1. Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation
SusGlobal Energy Corp. (SusGlobal) was formed by articles of amalgamation on December 3, 2014, in the Province of Ontario, Canada and its executive office is in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. SusGlobal Energy Corp., a company in the start-up stages and Commandcredit Corp. (Commandcredit), an inactive Canadian public company, amalgamated to continue business under the name of SusGlobal Energy Corp.
On May 23, 2017, SusGlobal Energy Corp. filed an Application for Authorization to continue in another Jurisdiction with the Ministry of Government Services in Ontario and a certificate of corporate domestication and certificate of incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware under which it changed its jurisdiction of incorporation from Ontario to the State of Delaware (the Domestication). In connection with the Domestication each of our currently issued and outstanding common shares were automatically converted on a one-for-one basis into shares of SusGlobal Energy Delawares common stock (the Shares). As a result of the Domestication, pursuant to Section 388 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the DGCL), the SusGlobal Energy Corp. continued its existence under the DGCL as a corporation incorporated in the State of Delaware. The business, assets and liabilities of the Company and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, as well as its principal location and fiscal year, were the same immediately after the Domestication as they were immediately prior to the Domestication. SusGlobal Energy Corp. filed a Registration Statement on Form S-4 to register the Shares and this registration statement was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on May, 23, 2017.
SusGlobal is a renewable energy company focused on acquiring, developing and monetizing a global portfolio of proprietary technologies in the waste to energy application.
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements of SusGlobal Energy Corp. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, SusGlobal Energy Canada Corp. and SusGlobal Energy Canada I Ltd. (SGECI) (together, the Company), have been prepared following generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (US GAAP), and are expressed in United States Dollars. The Companys functional currency is the Canadian Dollar (CAD). In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
2. Going Concern
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP, which assumes that the Company will be able to meet its obligations and continue its operations for the next twelve months.
As at June 30, 2017, the Company had a working capital deficit of $1,635,926 (December 31, 2016-$487,703), incurred a net loss of $1,459,386 (2016-$201,522) for the six-month period ended June 30, 2017 and had an accumulated deficit of $3,907,201 (December 31, 2016-$2,447,815) and expects to incur further losses in the development of its business. These factors and those noted below, cast substantial doubt as to the Companys ability to continue as a going concern which is dependent upon its ability to obtain the necessary financing to further the development of its business and upon achieving profitable operations. Management believes that the Company will be able to obtain the necessary funding by equity or debt however, there is no assurance of funding being available on acceptable terms. Realization values may be substantially different from carrying values as shown.

2. Going Concern, continued
On February 2, 2017, the Company received the first advance in the amount of $1,232,960 ($1,600,000 CAD) on its corporate line of credit (Line of Credit) of $4,238,300 ($5,500,000 CAD) with PACE Savings & Credit Union Limited (PACE). The Line of Credit was obtained to fund the BioGrid Project, which was a project described in the expansion and operation agreement (the BioGrid Agreement) between the Company and the Township of Georgian Bluffs and the Township of Chatsworth (the Municipalities), as described in note 15. The Municipalities terminated the Agreement on November 4, 2016 and the Company filed a Notice of Dispute with the Municipalities on March 1, 2017. The Company and representatives of the Municipalities met on March 31, 2017 and the Municipalities have since reiterated their position that the agreement is terminated. The Line of Credit is no longer available to be drawn against, and as such, the Company is re-negotiating the terms of the Line of Credit with PACE and it is expected that it will be replaced by a new Credit Facility for the commitment described in note 6.
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result if the Company was unable to continue as a going concern.
3. Significant Accounting Policies
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015.
During the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company adopted the following significant accounting policies:
Debt Issuance Costs
Debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability are presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability.
Stock-based Compensation
The Company records compensation costs related to stock-based awards in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, whereby the Company measures stock-based compensation cost at the grant date based on the estimated fair value of the award. Compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award. The Company utilizes the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock options granted, which requires the input of highly subjective assumptions including: the expected option life, the risk-free rate, the dividend yield, the volatility of the Companys stock price and an assumption for employee forfeitures. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. treasury bill rate at the date of the grant with maturity dates approximately equal to the expected term of the option. The Company has not historically issued any dividends and does not expect to in the near future. Changes in any of these subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimates and the resulting stock-based compensation recognized.

4. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by FASB or other standard setting bodies and adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date or possibly early adopted, where permitted. Unless otherwise discussed, the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on the Companys financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases. The new standard establishes a right-of-use (ROU) model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases are to be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. The new standard is to be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for lessees with capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. The adoption of this ASU is expected to result in all operating leases being capitalized in the Companys financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU No. 2016-02.
In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash. This ASU requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents are to be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. This guidance is to be effective for the Company as of March 1, 2018, and requires a retrospective transition method. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU No. 2016-18.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) - Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The new standard simplifies the accounting for goodwill impairments by eliminating step 2 from the goodwill quantitative impairment test. Instead, if the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is to be recognized in an amount equal to that excess, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The standard is to be effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU No. 2017-04.
5. Financial Instruments
The carrying value of cash, term deposit, trade receivables, harmonized sales taxes receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximated their fair values as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 due to their short-term nature. The carrying value of the credit facilities and the loans payable to related party approximated their fair value due to their market interest rates.
Interest, Credit and Concentration Risk
In the opinion of management, the Company is exposed to significant interest rate risk on its variable rate credit facilities of $1,232,960 ($1,600,000 CAD) and is not exposed to credit risks arising from its other financial instruments. As at June 30, 2017, the Company had no trade receivables. As at December 31, 2016, the Company had two customers representing greater than 5% of total trade receivables and these two customers represented 99% of trade receivables. As at

5. Financial Instruments, continued
December 31, 2016, the Company had certain customers whose revenue individually represented 10% or more of the Companys total revenue. These customers accounted for 95% of total revenue.
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company is unable to meet its obligations as they fall due. The Company takes steps to ensure it has sufficient working capital and available sources of financing to meet future cash requirements for capital programs and operations. (At June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2016, the Company had a working capital deficit.)
The Company intends to continue to raise funds through the issuance of common shares under a private placement or debt, to ensure it has sufficient access to cash to meet current and foreseeable financial requirements. The Company actively monitors its liquidity to ensure that its cash flows and working capital are adequate to support its financial obligations and the Companys capital programs.
Currency Risk
Although the Companys functional currency is Canadian dollars (CAD), the Company realizes a portion of its expenses in United States dollars (USD). Consequently, certain assets and liabilities are exposed to foreign currency fluctuations. As at June 30, 2017, $10,439 (December 31, 2016-$5,108) of the Companys net monetary liabilities were denominated in United States dollars. The Company has not entered into any hedging transactions to reduce the exposure to currency risk.
6. Asset Purchase Commitment
On June 15, 2017, the Company submitted its bid to BDO Canada Limited (the Astoria Receiver), the court appointed receiver for Astoria Organic Matters Limited and Astoria Organic Matters Canada LP (together Astoria), for the assets of Astoria. The bid, which was later revised on June 28, 2017, consisted of a cash amount, of which $462,360 ($600,000 CAD) was paid as a deposit and a reservation of 529,970 restricted common shares of the Company to be issued on closing. The principal assets of Astoria are a completed organic composting facility and a waste transfer station having an environmental compliance approval. The deposit was provided by PACE and the balance of the cash offer will be provided by PACE by way of a credit facility. On July 12, 2017, (see note 16(a)), the Companys bid was accepted by the Astoria Receiver. On July 27, 2017, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the APA) which was then amended on August 1, 2017. The closing is subject to court approval, scheduled for August 24, 2017.
The Company is also required to provide a deposit to the ministry of the environment and climate change (MOECC) and to a local municipality, totaling approximately $253,000 (approximately $328,000 CAD) to operate the facility. In addition, the Company is also responsible to purchase the outstanding accounts receivable based on the book value of seventy percent of the accounts receivable under ninety days on closing.

OVERVIEW
The following organization chart sets forth our wholly-owned subsidiaries:
Page | 18
SusGlobal Energy Corp. (SusGlobal Energy Canada) was formed by articles of amalgamation on December 3, 2014, in the Province of Ontario, Canada and its executive office is in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. SusGlobal Energy Corp. (Old SusGlobal, a company in the start-up stages and Commandcredit Corp. (Commandcredit), an inactive Canadian public shell company that was formed in Ontario, Canada on June 19, 2000 amalgamated to continue business under the name of SusGlobal Energy Corp. (SusGlobal). We are a renewable energy company focused on acquiring, developing and monetizing a global portfolio of proprietary technologies in the waste to energy application.
On January 29, 2016, the SusGlobal filed a Registration Statement on Form S-4 (the Registration Statement), which relates to the Companys intent to change its jurisdiction of incorporation by discontinuing SusGlobal Energy Corp. from Ontario, Canada and continuing and domesticating as a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Registration Statement was declared effective on May 12, 2017.
On May 23, 2017, SusGlobal Energy Corp. filed an Application for Authorization to continue in another Jurisdiction with the Ministry of Government Services in Ontario and a certificate of corporate domestication and certificate of incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware under which it changed its jurisdiction of incorporation from Ontario to the State of Delaware (the Domestication). In connection with the Domestication each of our currently issued and outstanding common shares were automatically converted on a one-for-one basis into shares of SusGlobal Energy Delawares common stock (the Shares). As a result of the Domestication, pursuant to Section 388 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the DGCL), the SusGlobal Energy Corp. continued its existence under the DGCL as a corporation incorporated in the State of Delaware. The business, assets and liabilities of the Company and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, as well as its principal location and fiscal year, were the same immediately after the Domestication as they were immediately prior to the Domestication. SusGlobal Energy Corp. filed a Registration Statement on Form S-4 to register the Shares and this registration statement was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on May, 23, 2017.

