	1. Basis of Presentation

	These unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial reporting and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. They do not include all information and footnotes required by United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statement disclosure. Operating results for the thirteen week period ended March 29, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 27, 2014. These interim unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the information included in the Company’s Form 10-K filed on March 28, 2014 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

	Effective fiscal 2013, the Company began to report quarterly results on a 4-4-5 basis, with the quarter ending on the Saturday closest to the last day of each third month. In fiscal 2014, the Company's first quarter ended on March 29, 2014, the second quarter will end on June 28, 2014, the third quarter will end on September 27, 2014 and the fourth quarter will end on December 27, 2014.

	In the opinion of management, the accompanying interim balance sheet and related interim statement of operations and cash flows include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring items, necessary for their fair presentation in conformity with U.S. GAAP. Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. Actual results and outcomes may differ from management’s estimates and assumptions.

	The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared using U.S. GAAP applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and payment of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred losses since inception of $49,998,644 and further losses are anticipated in the development of its business. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to achieve or maintain profitability. At March 29, 2014 there is a working capital deficiency of $855,510 and future operations are dependent on raising additional funding from debt or equity financings. These factors raise substantial doubt as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

	The Company evaluated events occurring between March 29, 2014 and the date financial statements were issued.

	Recent accounting pronouncements with future effective dates are not expected to have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.

	Convertible Debentures

	On September 20, 2012, the Company completed the offering of $10,051,262 (CAD$10,000,000) convertible debentures (the “September 2012 Debentures”). The September 2012 Debentures mature on September 20, 2017. The September 2012 Debentures bear interest at a rate of 10% per year, payable semi-annually on March 31 and September 30, starting March 31, 2013. As at March 29, 2014, accrued interest of $446,992 (CAD$493,151) (March 30, 2013 - $524,182 (CAD$523,972)) was included in accrued liabilities.

	On February 26, 2013, the Company completed an offering of $4,943,643 (CAD$5,000,000) convertible debentures (the “February 2013 Debentures”). The February 2013 Debentures mature on September 30, 2017. The February 2013 Debentures bear interest at a rate of 10% per year, payable semi-annually on March 31 and September 30, starting September 30, 2013. As at March 29, 2014, accrued interest of $223,521 (CAD$246,575) was included in accrued liabilities. The Company paid a total of $427,049 (CAD$487,830) in cash issuance costs which have been recorded as deferred debt issuance costs.

	Holders of the September 2012 Debentures and February 2013 Debentures have the option to convert the convertible debentures into shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $2.85 (CAD$2.90) per common share at any time prior to the maturity date. The Company may redeem the September 2012 Debentures and the February 2013 Debentures after September 30, 2015 provided that the market price at the time of the redemption notice is not less than 125% of the conversion price. The conversion price is subject to standard anti-dilution provisions.

	The September 2012 Debentures and February 2013 Debentures are secured by a Guaranty and Security Agreement signed with the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Crailar Inc. (“CI”), a Nevada incorporated company. CI has provided a security interest over its assets, having an aggregate acquisition cost of no less than $5,500,000, as security for its guarantee obligation which shall rank in priority to all other indebtedness of CI.

	The September 2012 Debentures and February 2013 Debentures do not contain a beneficial conversion feature, as the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the date of issuance was less than the conversion price. All proceeds from the debentures were recorded as a debt instrument.

	On July 26, 2013, the Company closed a convertible debenture offering for gross proceeds of $3,363,606 (CAD$3,535,000) (the “July 2013 Debentures”). The July 2013 Debentures will mature on July 26, 2016 and will accrue interest at a rate of 10% per year, payable semi-annually on March 31 and September 30 commencing September 30, 2013. In the event the Company completes one or more equity financings between July 26, 2013 and July 26, 2016 with gross proceeds of at least an aggregate of $19.4 million (CAD$20.0 million), the Company must, subject to providing no less than 60 days prior notice to each holder of the July 2013 Debentures, redeem the July 2013 Debentures in whole at face value plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon. As at March 29, 2014, accrued interest of $158,029 (CAD$174,329) was included in accrued liabilities. At the holder’s option, the debentures may be converted into common shares at any time up to the earlier of the maturity date and the business day immediately preceding the date specified by the Company for redemption of the debentures. The conversion price is CAD$1.25 per share.

	In addition, in connection with the July 2013 Debentures, the Company issued 800 transferable common share purchase warrants (each, a “Warrant”) for each $904 (CAD$1,000) of principal amount, resulting in the issuance of an aggregate of 2,828,000 Warrants, with each Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one additional common share (each, a “Warrant Share”) at an exercise price of $2.00 per Warrant Share until July 26, 2016. The Company determined the fair value of the Warrants to be $974,387 (CAD$1,003,910) using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model with the following assumptions: expected dividend yield – 0; expected stock price volatility – 56%; risk-free interest rate – 0.59%; expected life – 2.83 years.

	The proceeds were allocated to the July 2013 Debentures and the Warrants based on their relative fair values and, accordingly, $2,295,309 (CAD$2,757,300) was allocated to the July 2013 Debentures and $754,829 (CAD$777,700) was allocated to the Warrants and recorded as a reduction in the July 2013 Debentures and an increase in additional paid-in capital.

	The Company incurred a total of $440,139 in issuance and commission costs relating to the July 2013 Debentures. This included $373,861 in cash issuance costs and the fair value of warrants to purchase 192,360 common shares issued to a finder of $66,278. The warrants entitle the holder to purchase common shares for $1.25 per share for three years from the date of issuance. The fair value of the warrants was calculated using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model with the following assumptions: expected dividend yield – 0 ; expected stock price volatility – 56%; risk-free interest rate – 0.59%; expected life – 2.83 years. The allocation of the July 2013 Debentures issuance costs were based on the relative fair value of the July 2013 Debentures and the Warrants and, accordingly, $337,469 was allocated to deferred debt issuance costs and $102,670 was allocated to additional paid-in capital during the year ended December 28, 2013.

	The July 2013 Debentures included a continuing security interest in certain of the Company’s assets pursuant to a Guaranty and Security Agreement. On December 17, 2013 the Guaranty and Security Agreement was amended to only provide a security interest in certain specific assets held by the Company which had an acquisition cost of $3,922,240. As consideration for the modification, the conversion price of the debentures was amended to $1.21 (CAD$1.25) per share. The Company determined the fair value of the additional debt discount to be $79,931 using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model with the following assumptions: expected dividend yield – 0 ; expected stock price volatility – 56%; risk-free interest rate – 0.59%; expected life – 2.42 years.

	During the thirteen week period ended March 29, 2014, the Company recorded amortization of the July 2013 Debentures debt discount in the amount of $60,147, which was included in interest expense.

	During the thirteen week period ended March 29, 2014, the Company recorded $101,576 (thirteen week period ended March 30, 2013 - $85,531) in interest expense for the amortization of deferred issuance costs.

	IKEA Supply AG Loan

	During the thirteen week period ended March 29, 2014, the Company received $2,197,153 (€1,597,000) pursuant to a loan agreement entered into with IKEA Supply AG (“IKEA”) with an effective date of November 29, 2013. The loan bears an interest rate of 1.9% per annum and is payable in monthly installments of $15,118 (€11,000) from December 20, 2014 through June 20, 2016 with the remainder due in full on June 25, 2016. IKEA agreed to loan the Company $3,028,300 (€2,190,000), leaving $831,147 (€593,000) as an unused credit facility.
