1. | Description of business |
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, the operation and support of wholly owned and franchise retail cannabis stores in Canadian jurisdictions where the private sale of recreational cannabis is permitted 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.
Sundial and its subsidiaries currently operate solely in Canada. Through its joint venture SunStream Bancorp Inc. (note 16(a)), the Company also provides growth capital and a strategic support platform that pursues indirect investment opportunities in the global cannabis sector, where lawful, 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”.
COVID-19
The global impact of COVID-19 has contributed to a great deal of uncertainty as to the health of the global economy. The Company has implemented several new pandemic-related procedures and protocols at its facilities, including enhanced screening measures, enhanced cleaning and sanitation processes with increased frequency, encouraging social distancing measures and directing employees to work from home if possible. At a 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.

3. | Significant accounting policies |
The accounting policies, critical accounting judgements and significant estimates used in the preparation of the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020, have been applied in the preparation of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements except as described below.
Loss of control
When the Company loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognizes the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary, and any related non-controlling interest and other components of equity. Any resulting gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss. Any interest retained in the former subsidiary is measured at fair value when control is lost.
Interests in equity-accounted investees
The Company’s interest in equity-accounted investees comprise interests in an associate and a joint venture.
Associates are those entities in which the Company has significant influence, but not control or joint control, over the financial and operating policies. A joint venture is an arrangement in which the Company has joint control, whereby the Company has rights to the net assets of the arrangement, rather than rights to assets and obligations for its liabilities.
Interests in associates and joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method. They are initially recognized at cost, which includes transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, the consolidated financial statements include the Company’s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income (“OCI”) of equity-accounted investees, until the date on which significant influence or joint control ceases.
Captive Insurance
The Company has secured insurance coverage for its directors and officers through two separate captive insurance structures.
The first structure is a captive cell program entered into with a registered insurer for the purpose of holding and managing the Company’s coverage funds through a separate cell account (“Cell Captive”). The Company applies IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements in its assessment of control as it relates to the Cell Captive. The Company’s accounting policy is to consolidate the Cell Captive. The Cell Captive funds are held as cash and may be invested according to the Company’s treasury policy. The funds are disclosed as restricted cash as the Cell Captive must be fully funded at all times. The Company

(Unaudited, expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars, except where otherwise noted)
will recognize any gains or losses from fair market value adjustments, interest and/or foreign exchange in the statement of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss).
The second structure is a wholly owned subsidiary, Sundial Insurance (Bermuda) Ltd. (“SIBL”), incorporated to provide separate and additional coverage. The Company applies IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements in its assessment of control as it relates to SIBL. The Company’s accounting policy is to consolidate SIBL. The funds are disclosed as restricted cash as the funds were required for initial capitalization of the entity and there is a requirement to maintain minimum capital and surplus in accordance with industry regulations.
Leases
As a lessor
When the Company acts as a lessor, it determines at lease inception whether each lease is a finance lease or an operating lease. To classify each lease, the Company makes an overall assessment of whether the lease transfers substantially all of the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the underlying asset. If this is the case, then the lease is a finance lease; if not, then it is an operating lease. Under a finance lease, the Company recognizes a receivable at an amount equal to the net investment in the lease which is the present value of the aggregate of lease payments receivable by the lessor. Under an operating lease, the Company recognizes lease payments received as income on a straight-line basis over the lease term. When the Company is an intermediate lessor, it accounts for its interests in the head lease and the sub-lease separately. It assesses the lease classification of a sub-lease with reference to the right-of-use asset arising from the head lease, not with reference to the underlying asset.
revenue
Retail revenue
Retail revenue consists of sales through the corporate stores and e-commerce operations. Revenue at corporate stores is recognized at point of sale when the customer takes control of the goods or service and is measured at the amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled to, net of estimated returns, sales incentives and franchise fee reductions. The Company considers its performance obligations to be satisfied at point of sale. The Company’s goods and services are generally capable of being distinct and are accounted for as a separate performance obligation. Sales through e-commerce operations are recognized when the customer takes control of the goods or services upon delivery and is measured at the amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled to, net of estimated returns, sales incentives and franchise fee reductions.
It is the Company’s policy to sell merchandise with a limited right to return. Returns are only provided through exchanges or the issuance of a gift certificate.
Franchise revenue
Franchise fees are recognized at a point in time when the Company satisfies its performance obligations which is determined to be when the franchise begins operations. Performance obligations include site selection, lease assistance and training. Initial franchise fees are allocated to the performance obligations based on the estimated standalone selling prices. Funds received in advance of a franchise starting operations are recorded as franchise fee deposits.
Ongoing royalty and advertisement fees, which are determined on a formula basis in accordance with the terms of the relevant franchise agreement, based on monthly revenues of the franchisees, are recognized as revenue when the contractual performance obligations have been achieved or other service-related performance obligations have been completed. The performance obligations relate to providing support to the franchise partners and being stewards of the Spiritleaf brand. While the franchisees are operating under the name Spiritleaf, they are utilizing the Spiritleaf trademark, thereby, the Company has performed its obligations to recognize the revenue, as per the franchise agreements.
Other revenue
Millwork revenue is defined as the proceeds and receivables related to the sale of millwork, which includes store fixtures. Millwork revenue is recognized at a point in time when a contractual exchange agreement has been entered into, and the performance obligation is considered to have been met when the millwork has been delivered to the franchise partner.

