(Expressed in US Dollars)
1. CORPORATE INFORMATION
Valcent Products Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the Alberta Business Corporations Act on January 19, 1996. The Company’s current business activity is to focus on the continued development and marketing of the Company’s High Density Vertical Growth System (“VerticropTM”) designed to produce vegetables and other plant crops. The Company is listed on the OTC Bulletin Board, having the symbol VCTZF.
The address of the Company’s corporate office and principal place of business is 120 Columbia Street, Vancouver, BC, Canada, V6A 3Z8.
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION
(a) Statement of Compliance
The financial statements of the Company for the year ending March 31, 2012 will be prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”), having previously prepared its financial statements in accordance with pre-changeover Canadian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“pre-changeover Canadian GAAP”). These unaudited condensed interim financial statements (“financial statements”) for the three month period ended June 30, 2011 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting, and as they are part of the Company’s first IFRS annual reporting period, IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards has been applied.
As these financial statements are the Company’s first financial statements prepared using IFRS, certain disclosures that are required to be included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS that were not included in the Company’s most recent annual financial statements prepared in accordance with pre-changeover Canadian GAAP have been included in these financial statements for the comparative annual period. However, these financial statements do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements.
These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s 2010 annual financial statements and the explanation of how the transition to IFRS has affected the reported financial position, financial performance and cash flows of the Company provided in Note 24.
The financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on September 28, 2011.
(b) Basis of Measurement
These condensed interim financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of available-for-sale financial assets.
The condensed interim financial statements are presented in United States dollars, which is also the Company’s functional currency.
The preparation of financial statements in compliance with IFRS requires management to make certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgment in applying the Company’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment of complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed in Note 4.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION (continued)
(c) Going Concern of Operations
The Company is currently seeking additional funding to finance its operations and obligations. Management is considering all possible financing alternatives, including equity financing, debt financing, joint-venture, corporate collaboration and licensing arrangements. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in its future financing attempts.
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of normal business activities and the realization of assets and discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not generated revenues from operations. As such, the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern depends on its ability to successfully raise additional financing. If additional capital is not raised, the going concern basis may not be appropriate with the result that the Company may have to realize its assets and extinguish its liabilities other than in the normal course of business, and at amounts different from those stated in the financial information. No adjustments for such circumstances have been made in the financial information.
3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounting policies set out below are expected to be adopted for the year ending March 31, 2012 and have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these financial statements and in preparing the opening IFRS balance sheet at April 1, 2010 for the purposes of transition to IFRS, unless otherwise indicated.
(a) Principles of consolidation
These interim financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned, integrated subsidiaries, Valcent Products EU Limited and its wholly owned, integrated subsidiary Valcent (EU) Eastern Europe located in Poland and Valcent USA, Inc. and Valcent USA’s wholly-owned, integrated subsidiaries, Valcent Management LLC and Valcent Manufacturing Ltd. All significant inter-company transactions, balances and unrealized gains on transactions have been eliminated. Unrealized losses are also eliminated but considered an impairment indicator of the asset transferred. The accounting policies and year ends of the Company’s subsidiaries are consistent with those applied by the Company.
These financial statements also include the Company’s 50% proportionate share interest of the assets, liabilities, income and expenses of the Vertigro Joint Venture, as described in Note 7.
(b) Foreign currency transactions
Foreign currency accounts are translated into United States dollars as follows:
Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the functional currency at the rate ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rate of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. All differences are taken to the income statement. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the translation of cash, cash equivalents and borrowings denominated in foreign currencies are shown as financing activities on the income statement; all other foreign exchange gains and losses are shown as operating activities.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(b) Foreign currency transactions (continued)
Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the initial transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined and the related translated differences are recognized in net income or other comprehensive loss consistent with where the gain or loss on the underlying non-monetary asset or liability has been recognized.
(c) Segment reporting
A business segment is a Company of assets and operations engaged in providing products or services that are subject to risks and returns that are different from those of other business segments. The directors have determined that the Company operates primarily in one business segment being the research, product development and resale sector. A geographical segment is engaged in providing products or services within a particular economic environment that are subject to risks and returns which are different from those of segments operating in other economic environments. The directors have determined that the Company operates in three geographical segments: Canada, United States and the United Kingdom.
(d) Property, plant and equipment
Recognition and Measurement
On initial recognition, property, plant and equipment are valued at cost, being the purchase price and directly attributable cost of acquisition of construction required to bring the asset to the location and condition necessary to be capable of operating in the manner intended by the Company, including appropriate borrowing costs and the estimated present value of any future unavoidable costs of dismantling and removing items. The corresponding liability is recognized within provisions.
| Property, plant and equipment are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation, less any accumulated impairment losses, with the exception of land which is not depreciated. When parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment. |
| The cost of replacing part of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognized in the carrying amount of the item if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the part will flow to the Company and its cost can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognized. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of property, plant and equipment are recognized in profit or loss as incurred. |

