1. | Financial Statement Presentation, Nature of Business, and Ability to Continue as a Going-Concern Valcent Products Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the Alberta Business Corporations Act on January 19, 1996. The Company is in the development stage and is engaged principally in the development and marketing of consumer and industrial products and processes for global markets. The Company had previously been pursuing various business opportunities and effective March 24, 2004 discontinued those operations. During the year ended March 31, 2006, the Company acquired a license to certain proprietary technology (Note 5). The development of these products has been the Company’s primary business. While the information presented in the accompanying interim financial statements is unaudited, it includes all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods presented. These interim financial statements follow the same accounting policies and methods of their application as the March 31, 2007 annual financial statements. They do not, however, conform in all respects to the requirements of Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for annual statements and as such these statements should be read in conjunction with our March 31, 2008 annual financial statements. The Company considers its development stage operations to have commenced during fiscal 2006. During the year ended March 31, 2006, the Company also formed a wholly owned Nevada corporation, Valcent USA, Inc. to conduct operations in the United States. In turn Valcent USA, Inc. incorporated Valcent Management, LLC, a wholly owned limited liability company 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. During the year ended March 31, 2007, the Company incorporated Valcent Products EU Limited in England to conduct future anticipated operations in Europe. These interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) applicable to a going-concern, which assumes the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. As at June 30, 2008, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $26,615,554 (2007 - $18,842,508) and a working capital deficiency of $4,887,347 (2007 - $3,815,856). The Company’s ability to continue as a going-concern is dependent upon the economic development of its products, the attainment of profitable operations, and the Company’s ability to obtain financing. These interim consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that would be necessary to the carrying values and classification of assets and liabilities should the Company be unable to continue as a going-concern. |

2. | Significant Accounting Policies These interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian GAAP, certain of the significant accounting policies used in these consolidated interim financial statements are as follows: |
| (a) | Principles of consolidation These interim financial statements include the accounts of Valcent Products Inc. and its wholly owned, integrated subsidiaries, Valcent Products EU Limited (“Valcent EU”) and Valcent USA, Inc. (“Valcent USA”), and Valcent USA’s wholly-owned, integrated subsidiaries, Valcent Management LLC (“Valcent Management”) and Valcent Manufacturing Ltd. (“Valcent Manufacturing”), in which Valcent Management is the general partner and Valcent USA is the limited partner. All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated. These interim consolidated financial statements also include the Company’s proportionate share of the assets, liabilities, income and expenses of the Vertigro Joint Venture, as described in Note 7. |
| (b) | Research and product development costs Research costs are expensed as incurred. At this time, development costs, which meet Canadian GAAP criteria including reasonable assurance regarding recoverability, are capitalized and amortized over the expected economic useful life of the product. No development costs have been deferred to date. As the Company is in the development stage, any revenue derived from the test marketing and development of products is considered to be an expense recovery and is, therefore, netted against product development costs. |
| (c) | Cash and cash equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid financial instruments with a maturity of 90 days or less from the date purchased to be cash equivalents. |
| (d) | Property and equipment The Company amortizes its leasehold improvements on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease. Other assets are amortized using the declining balance method at an annual rate of 10% for building, 20% for equipment, 30% for computer equipment, 20% for furniture and fixtures, and 20% for automobiles. During the year of acquisition, amortization is 50% of amounts otherwise determinable. |
| (e) | Foreign currency transactions and translation The Company’s functional and reporting currency is the Canadian dollar. Amounts recorded in foreign currencies are translated into Canadian dollars as follows: |
| (i) | Monetary assets and liabilities, at the year-end exchange rates; |
| (ii) | Non-monetary assets and liabilities, at historical exchange rates; and |
| (iii) | Revenue and expense items, at the average rate of exchange by quarter except for amortization of property and equipment, which is translated at the same rate as the related asset. |
| | Gains and losses arising from the translation of foreign currency are included in operations for the year. |

2. | Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) |
| (f) | Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Canadian GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant areas requiring the use of estimates include allowance for doubtful accounts, the net realizable value of inventories, impairment of property and equipment, rates of amortization, fair value of product license, amount of accrued liabilities, the variables used to calculate interest, accretion and financing costs on convertible notes, the variables used to calculate the fair value of stock-based compensation, and the determination of the valuation allowance for future income tax assets. While management believes the estimates are reasonable, actual results could differ from those estimates and could impact future results of operations and cash flows. |
| (g) | Loss per share Loss per share is calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. The Company uses the treasury stock method for calculating diluted earnings per share. Under this method, the dilutive effect on earnings per share is recognized on the use of the proceeds that could be obtained upon exercise of options, warrants and similar instruments. It assumes that the proceeds would be used to purchase common shares at the average market price during the period. Diluted loss per share is not presented where the effect of conversion on exercise of options and warrants and similar instruments would be anti-dilutive. |
| (h) | Stock-based compensation The Company accounts for stock-based compensation expense using the fair value based method with respect to all stock-based payments to directors, employees and non-employees, including awards that are direct awards of stock and call for settlement in cash or other assets, or stock appreciation rights that call for settlement by the issuance of equity instruments. Under this method, stock-based payments are recorded as an expense over the vesting period or when the awards or rights are granted, with a corresponding increase to contributed surplus. When stock options are exercised, the corresponding fair value is transferred from contributed surplus to share capital. |

2. | Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) |
| (i) | Non-monetary consideration In situations where common shares are issued and the fair value of the goods or services received is not readily determinable, the fair value of the common shares is used to measure and record the transaction. The fair value of the common shares issued in exchange for the receipt of goods and services is based on the stock price as of the earliest of: |
| (i) | the date at which the counterparty’s performance is complete; |
| (ii) | the date at which a commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the common shares is reached; or |
| (iii) | the date at which the common shares are issued if they are fully vested and non-forfeitable at that date. |
| (j) | Impairment of long-lived assets Long-lived assets are reviewed whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. An impairment loss would be recognized when the carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value, with fair value generally based on future discounted cash flows. |
| (k) | Revenue recognition Revenue from the sales of products is recognized when the product has been delivered to the purchaser, the price is fixed or determinable, and when collectability is reasonably assured. Sales during the development stage are netted against product development costs (Note 3(b)). Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis as earned at the stated rate of interest of the investment over the term to maturity. |
| (l) | Changes in accounting policies There have been no changes in accounting policies during the three months ended June 30, 2008. |
3. | Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable consists of: $104,820 (2007 $71,841), net of allowance for doubtful accounts of $56,441 (2007 $0), from test sales relating to the Company’s Nova Skin Care System; $517,662 (2007 $204,760) from the Global Green Solutions Inc. (“Global Green”), the Company’s joint venture partner in the development of the Company’s High Density Vertical Bio-Reactor technology (“Vertigro”); $87,561 (2007 $27,552) in value added tax owed to a subsidiary, Valcent Products EU Limited; and goods and services tax receivable by Valcent Products, Inc. |

5. | Product License On July 29, 2005, the Company completed a licensing agreement (“Agreement”) for the exclusive worldwide marketing rights to the Nova Skincare System, a Duster, the Tomorrow Garden Kit and a right of first offer on future products developed by Pagic LP (“Pagic”), formerly MK Enterprises LLC, a private company with a director in common. In conjunction with the Agreement, the Company agreed to issue Pagic and its assignees 20,000,000 common shares at a deemed cost of $1,000,000, based on the historical cost of the license, of which 11,611,975 shares were issued during the year ended March 31, 2006 and the balance during the year ended March 31, 2007. Of the 20,000,000 common shares issued, 9,428,205 common shares were issued to parties that became related parties to the Company. As part of the Agreement, the Company is committed to pay Pagic and its assignees, royalties of US$10 per Nova Skincare System unit sold, US$2 per Duster unit sold and 4.5% of Tomorrow Garden Kit net sales. In addition, the Company must pay a royalty of 3% of net sales related to ancillary product sales from these products. If the Company elects to acquire the rights to future products developed by Pagic, they must pay a royalty of 4.5% of net sales of the new product plus 3% of net sales from ancillary product sales. |

