Loop Industries, Inc.

Three and Six Months Ended August 31, 2018 and 2017

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

1. The Company, Basis of Presentation and Going Concern

The Company

Loop Industries, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (“Loop” or the “Company”) is a technology company focused on sustainability. Its mission is to accelerate the world’s shift toward sustainable plastic and away from dependence on fossil fuels. Loop has created a technology poised to disrupt the plastics industry. This technology decouples plastic from fossil fuels by depolymerizing waste polyester plastic to its base building blocks (monomers). The monomers are then repolymerized to create virgin-quality polyester plastic that meets FDA requirements for use in food-grade plastic packaging and to produce polyester fiber for textile applications. Loop branded polyester resin is designed to allow consumer packaged goods companies to meet and exceed their stated sustainability goals and circular ambitions.

Common shares of the Company are listed on the NASDAQ Global Market under the symbol “LOOP.”

Basis of presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company has been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements. The balance sheet information as at February 28, 2018 is derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and related notes for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2018, which is included in Item 8 of the Company’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 14, 2018. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with those financial statements. In the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended August 31, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending February 28, 2019.

Intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated on consolidation.

Going Concern

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. As reflected in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company has not yet begun commercial operations and does not yet have a recurring source of revenue. Since inception, the Company has accumulated a deficit of $28.3 million and during the six months ended August 31, 2018, the Company incurred a net loss of $7.1 million and used cash in operations of $3.9 million, which raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

At the current stage of its development, Loop is a pre-revenue company, with its ongoing operations being financed by raising new equity capital. To date, the Company has been successful in raising capital to finance its ongoing operations.

As at August 31, 2018, the Company had cash on hand of $2.9 million. Management is evaluating its plans to continue to raise financing, the proceeds from which would be used to finance the start-up of its commercial operations and fund the further development of its ongoing pre-revenue operations. There can be no assurance that any future financing will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to the Company.

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not reflect the adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the reported expenses and balance sheet classifications that would be necessary if the Company were unable to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities as a going concern in the normal course of operations. Such adjustments could be material.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Those estimates and assumptions include estimates for depreciable lives of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, analysis of impairments of recorded intangible assets, accruals for potential liabilities and assumptions made in calculating the fair value of stock-based compensation and other stock instruments.

Foreign currency translations and transactions

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars, the reporting currency of the Company. Assets and liabilities of subsidiaries that have a functional currency other than that of the Company are translated to U.S. dollars at the exchange rate as at the balance sheet date. Income and expenses are translated at the average exchange rate of the period. The resulting translation adjustments are included in other comprehensive income (loss) (“OCI”). As a result, foreign currency exchange fluctuations may impact operating expenses. The Company currently has not engaged in any currency hedging activities.

The following table summarizes the exchange rates used:

	Three Months Ended August 31,				Six Months Ended August 31,
	2018		2017		2018		2017
Period‑end Canadian $: US dollar exchange rate	$	0.77	$	0.80	$	0.77	$	0.80
Average period Canadian $: US dollar exchange rate	$	0.77	$	0.76	$	0.77	$	0.76

Expenditures are translated at the average exchange rate for the period presented.

Sales tax and tax credits receivable

The Company is registered for the Canadian federal and provincial goods and services taxes. As such, the Company is obligated to collect, and is entitled to claim sales taxes paid on its expenses and capital expenditures incurred in Canada. As at August 31, 2018 and February 28, 2018, the computed recoverable sales taxes amounted to $122,589 and $177,903, respectively.

Research and development expenses

Research and development expenses relate primarily to the development, design, testing of preproduction samples, prototypes and models, compensation, and consulting fees, and are expensed as incurred. Total research and development costs recorded during the three and six months ended August 31, 2018 amounted to $1.1 million and $2.1 million, respectively (2017 – $1.0 million and $1.4 million, respectively).

Net earnings (loss) per share

The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with FASB ASC 260, Earnings Per Share. Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. The Company includes common stock issuable in its calculation. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if all dilutive potential common shares had been issued, using the treasury stock method. Potential common shares are excluded from the computation if their effect is antidilutive.

 

F-6

For the three and six months ended August 31, 2018 and 2017, the calculations of basic and diluted loss per share are the same as potential dilutive securities would have an antidilutive effect. The potentially dilutive securities consisted of 2,345,957 outstanding warrants as at August 31, 2018 (2017 – 2,004,582).