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(d) Property, plant and equipment (continued)
| Major Maintenance and Repairs |
| Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred. |
| Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognized within administrative expenses in the income statement. |
| The Company amortizes its leasehold improvements on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease. Other assets are amortized using the straight-line method over 10 years for building, 5 years for equipment, 3 and 1/3 years for computer equipment and 5 years for furniture and fixtures and automobiles. |
During the year of acquisition, amortization is 50% of amounts otherwise determinable.
The assets’ depreciation methods, residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance sheet date. An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.
(e) Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. For cash flow statement presentation purposes, cash and cash equivalents includes bank overdrafts.
(f) Impairment of Non-Financial Assets
Impairment tests on intangible assets with indefinite useful economic lives are undertaken annually at the financial year end. Other non-financial assets are subject to impairment tests whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. Where the carrying value of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of value in use and fair value less costs to sell, the asset is written down accordingly.
Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the impairment test is carried out on the asset’s cash-generating unit, which is the lowest group of assets in which the asset belongs for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets. The Company has one cash-generating unit for which impairment testing is performed. An impairment loss is charged to the profit or loss, except to the extent they reverse gains previously recognized in other comprehensive loss/income.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(g) Financial Instruments
Financial Assets
Financial assets within the scope of IAS 39 are classified as either financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, held to maturity investments, or available for sale financial assets, as appropriate. When financial assets are recognized initially, they are measured at fair value, plus, in the case of financial assets not at fair value through profit or loss, directly attributable transaction costs. The Company determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition and, where allowed and appropriate, re-evaluates this designation at each financial year end.
Financial Assets at Fair Value through Profit or Loss
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss includes financial assets held for trading and financial assets designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss. The Company considers whether a contract contains an embedded derivative when the entity first becomes a party to it. Embedded derivatives are separated from the host contract which is not measured at fair value through profit or loss when the analysis shows that the economic characteristics and risks of embedded derivatives are not closely related to those of the host contract. Financial assets are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of selling in the near term. Derivatives, including separated embedded derivatives are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments or a financial guarantee contract. Gains or losses on financial assets held for trading are recognized in the income statement.
Loans and Receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market, do not qualify as trading assets, and have not been designated as either fair value through profit and loss or available for sale. After initial measurement loans and receivables are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method less any allowance for impairment. Amortized cost is calculated taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and includes fees that are an integral part of the effective interest rate and transaction costs. Gains and losses are recognized in the income statement when the loans and receivables are derecognized or impaired, as well as through the amortization process.
Available-For-Sale Investments
Non-derivative financial assets not included in the above categories are classified as available-for-sale and comprise principally the Company’s strategic investments in entities not qualifying as subsidiaries or associates. Available-for-sale investments carried at fair value with changes in fair value are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss/income. Where there is a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of an available-for-sale financial asset (which constitutes objective evidence of impairment), the full amount of the impairment, including any amount previously recognized in other comprehensive loss/income, is recognized in profit or loss. If there is no quoted market price in an active market and fair value cannot be readily determined, available-for-sale investments are carried at cost.
Purchases and sales of available-for-sale financial assets are recognized on a trade date basis. On sale or impairment, the cumulative amount recognized in other comprehensive loss/income is reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income/loss to profit or loss.

