These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the audited annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"), have been omitted or condensed. These condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with Canopy Growth's March 31, 2019 audited annual consolidated financial statements. Except for the adoption of IFRS 16, Leases ("IFRS 16"), and the change in accounting policy with respect to royalty payments, as described in Note 2(c) and Note 2(d), respectively, these condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with the accounting policies disclosed in the March 31, 2019 audited annual consolidated financial statements.
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements are unaudited and reflect adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to provide a fair statement of results for the interim periods in accordance with IFRS.
The results reported in these condensed interim consolidated financial statements should not be regarded as necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for an entire fiscal year. The policies set out below are consistently applied to all periods presented, unless otherwise noted.
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors and authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors on February 13, 2020.
All figures are presented in thousands of Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted.
(b) Basis of presentation
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for biological assets and certain financial assets and liabilities which are measured at fair value.
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements are comprised of the financial results of the Company and its subsidiaries, which are the entities over which Canopy Growth has control. An investor controls an investee when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and can affect those returns through its power over the investee. Non-controlling interests in the equity of Canopy Growth's subsidiaries are shown separately in equity in the condensed interim consolidated statements of financial position. Information on the Company's subsidiaries with non-controlling interests is included in Note 18.

(Expressed in CDN $000's except share amounts)
Acquisitions of subsidiaries and businesses are accounted for using the acquisition method. The Company measures goodwill as the fair value of the consideration transferred, including the recognized amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree, less the net recognized amount of the identifiable assets and liabilities assumed, all measured as of the acquisition date. Any excess of the fair value of the net assets acquired over the assumed consideration paid is recognized as a gain in the condensed interim consolidated statements of operations. The Company elects on a transaction-by-transaction basis whether to measure non-controlling interest at its fair value or at its proportionate share of the recognized amount of the identifiable net assets, at the acquisition date.
Transaction costs, other than those associated with the issue of debt or equity securities, that the Company incurs in connection with a business combination are expensed as incurred.
Refer to Note 24 for additional information on the Company's acquisitions.
(ii) Investments accounted for using the equity method
Investments accounted for using the equity method include investments in associates, which are entities over which the Company exercises significant influence, and joint arrangements representing joint ventures. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but without control or joint control over those policies. A joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the joint arrangement. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.
The Company accounts for its investments in associates and joint ventures using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, investments in associates and joint ventures are initially recognized in the condensed interim consolidated statements of financial position at cost, and subsequently adjusted for the Company's share of the net income (loss), comprehensive income (loss) and distributions of the investee. The carrying value is assessed for impairment at each statement of financial position date.
Refer to Note 9 for additional information on the Company's investments accounted for using the equity method.
(c) Adoption of IFRS 16, Leases and resulting changes to lease accounting policy
On April 1, 2019 the Company adopted IFRS 16 using the modified retrospective approach. Therefore, the comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under IAS 17, Leases ("IAS 17") and IFRIC 4, Determining Whether an Arrangement Contains a Lease ("IFRIC 4").
Lease accounting policy applicable from April 1, 2019
Definition of a lease
At the inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys this right the Company assesses whether:
At inception or reassessment of a contract that contains lease and non-lease components, the Company allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of their relative stand-alone prices.

