1. The Company and Basis of Presentation The Company Loop Industries, Inc. (the “Company,” “Loop,” “we,” or “our”) is a technology company that owns patented and proprietary technology that depolymerizes no and low-value waste PET plastic and polyester fiber to its base building blocks (monomers). The monomers are filtered, purified and polymerized to create virgin-quality Loop™ branded PET resin suitable for use in food-grade packaging and polyester fiber. The Company is currently in the pre-commercialization stage with limited revenues. Basis of presentation These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and comprise the consolidated financial position and results of operations of Loop Industries, Inc. and its subsidiaries, Loop Innovations, LLC and Loop Canada Inc. All subsidiaries are, either directly or indirectly, wholly-owned subsidiaries of Loop Industries, Inc. (collectively, the “Company”). The Company also owns, through Loop Innovations, LLC, a 50% interest in a joint venture, Indorama Loop Technologies, LLC, which is accounted for under the equity method. Intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated on consolidation. The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the continuing of operations, the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Liquidity Risk Assessment Since its inception, the Company has been in the pre-commercialization stage with limited revenues from customers, and its ongoing operations and commercialization plans have been financed primarily by raising equity. The Company has incurred net losses and negative cash flow from operating activities since its inception and expects to incur additional net losses while it continues to develop and plan for commercialization. As at February 28, 2023, the Company’s available liquidity was $32.16 million, consisting of cash and cash equivalents of $29.59 million and an undrawn senior loan facility from a Canadian bank of $2.57 million (CDN $3.50 million). Management actively monitors the Company’s cash resources against the Company’s short-term cash commitments to ensure the Company has sufficient liquidity to fund its costs for at least twelve months from the financial statement issuance date. Management evaluates the Company’s liquidity to determine if there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. In preparing this liquidity assessment, management applies significant judgment in estimating future cash flow requirements of the Company based on budgets and forecasts, which includes developing assumptions related to: (i) estimation of amount and timing of future cash outflows and inflows and (ii) determining what future expenditures are committed and what could be considered discretionary. Based on this assessment, management believes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations as they become due for a period of no less than twelve months from the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements. The Company’s ability to move to the next stage of its strategic development and construct manufacturing plants is dependent on whether the Company can obtain the necessary financing through a combination of the issuance of debt, equity, and/or joint ventures and/or government incentive programs. The Company is working with its joint venture partners to put in place the financing plan for the rollout of large-scale manufacturing in Asia and Europe, including the planned first Asian manufacturing facility in Ulsan, South Korea. However, there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in attracting additional funding. Even if additional financing is available, it may not be available on terms favorable to the Company. Failure to secure additional financing on favorable terms when it becomes required would have an adverse effect on the Company’s financial position and on its ability to execute its business plan. The Company has committed a portion of its cash resources for certain long lead equipment and may enter into additional commitments to accelerate commercial projects within targeted construction timeframes.Revenue recognition The Company recognizes revenue with customers in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). This standard applies to all contracts with customers, except for contracts that are within the scope of other standards, such as leases, insurance, collaboration arrangements and financial instruments. Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue when its customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that the Company determines are within the scope of ASC 606, the Company performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer. At contract inception, once the contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC 606, the Company assesses the goods or services promised within each contract and determines those that are performance obligations and assesses whether each promised good or service is distinct. The Company then recognizes as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied. The Company enters into contracts with customers to sell Loop™ PET resin. These contracts include a single performance obligation, which is the delivery of Loop™ PET resin, and the transaction price is a fixed rate per delivered volume. Revenue is recognized when control of the product transfers to the customer, which is when product is delivered to the customer location. Shipping and handling costs are accounted for as a fulfillment cost. Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to use its judgment to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Those estimates and assumptions include the going concern assessment, estimates for depreciable lives of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, analysis of impairments of long-lived assets and intangible assets, recoverability tax credits receivable, accruals for potential liabilities, assumptions made in calculating the fair value of stock-based compensation and other equity instruments, and the assessment of performance conditions for stock-based compensation awards. Fair value of financial instruments The Company applies Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Codification (“ASC”) 820, Fair Value Measurement, which defines fair value and establishes a framework for measuring fair value and making disclosures about fair value measurements. FASB ASC 820 establishes a hierarchal disclosure framework which prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observability used in measuring financial instruments at fair value. Market price observability is impacted by a number of factors, including the type of financial instruments and the characteristics specific to them. Financial instruments with readily available quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value. There are three levels within the hierarchy that may be used to measure fair value: <table cellpadding="0" style="border-spacing:0;font-size:10pt;width:100%"><tbody><tr style="height:15px"><td style="width:8%;vertical-align:top;">Level 1 –</td><td style="width:91%;vertical-align:bottom;">A quoted price in an active market for identical assets or liabilities.</td></tr><tr style="height:15px"><td style="width:8%;"/><td style="width:91%;"/></tr><tr style="height:15px"><td style="width:8%;vertical-align:top;">Level 2 –</td><td style="width:91%;vertical-align:bottom;">Significant pricing inputs that are observable, which are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from independent sources.</td></tr><tr style="height:15px"><td style="width:8%;"/><td style="width:91%;"/></tr><tr style="height:15px"><td style="width:8%;vertical-align:top;">Level 3 –</td><td style="width:91%;vertical-align:bottom;">Significant pricing inputs that are unobservable, which are inputs that reflect the Company’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.</td></tr></tbody></table> The fair value measurements level of an asset or liability within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used should maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The valuation methodologies described above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of future net realizable value or reflective of future fair values.The fair value of cash, cash equivalents and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying values due to their short-term maturity. Research and development expenses Research and development costs are charged to expense as costs are incurred in performing research and development activities. Research and development expenses relate primarily to process development and design, customer trials and characterization studies, testing of pre-production samples, machinery and equipment expenditures for use in the production facility in Terrebonne, Québec (the “Terrebonne Facility”), compensation, and consulting and engineering fees. Research and development costs are presented net of related tax credits and government grants. Government grants US GAAP for profit-oriented entities does not define government grants; nor is there specific guidance applicable to government grants. Under the Company’s accounting policy for government grants and consistent with non-authoritative guidance, grants are recognized on a systematic basis over the periods in which the entity recognizes the related costs. Grants that relate to the acquisition of an asset are recognized as a reduction of the cost of the asset and in the statement of operations and comprehensive loss as the asset is depreciated or amortized. A grant that is compensation for expenses or losses already incurred, or for which there are no future related costs, is recognized in the statement of operations and comprehensive loss in the period in which it becomes receivable. Low-interest loans or interest-free loans from a government are initially measured at fair value and an interest expense is recognized on the loan subsequently under the effective interest method, with the difference recognized as a government grant. Reimbursable tax credits are recognized when amounts can be reasonably estimated on a systematic basis over the periods in which the Company recognizes the related costs. The Company is currently eligible for reimbursable Provincial research and development tax credits and investment tax credits, which are related to costs associated with our Terrebonne Facility and recorded as a reduction of research and development expenses. Deferred financing costs and other transaction costs Deferred financing costs represent commitment fees, legal fees and other costs associated with obtaining commitments for financing. These fees are amortized as a component of interest expense over the terms of the respective financing agreements on a straight-line basis. Unamortized deferred financing fees are expensed in full when the associated debt is refinanced or repaid before maturity. Costs incurred in seeking financial transactions that do not close are expensed in the period in which it is determined that the financing will not be successful. Transaction costs associated with issuing equity are reflected as a reduction of accumulated paid-in-capital. Foreign currency translations and transactions The accompanying 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”). The Company currently is not engaged in any currency hedging activities. For transactions and balances, monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency of the entity at the prevailing exchange rate at the reporting date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities, and revenue and expense items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rate prevailing at the dates of the respective transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, except for gains or losses arising from the translation of intercompany balances denominated in foreign currencies that forms part in the net investment in the subsidiary which are included in OCI. Property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost, net of accumulated amortization and impairment, and are amortized over their estimated useful lives, unless the useful life is indefinite, using the straight-line method over the following periods: <table cellpadding="0" style="border-spacing:0;font-size:10pt;width:100%"><tbody><tr style="height:15px"><td style="width:30%;">Building</td><td style="width:70%;">30 years</td></tr><tr