(g) Financial Instruments (continued)
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged, or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm’s-length transaction.
Fair values of financial instruments traded in active markets are determined based on quoted market prices, where available. Bid prices are used for assets held or liabilities to be issued; asking prices are used for assets to be acquired or liabilities held.
For financial instruments not traded in an active market, fair values are determined based on appropriate valuation techniques. Such techniques may include discounted cash flow analysis, using recent arm’s-length market transactions, reference to the current fair value of another instrument that is substantially the same, and other valuation models. The Company applies a hierarchy to classify valuation methods used to measure financial instruments carried at fair value. Levels 1 to 3 are defined based on the degree to which fair value inputs are observable and have a significant effect on the recorded fair value, as follows:
| · | Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; |
| · | Level 2: Valuation techniques use significant observable inputs, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices), or valuations are based on quoted prices for similar instruments; and |
| · | Level 3: Valuation techniques use significant inputs that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). |
An analysis of fair values of financial instruments is provided in Note 19.
Impairment on Financial Assets
The Company assesses at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or group of financial assets is deemed to be impaired, if, and only if, there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that has occurred after the initial recognition of the asset and that event has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or the group of financial assets.
Financial Liabilities
Financial liabilities are classified as other financial liabilities, based on the purpose for which the liability was incurred, and comprise trade payables and accrued liabilities. These liabilities are initially recognized at fair value net of any transaction costs directly attributable to the issuance of the instrument and subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method, which ensures that any interest expense over the period to repayment is at a constant rate on the balance of the liability carrying in the statement of financial position. Interest expense in this context includes initial transaction costs and premiums payable on redemption, as well as any interest or coupon payable while the liability is outstanding.
Trade and other payables represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Company prior to the end of the period which are unpaid. Trade payable amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 90 days of recognition.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(h) General Provisions
Provisions are recognized when (a), the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, and (b), it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Where the Company expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, the reimbursement is recognized as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to any provision is presented in the income statement net of any reimbursement. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre tax rate that reflects, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as a finance cost.
Income tax expense comprises of current and deferred tax. Current tax and deferred tax are recognized in net income except to the extent that it relates to a business combination, or items recognized directly in equity or other comprehensive loss/income.
Current tax is the expected tax payable or recoverable on the taxable profit or loss for the year, using rates enacted at the balance sheet date and any adjustments to the tax payable in respect of previous years.
Deferred tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, the deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit nor loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realized or the deferred income tax liability is settled.
Deferred income tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized.
Deferred income tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries and associates, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Company and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
(j) Share Capital
Financial instruments issued by the Company are classified as equity only to the extent that they do not meet the definition of a financial liability or financial asset. The Company’s common shares, preferred shares, share warrants and options are classified as equity instruments.
Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

(j) Share Capital (continued)
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company makes equity-settled stock-based payments to certain Company employees under the terms of its employee stock option scheme. In addition to those granted under the Company’s employee stock option scheme, the Company has granted stock options to some advisers. The fair value of options granted to employees is recognized as an employee expense and to advisers as professional fees, with a corresponding increase in equity by way of a credit to contributed surplus.
The fair value is measured at grant date and expensed on a straight-line basis over the expected vesting period. The fair value of the options granted is measured using a Black-Scholes valuation model, taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the options were granted. The amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the actual number of stock options that vest or are likely to vest except where non-exercise is only due to the Company’s share price not achieving the threshold for vesting.
Non-market based vesting conditions are taken into account in estimating the number of options likely to vest. The estimate of the number of options likely to vest is reviewed at each balance sheet date up to the vesting date, at which point the estimate is adjusted to reflect the actual options exercised. No adjustment is made after the vesting date even if the options are not exercised.
Where equity instruments are granted to non-employees, they are recorded at the fair value of the goods or services received in the statement of comprehensive loss/income, unless they are related to the issuance of shares. Amounts related to the issuance of shares are recorded as a reduction of share capital.
When the value of goods and services received in exchange for the share-based payment cannot be reliably estimated, the fair value is measured by use of a valuation model. The expected life used in the model is adjusted, based on management’s best estimate, for the effects of non-transferability, exercise restrictions, and behavioural considerations.
All equity-settled share based payments are reflected in contributed surplus, until exercised. Upon exercise, shares are issued from treasury and the amount reflected in contributed surplus is credited to share capital along with any consideration paid.
Where a grant of options is cancelled or settled during the vesting period, excluding forfeitures when vesting conditions are not satisfied, the Company immediately accounts for the cancellation as an acceleration of vesting and recognizes the amount that otherwise would have been recognized for services received over the remainder of the vesting period. Any payment made to the employee on the cancellation is accounted for as the repurchase of an equity interest except to the extent that the payment exceeds the fair value of the equity instrument granted, measured at the repurchase date. Any such excess is recognized as an expense.

