RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Month Period Ended September 30, 2012 Compared To Three Month Period Ended September 30, 2011

Three months ended September 30,  
  2012 2011 % Change
Loss from Continuing Operations ($2,031,503) ($465,099) (337%)
Net Loss ($2,031,503) ($465,099) (337%)
Loss/share continuing operations ($0.05) ($0.01)  

Revenue and Gross Margins

Our net operational loss from continuing operations during the three-month period ended September 30, 2012, was ($2,031,503) compared to ($465,099) during the three-month period ended September 30, 2011 (an increase in loss of $1,566,404). The increase in loss was due to a lesser gain in the fair value adjustment of a derivative liability, a decrease in gain in foreign exchange, and a decrease in stock based compensation while there was an increase in salaries and benefits expense, an increase in general and administrative expense, research and development costs amortization and depreciation costs and a decrease in consulting and contract labour costs.

Operating Expenses

During the three-month period ended September 30, 2012, we recorded operating expenses of $2,111,700, compared to operating expenses of $1,588,325 for the same period in 2011. Operating expenses consisted of:

  • $225,074 (2011: $68,882) in advertising and promotion, an increase of 226%

  • $60,080 (2011: $16,767) in amortization and depreciation, an increase of 258%;

  • $201,137 (2011: $275,943) in consulting and contract labour, a decrease of (27%);

  • $270,155 (2011: $156,566) in general and administrative, an increase of 73%;

  • $(10,663) (2011: $(141,619)) in foreign exchange gain;

14


  • $41,421 (2011: $8,437) in interest an increase of 391%;

  • $96,636 (2011: $98,592) in professional fees, a decrease of (2%);

  • $292,033 (2011:179,434) in research and development, an increase of 63%; and

  • $935,827 (2011: $925,323) in salaries and benefits, an increase of 1%.

Advertising and promotion expenses increased to $225,074 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2012, from $68,882 for the same period in 2011. The increase in advertising and promotion was primarily due to payments made to growers as incentives.

Amortization and depreciation expenses increased to $60,080 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2012, from $16,767 for the same period in 2011. The increase in plant equipment depreciation was the cause for the increase in expense.

Consulting and contract labor expenses decreased to $201,137 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2012, from $275,943, compared to the same period in 2011, primarily due to decrease in stock-based compensation and some management costs now being expensed to salaries and benefits expense.

General and administrative expenses increased to $270,155 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2012, compared to $156,566 for the same period in 2011. The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to travel and office costs.

Interest expenses increased to $41,421 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2012, compared to $8,437 for the same period in 2011. The increase is attributable to loans several directors made to the Company during the quarter and interest charged on the convertible debenture debt.

Professional fees were $96,636 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2012, compared to $98,592 for the same three-month period in 2011.

Research and development costs were $292,033 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2012, compared to $179,434 for the same three-month period in 2011. During the period equipment modification, the processing of CRAiLAR® fiber for our development partners and the testing at our third party manufacturing partners have been our principle research and development costs. Our development partners purchased approximately $112,221 of Crailar fiber, which has been subtracted from those costs.

Salaries and benefits expenses increased to $935,827 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2012, compared with $925,323 for the same period in 2011. This increase was caused by additional hires.

Net Loss

Our net loss during the three-month period ended September 30, 2012, was ($2,031,503) or ($0.05 per share), compared to ($465,099) or ($0.01 per share) during the three-month period ended September 30, 2011, which represents an increase in net loss of 337%. The increase in loss was due primarily to a smaller gain in the fair value adjustment of derivative liability, an increase in advertising and promotion expense, an increase in general and administrative expense and an increase in research and development expense. For the three-month period ended September 30, 2012, the weighted average number of shares outstanding was 42,865,834 compared to 40,741,147 at September 30, 2011.

Amortization and depreciation expenses increased to $164,678 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012, from $38,065 for the same period in 2011. The increase in plant equipment depreciation was the cause for the increase in expense.

Consulting and contract labor expenses decreased to $590,706 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012, from $899,350 compared to the same period in 2011, primarily due to a decrease in stock-based compensation and some management costs now being expensed to salaries and benefits expense.

16


General and administrative expenses increased to $712,633 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012, compared to $393,799 for the same period in 2011. The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to travel and office costs.

Interest expenses decreased to $41,425 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012, compared to $87,297 for the same period in 2011. The decrease is attributable to the repayment of loans that were outstanding in the same period in 2011.

Professional fees were $495,217 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012, compared to $297,107 for the same nine-month period in 2011. The primary cause for the increase was associated with the new facility in South Carolina, costs associated with being Sarbanes Oxley Act compliant and to timing issues of year end costs and an increase in some legal costs.