style="height:15px"><td>Land</td><td>Indefinite</td></tr><tr style="height:15px"><td>Office equipment and furniture</td><td>8 years</td></tr><tr style="height:15px"><td>Building and land improvements</td><td>5-10 years</td></tr></tbody></table> Costs related to repairs and maintenance of property, plant and equipment are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. Upon sale or disposal, the Company writes off the cost of the asset and the related amount of accumulated depreciation. The resulting gain or loss is included in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.Management reviews the carrying values of its property, plant and equipment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group might not be recoverable. Assets are grouped at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent when testing for, and measuring for, impairment. In performing its review of recoverability, the Company estimates the future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset or asset group and its eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset or asset group, an impairment loss is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations. Measurement of the impairment loss is based on the excess of the carrying amount of the asset or asset group over the fair value calculated using discounted expected future cash flows. Assets held for sale Assets are classified as held for sale when they met the criteria set out in ASC 360-10-45-9 Long-lived assets classified as held for sale: <table cellpadding="0" style="border-spacing:0;text-align:justify;font:10pt times new roman;width:100%"><tbody><tr style="height:15px"><td style="width:4%;"> </td><td style="width:4%;vertical-align:top;">·</td><td style="vertical-align:top;">Management, having the authority to approve the action, commits to a plan to sell the asset;</td></tr><tr style="height:15px"><td> </td><td style="vertical-align:top;">·</td><td style="vertical-align:top;">The asset is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such assets;</td></tr><tr style="height:15px"><td> </td><td style="vertical-align:top;">·</td><td style="vertical-align:top;">An active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to complete the plan to sell the asset have been initiated;</td></tr><tr style="height:15px"><td> </td><td style="vertical-align:top;">·</td><td style="vertical-align:top;">The sale of the asset is probable, and transfer of the asset is expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale, within one year;</td></tr><tr style="height:15px"><td> </td><td style="vertical-align:top;">·</td><td style="vertical-align:top;">The asset is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value; and</td></tr><tr style="height:15px"><td> </td><td style="vertical-align:top;">·</td><td style="vertical-align:top;">Actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn.</td></tr></tbody></table> When the criteria are met, the assets are presented at the lesser of fair market value, net of selling costs, and amortized cost in current assets. Stock‑based compensation The Company periodically issues stock options, warrants and restricted stock units to employees and non-employees in non-capital raising transactions for services and financing expenses. The Company accounts for stock options granted to employees based on the authoritative guidance provided by the FASB wherein the fair value of the award is measured on the grant date and recognized as compensation expense on the straight-line basis over the vesting period. When performance conditions exist, the Company recognizes compensation expenses when it becomes probable that the performance condition will be met. Forfeitures on share-based payments are recognized as they occur. The Company accounts for stock options and warrants granted to non-employees in accordance with the authoritative guidance of the FASB wherein the fair value of the stock compensation is based upon the measurement date determined as the earlier of the date at which either a) a commitment is reached with the counterparty for performance or b) the counterparty completes its performance. The Company estimates the fair value of restricted stock unit awards to employees and directors based on its intrinsic value at date of grant. The fair value of the stock options granted is estimated using the Black-Scholes model, which uses certain assumptions related to risk-free interest rates, expected volatility, expected life of the stock options, and future dividends. Stock-based compensation expense is recorded based on the value derived from the Black-Scholes model and on actual experience. The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model could materially affect stock-based compensation expenses recorded in the current and future periods.Restricted cash Cash held by the Company restricted as to withdrawal or use is presented as restricted cash in the consolidated balance sheet. As at February 28, 2023, restricted cash comprised of a customer deposit which is restricted for use on a commercial project, as discussed in Note 10. Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value using the average cost method. Inventory cost includes direct labor, cost of raw materials and production overhead. The Company separates its inventories into three main categories: raw materials, work in process, and finished goods. The raw materials category includes goods used in the production process that have not yet entered the production process at the balance sheet date and mainly comprises chemicals and other process consumables. The work in process category includes goods that are in the production process at the balance sheet date and mainly comprises monomers that have not yet been polymerized into Loop™ branded PET resin. The finished goods category includes goods that have completed the production process at the balance sheet date and mainly comprises Loop™ branded PET resin. Intangible assets Intangible assets are recorded at cost, net of accumulated amortization and impairment, and are amortized over their estimated useful lives, unless the useful life is indefinite, using the straight-line method over 7 years. The Company reviews the carrying value of intangible assets subject to amortization whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an intangible asset or asset group might not be recoverable or a change in the remaining useful life of an intangible asset. If the carrying value of an asset exceeds its undiscounted cash flows, the Company writes down the carrying value of the intangible asset to its fair value in the period identified. If the carrying value of assets is determined not to be recoverable, the Company records an impairment loss equal to the excess of the carrying value over the fair value of the assets. The Company’s estimate of fair value is based on the best information available, in the absence of quoted market prices. The Company generally calculates fair value as the present value of estimated future cash flows that the Company expects to generate from the asset. If the estimate of an intangible asset’s remaining useful life is changed, the Company amortizes the remaining carrying value of the intangible asset prospectively over the revised remaining useful life. Income taxes The Company calculates its provision for income tax on the basis of the tax laws enacted at the balance sheet date in the countries where the Company and its subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income, in accordance with FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes. The Company uses an asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting for income taxes that allows recognition and measurement of deferred tax assets based upon the likelihood of realization of tax benefits in future years. Under the asset and liability approach, deferred taxes are provided for the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not these items will either expire before the Company is able to realize their benefits, or that future deductibility is uncertain. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. Net 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 years ended February 28, 2023 and February 28, 2022, the calculations of basic and diluted loss per share are the same because potential dilutive securities would have an antidilutive effect. As at February 28, 2023, the potentially dilutive securities consisted of 2,542,000 outstanding stock options (2022 – 1,570,000), 3,888,618 outstanding restricted stock units (2022 – 4,018,567), and 7,089,400 outstanding warrants (2022 – 11,659,418).Recently adopted accounting pronouncements In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses”. This ASU added a new impairment model (known as the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model) that is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. Under the new guidance, an entity recognizes an allowance for its estimate of expected credit losses and applies to most debt instruments, trade receivables, lease receivables, financial guarantee contracts, and other loan commitments. The CECL model does not have a minimum threshold for recognition of impairment losses and entities will need to measure expected credit losses on assets that have a low risk of loss. The adoption of this accounting guidance for the year ended February 28, 2023 did not impact the disclosures in our Consolidated Financial Statements. Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted There were no new accounting pronouncements issued which could have a significant effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Liquidity Risk Assessment Since its inception, the Company has been in the pre-commercialization stage with limited revenues from customers, and its ongoing operations and commercialization plans have been financed primarily by raising equity. The Company has incurred net losses and negative cash flow from operating activities since its inception and expects to incur additional net losses while it continues to develop and plan for commercialization. As at February 28, 2023, the Company’s available liquidity was $32.16 million, consisting of cash and cash equivalents of $29.59 million and an undrawn senior loan facility from a Canadian bank of $2.57 million (CDN $3.50 million). Management actively monitors the Company’s cash resources against the Company’s short-term cash commitments to ensure the Company has sufficient liquidity to fund its costs for at least twelve months from the financial statement issuance date. Management evaluates the Company’s liquidity to determine if there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. In preparing this liquidity assessment, management applies significant judgment in estimating future cash flow requirements of the Company based on budgets and forecasts, which includes developing assumptions related to: (i) estimation of amount and timing of future cash outflows and inflows and (ii) determining what future expenditures are committed and what could be considered discretionary. Based on this assessment, management believes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations as they become due for a period of no less than twelve months from the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements. The Company’s ability to move to the next stage of its strategic development and construct manufacturing plants is dependent on whether the Company can obtain the necessary financing through a combination of the issuance of debt, equity, and/or joint ventures and/or government incentive programs. The Company is working with its joint venture partners to put in place the financing plan for the rollout of large-scale manufacturing in Asia and Europe, including the planned first Asian manufacturing facility in Ulsan, South Korea. However, there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in attracting additional funding. Even if additional financing is available, it may not be available on terms favorable to the Company. Failure to secure additional financing on favorable terms when it becomes required would have an adverse effect on the Company’s financial position and on its ability to execute its business plan. The Company has committed a portion of its cash resources for certain long lead equipment and may enter into additional commitments to accelerate commercial projects within targeted construction timeframes. 32160000

