Sundial Growers Inc.
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
For the three months ended March 31, 2022
(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 pursuant to the Cannabis Act (Canada) (the "Cannabis Act"), the operation and support of corporate-owned and franchise retail cannabis stores in Canadian jurisdictions where the private sale of recreational cannabis is permitted, the retailing of wines, beers and spirits and the deployment of capital to investment opportunities. The Cannabis Act regulates the production, distribution, and possession of cannabis for both medical and adult recreational access in Canada. The Company also owns approximately 63% of Nova Cannabis Inc. ("Nova") (TSX: NOVC), whose principal activities are the retail sale of cannabis.
Sundial and its subsidiaries currently operate solely in Canada. Through its joint venture SunStream Bancorp Inc. (note 13), the Company also provides growth capital that pursues indirect investment and financial services opportunities in the global cannabis sector, as well as other investment opportunities. The Company also makes strategic portfolio investments in debt and equity securities.
The Company's common shares trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market ("Nasdaq") under the ticker symbol "SNDL".
The global impact of COVID-19 has contributed to uncertainty as to the health of the global economy. The Company has implemented several pandemic-related procedures and protocols at its facilities, including enhanced screening measures, enhanced cleaning and sanitation processes with increased frequency and encouraging social distancing measures. At the retail store level, the Company has implemented enhanced in-store procedures including increased frequency of cleaning, installing safety shields and reducing paper materials. The Company has also adapted its business model by moving toward online sales platforms that enable customers to order products online for fast pickup and payment in store. The Company believes that it can maintain safe operations with these pandemic-related procedures and protocols in place.
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements ("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"). These financial statements were prepared using the same accounting policies and methods as those disclosed in the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements for the Company for the year ended December 31, 2021.
These financial statements were approved and authorized for issue by the Board of Directors ("Board") on May 15, 2022.
On October 7, 2021, the Company announced that it had entered into an arrangement agreement with Alcanna Inc. ("Alcanna") pursuant to which the Company would acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Alcanna by way of a statutory plan of arrangement (the "Alcanna Transaction"). The Company and Alcanna amended the arrangement agreement in respect of the Alcanna Transaction on January 6, 2022, and the Alcanna Transaction closed on March 31, 2022. Alcanna is a Canadian liquor retailer, operating predominantly in Alberta under its three retail brands, "Wine and Beyond", "Liquor Depot" and "Ace Liquor". Alcanna holds an approximate 63% equity interest in Nova, a Canadian cannabis retailer operating stores across Alberta, Saskatchewan and Ontario. The Company is deemed to control Nova through its equity
Sundial Growers Inc.
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
For the three months ended March 31, 2022
(Unaudited, expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars, except where otherwise noted)
interest and Nova's results are included in the financial statements of the Company with the minority interest shown as non-controlling interest through equity.
Alcanna was acquired to diversify and stabilize cash flows and advance the Company's vertical integration strategy.
The Alcanna Transaction consideration was comprised of (i) an aggregate $54.3 million cash ($1.50 in cash for each Alcanna common share), and (ii) an aggregate 320.6 million Sundial common shares valued at $287.0 million based on the fair value of each common share of the Company on the closing date (8.85 of a Sundial common share for each Alcanna common share).
The Company has engaged independent valuation experts to assist in determining the fair value of certain assets acquired and liabilities assumed and related deferred income tax impacts. The purchase price allocation is not final as the Company is continuing to obtain and verify information required to determine the fair value of certain assets and liabilities and the amount of deferred income taxes arising on their recognition.
Due to the inherent complexity associated with valuations and the timing of the acquisition, the numbers below are provisional.
The fair value of consideration paid was as follows:
Cash 54,339
Issuance of common shares 287,129
341,468
The preliminary fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired was as follows:
Cash 23,190
Accounts receivable 1,868
Prepaid expenses and deposits 10,986
Inventory 105,022
Property, plant and equipment 257,925
Goodwill 280,243
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities (36,703 )
Long-term debt (10,000 )
Lease liabilities (232,755 )
Derivative warrants (58 )
Non-controlling interest (58,250 )
341,468
Non-controlling interest has been measured as the fair value of the non-controlling interest in Nova, which at the time was 37%, and was measured by applying a market approach with reference to Nova's share price on the day of the Alcanna Transaction of $2.66.
As new information obtained within one year of the date of acquisition about facts and circumstances that existed at the date of acquisition identifies adjustments to the above amounts, then the accounting for the acquisition will be revised.
On March 31, 2022, the Company repaid in full the acquired long-term debt balance of $10.0 million.
The financial statements incorporate the operations of Alcanna commencing March 31, 2022. During the one-day period of March 31, 2022, the Company recorded revenues of $2.0 million and net loss of $0.1 million. Had the Alcanna Transaction closed on January 1, 2022, management estimates that for the period January 1, 2022, to March 30, 2022, revenue would have increased by $162.5 million and net loss would have increased by $6.1 million. In determining these amounts, management assumes the fair values on the date of acquisition would have been the same as if the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2022.
Sundial Growers Inc.
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
For the three months ended March 31, 2022
(Unaudited, expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars, except where otherwise noted)
The Company incurred acquisition-related costs of $6.5 million which have been included in transaction costs.
On May 5, 2021, the Company and Inner Spirit Holdings Ltd. ("Inner Spirit") announced that they had entered into an arrangement agreement pursuant to which the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Inner Spirit (the "Inner Spirit Transaction"). The Inner Spirit Transaction closed on July 20, 2021. Inner Spirit is a retailer and franchisor of Spiritleaf recreational cannabis stores across Canada, with a network that includes more than 100 franchised and corporate-owned locations. As new information obtained within one year of the date of acquisition about facts and circumstances that existed at the date of acquisition identifies adjustments, then the accounting for the acquisition will be revised. At March 31, 2022, no adjustments were made to the preliminary estimates of the fair value of assets and liabilities acquired presented at December 31, 2021.
The Company's reportable segments are organized by business line, and with the acquisition of Alcanna, are comprised of four reportable segments: cannabis operations, cannabis retail, liquor retail and investments.
Cannabis operations include the cultivation, distribution and sale of cannabis for the adult-use market and medical markets in Canada. Cannabis retail includes the private sale of recreational cannabis through wholly owned and franchise retail cannabis stores. Liquor retail includes the sale of wines, beers and spirits through wholly owned liquor stores. Investments include the deployment of capital to investment opportunities. Certain overhead expenses not directly attributable to any operating segment are reported as "Corporate".

Sundial Growers Inc.
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
For the three months ended March 31, 2022
(Unaudited, expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars, except where otherwise noted)
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 produce and 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:
Assumption Input Weighted average input Effect of 10% change ($000s)
March 31 2022 December 31 2021 March 31 2022 December 31 2021
Yield per square foot of growing space (1) Grams 50 49 367 435
Average net selling price (2) $/gram 4.66 4.49 845 1,014
After harvest cost to complete and sell $/gram 1.06 1.06 194 249
These assumptions are estimates that are subject to volatility in market prices and several uncontrollable factors. The Company's estimates are, by their nature, subject to change and differences from the anticipated yield will be reflected in the net change in fair value of biological assets in future periods.
The Company estimates the harvest yields for cannabis at various stages of growth. As at March 31, 2022, it is estimated that the Company's biological assets will yield approximately 5,554 kilograms (December 31, 2021 - 5,672 kilograms) of dry cannabis when harvested. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company harvested 6,636 kilograms of dry cannabis (three months ended March 31, 2021 - 5,387 kilograms).
