1. Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation

SusGlobal Energy Corp. ("SusGlobal") was formed by articles of amalgamation on December 3, 2014, in the Province of Ontario, Canada and its executive office is in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. SusGlobal, a company in the start-up stages and Commandcredit Corp. ("Commandcredit"), an inactive Canadian public company, amalgamated to continue business under the name of SusGlobal Energy Corp.

On May 23, 2017, SusGlobal filed an Application for Authorization to continue in another Jurisdiction with the Ministry of Government Services in Ontario and a certificate of corporate domestication and certificate of incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware under which it changed its jurisdiction of incorporation from Ontario to the State of Delaware (the "Domestication"). In connection with the Domestication each of the currently issued and outstanding common shares were automatically converted on a one-for-one basis into common shares compliant with the laws of the state of Delaware (the "Shares"). As a result of the Domestication, pursuant to Section 388 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the "DGCL"), SusGlobal continued its existence under the DGCL as a corporation incorporated in the State of Delaware. The business, assets and liabilities of SusGlobal and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, as well as its principal location and fiscal year, were the same immediately after the Domestication as they were immediately prior to the Domestication. SusGlobal filed a Registration Statement on Form S-4 to register the Shares and this registration statement was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on May, 23, 2017.

On December 11, 2018, the Company began trading on the Over the Counter QB venture market exchange, under the ticker symbol SNRG.

SusGlobal is a renewable energy company focused on acquiring, developing and monetizing a global portfolio of proprietary technologies in the waste to energy and regenerative products application.

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements of SusGlobal and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, SusGlobal Energy Canada Corp., SusGlobal Energy Canada I Ltd. ("SGECI"), SusGlobal Energy Belleville Ltd. ("SGEBL") and 1684567 Ontario Inc. ("1684567") (together, the "Company"), have been prepared following generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("US GAAP") for interim financial information and the Securities Exchange Commission ("SEC") instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of SEC Regulation S-X, and are expressed in United States Dollars. The Company's functional currency is the Canadian Dollar ("CAD"). In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation have been included.

2. Going Concern

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP, which assumes that the Company will be able to meet its obligations and continue its operations for the next twelve months.

As at September 30, 2019, the Company had a working capital deficit of $7,865,585 (December 31, 2018-$4,830,948), incurred a net loss of $2,211,900 (2018-$3,141,825) for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and had an accumulated deficit of $10,766,212 (December 31, 2018-$8,554,312) and expects to incur further losses in the development of its business.

2. Going Concern, (continued)

On August 28, 2019, Pace Savings & Credit Union Limited (“PACE”) informed the Company via letter that the credit facilities and corporate term loan (the “Debt”) was in default due to the Company’s going concern disclosure in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 and as a result of the Company’s failure to respond to an e-mail request from PACE with respect to the Company’s efforts to arrange for a payout. As a result, PACE was not agreeable to continue with the Debt and had requested that the Company’s indebtedness to PACE be paid in full on or before December 31, 2019. PACE requested that their letter be fully executed by September 5, 2019. On September 3, 2019, PACE informed the Company via letter that the interest rates on the Debt be increased effective September 15, 2019, by 0.50%, and each month thereafter by a further 0.50%. On September 5, 2019, management arranged to meet with PACE to discuss their demands and to discuss the Company’s refinancing efforts. Management expressed their concerns over PACE’s actions in describing the details of the default and in increasing the interest rates as per their written communication. Management indicated to PACE that it was agreeable to a partial paydown of the Debt, as management was in discussions with obtaining a first mortgage over the Company’s property which included their organic composting facilities, from a chartered bank. PACE requested management to continue to update PACE on management’s refinancing plans. Management did not fully execute the September 5, 2019 letter from PACE nor any future letters from PACE. The Company “stopped payments” on the September and October instalments on the Debt with PACE. On September 11, 2019, PACE informed the Company that it failed to execute the new terms by September 5, 2019 and that it failed to make the required September payments on two of the three credit facilities that are part of the Debt, which were due on September 2, 2019. PACE also requested payments for the September monthly instalment payment on each of the two credit facilities, not sufficient fund fees and default and administrative fees totaling $1,978 ($2,620 CAD) and the letter of credit fee in the amount of $1,888 ($2,500 CAD). The letter of credit fee was paid and the letter of credit was extended to December 31, 2019. PACE also requested that the Company provide cash collateral to PACE for the letter of credit, in the amount of $209,035 ($276,831 CAD). PACE requested the consent of management to have PACE appoint a financial advisor to inspect and assess the assets and operations of the Company and requested that the letter be executed and returned to PACE by September 12, 2019. In a letter to PACE, management noted that the company’s financial report due by November 14, 2019, will be provided to PACE subsequent to the filing of the financial report and that no further payments will be made to PACE pending resolution of a paydown schedule to facilitate the principal reduction required by PACE on or before December 31, 2019. In a letter from PACE on September 13, 2019, they agreed to renew the letter of credit to December 31, 2019 but still consider the Debt in default. In a letter from PACE on October 9, 2019, PACE confirmed that the letter of credit was renewed to December 31, 2019 and noted further instalments payments returned stop payment, which were due on September 13, 2019 and October 2 and 4, 2019. PACE reiterated that they did not want to continue to be the Company’s banker and that it did not agree to any partial reduction of the Debt and requested that the Company provide a written repayment plan to have the credit facilities permanently retired. On November 1, 2019, the Company responded to PACE’s demands to repay all Debt by offering to repay two credit facilities totaling $460,413 ($609,738 CAD) on or before December 31, 2019, in return for a forbearance to December 31, 2020 and repayment of the remaining credit facility and corporate term loan no later than December 31, 2020 or upon the completion of the refinancing with the Canadian chartered bank. On November 12, 2019, PACE responded to the Company accepting the repayment of the two noted credit facilities, but, in addition, required that all the Debt be made current, that the Company provide written reports to PACE on its refinancing with the Canadian chartered bank on a monthly basis commencing December 15, 2019, that all remaining debt be repaid by June 30, 2020 and that PACE be permitted to appoint a financial advisor to inspect the assets and operations of the Company. In addition, the Company’s letter of credit with PACE is expected to be renewed to June 30, 2020. All terms are subject to credit approval.

As a result of the PACE default, the advance is also in default (refer to advance, note 12), the obligations under capital lease are also in default (refer to obligations under capital lease, note 14) and the convertible promissory notes are also in default (refer to convertible promissory notes, note 15).

2. Going Concern, (continued)

Further, on September 25, 2019, the Company’s chief executive officer (the “CEO”), resigned as a member of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) and ceased providing his services as CEO. On November 6, 2019, by resolution of the Board, the president of the Company (the “President”), was appointed CEO. 

These factors cast substantial doubt as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, which is dependent upon its ability to obtain the necessary financing to further the development of its business, satisfy its obligations to PACE and its other creditors, whose debt is also in default and upon achieving profitable operations. There is no assurance of funding being available or available on acceptable terms. Realization values may be substantially different from carrying values as shown.

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result if the Company was unable to continue as a going concern.

3. Significant Accounting Policies

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 and their accompanying notes.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements:

On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-02, Leases which is also known as Accounting Standard Codification ("ASC") Topic 842, that requires lessees to recognize for all operating leases a right-of-use asset and a lease obligation in the interim condensed consolidated balance sheets. Expenses are recognized in the interim condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss in a manner similar to previous accounting guidance. Lessor accounting under the new standard is substantially unchanged and is not relevant to the Company. The Company adopted the accounting standard using a prospective transition approach, which applies the provisions of the new guidance at the effective date without adjusting the comparative periods presented, with certain practical expedients available to ease the burden of adoption.

12

3. Significant Accounting Policies, (continued)

The Company elected the following practical expedients upon adoption: not to reassess whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, not to reassess the lease classification for any expired or existing leases, not to reassess initial direct costs for any existing leases, not to separately identify lease and non-lease components (i.e. maintenance costs) except for fleet vehicles and real estate, and not to evaluate historical land easements under the new guidance. Additionally, the Company elected the short-term lease exemption policy, applying the requirements of ASC 842 to long-term leases (leases greater than 1 year) for which it only has one.

Adoption of the new standard resulted in $217,755 ($297,074 CAD) of additional right-of-use lease asset and lease liability as of January 1, 2019. The new standard did not have a significant impact on the interim condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. See note 9, operating lease right-of-use asset and operating lease liability, for additional information.

4. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the financial accounting standards board (the "FASB") or other standard setting bodies and adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date or possibly early adopted, where permitted. Unless otherwise discussed, the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective are not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In August 2018, the FASB issued an update, ASU No. 2018-13, “Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurements to ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Movement. ASU No. 2018-13 modifies the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements by removing, modifying, and/or adding certain disclosures. ASU No. 2018-13 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU No. 2018-13.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, "Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) - Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment". The new standard simplifies the accounting for goodwill impairments by eliminating step 2 from the goodwill quantitative impairment test. Instead, if the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is to be recognized in an amount equal to that excess, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The standard is to be effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU No. 2017-04.

13

4. Recent Accounting Pronouncements, (continued)

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (Topic 326), which replaces the incurred-loss impairment methodology and requires immediate recognition of estimated credit losses expected to occur for most financial assets, including trade receivables. Credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities with unrealized losses will be recognized as allowances for credit losses limited to the amount by which fair value is below amortized cost. ASU 2016-13 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2020 and early adoption is permitted. The Company does not believe the potential impact of the new guidance and related codification improvements will be material to its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

5. Financial Instruments

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, bank indebtedness, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximated their fair values as of September 30, 2019 due to their short-term nature. The carrying value of the advance, long-term debt, obligations under capital lease, convertible promissory notes, mortgage payable and loans payable to related parties approximated their fair values due to their market interest rates.

Interest, Credit and Concentration Risk

In the opinion of management, the Company is exposed to significant interest rate risk on its long-term debt of $3,785,210 ($5,012,859 CAD) (December 31, 2018-$3,727,778; $5,085,645 CAD) and on its convertible promissory notes, should the Company repay all or some of these convertible promissory notes within the stipulated time period.

With regards to credit risk with customers, the customers’ credit evaluation is reviewed by management and account monitoring procedures are used to minimize the risk of loss. The Company believes that no additional credit risk beyond amounts provided for by the allowance for doubtful accounts are inherent in accounts receivable. As at September 30, 2019, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $nil (December 31, 2018-$nil).

As at September 30, 2019, the Company is exposed to concentration risk as it had three customers (December 31, 2018-five customers) representing greater than 5% of total trade receivables and these three customers (December 31, 2018-five customers) represented 73% (2018-90%) of trade receivables. The Company had certain customers whose revenue individually represented 10% or more of the Company's total revenue. These customers accounted for 71% (37%, 21%, and 13%) (September 30, 2018-67%; 31%, 26% and 10%) of total revenue.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company is unable to meet its obligations as they fall due. The Company takes steps to ensure it has sufficient working capital and available sources of financing to meet future cash requirements for capital programs and operations. The Company is in discussions with a Canadian chartered bank to refinance its obligations to PACE and to another creditor. Refer also to going concern, note 2.

The Company actively monitors its liquidity to ensure that its cash flows and working capital are adequate to support its financial obligations and the Company's capital programs. In order to continue operations, the Company will need to raise capital, repay PACE for all or a portion of its credit facilities and complete the refinancing of its real property and organic composting facility. There is no assurance of funding being available or available on acceptable terms. Realization values may be substantially different from carrying values as shown. Refer also to going concern, note 2.

5. Financial Instruments, (continued)

Currency Risk

Although the Company's functional currency is the CAD, the Company realizes a portion of its expenses in USD. Consequently, certain assets and liabilities are exposed to foreign currency fluctuations. As at September 30, 2019, $169,249 (December 31, 2018-$68,393) of the Company's net monetary liabilities were denominated in USD. The Company has not entered into any hedging transactions to reduce the exposure to currency risk.

6. Business Acquisition

Effective May 24, 2019, the Company purchased all the issued and outstanding shares of 1684567. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting. The purchase price paid in the acquisition has been preliminarily allocated to record the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair value. When determining the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, management made significant estimates. The transaction closed on May 28, 2019. The purchase consideration consisted of cash from working capital of $209,952 ($282,308 CAD) and cash from a third-party mortgage obtained in the amount of $1,258,273 ($1,691,910 CAD, net of financing fees of $80,387 ($108,090 CAD)). The total purchase price includes the original offer of $1,314,304 ($1,767,250 CAD) and acquisition costs of $153,922 ($206,968 CAD).