Research and development costs were $645,138 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012, compared to $627,503 for the same nine-month period in 2011. During the period equipment modification, the processing of CRAiLAR® fiber for our development partners and testing at our third party manufacturing partners along with the quarterly payment to the NRC have been our principle research and development costs. Our development partners purchased approximately $139,582 of Crailar fiber, which has been subtracted from those costs.

Salaries and benefits expenses increased to $3,123,469 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012, compared with $1,620,098 for the same period in 2011. This increase was caused by additional hires, management costs that were previously recorded under consulting and contract labour now recorded as salaries and benefits and an increase in stock based compensation.

Net Loss

Our net loss during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012, was ($6,264,449), or ($0.15 per share) compared to ($4,384,770) or ($0.12 per share) during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2011, which represents an increase in net loss of 43%. The increase in loss was due primarily to an increase in advertising and promotion expense, general and administrative expense, amortization and depreciation expense, research and development expense, and salaries and benefits expense as well as a loss from the fair value adjustment of a derivative liability. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012, the weighted average number of shares outstanding was 42,617,860 compared to 37,362,272 at September 30, 2011.

Plan of Operation

Because CRAiLAR® Fibers can be an ingredient in countless products, management believes that partnering with the largest, most successful brands, all of which are top of mind to the North American consumer, is the path to successful commercialization. The Company has signed development and supply agreements with some of the world’s largest fiber consuming companies such as Hanesbrands Inc, Levis Strauss & Co., Georgia-Pacific, and Target. Sustainability, risk mitigation, consumer satisfaction and product enhancement are all offered within the CRAiLAR® experience.

As we move forward to commercialization, our partners are not only successfully integrating our CRAiLAR® flax fiber within their biggest product categories, but as well, discovering benefits and enhancements which are exclusive to their developments, allowing the CRAiLAR® brand to evolve and grow, while servicing both the consumer and business needs.

In the near future, we will be working in tandem with our partners to extol the virtues of CRAiLAR® through co-branding, ingredient call-outs, co-op marketing efforts, in-store signage, point of purchase and links to the relevant social media networks and websites. Our own presence and prosperity will grow in concert with the growth of our growers and business partners, allowing CRAiLAR® to be top of mind, similar to great ingredient brand successes such as Gore-Tex® and Intel®.

Partnerships and Industry Expertise

The Company has identified the Williamsburg County/Florence County regions of South Carolina as ideal region for growing winter flax crops.

As a result of identifying this geographical area as an ideal growing region, we incorporated a wholly owned subsidiary, Naturally Advanced Technologies, US Inc. (which is being renamed “Crailar Inc.”). The purpose of this subsidiary is to develop a US based flax fiber industry based around our CRAiLAR® fiber technology; from the contracting of crops through to the processing of the fiber.

Our first commercialization partner, Hanesbrands, is headquartered in North Carolina. Hanesbrands uses contract spinners located throughout the states of North and South Carolina. Therefore, being able to procure textile grade fiber in this region allows the Company to take advantage of strategic logistical opportunities.

We entered into a sub lease of a mid volume decortication facility located in Kingstree, South Carolina, in early August of 2010. The facility was originally established under a USDA flax initiative that failed to reach commercial viability. The equipment in this facility is designed to mechanically separate the flax fiber from the rest of the plant. This stage is called decortication. This is the first step of our process before it goes through our patented CRAiLAR® wet process. We have used this facility to prove out the viability of flax farming in this region, perfect our decortication process and to commence early volumes of CRAiLAR® fiber to our commercial partners. In August 2011, we took over the lease for a term of one year, and during July 2012 we extended the lease until the end of 2012.

In March 2012, we signed a lease for an approximately 147,000 square foot building on 52 acres outside of Pamplico, South Carolina. The building is currently undergoing the renovations necessary to process CRAiLAR® fiber. In the first stage, the decortication process will begin in Q4 of 2012 with wet processing planned to begin in Q3 2013.

In addition to signing our joint development agreements with Hanesbrands and Georgia Pacific, we licensed a third party processor of natural fibers, Littlewoods Inc. of Philadelphia, to run interim scale quantities of up to 40,000 pounds per week of CRAiLAR® Fiber, to feed our commercialization scale up and additional market development plans, in denim, work wear, knit garments, domestic textiles and home furnishings.

In late January of 2012, we announced that we had signed our second yarn development partner, Tuscarora Yarns of Greensboro NC. Tuscarora are a highly innovative yarn spinner, capable of blending CRAiLAR® with fibers other than cotton, to broaden our market capabilities in performance sportswear, higher end fashion and outerwear. This is a strategic initiative that will add to the CRAiLAR® list of performance attributes, while strengthening our brand capabilities at the consumer interface.

In March 2012 we entered into an agreement with Tintoria Piana to execute the CRAiLAR® enzymatic process, augmenting the Company’s plans for manufacturing capacity. The agreement calls for Tintoria to commence production in Q3 2012. Tintoria’s history in textiles dates to 1582 in Biella, Italy. The privately held, family-owned business has dyed fiber for the traditional apparel business for more than 60 years, and operates principally out of Cartersville, Georgia in North America.

