Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
Note 1. The Company, Basis of Presentation and Going Concern | The Company Loop Industries, Inc. is a technology and licensing company who 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 repolymerized to create virgin-quality Loop™ branded PET plastic resin and polyester fiber suitable for use in food-grade packaging to be sold to consumer goods companies. Loop Industries, Inc. (“Loop Industries” or the “Company”) was originally incorporated in Nevada in March 2010 under the name Radikal Phones Inc., which was changed to First American Group Inc. in October 2010. On June 29, 2015, Loop Industries, Inc. (then known as First American Group) completed a reverse acquisition of Loop Holdings, Inc. (“Loop Holdings”), whereby the Company acquired all of its outstanding shares of common stock in a share exchange for approximately 78.1% of the capital of the Company at the time. The depolymerization business of Loop Holdings became our sole operating business. On June 22, 2015, the Board of Directors approved a change in the fiscal year end date from September 30 to the last day of February. On July 21, 2015, the Company changed its name to Loop Industries, Inc. On November 20, 2017, Loop Industries Inc. commenced trading on the NASDAQ Global Market under its new trading symbol, “LOOP.” From April 10, 2017 to November 19, 2017, our common stock was quoted on the OTCQX tier of the OTC Markets Group Inc. under the symbol “LLPP.” From October 29, 2015 through April 7, 2017, our common stock was quoted on the OTCQB tier of the OTC Markets Group Inc. under the stock symbol “LLPP.” From September 26, 2012 to October 28, 2015, our common stock was quoted on the OTCQB tier of the OTC Markets Group Inc. under the stock symbol “FAMG.” 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, Loop Indorama Technologies, LLC, which is accounted for under the equity method. Prior to December 31, 2016, 819 Canada was accounted for a variable interest entity requiring consolidation as Loop Industries, Inc. was the primary beneficiary of 819 Canada, having the power to direct its activities. On December 31, 2016, all employees, assets, liabilities, and operations pertaining to the Company’s depolymerization business were transferred to Loop Canada Inc. Intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated on consolidation. Going Concern The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, we are a development stage company, we have not yet begun commercial operations and we do not have any sources of revenue. During the year ended February 28, 2019, the Company incurred a net loss of $17.5 million (2018 - $14.0 million; 2017 - $4.1 million), used cash in operations of $7.6 million (2018 - $6.4 million; 2017- $2.8 million) and had an accumulated deficit as at February 28, 2019 of $38,811,592, all of these factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. At the current stage of its development, Loop is a pre-revenue company, with its ongoing operations being financed by raising new equity capital and borrowings. To date, the Company has been successful in raising capital to finance its ongoing operations. As at February 28, 2019, the Company had cash on hand of $5.8 million. Subsequent to the year-end, on March 1, 2019, the Company raised net proceeds of $4.2 million from a single institutional investor from the sale of 600,000 shares in a registered direct offering (Note 16). Management is evaluating its plans to raise additional financing, the proceeds from which would be used to finance the start-up of its joint venture commercial operations, which is estimated to be between $8,000,000-$10,000,000 and further fund the development of its technology and new technologies. There can be no assurance that any future financing will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to the Company. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not reflect the adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the reported expenses and balance sheet classifications that would be necessary if the Company were unable to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities as a going concern in the normal course of operations. Such adjustments could be material.