The allocation of the purchase price is as follows:

7. Trade Receivables

On December 17, 2017, the Company filed a motion record in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (the “Court”) against the Business Development Bank of Canada and Astoria Organic Matters Ltd. and Astoria Organic Matters Canada LP (“Astoria”), together, in the amount of $453,060 ($600,000 CAD), in connection with the Company’s purchase of certain assets from the court appointed receiver for Astoria, BDO Canada Limited. (“BDO”). The basis for the claim is for the Company’s costs to process biosolids stored onsite in an amount that was approximately ten times the amount permitted to be stored by conditions set in the Environmental Compliance Approval (the “ECA”) for the Company’s organic composting facility. The Court dismissed each of the Company’s motions, including on November 13, 2019, the Court dismissed the final motion and stayed the private prosecution. A further court date is set for November 4, 2019. As a result of this legal proceeding, BDO, through its legal representative, filed garnishment orders to collect on its outstanding fees, expenses and court costs, with three of the Company’s current customers. The garnishment orders, dated August 16, 2019, totaled $100,046 ($132,494 CAD) each. Since the garnishment orders were delivered to several customers, the payments of the Company’s accounts receivable to satisfy the garnishment orders, exceeded the amount of the garnishment orders. As at September 30, 2019, $114,284 ($151,350 CAD) had been collected, which represented an amount of $14,238 ($18,856 CAD) over and above the garnishment orders. The amounts collected as at September 30, 2019 have been applied against the outstanding accruals for legal fees, expenses and court costs, included in accrued liabilities, on this legal proceeding.

Refer also to subsequent events, note 21(c), for details on garnishment orders issued subsequent to September 30, 2019.

8. Intangible Assets

On May 6, 2015, the Company acquired an exclusive license from Syngas SDN BHD ("Syngas"), a Malaysian company to use Syngas intellectual property within North America for a period of five years for $1 consideration, renewable every five years upon written request. Syngas manufactures equipment that produces liquid transportation fuel from plastic waste material. The Company issued 20,000 common shares of the Company to an introducing party, determined to be valued at $2,000.

On March 14, 2019, the Company incurred fees to register various trademarks in the United States and Canada, in the amount $11,188 ($14,817 CAD).

On September 15, 2017, the Company acquired the environmental compliance approvals on the purchase of certain assets of Astoria from BDO Canada Limited (“BDO") under an asset purchase agreement (the "APA").

Effective May 24, 2019, the Company acquired an additional environmental compliance approval of $75,510 ($100,000 CAD) and a customer list $7,021 ($9,298 CAD), net of accumulated amortization of $685 ($907 CAD), relating to certain municipal contracts (forty-five-month life) on the purchase of the shares of 1684567.

9. Long-lived Assets, net

Included above are the long-lived assets acquired on the business acquisition described under note 6.

10. Operating Lease Right-of-Use Asset and Operating Lease Liability

The Company had one operating lease right-of-use asset and related operating lease liability and had recognized as such, effective January 1, 2019, based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term that expires on March 31, 2034, calculated to be $217,755 ($297,074 CAD). The Company used its estimated secured incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The operating lease right-of-use asset was being amortized on a straight-line basis over the lease term which expires March 31, 2034 and amortization expense is included under office and administration expense in the interim condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The Company does not act as a lessor nor does it have any leases classified as financing leases.

The operating lease right-of-use asset was periodically reviewed for impairment losses. The Company used the long-lived assets impairment guidance in ASC Subtopic 360-10, Property, Plant and Equipment-Overall, to determine whether the operating lease right-of-use asset was impaired, and if so, the amount of the impairment loss to recognize.

The Company monitored for events or changes in circumstances that required a reassessment of its operating lease right-of-use asset. When a reassessment results in the remeasurement of a lease liability, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the corresponding operating lease right-of-use asset.

Effective May 24, 2019, the Company acquired the shares of 1684567, the company that owned the land upon which the right-of-use asset was situated. As a result, the Company is both the tenant and the landlord and as such, no longer recognizes an operating right-of-use asset and related operating lease liability.

For the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019, the Company recorded $nil ($nil CAD) and $6,107 ($8,117 CAD (2018-$nil; $nil CAD and $nil; $nil CAD) respectively, for the amortization of the operating lease right-of-use asset.

For the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019, the Company incurred interest of $2,437 ($3,239 CAD) (2018-$nil; $nil CAD and $nil and $nil CAD) respectively, on the operating lease liability.

Furthermore, the Company granted the CEO 3,000,000 restricted stock units ("RSU"), under a consulting agreement effective January 1, 2017, determined to be valued at $990,000 based on private placement pricing at the time. On each of February 25, 2018 and April 2, 2019, 1,000,000 RSUs were exchanged into 1,000,000 common stock of the Company. The RSUs for the remaining installment which were expected to vest on January 1, 2020, subject to meeting certain performance objectives, have been forfeited by the CEO on his resignation in September 2019.

OVERVIEW

The following organization chart sets forth our wholly-owned subsidiaries:

29

SusGlobal Energy Corp. ("SusGlobal") was formed by articles of amalgamation on December 3, 2014, in the Province of Ontario, Canada and its executive office is in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. SusGlobal, a company in the start-up stages and Commandcredit Corp. ("Commandcredit"), an inactive Canadian public company, amalgamated to continue business under the name of SusGlobal Energy Corp.

On May 23, 2017, SusGlobal filed an Application for Authorization to continue in another Jurisdiction with the Ministry of Government Services in Ontario and a certificate of corporate domestication and certificate of incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware under which it changed its jurisdiction of incorporation from Ontario to the State of Delaware (the "Domestication"). In connection with the Domestication each of the currently issued and outstanding common shares were automatically converted on a one-for-one basis into common shares compliant with the laws of the state of Delaware (the "Shares"). As a result of the Domestication, pursuant to Section 388 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the "DGCL"), SusGlobal continued its existence under the DGCL as a corporation incorporated in the State of Delaware. The business, assets and liabilities of SusGlobal and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, as well as its principal location and fiscal year, were the same immediately after the Domestication as they were immediately prior to the Domestication. SusGlobal filed a Registration Statement on Form S-4 to register the Shares and this registration statement was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on May, 23, 2017.

On December 11, 2018, the Company began trading on the Over the Counter QB venture market exchange, under the ticker symbol SNRG.

When the terms "the Company," "we," "us" or "our" are used in this document, those terms refer to SusGlobal Energy Corp., and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, SusGlobal Energy Canada Corp., SusGlobal Energy Canada I Ltd. and SusGlobal Energy Belleville Ltd.

SusGlobal is a renewable energy company focused on acquiring, developing and monetizing a global portfolio of proprietary technologies in the waste to energy and regenerative products application.

30

With the growing amount of organic wastes being produced by society as a whole, a solution for sustainable global management of these wastes must be achieved. SusGlobal through its proprietary technology and processes is equipped and confident to deliver this objective. Management believes renewable energy is the energy of the future. Sources of this type of energy are more evenly distributed over the earth's surface than finite energy sources, making it an attractive alternative to petroleum-based energy. Biomass, one of the renewable resources, is derived from organic material such as forestry, food, plant and animal residuals. SusGlobal can therefore help you turn what many consider waste into precious energy and regenerative products. The portfolio will be comprised of four distinct types of technologies: (a) Process Source Separated Organics ("SSO") in anaerobic digesters to divert from landfills and recover biogas. This biogas can be converted to gaseous fuel for industrial processes, electricity to the grid or cleaned for compressed renewable gas. (b) Increasing the capacity of existing infrastructure (anaerobic digesters) to allow processing of SSO to increase biogas yield. (c) Utilize recycled plastics to produce liquid fuels and (d) process digestate to produce a pathogen free organic liquid fertilizer.