In March 2012 we announced that we had partnered with Barnhardt Manufacturing Company to further expand its manufacturing capacity. The agreement calls for Barnhardt to execute the CRAiLAR® enzymatic process exclusively for our Company, and expands upon the Company’s manufacturing plans.

Founded in 1929, Charlotte, N.C.-based Barnhardt is a global supplier of cotton for medical, health and beauty aids, and nonwoven fabrics. It currently supplies processed fiber to companies that demand similar standards to those of our global brand partners, and this third-party manufacturing agreement gives our Company the ability to scale to

19


demand from existing and future partners. Barnhardt will commence production for our Company in Q3 2012.

PROCESS FLOW

Agronomics Plan - USDA

We announced in January of 2011 that we had entered into growing trials with Hanesbrands and the USDA-ARS, further developing our agronomic know-how and our ability to produce fiber capable of being spun into finer-gauge yarns suitable for undergarments, shirting and finer-knit garments. These trials were designed to enable us to move to an unprecedented level of flax-fiber refinement by allowing us to develop flax strains capable of accessing all sectors of the industry. The research project has resulted in test acres of flax being planted in the Kingstree region the past two winters. In addition, we contracted 3200 acres of flax in South and North Carolina. Harvest began in May and the flax was left to dew ret in the fields before being baled and then entering the CRAiLAR® process. Growers were then able to plant summer crops such as soybeans in time for a full summer season proving the viability of flax as a winter rotation crop in the South East. We expect to contract higher acreage for the 2012/2013 growing season. We have also identified other suitable North American growing regions, such as the Willamette Valley in Oregon, Southern Vermont, and growing regions in Michigan and Maine

In July 2011, we entered into an agreement with Carolina Eastern to provide agronomic consultation. Carolina Eastern will assist in the recruitment of growers and contractors and advise on all cultivation plans regarding flax. The Company has planted enough acres to produce roughly 5,000,000 lbs of CRAiLAR®. To assist on the recruitment of growers Carolina Eastern and the Company has hosted a number of farm days in Williamsburg and Florence Counties, South Carolina, which have been well attended by growers interested in growing flax.

In March 2012, the Company appointed Mr. Steve Sandroni as Vice President of Agriculture. Mr. Sandroni brings more than 34 years of experience working in various aspects of agribusiness to the Company. Mr. Sandroni oversees the Company’s global agricultural efforts. He liaises with farmers and will hire regional support staff in the Company’s primary growing regions.

20


By July of 2012 harvesting of the contracted flax acreage in South Carolina was completed. We worked with representatives of Carolina Eastern to complete the harvest. All fibre from the harvest is now on our property in Pamplico SC and ready for processing upon commissioning of the decortication line.

Planting for the 2013 spring harvest is taking place in October and November and the Company expects to contract with growers for between 6,000 and 10,000 acres of flax fiber.

Our Company is expanding its agronomic focus to include multiple North American and international growing regions. Expansion of the growing region will mitigate climate risk and large expenditures associated with harvest. Throughout the summer 2012 our Company contracted 771 acres of flax to be grown in Canada for the purpose of seed multiplication. The seed generated will be used for subsequent planting in South Carolina including the planting currently under way.

PRODUCTION PLAN

With the proceeds of our financing in July 2011, we began to install our first fully integrated CRAiLAR® Fiber processing facility in the Florence region of South Carolina. Our Company has signed a lease of an existing building in the region, for the housing of its first fully integrated decortication and enzyme treatment processing facility. The installation of our full scale decortication facility is currently underway and purchase orders plus deposits for the equipment needed to enzymatically process CRAiLAR® Fiber have been issued. The installation of that equipment in the new facility commenced in the second quarter of 2012. With the completion of the September 2012 financing the Company will complete the build out of the facility along with the necessary equipment purchases for the decortication process. The Company expects the decortication phase of the new facility to become operational in the 4th quarter of 2012, and to ramp up production through 2013. At full capacity, the new facility will be capable of producing 600,000 pounds per week of decorticated bast fiber ready for the CRAiLAR® wet process. Feedstock in 2013 will come from the American Southeast and Europe.

In March 2012, we announced an improvement of our CRAiLAR® wet process time by 40%, therefore significantly increasing anticipated volume capabilities at planned facilities. The evaluation and resulting improvements were conducted internally in conjunction with research partners. The resulting changes encompass processes, as well as the utilization of industry standard equipment, including that which was purchased by the Company for its first production facility.

These reductions in overall cycle time increase throughput and production capacity in each planned facility. These efficiencies also allowed the Company to evaluate third-party manufacturers to increase overall production volume of CRAiLAR® Flax through a quicker expansion model.