Revenue recognition The Company recognizes revenue with customers in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). This standard applies to all contracts with customers, except for contracts that are within the scope of other standards, such as leases, insurance, collaboration arrangements and financial instruments. Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue when its customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that the Company determines are within the scope of ASC 606, the Company performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer. At contract inception, once the contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC 606, the Company assesses the goods or services promised within each contract and determines those that are performance obligations and assesses whether each promised good or service is distinct. The Company then recognizes as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied. The Company enters into contracts with customers to sell Loop™ PET resin. These contracts include a single performance obligation, which is the delivery of Loop™ PET resin, and the transaction price is a fixed rate per delivered volume. Revenue is recognized when control of the product transfers to the customer, which is when product is delivered to the customer location. Shipping and handling costs are accounted for as a fulfillment cost.

Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to use its judgment to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Those estimates and assumptions include the going concern assessment, estimates for depreciable lives of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, analysis of impairments of long-lived assets and intangible assets, recoverability tax credits receivable, accruals for potential liabilities, assumptions made in calculating the fair value of stock-based compensation and other equity instruments, and the assessment of performance conditions for stock-based compensation awards.

Fair value of financial instruments The Company applies Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Codification (“ASC”) 820, Fair Value Measurement, which defines fair value and establishes a framework for measuring fair value and making disclosures about fair value measurements. FASB ASC 820 establishes a hierarchal disclosure framework which prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observability used in measuring financial instruments at fair value. Market price observability is impacted by a number of factors, including the type of financial instruments and the characteristics specific to them. Financial instruments with readily available quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value. There are three levels within the hierarchy that may be used to measure fair value: <table cellpadding="0" style="border-spacing:0;font-size:10pt;width:100%"><tbody><tr style="height:15px"><td style="width:8%;vertical-align:top;">Level 1 –</td><td style="width:91%;vertical-align:bottom;">A quoted price in an active market for identical assets or liabilities.</td></tr><tr style="height:15px"><td style="width:8%;"/><td style="width:91%;"/></tr><tr style="height:15px"><td style="width:8%;vertical-align:top;">Level 2 –</td><td style="width:91%;vertical-align:bottom;">Significant pricing inputs that are observable, which are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from independent sources.</td></tr><tr style="height:15px"><td style="width:8%;"/><td style="width:91%;"/></tr><tr style="height:15px"><td style="width:8%;vertical-align:top;">Level 3 –</td><td style="width:91%;vertical-align:bottom;">Significant pricing inputs that are unobservable, which are inputs that reflect the Company’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.</td></tr></tbody></table> The fair value measurements level of an asset or liability within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used should maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The valuation methodologies described above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of future net realizable value or reflective of future fair values.The fair value of cash, cash equivalents and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying values due to their short-term maturity.

Research and development costs are charged to expense as costs are incurred in performing research and development activities. Research and development expenses relate primarily to process development and design, customer trials and characterization studies, testing of pre-production samples, machinery and equipment expenditures for use in the production facility in Terrebonne, Québec (the “Terrebonne Facility”), compensation, and consulting and engineering fees. Research and development costs are presented net of related tax credits and government grants.

Government grants US GAAP for profit-oriented entities does not define government grants; nor is there specific guidance applicable to government grants. Under the Company’s accounting policy for government grants and consistent with non-authoritative guidance, grants are recognized on a systematic basis over the periods in which the entity recognizes the related costs. Grants that relate to the acquisition of an asset are recognized as a reduction of the cost of the asset and in the statement of operations and comprehensive loss as the asset is depreciated or amortized. A grant that is compensation for expenses or losses already incurred, or for which there are no future related costs, is recognized in the statement of operations and comprehensive loss in the period in which it becomes receivable. Low-interest loans or interest-free loans from a government are initially measured at fair value and an interest expense is recognized on the loan subsequently under the effective interest method, with the difference recognized as a government grant. Reimbursable tax credits are recognized when amounts can be reasonably estimated on a systematic basis over the periods in which the Company recognizes the related costs. The Company is currently eligible for reimbursable Provincial research and development tax credits and investment tax credits, which are related to costs associated with our Terrebonne Facility and recorded as a reduction of research and development expenses. Deferred financing costs and other transaction costs Deferred financing costs represent commitment fees, legal fees and other costs associated with obtaining commitments for financing. These fees are amortized as a component of interest expense over the terms of the respective financing agreements on a straight-line basis. Unamortized deferred financing fees are expensed in full when the associated debt is refinanced or repaid before maturity. Costs incurred in seeking financial transactions that do not close are expensed in the period in which it is determined that the financing will not be successful. Transaction costs associated with issuing equity are reflected as a reduction of accumulated paid-in-capital.

Foreign currency translations and transactions The accompanying 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”). The Company currently is not engaged in any currency hedging activities. For transactions and balances, monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency of the entity at the prevailing exchange rate at the reporting date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities, and revenue and expense items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rate prevailing at the dates of the respective transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, except for gains or losses arising from the translation of intercompany balances denominated in foreign currencies that forms part in the net investment in the subsidiary which are included in OCI.

Property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost, net of accumulated amortization and impairment, and are amortized over their estimated useful lives, unless the useful life is indefinite, using the straight-line method over the following periods: <table cellpadding="0" style="border-spacing:0;font-size:10pt;width:100%"><tbody><tr style="height:15px"><td style="width:30%;">Building</td><td style="width:70%;">30 years</td></tr><tr style="height:15px"><td>Land</td><td>Indefinite</td></tr><tr style="height:15px"><td>Office equipment and furniture</td><td>8 years</td></tr><tr style="height:15px"><td>Building and land improvements</td><td>5-10 years</td></tr></tbody></table> Costs related to repairs and maintenance of property, plant and equipment are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. Upon sale or disposal, the Company writes off the cost of the asset and the related amount of accumulated depreciation. The resulting gain or loss is included in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.Management reviews the carrying values of its property, plant and equipment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group might not be recoverable. Assets are grouped at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent when testing for, and measuring for, impairment. In performing its review of recoverability, the Company estimates the future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset or asset group and its eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset or asset group, an impairment loss is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations. Measurement of the impairment loss is based on the excess of the carrying amount of the asset or asset group over the fair value calculated using discounted expected future cash flows.