Recently adopted accounting pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014‑09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2014‑09 will eliminate transaction and industry‑specific revenue recognition guidance under current U.S. GAAP and replace it with a principle‑based approach for determining revenue recognition. On August 12, 2015, the FASB delayed the required implementation to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 but now permitted organizations, such as the Company to adopt earlier. ASU 2014‑09 will require that companies recognize revenue based on the value of transferred goods or services as they occur in the contract. The ASU will also require additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. Entities can transition to the standard either retrospectively or as a cumulative‑effect adjustment as at the date of adoption. The Company has adopted ASU 2014‑09 on March 1, 2018 on a full retrospective basis and its adoption did not have any impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016‑01, Financial Instruments – Overall (Subtopic 825‑10) Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which will significantly change practice for all entities. The targeted amendments to existing guidance are expected to include:

1.	Equity investments that do not result in consolidation and are not accounted for under the equity method would be measured at fair value through net income, unless they qualify for the proposed practicability exception for investments that do not have readily determinable fair values.
2.	Changes in instrument‑specific credit risk for financial liabilities that are measured under the fair value option would be recognized in other comprehensive income.
3.	Entities would make the assessment of the realizability of a deferred tax asset (“DTA”) related to an available‑for‑sale (“AFS”) debt security in combination with the entity’s other DTAs. The guidance would eliminate one method that is currently acceptable for assessing the realizability of DTAs related to AFS debt securities. That is, an entity would no longer be able to consider its intent and ability to hold debt securities with unrealized losses until recovery.
4.	Disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost would no longer be required for entities that are not public business entities.

For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this Statement has not had an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

F-7

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718) Scope of Modification Accounting, which amends the guidance in Topic 718 to clarify when a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award requires the application of the guidance in Topic 718. The amendments provide that an entity shall account for the effects of a modification of a share-based payment award unless all the following conditions are met:

a.	The fair value (or calculated value or intrinsic value, if such an alternative measurement method is used) of the modified award is the same as the fair value (or calculated value or intrinsic value, if such an alternative measurement method is used) of the original award immediately before the original award is modified. If the modification does not affect any of the inputs to the valuation technique that the entity uses to value the award, the entity is not required to estimate the value immediately before and after the modification.
b.	The vesting conditions of the modified award are the same as the vesting conditions of the original award immediately before the original award is modified.
c.	The classification of the modified award as an equity instrument or a liability instrument is the same as the classification of the original award immediately before the original award is modified.

For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The company adopted ASU 2017-09 on March 1, 2018. The adoption of the standard had no impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, which permits entities to reclassify the disproportionate income tax effects of the Tax Reform Act on items within accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) ("AOCI") to retained earnings. These disproportionate income tax effect items are referred to as "stranded tax effects." Amendments in this update only relate to the reclassification of the income tax effects of the Tax Reform Act. Other accounting guidance that requires the effect of changes in tax laws or rates to be included in net income from continuing operations is not affected by this update. ASU 2018-02 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2019 and should be applied either in the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period in which the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate in the Tax Reform Act is recognized. The Company does not expect that ASU 2018-02 will have an impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The amendments in this Update expand the scope of Topic 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. An entity should apply the requirements of Topic 718 to nonemployee awards except for specific guidance on inputs to an option pricing model and the attribution of cost (that is, the period of time over which share-based payment awards vest and the pattern of cost recognition over that period). The amendments specify that Topic 718 applies to all share-based payment transactions in which a grantor acquires goods or services to be used or consumed in a grantor’s own operations by issuing share-based payment awards. The amendments also clarify that Topic 718 does not apply to share-based payments used to effectively provide (1) financing to the issuer or (2) awards granted in conjunction with selling goods or services to customers as part of a contract accounted for under Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The amendments in this Update are effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that fiscal year. The Company does not expect that ASU 2018-07 will have an impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-09, Codification Improvements, which clarify certain amendments to guidance that may have been incorrectly or inconsistently applied by certain entities and includes Amendments to Subtopic 718-740, Compensation – Stock Compensation – Income Taxes. The guidance in paragraph 718-740-35-2, as amended by the amendments in ASU 2016-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, is unclear on whether an entity should recognize excess tax benefits (or tax deficiencies) for compensation expense that is taken on the entity’s tax return. The amendment to paragraph 718-740-35-2 in this Update clarifies that an entity should recognize excess tax benefits in the period in which the amount of deduction is determined. The amendments in this Update are effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that fiscal year. The Company does not expect that this update will have an impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Employment Agreement

On June 29, 2015, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Daniel Solomita, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer. The employment agreement is for an indefinite term.

The Company and Mr. Solomita entered into an amendment and restatement of the employment agreement on July 13, 2018. The amended and restated employment agreement provides for an increase in Mr. Solomita’s base salary and eligibility to participate in an annual cash bonus subject to performance measures. Mr. Solomita’s base salary and bonus opportunity are deemed retroactively effective to March 1, 2018. For the three and six months ended August 31, 2018, compensation expense for the Company’s CEO amounted to $116 thousand and $234 thousand, respectively, inclusive of the retroactive adjustment in accordance with the employment agreement as amended and restated on July 13, 2018. For the three and six months ended August 31, 2017, compensation expense was $45 thousand and $90 thousand, respectively.

In addition, the employment agreement provided for a long-term incentive grant of 4,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, upon the achievement of certain performance milestones. This was modified to provide a grant of 4,000,000 restricted stock units covering 4,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock while the performance milestones remained the same. The Company’s board of directors approved the grant of the restricted stock units, effective and contingent upon approval by the Company’s shareholders at the Company’s 2019 annual meeting of an increase in the number of shares available for grant under the Plan. The restricted stock units vest upon the achievement of applicable performance milestones. During the six months ended August 31, 2018 and 2017, no milestones were deemed probable of being met and, accordingly, the Company did not record any compensation expense in relation to the restricted stock units.

Introduction

Loop is an innovative technology company focused on sustainability. Our mission is to accelerate the world’s shift toward sustainable plastic and away from its dependence on fossil fuels, essentially enabling a truly circular economy.

Loop’s patented technology decouples the production of PET/Polyester plastic from fossil fuels by depolymerizing waste PET plastic and polyester fiber into its base building blocks. The monomers are then re-polymerized into virgin-quality PET plastic that meets FDA requirements for use in food-grade plastic packaging such as water and soda bottles. Our monomers can also be re-polymerized to produce polyester fiber for textile applications.

Our technology uses waste PET plastics such as water bottles, soda bottles, consumer packaging, carpets, polyester textiles and industrial waste as feedstock to process. These feedstocks are available through municipal triage centers, industrial recycling and landfill reclamation projects.

Loop’s technology allows for low value and no value waste PET plastics to be upcycled into high value PET packaging for consumer goods companies. Our low energy depolymerization technology specifically targets PET/Polyester plastic allowing for the removal of all impurities, such as colors/dyes, labels and all organic and inorganic waste.

Prospective Future Growth

The annual global demand for polyester is estimated at 70 million metric tons (approximately 154 billion pounds) and is expected to grow 4% annually in the near term. This represents a total addressable market of approximately $130 billion today, with near term attractive growth rates. We expect to help address this demand by commercializing our science and technology in collaboration with multinational supply chain management and manufacturing companies and to manufacture Loop™ branded PET resin.

During the last three years, we believe we have positioned Loop to be a leader in sustainability and the circular economy. We built our pilot plant in Terrebonne, Canada to optimize and showcase our proprietary depolymerization technology and completed the expansion of our pilot plant to increase its capacity and demonstrate continuous operations.

In June 2018, we activated our breakthrough Generation II technology that we believe is significantly more streamlined and efficient with reduced energy use that eliminates water in the production of dimethyl terephthalate. We also engaged engineering partners to complete the design of the world’s first integrated waste-to-Loop™ PET resin manufacturing facility to upcycle waste PET and polyester fiber into virgin quality Loop PET resin and polyester fiber. These new world-class manufacturing facilities will use our Generation II technology and production processes and provide what we believe to be a fully integrated start-to-finish process to commercialize our innovative science and technology.

In September 2018, we reached a significant milestone in our global commercialization plan when we announced the creation of a joint-venture with Indorama Ventures Public Company Limited (IVL) to manufacture and commercialize sustainable polyester resin to meet the growing global demand from beverage and consumer packaged goods companies. This joint-venture brings together IVL’s world-class manufacturing footprint and our proprietary science and technology with a goal of becoming a reliable world leader in the circular economy for sustainable and recycled PET resin and polyester fiber. The 50:50 joint-venture has an exclusive world-wide license to use our technology to retrofit existing facilities to produce sustainably produced PET resin and polyester fiber with plans to begin commercial production in the first quarter of 2020. We expect that production from the facility will be fully subscribed by leading global consumer brands. This partnership is a key strategic step in our global commercialization plan and is focused on retrofitting existing Polyester and PET manufacturing facilities.

Our goal is to negotiate take-or-pay contracts with global consumer goods companies for the sale of Loop™ branded resin, and enable them to achieve their timeline and stated goals for sustainability.

We are continuing to invest in further optimizing our technology and developing our organizational strength and depth. Our research and development innovation hub in Terrebonne, Canada will continue optimizing our current technology as well as innovating into new areas of sustainability.

Net loss for the three months ended August 31, 2018 increased $1.4 million to $3.5 million compared to the same period last year, primarily due to increased general and administrative expenses of $1.3 million.

Research and development expenses remained relatively stable and amounted to $1.1 million and $1.0 million for the three months ended August 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended August 31, 2018 increased $1.3 million to $2.4 million as compared to the same period last year. The increase was primarily due to higher employee related expenses of $0.8 million resulting from the increased number of employees as well as a retroactive compensation adjustment associated with the amended employment agreement of the Company’s CEO and higher non-cash stock-based compensation expense, in addition to higher legal fees related to commercialization efforts, and consulting and accounting fees of $0.5 million.

The following table summarizes our operating results for the six months ended August 31, 2018 and 2017.