As a result of this optimized process, we entered into the agreements with Tintoria Piana and Barnhardt Manufacturing to execute the CRAiLAR® enzymatic process, augmenting the Company’s plans for manufacturing capacity.

During Q3 and Q4 2012, the Company will process fiber through its third party manufacturing partners using decorticated fiber from its smaller scale facility in Kingstree, S.C. and European sources.

The Company believes that outsourced manufacturing allows for faster expansion of our technology proposition while significantly reducing the capital requirements to scale up to meet demand.

In summary, the Company’s decortication facility will come on line in Q4 2012, with production quantities starting in Q1 2013. The Company will use third party manufacturers for the CRAiLAR® wet process in Q1 & Q2, 2013, and volume is expected to grow to 450,000 lbs per week. In Q3 2013, the Company plans to have its own wet processing facility come online , bringing an additional 600,000 lbs per week of potential CRAiLAR® capacity to the 450,000 lbs from third party manufacturers. Decorticated fiber for the additional capacity will come from the Company’s Pamplico decortication facility and European decorticated fiber.

CRAILEX

Finally, the testing and evaluation of our CRAiLEXTM Advanced Materials pulping technology continues with a joint development agreement with Hercules Incorporated, a subsidiary of Ashland Inc.

CRAiLEXTM is the brand name for the purified pulp created from a patented process that is exclusively held by the Company. In recent tests, CRAiLEXTM has proven to exhibit higher-grade value pulps than other hard or soft-wood pulps. This is due to the unique cellular structure of bast fibers, namely hemp, and the less damaging CRAiLEXTM pulping process, which preserves the fiber integrity. The pulps are used by Ashland to create its line of cellulosic products including ethers and additives for multiple industries. We would create market opportunities in the higher end cellulosic yarns market, which we plan to market to our growing roster of global apparel brands. We expect the completion of the final round of evaluation and testing of our dissolving pulp qualities to be confirmed by Ashland in Q4 of 2012, whereafter the structure of commercialization of the technology will become a key priority.

INTEGRATED PRODUCTION MODEL

CRAiLAR®and CRAiLEXTM production models integrate seamlessly at the agricultural and decortication level. The separation into the two distinctive patented manufacturing process thereafter creates the two unique opportunities in the natural fiber and dissolving pulp markets, with go to market strategies overlapping in the natural fiber and cellulosic yarn markets, along with composites and non-woven manufacturing. The additives and ethers market dominated by Ashland Inc. would potentially be controlled by Ashland in an integrated business venture with Ashland.

With the necessary strategic partnerships and management team in place the Company believes it is well positioned to execute its commercial roll out plan in 2012 and 2013.

Note on Plan of Operation

While the Company expects that profitable operations will be achieved in the future, there can be no assurance that revenue, margins, and profitability will increase, or be sufficient to support operations over the long term. Management expects that the Company will need to raise additional capital to meet short and long-term operating requirements. Management believes that private placements of equity capital and debt financing may be adequate to fund the Company’s long-term operating requirements. Management may also encounter business endeavors that require significant cash commitments or unanticipated problems or expenses that could result in a requirement for additional cash. If the Company raises additional funds through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities other than to current shareholders, the percentage ownership of current shareholders would be reduced, and such securities might have rights, preferences or privileges senior to the Company’s common stock. Additional financing may not be available upon acceptable terms, or at all. If adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, the Company may not be able to take advantage of prospective business endeavors or opportunities, which could significantly and materially restrict business operations. Management is continuing to pursue external financing alternatives to improve the Company’s working capital position and to grow the business to the greatest possible extent.

MATERIAL COMMITMENTS

Production Equipment

At September 30, 2012, the Company signed agreements to purchase equipment for a total price of $9,953,721 (Euro 7,418,140 and $416,960), which is payable in installments and due upon the achievement of certain milestones. Full payment is expected within 2012. The Company paid $6,813,475 (Euro 5,101,511 and $254,972) as deposits. No amortization will be taken until the equipment is in production.

22


Annual Leases

Total   641,650

NRC Agreements

Collaboration Agreement

In October 2007, the Company entered into a joint collaboration agreement with the NRC to continue to develop a patentable enzyme technology for the processing of hemp fibres. The agreement was for three years and was set to expire on May 9, 2010. On February 19, 2010, the Company signed an amendment to the agreement which expired on May 9, 2012. The Company is currently negotiating a new joint collaboration agreement with the NRC. The Company will continue its joint collaboration of enzyme technology with the NRC, however the research will refocus on cellulose technology for the production of lignocellulosic ethanol. The NRC is to be paid as it conducts work on the joint collaboration. There are no further costs or other off-balance sheet liabilities associated with the NRC agreement.

Over the term of the amended agreement, the Company paid the NRC all amounts due for a total of $280,536.