(Unaudited, expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars, except where otherwise noted)
Supply revenue represents revenues earned from the sales of custom Spiritleaf accessories to franchise locations. The Spiritleaf accessory revenue is earned when the goods are paid for and shipped.
Retail inventory
Inventory is valued at Company owned stores at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of selling the final product. Cost is determined by the weighted average method and comprises direct purchase costs. Inventory is written down to its net realizable value when the cost of inventory is estimated to be unrecoverable due to obsolescence, damage or declining selling prices. The Company makes estimates related to obsolescence, future selling prices, seasonality, customer behavior and fluctuations in inventory levels.
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 “Transaction”). The 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.
The Transaction consideration was comprised of (i) an aggregate $92.6 million cash ($0.30 in cash for each Inner Spirit common share), (ii) an aggregate 24.4 million Sundial common shares valued at $26.2 million based on the fair value of each common share of the Company on the closing date (0.0835 of a Sundial common share for each Inner Spirit common share) and (iii) contingent consideration valued at $1.2 million representing the fair value of Inner Spirit warrants.
The Company has engaged independent valuation experts to assist in determining the fair value of certain assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The purchase price allocation and the amount of deferred income taxes arising on their recognition is not final as the Company is continuing to obtain and verify information required to determine the fair value of certain assets and liabilities. The Company expects to finalize the amounts recognized as it obtains the information necessary to complete the analysis prior to the end of the fiscal year.
The preliminary value on July 20, 2021, that was allocated to the purchase price was as follows:
| | | | |
Cash | | | 92,583 | |
Issuance of common shares | | | 26,216 | |
Contingent consideration | | | 1,150 | |
| | | 119,949 | |

Sundial Growers Inc.

(Unaudited, expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars, except where otherwise noted)
The preliminary purchase price was allocated as follows:
| | | | |
Cash | | | 9,031 | |
Accounts receivable | | | 3,506 | |
Prepaid expenses and deposits | | | 670 | |
Inventory | | | 2,225 | |
Property, plant and equipment | | | 8,879 | |
Intangible assets | | | 59,220 | |
Net investment in subleases | | | 18,909 | |
Goodwill | | | 65,573 | |
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities | | | (2,361 | ) |
Convertible debentures | | | (12,025 | ) |
Lease liabilities | | | (23,283 | ) |
Financial guarantee liability | | | (337 | ) |
Deferred tax liability | | | (10,058 | ) |
| | | 119,949 | |
On August 4, 2021, the Company settled the convertible debenture liability through the issuance of 2.5 million common shares valued at $2.7 million and a cash payment of $9.3 million. Due to the change of control from the Transaction, debenture holders were entitled to receive Sundial common shares and a cash payment based on a prescribed formula.
The fair value of the Inner Spirit warrants has been estimated as $1.2 million and is made up of the following components:
| (i) | Equity component of $1.8 million |
| (ii) | Liability component of $0.3 million |
| (iii) | Asset component of $0.9 million |
The warrant holders are entitled to the Transaction consideration of $0.30 cash for each Inner Spirit warrant and 0.0835 Sundial shares per warrant upon exercise. The warrants have exercises prices ranging from $0.10 to $0.35 and the cash payment will be settled on a net basis for the warrant holders. The warrants with exercise prices less than $0.30 will receive cash from Sundial upon exercise for the difference between the $0.30 consideration and the exercise price, and the warrants with exercise prices greater than $0.30 will owe a cash payment to Sundial upon exercise for the difference between the $0.30 consideration and the exercise price.
Subsequent to recording the purchase price allocation, the deferred tax liability was adjusted to nil with the offsetting adjustment to income tax recovery on the basis that both the Company and Inner Spirit are subject to income tax under the same taxation authority.
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements incorporate the operations of Inner Spirit commencing July 20, 2021. During the period July 20, 2021, to September 30, 2021, the Company recorded revenues of $6.1 million and a net loss of $0.8 million. Had the acquisition closed on January 1, 2021, management estimates that for the period January 1, 2021, to July 19, 2021, revenue would have increased by $14.9 million and net earnings would have increased by $4.2 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, 2021.
5. | Discontinued operations |
On May 15, 2020, the Company entered into an agreement to sell all of the outstanding shares of Project Seed Topco (“Bridge Farm”) which closed on June 5, 2020.
The comparative statement of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) and statement of cash flows has been presented to show the discontinued operation separately from continuing operations.

Late in the fourth quarter of 2020 the Company began the deployment of capital toward strategic investments. The Company developed an internal capital program to evaluate these and potential future investments, which is a new and separate business line from its cannabis operations.
Based on the allocation of the Company’s resources by the chief operating decision maker and the information used to analyze the performance of the business, the Company concluded that beginning in Q1 2021, it had two operating segments: cannabis and investments. The acquisition of Inner Spirit (note 4) has led to a third operating segment: retail. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, there was only one reportable segment and therefore no comparative segment information.
The Company’s reportable segments are organized by business line and are comprised of three reportable operating segments: cannabis operations, retail operations and investment operations. Cannabis operations include the cultivation, distribution and sale of cannabis for the adult-use market and medical markets in Canada. Retail operations include the private sale of recreational cannabis through wholly owned and franchise retail cannabis stores. Investment operations include the deployment of capital to investment opportunities. Certain overhead expenses not directly attributable to any operating segment are reported as “Corporate”.

The Company has calculated expected credit losses (“ECLs”) based on lifetime expected credit losses, taking into consideration historical credit loss experience and financial factors specific to the debtors and general economic conditions.
The Company’s biological assets consist of cannabis plants in various stages of vegetation, including plants which have not been harvested. The change in carrying value of biological assets are as follows:
As at | September 30, 2021 | | December 31, 2020 | |

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) | |
| | September 30 2021 | | December 31 2020 | | September 30 2021 | | December 31 2020 | |
Yield per square foot of growing space (1) | Grams | | 51 | | | 45 | | | 282 | | | 347 | |
Average net selling price (2) | $/gram | | 4.49 | | | 5.13 | | | 778 | | | 1,022 | |
After harvest cost to complete and sell | $/gram | | 1.06 | | | 1.32 | | | 206 | | | 291 | |
| (1) | Varies by strain; obtained through historical growing results or grower estimate if historical results are not available. |
| (2) | Varies by strain and sales market; obtained through average selling prices or estimated future selling prices if historical results are not available. |
These estimates are subject to volatility in market prices and several uncontrollable factors, which could significantly affect the fair value of biological assets in future periods.
The Company estimates the harvest yields for cannabis at various stages of growth. As at September 30, 2021, it is estimated that the Company’s biological assets will yield approximately 5,386 kilograms (December 31, 2020 – 5,507 kilograms) of dry cannabis when harvested. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company harvested 16,861 kilograms of dry cannabis (nine months ended September 30, 2020 – 22,396 kilograms).
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.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, depreciation expense of $3.8 million was capitalized to biological assets and inventory (nine months ended September 30, 2020 – $5.6 million).
Due to curtailment in the utilization of the capacity in the Company’s Olds facility to align cannabis production with current demand estimates, the Company has determined that indicators of impairment existed at June 30, 2021. The impairment test for the Company’s Olds CGU used a value in use approach based on internal cash flow estimates at June 30, 2021, and a discount rate of 25%. The discount rate was estimated based on the Company’s weighted average cost of capital, adjusted for risks specific to the CGU. The estimated cash flows were based on a 5-year model taking into account the overall forecasted Canadian cannabis industry market size and the Company’s forecasted market share. A terminal value thereafter was applied. Based on the analysis, there was an impairment of the Company’s Olds CGU of $60.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, as the estimated recoverable amount for this CGU was lower than the respective carrying amount. The estimated value in use for the Company’s Olds CGU was sensitive to an increase in the discount rate. An increase to the discount rate by 1% would increase the impairment by approximately $7.3 million.
At September 30, 2021, the Company determined that no indicators of impairment existed or indicators that a previous impairment should be reversed, and no impairment test was required.

| A) | INvestments at amortized cost |
On February 16, 2021, the Company announced a $22 million strategic investment (the “Indiva Investment”) in Indiva Limited (“Indiva”). The Indiva Investment closed on February 23, 2021. The Indiva Investment was completed in the form of a brokered private placement of 25 million common shares of Indiva at a price of $0.44 per common share, for gross proceeds of $11 million, and a non-revolving secured term loan to Indiva in the principal amount of $11 million (the “Term Loan”). The Term Loan bears interest at a rate of 9% per annum and has a maturity date of February 23, 2024.
The Term Loan has been designated as measured at amortized cost (note 26). The common shares are measured at Fair Value Through Profit or Loss (“FVTPL”) and are included in marketable securities (note 8).
On April 26, 2021, the Company closed a $3.0 million convertible debenture with a private company with a maturity date of October 26, 2021, and an interest rate of 9% per annum. The maturity date was subsequently extended to November 16, 2021. The Company has the right, but not the obligation, to convert all or any portion of the outstanding principal into common shares at a price equal to a conversion formula until the maturity date. The convertible debenture has been designated as measured at amortized cost (note 26).
The Company owns a special purpose vehicle (the “Zenabis Investment”) that owns $51.9 million of aggregate principal amount of senior secured debt of Zenabis Investments Ltd. (the “Zenabis Senior Loan”) of Zenabis Investments Ltd. (“Zenabis”). On June 1, 2021, Zenabis was acquired by HEXO Corp. The Zenabis Senior Loan bears interest at a rate of 14% per annum and has a maturity date of March 31, 2025. Pursuant to the terms of the Zenabis Senior Loan, Zenabis will also pay the Company a royalty based on quarterly sales revenue from its medical, recreational and wholesale cannabis lines net of value added or sales taxes. The royalty is payable for 32 fiscal quarters and is payable for quarters in which Zenabis accomplishes certain sales revenue targets.
The Company is in negotiations with Zenabis for the repayment and termination of the Zenabis Senior Loan as Zenabis is in breach of certain covenants. Zenabis has filed a petition with the Supreme Court of British Columbia to determine the value of the royalty.
The Zenabis Investment has been designated as FVTPL (note 26). There has been no change in fair value as there has not been a significant change in market interest rates or Zenabis’ credit risk and as of November 11, 2021, all required payments have been made in respect of the Zenabis Senior Loan.

On March 23, 2021, the Company’s equity interest in its subsidiary, Pathway RX Inc. (“Pathway”), decreased from 50% to 25%, resulting in a loss of control. The Company decreased its equity interest in connection with amending the license agreement that provides for use of Pathway’s intellectual property. Pathway is a private company focused on developing cannabis-based pharmaceutical drugs to treat symptoms associated with a wide range of medical conditions.
As a result of the loss of control, the Company has de-recognized the assets and liabilities of Pathway, and the non-controlling interest arising upon the acquisition of Pathway. A loss on loss of control of $1.9 million was recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2021. The fair value of the Company’s remaining investment in Pathway was determined to be nil as the Company had fully impaired the intangible asset, which consisted of intellectual property, during the year ended December 31, 2020 as described below, and there are no other assets that would give rise to a measured fair value amount attributable to the remaining 25% interest.
Adjustment to comparative information
During Q4 2020, and as disclosed in the annual consolidated financial statements of the Company as at and for the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recognized an impairment of $12.9 million on the intangible assets held within Pathway. During the preparation of the Q1 2021 interim consolidated financial statements, the Company determined that the allocable amount of this impairment was not attributed to the non-controlling interest. The comparative December 31, 2020, consolidated statement of financial position has been recast to attribute 50% of the impairment of intangible assets recorded to the non-controlling interest as the related intangible assets related entirely to Pathway, the Company’s 50% owned subsidiary.
The recast of the consolidated statement of financial position as at December 2020 resulted in a reduction in non-controlling interest of $6.4 million from the previously reported amount of $4.4 million to the recast amount of negative $2.0 million, and a decrease in accumulated deficit of $6.4 million from the previously reported amount of $564.5 million to the recast amount of $558.1 million and a decrease in loss per share attributable to the Company of $0.03 from the previously reported amount of $1.10 to the recast amount of $1.07.
This recast has no effect on the consolidated 2020 annual net loss or comprehensive loss or on any previously issued interim consolidated financial statements of the Company. The effect of this recast on the Company’s annual results for

The carrying amount is an estimate of the fair value of the derivative warrants and is presented as a current liability. The derivative warrants are classified as a liability due to the Company’s share price being denominated in USD, which creates variability as to the value in CAD when they are exercised. The derivative warrants are recorded as a current liability, however, the Company has no cash obligation with respect to the derivative warrants, rather it will deliver common shares if and when warrants are exercised.

The Company has granted the holders the right to have the common shares issuable upon exercise of the New Warrants registered pursuant to a registration statement filed with the SEC. Such registration statement was filed with the SEC on March 3, 2021. The New Warrants are immediately exercisable and have a term of 42 months from March 18, 2021, which is the effective date of the registration statement.

Financial guarantee liability
For franchise operated locations where the Company provided an indemnity for its franchisees, lease payments are made directly to the landlord by the franchisee, and the obligation to make lease payments would only revert to the Company if a franchisee defaulted on their obligations under the terms of the sub-lease or lease. The Company has made an estimate of expected credit losses in the event of default by the franchisees in making lease payments. This amount is recognized as a financial guarantee liability in the consolidated statement of financial position, and changes in the estimated liability are recognized as a financial guarantee liability expense within finance costs in the consolidated statement of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss).
At September 30, 2021, the Company recognized a financial guarantee liability of $0.3 million (December 31, 2020 - $nil).

In March 2020, the federal government launched the Canadian Emergency Wage Subsidy (“CEWS”) to help businesses impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic keep and rehire employees. The CEWS delivered a 75 percent wage subsidy to eligible employers for an initial period of 12 weeks, from March 15, 2020, to July 4, 2020. Eligibility was based on meeting a minimum requirement for decreased revenue. The CEWS was extended to November 21, 2020, and amended to change the eligibility requirements from meeting a certain threshold to being variable based on how much an employer’s revenue decreased. The CEWS was further extended to June 2021 and included changes to the rates and the top-up calculation. The CEWS has further been extended to October 2021 at which point the federal government announced the CEWS will end on October 23, 2021.
The Company became eligible for the CEWS based on decreases in revenue and received the subsidy during the first quarter of 2021. The subsidy of $2.1 million (2020 - $4.1 million) has been recognized in the condensed consolidated interim statement of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss). There are no unfulfilled conditions or contingencies attached to the CEWS.

The financial instruments recognized on the consolidated statement of financial position are comprised of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, marketable securities, accounts receivable, investments, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, derivative warrants and a financial guarantee liability.
The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature of the instruments. The carrying value of investments at amortized cost approximate their fair value as the fixed interest rates approximate market rates for comparable transactions. The carrying value of the financial guarantee liability is determined based on assessing the timing and amount of expected credit losses.

| (1) | The carrying amount is an estimate of the fair value of the derivative warrants and is presented as a current liability. The Company has no cash obligation with respect to the derivative warrants, rather it will deliver common shares if and when warrants are exercised. |
Level 1 – unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
Marketable securities are designated as FVTPL. The fair value of marketable securities is re-measured each reporting period with changes in fair value recognized in the consolidated statement of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss). The fair value of marketable securities is estimated by using current quoted prices in active markets for identical assets.
Level 2 – quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
As at September 30, 2021, the Company did not have any financial instruments measured at Level 2 fair value.
Level 3 – unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
The investment designated as FVTPL is re-measured each reporting period with changes in the fair value recognized in the consolidated statement of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) within finance costs. The fair value of the outstanding principal and interest approximates the original carrying value of the investment. The fair value for the royalty is estimated to be nil as the value is currently being disputed.
Derivative warrants are designated as FVTPL. The fair value of derivative warrants is re-measured each reporting period with changes in fair value recognized in the consolidated statement of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) within finance costs. The fair value of derivative warrants is estimated by using a valuation model. Assumptions used in these calculations include volatility, discount rate and various probability factors.
There were no transfers between Levels 1, 2 and 3 inputs during the period.