Net loss	$	(7,067,940	)	$	(3,699,054	)	$	(3,386,886	)

Net loss for the six months ended August 31, 2018 increased $3.4 million to $7.1 million compared to the same period last year, primarily due to increased research and development costs of $0.7 million as well as increased general and administrative expenses of $2.8 million.

Research and development expenses for the six months ended August 31, 2018 increased $0.7 million to $2.1 million compared to the same period last year. The increase in research and development expenses was driven primarily by higher non-cash stock-based compensation expense of $0.4 million and higher compensation expense of $0.1 million resulting from the increased number of employees.

General and administrative expenses for the six months ended August 31, 2018 increased $2.8 million to $4.7 million as compared to the same period last year. The increase was primarily due to higher employee related expenses of $1.3 million, comprised mainly of non-cash stock-based compensation expense as well as higher compensation expense related to the increased number of employees and a retroactive compensation adjustment associated with the amended employment agreement of the Company’s CEO. Other elements explaining the increase include higher legal fees related to legal proceedings and commercialization efforts, and consulting, accounting and public company related fees of $1.3 million.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Liquidity and Going Concern Assumption

At the current stage of our development, we are a pre-revenue company, and our ongoing operations are being financed by raising new outside capital. As at August 31, 2018, we had cash on hand of $2.9 million.

Management continues to be positive about its growth strategy and is evaluating its financing plans to continue to raise capital to finance the start-up of commercial operations and continue to fund the further development of its ongoing operations.

As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, we have not yet begun commercial operations and do not yet have a recurring source of revenue. Since inception, we have accumulated a deficit of $28.3 million and during the six months ended August 31, 2018, we incurred a net loss of $7.1 million and used cash in operations of $3.9 million, which raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. There can be no assurance that any future financing will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to us.

Flow of Funds

Summary of Cash Flows

A summary of cash flows for the six months ended August 31, 2018 and 2017 was as follows:

	Six Months Ended August 31,
	2018			2017
Net cash used in operating activities	$	(3,908,623	)	$	(2,269,615	)
Net cash used in investing activities		(1,104,970	)		(168,002	)
Net cash (used) provided by financing activities		(26,808	)		6,844,372
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash		(191,846	)		60,409
Net (decrease) increase in cash	$	(5,232,247	)	$	4,467,164

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities

During the six months ended August 31, 2018, we used $3.9 million in operations compared to $2.3 million, the year prior. The increase is mainly due to increased operating expenses previously itemized as we move to the next phase of commercialization.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

During the six months ended August 31, 2018, the Company made capital asset investments of $1.1 million, primarily in connection with the expansion of our pilot plant.

Net Cash (Used) Provided by Financing Activities

During the six months ended August 31, 2018, we repaid $27 thousand of our long-term debt. During the six months ended August 31, 2017, we raised $6.8 million through the sale of additional common stock and the exercise of warrants.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As at August 31, 2018, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in the rules and regulations of the SEC.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are subject to risks associated with currency fluctuations and changes in foreign currency exchange rates as well as fluctuations in the supply and price of raw materials and commodity prices.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

We operate mainly through two entities, Loop Industries, Inc., which is a Nevada corporation and has a U.S. dollar functional currency, and our wholly-owned subsidiary, Loop Canada Inc. (“Loop Canada”), which is based in Terrebonne, Québec, Canada and has a Canadian dollar functional currency. Our reporting currency is the U.S. dollar.

We mainly finance our operations through the sale and issuance of shares of common stock of Loop Industries, Inc. in U.S. dollars while our operations are concentrated in our wholly-owned subsidiary, Loop Canada. Accordingly, we are exposed to foreign exchange risk as we maintain bank accounts in U.S. dollars and a significant portion of our operational costs (including payroll, site costs, costs of locally sourced supplies and income taxes) are denominated in Canadian dollars.

Significant fluctuations in U.S. dollar to Canadian dollar exchange rates could materially affect our result of operations, cash position and funding requirements. To the extent that fluctuations in currency exchange rates cause our results of operations to differ materially from our expectations or the expectations of our investors, the trading price of our common stock could be adversely affected.

From time to time, we may engage in exchange rate hedging activities in an effort to mitigate the impact of exchange rate fluctuations. As part of our risk management program, we may enter into foreign exchange forward contracts to lock in the exchange rates for future foreign currency transactions, which is intended to reduce the variability of our operating costs and future cash flows denominated in currencies that differs from our functional currencies. We do not enter into these contracts for trading purposes or speculation, and our management believes all such contracts are entered into as hedges of underlying transactions. Nonetheless, these instruments involve costs and have risks of their own in the form of transaction costs, credit requirements and counterparty risk. If our hedging program is not successful, or if we change our hedging activities in the future, we may experience significant unexpected expenses from fluctuations in exchange rates. Any hedging technique we implement may fail to be effective. If our hedging activities are not effective, changes in currency exchange rates may have a more significant impact on the trading price of our common stock.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Management’s Evaluation of our Disclosure Controls and Procedures

A. Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded as of the evaluation date that our disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting were effective as at August 31, 2018. During the quarter, we completed the remediation of our previously reported material weakness disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed on May 14, 2018, and in our Quarterly report on Form 10-Q, filed on July 3, 2018. The material weakness related to our accounting for stock-based compensation. Management has expanded its in-house expertise on accounting for stock-based compensation, as well as engaged an external advisor to advise on more complex stock-based compensation arrangements.

B. Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recent quarter that materially affected, or were reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On January 27, 2017, a claim was filed against us by two individuals (the “Plaintiffs”), in the Los Angeles Superior Court, seeking damages for breach of contract, breach of implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, and promissory fraud, asserting entitlement to two million shares of our common stock in connection with an alleged oral agreement for consulting services. The Plaintiffs filed a motion to further amend their complaint, which was granted on July 25, 2018 and which has delayed the trial date from September 12, 2018 to May 8, 2019 in the Los Angeles Superior Court. Although the plaintiffs are seeking two million shares of the Company’s common stock, punitive damages and attorneys’ fees, the Company is currently unable to estimate the amount or dollar range of potential loss or recovery, if any, which might result if the final determination of this matter is favorable or unfavorable. We believe that this case lacks merit and intend to continue to defend it vigorously. We have not yet determined what effect this lawsuit will have on our financial position or results of operations.

From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. Except as noted above, we are not presently a party to any legal proceedings, government actions, administrative actions, investigations or claims that are pending against us or involve us that, in the opinion of our management, could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business.

It is possible that we may expend financial and managerial resources in the defense of our intellectual property rights in the future if we believe that our rights have been violated. It is also possible that we may expend financial and managerial resources to defend against claims that our products and services infringe upon the intellectual property rights of third parties.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

We are subject to various risks and uncertainties in the course of our business. Risk factors relating to us are set forth under “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed on May 14, 2018 and below. Other than as set forth below, no material changes to such risk factors have occurred during the six months ended August 31, 2018.

Although our financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, we must raise additional capital to fund our operations in order to continue as a going concern.

Our consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended August 31, 2018 includes going concern disclosures, indicating that our current liquidity position raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. If we are unable to improve our liquidity position we may not be able to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result if we are unable to continue as a going concern and, therefore, be required to realize our assets and discharge our liabilities other than in the normal course of business which could cause investors to suffer the loss of all or a substantial portion of their investment.

In order to have sufficient cash to fund our operations, we will need to raise additional equity or debt capital in order to continue as a going concern and we cannot provide any assurance that we will be successful in doing so.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

On May 31, 2018, we issued 35,797 shares of our common stock upon the vesting of 35,797 restricted stock units pursuant to the 2017 Equity Incentive Plan. The shares and the warrants were issued pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES

None.

ITEM 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES

Not applicable.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION

None.

The Company, Basis of Presentation and Going Concern

6 Months Ended

Aug. 31, 2018

Notes to Financial Statements

Note 1. The Company, Basis of Presentation and Going Concern

The Company

Loop Industries, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (“Loop” or the “Company”) is a technology company focused on sustainability. Its mission is to accelerate the world’s shift toward sustainable plastic and away from dependence on fossil fuels. Loop has created a technology poised to disrupt the plastics industry. This technology decouples plastic from fossil fuels by depolymerizing waste polyester plastic to its base building blocks (monomers). The monomers are then repolymerized to create virgin-quality polyester plastic that meets FDA requirements for use in food-grade plastic packaging and to produce polyester fiber for textile applications. Loop branded polyester resin is designed to allow consumer packaged goods companies to meet and exceed their stated sustainability goals and circular ambitions.

Common shares of the Company are listed on the NASDAQ Global Market under the symbol “LOOP.”

Basis of presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company has been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements. The balance sheet information as at February 28, 2018 is derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and related notes for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2018, which is included in Item 8 of the Company’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 14, 2018. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with those financial statements. In the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended August 31, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending February 28, 2019.

Intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated on consolidation.

Going Concern

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. As reflected in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company has not yet begun commercial operations and does not yet have a recurring source of revenue. Since inception, the Company has accumulated a deficit of $28.3 million and during the six months ended August 31, 2018, the Company incurred a net loss of $7.1 million and used cash in operations of $3.9 million, which raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

At the current stage of its development, Loop is a pre-revenue company, with its ongoing operations being financed by raising new equity capital. To date, the Company has been successful in raising capital to finance its ongoing operations.

As at August 31, 2018, the Company had cash on hand of $2.9 million. Management is evaluating its plans to continue to raise financing, the proceeds from which would be used to finance the start-up of its commercial operations and fund the further development of its ongoing pre-revenue operations. There can be no assurance that any future financing will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to the Company.