The convertibility of organic material into valuable end products such as biogas, liquid biofuels, organic fertilizers and compost shows the utility of renewable energy. These products can be converted into electricity, fuels and marketed to agricultural operations that are looking for an increase in crop yields, soil amendment and environmentally-sound practices. This practice also diverts these materials from landfills and reduces greenhouse gas emissions that result from landfilling organic wastes. The Company can provide peace of mind that the full lifecycle of organic material is achieved, global benefits are realized and stewardship for total sustainability is upheld. It is management's objective to grow SusGlobal into a significant sustainable waste to energy and regenerative products provider, as Leaders in The Circular Economy™.

We believe the project and services offered can benefit both the public and private markets. The following includes some of our work managing organic waste streams: Anaerobic Digestion, Dry Digestion, Biogas Production, Wastewater Treatment, In-Vessel Composting, SSO Treatment, Biosolids Heat Treatment and Composting.

The Company can provide a full range of services for handling organic residuals in a period where innovation and sustainability are paramount. From start to finish we offer in-depth knowledge, a wealth of experience and cutting-edge technology for handling organic waste.

The primary focus of the services SusGlobal provides includes identifying idle or underutilized anaerobic digesters and integrating our technologies with capital investment to optimizing the operation of the existing digesters to reach their full capacity for processing SSO. Our processes not only divert significant organic waste from landfills, but also result in methane avoidance, with significant Greenhouse Gas ("GHG") reductions from waste disposal. The processes also produce renewable energy through the conversion of wastewater biosolids and organic wastes in the same equipment (co-digestion) and valuable end products such as biogas, electricity and organic fertilizer, considered Class AA organic fertilizer.

Currently, the primary customers are municipalities in both rural and urban centers throughout southern and central Ontario, Canada. Where necessary, to be in compliance with provincial and local environmental laws and regulations, SusGlobal submits applications to the respective authorities for approval prior to any necessary engineering being carried out.

On May 14, 2015, the Ontario Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks (the "MOECP") formerly the Ontario Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change, announced formal targets to be met to satisfy a commitment necessary to join the Western Climate Initiative (the "WCI") along with Quebec and California, who are in the WCI with Cap and Trade commitments since 2014. The Ontario emission targets are very ambitious, with GHG emission reductions of 15% by 2020, 37% by 2030 and 80% by 2050, all from a 1990 baseline. Ontario achieved a 6% reduction in GHG emissions from 1990 levels in 2014, mainly by closing all coal-fired power plants. The targets announced will require a focused program to reduce GHG emissions.

The Company's activities all contribute to GHG reductions, so we will be a key part of Ontario's initiative. The Company has also contacted counterparties in Quebec and California to explore opportunities for relevant projects. SusGlobal is committed to making all its commercial activities carbon neutral.

Syngas produces equipment that uses an innovative process to produce liquid transportation fuel from plastic waste material. The Company issued 20,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company to an introducing party, determined to be valued at $2,000. The Syngas License Agreement is being amortized on a straight-line basis, over a period of 10 years. There are no other obligations under the Syngas License Agreement.

35

The Company and Syngas intend to collaborate and cooperate with a view to achieving economic and financial success for their respective businesses. The Company will continue to pursue other similar intellectual property around the world as we combine this and other technologies in innovative configurations to monetize the portfolio of proprietary technologies and processes to deliver value to our customers and shareholders.

Operations

The Company owns the Environmental Compliance Approvals (the "ECAs") issued by the MOECP, from the Province of Ontario, in place to accept up to 70,000 MT of waste annually from the provinces of Ontario and Quebec and from New York state, and to operate a waste transfer station with the capacity to process up to 50,000 MT of waste annually. Once built, the location of the waste transfer station will be alongside the organic composting facility which is currently in operation near Belleville, Ontario, Canada.

Waste Transfer Station: Access to the waste transfer stations is critical to haulers who collect waste in areas not in close proximity to disposal facilities where such disposal continues to be permitted. Tipping fees charged to third parties at waste transfer stations are usually based on the type and volume or weight of the waste deposited at the waste transfer station, the distance to the disposal site, market rates for disposal costs and other general market factors.