Assets held for sale Assets are classified as held for sale when they met the criteria set out in ASC 360-10-45-9 Long-lived assets classified as held for sale: <table cellpadding="0" style="border-spacing:0;text-align:justify;font:10pt times new roman;width:100%"><tbody><tr style="height:15px"><td style="width:4%;"> </td><td style="width:4%;vertical-align:top;">·</td><td style="vertical-align:top;">Management, having the authority to approve the action, commits to a plan to sell the asset;</td></tr><tr style="height:15px"><td> </td><td style="vertical-align:top;">·</td><td style="vertical-align:top;">The asset is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such assets;</td></tr><tr style="height:15px"><td> </td><td style="vertical-align:top;">·</td><td style="vertical-align:top;">An active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to complete the plan to sell the asset have been initiated;</td></tr><tr style="height:15px"><td> </td><td style="vertical-align:top;">·</td><td style="vertical-align:top;">The sale of the asset is probable, and transfer of the asset is expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale, within one year;</td></tr><tr style="height:15px"><td> </td><td style="vertical-align:top;">·</td><td style="vertical-align:top;">The asset is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value; and</td></tr><tr style="height:15px"><td> </td><td style="vertical-align:top;">·</td><td style="vertical-align:top;">Actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn.</td></tr></tbody></table> When the criteria are met, the assets are presented at the lesser of fair market value, net of selling costs, and amortized cost in current assets. Stock‑based compensation The Company periodically issues stock options, warrants and restricted stock units to employees and non-employees in non-capital raising transactions for services and financing expenses. The Company accounts for stock options granted to employees based on the authoritative guidance provided by the FASB wherein the fair value of the award is measured on the grant date and recognized as compensation expense on the straight-line basis over the vesting period. When performance conditions exist, the Company recognizes compensation expenses when it becomes probable that the performance condition will be met. Forfeitures on share-based payments are recognized as they occur. The Company accounts for stock options and warrants granted to non-employees in accordance with the authoritative guidance of the FASB wherein the fair value of the stock compensation is based upon the measurement date determined as the earlier of the date at which either a) a commitment is reached with the counterparty for performance or b) the counterparty completes its performance. The Company estimates the fair value of restricted stock unit awards to employees and directors based on its intrinsic value at date of grant. The fair value of the stock options granted is estimated using the Black-Scholes model, which uses certain assumptions related to risk-free interest rates, expected volatility, expected life of the stock options, and future dividends. Stock-based compensation expense is recorded based on the value derived from the Black-Scholes model and on actual experience. The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model could materially affect stock-based compensation expenses recorded in the current and future periods. Restricted cash Cash held by the Company restricted as to withdrawal or use is presented as restricted cash in the consolidated balance sheet. As at February 28, 2023, restricted cash comprised of a customer deposit which is restricted for use on a commercial project, as discussed in Note 10.

Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value using the average cost method. Inventory cost includes direct labor, cost of raw materials and production overhead. The Company separates its inventories into three main categories: raw materials, work in process, and finished goods. The raw materials category includes goods used in the production process that have not yet entered the production process at the balance sheet date and mainly comprises chemicals and other process consumables. The work in process category includes goods that are in the production process at the balance sheet date and mainly comprises monomers that have not yet been polymerized into Loop™ branded PET resin. The finished goods category includes goods that have completed the production process at the balance sheet date and mainly comprises Loop™ branded PET resin.

Intangible assets Intangible assets are recorded at cost, net of accumulated amortization and impairment, and are amortized over their estimated useful lives, unless the useful life is indefinite, using the straight-line method over 7 years. The Company reviews the carrying value of intangible assets subject to amortization whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an intangible asset or asset group might not be recoverable or a change in the remaining useful life of an intangible asset. If the carrying value of an asset exceeds its undiscounted cash flows, the Company writes down the carrying value of the intangible asset to its fair value in the period identified. If the carrying value of assets is determined not to be recoverable, the Company records an impairment loss equal to the excess of the carrying value over the fair value of the assets. The Company’s estimate of fair value is based on the best information available, in the absence of quoted market prices. The Company generally calculates fair value as the present value of estimated future cash flows that the Company expects to generate from the asset. If the estimate of an intangible asset’s remaining useful life is changed, the Company amortizes the remaining carrying value of the intangible asset prospectively over the revised remaining useful life.

Income taxes The Company calculates its provision for income tax on the basis of the tax laws enacted at the balance sheet date in the countries where the Company and its subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income, in accordance with FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes. The Company uses an asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting for income taxes that allows recognition and measurement of deferred tax assets based upon the likelihood of realization of tax benefits in future years. Under the asset and liability approach, deferred taxes are provided for the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not these items will either expire before the Company is able to realize their benefits, or that future deductibility is uncertain. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense.

Net 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 years ended February 28, 2023 and February 28, 2022, the calculations of basic and diluted loss per share are the same because potential dilutive securities would have an antidilutive effect. As at February 28, 2023, the potentially dilutive securities consisted of 2,542,000 outstanding stock options (2022 – 1,570,000), 3,888,618 outstanding restricted stock units (2022 – 4,018,567), and 7,089,400 outstanding warrants (2022 – 11,659,418).

Recently adopted accounting pronouncements In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses”. This ASU added a new impairment model (known as the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model) that is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. Under the new guidance, an entity recognizes an allowance for its estimate of expected credit losses and applies to most debt instruments, trade receivables, lease receivables, financial guarantee contracts, and other loan commitments. The CECL model does not have a minimum threshold for recognition of impairment losses and entities will need to measure expected credit losses on assets that have a low risk of loss. The adoption of this accounting guidance for the year ended February 28, 2023 did not impact the disclosures in our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted There were no new accounting pronouncements issued which could have a significant effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. 3.

