1. Background
Cronos Group Inc. (“Cronos Group” or the “Company”) was incorporated on August 21, 2012 under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario). Effective July 9, 2020, the Company’s legal existence was continued to the Province of British Columbia and under the British Columbia Business Corporations Act. The Company’s common shares are currently listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) and Nasdaq Global Market (“Nasdaq”) under the ticker symbol “CRON.”
Cronos Group is an innovative global cannabinoid company, with international production and distribution across five continents. The Company is committed to building disruptive intellectual property by advancing cannabis research, technology and product development and is building an iconic brand portfolio. Cronos Group’s brand portfolio includes PEACE NATURALS ™ , a global wellness platform; two adult-use brands, COVE ™ and Spinach ™ ; and three U.S. hemp-derived consumer products brands, Lord Jones ™ , Happy Dance ™ and PEACE+ ™ .
Cronos Group has established four strategic joint ventures in Canada, Israel, and Colombia. One of these strategic joint ventures, Cronos Israel (as defined herein) is consolidated for financial reporting purposes. The Company also holds approximately 31 % of the issued capital of Cronos Australia Limited (“Cronos Australia”) and accounts for its investment in Cronos Australia under the equity method of accounting. For additional discussion regarding the joint ventures and strategic investment, see Note 6.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Changes in Accounting Policy
(a) Basis of presentation
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Cronos Group are unaudited. They have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission relating to interim financial statements. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other reporting period.
These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related notes included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2019 (the “Annual Financial Statements”).
(b) Basis of consolidation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, and all entities in which the Company has a controlling voting interest and/or is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest as of and for the period presented. The Company consolidates the financial results of the following entities, which the Company controls:
Subsidiaries Jurisdiction of incorporation Incorporation date Ownership interest (ii)
Cronos Israel G.S. Cultivation Ltd. (i)
Israel February 4, 2018 70 %
Cronos Israel G.S. Manufacturing Ltd. (i)
Israel September 4, 2018 90 %
Cronos Israel G.S. Store Ltd. (i)
Israel June 28, 2018 90 %
Cronos Israel G.S. Pharmacy Ltd. (i)
Israel February 15, 2018 90 %
(i) These Israeli entities are collectively referred to as “Cronos Israel.”
(ii) “Ownership interest” is defined as the proportionate share of net income to which the Company is entitled; equity interest may differ from ownership interest.
In the condensed consolidated statements of net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss), the net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) are attributed to the equity holders of the Company and to the non-controlling interests. Non-controlling interests in the equity of Cronos Israel are presented separately in the shareholders’ equity (deficit) section of the condensed consolidated balance sheets and condensed consolidated statements of changes in equity (deficit). All intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated upon consolidation.

(c) Goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets
Goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets are reviewed for impairment annually or more frequently when events or changes in circumstances indicate that fair value of the reporting unit has been reduced to less than its carrying value. The Company performs an impairment test annually in the fourth quarter by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill is not considered to be impaired. An impairment charge would be recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. The Company determined that it has two reporting units: the U.S. reporting unit and the Rest of World reporting unit.
During the second quarter of 2020, the Company concluded that the projected impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its sales and revenues in the near term, together with the volatility in the market conditions during the period represented potential indicators of impairment for the U.S. reporting unit. Accordingly, the Company performed an interim impairment analysis during the second quarter of 2020. No triggering events were identified during the three months ended September 30, 2020. See Note 13 for more information regarding intangibles assets and goodwill.
(d) Definite life intangible assets
On July 1, 2020, the Company changed its method of amortization for the computer software asset class from an accelerated 50 % double declining method to the straight-line method of five years . The Company determined that the change in estimate to the straight-line method is more appropriate based on the usage of the assets in the asset class. The change in estimate is applied prospectively as of July 1, 2020.
Intangible assets with finite useful lives are recorded at cost less any accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. Intangible assets acquired through a business combination are measured at fair value at the acquisition date.
The Company capitalizes certain costs incurred in connection with its enterprise resource planning software, which include external direct costs of materials and services consumed in developing or obtaining internal-use software, payroll and payroll-related costs for employees who are directly associated with and who devote time to the development of the software for the function intended. All other costs are expensed as incurred.
Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives using the following methods and rates:
Method Rate
Software Straight-line 5 years
Enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) system Straight-line 5 years
Health Canada licenses Straight-line Useful life of corresponding facilities
Israeli codes (i)
Straight-line Useful life of corresponding facilities
(i) The preliminary licenses granted to Kibbutz Gan Shmuel (the Cronos Israel joint venture partner) by the Medical Cannabis Unit of the Israeli Ministry of Health in early 2017 (the “Israeli codes”) were transferred by non-controlling interests to Cronos Israel in exchange for equity interests in the Cronos Israel entities specified above.
Amortization begins when assets become available for use. The estimated useful life, amortization method, and rate are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis.
(e) Assets held for sale and discontinued operations
In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 205-20 Presentation of Financial Statements: Discontinued Operations, a disposal of a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity is required to be reported as discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results when the components of an entity meet the criteria in paragraph 205-20-45-10. In the period in which the component meets held-for-sale or discontinued operations criteria the major current assets, other assets, current liabilities, and noncurrent liabilities shall be reported as components of total assets and liabilities separate from those balances of the continuing operations. At the same time, the results of all discontinued operations, less applicable income taxes (benefit), shall be reported as components of net income (loss) separate from the net income (loss) of continuing operations.
During the three months ended September 30, 2020, Original B.C. Ltd. (“OGBC”) met the criteria for “held-for-sale”. As a result, the Company has reflected amounts relating to OGBC as a disposal group classified as held-for-sale on the consolidated balance sheet and included as part of discontinued operations on the consolidated statement of net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) for all

periods presented in this Quarterly Report. OGBC is no longer included in the segment reporting following the reclassification to discontinued operations. The discontinued operations of OGBC are described further in Note 24.
The following table presents a reconciliation of the carrying amounts of major classes of assets and liabilities of the discontinued operations to total assets and liabilities of the disposal group classified as held-for-sale in the consolidated balance sheet of December 31, 2019:

The following table presents a reconciliation of the major classes of line items constituting reported operating loss of discontinued operations to net loss of discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019:
Three months ended September 30, 2019 Nine months ended September 30, 2019
As previously disclosed Held-for-sale adjustment Adjusted balance As previously disclosed Held-for-sale adjustment Adjusted balance

Other income (loss) 634,920 — 634,920 1,161,677 ( 13 ) 1,161,664
Net income (loss) from continuing operations 604,128 36 604,164 1,104,004 63 1,104,067
(f) Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period financial information to conform to the presentation used in the financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020. These reclassifications have no effect on the results of reported operating loss, net income, shareholders’ equity or cash flows. See Note 2(e) and Note 24.
Corporate expense reclassifications within segment disclosures:
In the three months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recorded a reclassification related to the allocation of operating expenses that was determined to be corporate expenses in nature to its segments, which decreased its Rest of World segment net loss by $ 4,626 and increased net loss attributable to corporate expenses by the same amount. This reclassification had no effect on the Company's consolidated statement of net income (loss). See Note 18.
Had all these amounts been classified in this manner for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020, net income (loss) attributable to the Rest of World segment would have increased by $ 2,899 and $ 1,727 , respectively, and increased net loss attributable to corporate expenses by the same amounts. The Company does not consider the effect on year-to-date 2020 results or the effect on comparable quarterly periods to be material, and there was no impact on 2019 full year results.
After evaluating the quantitative and qualitative aspects of these reclassifications, the Company concluded that its prior period financial statements were not materially misstated, and, therefore, no restatement was required .
Revision of previously issued financial statements:
During the three months ended September 30, 2020, the Company identified an error in the manner in which it calculated diluted earnings (loss) per share for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The error had no impact on diluted earnings (loss) per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. See Note 16.
While the Company had excluded the anti-dilutive effect of the one warrant of the Company (the “Altria Warrant”), refer to Note 15(a) in the calculation of weighted average number of common shares for computation of diluted income (loss) per share, the gain on revaluation of derivative liabilities attributable to the Altria Warrant was incorrectly included in the calculation of diluted earnings (loss) per share, which resulted in an error in the previously reported amount for the three months ended September 30, 2019. Because the average market price of the Company’s common stock remained above the strike price of the Altria Warrant for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, there was no impact on the reported amount for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, and there was no impact in prior or subsequent quarterly periods.

After evaluating the quantitative and qualitative aspects of this error, the Company concluded that its prior period financial statements were not materially misstated, and, therefore, no restatement was required. However, the Company is revising the previously presented September 30, 2019 diluted earnings (loss) per share and adjustment for gain (loss) on revaluation of derivative liabilities, as follows:
Three months ended September 30, 2019

Diluted earnings (loss) per share $ 0.42 $ 1.62
Adjustment for gain (loss) on revaluation of derivative liabilities ( 488,041 ) ( 6,952 )
3. New Accounting Pronouncements
(a) Adoption of new accounting pronouncements
On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASU No. 2018-13, Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) (“ASU No. 2018-13”). ASU No. 2018-13 adds, modifies, and removes certain fair value measurement disclosure requirements. The adoption of this standard was applied prospectively and did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASU No. 2018-15, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other Internal-use-software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract (“ASU No. 2018-15”). ASU No. 2018-15 amends current guidance to align the accounting for costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing costs associated with developing or obtaining internal-use software. The guidance in ASU No. 2018-15 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this standard was applied prospectively and did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) – Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (“ASU No. 2017-04”). ASU No. 2017-04 eliminates step 2 from the goodwill impairment test and instead requires an entity to measure the impairment of goodwill assigned to a reporting unit if the carrying value of assets and liabilities assigned to the reporting unit, including goodwill, exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. The guidance in ASU No. 2017-04 is effective for annual and interim goodwill tests completed by the Company beginning on January 1, 2020. The adoption of this standard was applied prospectively and the Company follows a one-step model for goodwill impairment.
(b) New accounting pronouncements not yet adopted
In January 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2020-01, Investments-Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) (“ASU No. 2020-01”). ASU No. 2020-01 clarifies the interaction of accounting for the transition into and out of the equity method. The new standard also clarifies the accounting for measuring certain purchased options and forward contracts to acquire investments. The guidance in ASU No. 2020-01 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of the adoption of ASU No. 2020-01, but anticipates that the adoption will not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU No. 2019-12”). ASU No. 2019-12 eliminates certain exceptions and simplifies the application of U.S. GAAP-related changes in enacted tax laws or rates and employee stock option plans. ASU No. 2019-12 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of the adoption of ASU No. 2019-12, but anticipates that the adoption will not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt –Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging –Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815–40) (“ASU No. 2020-06”). ASU No. 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. ASU No 2020-06 is part of the FASB’s simplification initiative, which aims to reduce unnecessary complexity in U.S. GAAP. ASU No. 2020-6 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim

periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact ASU No. 2020-06 will have on its financial statements .
4. Revenues from Contracts with Customers
Cronos Group disaggregates net revenues based on product type. For further discussion, see Note 18. Receivables were $ 6,086 as of September 30, 2020 (December 31, 2019 – $ 4,638 ). The Company recorded a current expected credit loss allowance on receivables of $ 64 as of September 30, 2020 (December 31, 2019 – $ 136 ).
The Company offers discounts to customers for prompt payment and calculates cash discounts as a percentage of the list price based on historical experience and agreed-upon payment terms. The Company records an allowance for cash discounts, which is included as a contra-asset against receivables on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Revenue is measured net of returns. As a result, the Company is required to estimate the amount of returns based on the historical data by customer and product type, adjusted for forward-looking information. This is recorded as a provision against accounts receivable on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The Company estimates sales returns based principally on historical volume and return rates, as a reduction to revenues. The difference between actual sales and estimated sales returns is recorded in the period in which the actual amounts become known. These differences, if any, have not had a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
Upon return, products can be extracted from dried cannabis, resold, or destroyed depending on the nature of the product. The Company has assessed that the amount recoverable from returned products for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 is not material.
5. Inventory, net
Inventory is comprised of the following items:
As of
September 30, 2020 December 31, 2019
Raw materials $ 10,214 $ 2,469
Work-in-progress – dry cannabis 25,799 11,538
Work-in-progress – cannabis extracts 13,436 17,975
Finished goods – dry cannabis 4,514 1,798
Finished goods – cannabis extracts 2,067 2,624
Supplies and consumables 329 1,639
Total $ 56,359 $ 38,043
Inventory is written down for any obsolescence such as slow-moving or non-marketable products, or when the net realizable value of inventory is less than the carrying value. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recorded write-downs related to inventory of $ 11,024 (for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 – $ 5,424 ). No inventory write-downs were recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2020. As of September 30, 2020, an inventory reserve of $ 1,403 was recorded (September 30, 2019 – $nil)

6. Investments and Advances to Joint Ventures
Variable interest entities
The Company holds variable interests in Cronos Growing Company Inc. (“Cronos GrowCo”), Natuera S.à.r.l (“Natuera”), MedMen Canada Inc. (“MedMen Canada”) and Cannasoul Lab Services Ltd. (“CLS”).
Cronos GrowCo is a joint venture incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act (“CBCA”) on June 14, 2018 with the objective of building a cannabis production greenhouse, applying for cannabis licenses under the Cannabis Act (Canada), and growing, cultivating, extracting, producing and selling cannabis in accordance with such licenses. Cronos Group holds variable interests in Cronos GrowCo through its ownership of 50 % of Cronos GrowCo’s common shares and senior secured debt in Cronos GrowCo. Cronos GrowCo’s economic performance is driven by the quantity and strains of cannabis grown. The joint venture partners mutually determine the quantity and strains of cannabis grown.
Natuera is a joint venture registered in Luxembourg with the objective of cultivating and commercializing hemp and cannabis products to serve the export market. Cronos holds variable interests in Natuera through its ownership of 50 % of Natuera’s common shares and other debt in the entity. Natuera’s economic performance is driven by the quantity and strains of cannabis to be grown. The joint venture partners mutually determine the quantity and strains of cannabis grown.
MedMen Canada is a joint venture incorporated under the CBCA on March 13, 2018, with the objective of the retail sale and marketing of cannabis products in Canada. MedMen Canada holds the exclusive license to the MedMen brand in Canada for a minimum term of 20 years. Cronos holds variable interests in MedMen Canada through its ownership of 50 % of MedMen Canada’s common shares and other subordinated debt in the entity. MedMen Canada’s economic performance is driven by the quantity and strains of cannabis sold. Subject to applicable law, the joint venture partners mutually determine the quantity and strains of cannabis to be sold in MedMen Canada’s retail stores, if and when stores are opened.
The Company’s investments in Cronos GrowCo, Natuera and MedMen Canada are exposed to economic variability from each entity’s performance; however, the Company does not consolidate the entities as it does not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact each entities’ economic performance. Thus, Cronos Group is not considered the primary beneficiary of each entity. These investments are accounted for as equity method investments classified as “Investments in equity accounted investees” in the consolidated balance sheets.
CLS is a wholly owned subsidiary of Cannasoul Analytics Ltd., incorporated with the purpose of establishing a commercial cannabis analytical testing laboratory located on the premises of Cronos Israel (the “Cannasoul Collaboration”). Cronos Israel will advance ILS 8,297 (approximately $ 2,446 ) by a non-recourse loan to CLS over a period of two years from April 1, 2020 for the capital and operating expenditures of the laboratory. The loan will bear interest at 3.5 % annually. Cronos Israel will receive 70 % of the profits of the laboratory until such time as it has recovered 150 % of the amounts advanced to CLS, after which time it will receive 50 % of the laboratory profits. As a result, the Company is exposed to economic variability from CLS’s performance. The Company does not consolidate CLS as it does not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance; thus, the Company is not considered the primary beneficiary of the entity. The carrying amount of the non-recourse loan is recorded under loans receivable and the full loan amount, ILS 8,297 , represents the Company’s maximum potential exposure to losses through the Cannasoul Collaboration. See Note 10 for further information regarding loans receivable.

The Company’s ownership in Cronos Australia decreased from 50 % to 31 % on November 7, 2019 when Cronos Australia began trading on the Australian Securities Exchange. This resulted in a reconsideration event, which required the reassessment of the Company’s variable interest entity conclusion. Upon reconsideration, the Company determined that the entity was no longer a variable interest entity as of December 31, 2019 and is now reported under the equity method.
(ii) On September 25, 2020, the Company and 2645485 Ontario Inc.

As a result, the Company transferred the advances of C$ 24,650 ($ 18,505 ) to investments in equity accounted investees in respect of Cronos GrowCo..

11. Derivative Liabilities
On March 8, 2019, the Company closed the previously announced investment in the Company (the “Altria Investment”) by Altria Group, Inc. (“Altria”), pursuant to a subscription agreement dated December 7, 2018. As of the closing date of the Altria Investment, the Altria Investment consisted of 149,831,154 common shares of the Company as of the closing date, issued to a wholly owned subsidiary of Altria and the Altria Warrant, issued to a wholly owned subsidiary of Altria. As of the closing date of the Altria Investment, Altria beneficially held an approximately 45 % ownership interest in the Company (calculated on a non-diluted basis). As summarized in this note, if exercised in full on such date, the exercise of the Altria Warrant would have resulted in Altria holding a total ownership interest in the Company of approximately 55 % (calculated on a non-diluted basis). Pursuant to the investor rights agreement between the Company and Altria, entered into in connection with the closing of the Altria Investment (the “Investor Rights Agreement”), the Company granted Altria certain rights, among others, summarized in this note.
The summaries below are qualified entirely by the terms and conditions fully set out in the Investor Rights Agreement and the Altria Warrant, as applicable.
a. The Altria Warrant entitles the holder, subject to certain qualifications and limitations, to subscribe for and purchase up to an additional 10 % of the common shares of Cronos (approximately 79.1 million common shares at September 30, 2020) at a per share exercise price of C$ 19.00 which expires on March 8, 2023.
b. The Company granted to Altria, subject to certain qualifications and limitations, upon the occurrence of certain issuances of common shares of the Company executed by the Company (including issuances pursuant to the R&D partnership with Ginkgo Bioworks Inc. (“Ginkgo”) (the “Ginkgo Strategic Partnership”), which is discussed in Note 19(a)(i) below, the right to purchase up to such number of common shares of the Company in order to maintain their ownership percentage of issued and outstanding common shares of the Company immediately preceding any issuance of shares by the Company (“Pre-emptive Rights”), at the same price per common share of the Company at which the common shares are sold in the relevant issuance. The price per common share of the Company to be paid by Altria pursuant to its exercise of its Pre-emptive Rights related to the Ginkgo Strategic Partnership will be C$ 16.25 per common share. These rights may not be exercised if Altria’s ownership percentage of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company falls below 20 %.
c. In addition to (and without duplication of) the Pre-emptive Rights, the Company granted to Altria, subject to certain qualifications and limitations, the right to subscribe for common shares of the Company issuable in connection with the exercise, conversion or exchange of convertible securities of the Company issued prior to March 8, 2019 or thereafter (excluding any convertible securities of the Company owned by Altria or any of its subsidiaries), a share incentive plan of the Company, the exercise of any right granted by the Company pro rata to all shareholders of the Company to purchase additional common shares and/or securities of the Company, bona fide bank debt, equipment financing or non-equity interim financing transactions that contemplate an equity component or bona fide acquisitions (including acquisitions of assets or rights under a license or otherwise), mergers or similar business combination transactions or joint ventures involving the Company in order to maintain their ownership percentage of issued and outstanding common shares of the Company immediately preceding any such transactions (“Top-up Rights”).
The price per common share to be paid by Altria pursuant to the exercise of its Top-up Rights will be, subject to certain limited exceptions, the 10 -day volume-weighted average price of the common shares of the Company on the TSX for the ten full days preceding such exercise by Altria, provided that the price per common share of the Company to be paid by Altria pursuant to the exercise of its Top-up Rights in connection with the issuance of common shares of the Company pursuant to the exercise of options or warrants that were outstanding as of March 8, 2019 will be C$ 16.25 per common share without any set off, counterclaim, deduction, or withholding. These rights may not be exercised if Altria’s ownership percentage of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company falls below 20 %. The Altria Warrant, Pre-emptive Rights, and fixed price Top-up Rights have been classified as derivative liabilities; related transaction costs of $ 22,355 were expensed as financing costs during the year ended December 31, 2019.

A reconciliation of the carrying amounts of the derivative liability is presented below:
As of July 1, 2020 (Gain) / loss on revaluation Exercise of rights Effect from foreign exchange As of September 30, 2020
(a) Altria Warrant $ 165,958 $ ( 82,495 ) $ — $ 2,374 $ 85,837

$ 297,160 $ ( 182,795 ) $ ( 1,407 ) $ ( 10,303 ) $ 102,655
Fluctuations in the Company’s share price are a primary driver for the changes in the derivative valuations during each reporting period. As the share price decreases for each of the related derivative instruments, the liability of the instrument generally decreases. Share price is one of the significant observable inputs used in the fair value measurement of each of the Company’s derivative instruments. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company’s share price decreased from December 31, 2019 resulting in a gain on revaluation of $ 182,795 .
The fair values of the derivative liabilities were determined using the Black-Scholes pricing model as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 applying the following inputs:
As of September 30, 2020 As of December 31, 2019
Altria Warrant Pre-emptive Rights Top-up Rights Altria Warrant Pre-emptive Rights Top-up Rights
Share price at valuation date (per share in C$) $ 6.69 $ 6.69 $ 6.69 $ 9.97 $ 9.97 $ 9.97
Subscription price (per share in C$) $ 19.00 $ 16.25 $ 16.25 $ 19.00 $ 16.25 $ 16.25
Weighted average risk-free interest rate (i)
0.25 % 0.24 % 0.20 % 1.69 % 1.73 % 1.71 %
Weighted average expected life (in years) (ii)
2.43 1.75 1.13 3.18 1.25 1.66
Expected annualized volatility (iii)
81 % 81 % 81 % 82 % 82 % 82 %
Expected dividend yield — % — % — % — % — % — %
(i) The risk-free interest rate was based on Bank of Canada government treasury bills and bonds with a remaining term equal to the expected life of the derivative liabilities. The risk-free interest rate uses a range of approximately 0.12 % to 0.36 % as of September 30, 2020 (December 31, 2019 – 1.66 % to 1.73 %) for the Pre-emptive Rights and Top-up Rights.
(ii) The expected life in years represents the period of time that the derivative liabilities are expected to be outstanding. The expected life of the Pre-emptive Rights and Top-up Rights is determined based on the expected term of the underlying options, warrants, and shares, to which the Pre-emptive Rights and Top-up Rights are linked. The expected life uses a range of approximately 0.25 year to 5.25 years as of September 30, 2020 (December 31, 2019 – 0.25 year to 6 years).
(iii) Volatility was based on an equally weighted blended historical volatility level of the underlying equity securities of the Company and peer companies.

The following table quantifies each of the significant inputs described above and provides a sensitivity analysis of the impact on the reported values of the derivative liabilities. The sensitivity analysis for each significant input is performed by assuming a 10% decrease in the input while other significant inputs remain constant at management’s best estimate as of the respective dates. A decrease in the inputs noted below would cause a decrease in derivative liability and as of September 30, 2020, there would be an equal but opposite impact on net income (loss).
Decrease as of September 30, 2020 Decrease as of December 31, 2019
Altria Warrant Pre-emptive Rights Top-up Rights Altria Warrant Pre-emptive Rights Top-up Rights

13. Intangible Assets and Goodwill
The ongoing restrictions and closures experienced by retail stores in the U.S. as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic have negatively impacted sales and demand which has resulted in slower than expected revenue growth in the U.S. reporting unit. The Company expects the revenue growth and operating results in the U.S. reporting unit to continue to be negatively impacted as the decrease in customer demand and retail closures are expected to continue as a result of the pandemic. The Company performed an interim impairment test as of June 30, 2020 on the U.S. reporting unit, which holds the Redwood goodwill, as well as the indefinite-lived intangible asset (Lord Jones™ brand) to determine whether the carrying amount of the reporting unit and intangible asset exceeded their respective fair values. The Company reassessed its estimates and forecasts during the second quarter of 2020 to determine the fair values of the reporting unit and intangible asset. The fair values were determined using a discounted cash flow method on the reporting unit and the relief-from-royalty method on the Lord Jones™ brand. Based on these valuations, the carrying value exceeded the fair value resulting in an impairment on both the reporting unit as well as the Lord Jones™ brand. The Company does not believe the declines in fair values are temporary.
The Company recorded $ 35,000 of impairment charges on the U.S. reporting unit and $ 5,000 on the Lord Jones™ brand for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. No impairment loss was recorded for either goodwill or intangible assets during the three months ended September 30, 2020 or during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019.

(iii) Fair value of options issued
The fair value of the options issued was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, using the following inputs:
For the nine months ended September 30,
2020 2019
Share price at grant date (per share) C$ 6.96
C$ 15.34 - C$ 24.75
Exercise price (per option) C$ 6.96

Expected dividend yield — % — %
Weighted average Black-Scholes value at grant date (per option) C$ 4.84
C$ 10.6 - C$ 15.91
Forfeiture rate — % — %
(i) The expected life of the awards represents the period of time stock options are expected to be outstanding and is estimated considering vesting terms and employees’ and non-employees’ historical exercise and post-vesting employment termination behavior. Volatility was based on an equally weighted blended historical volatility level of the underlying equity securities of the Company and peer companies. The risk-free interest rate was based on the Bank of Canada government bonds with a remaining term equal to the expected life of the options at the grant date.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the weighted average fair value per share at grant date of options was C$ 4.84 (nine months ended September 30, 2019 - C$ 13.32 ).
(c) Restricted share units
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company reco rded $ 6,365 and $ 7,847 , respectively (for three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 – $ 186 ) in share-based compensation expense related to the issuance of RSUs during such periods.
The following is a summary of the changes in RSUs from January 1, 2020 to September 30, 2020:
Number of RSUs Weighted average grant date fair value (C$)
Balance as of January 1, 2020 732,972 $ 15.34

Cancellation and forfeitures ( 9,497 ) 7.52
Balance as of September 30, 2020 805,377 $ 7.32
(i) On September 9, 2020, the Company issued 450,000 RSUs to Mr. Schmidt in connection with his appointment as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company under the 2020 Omnibus Plan. The RSUs vest on September 10, 2023, subject to Mr. Schmidt’s continued employment through such date. The vesting of such RSUs is not subject to the achievement of any performance criteria.
In August 2020 and May 2020, the Company issued an aggregate of 85,597 and 279,277 RSUs, respectively, to certain employees under the 2020 Omnibus Plan. Each RSU entitles the holder thereof to receive upon vesting one common share of the Company. The RSUs vest annually in equal installments over a three-year period following the grant date, subject to such holder’s continued employment through each vesting date. The vesting of such RSUs is not subject to the achievement of any performance criteria.
(ii) On July 20, 2020, the Company entered into separation agreements with Robert Rosenheck and another Redwood Wellness, LLC (“Redwood”) employee pursuant to which they resigned from their employment with Redwood. In connection with such separation agreements, 732,972 outstanding and unvested RSUs were accelerated and vested during the three months ended September 30, 2020.