With the growing amount of organic wastes being produced by society as a whole, a solution for sustainable global management of these wastes must be achieved. SusGlobal through its proprietary technology and processes is equipped and confident to deliver this objective.
We believe renewable energy is the energy of the future. Sources of this type of energy are more evenly distributed over the earths surface than finite energy sources, making it an attractive alternative to petroleum based energy. Biomass, one of the renewable resources, is derived from organic material such as forestry, food, plant and animal residuals. SusGlobal can therefore help you turn what many consider waste into precious energy. The portfolio will be comprised of four distinct types of technologies: (a) Process Source Separated Organics (SSO) in anaerobic digesters to divert from landfills and recover biogas. This biogas can be converted to gaseous fuel for industrial processes, electricity to the grid or cleaned for compressed renewable gas. (b) Increasing the capacity of existing infrastructure (anaerobic digesters) to allow processing of SSO to increase biogas yield. (c) Utilize recycled plastics to produce liquid fuels. (d) process digestate to produce a pathogen free organic fertilizer.
The convertibility of organic material into valuable end products such as biogas, liquid biofuels, organic fertilizers and compost shows the utility of renewable energy. These products can be converted into electricity, fuels and marketed to agricultural operations that are looking for an increase in crop yields, soil amendment and environmentally-sound practices. This practice also diverts these materials from landfills and reduces greenhouse gas emissions that result from landfilling organic wastes.
We can provide peace of mind that the full lifecycle of organic material is achieved, global benefits are realized and stewardship for total sustainability is upheld.
Our project and services offered can benefit the public and private markets. The following includes some of our work managing organic waste streams: Anaerobic Digestion, Dry Digestion, Biogas production, Wastewater Treatment, In- Vessel Composting, SSO Treatment, Biosolids Heat Treatment and Composting.
We provide a full range of services for handling organic residuals in a period where innovation and sustainability are paramount. From start to finish we offer in-depth knowledge, a wealth of experience and cutting-edge technology for handling organic waste.
The primary focus of the services we provide includes identifying idle or underutilized anaerobic digesters and integrating our technologies with capital investment to optimizing the operation of the existing digesters to reach their full capacity for processing SSO. Our processes not only divert significant organic waste from landfills, but also result in methane avoidance, with significant Greenhouse Gas (GHG) reductions from waste disposal. The processes also produce renewable energy through the conversion of wastewater biosolids and organic wastes in the same equipment (co-digestion) and valuable end products such as biogas, electricity and organic fertilizer, considered Class AA organic fertilizer.
Currently, our primary customers are municipalities in both rural and urban centers throughout southern and central Ontario, Canada. Much of the research and development that has been carried out has been completed by our CEO through multiple projects carried out on projects prior to the formation of SusGlobal. Where necessary, to be in compliance with Provincial and local environmental laws and regulations, we submit applications to the respective authorities for approval prior to any necessary engineering being carried out.

On May 14, 2015, the Ontario Ministry of Environment and Climate Change announced formal targets to be met to satisfy a commitment necessary to join the WCI along with Quebec and California, who are in the WCI with Cap and Trade commitments since 2014. The Ontario targets are very ambitious, with
GHG emission reductions of 15% by 2020, 37% by 2030 and 80% by 2050, all from a 1990 baseline. Ontario achieved a 6% reduction in GHG emissions from 1990 levels in 2014, mainly by closing all coal-fired power plants. The targets announced will require a focused program to reduce GHG emissions. The Companys activities all contribute to GHG reductions, so will be a key part of Ontarios initiative.