Technology License Agreement

On November 1, 2006, the Company entered into a technology license agreement with the NRC. The license agreement provides the Company a worldwide license to use and sublicense the NRC technology called CRAiLAR®. The Company paid an initial $25,000 (CDN $25,000) fee and will pay an ongoing royalty of 3% on the first $50,000,000 of sales, with the royalty dropping to 1.5% of sales over $50,000,000 of products derived from the CRAiLAR® process to the NRC with a minimum annual payment set at $15,000 (CDN$15,000) per year.

Alberta Innovates – Technology Futures

In June 2007, the Company’s subsidiary, Crailar Fiber Technologies Inc. (“CFT”), entered into a Master Agreement for Technology Development with the Alberta Research Council (“ARC”) now know as Alberta Innovates-Technology Futures (“AITF”) (the “Technology Agreement”) to further develop and commercialize bast fiber technology. The Technology Agreement is intended to act as an umbrella agreement for further bast fiber development planned to be performed by the AITF under separate Project Agreements. During 2011 the Company paid the ARC for specific tasks to further the development of AITF’s Technology, the amount paid was $135,890. During Q2 2012, AITF ran a small project for the Company worth $2,000; no other monies were paid or owed for 2012. Under the terms of the Project Agreements signed with AITF the Company will be entitled to an exclusive, worldwide, royalty-bearing license to use any new intellectual property developed pursuant to the Project Agreements. The royalty based on this option will be 3% of gross sales for the first $50,000,000 and 1.5% of gross sales on excess of $50,000,000. The Technology Agreement is in effect as long as there is an active Project Agreement.

Investor Relations Agreement

On August 9, 2011, the Company renewed the agreement for a firm to perform investor relations activities. The agreement term is one year with ninety days notice of termination by either party. The monthly fee is $10,000 with 70,000 stock options exercisable at $2.77 expiring August 19, 2016.The options were granted under the 2010 Option Stock Plan and were valued at $148,862 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

23


Research Agreement

Starting in December 2010, a co-operative research project designed to cultivate and evaluate the viability of various flax strains for use in CRAiLAR® technology was signed with the United States Department of Agriculture, HanesBrands and the Company. The project has an initial term of one year with a renewal option for two additional years. We will contribute annually $51,000 of in-kind expenses towards the project.

Farming and Consulting Agreements

During the nine month period ended September 30, 2012, the Company committed a minimum to $235,252 ($231,300 CDN) in flax seed purchases from growers in Alberta. The seed will be used for future North American harvests.

NAME CHANGE AND ADOPTION OF NEW ARTICLES

Effective October 31, 2012, the Company effected a name change from Naturally Advanced Technologies Inc. to Crailar Technologies Inc. This name change was effective under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) as of October 31, 2012, pursuant to a Notice of Alteration that was filed with the British Columbia Registrar of Companies on October 22, 2012. The name change became effective with the TSX Venture Exchange on October 31, 2012 under the stock symbol “CL” and with the OTC Bulletin Board at the opening for trading on November 1, 2012 under the stock symbol “CRLRF”. The Company’s new CUSIP number is 224248104.

Concurrent with the change of name, the Company adopted new articles in the form approved by the Company’s shareholders at the Company’s annual general and special meeting which was held on August 8, 2012 (the “New Articles”). Among other things, the New Articles facilitate the use of uncertificated shares and electronic record keeping systems currently in use worldwide. In addition, under the New Articles the Company increased the quorum requirement for meetings of shareholders from two shareholders (or one shareholder if there was only one shareholder entitled to vote at a meeting of shareholders) to 1/3 of the outstanding shares of the Company.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

As of the date of this Report, we do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors. The term “off-balance sheet arrangement” generally means any transaction, agreement or other contractual arrangement to which an entity unconsolidated with us is a party, under which we have any obligation arising under a guarantee contract, derivative instrument or variable interest; or a retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to such entity or similar arrangement that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support for such assets.

RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

Item 3.              Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Currency risk

Although the Company conducts its business principally in Canada, the majority of its purchases are made in U.S. currency. Additionally, the majority of the Company’s debt is denominated in U.S. currency. The Company does not currently hedge its foreign currency exposure and accordingly is at risk for foreign currency exchange fluctuations.

24


Credit risk

Credit risk is managed by dealing with customers whose credit standing meets internally approved policies, and by ongoing monitoring of credit risk. The risk in cash accounts is managed through the use of a major financial institution which has high credit quality as determined by the rating agencies. As at September 30, 2012, the Company does not have significant concentrations of credit exposure.

Interest rate risk

All term debt has fixed interest rates and the Company has no significant exposure to interest rate fluctuation risk other than at renewal.

Item 4.              Controls and Procedures Disclosure

Controls and Procedures

Kenneth Barker, our Chief Executive Officer, and Guy Prevost, our Chief Financial Officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. Based on that evaluation, they concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2012.

No Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2012 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.              Legal Proceedings

Management is not aware of any legal proceedings contemplated by any governmental authority or any other party involving us or our properties. As of the date of this Report, no director, officer or affiliate is a party adverse to us in any legal proceeding, or has an adverse interest to us in any legal proceedings. Management is not aware of any other legal proceedings pending or that have been threatened against us or our properties.

Item 1A.            Risk Factors

An investment in our common stock involves a number of very significant risks. You should carefully consider the following risks and uncertainties in addition to other information in evaluating our company and its business before purchasing shares of our common stock. Our business, operating results and financial condition could be seriously harmed due to any of the following risks. The risks described below are all of the material risks that we are currently aware of that are facing our company. Additional risks not presently known to us may also impair our business operations. You could lose all or part of your investment due to any of these risks.

Risks Related to Our Business

We Have a History of Operating Losses and There Can Be No Assurance We Will Be Profitable in the Future.

We have a history of operating losses, expect to continue to incur losses, may never be profitable, and must be considered to be in the development stage. Further, we have been dependent on sales of our equity securities and debt financing to meet our cash requirements. We have incurred losses totaling approximately $6,264,449, $6,998,922 and $3,293,439, respectively, for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012, and the fiscal years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010. As of September 30, 2012, we had accumulated deficits of $17,716,752. As at September 30, 2012 we had cash and cash equivalents of $7,857,531 and working capital of $9,477,668. Further, we do not expect positive cash flow from operations until Q2 2013. There is no assurance that actual cash requirements will not exceed our estimates.

25


We May Need to Raise Capital To Continue Our Operations.

Based upon our historical losses from operations, we may require additional funding in the future. If we cannot obtain capital through financings or otherwise, our ability to execute our development plans and achieve profitable operational levels will be greatly limited. Historically, we have funded our operations through the issuance of equity and short-term debt financing arrangements. We may not be able to obtain additional financing on favorable terms, if at all. Our future cash flows and the availability of financing will be subject to a number of variables, including demand for CRAiLAR® and CRAiLEXTM technologies. Further, debt financing could lead to a diversion of cash flow to satisfy debt-servicing obligations and create restrictions on business operations. If we are unable to raise additional funds, it would have a material adverse effect upon our operations.

Our Success is Dependent Upon the Acceptance of CRAiLAR®and CRAiLEXTMTechnologies.

Our success depends upon our achieving significant market acceptance of our CRAiLAR®and CRAiLEXTM Technology and demand for alternative bio-based products. Acceptance of our CRAiLAR®and CRAiLEXTM Technology will depend on the success of our and our partners’ promotional and marketing efforts and ability to attract customers. To date, we have not spent significant funds on marketing and promotional efforts, although in order to increase awareness of our products we expect our partners to spend a significant amount on promotion, marketing and advertising in the future. If these expenses fail to develop an awareness of our CRAiLAR®and CRAiLEXTM Technologies and products, these expenses may never be recovered and we may never be able to generate any significant future revenues. In addition, even if awareness of our CRAiLAR®and CRAiLEXTM Technology increases, we may not be able to produce enough product to meet demand.

We May Be Unable to Retain Key Employees or Management Personnel.

The loss of Messrs. Kenneth Barker, Jason Finnis, Guy Prevost, Tom Robinson, Jay Nalbach, Ms. Larisa Harrison or any of our key management personnel would have an adverse impact on our future development and could impair our ability to succeed. Our performance is substantially dependent upon the expertise of our Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Kenneth Barker and our Chief Innovation Officer, Mr. Jason Finnis, and other key management personnel and our ability to continue to hire and retain such personnel. Messrs. Barker, Finnis, Prevost, Robinson and Nalbach spend substantially all, or most, of their working time with us and our subsidiaries. It may be difficult to find sufficiently qualified individuals to replace Mr. Barker, Mr. Finnis, Mr. Prevost, Mr. Robinson, Mr. Nalbach, Ms. Harrison or other key management personnel if we were to lose any one or more of them. The loss of Mr. Barker, Mr. Finnis, Mr. Robinson, Mr. Nalbach or Mr. Prevost, or any of our other key management personnel could have a material adverse effect on our business, development, financial condition, and operating results. We maintain “key person” life insurance on our senior executive officers.

Our Officers and Directors May Be Subject to Conflicts of Interest.

Certain of our officers and directors may be subject to conflicts of interest. Certain of our directors devote part of their working time to other business endeavors, including consulting relationships with other entities, and have responsibilities to other entities. Such conflicts include deciding how much time to devote to our affairs, as well as what business opportunities should be presented to us. Because of these relationships, certain of our directors may be subject to conflicts of interest. Currently, we have no policy in place to address such conflicts of interest. However, such directors have acknowledged their fiduciary duty to perform their duties in our best interest and those of our shareholders.

Government Regulation and Trade Restrictions Could Have a Negative Impact on Our Business.