(k) Earnings / loss per share
Basic earnings / loss per share is computed by dividing the net income or loss applicable to common shares of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the relevant period.
Diluted earnings / loss per common share is computed by dividing the net income or loss applicable to common shares of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and all additional common shares that would have been outstanding if potentially dilutive instruments were converted.
(l) Standards, amendments and interpretations not yet effective
Certain pronouncements were issued by the IASB or the IFRS interpretations Committee that are mandatory for accounting periods beginning after January 1, 2011 or later periods.
The Company has early adopted the amendments to IFRS 1 which replaces references to a fixed date of ‘1 January 2004’ with ‘the date of transition to IFRSs’. This eliminates the need for the Company to restate derecognition transactions that occurred before the date of transition to IFRSs. The amendment is effective for year-ends beginning on or after July 1, 2011, however, the Company has early adopted the amendment. The impact of the amendment and early adoption is that the Company only applies IAS 39 derecognition requirements to transactions that occurred after the date of transition.
The following new standards, amendments and interpretations that have not been early adopted in these interim financial statements, will or may have an effect on the Company’s future results and financial position:
| i) | IFRS 9 Financial Instruments |
IFRS 9 Financial Instruments is part of IASB’s wider project to replace IAS 39 ‘Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement’. IFRS 9 retains but simplifies the mixed measurement model and establishes two primary measurement categories for financial assets, amortized cost and fair value. The basis of classification depends on the entity’s business model and the contractual cash flow characteristic of the financial asset. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of the new standard on accounting for the available-for-sale investment.
The following new standards, amendments and interpretations that have not been early adopted in these interim financial statements will not have an effect on the Company’s future results and financial position:
| i) | IFRS 1: Severe Hyperinflation (Effective for periods beginning on or after July 1, 2011) |
| ii) | IAS 12: Deferred Tax: Recovery of Underlying Assets (Amendments to IAS 12 (Effective for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2012) |
| iii) | Amendments to IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (Effective for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013) |

4. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS
The Company makes estimates and assumptions about the future that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities. Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. In the future, actual experience may differ from these estimates and assumptions.
The effect of a change in an accounting estimate is recognized prospectively by including it in comprehensive income in the period of the change, if the change affects that period only; or in the period of change and future periods, if the change affects both.
Information about critical judgments in applying accounting policies that have the most significant risk of causing material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities recognized in the financial statements within the next financial year are discussed below
Significant judgment is required in determining the provision for income taxes. There are many transactions and calculations undertaken during the ordinary course of business for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. The Company recognizes liabilities and contingencies for anticipated tax audit issues based on the Company’s current understanding of the tax law. For matters where it is probable than an adjustment will be made, the Company records its best estimate of the tax liability including the related interest and penalties in the current tax provision. Management believes they have adequately provided for the probable outcome of these matters; however, the final outcome may result in a materially different outcome than the amount included in the tax liabilities.
In addition, the Company recognizes deferred tax assets relating to tax losses carried forward to the extent there are sufficient taxable temporary differences (deferred tax liabilities) relating to the same taxation authority and the same taxable entity against which the unused tax losses can be utilized. However, utilization of the tax losses also depends on the ability of the taxable entity to satisfy certain tests at the time the losses are recouped.
| (b) | Share-based Payment Transactions |
The Company measures the cost of equity settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. Estimating fair value for share-based payment transactions requires determining the most appropriate valuation model, which is dependent on the terms and conditions of the grant. This estimate also requires determining the most appropriate inputs to the valuation model including the expected life of the share option, volatility and dividend yield and making assumptions about them. The assumptions and models used for estimating fair value for share-based payment transactions are disclosed in Note 12.
(c) Valuation of Derivative Instruments
IFRS requires that embedded derivative instruments be bifurcated and assessed, along with free-standing derivative instruments such as warrants and non-employee stock-options to determine whether they should be considered a derivative liability and subject to re-measurement at their fair value. Warrants with such provisions will no longer be recorded to equity. In estimating the appropriate fair value, the Company uses the most appropriate valuation model.