(i) During the three months ended September 30, 2019, the Company issued an aggregate of 732,972 RSUs to Mr. Rosenheck and another Redwood employee in connection with the acquisition of four Redwood Holding Group, LLC subsidiaries. These RSUs were accelerated and vested during the three months ended September 30, 2020.
(d) Deferred share units
On August 10, 2019, the Company established a cash-settled deferred share unit plan (“DSU Plan”) pursuant to which its non-executive directors receive deferred share units (“DSUs”). The DSU Plan is designed to promote a greater alignment of long-term interests between non-executive directors and shareholders. The number of DSUs granted under the DSU Plan (including fractional DSUs) is determined by dividing the amount of remuneration payable by the closing price as reported by the TSX on the trading day immediately preceding the day of grant. DSUs are payable at the time a non-executive director ceases to hold the office of director for any reason and are settled by a lump-sum cash payment, in accordance with the terms of the DSU Plan, based on the fair value of the DSUs at such time. The fair value of the cash payout is determined by multiplying the number of DSUs vested at the payout date by the closing price as reported by the TSX on the trading day immediately preceding the payout date. The fair value of the cash payout is determined at each reporting date based on the fair value of the Company’s common shares at the reporting date and is recorded within other liabilities.
The following is a summary of the changes in DSUs from January 1, 2020 to September 30, 2020:
Number of DSUs Financial liability
Balance as of January 1, 2020 33,397 $ 255

18. Segment Information
Segment reporting is prepared on the same basis that the Company’s chief operating decision makers (the “CODMs”) manage the business, make operating decisions and assess the Company’s performance. The Company determined that it has the following two reportable segments: United States and Rest of World. The United States operating segment consists of the manufacture and distribution of hemp-derived CBD infused products. The Rest of World operating segment is involved in the cultivation, manufacture, and marketing of cannabis and cannabis-derived products for the medical and adult-use markets . These two segments represent the geographic regions in which the Company operates and the different product offerings within each geographic region. The results of each segment are regularly reviewed by the CODMs to assess the performance of the segment and make decisions regarding the allocation of resources. The CODMs review operating income (loss) as the measure of segment profit or loss to evaluate performance of and allocate resources for its reportable segments. Operating income (loss) is defined as net revenue less cost of sales and operating expenses. Corporate expenses are expenses that relate to the consolidated business and not to an individual operating segment. The Company’s method of allocating corporate costs is refined periodically.
Reporting by operating segments follows the same accounting policies as those used to prepare the consolidated financial statements. The operating segments are presented in accordance with the same criteria used for internal reporting prepared for the CODMs. Intersegment transactions are recorded at the stated values as agreed to by the segments.

19. Commitments
(a) R&D commitments
(i) Ginkgo. On September 4, 2018, the Company announced an R&D partnership with Ginkgo to develop scalable and consistent production of eight target cannabinoids, including THC, CBD and a variety of other lesser known and rarer cannabinoids. As part of this partnership, Cronos Group has agreed to issue up to 14,674,903 common shares of the Company (aggregate value of approximately $ 100,000 as of July 17, 2018 assuming all milestones are met) (collectively the “Ginkgo Equity Milestones”) in tranches and $ 22,000 in cash subject to Ginkgo’s achievement of certain milestones and to fund certain R&D expenses, including foundry access fees.
(ii) Technion. On October 15, 2018, the Company entered into a sponsored research agreement with the Technion Research and Development Foundation of the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology (“Technion”). Research will be focused on the use of cannabinoids and their role in regulating skin health and skin disorders. The Company has committed to $ 1,784 of research funding over a period of three years . An additional $ 4,900 of cash payments will be paid to Technion upon the achievement of certain milestones.
(b) Altria consulting services
On February 18, 2019, the Company entered into an agreement with a wholly owned subsidiary of Altria (which agreement was subsequently amended and restated to substitute Altria Pinnacle as a party thereto), to receive strategic advisory and project management services from Altria Pinnacle (the “Services Agreement”). Pursuant to the Services Agreement, the Company will pay Altria Pinnacle a monthly fee equal to the product of 105 % and the sum of: (i) all costs directly associated with the services incurred during the monthly period, and (ii) a reasonable and appropriate allocation of indirect costs incurred during the monthly period. The Company will also pay all third-party direct charges incurred during the monthly period in connection with the services, including any reasonable and documented costs, fees and expenses associated with obtaining any consent, license or permit. The Services Agreement will remain in effect until terminated by either party.
(c) Use of publicity rights in brand development
On December 23, 2019, the Company issued 856,017 restricted common shares to Kristen Bell, an accredited investor, in a private placement (“Private Placement – 2019”) in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 in connection with the use of certain publicity rights in the brand development of Happy Dance™. One-third of such common shares vested on January 31, 2020 with the remaining shares vesting in two equal installments on June 23, 2021, and December 23, 2022. The issuance did not involve a public offering and was made without general solicitation or advertising. The total fair value of the consideration paid for the issuance of such common shares was approximately $ 6,000 . The fair value of the shares was calculated using the ten -day volume weighted average price per share of the Company’s common shares on Nasdaq.
Additional restricted common shares are issued when certain performance milestones are achieved:
(i) First Performance Issuance: if, prior to December 23, 2022, the product line generates at least $ 50,000 in net revenue, additional common shares with an aggregate value of $ 1,000 will be issued.
(ii) Second Performance Issuance: if, prior to December 23, 2022, the product line generates at least $ 100,000 in net revenue, additional common shares with an aggregate value of $ 1,000 will be issued (together with the First Performance Issuance noted above).
The number of common shares that would be issued upon achieving the foregoing milestones will be determined based on the ten -day volume weighted average price per share of the Company’s common shares on Nasdaq as of the trading day immediately prior to the date of filing with the SEC of the Company’s audited year-end financial statements for the first fiscal year during which such milestones are achieved.