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not reflect the adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the reported expenses and balance sheet classifications that would be necessary if the Company were unable to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities as a going concern in the normal course of operations. Such adjustments could be material.

Notes to Financial Statements

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Those estimates and assumptions include estimates for depreciable lives of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, analysis of impairments of recorded intangible assets, accruals for potential liabilities and assumptions made in calculating the fair value of stock-based compensation and other stock instruments.

Foreign currency translations and transactions

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars, the reporting currency of the Company. Assets and liabilities of subsidiaries that have a functional currency other than that of the Company are translated to U.S. dollars at the exchange rate as at the balance sheet date. Income and expenses are translated at the average exchange rate of the period. The resulting translation adjustments are included in other comprehensive income (loss) (“OCI”). As a result, foreign currency exchange fluctuations may impact operating expenses. The Company currently has not engaged in any currency hedging activities.

The following table summarizes the exchange rates used:

	Three Months Ended August 31,				Six Months Ended August 31,
	2018		2017		2018		2017
Period-end Canadian $: US dollar exchange rate	$	0.77	$	0.80	$	0.77	$	0.80
Average period Canadian $: US dollar exchange rate	$	0.77	$	0.76	$	0.77	$	0.76

Expenditures are translated at the average exchange rate for the period presented.

Sales tax and tax credits receivable

The Company is registered for the Canadian federal and provincial goods and services taxes. As such, the Company is obligated to collect, and is entitled to claim sales taxes paid on its expenses and capital expenditures incurred in Canada. As at August 31, 2018 and February 28, 2018, the computed recoverable sales taxes amounted to $122,589 and $177,903, respectively.

Research and development expenses

Research and development expenses relate primarily to the development, design, testing of preproduction samples, prototypes and models, compensation, and consulting fees, and are expensed as incurred. Total research and development costs recorded during the three and six months ended August 31, 2018 amounted to $1.1 million and $2.1 million, respectively (2017 – $1.0 million and $1.4 million, respectively).

Net earnings (loss) per share

The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with FASB ASC 260, Earnings Per Share. Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. The Company includes common stock issuable in its calculation. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if all dilutive potential common shares had been issued, using the treasury stock method. Potential common shares are excluded from the computation if their effect is antidilutive.

For the three and six months ended August 31, 2018 and 2017, the calculations of basic and diluted loss per share are the same as potential dilutive securities would have an antidilutive effect. The potentially dilutive securities consisted of 2,345,957 outstanding warrants as at August 31, 2018 (2017 – 2,004,582).

Recently adopted accounting pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2014-09 will eliminate transaction and industry-specific revenue recognition guidance under current U.S. GAAP and replace it with a principle-based approach for determining revenue recognition. On August 12, 2015, the FASB delayed the required implementation to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 but now permitted organizations, such as the Company to adopt earlier. ASU 2014-09 will require that companies recognize revenue based on the value of transferred goods or services as they occur in the contract. The ASU will also require additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. Entities can transition to the standard either retrospectively or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as at the date of adoption. The Company has adopted ASU 2014-09 on March 1, 2018 on a full retrospective basis and its adoption did not have any impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments – Overall (Subtopic 825-10) Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which will significantly change practice for all entities. The targeted amendments to existing guidance are expected to include:

1.	Equity investments that do not result in consolidation and are not accounted for under the equity method would be measured at fair value through net income, unless they qualify for the proposed practicability exception for investments that do not have readily determinable fair values.
2.	Changes in instrument-specific credit risk for financial liabilities that are measured under the fair value option would be recognized in other comprehensive income.
3.	Entities would make the assessment of the realizability of a deferred tax asset (“DTA”) related to an available-for-sale (“AFS”) debt security in combination with the entity’s other DTAs. The guidance would eliminate one method that is currently acceptable for assessing the realizability of DTAs related to AFS debt securities. That is, an entity would no longer be able to consider its intent and ability to hold debt securities with unrealized losses until recovery.
4.	Disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost would no longer be required for entities that are not public business entities.

For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this Statement has not had an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718) Scope of Modification Accounting, which amends the guidance in Topic 718 to clarify when a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award requires the application of the guidance in Topic 718. The amendments provide that an entity shall account for the effects of a modification of a share-based payment award unless all the following conditions are met:

a.	The fair value (or calculated value or intrinsic value, if such an alternative measurement method is used) of the modified award is the same as the fair value (or calculated value or intrinsic value, if such an alternative measurement method is used) of the original award immediately before the original award is modified. If the modification does not affect any of the inputs to the valuation technique that the entity uses to value the award, the entity is not required to estimate the value immediately before and after the modification.
b.	The vesting conditions of the modified award are the same as the vesting conditions of the original award immediately before the original award is modified.
c.	The classification of the modified award as an equity instrument or a liability instrument is the same as the classification of the original award immediately before the original award is modified.