7. PRODUCT LICENSE AND TECHNOLOGY PURCHASE
Effective April 1, 2009, the Company terminated the original License Agreement dated July 29, 2005 and executed a new purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) to acquire all ownership rights and intellectual property relating to its VertiCrop vertical plant growing technology and Tomorrow Garden Kit technology (the “Technologies”) from a former director and officer of the Company, Pagic and West Peak.
Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to pay a total of $2,000,000 and issue 3% of its common shares on conclusion of the purchase agreement. The $2,000,000 is payable on a cumulative basis as to $65,000 on signing (paid) plus the greater of 3% of the gross monthly product sales less returns from exploitation of the Technologies or $12,000 per month until $2,000,000 has been paid. The ownership of the Technologies will remain in escrow until fully paid or if the Company defaults in making payments. The issuance of the 3% of its common shares is payable upon release of the Technologies from escrow to the Company. The Company may at any time elect to pay out the remaining balance due. Should the Company default under this agreement the Technologies will revert back to Glen Kertz and Pagic.
On March 8, 2010, an addendum to the Purchase Agreement (“Addendum”) was entered into by parties thereto whereby:
a) the purchase price of technology to be acquired was amended to an aggregate of $3,150,000 (previously $2,000,000) of which certain equipment was permitted to be used by Pagic as an incentive to enter into the Purchase Agreement (“Addendum”).
b) $100,000 was paid to Pagic by the Company at the date of the Addendum;
c) calculated minimum IP payments increased to $18,000 per month from $12,000 per month effective August 1, 2010; and
d) the term to complete the technology purchased was reduced from July 1, 2019 to July 12, 2014.
During the three months ending June 30, 2010, the Company and the Company’s legal counsel performed a comprehensive review of the Purchase Agreement and the Company’s improved Verticrop technology and concluded that it is not using the intellectual property relating to the vertical plant growing technology as was contemplated in the Purchase Agreement and thus terminated the Purchase Agreement on May 17, 2011.
On July 7, 2010, the Company and its subsidiary Valcent USA and Global Green Solutions Inc. agreed to the wind-up and dissolution of Vertigro Algae Technologies LLC, a Texas Corporation (VAT), through which they had jointly pursued development of a project to use algae as a source for biofuel feedstock and other products. VAT’s technology license agreement with Pagic LP has been terminated.
The main elements from VAT included in the financial statements are accounts payable of $44,029 (March 31, 2011 - $44,029) and expenses of $nil (March 31, 2011 - $nil). There were no assets in VAT as at June 30, 2011 and March 31, 2011.
| During the year ended March 31, 2010, the Company had a receivable due from Global Green in the amount of $657,641. The Company wrote off this receivable as at March 31, 2010 due to collection uncertainty. During the year ending March 31, 2011 the Company recovered $4,100 of this receivable and has included this amount against other bad debts as a recovery in the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss. |

| (a) | $2,168,000 July 2008 Convertible Note |
On July 21, 2008, the Company closed a financing of zero coupon, 12% interest, and senior secured convertible promissory notes in the amount of $2,428,160 with an aggregate purchase price of $2,168,000 with four investors, one of which was the Company’s Chief Financial Officer. The debt is convertible into common shares at the lesser of $9.18 per share (unless the conversion price has been adjusted pursuant to further contract covenants) and 70% of the average of the five lowest closing bid prices for the ten preceding trading days. The Company issued each purchaser in the private placement two warrants - one warrant redeemable by the Company and the other non-redeemable. The non-redeemable warrants are exercisable at $9.90 and permit the holder to purchase 264,506 common shares. The redeemable warrants are exercisable at $13.50 and permit the holder to purchase 132,253 common shares. Further, the Company issued 24,401 non-redeemable warrants, 12,201 redeemable warrants and $160,000 in cash as transaction costs. The warrants carry a term of five years from the date of closing of the financing. The redeemable warrants may be redeemed by the Company at a price of $0.18 per warrant only if certain conditions have been satisfied including the Company’s common shares having closed at $27.00 per share or greater for a period of 20 consecutive trading days and the warrant holder being able to resell the shares acquired upon exercise through a resale registration statement or under Rule 144 of the United States Securities Act.
| Effective March 27, 2009, the Company settled these notes by: |
| • | Settlement of the prepayment penalty, original issuer discounts and interest portions of the convertible note including $524,884 in prepayment penalty, $260,160 in original issuer discounts, and $371,771 in interest which includes the interest payable on the new note through December 31, 2009 for an aggregate settlement of $1,156,815 and agreed to issue 2,892,036 common shares that were restricted from trading and pooled until January 1, 2010; |
| • | Repayment of $400,000 to subscribers (cash paid May 11, 2009); and |
| • | Conversion of $250,000 face value of the original note into 312,500 common shares of the Company. |
| • | Recorded a loss on settlement of debt of $885,292 due to a modification of the original debt terms. |
The terms of the remaining $1,323,000 convertible promissory notes include the following:
| • | If the promissory note was not settled by December 31, 2009, the note would be in default at the default rate of interest rate of 18%, be due on demand and the original conversion feature of the instrument would be reinstated. The debt was not settled by December 31, 2009, and was thus in default. |
| • | If prior to March 31, 2010, the Company issues common shares at a price less than the valuation of the shares issued to each note holder, the Company will issue to each note holder additional common shares based on the lower valuation. |
The convertible debenture was assessed based on the substance of the contractual arrangement in determining whether it exhibits the fundamental characteristics of a financial liability or equity. While the conversion feature represents an equity component, management has assessed that because the

conversion feature can be settled with a variable number of shares and that settlement predicated on a variable number of instruments triggers liability accounting, the conversion feature has been recorded as a liability as at December 31, 2009 when the conversion feature was reinstated. The value of the liability to be recorded is based on the premium of the fair value of the shares to be delivered in the event of a conversion over the fair value of the underlying face value of the debt. On December 31, 2009, the convertible note of $1,968,930 included an embedded derivative liability in the amount of $567,000 as at March 31, 2010 with charge to interest, accretion and fees in the statement of comprehensive loss.
During the year ended March 31, 2010, $10,000 was converted into 21,704 common shares of the Company which were returned to the Company year ended March 31, 2011.
There were no transactions costs to be allocated between the embedded derivative and debt host contract.
On May 31, 2010, a third party purchased from the existing convertible note holders, $634,756 of the convertible notes and $65,244 in accrued interest for aggregate proceeds of $700,000.

11. CONVERTIBLE NOTES (continued) | (b) | $50,000 February 2010 Convertible Note |
On February 16, 2010, the Company issued to a third party an unsecured promissory note bearing interest at the rate of 8% per annum whose terms changed on May 15, 2010 to an unsecured convertible note with a term to February 15, 2012 bearing interest at 8% per annum. Both interest and principal may be converted at the option of the lender at any time after May 15, 2010 at $0.20 per unit, with each unit consisting of one common share and one share purchase warrant exercisable at $0.40 per share for a two-year term from the date of conversion. The convertible debenture was assessed based on the substance of the contractual arrangement in determining whether it exhibits the fundamental characteristics of a financial liability or equity. Since the conversion feature is settled with a fixed number of common shares, the conversion feature has been recorded as an equity component.
The Company used the residual method to allocate a value of $5,496 to the equity component of the convertible note. The fair value of the debt component was determined using an implied market interest rate of 15% which the Company believes is a comparable rate for similar debt without the conversion feature. The equity component is accreted over the life of the note up to $51,020 principal amount using the effective interest rate method.

Each unit consists of one common share and one half of one warrant. One whole warrant is exercisable into one common share at $0.25. The common shares were subject to a six month lock up agreement from the date of issue.

