Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020
(Unaudited, expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars, except where otherwise noted)
Sundial Growers Inc. ("Sundial" or the "Company") was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (Alberta) on August 19, 2006.
The Company's head office is located at 300, 919 11th Avenue SW, Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
The principal activities of the Company are the production, distribution and sale of cannabis in Canada. The production, distribution and sale of cannabis was regulated by the Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes Regulations ("ACMPR") in Canada, up to and including October 16, 2018. On October 17, 2018, the ACMPR was superseded by the Cannabis Act which regulates the production, distribution, and possession of cannabis for both medical and adult recreational access in Canada.
On August 1, 2019, the Company's common shares began trading on the Nasdaq Global Select Market ("Nasdaq") under the ticker symbol "SNDL".
Sundial does not engage in any U.S. cannabis-related activities as defined in Canadian Securities Administrators Staff Notice 51-352.
Going concern assumption
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company is an early-stage company, has accumulated significant losses and was in non-compliance with its loan covenants (note 11a) as at December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2020. Furthermore, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries have a limited operating history and a history of negative cash flows from operating activities.
The Company has a Producer's License at each of its two Canadian facilities, a license to sell live plants to other licensed producers and its standard processing and sales license from Health Canada. The Company has maintained compliance with all Health Canada's requirements under these licenses.
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern depends on the Company maintaining such licenses, the continued support of its lenders, its ability to achieve profitable operations and its ability to raise additional financing to fund current and future operating and investing activities. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to accomplish any of the foregoing objectives.
On May 14, 2020, the Company obtained a waiver under the Syndicated Credit Agreement for the December 31, 2019 interest coverage ratio covenant breach.
On June 5, 2020, the Company entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (note 11a), executed a refinancing transaction under its Term Debt Facility (note 11b), executed an intercreditor agreement and closed the sale of Bridge Farm (note 4). The amended and restated credit agreement includes a waiver for the Company's March 31, 2020 covenant non-compliance, elimination of financial covenants other than a minimum cash balance covenant of $2.5 million until December 31, 2020 or later and a covenant requiring the Company to raise capital of US$10 million by December 1, 2020 (which was satisfied as a result of the August 2020 Offering (note 16b)). Principal repayments of $2.1 million per quarter have been rescheduled to commence on September 30, 2020 and were paid on that date. Additionally, based on the Company's most recent financial projections, management is forecasting that the Company will be in violation of the Syndicated Credit Agreement senior funded debt to EBITDA covenant at December 31, 2020 (note 11a).
The Company plans to access the capital markets to raise additional liquidity. The Company has filed a registration statement for a mixed shelf prospectus allowing it to issue common shares in an amount up to US$100 million at its discretion and established the at-the-market equity program (the "ATM Program") covering issuances of up to US$50 million. The Company has raised gross proceeds of US$20.0 million through the August 2020 Offering and subsequent to September 30, 2020, the Company has raised gross proceeds of US$35.5 million from sales under the ATM Program

(note 16b). There can be no guarantee that the Company will be able to raise additional capital on terms acceptable to it or at all. Any delay or failure to complete any additional financing would have a significant negative impact on the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition, and the Company may be forced to curtail or cease operations or seek relief under the applicable bankruptcy or insolvency laws.
These events, combined with the accumulated losses to date, indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that casts substantial doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary to the carrying values and classifications of assets and liabilities should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
The global impact of COVID-19 has resulted in significant declines in global stock markets and has contributed to a great deal of uncertainty as to the health of the global economy over the next 12 to 18 months. The Company has implemented several new pandemic-related procedures and protocols at its facilities, including enhanced screening measures, enhanced cleaning and sanitation processes and frequency, encouraging social distancing measures and directing employees to work from home if possible. The Company believes that it can maintain safe operations with these pandemic-related procedures and protocols in place.
The potential impact that COVID-19 will have on the Company's business or financial results cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. However, any shutdowns requested or mandated by government authorities in response to the outbreak of COVID-19 that may affect the Company, its suppliers, distribution channels or customers may have a material impact to the Company's planned operations.
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 - Interim Financial Reporting as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee ("IFRIC"). The condensed consolidated interim financial statements were prepared using the same accounting policies and methods as those disclosed in the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019, except as described in note 3. The condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the Company for the year ended December 31, 2019 which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the IASB.
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis (note 1), based on Management's assessment that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary to the carrying values and classifications of assets and liabilities should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements were approved and authorized for issue by the Board of Directors ("Board") on November 11, 2020.
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for biological assets and certain financial instruments which are measured at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in profit or loss.

On February 22, 2019, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Sundial UK Limited, signed a Sale and Purchase Agreement to acquire all the issued and outstanding shares of Project Seed Topco ("Bridge Farm"). The acquisition closed on July 2, 2019. Bridge Farm was acquired to expand the Company's business to cannabidiol ("CBD") extraction and production, subject to certain regulatory, licensing and other restrictions, to launch CBD sales in the United Kingdom. At December 31, 2019, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment based on significant delays and uncertainties in the licensing and regulatory framework in the United Kingdom. As part of the negotiations with the Company's senior lenders regarding a December 31, 2019 covenant breach and restructuring of its credit agreements, the Company was required to enter into a definitive sale and purchase agreement related to the sale of Bridge Farm.
On May 15, 2020, the Company entered into an agreement to sell all of the outstanding shares of Bridge Farm to a company affiliated with the former management sellers that were parties to the original acquisition (the "Bridge Farm Purchaser") in exchange for (i) the assumption by the Bridge Farm Purchaser of $45 million of the total $115 million principal amount outstanding under the Term Debt Facility (thereby reducing the Company's obligations thereunder to $70 million), (ii) the assumption by the Bridge Farm Purchaser of contingent consideration liabilities related to the additional share obligation and remaining earn out obligation under the original Bridge Farm acquisition agreement dated July 2, 2019 (note 15), and (iii) the cancellation of approximately 2.7 million Sundial common shares (value of $3.0 million), representing all of the shares currently held by the management sellers of Bridge Farm issued in connection with the original acquisition of Bridge Farm by the Company in 2019 (collectively, the "Bridge Farm Disposition"). The sale of Bridge Farm closed on June 5, 2020.
The Bridge Farm operations comprised the Company's entire Ornamental Flower segment located in the United Kingdom. The Ornamental Flower segment was not previously classified as held-for-sale or as a discontinued operation as it was not highly probable that the carrying amount of the disposal group would be recovered through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. The comparative statement of loss and comprehensive loss and statement of cash flows has been re-presented to show the discontinued operation separately from continuing operations. With the disposition of the Ornamental Flower segment, the Company no longer has multiple segments. Accordingly, the Cannabis operations in Canada comprise the entire operations of the Company.

Biological assets are valued in accordance with IAS 41 and are presented at their fair value less costs to sell up to the point of harvest. This is determined using a model which estimates the expected harvest yield in grams for plants currently being cultivated, and then adjusts that amount for the expected selling price less costs to sell per gram.
The fair value measurements for biological assets have been categorized as Level 3 fair values based on the inputs to the valuation technique used. The Company's method of accounting for biological assets attributes value accretion on a straight-line basis throughout the life of the biological asset from initial cloning to the point of harvest.
Management believes the most significant unobservable inputs and their impact on fair value of biological assets are as follows:
