1. Nature of Business and Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
Valcent Products Inc. (A Development Stage Company) (the “Company”) was incorporated under the Alberta Business Corporations Act on January 19, 1996 and was in the business of marketing its interactive dating service “Cupid’s Web” until March 24, 2004 when these operations were discontinued due to difficulties encountered in raising adequate financing. During the year ended March 31, 2006, the Company acquired a series of product licenses to certain proprietary technology owned by a related party (see Note 5) and the development of these products has been the Company’s primary business focus. In order to facilitate the business plan, the company formed a wholly-owned Nevada corporation, Valcent USA, Inc. to conduct operations in the United States in November 2006. In turn, Valcent USA, Inc. incorporated Valcent Management, LLC, and a wholly-owned limited liability corporation under the laws of Nevada, to serve as the general partner in Valcent Manufacturing Ltd., a limited partnership also formed by Valcent USA, Inc., under the laws of Texas, wherein Valcent USA, Inc. serves as its limited partner. Valcent Products EU Limited was incorporated by Valcent Products Inc. in the domicile of England to conduct future anticipated operations in Europe.
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going-concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. As of December 31, 2006, the Company has accumulated losses totaling $11,922,155. The continuation of the Company is dependent upon the economic development and sales of the products underlying its product license as well as the Company’s ability in obtaining long-term financing. While the Company is using its best efforts to achieve the above plans, there is no assurance that any such activity will generate funds that will be available for operations.
These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going-concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might arise from this uncertainty.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (“Canadian GAAP”). The significant accounting policies used in these consolidated financial statements are as follows:
| a) | Principles of Consolidation |
These financial statements include the accounts of the Valcent Products Inc., its wholly-owned subsidiary Valcent USA, Inc., Valcent USA, Inc.’s wholly-owned subsidiary Valcent Management, LLC and limited partnership, Valcent Manufacturing Ltd., in which Valcent Management, LLC is the general partner and Valcent USA, Inc. is the limited partner (together “the Company”). All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
| b) | Product development costs |
The Company expenses all costs related to its product development until such time as the economic viability of the product is demonstrated and thereafter will capitalize and expense additional development costs over the expected economic useful life of the product.
The Company amortizes its leasehold improvements on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease and buildings over ten years. Computer equipment and furniture and fixtures are depreciated under the declining balance method as to 30% and 20%, respectively, with 50% taken during the year of acquisition.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
| d) | Foreign currency transactions and translation |
Amounts denominated in US dollars have been translated into Canadian dollars as follows:
| i. | Monetary assets and liabilities, at the year end exchange rates; |
| ii. | Non-monetary assets and liabilities, at exchange rates approximating those prevailing on the dates of the transactions; and |
| iii. | Revenue and expense items, at the average rate of exchange for the period. |
The preparation of these financial statements in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from management’s best estimates as additional information becomes available in the future.
The Company uses the “Treasury Stock Method” to calculate loss per common share. Under this method, the basic loss per share is calculated based on the weighted average aggregate number of common shares outstanding during each period. The diluted earnings per share assume that the outstanding stock options and share purchase warrants had been exercised at the beginning of the period to the extent that they are dilutive. The assumed conversion of stock options and share purchase warrants has an anti-dilutive impact in both 2005 and 2006 and has not been recorded.
| g) | Stock-based compensation |
The Company has adopted the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (“CICA”) Handbook Section 3870, Stock-Based Compensation and Other Stock-Based Payments, which recommends the fair value-based methodology for measuring compensation costs. The new section also permits, and the Company has adopted, the use of the intrinsic value-based method, which recognizes compensation cost for rewards to employees only when the market price exceeds the exercise price at the date of the grant, but requires pro-forma disclosure of the earnings and earnings per share as if the fair value method had been adopted.
The Company has adopted the recommendations of the CICA Handbook Section 3465, Income taxes, which requires use of the liability method. Under this method, income taxes reflect the deferral of such taxes to future years. The deferral is a result of temporary differences, which arise when certain costs are claimed for tax purposes in different time periods than the related amounts are amortized in the accounts.
| i) | Non-monetary consideration |
In situations where share capital is issued or received, as non-monetary consideration and the fair value of the asset received, or given up is not readily determinable, the fair market value (as defined) of the shares is used to record the transaction. The fair market value of the shares issued, or received, is based on the trading price of those shares on the appropriate Exchange on the date of the agreement to issue shares as determined by the Board of Directors.

3. Financial Instruments
The Company’s primary financial instruments consist of cash, receivables, inventories, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, due to related parties, long term debt and convertible notes. Unless otherwise noted, it is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest or credit risks arising from these instruments. The Company maintains the fair values of cash, receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, long term debt, due to related parties and convertible notes at their approximate carrying values due to the immediate short-term maturity of these instruments. It is not practicable to determine the fair value for amounts due to related parties.
4. Current Assets
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable as at December 31, 2006 consists of amounts due from Global Green Solutions, Inc. and recoverable service taxes.
Inventories
The inventory totaled $1,128,130 as at December 31, 2006 as compared to $0 at March 31, 2006. The inventories as of December 31, 2006 consisted primarily of raw materials ($1,001,489), work in progress ($108,066), and finished goods ($18,575).
Prepaid Expenses
Prepaid expenses consists primarily of capitalized advertising costs related to the development of the Company’s infomercial that will be used to distribute the Company’s Nova Skin Care System. The advertising costs will be amortized over the expected term of media distribution that is yet to be determined. As at December 31, 2006, advertising media distribution costs were in testing phases, and no amortization of costs capitalized have been expensed.
5. Property and equipment
A summary of property and equipment was as follows:
| | Estimated Useful Lives (Years) | | December 31, 2006 | | March 31, 2006 |
Land | | - | $ | 274,992 | $ | - |
Buildings | | 10 | | 73,150 | | |
Leasehold improvements | | 3 | | 20,847 | | 20,876 |
Computer and other equipment | | 3-5 | | 34,746 | | 28,821 |
Furniture and fixtures | | 7 | | 51,735 | | 23,012 |
| | | | 455,469 | | 72,709 |
Accumulated depreciation | | | | (31,080) | | (9,382) |
Total property and equipment | | | $ | 424,390 | $ | 63,327 |

6. Product License
On July 29, 2005, the Company completed a licensing agreement for the exclusive worldwide marketing rights to a Skincare System, a Duster, a Garden Kit and a right of first offer on future products developed by MK Enterprises LLC. The Company agreed to issue MK Enterprises LLC and its assignees 20 million common shares at a deemed cost of $1,000,000 of which 12,398,675 have been issued with the balance reserved for issuance and included in share subscriptions. The Company also paid the partnership a $125,000 (USD) upfront license fee and $125,000 in costs related to the development of the products since March 17, 2005, both of which were paid during the year ended March 31, 2006. In addition, the Company has agreed to pay royalties in the amount of $10 (USD) per Skincare System unit sold, $2 (USD) per Duster sold and 4.5% of the net sales of the Garden Kit. In addition the Company has agreed to pay a royalty of 3% of net sales related to ancillary product sales from these products. For future products developed by MK Enterprises LLC that the Company elects to acquire the rights to, it has agreed to pay a royalty of 4.5% of net sales of the new product plus 3% of net sales from ancillary product sales. Also in order to keep the products under license, the Company has agreed to a minimum royalty schedule per product for each of the Skincare System, Duster and Garden Kit and their related ancillary products of $37,500 for the second license year and $50,000 per year thereafter. For any new products acquired from MK Enterprises, the Company will be subject to minimum royalties of $50,000 per year beginning in the second year. In order to maintain the Master License in good standing the Company has agreed that the total amount of royalties and any other fees paid to MK Enterprises LLC shall be a minimum of $400,000 (USD) per year.