Governments or special interest groups may attempt to protect existing industries through the use of duties, tariffs or public relations campaigns. These efforts may adversely affect interest in and demand for our CRAiLAR® and CRAiLEXTM Technology.

26


Moreover, any negative changes to international treaties and regulations such as NAFTA and to the effects of international trade agreements and embargoes imposed by such entities such as the World Trade Organization which could result in a rise in trade quotas, duties, taxes and similar impositions or which could limit the countries from whom we can purchase component materials, or which could limit the countries where we or our customers might market and sell products created using CRAiLAR® Technology, which could have an adverse effect on our business.

The laws, regulations, policies or current administrative practices of any government body, organization or regulatory agency in the United States or any other jurisdiction, may be changed, applied or interpreted in a manner which will fundamentally alter our ability to carry on business. The actions, policies or regulations, or changes thereto, of any government body or regulatory agency, or other special interest groups, may have a detrimental effect on us. Any or all of these situations may have a negative impact on our ability to operate and/or our profitability.

If Our Competitors Misappropriate Unpatented Proprietary Know-How and Our Trade Secrets, It May Have a Material Adverse Affect on Our Business.

The loss of or inability to enforce our trademark CRAiLAR® and other proprietary know-how, including our CRAiLAR® and CRAiLEXTM process, and trade secrets could adversely affect our business. We depend heavily on trade secrets and the design expertise of our employees. If any of our competitors copies or otherwise gains access to our trade secrets or develops similar technologies or processes independently, we would not be able to compete as effectively. The measures we take to protect our trade secrets and design expertise may not be adequate to prevent their unauthorized use. Further, the laws of foreign countries may provide inadequate protection of such intellectual property rights. We may need to bring legal claims to enforce or protect such intellectual property rights. Any litigation, whether successful or unsuccessful, could result in substantial costs and diversions of resources. In addition, notwithstanding the rights we have secured in our intellectual property, other persons may bring claims against us that we have infringed on their intellectual property rights or claims that our intellectual property right interests are not valid. Any claims against us, with or without merit, could be time consuming and costly to defend or litigate and therefore could have an adverse affect on our business.

Currency Fluctuations May Cause Translation Gains and Losses.

A significant portion of our expenses are incurred in Canadian dollars. As a result, appreciation in the value of these currencies relative to the United States dollar could adversely affect our operating results. Foreign currency translation gains and losses arising from normal business operations are credited to or charged against other income for the period incurred. Fluctuations in the value of Canadian dollars relative to United States dollars may cause currency translation gains and losses.

Risks Related to Our Common Stock

Sales of a Substantial Number of Shares of Our Common Stock May Result in Significant Downward Pressure on the Price of Our Common Stock and Could Affect Your Ability to Realize the Current Trading Price of Our Common Stock.

As of September 30, 2012, there were 43,923,111 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding. Further, as of September 30, 2012 there were an aggregate of 4,684,045 stock options (4,029,045 were vested and exercisable into 4,029,045 shares of common stock at a weighted average exercise price of $1.66 per share) and 3,057,555 share purchase warrants outstanding that are exercisable into 3,057,555 shares of common stock (at a weighted average exercise price of $4.04 per share).

Any significant downward pressure on the price of our common stock as certain stockholders sell their shares of our common stock may encourage short sales. Any such short sales could place further downward pressure on the price of our common stock.

27


The Trading Price of Our Common Stock on the OTC Bulletin Board Has Been and May Continue to Fluctuate Significantly and Stockholders May Have Difficulty Reselling Their Shares.

During our fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, our common stock has traded as low as $1.03 and as high as $4.50. In addition to volatility associated with Bulletin Board securities in general, the value of your investment could decline due to the impact of any of the following factors upon the market price of our common stock:

  • changes in the demand for flax and other eco-friendly products;

  • disappointing results from our or our partners’ marketing and sales efforts;

  • failure to meet our revenue or profit goals or operating budget;

  • decline in demand for our common stock;

  • downward revisions in securities analysts’ estimates or changes in general market conditions;

  • lack of funding generated for operations;

  • investor perception of our industry or our business prospects; and

  • general economic trends.

In addition, stock markets have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations and the market prices of securities have been highly volatile. These fluctuations are often unrelated to operating performance and may adversely affect the market price of our common stock. As a result, investors may be unable to sell their shares at a fair price and you may lose all or part of your investment.

Additional Issuances of Equity Securities May Result in Dilution to Our Existing Stockholders.

Our Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance of 100,000,000 shares of common stock. The Board of Directors has the authority to issue additional shares of our capital stock to provide additional financing in the future and the issuance of any such shares may result in a reduction of the book value or market price of the outstanding shares of our common stock. If we do issue any such additional shares, such issuance also will cause a reduction in the proportionate ownership and voting power of all other stockholders. As a result of such dilution, if you acquire shares of our common stock, your proportionate ownership interest and voting power could be decreased. Further, any such issuances could result in a change of control.