In return for these services, the parties could earn up to 10,000,000 common shares of the Company based on a calculation of total dollars raised over $2,300,000 times 10,000,000. The PP Agreement was later amended, whereby the first 7,000,000 shares earned would be allocated to the new management group as an incentive for them to join the Company. As at March 31, 2011, the Company had a commitment to issue 6,647,195 common shares. The shares were valued at $1,308,569 based on the market price of the shares at the time the shares were earned and charged to stock–based compensation. |
In addition under this PP Agreement the management group and the third party could earn up to 10,000,000 options at an exercise price of $0.15 and an expiry of five years from grant date based on the same formula used for the common shares. As March 31, 2011, the parties were entitled to receive based on completed performance 6,647,195 options. These options have been measured at March 31, 2011 by applying the fair value method using Black-Scholes option pricing model in accounting for options utilizing risk-free interest rate – 2.77%; expected life – 5 years ; expected volatility – 100%; exercise price - $0.15; share price - $0.15 and expected dividends – nil. The Company included the value of the options earned but not granted of, $752,462, as a charge to stock-based compensation in the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss.
These options will continue to be re-measured until the grant and terms have been approved by the Board. On June 30, 2011, these options were re-measured by applying the fair value method using Black-Scholes option pricing model in accounting for options utilizing risk-free interest rate – 2.77%; expected life – 5 years ; expected volatility – 100%; exercise price - $0.15; share price - $0.09 and expected dividends – nil. The Company included the difference in the initial value of the options earned but not granted of, $359,653, as a credit to stock-based compensation in the statement of comprehensive loss.

The Company applies the fair value method using Black-Scholes option pricing model in accounting for warrants utilizing a risk free interest rate of 1.8% and expected volatility of 64%. The warrant extensions resulted in additional compensation expense of $157,530 for the year ended March 31, 2011 which was charged to expenses with a corresponding credit to contributed surplus. These warrants have expired unexercised. |
| (f) | Nature and Purpose of Equity and Reserves |

| ‘Contributed Surplus’ is used to recognize the value of stock option grants and share warrants prior to exercise. |
‘Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss/Income’ includes available-for-sale reserve. This reserve is used to recognize fair value changes in available-for-sale investments.
‘Accumulated Deficit’ is used to record the Company’s change in deficit from earnings from period to period.

The fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying value due to their short-term maturity.
| (a) | Fair Value of Financial Instruments |
The table below provides an analysis by valuation method of financial instruments that are measured at fair value subsequent to recognition. Refer to Note 3(g) for an explanation of the fair value hierarchy applied.

19. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)
| (a) | Fair Value of Financial Instruments (continued) |
The Company’s embedded derivative liability, included within convertible notes (Note 10) is classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy as it is determined using the difference between face value of the principle and the conversion premium, which uses readily observable market inputs.
The conversion feature was separated from the host contract and accounted for as a derivative instrument. The derivative conversion option was valued using a binomial lattice model taking into account underlying unit factors such as conversion price, volatility, risk-free rates, the Company’s credit adjusted rates and dividend yield. On conversion of the debentures the liability amount was allocated to derivative liability.
In assessing the fair value of other financial instruments, the Company uses a variety of methods and makes assumptions that are based on market conditions existing at each balance sheet date. The face values less any estimated credit adjustments for financial assets and financial liabilities with a maturity of less than one year are assumed to approximate their fair values. The fair value of financial liabilities for disclosure purposes is estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows at the current market interest rate available to the Company for similar financial instruments.

24. FIRST TIME ADOPTION OF IFRS
The Company’s financial statements for the year ending March 31, 2012 are the first annual financial statements that will be prepared in accordance with IFRS. IFRS 1, First Time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards, requires that comparative financial information be provided. As a result, the first date at which the Company has applied IFRS was April 1, 2010 (the “Transition Date”). IFRS 1 requires first-time adopters to retrospectively apply all effective IFRS standards as of the reporting date, which for the Company will be March 31, 2012. However, it also provides for certain optional exemptions and certain mandatory exceptions for first time IFRS adoption. Prior to transition to IFRS, the Company prepared its financial statements in accordance with pre-changeover Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (“pre-changeover Canadian GAAP”). In preparing opening IFRS financial statements, the Company has adjusted amounts reported previously in the financial statements prepared in accordance with pre-changeover Canadian GAAP.
Optional Exemptions
The IFRS 1 applicable exemptions and exceptions applied in the conversion from pre-changeover Canadian GAAP to IFRS are as follows:
Business Combinations
The Company elected not to retrospectively apply IFRS 3, Business Combinations, to any business combinations that may have occurred prior to its Transition Date and such business combinations have not been restated.
Share-based Payment Transactions
The Company has elected not to retrospectively separate the liability and equity components of compound instruments for which the liability component is no longer outstanding at the date of transition to IFRS.
Mandatory Exceptions
Derecognition of Financial Assets and Liabilities
The Company has applied the derecognition requirements in IAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, prospectively from the Transition Date. As a result any non-derivative financial assets or non-derivative financial liabilities derecognized prior to the Transition Date in accordance with pre-changeover Canadian GAAP have not been reviewed for compliance with IAS 39.
Estimates
The estimates previously made by the Company under pre-changeover Canadian GAAP were not revised for the application of IFRS except where necessary to reflect any difference in accounting policy or where there was objective evidence that those estimates were in error. As a result the Company has not used hindsight to revise estimates.
Reconciliations of pre-changeover Canadian GAAP Equity and Comprehensive Income to IFRS
IFRS 1 requires an entity to reconcile equity, comprehensive income and cash flows for prior periods. The changes made to the statements of financial position and statements of comprehensive income as shown below have resulted in reclassifications of various amounts on the statements of cash flows, however as there have been no material adjustments to the net cash flows, no reconciliation of the statement of cash flows has been prepared.