As such, the Company is obligated to collect from third parties, and is entitled to claim sales taxes paid on its expenses and capital expenditures incurred in Canada. In addition, Loop Canada Inc. is entitled to receive government assistance in the form of refundable and non-refundable research and development tax credits from the federal and provincial taxation authorities, based on qualifying expenditures incurred during the fiscal year. The refundable credits are from the provincial taxation authorities and are not dependent on its ongoing tax status or tax position and accordingly are not considered part of income taxes. The Company records refundable tax credits as a reduction of research and development expenses when the Company can reasonably estimate the amounts and it is more likely than not, they will be received. During the year ended February 28, 2023, the Company recorded tax credits of $362,096 (2022 – $91,960) as a reduction of research and development expenses and received $249,593 (2022 – $216,300) from taxation authorities for research and development tax credits, net of fees. The Company is also eligible for non-refundable research and development tax credits from the federal taxation authorities which can be used as a reduction of income tax expense in any given year to the extent the Company has taxable income. The Company has not had taxable income since inception and has not been able to use these non-refundable federal research and development tax credits. During the year ended February 28, 2023, the Company was eligible for non-cash research and development tax credits in the amount of $764,528 (2022 – $442,943). These non-cash tax credits, which have an unlimited carry forward period are not recognized in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. As at February 28, 2023, the carry forward balance of non-cash research and development tax credits was $1,979,978 (2022 - $1,589,580). Loop Canada Inc. is also eligible for refundable investment tax credits from the provincial taxation authorities based on qualifying expenditures for manufacturing equipment. The Company records refundable tax credits as a reduction of research and development expenses when the Company can reasonably estimate the amounts and it is more likely than not, they will be received. During the year ended February 28, 2023, the Company recorded investment tax credits of $837,041 (2022 – nil) as a reduction of research and development expenses and received $348,161 (2022 – nil) from taxation authorities for investment tax credits. <table cellpadding="0" style="border-spacing:0;text-align:left;font:10pt times new roman;width:100%"><tbody><tr style="height:15px"><td> </td><td style="white-space: nowrap;"> </td><td class="hdcell" colspan="2" style="BORDER-BOTTOM: 1px solid;width:9%;vertical-align:bottom;text-align:center;">February 28, 2023</td><td style="PADDING-BOTTOM: 1px;white-space: nowrap;"> </td><td style="white-space: nowrap;"> </td><td class="hdcell" colspan="2" style="BORDER-BOTTOM: 1px solid;width:9%;vertical-align:bottom;text-align:center;">February 28,2022</td><td style="PADDING-BOTTOM: 1px;white-space: nowrap;"> </td></tr><tr style="height:15px;background-color:#cceeff"><td style="vertical-align:top;">Sales tax</td><td style="width:1%;white-space: nowrap;"> </td><td style="width:1%;vertical-align:bottom;white-space: nowrap;">$</td><td class="ffcell" style="width:9%;vertical-align:bottom;text-align:right;">170,490</td><td style="width:1%;white-space: nowrap;"> </td><td style="width:1%;white-space: nowrap;"> </td><td style="width:1%;vertical-align:bottom;white-space: nowrap;">$</td><td class="ffcell" style="width:9%;vertical-align:bottom;text-align:right;">1,337,783</td><td style="width:1%;white-space: nowrap;"> </td></tr><tr style="height:15px;background-color:#ffffff"><td style="vertical-align:top;">Investment tax credits</td><td style="width:1%;white-space: nowrap;"> </td><td style="width:1%;white-space: nowrap;"> </td><td class="ffcell" style="width:9%;vertical-align:bottom;text-align:right;">460,754</td><td style="width:1%;white-space: nowrap;"> </td><td style="width:1%;white-space: nowrap;"> </td><td style="width:1%;white-space: nowrap;"> </td><td class="ffcell" style="width:9%;vertical-align:bottom;text-align:right;">-</td><td style="width:1%;white-space: nowrap;"> </td></tr><tr style="height:15px;background-color:#cceeff"><td style="vertical-align:top;">Research and development tax credits</td><td style="width:1%;white-space: nowrap;"> </td><td style="width:1%;white-space: nowrap;"> </td><td class="ffcell" style="width:9%;vertical-align:bottom;text-align:right;">401,967</td><td style="width:1%;white-space: nowrap;"> </td><td style="width:1%;white-space: nowrap;"> </td><td style="width:1%;white-space: nowrap;"> </td><td class="ffcell" style="width:9%;vertical-align:bottom;text-align:right;">313,599</td><td style="width:1%;white-space: nowrap;"> </td></tr><tr style="height:15px;background-color:#ffffff"><td style="vertical-align:top;">Other receivables</td><td style="width:1%;white-space: nowrap;"> </td><td style="BORDER-BOTTOM: 1px solid;width:1%;white-space: nowrap;"> </td><td class="ffcell" style="BORDER-BOTTOM: 1px solid;width:9%;vertical-align:bottom;text-align:right;">41,834</td><td style="PADDING-BOTTOM: 1px;width:1%;white-space: nowrap;"> </td><td style="width:1%;white-space: nowrap;"> </td><td style="BORDER-BOTTOM: 1px solid;width:1%;white-space: nowrap;"> </td><td class="ffcell" style="BORDER-BOTTOM: 1px solid;width:9%;vertical-align:bottom;text-align:right;">64,880</td><td style="PADDING-BOTTOM: 1px;width:1%;white-space: nowrap;"> </td></tr><tr style="height:15px;background-color:#cceeff"><td> </td><td style="width:1%;white-space: nowrap;"> </td><td style="BORDER-BOTTOM: 3px double;width:1%;vertical-align:bottom;white-space: nowrap;">$</td><td class="ffcell" style="BORDER-BOTTOM: 3px double;width:9%;vertical-align:bottom;text-align:right;">1,075,045</td><td style="PADDING-BOTTOM: 3px;width:1%;white-space: nowrap;"> </td><td style="width:1%;white-space: nowrap;"> </td><td style="BORDER-BOTTOM: 3px double;width:1%;vertical-align:bottom;white-space: nowrap;">$</td><td class="ffcell" style="BORDER-BOTTOM: 3px double;width:9%;vertical-align:bottom;text-align:right;">1,716,262</td><td style="PADDING-BOTTOM: 3px;width:1%;white-space: nowrap;"> </td></tr></tbody></table>

receivables, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying values due to their short-term maturity. Currency Risk We are subject to risks associated with currency fluctuations, and changes in foreign currency exchange rates could impact our results of operations. 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.

10. Customer Deposits In October 2022, the Company received a cash deposit from a customer of $1,000,000 in relation to an executed capacity reservation agreement. The deposit is to be credited against any future sales of Loop™ PET resin over a five-year period, commencing two years after the first delivery of Loop™ PET resin to the customer. Under the terms of the capacity reservation agreement, the cash deposit is designated for expenditures related to the first Infinite Loop™ manufacturing facility and is refundable to the customer in the event that the Infinite Loop™ manufacturing facility is not constructed. As the cash deposit is restricted in its use, it has been reflected as restricted cash as at February 28, 2023. A corresponding contract liability is recognized in the consolidated balance sheet. The remaining $11,732 in customer deposits is related to a contract with a customer for the sale of Loop™ PET resin from the Terrebonne Facility.

11. Joint Venture On September 15, 2018, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Loop Innovations, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, entered into a Joint Venture Agreement (the “Joint Venture Agreement”) with Indorama Ventures Holdings LP, USA, an indirect subsidiary of Indorama Ventures Public Company Limited, to manufacture and commercialize sustainable polyester resin. Each company has a 50/50 equity interest in Indorama Loop Technologies, LLC (“ILT”), which was specifically formed to operate and execute the joint venture. Under the Joint Venture Agreement, Indorama Ventures is contributing manufacturing knowledge and Loop is required to contribute its proprietary technology. Specifically, the Company contributed an exclusive worldwide royalty-free license to ILT to use its proprietary technology to produce 100% sustainably produced PET resin and polyester fiber. ILT meets the accounting definition of a joint venture where neither party has control of the joint venture entity and both parties have joint control over the decision-making process in ILT. As such, the Company uses the equity method of accounting to account for its share of the investment in ILT. There were no operations in ILT from the date of inception of September 24, 2018 to February 28, 2023. During the year ended February 28, 2023, we made no contributions to ILT (2022 – nil). All contributions to ILT, which have been matched by Indorama Ventures, were used to fund engineering design costs which were capitalized in ILT. In the years ended February 28, 2021 and 2022, the Company achieved significant advancements in its engineering design independently from that which was accomplished in ILT. Due to these advancements, during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company assessed that the value of the engineering design costs capitalized in ILT were obsolete and no longer recoverable. Therefore, the Company recorded a loss of $1,119,078 on its investment in ILT during the year ended February 28, 2022, representing the Company’s 50% portion of the impairment of engineering design costs capitalized in ILT. As at February 28, 2023, the carrying value of the equity investment was $380,922 (2022 – $380,922), which represents 50% of the cash balance in ILT. To conform with the terms of the SK strategic partnership described in Note 14, on June 18, 2021, the Company, Loop Innovations, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Loop Innovations”), Indorama Ventures Holdings LP (“Indorama”) and Indorama Loop Technologies, LLC (the “Indorama Joint Venture Company”) amended (i) the Limited Liability Company Agreement between Loop Innovations, LLC and Indorama Ventures Holdings LP (the “LLC Agreement”), (ii) the Marketing Agreement between the Company and Indorama Loop Technologies, LLC (the “Marketing Agreement”) and (iii) the License Agreement between the Company and the Indorama Joint Venture Company (the “License Agreement”), each dated September 24, 2018 (collectively such amendments, the “Indorama Joint Venture Amendments”). Under the Indorama Joint Venture Amendments, the Company, Indorama and the Indorama Joint Venture Company agreed to: <table cellpadding="0" style="border-spacing:0;text-align:justify;font:10pt times new roman;width:100%"><tbody><tr style="height:15px"><td style="width:4%;"> </td><td style="width:4%;vertical-align:top;">·</td><td style="vertical-align:top;">terminate Indorama’s right of first refusal under the LLC Agreement over any facility to produce products utilizing any waste-to-resin technology applying the PET depolymerization process of the Company;</td></tr><tr style="height:15px"><td> </td><td style="vertical-align:top;">·</td><td style="vertical-align:top;">amend the non-compete obligations under the LLC Agreement to solely apply to the Company;</td></tr><tr style="height:15px"><td> </td><td style="vertical-align:top;">·</td><td style="vertical-align:top;">limit the scope of the Company’s grant of intellectual property rights and the scope of the exclusivity rights of the Indorama Joint Venture Company for the retrofit of existing facilities under the License Agreement to North America and Europe; and</td></tr><tr style="height:15px"><td> </td><td style="vertical-align:top;">·</td><td style="vertical-align:top;">limit the scope of the Indorama Joint Venture Company’s permitted marketing rights under the Marketing Agreement to North America and Europe.</td></tr></tbody></table> The joint venture made a decision in July 2020 that due to the COVID-19 situation it would delay work.