Accounting as a lessee under IFRS 16
The Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and lease liability on the consolidated statements of financial position at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received.
The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of its useful life or the end of the lease term. The estimated useful lives of right-of-use assets are determined on the same basis as those of property, plant and equipment. In addition, the right-of-use asset is periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company's incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate.
Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise (a) fixed payments, including in-substance fixed payments; (b) variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date; (c) amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee; and (d) the exercise price under a purchase option that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise, lease payments in an optional renewal period if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise an extension option, and penalties for early termination of a lease unless the Company is reasonably certain not to terminate early.
The lease liability is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, if there is a change in the Company's estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, or if the Company changes its assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option. When the lease liability is remeasured in this way, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset, or is recorded in the consolidated statements of operations if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to $nil.
Transition to IFRS 16
Practical expedients
On transition to IFRS 16, the Company elected to apply the practical expedient to grandfather the assessment of which transactions represent leases. The Company applied IFRS 16 only to contracts that were previously identified as leases under IAS 17 and IFRIC 4. Therefore, the definition of a lease under IFRS 16 was applied only to contracts entered into, or changed, on or after April 1, 2019.
The Company used the following additional practical expedients:
Notes to the CONDENSED INTERIM consolidated financial statements
for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018
(Expressed in CDN $000's except share amounts)
Leases classified as finance leases under IAS 17
For leases that were classified as finance leases under IAS 17, the carrying amounts of the right-of-use asset and the lease liability at April 1, 2019, are determined as the carrying amounts of the lease asset and lease liability under IAS 17 immediately before that date.
Impacts on consolidated financial statements
On transition to IFRS 16, the Company elected to measure the right-of-use assets at the amount equal to the lease liabilities, adjusted by the amount of any prepaid or accrued lease payments. As at April 1, 2019, the Company recognized $99,880 of right-of-use assets, net of onerous lease provisions of $10,703, and $110,583 of lease liabilities, with a $nil impact on deficit. The transition to IFRS 16 did not have a material impact on the Company's results of operations or liquidity.
When measuring lease liabilities, the Company used its incremental borrowing rate at April 1, 2019. The weighted-average rate applied was 4.5%. Right-of-use assets are recognized in Property, plant and equipment (see Note 11), and lease liabilities are recognized in Other current liabilities and Other long-term liabilities (see Note 15).
Effective July 1, 2019, the Company changed its accounting policy with respect to royalties. Prior to this change the Company recorded all royalty expenses as Inventory production costs expensed to cost of sales. The Company now classifies certain royalty expenses, which are based upon contractually predetermined percentages of sales of particular products and the related amortization of minimum payments, as Sales and marketing expense. The Company believes that the revised policy and presentation provides reliable and more relevant financial information to users of the consolidated financial statements.
The change in accounting policy has been applied retrospectively. The Company has restated the comparative figures in the consolidated statements of operations, resulting in (i) decreases of $3,429 and $5,991 to the previously reported Inventory production costs expensed to cost of sales amounts for the three and nine month periods ended December 31, 2018, respectively, and (ii) increases of $3,429 and $5,991 to the previously reported Sales and marketing expense for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2018, respectively. The Company has also restated the results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2019 resulting in a decrease of $4,131 to the previously reported Inventory production costs expensed to cost of sales amount and a corresponding increase of $4,131 to the previously reported Sales and marketing expense.

| Balance, end of period | $ | 59,107 | $ | 78,975 |
Biological assets are valued in accordance with IAS 41, Agriculture, based on a market approach where fair value at the point of harvest is estimated based on selling prices less costs to sell at harvest. The Company's biological assets are primarily cannabis plants, and because there is no actively traded commodity market for plants or dried product, the valuation of these biological assets is obtained using valuation techniques where the inputs are based upon unobservable market data (Level 3).
For in-process biological assets, the fair value at point of harvest is adjusted based on the stage of growth. Stage of growth is determined by reference to costs incurred to date as a percentage of total expected costs from inception to harvest. As at December 31, 2019, the average stage of growth for the biological assets was 47%, compared to an average stage of growth of 42% as at March 31, 2019.

Investment in More Life
On November 7, 2019 the Company entered into agreements with certain entities that are controlled by Aubrey "Drake" Graham to launch the More Life Growth Company ("More Life"). Under the agreements Canopy Growth will sell 100% of the shares of 1955625 Ontario Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Canopy Growth that holds the Health Canada license for a facility located in Scarborough, Ontario to More Life ("More Life Facility") in exchange for a 40% interest in More Life. Drake will hold a 60% ownership interest.
As consideration for Drake's interest, Drake has granted More Life the right to exclusively exploit certain intellectual property and brands in association with the growth, manufacture, production, marketing and sale of cannabis and cannabis-related products, accessories, merchandise and paraphernalia in Canada and internationally. The maintenance of the non-Canada rights after 18 months is contingent upon certain performance criteria of More Life. More Life has sublicensed such rights in Canada to Canopy Growth in exchange for royalty payments. On the transaction date Canopy Growth recorded an intangible asset equal to the present value of the agreed minimum royalty payments. The intangible asset will be amortized over its estimated useful life.
Following this transaction, the Company no longer controls 1955625 Ontario Inc. and the Company derecognized the assets and liabilities of 1955625 Ontario Inc. from its consolidated financial statements at their carrying amounts. Management has concluded that the subsidiary does not meet the definition of an operation and no goodwill was allocated. The derecognized assets and liabilities on November 7, 2019, were as follows:
| Cash | $ | 100 | ||
| Intangible assets | 2,810 | |||
| Net assets disposed | $ | 2,910 | ||
| Fair value of retained interest | 25,200 | |||
| Gain on disposal of consolidated entity | $ | 22,290 |
The gain calculated on the derecognition of 1955625 Ontario Inc.'s assets and liabilities is the difference between the carrying amounts of the derecognized assets and liabilities of 1955625 Ontario Inc. and the fair value of the consideration received, being the fair value of the Company's interest in More Life. The fair value of this interest was estimated to be $25,200 which was determined using a discounted cash flow approach. The most significant inputs to the fair value measurement are the discount rate and expectations about future royalties.
Through its ownership and other rights, the Company has significant influence over More Life and will account for its interest in More Life using the equity method of accounting. The investment will initially be recognized at its fair value and adjusted thereafter to recognize the Company's share of net income or loss and other
