1. | Description of business |
SNDL Inc. (“SNDL” or the “Company”) was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (Alberta) on August 19, 2006. On July 25, 2022, the Company’s shareholders approved a special resolution amending the articles of SNDL to change the name of the Company from “Sundial Growers Inc.” to “SNDL Inc.”.
The Company’s head office is located at 300, 919 11th Avenue SW, Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
The principal activities of the Company are the retailing of wines, beers and spirits, 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 production, distribution and sale of cannabis in Canada pursuant to the Cannabis Act (Canada) (the “Cannabis Act”), 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.
SNDL and its subsidiaries currently operate solely in Canada. Through its joint venture SunStream Bancorp Inc. (note 14), 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”.
| a) | Statement of compliance |
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 August 12, 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 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 SNDL 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 SNDL 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 | |
Right of use assets | | 171,866 | |
Property, plant and equipment | | 86,059 | |
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. During the period April 1, 2022, to June 30, 2022, the Company recorded revenues of $204.9 million and net earnings of $0.8 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.
The Company incurred acquisition-related costs of $6.8 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 June 30, 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 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 | June 30, 2022 | | December 31, 2021 | |
Balance, beginning of year | | 4,410 | | | 3,531 | |

Transferred to inventory upon harvest | | (18,680 | ) | | (29,709 | ) |
Balance, end of period | | 2,530 | | | 4,410 | |
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.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022

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) | |
| | June 30 2022 | | December 31 2021 | | June 30 2022 | | December 31 2021 | |
Yield per square foot of growing space (1) | Grams | | 49 | | | 49 | | | 247 | | | 435 | |
Average net selling price (2) | $/gram | | 4.37 | | | 4.49 | | | 663 | | | 1,014 | |
After harvest cost to complete and sell | $/gram | | 1.25 | | | 1.06 | | | 201 | | | 249 | |
| (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 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 June 30, 2022, it is estimated that the Company’s biological assets will yield approximately 3,769 kilograms (December 31, 2021 – 5,672 kilograms) of dry cannabis when harvested. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company harvested 12,263 kilograms of dry cannabis (six months ended June 30, 2021 – 11,628 kilograms).

On February 9, 2022, the Company closed a $5.0 million promissory note with a maturity date of February 9, 2025, and an interest rate of 15% per annum.
On March 30, 2022, the Company closed a $10.0 million convertible debenture with Delta 9 Cannabis Inc. with a maturity date of March 30, 2025, and an interest rate of 10% per annum. On August 11, 2022, the Company waived compliance under the use of proceeds requirement under certain conditions.
On June 17, 2022, Zenabis Global Inc. (“Zenabis”), as well as Zenabis’ direct and indirect wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Zenabis Group”), filed a petition with the Québec Superior Court for protection under the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act (“CCAA”). On June 16, 2022 (and amended on July 5, 2022), the Company entered into a purchase agreement, in the form of a “stalking horse bid” (the “Bid Agreement”), pursuant to which the shares of Zenabis and the business and assets of the Zenabis Group would be acquired by SNDL. The Bid Agreement is subject to the approval by the Québec Superior Court supervising the CCAA Proceedings, and to potential alternative bids pursuant to bidding procedures that will follow. Due to the uncertainty of outcomes, the Company has adjusted the fair value of the Zenabis Senior Loan downward by $22.1 million (note 22) to management’s best estimate of the fair value of the Zenabis Senior Loan at June 30, 2022, in accordance with the requirements of IFRS. In the event that facts and circumstances change the fair value may be adjusted further. The fair value determination does not attribute value to the associated royalty due to its inherent uncertainty, or monitoring fee.

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 nor is there any cash loss with respect to the derivative warrants, rather it will deliver common shares if and when warrants are exercised.
The following table summarizes outstanding derivative warrants as at June 30, 2022:
| Exercise price (USD) | | Number of warrants | | Weighted average contractual life | |
2020 Series A Warrants (1) | | 1.77 | | | 50,000 | | | 3.1 | |

New Warrants | | 15.00 | | | 9,833,333 | | | 2.1 | |
December 2018 Performance Warrants | CAD 5.51 | | | 118,067 | | | 1.5 | |
| | | | | 10,051,400 | | | 2.1 | |
| (1) | The conversion or exercise price, as applicable, is subject to full ratchet antidilution protection upon any subsequent transaction at a price lower than the price then in effect and standard adjustments in the event of any share split, share dividend, share combination, recapitalization or other similar transaction. If the Company issues, sells or enters into any agreement to issue or sell, any variable rate securities, the investors have the additional right to substitute the variable price (or formula) of such securities for the conversion or exercise price, as applicable. |
In connection with the Alcanna Transaction (note 3), the Company acquired warrants previously issued by Nova (the “December 2018 Performance Warrants”) that are classified as a liability.
The December 2018 Performance Warrants became immediately exercisable upon issuance. Each performance warrant includes a performance incentive that entitles the warrant holders to additional common shares of Nova upon exercise provided that the 20-day volume weighted average trading price of Nova’s common shares (the “Market Price”) equals or exceeds $19.27 at any time prior to the expiration date of the warrants. The Market Price condition has not been met. As such, the fair value of the December 2018 Performance Warrants was recognized as a warrant liability, inclusive of a probability weighting associated with the performance incentive being met. Under the terms of the warrant agreements, each performance warrant can be exercised for 0.05449 to 0.08174 of a Nova common share (depending on whether performance conditions are met) prior to the expiration date of December 18, 2023, at an exercise price of $5.51 per Nova common share. At June 30, 2022, there were 118,067 December 2018 Performance Warrants outstanding.

| (A) | 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 loss and comprehensive loss.
Deferred share units (“DSUs”) are granted to directors and generally vest in equal instalments over one year. DSUs are settled by making a cash payment to the holder equal to the fair value of the Company’s common shares calculated at the date of such payment. DSUs are accounted for as a liability instrument and measured at fair value based on the market value of the Company’s common shares at each period end. Changes in the fair value are recognized within share-based compensation expense (note 19(d)).
18. | Share capital and warrants |
The authorized capital of the Company consists of an unlimited number of voting common shares and preferred shares with no par value.
On July 25, 2022, the Company’s shareholders approved a special resolution for the consolidation of all of the issued and outstanding common shares (the “Share Consolidation”) on the basis of not more than one post-consolidation common share for every ten pre-consolidation common shares and not less than one post-consolidation common share for every twenty-five pre-consolidation common shares, as to be determined by the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) in its sole discretion, to become effective at such time as the Board considers it to be in the best interests of the Company, but in any event not later than July 25, 2023.
Immediately following the shareholder approval, the Board determined to affect the Share Consolidation on the basis of one post-consolidation common share for every ten pre-consolidation common shares. The Share Consolidation took
