fixed” criteria under ASC 815-40. Accordingly, the November 2018 Warrants are classified as a derivative liability, initially measured at fair value and subsequently revalued at fair value through the income statement.The fair value was calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation.

The portion relating to the November 2018 Warrants was immediately expensed.

Second Issuance
On January 15, 2019, the Company issued convertible promissory notes (the “January 2019 Notes”), together with related warrants to acquire an additional 50% of the shares issuable upon the conversion of the January 2019 Notes (the “January 2019 Warrants”), for an aggregate purchase price of $4,500,000 (the “January 2019 Private Placement”). On January 21, 2019, the Company issued additional convertible promissory notes from this issuance (the “January 2019 Notes”), together with related warrants to acquire an additional 50% of the shares issuable upon the conversion of the January 2019 Notes (the “January 2019 Warrants”), for an aggregate purchase price of $400,000 (the “January 2019 Private Placement”). The Company expects to use the net proceeds of the January 2019 Private Placement for general corporate and working capital purposes.
The January 2019 Notes carry an interest rate of 8.00% per annum and mature on January 15, 2020 and January 21, 2020 (the “January 2020 Maturity Date”), respectively. At the January 2020 Maturity Date, the outstanding principal amount of the January 2019 Notes shall automatically convert into shares of the common stock of the Company at the price per share equal to $8.10 (the “January 2020 Conversion Price”). The January 2020 Conversion Price may be adjusted in the event that the Company issues common shares in a private sale or offering at a lower price per share than $8.10 within 180 days of the closing date. The lower price would become the new conversion price of the January 2019 Notes, which would impact the number of shares that would be issued. The total number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon automatic conversion shall equal the outstanding principal amount of the January 2019 Notes divided by the January 2020 Conversion Price.
With respect to accrued and unpaid interest at the January 2020 Maturity Date, the Investors have the option of receiving cash or common stock of the Company at that date. Upon the January 2020 Maturity Date, where the Investor elect’s payment of accrued and unpaid interest on the January 2019 Notes in common stock, the price per share shall be equal to the trading price of the common stock at the close of the market on the date immediately preceding the January 2020 Maturity Date.

The January 2019 Warrants are exercisable for an additional fifty percent (50%) of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the January 2019 Notes (the “January 2019 Warrant Shares”). The per share purchase price (the “January 2019 Exercise Price”) for each of the January 2019 Warrant Shares purchasable under the January 2019 Warrants shall be equal to 115% of the January 2020 Conversion Price. The January 2019 Warrants will be calculated and issued upon the closing date of the January 2019 Notes, based upon the initial $8.10 conversion price. As such, the Company issued 302,469 warrants at the closing dates of the January 2019 Notes. If the Investor elects to take accrued and unpaid interest on the January 2019 Notes in common stock, additional warrants will be issued to acquire 50% of the shares issued in connection with the accrued and unpaid interest (also referred to as the “January 2019 Warrants”). The January 2019 Warrants expire twenty-four (24) months from the date of their issuance (the “January 2019 Expiration Date”). The Investors may exercise the January 2019 Warrants at any time prior to the January 2019 Expiration Date.
A beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) of a convertible note is normally characterized as the convertible portion feature that provides a rate of conversion that is below market value or “in-the-money” when issued. A BCF related to the issuance of a convertible note is recorded at the issue date. With the conversion feature on the January 2019 Notes being “in the money”, the beneficial conversion feature is measured using the intrinsic value method and is shown as a discount on the carrying amount of the convertible note and is credited to additional paid-in capital. The intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature at the issue date of the January 2019 Notes was determined to be $1,200,915.
In connection with the January 2019 Warrants issued along with the January 2019 Notes, they meet the requirements of the scope exemptions in ASC 815-10-15-74 and are thus classified as equity upon issuance. The Company determined the fair value of the warrants using the Black-Scholes pricing formula and is shown as a discount on the carrying amount of the convertible note and is credited to additional paid-in capital. The fair value of the warrants at the issue date was determined to be $757,704.
The allocated fair values of the beneficial conversion feature and the warrants is recorded in the financial statements as a debt discount from the face amount of the convertible note and such discount is amortized over the expected term of the convertible note and is charged to interest expense.