The Company will continue to pursue other similar intellectual property around the world as we combine this and other technologies in innovative configurations to monetize the portfolio of proprietary technologies and processes to deliver value to our customers and shareholders.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of June 30, 2017, the Company had a cash balance of $31,998 (December 31, 2016-$1,774) and current debt obligations in the amount of $1,722,240 (December 31, 2016-$683,234). As at June 30, 2017, the Company had a working capital deficit of $1,635,926 (December 31, 2016-$487,703). The Company does not currently have sufficient funds to satisfy the current debt obligations. Should the Companys creditors seek or demand payment, the Company does not have the resources to pay or satisfy any such claims currently.
The Companys total assets at June 30, 2017 were $552,968 and total current liabilities were $1,722,240. Significant losses from operations have been incurred since inception and there is an accumulated deficit of $3,907,201 as of June 30, 2017. Continuation as a going concern is dependent upon generating significant new revenue and generating external capital and securing debt to achieve profitable operations while maintaining current fixed expense levels.
To pay current debt obligations and to fund any future operations, the Company requires significant new funds, which the Company may not be able to obtain. In addition to the funds required to liquidate the $1,722,240 in current debt obligations, the Company estimates that approximately $5,000,000 must be raised to fund capital requirements and general corporate expenses for the next 12 months.

As at June 30, 2017, the Company had a working capital deficit of $1,635,926 (December 31, 2016-$487,703), incurred a net loss of $1,459,386 (2016-$201,522) for the six-month period ended June 30, 2017 and had an accumulated deficit of $3,907,201 (December 31, 2016-$2,447,815) and expects to incur further losses in the development of its business. These factors and those noted below, cast substantial doubt as to the Companys ability to continue as a going concern which is dependent upon its ability to obtain the necessary financing to further the development of its business and upon achieving profitable operations. Management believes that the Company will be able to obtain the necessary funding by equity or debt; however, there is no assurance of funding being available on acceptable terms. Realization values may be substantially different from carrying values as shown.
On February 2, 2017, the Company received the first advance in the amount of $1,232,960 ($1,600,000 CAD) on its Line of Credit of $4,238,300 ($5,500,000 CAD) with PACE. The Line of Credit was obtained to fund the BioGrid Project, which was a project described in the BioGrid Agreement between the Company and the Municipalities. The Municipalities terminated the BioGrid Agreement on November 4, 2016 and the Company filed a Notice of Dispute with the Municipalities on March 1, 2017. The Company and the Municipalities met on March 31, 2017 and the Municipalities have since reiterated their position that the agreement is terminated. Effective March 21, 2017, the funds advanced on the Line of Credit from PACE were unavailable to use until the matter with the Municipalities related to the BioGrid Project was resolved. On June 2, 2017, the restriction on the advanced funds was removed. The Line of Credit is no longer available to be drawn against, and, as such, the Company is re-negotiating the terms of the Line of Credit with PACE and it is expected that this Line of Credit will be replaced by a new Credit Facility for the commitment described in note 6 to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result if the Company was unable to continue as a going concern.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
Use of estimates
The preparation of the Companys financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates are based on managements best knowledge of current events and actions the Company may undertake in the future. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to accruals and to the deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that is not readily apparent from other sources. Areas involving significant estimates and assumptions include: going concern assumptions, deferred income tax assets and related valuation allowance, accruals and fair valuation of shares. Actual results could differ materially and adversely from these estimates. These estimates are reviewed periodically and as adjustments become necessary, they are reported in earnings in the period in which they become available.

Stock-based compensation
From time to time the Company may grant options and/or warrants to management, directors, employees and consultants. The Company recognizes compensation expense at fair value. Under this method, the fair value of each warrant is estimated on the date of the grant and amortized over the vesting period, with the resulting amortization credited to paid in capital. The fair value of each grant is determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Consideration paid upon exercise of stock options and/or warrants is recorded in equity as share capital.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by FASB or other standard setting bodies and adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date or possibly early adopted, where permitted. Unless otherwise discussed, the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on the Companys financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases. The new standard establishes a right-of-use (ROU) model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for lessees for capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. The adoption of this ASU is expected to result in all operating leases being capitalized in the Companys financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU No. 2016-02.
In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash. This ASU requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. This guidance will be effective for the Company as of March 1, 2018, and requires a retrospective transition method. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU No. 2016-18.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) - Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The new standard simplifies the accounting for goodwill impairments by eliminating step 2 from the goodwill quantitative impairment test. Instead, if the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss shall be recognized in an amount equal to that excess, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU No. 2017-04.
NEW ACCOUNTING POLICIES
During the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company adopted the following significant accounting policies:
Debt Issuance Costs
Debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts.
Stock-based Compensation
The Company records compensation costs related to stock-based awards in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, whereby the Company measures stock-based compensation cost at the grant date based on the estimated fair value of the award. Compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award. The Company utilizes the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock options granted, which requires the input of highly subjective assumptions including: the expected option life, the risk-free rate, the dividend yield, the volatility of the Companys stock price and an assumption for employee forfeitures. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. treasury bill rate at the date of the grant with maturity dates approximately equal to the expected term of the option. The Company has not historically issued any dividends and does not expect to in the near future. Changes in any of these subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimates and the resulting stock-based compensation recognized.