We are not authorized to issue shares of preferred stock. However, there are provisions of British Columbia law that permit a company’s board of directors, without shareholder approval, to issue shares of preferred stock with rights superior to the rights of the holders of shares of common stock. As a result, shares of preferred stock could be issued quickly and easily, adversely affecting the rights of holders of shares of common stock and could be issued with terms calculated to delay or prevent a change in control or make removal of management more difficult. Although we have no present plans to issue any shares of preferred stock, the issuance of preferred stock in the future could adversely affect the rights of the holders of common stock and reduce the value of the common stock.

Our Common Stock is Classified as a “Penny Stock” Under SEC Rules Which Limits the Market for Our Common Stock.

Because our stock is not traded on the NASDAQ National Market or the NASDAQ Small Cap Market, and because the market price of the common stock is less than $5 per share, the common stock is classified as a “penny stock.” Our stock has not traded above $5 per share. SEC Rule 15g-9 under the Exchange Act imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers that recommend the purchase or sale of penny stocks to persons other than those who qualify as an “established customer” or an “accredited investor.” This includes the requirement that a broker-dealer must make a determination that investments in penny stocks are suitable for the customer and must make special disclosures to the customers concerning the risk of penny stocks. Many broker-dealers decline to participate in penny stock transactions because of the extra requirements imposed on penny stock transactions. Application of the penny stock rules to our common stock reduces the market liquidity of our shares, which in turn affects the ability of holders of our common stock to resell the shares they purchase, and they may not be able to resell at prices at or above the prices they paid.

28


We Are a Canadian Company and a Majority of Our Directors and Officers Are Canadian Citizens and/or Residents, Which Could Make It Difficult for Investors to Enforce Judgments Against Us in the United States.

We are a company incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada and a majority of our directors and officers reside in Canada. Therefore, it may be difficult for investors to enforce within the United States any judgments obtained against us or any of our directors or officers. All or a substantial portion of such persons’ assets may be located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to effect service of process on our directors or officers, or enforce within the United States or Canada any judgments obtained against us or our officers or directors, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state thereof. Consequently, you may be effectively prevented from pursuing remedies under U.S. federal securities laws against them. In addition, investors may not be able to commence an action in a Canadian court predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States. We have been advised by our Canadian counsel that there is doubt as to the enforceability, in original actions in Canadian courts, of liability based upon the U.S. federal securities laws and as to the enforceability in Canadian courts of judgments of U.S. courts obtained in actions based upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws. Therefore, it may not be possible to enforce those actions against us or any of our directors or officers.

A Decline in the Price of Our Common Stock Could Affect Our Ability to Raise Further Working Capital and Adversely Impact Our Operations.

A decline in the price of our common stock could result in a reduction in the liquidity of our common stock and a reduction in our ability to raise additional capital for our operations. Because our operations to date have been principally financed through the sale of equity securities, a decline in the price of our common stock could have an adverse effect upon our liquidity and our continued operations. A reduction in our ability to raise equity capital in the future would have a material adverse effect upon our business plan and operations, including our ability to continue our current operations. If our stock price declines, we may not be able to raise additional capital or generate funds from operations sufficient to meet our obligations.

Item 2.              Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

On September 13, 2012, we issued an aggregate of 418,429 units of the Company to 15 investors at a price of $2.21 per unit for gross proceeds of $924,728.09. Each unit is comprised of one share of common stock and one half of one share purchase warrant. Each whole share purchase warrant is exercisable into one share of common stock at an exercise price of $3.45 per share until September 13, 2014. The Company relied on exemptions from registration under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, provided by Rule 506 of Regulation D and Regulation S, based on representations and warranties provided by the purchasers of the shares in their respective subscription agreements entered into between each purchaser and the Company.

On September 24, 2012, we issued an aggregate of 450,758 units of the Company to five investors at a price of $2.21 per unit for gross proceeds of $996,175.18. Each unit is comprised of one share of common stock and one half of one share purchase warrant. Each whole share purchase warrant is exercisable into one share of common stock at an exercise price of $3.45 per share until September 24, 2014. The Company relied on exemptions from registration under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, provided by Rule 506 of Regulation D, based on representations and warranties provided by the purchasers of the shares in their respective subscription agreements entered into between each purchaser and the Company.

On October 10, 2012, we issued an aggregate of 198,587 units of the Company to six investors at a price of $2.21 per unit for gross proceeds of $438,877.27. Each unit is comprised of one share of common stock and one half of one share purchase warrant. Each whole share purchase warrant is exercisable into one share of common stock at an exercise price of $3.45 per share until October 10, 2014. The Company relied on exemptions from registration under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, provided by Rule 506 of Regulation D, based on representations and warranties provided by the purchasers of the shares in their respective subscription agreements entered into between each purchaser and the Company.