11. Equity Incentive Plan
On July 6, 2017, the Company adopted the 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan permits the granting of warrants, stock options, stock appreciation rights and restricted stock units to employees, directors and consultants of the Company. A total of 3,000,000 shares of common stock were initially reserved for issuance under the Plan at July 6, 2017, with annual automatic share reserve increases, as defined in the Plan, amounting to the lessor of (i) 1,500,000 shares, (ii) 5% of the outstanding shares on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year, or (iii) or such number of shares determined by the Administrator of the Plan, effective March 1, 2018. The Plan is administered by the Board of Directors who designates eligible participants to be included under the Plan, the number of awards granted, the share price pursuant to the awards and the vesting conditions and period. The awards, when granted, will have an exercise price of no less than the estimated fair value of shares at the date of grant and a life not exceeding 10 years from the grant date. However, where a participant, at the time of the grant, owns stock representing more than 10% of the voting power of the Company, the life of the options shall not exceed 5 years.

On December 22, 2017, the U.S. enacted the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“U.S. tax reform”) that lowers the statutory tax rate on U.S. earnings to 21%, taxes historic foreign earnings at a reduced rate of tax, establishes a territorial tax system and enacts new taxes associated with global operations.
The impact of enactment of U.S. tax reform was recorded on a provisional basis as the legislation provides for additional guidance to be issued by the U.S. Treasury Department on several provisions including the computation of the transition tax. The Company’s Controlled Foreign Corporations (“CFCs”), being Loop Canada Inc. and 9449710 Canada Inc., were deficit E&T corporations, and as such no income was recognized by Loop Industries during the year ended February 28, 2019 (2018 – nil; 2017 – nil). No further inclusions were made during the year ended February 28, 2019 based on guidance issued during the year. Additional guidance may be issued after February 28, 2019 and any resulting effects will be recorded at that time.
Additionally, as part of tax reform, the U.S. has enacted a minimum tax on foreign earnings (“global intangible low-taxed income”). The Company has not made an accrual for the deferred tax aspects of this provision as Loop Industries’ CFCs have suffered net tested losses.
The enactment of U.S. tax reform reduced the corporate tax rate to 21%, effective January 1, 2018, for all corporations. US GAAP requires the effect of a change in tax laws or rates to be recognized as of the date of enactment, therefore the Company revalued its deferred tax assets and liabilities as at December 22, 2017. As a result of the revaluation, the Company recorded a tax expense of $876,812 during the year ended February 28, 2018, to reflect the revaluation of deferred taxes. However, as in prior years, a valuation allowance was provided against the deferred tax asset.

The Company has accumulated the following losses for income tax purposes which may be carried forward to reduce U.S. Federal and Canadian Federal and provincial taxable income in future years, and will expire as follows:

In addition, the Company has approximately CDN$4,679,187 of research and development expenditures for Canadian Federal tax purposes and CDN$4,670,034 for Québec tax purposes that are available to reduce taxable income in future years and have an unlimited carry forward period, the benefit of which has not been reflected in these financial statements. Research and development expenditures are subject to audit by the taxation authorities and accordingly, these amounts may vary.

Assessment of the amount of value assigned to the Company's deferred tax assets under the applicable accounting rules is judgmental.  The Company is required to consider all available positive and negative evidence in evaluating the likelihood that the Company will be able to realize the benefit of its deferred tax assets in the future.  Such evidence includes scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and the results of recent operations.  Since this evaluation requires consideration of events that may occur some years into the future, there is an element of judgment involved.  The realization of the Company's deferred tax assets, including those related to income tax loss carryforwards, is dependent on generating sufficient taxable income in future periods.  Management does not believe that it is more likely than not that future taxable income will be sufficient to allow it to recover substantially all of the value assigned to its deferred tax assets.  Accordingly, the Company has provided for a valuation allowance of the Company's deferred tax asset. For the years ended February 28, 2019, 2018 and 2017, the valuation allowance increased by $3,270,369, $1,446,422 and $1,247,252, respectively.
The tax years subject to examination by major tax jurisdiction include the years 2016 and forward by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and most state jurisdictions, and the years 2016 and forward for the Canadian jurisdiction.