5. | Product License (Continued) In order to keep the products under license, the Company must pay a minimum royalty for each of the Nova Skincare System, Duster and Tomorrow Garden Kit and their related ancillary products of US$37,500 beginning April 1, 2007 and US$50,000 per year thereafter. For any new products acquired they will be subject to minimum royalties of US$50,000 per year beginning April 1, 2007. To keep the overall master license in good standing, the total of royalties and all other fees paid to Pagic shall be at least US$400,000 per year beginning April 1, 2007. During the year ended March 31, 2008, $565,135 (2007 - $269,745) was paid or accrued to Pagic under the terms of the license. During the three months ended June 30, 2008, $71,256 was paid or accrued to Pagic LP. Due to uncertainty in determining future cash flows related to products under license, the Company, during the year ended March 31, 2008, wrote-down the value of the product license by $1,306,074 to $1. |
6. | Prepaid Expenses Prepaid expenses as at June 30, 2008 consists of $1,447,414 (2007 - $182,427), which is the deferred portion of investor relations and business consulting services agreements, $85,063 of prepaid rent and equipment deposits relating to the operations of Valcent UK operations, with the balance consisting of $11,939 (2007 - $0) in prepaid insurance and rental deposits. |
7. | Vertigro Joint Venture On October 2, 2006, the Company entered into a letter agreement replaced on July 9, 2007 by the Vertigro Algae Stakeholders Letter of Agreement, (together “LOA”) with Pagic, West Peak Ventures of Canada Limited (“West Peak”) and Global Green, whereby Global Green agreed to fund the next phase of the development of a high density vertical bio-reactor technology. Pursuant to the LOA, the Company and Global Green established a commercial joint venture named “Vertigro” in which Global Green agreed to provide up to US$3,000,000 in initial funding to continue the research and development of the bio-reactor technology, construct a working prototype of the bio-reactor and develop the technology for commercial uses. The Company is obligated to provide product support, research and development, and the non-exclusive use of the Company’s properties and lands for which Global Green has agreed to reimburse the Company as part of its US$3,000,000 initial funding commitment. Until such time as the joint venture has fully repaid to Global Green the US$3,000,000, Global Green shall receive 70% of the net cash flow generated by anticipated future operations after which each of Global Green and the Company will hold a 50% interest in the Vertigro, subject to an aggregate 4.5% royalty to Pagic and West Peak. Vertigro covers the bio-reactor technology and any subsequent related technologies for the commercial scale products of algae based biomass for all industrial commercial and retail applications including, but not limited to bio-fuel, food, health, pharmaceutical, and animal and agricultural feeds. |

7. | Vertigro Joint Venture (Continued) Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement for Vertigro Algae Technologies, LLC On May 5, 2008, Valcent USA and Global Green signed a Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement (“New Operating Agreement”) replacing the LOA to form Vertigro Algae Technologies, LLC (“Vertigro Algae”), a Texas LLC, which is the formalized operating entity for the previous unincorporated operations of Vertigro. The business activities of Vertigro Algae will be the same as when the operations were under Vertigro. Under the New Operating Agreement, Global Green and the Company will each hold a 50% stake in Vertigro Algae, and have committed to fund project development according to ownership allocation.

The holders of the convertible notes may elect to convert the notes 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) US$0.55.

The Company may, subject to notice provisions and the common shares trading above US$1.50 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 the notes plus interest. The common stock purchase warrants carry a “net cashless” exercise feature (“Cashless Conversion 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. As a result of the issuance of the warrants in conjunction with the convertible notes, the Company recorded a non-cash financing expense of $1,328,337. These convertible notes are unsecured, and due on demand. |