For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The company adopted ASU 2017-09 on March 1, 2018. The adoption of the standard had no impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, which permits entities to reclassify the disproportionate income tax effects of the Tax Reform Act on items within accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) ("AOCI") to retained earnings. These disproportionate income tax effect items are referred to as "stranded tax effects." Amendments in this update only relate to the reclassification of the income tax effects of the Tax Reform Act. Other accounting guidance that requires the effect of changes in tax laws or rates to be included in net income from continuing operations is not affected by this update. ASU 2018-02 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2019 and should be applied either in the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period in which the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate in the Tax Reform Act is recognized. The Company does not expect that ASU 2018-02 will have an impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The amendments in this Update expand the scope of Topic 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. An entity should apply the requirements of Topic 718 to nonemployee awards except for specific guidance on inputs to an option pricing model and the attribution of cost (that is, the period of time over which share-based payment awards vest and the pattern of cost recognition over that period). The amendments specify that Topic 718 applies to all share-based payment transactions in which a grantor acquires goods or services to be used or consumed in a grantor’s own operations by issuing share-based payment awards. The amendments also clarify that Topic 718 does not apply to share-based payments used to effectively provide (1) financing to the issuer or (2) awards granted in conjunction with selling goods or services to customers as part of a contract accounted for under Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The amendments in this Update are effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that fiscal year. The Company does not expect that ASU 2018-07 will have an impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-09, Codification Improvements, which clarify certain amendments to guidance that may have been incorrectly or inconsistently applied by certain entities and includes Amendments to Subtopic 718-740, Compensation – Stock Compensation – Income Taxes. The guidance in paragraph 718-740-35-2, as amended by the amendments in ASU 2016-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, is unclear on whether an entity should recognize excess tax benefits (or tax deficiencies) for compensation expense that is taken on the entity’s tax return. The amendment to paragraph 718-740-35-2 in this Update clarifies that an entity should recognize excess tax benefits in the period in which the amount of deduction is determined. The amendments in this Update are effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that fiscal year. The Company does not expect that this update will have an impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Mr. Daniel Solomita, or companies controlled by him, previously made advances to the Company, which were unsecured, non-interest bearing with no formal terms of repayment. During the six months ended August 31, 2017, the Company repaid to Mr. Solomita or companies controlled by him, as applicable, an aggregate amount of $249,762. A balance of $28,710 was due as at August 31, 2017. Additionally, accrued compensation due to Mr. Solomita of $360,000 was paid during the six months ended August 31, 2017.

Employment Agreement

On June 29, 2015, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Daniel Solomita, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer. The employment agreement is for an indefinite term.

The Company and Mr. Solomita entered into an amendment and restatement of the employment agreement on July 13, 2018. The amended and restated employment agreement provides for an increase in Mr. Solomita’s base salary and eligibility to participate in an annual cash bonus subject to performance measures. Mr. Solomita’s base salary and bonus opportunity are deemed retroactively effective to March 1, 2018. For the three and six months ended August 31, 2018, compensation expense for the Company’s CEO amounted to $116 thousand and $234 thousand, respectively, inclusive of the retroactive adjustment in accordance with the employment agreement as amended and restated on July 13, 2018. For the three and six months ended August 31, 2017, compensation expense was $45 thousand and $90 thousand, respectively.

In addition, the employment agreement provided for a long-term incentive grant of 4,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, upon the achievement of certain performance milestones. This was modified to provide a grant of 4,000,000 restricted stock units covering 4,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock while the performance milestones remained the same. The Company’s board of directors approved the grant of the restricted stock units, effective and contingent upon approval by the Company’s shareholders at the Company’s 2019 annual meeting of an increase in the number of shares available for grant under the Plan. The restricted stock units vest upon the achievement of applicable performance milestones. During the six months ended August 31, 2018 and 2017, no milestones were deemed probable of being met and, accordingly, the Company did not record any compensation expense in relation to the restricted stock units.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Those estimates and assumptions include estimates for depreciable lives of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, analysis of impairments of recorded intangible assets, accruals for potential liabilities and assumptions made in calculating the fair value of stock-based compensation and other stock instruments.

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars, the reporting currency of the Company. Assets and liabilities of subsidiaries that have a functional currency other than that of the Company are translated to U.S. dollars at the exchange rate as at the balance sheet date. Income and expenses are translated at the average exchange rate of the period. The resulting translation adjustments are included in other comprehensive income (loss) (“OCI”). As a result, foreign currency exchange fluctuations may impact operating expenses. The Company currently has not engaged in any currency hedging activities.

Sales tax and tax credits receivable

The Company is registered for the Canadian federal and provincial goods and services taxes. As such, the Company is obligated to collect, and is entitled to claim sales taxes paid on its expenses and capital expenditures incurred in Canada. As at August 31, 2018 and February 28, 2018, the computed recoverable sales taxes amounted to $122,589 and $177,903, respectively.