IFRS Transition Differences
The following is a summary of the significant accounting differences considered as part of the IFRS transition project and, where appropriate, the quantification of the adjustments required as of the transition date and for the comparative period.
Functional currency and foreign exchange translation
Canadian GAAP requires an entity to determine whether a subsidiary is an integrated or self-sustaining entity based on the functional currency of the parent company. This determination dictates the method of foreign exchange translation for the consolidated financial statements. Under IFRS an entity is required to assess its functional currency independently for each entity within a consolidated group. The Company has completed its assessment and has determined that there is no change to the functional currency of its entities.
Componentization of property and equipment
IFRS requires entities to componentize all long lived assets and record amortization on a component-by-component basis whereas under Canadian GAAP the concept of componentization may not be applied on as rigorous a basis as under IFRS therefore differences in practice may arise. The Company has completed its assessment on all long-lived assets in order to determine if a material difference exists between the application of componentization under Canadian GAAP and that to be applied under IFRS. The Company has determined that there is no material impact.
Asset impairment
Both Canadian GAAP and IFRS require an entity to undertake quantitative impairment testing where there is an indication of impairment. Further there is a requirement under IFRS for the Company to assess whether indicators of impairment exist at the date of transition to IFRS.
Unlike Canadian GAAP, IFRS requires impairment charges to be reversed if circumstances leading to the impairment no longer exist. The Company has no historic impairment charges which could be reversed as of the transition date.
As at the transition date, there were no indications of impairment under IFRS identified by management, therefore no formal quantitative impairment was undertaken.
Adjustments on transition to IFRS:
| (a) | Cumulative translation differences |
At the date of transition under Canadian GAAP there was a cumulative translation adjustment relating to the Company’s change in functional currency in 2011. The Company has chosen to apply the related IFRS 1 election and has eliminated the cumulative translation difference.

Impact on Consolidated Statements of Financial Position

Accumulated other comprehensive income | | $ | (1,896,609 | ) | | $ | (1,896,609 | ) | | $ | (1,896,609 | ) |
Adjustment to deficit | | $ | 1,896,609 | | | $ | 1,896,609 | | | $ | 1,896,609 | |
| (b) | Derivative liability differences |
Under IFRS, certain warrants issued by the Company have a clause that causes the warrants to increase if the Company issues any securities at a price lower than $0.15 and must be classified as liabilities (as they do not meet the definition of an equity instrument) and are recognized at fair value with changes in fair value being recognized as a profit or loss. There is no such requirement under Canadian GAAP as certain warrants issued by the Company meet the definition of an equity instrument.
These warrants were valued based on the Black-Scholes valuation model and are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Impact on Consolidated Statements of Financial Position
| | March 31, 2011 | | | June 30, 2010 | | | April 1, 2010 | |
Derivative liability | | $ | 175,600 | | | $ | - | | | $ | - | |
Adjustment to deficit | | $ | (175,600 | ) | | $ | - | | | $ | - | |
The impact on the statement of comprehensive loss for the year ended March 31, 2011 is a charge of $22,160 for the change in fair value of derivative liability and a charge to interest and financing costs of $197,760. There is no impact to the statement of comprehensive loss for the three months ended June 30, 2010.
