1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
In this Report, unless the context otherwise requires, the terms the "Company" and "Dynamotive" refer to Dynamotive Energy Systems Corporation and its subsidiaries. The Company is listed on the over-the-counter bulletin board (OTCBB) under the symbol: DYMTF.OB. The executive office of the Company is Suite 230 – 1700 West 75th Avenue, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada V6P 6G2 (Telephone: 1-604-267-6000).
Dynamotive was incorporated on April 11, 1991 under the laws of the Province of British Columbia. The Company changed its name from Dynamotive Technologies Corporation on June 26, 2001. Dynamotive is focused on the development of innovative energy solutions on its patented fast pyrolysis system. The Company’s focus is to commercialize its patented BioOil production technology and establish this technology for production of BioOil clean fuels.
Dynamotive Energy Systems Corporation (the “Company” and or “Dynamotive”) is commercializing a biomass-to-liquid fuel conversion using a process known as “Fast Pyrolysis” which uses biomass or biomass waste feedstocks to produce BioOil as a fuel and char. BioOil is a clean, renewable fuel which can replace natural gas, diesel and other fossil fuels in certain applications to produce power, mechanical energy and heat in industrial boilers, fuel gas turbines and fuel reciprocating engines. The Company aims to unleash significant amounts of energy production, in the form of BioOil fuels, based upon utilization of abundant biomass waste streams from agricultural and forest operations and other post-industrial biomass residues. The process of biomass to energy conversion is sustainable, renewable and greenhouse gas neutral, and competes with other renewable energy sources such as wind, hydro and solar. One significant advantage of biomass ene rgy over other renewable forms of energy, is that biomass is capable of delivering energy on a 24/7 basis, whereas wind, hydro and solar energy sources are all subject to natural weather fluctuations.
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Dynamotive Canada Inc., federally incorporated under the laws of Canada; Dynamotive Corporation, incorporated under the laws of Rhode Island, U.S.A.; Dynamotive USA Inc. incorporated under the laws of Delaware, U.S.A.; Dynamotive Latinoamericana S.A., incorporated under the laws of Buenos Aires, Argentina; First Resources Corporation, incorporated under the laws of British Columbia, Canada; Dynamotive Biomass Resource Corporation, incorporated under the laws of British Columbia, Canada. In addition, the Company maintains an 80% ownership interest in Dynamotive Europe Limited, formally known as Dynamotive Technologies (UK) Ltd, incorporated in the United Kingdom and owns a 99.98% interest in the West Lorne BioOil Co-Generation LP, formed under the laws of Ontario, Canada. Dynamotive Canada Inc. acts as the General Partner of the Limited Partnership, which oper ates the West Lorne BioOil and electricity generation plant.
These financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which presumes the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations for the foreseeable future.

2. UNAUDITED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The unaudited balance sheet at September 30, 2008 and the unaudited interim statements of loss and statement of changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, in the opinion of management, have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2007. These interim financial statements include all adjustments necessary for the fair statement of results of the interim periods. The data disclosed in the notes to the interim consolidated financial statements for this period are also unaudited. Results for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2007, and the summary of significant acco unting policies included therein.
The accounts of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries are measured using the Canadian dollar as the functional currency. Monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into Canadian dollars using exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and non-monetary items are translated using historical exchange rates. Exchange gains or losses arising on the translation or settlement of foreign currency denominated monetary items are included in the determination of net income.
The Company uses the U.S. dollar as the reporting currency for its consolidated financial statements. Assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars using current exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and revenue and expense accounts are translated using the average exchange rate during the nine months. Gains and losses resulting from this process are recorded in shareholders’ deficit as an adjustment to the cumulative translation adjustment account.
3. CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted the new CICA guidelines of Section 1506, Accounting Changes, which establishes standards for changes in accounting policies, estimates, or errors. As a result of adopting this new standard, changes in accounting policies are only permitted when required by a primary source of GAAP or when the change will result in more reliable and more relevant information. In addition, changes in accounting policies must be applied retrospectively (unless doing so is impractical or is specified otherwise by a new standard), changes in estimates are to be recorded prospectively, and prior period errors are to be corrected retrospectively. There were no changes in policies or estimates during the period, except for those new standards adopted and noted below.
(b) Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted the new CICA guidelines of Section 1535, Capital Disclosures, which requires companies to disclose their objectives, policies and processes for managing capital, quantitative data about what the entity regards as capital, and whether companies have complied with externally imposed capital requirements and, if not in compliance, the consequences of such non-compliance.
The Company’s objective when managing capital is to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders.
The Company considers the items included in the consolidated statement of changes in shareholders equity as capital. The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in the light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may issue new shares through private placements, sell assets to reduce debt or return capital to shareholders. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

3. CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)
(c) Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted the CICA guidelines of Section 3862, Financial Instruments – Disclosures, and Section 3863, Financial Instruments – Presentation. These standards replace CICA 3861, Financial Instruments – Disclosure and Presentation.
These standards increase the disclosures currently required, which will enable users to evaluate the significance of financial instruments for an entity’s financial position and performance, including disclosures about fair value. In addition, disclosure is required of qualitative and quantitative information about exposure to risks arising from financial instruments, including specified minimum disclosures about credit risk, liquidity risk, and market risk. The quantitative disclosures must provide information about the extent to which the company is exposed to such risk, based on information provided internally to the entity’s key management personnel.
(i) Financial Assets and Liabilities
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, long-term loan receivable accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and short-term debt. Cash and cash equivalents are designated as held for trading and therefore carried at fair value, with the unrealized gain or loss recorded in income. Interest income and expense are both recorded in income and expenditure respectively.
The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and short-term debt approximate carrying value because of the short term nature of these instruments. The fair value for the long-term loan receivable represents the balance outstanding as the full repayment received in July 2008 (see note 3). There are no differences between the carrying values and the fair values of any financial assets or liabilities.
(ii) Financial Instrument Risk Exposure and Risk Management
The Company is exposed in varying degrees to a variety of financial instrument related risks. The Board approves and monitors the risk management process. The type of risk exposure and the way in which such exposure is managed is provided as follows:
Credit Risk:
The Company is primarily exposed to credit risk on trade receivables. Credit risk exposure is limited.
Liquidity Risk:
The Company has no operating income and relies on equity fund-raising to support its commercialization projects. Management prepares budgets and ensures funds are available prior to commencement of any such projects.
Market Risk:
The significant market risk exposures to which the Company is exposed are foreign exchange risk and interest rate risk, and commodity price risk.

3. CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)
Foreign Currency Risk - The Company’s operations primarily in Canada with some activities in the USA, Argentina and the United Kingdom, and makes it subject to foreign currency fluctuations. The Company’s operating expenses are incurred in Canadian dollars, United States dollars (“US dollars”), Argentine pesos and British Pounds, and the fluctuation of the Canadian dollar in relation to these currencies will have an impact upon the profitability of the Company and may also affect the value of the Company’s assets and the amount of shareholders’ equity. The Company has not entered into any agreements or purchased any instruments to hedge possible currency risks.
Interest Rate Risk - The Company has minimal debt and virtually no floating rate debt and so exposure to interest rate risk is minimal at this time.
Commodity Price Risk – The Company’s BioOil and Char outputs may be sold at various prices, some of which may be at prices directly or indirectly tied to fossil fuel commodity prices such as heating oil #2, natural gas, diesel oil and others. To date the Company’s sales have been on fixed price contracts and so currently has little or no exposure to commodity price risk.
4. LOAN RECEIVABLE
On November 14, 2007, the Company and Biomass Worldwide Limited (“Biomass”) and Anthony Pius Noll (“Guarantor”) entered into a negotiation commitment and loan agreement where the Company will loan Biomass up to $720,000 in five tranches (to be completed by April 12, 2008) on the understanding that if the parties are able to reach a definitive agreement in respect of an equity investment by the Company in Biomass, all the loan will be converted into not less than 30% of the equity of Biomass. If the Company was unable to agree upon an equity conversion with Biomass, 72% of the loan would be repaid together with interest at 6% p.a. compounded semi-annually. The other 28% of the loan (plus interest at 6% p.a. compounded semi-annually) would, at the election of Biomass, be either (i) converted into equity of Biomass at “fair value” or (ii) converted into a 3% royalty on gross sales of any products or services of Biomass or the Guarantor which use or incorporate Biomass’ or the Guarantor’s intellectual property until the amount was repaid with interest. The due date for repayment of the loan was on demand any time on or after March 7, 2008. The loan was secured by a pledge of all of the assets of Biomass and by an unconditional guarantee of the Guarantor. A total of $520,000 was advanced to Biomass under the loan and in July 2008, the loan of $520,000 was repaid in full to the Company.

In April, 2006, the Company entered into a convertible loan agreement whereby it loaned $250,000 to Rika Ukraina Ltd to fund its wholly owned subsidiary’s (Rika Biofuels Ltd.) biomass development activities. In December, 2006, an additional $80,000 was loaned under the same terms. The loan is unsecured and bears interest at 6% per annum. The principal and interest was originally due no later than July 15, 2006 however, the repayment was extended to May, 2007. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company has the option to convert the principal and any accrued interest into a 50% ownership interest in Rika Biofuels Ltd. at any time the loan is outstanding and it is the Company’s intention to convert the loan. For the period ended September 30, 2008, the entire long-term advance of $330,000 (2007 - $330,000) remains outstanding.