Research and development expenses

Research and development expenses relate primarily to the development, design, testing of preproduction samples, prototypes and models, compensation, and consulting fees, and are expensed as incurred. Total research and development costs recorded during the three and six months ended August 31, 2018 amounted to $1.1 million and $2.1 million, respectively (2017 – $1.0 million and $1.4 million, respectively).

Net earnings (loss) per share

The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with FASB ASC 260, Earnings Per Share. Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. The Company includes common stock issuable in its calculation. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if all dilutive potential common shares had been issued, using the treasury stock method.

For the three and six months ended August 31, 2018 and 2017, the calculations of basic and diluted loss per share are the same as potential dilutive securities would have an antidilutive effect. The potentially dilutive securities consisted of 2,345,957 outstanding warrants as at August 31, 2018 (2017 – 2,004,582).

The ASU will also require additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. Entities can transition to the standard either retrospectively or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as at the date of adoption. The Company has adopted ASU 2014-09 on March 1, 2018 on a full retrospective basis and its adoption did not have any impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments – Overall (Subtopic 825-10) Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which will significantly change practice for all entities. The targeted amendments to existing guidance are expected to include:

1.	Equity investments that do not result in consolidation and are not accounted for under the equity method would be measured at fair value through net income, unless they qualify for the proposed practicability exception for investments that do not have readily determinable fair values.
2.	Changes in instrument-specific credit risk for financial liabilities that are measured under the fair value option would be recognized in other comprehensive income.
3.	Entities would make the assessment of the realizability of a deferred tax asset (“DTA”) related to an available-for-sale (“AFS”) debt security in combination with the entity’s other DTAs. The guidance would eliminate one method that is currently acceptable for assessing the realizability of DTAs related to AFS debt securities. That is, an entity would no longer be able to consider its intent and ability to hold debt securities with unrealized losses until recovery.
4.	Disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost would no longer be required for entities that are not public business entities.

For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this Statement has not had an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718) Scope of Modification Accounting, which amends the guidance in Topic 718 to clarify when a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award requires the application of the guidance in Topic 718. The amendments provide that an entity shall account for the effects of a modification of a share-based payment award unless all the following conditions are met:

a.	The fair value (or calculated value or intrinsic value, if such an alternative measurement method is used) of the modified award is the same as the fair value (or calculated value or intrinsic value, if such an alternative measurement method is used) of the original award immediately before the original award is modified. If the modification does not affect any of the inputs to the valuation technique that the entity uses to value the award, the entity is not required to estimate the value immediately before and after the modification.
b.	The vesting conditions of the modified award are the same as the vesting conditions of the original award immediately before the original award is modified.
c.	The classification of the modified award as an equity instrument or a liability instrument is the same as the classification of the original award immediately before the original award is modified.

For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The company adopted ASU 2017-09 on March 1, 2018. The adoption of the standard had no impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, which permits entities to reclassify the disproportionate income tax effects of the Tax Reform Act on items within accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) ("AOCI") to retained earnings. These disproportionate income tax effect items are referred to as "stranded tax effects." Amendments in this update only relate to the reclassification of the income tax effects of the Tax Reform Act. Other accounting guidance that requires the effect of changes in tax laws or rates to be included in net income from continuing operations is not affected by this update. ASU 2018-02 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2019 and should be applied either in the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period in which the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate in the Tax Reform Act is recognized. The Company does not expect that ASU 2018-02 will have an impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The amendments in this Update expand the scope of Topic 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. An entity should apply the requirements of Topic 718 to nonemployee awards except for specific guidance on inputs to an option pricing model and the attribution of cost (that is, the period of time over which share-based payment awards vest and the pattern of cost recognition over that period). The amendments specify that Topic 718 applies to all share-based payment transactions in which a grantor acquires goods or services to be used or consumed in a grantor’s own operations by issuing share-based payment awards. The amendments also clarify that Topic 718 does not apply to share-based payments used to effectively provide (1) financing to the issuer or (2) awards granted in conjunction with selling goods or services to customers as part of a contract accounted for under Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The amendments in this Update are effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that fiscal year. The Company does not expect that ASU 2018-07 will have an impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-09, Codification Improvements, which clarify certain amendments to guidance that may have been incorrectly or inconsistently applied by certain entities and includes Amendments to Subtopic 718-740, Compensation – Stock Compensation – Income Taxes. The guidance in paragraph 718-740-35-2, as amended by the amendments in ASU 2016-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, is unclear on whether an entity should recognize excess tax benefits (or tax deficiencies) for compensation expense that is taken on the entity’s tax return. The amendment to paragraph 718-740-35-2 in this Update clarifies that an entity should recognize excess tax benefits in the period in which the amount of deduction is determined. The amendments in this Update are effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that fiscal year. The Company does not expect that this update will have an impact on its consolidated financial statements.