20. Contingencies
The Company is subject to various legal proceedings in the ordinary course of its business and in connection with its marketing, distribution and sale of its products. Many of these legal proceedings are in the early stages of litigation and seek damages that are unspecified or not quantified. Although the outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company does not believe these legal proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on the its financial condition but could be material to the its results of operations for a quarterly period depending, in part, on its results for that quarter.
(a) Class action complaints relating to restatement
On March 11 and 12, 2020, two alleged shareholders of the Company separately filed two putative class action complaints in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York against the Company and its former Chief Executive Officer (now Executive Chairman) and Chief Financial Officer alleging violations of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder against all defendants, and Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act against the individual defendants. The complaints generally allege that certain of the Company’s prior public statements about revenues and internal controls were incorrect based on the Company’s March 2, 2020, disclosure that the Audit Committee of its Board of Directors was conducting a review of the appropriateness of revenue recognized in connection with certain bulk resin purchases and sales of products through the wholesale channel. The complaints do not quantify a damage request. Defendants have not yet responded to the complaints.
On June 3, 2020, an alleged shareholder filed a Statement of Claim in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, seeking, among other things, an order certifying the action as a class action on behalf of a putative class of shareholders and damages of an unspecified amount. The Statement of Claim names the Company, its former Chief Executive Officer (now Executive Chairman), Chief Financial Officer, former Chief Financial Officer and Chief Commercial Officer, and current and former members of its Board of Directors as defendants and alleges breaches of the Ontario Securities Act, oppression under the Ontario Business Corporations Act and common law misrepresentation. The Statement of Claim generally alleges that certain of the Company’s prior public statements about revenues and internal controls were misrepresentations based on the Company’s March 2, 2020 disclosure that the Audit Committee of its Board of Directors was conducting a review of the appropriateness of revenue recognized in connection with certain bulk resin purchases and sales of products through the wholesale channel, and the Company’s subsequent restatement. The Statement of Claim does not quantify its damage request. The Company and the other named defendants have not yet filed a response to the Statement of Claim.
(b) Regulatory reviews relating to restatement
The Company has been responding to requests for information from various regulatory authorities relating to its previously disclosed restatement of its financial statements for the first three quarters of 2019. The Company is responding to all such requests for information and cooperating with all regulatory authorities. The Company cannot predict the outcome of any such regulatory review or investigation and it is possible that additional investigations or one or more formal proceedings may be commenced against the Company and its current and former officers and directors in connection with these regulatory reviews and investigations.
(c) Litigation relating to marketing, distribution and sale of products
On June 16, 2020, an alleged consumer filed a Statement of Claim on behalf of a class in the Court of Queen’s Bench of Alberta in Alberta, Canada, against the Company and other Canadian cannabis manufacturers and/or distributors. The Statement of Claim alleges claims related to the defendants’ advertised content of cannabinoids in cannabis products for medicinal use on or after June 16, 2010 and cannabis products for adult use on or after October 17, 2018. The Statement of Claim seeks a total of C$ 500 million for breach of contract, compensatory damages, and unjust enrichment or such other amount as may be proven in trial and C$ 5 million in punitive damages against each defendant, including the Company. The Statement of Claim also seeks interest and costs associated with the action. The Company has not responded to the Statement of the Claim.
A number of claims, including purported class actions, have been brought in the U.S. against companies engaged in the U.S. hemp business alleging, among other things, violations of state consumer protection, health and advertising laws. On April 8, 2020, a putative class action complaint was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California against Redwood, alleging violations of California’s Unfair Competition Law, False Advertising Law, Consumers Legal Remedies Act, and breaches of the California Commercial Code for breach of express warranties and implied warranty of merchantability with respect to Redwood’s marketing and sale of U.S. hemp products. The complaint does not quantify a damage request. On April 10, 2020, the class action complaint was dismissed for certain pleading deficiencies and the plaintiff was granted leave until April 24, 2020 to amend the complaint to establish federal subject matter jurisdiction. On April 28, 2020, the action was dismissed without prejudice for failure to prosecute and for failure to comply with a court order. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, the plaintiff has not refiled the complaint.