As at September 30, 2008, Dynamotive holds 3,874,139 (2007 – 3,874,139) common shares of Renewable Energy Corp (“ROC”) incorporated in Victoria, Australia, a subsidiary of Enecon Pyrolysis Pty Limited. It represents approximately an 8.0% (2007 – 8.0%) interest in the entity.
6. LONG TERM DEFERRED ASSET
In April 2007, the Company entered into amended agreements with Erie Flooring and Wood Products (“Erie”) regarding the supply by Erie of wood chips to the West Lorne BioOil plant over the next 12 years at no charge and the provision of char from the BioOil plant to Erie at no charge. In relation to these agreements, Dynamotive has paid for the purchase and installation of a char based boiler system and related char delivery infrastructure at Erie. The asset will be amortized evenly over the life of the wood supply contract.
To facilitate the purchase of the boiler system, the Company borrowed $359,000 from Erie. This amount is being repaid to Erie in equal monthly payments plus 8% interest over a 10-year period. The first payment was made in May 2007. As at September 30, 2008, the Company owed Erie $308,142.

7. GUARANTEE PROVIDED BY DYNAMOTIVE
In 2001, Border Biofuels Limited (“BBL”) a company 75% owned by Dynamotive, entered into a credit facility with Bank of Scotland for a maximum of $356,040 (£200,000). The credit facility is denominated in British Pounds Sterling. Interest is charged at the bank’s base rate plus 3%. The credit facility is guaranteed by the Company. During 2002 BBL became insolvent. If the Bank is unable to realize on its security with BBL, it has the right to seek settlement from the Company for payment. Although there is currently no indication that the Bank will pursue the Company, the Company has recognized the full amount of the guarantee as a current liability and included the impact as part of the 2002 (December) loss from discontinued operations. As BBL remains in liquidation at September 30, 2008, there has been no change in status regarding the settlement of the credit facility.

8. SHORT TERM DEBT
During the first nine months of 2008, the Company entered into loan agreements with directors, officers and shareholders for $1,725,514 (2007 - $nil). The loans are due on demand and bear interest at 8% per annum for the amount of $962,234 and at 23% per annum, the borrowing cost of the lender, for the amount of $763,280. Effective October 1, 2008, all of these funds bear interest at 8%.
On October 31, 2008 a portion of the short term debt was transferred into a convertible debenture. (see note 15)
9. ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATION
The Company expects that at the end of the life of its production plants, there will be residual obligations to remediate the sites and remove equipment. Although the timing and amount of the future obligations are uncertain, the Company has estimated the present value of these future obligations arising from its activities to September 30, 2008 to be $256,262 (2007 - $nil), being $128,131 for West Lorne and $128,131 for Guelph. The present value of the future obligations assumes a discount rate of 15%, an inflation rate of 2% and the commencement of reclamation activities in 15 years. The Company commenced accretion of these obligations at January 1, 2008.
10. DEFERRED REVENUE
In 2006, the Company received a total of $950,000 in non-refundable payments from three unrelated companies as licensing fees. $500,000 from Rika Ltd. as payment for a Master License to develop project opportunities in the Ukraine and the Baltic republics using Dynamotive’s patented pyrolysis technology; $150,000 from Classic Power Inc. as an initial payment on a Plant License for Guelph, Ontario, Canada; $200,000 from Renewable Oil Corporation Pty Ltd. (“ROC”) for a Master License to develop project opportunities in Australia and $100,000 from ROC as a deposit on an initial Plant License.
In the first quarter of 2008, the Company recognized Rika Ltd. master license fee of $500,000 at the end of the agreement term, and this amount has been removed from the deferred revenue balance.
In 2007, deferred revenue was net of $330,000 advanced to entities controlled by Rika Ltd. With recognition of the Rika payments as revenue in the first quarter of 2008, these amounts advanced to Rika are now classified as a long-term investment (note 4).
In 2007, the Company received common shares of ROC with a fair value of $300,000 as compensation for engineering services performed. The Company subsequently transferred common shares of ROC with a fair value of $150,000 to a sub-contractor as partial settlement for services provided to ROC by the sub-contractor on behalf of the Company. These amounts are included in deferred revenue.

11. SHARE CAPITAL (CONT’D)
Expected volatilities are based on historical volatility of the Company’s stock using available data and other factors. The risk-free interest rate is based on Canadian Treasury Instruments. As the Company does not currently pay cash dividends on common stock and does not anticipate doing so in the foreseeable future, the expected dividend yield is zero. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise, forfeiture and employee termination within the valuation model. For non-employees, the expected life of the options approximates the full term of the options.