facility On February 21, 2020, the Company received $1,623,362 (CDN$2,209,234) from Investissement Québec as the first disbursement of our financing facility, out of a maximum of $3,380,116 (CDN$4,600,000) (the “Financing Facility”). The loan bears interest at a rate of 2.36% and there is a 36-month moratorium on both capital and interest repayments starting on the date of the first disbursement, after which capital and interest is repayable in 84 monthly installments. The Company established the fair value of the loan for the first disbursement at $1,354,408 based on a discount rate of 5.45%, which reflected a debt discount of $290,714. The discount rate used was based on the external financing from a Canadian bank. The Company, under the loan agreement, was required to pay fees representing 1% of the loan amount, $33,801 (CDN$46,000) to Investissement Québec which we deferred and recorded as a reduction of the Financing Facility. Debt discount and deferred financing expenses are amortized to “Interest and other financial expenses” in our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. On August 26, 2021, the Company received $1,756,754 (CDN$2,390,766) from Investissement Québec as the second disbursement of the Financing Facility, the balance of the total amount available under the Financing Facility. The second disbursement bears the same interest rate and repayment terms as the first disbursement. The Company established the fair value of the loan for the first disbursement at $1,750,395 based on a discount rate of 3.95%, which reflected a debt discount of $139,390. The discount rate used was based on the external financing from a Canadian bank. There were no fees associated with the second disbursement. Debt discount and deferred financing expenses are amortized to “Interest and other financial expenses” in our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. The Company recorded interest expense on the Investissement Québec loan for the year ended February 28, 2023 in the amount of $86,028 (2022 – $65,908) and an accretion expense of $69,507 (2022 – $55,332). The Company also agreed to issue to Investissement Québec warrants to purchase shares of common stock of the Company in an amount equal to 10% of each disbursement up to a maximum aggregate amount of $338,012 (CDN$460,000). The exercise price of the warrants is equal to the higher of (i) $11.00 per share and (ii) the ten-day weighted average closing price of Loop shares of common stock on the Nasdaq stock market for the 10 days prior to the issue of the warrants. The warrants can be exercised immediately upon grant and have a term of three years from the date of issuance. The loan can be repaid at any time by the Company without penalty. In connection with the first disbursement of the Financing Facility, the Company issued a warrant (“First Disbursement Warrant”) to acquire 15,153 shares of common stock at a strike price of $11.00 per share to Investissement Québec. The Company determined the fair value of the warrants using the Black-Scholes pricing formula. The fair value of the First Disbursement Warrant was determined to be $77,954 and is included in “Additional paid-in capital – Warrants” in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. In connection with the second disbursement of the Financing Facility, the Company issued a warrant (“Second Disbursement Warrant”) to acquire 17,180 shares of common stock at a strike price of $11.00 per share to Investissement Québec. The Company determined the fair value of the warrants using the Black-Scholes pricing formula. The fair value of the First Disbursement Warrant was determined to be $69,323 and is included in “Additional paid-in capital – Warrants” in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The First Disbursement Warrants expired in the year ended February 28, 2023 and the Second Disbursement Warrants remain outstanding as at February 28, 2023. On November 21, 2022, the Company and Investissement Québec entered into an agreement to amend the existing Financing Facility which modifies the repayments of the principal amount (the “the Financing Facility Amendment”). As per the Financing Facility Amendment, a total of $36,740 (CDN $50,000) of the principal amount is repayable in monthly installments in the fiscal year ending February 29, 2024 and the remainder of the principal amount is repayable in 72 monthly installments. Under the original terms of the Financing Facility, the principal amount was repayable in 84 monthly installments beginning in March of 2023. The Financing Facility Amendment does not modify the interest rates, the repayment terms of accrued interest or any other terms of the Financing Facility. The Amendment did not meet the criteria of ASC 470, Debt for an extinguishment of debt as the Amendment did substantially modify the terms of the Financing Facility. The Company therefore applied modification accounting and no immediate gain or loss was recognized related to the Amendment. Total repayments due on the Company’s indebtedness over the next five years are as follows: <table cellpadding="0" style="border-spacing:0;text-align:left;font:10pt times new roman;width:100%"><tbody><tr style="height:15px"><td style="vertical-align:bottom;">Years ending</td><td style="white-space: nowrap;"> </td><td class="hdcell" colspan="2" style="BORDER-BOTTOM: 1px solid;width:9%;vertical-align:bottom;text-align:center;">Amount</td><td style="PADDING-BOTTOM: 1px;white-space: nowrap;"> </td></tr><tr style="height:15px;background-color:#cceeff"><td style="vertical-align:top;">February 29, 2024</td><td style="width:1%;white-space: nowrap;"> </td><td style="width:1%;vertical-align:bottom;white-space: nowrap;">$</td><td class="ffcell" style="width:9%;vertical-align:bottom;text-align:right;">62,135</td><td style="width:1%;white-space: nowrap;"> </td></tr><tr style="height:15px;background-color:#ffffff"><td style="vertical-align:top;">February 28, 2025</td><td style="width:1%;white-space: nowrap;"> </td><td style="width:1%;white-space: nowrap;"> </td><td class="ffcell" style="width:9%;vertical-align:bottom;text-align:right;">583,460</td><td style="width:1%;white-space: nowrap;"> </td></tr><tr style="height:15px;background-color:#cceeff"><td style="vertical-align:top;">February 29, 2026</td><td style="width:1%;white-space: nowrap;"> </td><td style="width:1%;white-space: nowrap;"> </td><td class="ffcell" style="width:9%;vertical-align:bottom;text-align:right;">583,460</td><td style="width:1%;white-space: nowrap;"> </td></tr><tr style="height:15px;background-color:#ffffff"><td style="vertical-align:top;">February 28, 2027</td><td style="width:1%;white-space: nowrap;"> </td><td style="width:1%;white-space: nowrap;"> </td><td class="ffcell" style="width:9%;vertical-align:bottom;text-align:right;">583,460</td><td style="width:1%;white-space: nowrap;"> </td></tr><tr style="height:15px;background-color:#cceeff"><td style="vertical-align:top;">February 29, 2028</td><td style="width:1%;white-space: nowrap;"> </td><td style="width:1%;white-space: nowrap;"> </td><td class="ffcell" style="width:9%;vertical-align:bottom;text-align:right;">583,460</td><td style="width:1%;white-space: nowrap;"> </td></tr><tr style="height:15px;background-color:#ffffff"><td style="vertical-align:top;">Thereafter</td><td style="width:1%;white-space: nowrap;"> </td><td style="BORDER-BOTTOM: 1px solid;width:1%;white-space: nowrap;"> </td><td class="ffcell" style="BORDER-BOTTOM: 1px solid;width:9%;vertical-align:bottom;text-align:right;">1,167,786</td><td style="PADDING-BOTTOM: 1px;width:1%;white-space: nowrap;"> </td></tr><tr style="height:15px;background-color:#cceeff"><td style="vertical-align:top;">Total</td><td style="width:1%;white-space: nowrap;"> </td><td style="BORDER-BOTTOM: 3px double;width:1%;vertical-align:bottom;white-space: nowrap;">$</td><td class="ffcell" style="BORDER-BOTTOM: 3px double;width:9%;vertical-align:bottom;text-align:right;">3,563,761</td><td style="PADDING-BOTTOM: 3px;width:1%;white-space: nowrap;"> </td></tr></tbody></table> Credit facility from a Canadian bank On July 26, 2022, Loop Canada, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into an Operating Credit Facility (the “Credit Facility”) with a Canadian bank.

The Credit Facility is secured by the Company’s Terrebonne, Québec property and is subject to a minimum equity covenant, tested quarterly, with which the Company was in compliance as at February 28, 2023. All borrowings under the Credit Facility will bear interest at an annual rate equal to the bank’s Canadian prime rate plus 1.0%. The Company is subject to a guarantee of the liabilities of Loop Canada Inc. As at February 28, 2023, the $2,571,827 (CDN $3,500,000) Credit Facility was available and undrawn.Term Loan On January 24, 2018, the Company obtained a $1,028,731 (CDN$1,400,000) 20-year term instalment loan (the “Loan”), from a Canadian bank. The Loan bore interest at the bank’s Canadian prime rate plus 1.5%. By agreement, the Loan was repayable in monthly payments of $4,286 (CDN$5,833) plus interest. In January 2022, we repaid the remaining balance of the Loan in full.

13. Related Party Transactions 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 (“CEO”). The employment agreement is for an indefinite term. On July 13, 2018, the Company and Mr. Solomita entered into an amendment and restatement of the employment agreement which provided for a long-term incentive grant of 4,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, in tranches of one million shares each, upon the achievement of four 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 grant of the restricted stock units became effective 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. Such approval was granted by the Company’s shareholders at the Company’s 2019 annual meeting. The restricted stock units vest upon the achievement of applicable performance milestones, as follows: <table cellpadding="0" style="border-spacing:0;font-size:10pt;text-align:justify;width:100%"><tbody><tr style="height:15px"><td style="width:4%;vertical-align:top;">i)</td><td style="vertical-align:top;">1,000,000 shares of common stock shall be issued to Mr. Solomita when the Company’s securities are listed on an exchange or the OTCQX tier of the OTC Markets;</td></tr><tr style="height:15px"><td/><td> </td></tr><tr style="height:15px"><td style="vertical-align:top;">ii)</td><td style="vertical-align:top;">1,000,000 shares of common stock shall be issued to Mr. Solomita when the Company executes a contract for a minimum quantity of 25,000 M/T of DMT/MEG or a PET;</td></tr><tr style="height:15px"><td/><td> </td></tr><tr style="height:15px"><td style="vertical-align:top;">iii)</td><td style="vertical-align:top;">1,000,000 shares of common stock shall be issued to Mr. Solomita when the Company’s first full-scale production facility is in commercial operation; and</td></tr><tr style="height:15px"><td/><td> </td></tr><tr style="height:15px"><td style="vertical-align:top;">iv)</td><td style="vertical-align:top;">1,000,000 shares of common stock shall be issued to Mr. Solomita when the Company’s second full-scale production facility is in commercial operation.</td></tr></tbody></table> During the year ended February 28, 2017, it became probable that the first milestone would be met. Accordingly, 1,000,000 performance incentive shares of common stock with a fair value of $800,000 were earned and issuable to Mr. Solomita. This amount was reflected as stock-based compensation expense during the year ended February 28, 2017 based on the grant date fair value. The 1,000,000 performance incentive shares of common stock were replaced by vested restricted stock units, of which 200,000 were settled in October 2019, 2020 and 2021, each. On April 30, 2020, the Company and Mr. Solomita entered into an amendment of Mr. Solomita’s employment agreement. The amendment clarified the milestones consistent with the shift in the Company’s business from the production of terephthalate to the production of dimethyl terephthalate, another proven monomer of PET plastic that is simpler to purify. As at February 28, 2023, 3,400,000 (2022 – 3,400,000) of Mr. Solomita’s RSUs were outstanding of which 1,400,000 were vested (2022 – 400,000). When a milestone becomes probable, the corresponding expense will be valued based on the grant date fair value on April 30, 2020, the date of the last modification of Mr. Solomita’s employment agreement. The closing price of the Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq on April 30, 2020 was $7.74 per share.The vested units are settled annually in tranches of 200,000 units on October 15 of each year, unless Mr. Solomita and the Company elect to defer settlement before such date. The unvested 2,000,000 RSUs would be forfeited if Mr. Solomita left the Company, except in the case of termination without cause or resignation for good reason, in which case he would receive 50% of the unvested RSUs at the time of termination, or 100% in the case of termination without cause or resignation for good reason within 24 months after a change in control.During the year ended February 28, 2023, Mr. Solomita met a performance milestone in relation to the signature of a supply agreement with a customer. Accordingly, 1,000,000 performance incentive RSUs with a fair value of $7,740,000 were earned and issuable to Mr. Solomita. This amount was reflected as stock-based compensation expense during the year ended February 28, 2023. On October 14, 2022, Mr. Solomita and the Company agreed to defer by one year the settlement of 400,000 RSUs that were set to settle on October 15, 2022. During the year ended February 28, 2022, no outstanding milestones were probable of being met and, accordingly, the Company did not record any additional stock-based compensation expense.

14. Stockholders’ Equity Series A Preferred Stock Mr. Solomita’s amended employment agreement of February 15, 2016 provides that the Company shall issue to Mr. Solomita one share of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock in exchange for Mr. Solomita agreeing not to terminate his employment with the Company for a period of five years from the date of the agreement. The agreement effectively provides Mr. Solomita with a “change of control” provision over the Company in the event that his ownership of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company is diluted to less than a majority. In order to issue Mr. Solomita his one share of Series A Preferred Stock under the amendment, the Company created a “blank check” preferred stock. Subsequently, the board of directors of the Company approved a Certificate of Designation creating the Series A Preferred Stock. Subsequently, the Company issued one share of Series A Preferred Stock to Mr. Solomita. The one share of Series A Preferred Stock issued to Mr. Solomita holds a majority of the total voting power so long as Mr. Solomita holds not less than 7.5% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company, assuring Mr. Solomita of control of the Company in the event that his ownership of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company is diluted to a level below a majority. Currently, Mr. Solomita’s ownership of 19,210,000 shares of common stock and 1 share of Series A Preferred Stock provides him with 75.7% of the voting control of the Company. Additionally, the one share of Series A Preferred Stock issued to Mr. Solomita contains protective provisions, which precludes the Company from taking certain actions without Mr. Solomita’s (or that of any person to whom the one share of Series A Preferred Stock is transferred) approval. More specifically, so long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Company shall not, without first obtaining the approval (by vote or written consent, as provided by law) of the holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, voting as a separate class: <table cellpadding="0" style="border-spacing:0;text-align:justify;font:10pt