15. Contingencies
On January 27, 2017, two individuals (“Plaintiffs”), filed a claim against the Company in the Los Angeles Superior Court (“Court”), seeking damages for breach of implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, breach of contract, and promissory fraud, asserting entitlement to shares of the Company'sCompany’s common stock. On February 25, 2019, the Company and the Plaintiffs entered into a settlement agreement and release (“Settlement Agreement”), which sets forth the parties’ agreement in principle for settlement. Through the Settlement Agreement, Plaintiffs, the Company and certain other parties to the Settlement Agreement agreed to mutual releases of any and all claims.
Pursuant to the terms of the Settlement Agreement, without agreeing that any of the Plaintiffs’ claims have merit, the Company agreed to issue to the Plaintiffs 150,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (“Plaintiff Common Shares”) and 500,000 warrants exercisable for shares of the Company’s common stock (“Plaintiff Warrants”). The Plaintiff Common Shares will be restricted upon issuance, but within 180 days following the date of the Settlement Agreement, the Company has agreed to file and use its reasonable best efforts to have declared effective a registration statement to register the Plaintiff Common Shares and the shares of the Company’s common stock underlying the Plaintiff Warrants. The Company also agreed to maintain such registration statement for 2 years from the date of effectiveness unless the Plaintiffs sell or otherwise transfer the shares covered by such registration statement prior to the two-year anniversary. 300,000 of the Plaintiff Warrants are exercisable for shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $.80$12.00 per share for services. The fair valuea period of 24 months following the date of the warrants granted during the year ended was determined to be $1,210,788. During the year ended February 29, 2016, the Company amortized $404,506 of these costs whichSettlement Agreement. The remaining 200,000 Plaintiff Warrants are included in operating expense. As of February 29, 2016 the unamortized balance of these costs was $806,282 which will be amortized over the next two years. There was no intrinsic value of these warrants at February 29, 2016.

During the year ended February 29, 2016, the Company issued warrants to purchase 102,334exercisable for shares of the Company'sCompany’s common stock at an exercise price of $6.00$11.00 per share for a period of 24 months, but in the event the Company’s 5-day average trading price during any period in the first 18 months following the date of the Settlement Agreement is above $11 per share, then the exercise term of such warrants shall automatically be reduced to certain investors upon18 months instead of 24 months.

In connection with the salelegal settlement, the Company recorded an expense in the amount of its equity securities.

Note 7 – Deferred Tax Assets and Income Tax Provision

Deferred Tax Assets

At February 29, 2016,a single institutional investor, pursuant to which the Company had net operating loss ("NOL"has agreed to issue and sell to the Purchaser, in a registered direct offering (“Offering”) carry-forwards for Federal income tax purposes, an aggregate of $1,049,031 that may be offset against future taxable income through 2036. No tax benefit has been reported with respect to these net operating loss carry-forwards because the Company believes that the realization600,000 shares (“Shares”) of the Company's net deferred tax assets of approximately $367,000 was not considered more than likely than not and accordingly, the potential tax benefits for the net loss carry-forwards are offset byCompany’s common stock at a full valuation allowance.

Deferred tax assets consist primarily of the tax effect of NOL carry-forwards. The Company has provided a full valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets because of the uncertainty regarding the probability of its realization. The valuation allowance increased approximately by $295,000 and $72,000 for the reporting period ended February 29, 2016 and the period from October 24, 2014 (inception) to February 28, 2015, respectively.

ITEMITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officerChief Executive Officer and the principal financial officer,Chief Financial Officer, we are responsible for conducting an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our internal controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act, of 1934, as ofat the end of the fiscal year covered by this report. Disclosure controls and procedures means that the material information required to be included in our Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC")SEC reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms relating to our company, including any consolidating subsidiaries, and was made known to us by others within those entities, particularly during the period when this report was being prepared. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded as ofassessment, management determined that the evaluation date that ourCompany’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effectiveover financial reporting as of February 29, 2016.

MANAGEMENT'S ANNUAL REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

As of February 29, 2016, management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. The Company's28, 2019 was effective.


Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company.company. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act, of 1934, as amended, as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Company'sour Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and effected by the Company'sour Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP in the United States of America and includes those policies and procedures that:

·

Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect our transactions and dispositions of our assets;

·

Provide reasonable assurance our transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of our financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and

·

Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statement.

18

In evaluating the effectivenessmaintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect our transactions and dispositions of our assets;

Provide reasonable assurance our transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of our financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and
Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Management, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have performed an evaluation of our internal control over financial reporting our management usedunder the criteria set forthframework in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013), issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO")Commission. The objective of this assessment was to determine whether our internal control over financial reporting was effective at February 28, 2019. Based on this assessment, management determined that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of February 28, 2019 was effective.
In connection with our prior years’ assessments of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as at February 28, 2018, we concluded that there was a material weakness related specifically to the accounting for stock-based compensation. In connection with the material weaknesses identified as at February 28, 2018, associated specifically to the accounting for share-based payments, during the year ended February 28, 2019, management took steps towards remediating our material weakness in connection with the accounting for share-based payments, by expanding our in-house expertise on accounting for share-based payments, as well as continuing to consult with external third parties on more complex share-based payment arrangements. This remediation process commenced during the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2018 and has been successfully implemented.
As a result of the actions noted above, the material weaknesses identified as part of our Fiscal 2018 assessment were remediated during Fiscal 2019.
The effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of February 28, 2019, has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which is included in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Changes in Internal Control – Integrated Framework. Based on that evaluation, completed only by Daniel Solomita, our President, Secretary, Treasurer and Director, who also serves as our principal financial officer and principal accounting officer, Mr. Solomita concluded that, during the period covered by this report, such internal controls and procedures were not effective to detect the inappropriate application of US GAAP rules as more fully described below.

over Financial Reporting

This was due to deficiencies that existedChanges in the design or operation of our internal controls over financial reporting have been reported in the section “Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting” and include the implementation and formalization of certain controls relating to the accounting for stock-based compensation, which included expanding our in-house expertise on accounting for stock-based compensation under US GAAP, as well as establishing formal protocols that adversely affected our internal controls and that may be consideredrequire management to be material weaknesses. The matters involving internal controls and procedures that our management consideredconsult with external third parties on more complex share-based payment arrangements. These changes were implemented to beremediate the material weaknesses were: (i) lackin internal control over accounting for share-based payment arrangements described above.
With the exception of a functioning audit committee duethe remediation procedures identified with respect to a lack of a majority of independent members and a lack of a majority of outside directors on our board of directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; (ii) inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives; and (iii) ineffective controls over period end financial disclosure and reporting processes. The aforementioned material weaknesses were identified by Mr. Solomita, our President, Secretary, Treasurer and Director, who also serves as our principal financial officer and principal accounting officer, in connection with the review of our financial statements as of February 29, 2016.

Management believes that the lack of a functioning audit committee and the lack of a majority of outside directors on our board of directors results in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures, which could result in a material misstatement in our financial statements in future periods.

CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING.

Therefor share-based payment arrangements, there were no other changes in the Company'sour internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fourth quarter of theour most recent fiscal year ended February 29, 2016 that have materially affected, or that arewere reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company'sour internal control over financial reporting.