The Company expects litigation and regulatory proceedings relating to the marketing, distribution and sale of its products to increase.
21. Financial Instruments
The Company’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks, including credit risk, liquidity risk, and market risk (including interest rate risk) and foreign currency risk.
(a) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities, primarily accounts receivable and other receivables, and its investing activities, including cash held with banks and financial institutions, short-term investments, loan receivable, and advances to joint ventures. The Company’s maximum exposure to this risk is equal to the carrying amount of these financial assets, which amounted to $ 1,401,606 as of September 30, 2020 (December 31, 2019 – $ 1,586,978 ).
(i) Accounts receivable
An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date using a provision matrix to measure expected credit losses. The provision rates are based on the days past due for groupings of various customer segments with similar loss patterns. The calculation reflects the probability-weighted outcome, the time value of money and reasonable and supportable information that is available at the reporting date about past events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions. Accounts receivable are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Indicators that there is no reasonable expectation of recovery include, among others, the failure of a debtor to engage in a repayment plan, and a failure to make contractual payments for a period of greater than 120 days past due. For the three months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recorded a current expected credit loss allowance of $ 64 (December 31, 2019 – $ 136 ). The Company has assessed that there is a concentration of credit risk, as 59 % of the Company’s accounts receivable were due from four customers as of September 30, 2020 (December 31, 2019 – 56 % due from two customers) with an established credit history with the Company.
(ii) C ash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, and other receivables
The Company held cash and cash equivalents of $ 1,097,846 as of September 30, 2020 (December 31, 2019 – $ 1,199,693 ). The short-term investments and related interest receivable of $ 202,883 as of September 30, 2020 (December 31, 2019 – $ 306,347 ) represents short-term investments with a maturity of less than a year and accrued interest as of period end. The cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments, including guaranteed investment certificates and bankers’ acceptances, are held with central banks and financial institutions that are highly rated. In addition to interest receivable, other receivables include sales taxes receivable from the government. As such, the Company has assessed an insignificant loss allowance on these financial instruments.
(iii) Advances to joint ventures
The Company has assessed the credit risk of advances to joint ventures based on the financial position of the borrowers, and the regulatory and economic environment of the borrowers. The expected loss rates are based on the historical credit losses experienced. Where appropriate, the historical loss rates are adjusted to reflect current and forward-looking information. The Company has assessed an expected credit loss allowance on these advances as of September 30, 2020 to be $ nil (December 31, 2019 – $ nil ).
(b) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due and arises principally from the Company’s accounts payable and other liabilities. The Company’s policy is to review liquidity resources and ensure that sufficient funds are available to meet financial obligations as they become due. Further, the Company’s management is responsible for ensuring funds exist and are readily accessible to support business opportunities as they arise. The Company’s funding is primarily provided in the form of capital raised through the issuance of common shares and warrants. As of September 30, 2020, the Company had no concentration risk of vendors (December 31, 2019 – 42 % due to three vendors).

(In thousands of U.S. dollars, except for gram and share amounts, unaudited)
(c) Market risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value of, or future cash flows from, the Company’s financial instruments will significantly fluctuate due to changes in market prices. The value of financial instruments can be affected by changes in interest rates, market and economic conditions, and equity and commodity prices. The Company is exposed to market risk in divesting its investments, such that unfavorable market conditions could result in dispositions of investments at less than their carrying values. Further, the revaluation of securities classified as fair value through net income could result in significant write-downs of the Company’s investments, which would have an adverse impact on the Company’s financial position, unless these would flow through other comprehensive income.
The Company manages market risk by having a portfolio of securities from multiple issuers so that the Company is not materially exposed to any one issuer.
(d) Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the value or yield of fixed-income investments may decline if interest rates change. Fluctuations in interest rates may impact the level of income and expense recorded on the cash equivalents and short-term investments, and the market value of all interest-earning assets, other than those which possess a short-term to maturity. A 10% change in the interest rate in effect on September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, would not have a material effect on (i) fair value of the cash equivalents and short-term investments as the majority of the portfolio has a maturity date of three months or less, or (ii) interest income. Management continues to monitor external interest rates and revise the Company’s investment strategy as a result.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company had net interest income of $ 15,266 (September 30, 2019 – $ 20,455 ). During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company’s average variable interest rate fell 0.03 % and 1.44 %, respectively.

(e) Currency rate risk
Currency rate risk is the risk that the fair value of, or future cash flows from, the Company’s financial instruments will significantly fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company is exposed to this risk on advances to joint ventures denominated in A$ and C$. The Company is further exposed to this risk through subsidiaries operating in Israel and the U.S. as the Company’s functional currency is in Canadian dollars. The Company does not currently use foreign exchange contracts to hedge its exposure to currency rate risk. As such, the Company’s financial position and financial results may be adversely affected by the unfavorable fluctuations in currency exchange rates.
As of September 30, 2020, the Company had foreign currency gain (loss) on translation of $( 35,654 ) (September 30, 2019 – $ 9,424 ). A 10% change in the exchange rates for the U.S. dollar would affect the carrying value of net assets by approximately $ 176,449 as of September 30, 2020 (December 31, 2019 –$ 174,902 ).

22. Fair Value Measurement
The Company complies with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements, for its financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at each reporting period, and non-financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at least annually. In general, fair values are determined by:
• Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
• Level 2 inputs utilize data points that are observable such as quoted prices, interest rates and yield curves.
• Level 3 inputs are unobservable data points for the asset or liability, and includes situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability.
The following tables present information about the Company’s assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques the Company utilized to determine such fair value.