18. Equity Incentive Plan On July 6, 2017, the Company adopted the 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan permits the granting of warrants, stock options, stock appreciation rights and restricted stock units to employees, directors and consultants of the Company. A total of 3,000,000 shares of common stock were initially reserved for issuance under the Plan at July 6, 2017, with annual automatic share reserve increases, as defined in the Plan, amounting to the lessor of (i) 1,500,000 shares, (ii) 5% of the outstanding shares on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year, or (iii) or such number of shares determined by the Administrator of the Plan, effective March 1, 2018. On March 1, 2022 and 2021, the Board of Directors opted to waive the annual share reserve increase. The Plan is administered by the Board of Directors who designates eligible participants to be included under the Plan, the number of awards granted, the share price pursuant to the awards and the vesting conditions and period. The awards, when granted, will have an exercise price of no less than the estimated fair value of shares at the date of grant and a life not exceeding 10 years from the grant date. However, where a participant, at the time of the grant, owns stock representing more than 10% of the voting power of the Company, the life of the options shall not exceed 5 years. The following table summarizes the continuity of the Company’s Equity Incentive Plan units during the years ended February 28, 2023 and February 28, 2022: <table cellpadding="0"

purposes expiring between 2035 and 2038, post 2018 net operating losses may be carried forward indefinitely. The Company has net operating loss carry forwards for Canadian Federal and Québec tax purposes of approximately $67,616,651 (CDN$92,019,500), 2022 – $59,310,541 (CDN$74,288,683), and $70,746,629 (CDN$96,279,088), 2022 – $61,353,534 (CDN$76,847,608), respectively, expiring between 2037 and 2043. Realization of future tax assets is dependent on future earnings, the timing and amount of which are uncertain. Accordingly, the net future tax assets have been fully offset by a valuation allowance. The valuation allowance increased by $4,346,788 and $11,241,297, respectively, for the years ended February 28, 2023 and February 28, 2022. The Company has provided a full valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets as a result of the uncertainty regarding the probability of its realization. The Company has approximately $7,471,410 (CDN$10,167,842), 2022 - $5,998,338 (CDN$7,616,689) of research and development expenditures for Canadian Federal and Québec provincial purposes that are available to reduce taxable income in future years and have an unlimited carry forward period, the benefit of which has not been reflected in these financial statements. Research and development expenditures are subject to audit by the taxation authorities and accordingly, these amounts may vary.

</td></tr></tbody></table>Assessment of the amount of value assigned to the Company’s deferred tax assets under the applicable accounting rules is judgmental. The Company is required to consider all available positive and negative evidence in evaluating the likelihood that the Company will be able to realize the benefit of its deferred tax assets in the future. Such evidence includes scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and the results of recent operations. Since this evaluation requires consideration of events that may occur some years into the future, there is an element of judgment involved. Realization of the Company’s deferred tax assets is dependent on generating sufficient taxable income in future periods. Management does not believe that it is more likely than not that future taxable income will be sufficient to allow it to recover substantially all of the value assigned to its deferred tax assets. Accordingly, the Company has provided for a valuation allowance of the Company’s deferred tax assets. The tax years subject to examination by major tax jurisdiction include the years ended February 28, 2019 and forward by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and most state jurisdictions, and the years ended February 28, 2019 and forward for the Canadian jurisdiction.

22. Commitments and Contingencies Agreement to purchase of machinery and equipment In December 2021, the Company entered into an agreement for the purchase of long lead machinery and equipment in connection with the construction of our first Infinite Loop™ manufacturing facility for up to $8,546,000, subject to various terms and conditions, including fabrication timelines and equipment inspection. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company has paid cash deposits of $3,395,650. Contingencies On October 13, 2020, the Company and certain of its officers were named as defendants in a proposed class-action lawsuit filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, captioned Olivier Tremblay, Individually and on Behalf of All Others Similarly Situated v. Loop Industries, Inc., Daniel Solomita, and Nelson Gentiletti, Case No. 7:20-cv-08538-NSR (“Tremblay Class Action”). The complaint alleges that the defendants violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) and Rule 10b-5 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by allegedly making materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as allegedly failing to disclose material adverse facts about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects, which caused the Company’s securities to trade at artificially inflated prices. The complaint seeks unspecified damages on behalf of a class of purchasers of Loop’s securities between September 24, 2018 and October 12, 2020, inclusive. On October 28, 2020, the Company and certain of its officers were named as defendants in a second proposed class-action lawsuit filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, captioned Michelle Bazzini, Individually and on Behalf of All Others Similarly Situated v. Loop Industries, Inc., Daniel Solomita, and Nelson Gentiletti, Case No. 7:20-cv-09031-NSR. The complaint allegations are similar in nature to those in the Tremblay Class Action. On January 4, 2021, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York consolidated the two proposed class-action lawsuits as In re Loop Industries, Inc. Securities Litigation, Master File No. 7:20-cv-08538-NSR. Sakari Johansson and John Jay Cappa were appointed as Co-Lead Plaintiffs and Glancy Prongay & Murray LLP and Pomerantz LLP were appointed as Co-Lead Counsel for the class. Plaintiffs served a consolidated amended complaint on February 18, 2021, which alleged that the defendants violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) and Rule 10b-5 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by allegedly making materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as allegedly failing to disclose material adverse facts about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects, which caused the Company’s securities to trade at artificially inflated prices. The consolidated amended complaint relies on the October 13, 2020 report published by a third party regarding the Company to support their allegations. Defendants served a motion to dismiss the consolidated amended complaint on April 27, 2021. Plaintiffs’ opposition to the motion to dismiss was served on May 27, 2021 and Defendants’ reply in support of the motion to dismiss was served on June 11, 2021. On March 1, 2022, the Company and the current and former officer defendants entered into an agreement for the settlement of In re Loop Industries, Inc. Securities Litigation, and, on March 4, 2022, advised the Court of the agreement to settle. The agreement, which is subject to certain conditions, including court approval, required the Company to pay $3.1 million to the plaintiff class. As a result, the Company recorded a contingency loss of $2,519,220 which was included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities at February 28, 2022 and expected to be the Company’s approximate total cash contribution to the settlement and outstanding legal fees related to the lawsuit, net of the Company’s D&O insurance carriers’ contribution. On May 24, 2022, Lead Plaintiffs filed their motion for preliminary approval of the proposed class action settlement. On September 19, 2022, the Court entered an order preliminarily approving the settlement and providing for notice. The Court held a final settlement hearing on January 5, 2023 after which the Court entered an order and final judgment approving the class action settlement. In October 2022, the Company made a payment in escrow of $3,100,000 for the settlement and received $837,782 from its D&O insurance carriers. As at February 28, 2023 the Company no longer has any amount related to the class action settlement included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The settlement agreement does not constitute an admission, concession, or finding of any fault, liability, or wrongdoing by the Company or any defendant. On October 13, 2020, the Company, Loop Canada Inc. and certain of their officers and directors were named as defendants in a proposed securities class action filed in the Superior Court of Québec (District of Terrebonne, Province of Québec, Canada), in file no. 700-06-000012-205. The Application for authorization of a class action and for authorization to bring an action pursuant to section 225.4 of the Québec Securities Act (“the Application”) was filed by an individual shareholder on behalf of himself and a class of buyers who purchased our securities during the “Class Period” (not defined). Plaintiff alleged that throughout the Class Period, the defendants allegedly made false and/or misleading statements and allegedly failed to disclose material adverse facts concerning the Company’s technology, business model, operations and prospects, thus causing the Company’s stock price to be artificially inflated and thereby causing plaintiff to suffer damages. Plaintiff sought unspecified damages stemming from losses he claimed to have suffered as a result of the foregoing. On December 13, 2020, the Application was amended in order to add allegations regarding specific misrepresentations. The authorization hearing was held on February 24, 2022. In a judgment dated July 29, 2022, the Superior Court of Québec dismissed the Application for authorization of a class action and for authorization to bring an action pursuant to section 225.4 of the Québec Securities Act. The period to appeal the judgment is now expired.