Inherent Limitation on the Effectiveness of Internal Controls
The effectiveness of any system of internal control over financial reporting is subject to inherent limitations, including the exercise of judgment in designing, implementing, operating, and evaluating the controls and procedures, and the inability to eliminate misconduct completely. Accordingly, any system of internal control over financial reporting can only provide reasonable, not absolute, assurances. In addition, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. We intend to continue to monitor and upgrade our internal controls as necessary or appropriate for our business but cannot assure that such improvements will be sufficient to provide us with effective internal control over financial reporting.

following hyperlink: TERM OF OFFICEhttp://www.loopindustries.com/assets/docs/Code_of_Ethics.pdf

All directors hold office until the next annual meeting of the stockholders of the Company and until their successors. To date, there have been duly electedno waivers under our Code of Ethics. We will post waivers, if and qualified.when granted, of our Code of Ethics on our website at www.loopindustries.com. The Company's Bylaws provideinformation contained on, or that the Board of Directors will consist of no less than three members. Officers are elected by and serve at the discretion of the Board of Directors.

DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

Our board of directors is currently composed of two members, neither of whom qualifies as an independent director in accordance with the published listing requirements of the NASDAQ Global Market. The NASDAQ independence definition includes a series of objective tests, such as that the directorcan be accessed through, our website is not and has not been for at least three years, onea part of our employees and that neither the director, nor any of his family members has engaged in various types of business dealings with us. In addition, our board of directors has not made a subjective determination as to each director that no relationships exist which, in the opinion of our board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director, though such subjective determination is required by the NASDAQ rules. Had our board of directors made these determinations, our board of directors would have reviewed and discussed information provided by the directors and us with regard to each director's business and personal activities and relationships as they may relate to us and our management.

CERTAIN LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

No director, nominee for director, or executive officer of the Company has appeared as a party in any legal proceeding material to an evaluation of his ability or integrity during the past ten years.

SIGNIFICANT EMPLOYEES AND CONSULTANTS

As of February 29, 2016, Daniel Solomita is our sole significant employee. Don Danks, is a non-employee director of the Company. Other than our two officers and directors, we currently have no significant independent contractors or consultants.

AUDIT COMMITTEE AND CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

Since we do not have an audit or compensation committee comprised of independent directors, the functions that would have been performed by such committees are performed by our directors. The Board of Directors has not established an audit committee and does not have an audit committee financial expert, nor has the Board of Directors established a nominating committee. The Board is of the opinion that such committees are not necessary since the Company is an early exploration stage company and has only two directors, and to date, such directors have been performing the functions of such committees. Thus, there is a potential conflict of interest in that our directors and officers have the authority to determine issues concerning management compensation, nominations, and audit issues that may affect management decisions.

There are no family relationships among our directors or officers. Other than as described above, we are not aware of any other conflicts of interest with any of our executive officers or directors.

SECTION 16(A) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our executive officers and directors, and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of our equity securities, file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. Executive officers, directors and greater-than-ten percent stockholders are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with all Section 16(a) forms they file. Basedthis Annual Report on our review of filings made on the SEC website, and the fact of us not receiving certain forms or written representations from certain reporting persons that they have complied with the relevant filing requirements, we believe that, during the year ended February 29, 2016, one of our two executive officers, directors and greater-than-ten percent stockholders complied with all Section 16(a) filing requirements, that person being Daniel Solomita.Form 10-K.

21

STOCKHOLDER COMMUNICATIONS WITH THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

We have not implemented a formal policy or procedure by which our stockholders can communicate directly with our Board of Directors. Nevertheless, every effort has been made to ensure that the views of stockholders are heard by the Board of Directors or individual directors, as applicable, and that appropriate responses are provided to stockholders in a timely manner. We believe that we are responsive to stockholder communications, and therefore have not considered it necessary to adopt a formal process for stockholder communications with our Board. During the upcoming year, our Board will continue to monitor whether it would be appropriate to adopt such a process.

CODE OF ETHICS

The Company has not adopted a code of ethics that applies to its principal executive officers, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions. The Company has not adopted a code of ethics because it has only commenced operations.