7. Convertible Notes
To provide working capital for the purchase of the Product Licenses, discussed in Note 6, and to further the development of the Company’s consumer products, the Company issued the following:
| 1. | In July 2005 and August 2005, $1,277,200 (USD) in 8% per annum convertible notes and stock purchase warrants whereby for each $0.75 (USD) in convertible note purchased the holder will receive one class A warrant which will entitle him to purchase an additional common shares at $0.50 (USD) until August 5, 2008 and one class B warrant which will entitle him to purchase an additional common shares at $1.00 (USD) until August 5, 2008. The holders of the convertible notes may, subject to trickle out provisions, elect to convert note and any unpaid interest into common shares of the Company at the lesser of (i) 70% of the average of the five lowest closing bid prices for the common stock for the ten trading days prior to conversion and (ii) $0.55 (USD). The Company may, subject to notice provisions and the common shares trading above $1.50 (USD) per share for more than twenty consecutive trading days, elect to payout the notes and interest due by paying 130% of the amount due under notes plus interest. |
In conjunction with this financing, the Company paid finders fees in the amount of 10% of the gross proceeds which was included in investor relations during the year ended March 31, 2006 and issued 425,735 common shares at a deemed value of $285,242. There are 255,440 Finders A warrants whereby the holders shall have the right to purchase 255,440 common shares at $0.50 (USD) per share until August 5, 2008 and 425,733 finders B warrants whereby the holders shall have the right to purchase 425,733 common shares at $0.75 (USD) per share until August 5, 2008. As a result of the issuance of the warrants in conjunction with the convertible notes, the Company recorded a non cash financing expense of $631,515 in the year ended March 31, 2006. During the quarter ended December 31, 2006, convertible notes and interest totaling $666,934 were converted to 2,077,532 common shares.

7. Convertible Notes, (continued)
| 2. | On April 6, 2006 we consummated a private offering transaction with and among a syndicated group of institutional investors, pursuant to which we issued, in the aggregate, $551,666 (USD) in 8% per annum convertible notes and three year warrants to acquire (i) up to 735,544 shares of our common stock at a price per share of $0.50 (USD), and (ii) up to an additional 735,544 shares of our common stock at a price per share of $1.00 (USD). Subject to certain limitations, the principal amount of the notes, together with any accrued interest may be converted into shares of our common stock at the lesser of (i) seventy percent (70%) of the average of the five lowest closing bid prices for our common stock for the ten trading days prior to conversion, or (ii) $0.55 (USD). The convertible notes carry a redemption feature which allows us to retire them, in whole or in part, for an amount equal to 130% of that portion of the face amount being redeemed, but only in the event that our common shares have a closing price of $1.50 (USD) per share for at least twenty consecutive trading days and there has otherwise been no default. The common stock purchase warrants carry a “net cashless” exercise feature allowing the holder thereof, under certain limited circumstances, to exercise the warrants without payment of the stated exercise price, but rather solely in exchange for the cancellation of that number of common shares into which such warrants are exercisable. |
In conjunction with these private offering transactions, we also paid a finders’ fees of (i) $55,166 (USD) in cash, representing 10% of the gross proceeds realized, (ii) 183,886 shares of common stock, (iii) three-year warrants to purchase up to 110,320 shares of common stock at a price per share of $0.50 (USD) and (iv) three year warrants to purchase up to 183,867 shares of common stock at a price per share of 0.75 (USD). As a result of the issuance of the warrants in conjunction with the convertible notes, the Company recorded a non cash financing expense of $964,671 in the quarter ended June 30, 2006.
In conjunction with the private placement, we reached a verbal agreement with the syndicated group of institutional and other investors, wherein we agreed to convert the accruing penalties associated with the July 25, 2005 through August 5, 2005 transactions, an aggregate of $82,200 (USD), into convertible penalty notes carrying terms similar to those notes issued in the original series of private offering transactions, and in addition to issue each investor one three-year penalty warrant for each $0.75 (USD) of penalties owed to purchase, in the aggregate, up to an additional 109,600 shares of common stock at a price per share of $0.75 (USD).
| 3. | Certain of the July 2005 and August 2005 convertible notes contained registration rights whereby the Company agreed to pay a penalty of 2% for every thirty days after a required filing and registration date. The Company filed the required registration statement on April 27, 2006 and as such has incurred penalties. As part of the April 6, 2006 agreement and the verbal agreement, we also granted certain additional registration rights whereby the Company has agreed to pay a penalty 2% of the outstanding amount for every thirty days after the April 20, 2006 registration date plus a reduction in the warrant price of certain of the warrants issued of $0.10. These filing and registration requirements were not met on a timely basis and a total of $260,750 in penalties has been accrued. In addition, the warrant prices noted above have been reduced from $0.50 (USD) and $1.00 (USD) to $0.40 (USD) and $0.90 (USD), respectively. The registration statement became effective on February 28, 2007. See Note 13, Subsequent Events. |

| 4. | During the third quarter of 2006, the Company accepted subscriptions of USD$1,500,000 towards a private placement of 8% per annum convertible notes and three year warrants to acquire (i) up to an aggregate of 2,000,000 shares of our common stock at a price per share of $0.50 (USD), and (ii) up to an additional 2,000,000 shares of our common stock at a price per share of $1.00 (USD). Subject to certain limitations, the principal amount of the notes, together with any accrued interest may be converted into shares of our common stock at the lesser of (i) seventy percent (70%) of the average of the five lowest closing bid prices for our common stock for the ten trading days prior to conversion, or (ii) $0.55 (USD). The convertible notes carry a redemption feature which allows us to retire them, in whole or in part, for an amount equal to 130% of that portion of the face amount being redeemed, but only in the event that our common shares have a closing price of $1.50 (USD) per share for at least twenty consecutive trading days and there has otherwise been no default. The common stock purchase warrants carry a “net cashless” exercise feature allowing the holder thereof, under certain limited circumstances, to exercise the warrants without payment of the stated exercise price, but rather solely in exchange for the cancellation of that number of common shares into which such warrants are exercisable. |

(c) Stock options
Pursuant to the Company’s 1996 Incentive Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”), as amended, a total of 10% of the Company’s issued common shares are reserved for the granting of stock options. The Plan provides that the terms of the options and the option price shall be fixed by the Directors, subject to any price restrictions or other requirements imposed by any exchange where the Company lists its common shares. The Plan also provides that no options shall be granted to any person except on the recommendation of the board of directors and that no option may be granted for a period in excess of five years. During the year ended March 31, 2006, the Company instituted a new stock option plan applicable to residents of the United States (the US Plan) and options may be issued under this plan to acquire up to an aggregate number of shares, which when combined with options granted under the Plan equal to 10% of the issued number of common shares. The terms of the options and the option price of the US Plan are to be fixed by the Directors, subject to a limitation that no one individual may be granted options to receive greater than 5% of the issued number of common shares.
On December 14, 2006, the Company replaced its existing Canadian and US stock option plans with a new single stock option plan (the “2006 Plan). The 2006 Plan allows for share options to be issued to company employees, directors, officers, and consultants on both a qualified and non-qualified basis. The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock as to which Options and Bonuses may be granted from time to time under the 2006 Plan shall not exceed 20% (the “Plan Maximum”) of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock. In addition, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which Incentive Stock Options may be granted shall not exceed 3,100,000 shares out of the Plan Maximum. The 2006 Plan is designed to encourage our directors, executive officers, consultants and other key employees to acquire a proprietary interest in the company. Our 2006 Plan is administered by the Board of Directors, or a committee designated thereby, and reserve for issuance thereunder, in the aggregate, a total of 20% of our issued and outstanding common shares, on a non-diluted basis, to be increased or decreased as the number of our issued and outstanding shares change. Our new stock option plan provides that the terms of the options and the option prices shall be fixed by the Board or committee and subject to the requirements of the exchange on which our common shares are traded, or any other governing regulatory body, at the time of exercise. Options granted shall expire after a period of five years or terminate three months after the recipient ceases to be our employee.