Organic Composting Facility. The Company's organic composting facility, located near Belleville, Ontario Canada, has ECAs in place to accept up to 70,000 MT of waste annually and is currently in operation. Certain assets of the organic composting facility, including the ECAs for the waste transfer station, were acquired by the Company on September 15, 2017, from the court appointed receiver, BDO, for Astoria, under the APA. The Company charges tipping fees for the waste accepted at the organic composting facility based on arrangements in place with the customers and the type of waste accepted. Typical waste accepted includes, leaf and yard, biosolids, food, liquid, paper sludge and source separated organics. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019, tipping fees ranged from $19 ($25 CAD) to $64 ($85 CAD) per MT.

Compost Sales. The Company also sells organic compost (screened and unscreened) to local customers. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019, the average selling price of the compost per MT was approximately $15 ($20 CAD).

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of September 30, 2019, the Company had a bank overdraft balance of $7,350 (December 31, 2018-$42,711) and current debt obligations and other current liabilities in the amount of $8,061,423 (December 31, 2018-$5,045,362). As at September 30, 2019, the Company had a working capital deficit of $7,865,585 (December 31, 2018-$4,830,948). The Company does not currently have sufficient funds to satisfy the current debt obligations.

On August 28, 2019, the Company’s current creditor, PACE, demanded repayment of all the credit facilities and corporate term loan on or before December 31, 2019. Management has been in discussions with a Canadian chartered bank to obtain the necessary funding to satisfy PACE’s demands. In addition, on November 1, 2019, the Company communicated with PACE and offered to paydown two of the credit facilities, totaling $460,413 ($609,738 CAD) on or before December 31, 2019 and has requested a forbearance to December 31, 2020, in return for the payment of the remaining credit facility and the corporate term loan no later than December 31, 2020, or upon obtaining the financing from the Canadian chartered bank. On November 12, 2019, PACE responded to the Company and accepted the payment of the two noted credit facilities, but, in addition,  that all the Debt be made current, that the Company provide written reports to PACE on its refinancing with the Canadian chartered bank on a monthly basis commencing December 15, 2019, that all remaining debt be repaid by June 30, 2020 and that PACE be permitted to appoint a financial advisor to inspect the assets and operations of the Company. In addition, the Company’s letter of credit with PACE is expected to be renewed to June 30, 2020. All terms are subject to credit approval.

The Company's total assets at September 30, 2019 were $5,191,623 (December 31, 2018-$3,710,713) and total current liabilities were $8,061,423 (December 31, 2018-$5,045,362). Significant losses from operations have been incurred since inception and there is an accumulated deficit of $10,766,212 as at September 30, 2019 (December 31, 2018 -$8,554,312). Continuation as a going concern is dependent upon generating significant new revenue and generating external capital and securing debt to satisfy its creditor’s demands and to achieve profitable operations while maintaining current fixed expense levels.

To pay current liabilities and to fund any future operations, the Company requires significant new funds, which the Company may not be able to obtain. In addition to the funds required to liquidate the $8,061,423 in current debt obligations and other current liabilities, the Company estimates that approximately $3,000,000 must be raised to fund capital requirements and general corporate expenses for the next 12 months.

CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - FOR THE THREE-MONTH PERIOD ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2019 COMPARED TO THE THREE-MONTH PERIOD ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2018

During the three-month period ended September 30, 2019, the Company generated $390,723 of revenue from its organic composting facility compared to $279,394 in the three-month period ended September 30, 2018. The Company's cost of sales in connection with this revenue totaled $235,723 in the three-month period ended September 30, 2019 compared to $246,369 in the three-month period ended September 30, 2018. These costs consisted of depreciation, direct wages and benefits, equipment rental, delivery, fuel, repairs and maintenance, utilities and outside contractors. The significant increase in revenue in the current period was primarily due to new business. The current period's revenue also includes garbage collection and landfill maintenance revenue of $53,896, resulting from the business acquisition of 1684567, effective May 24, 2019.

The net loss for the three-month period ended September 30, 2019 was $428,405, significantly lower than the net loss of $831,273 in the three-month period ended September 30, 2018, primarily due to the reduction in management compensation relating to stock-based compensation and professional fees offset by increases in interest expense, office and administration and amortization of financing fees.

43

Operating expenses were reduced by $280,893, from $864,298 in the three-month period ended September 30, 2018 to $583,405 in the three-month period ended September 30, 2019, explained further below.

Management compensation related to stock-based compensation reduced by $247,500, from $332,500 in the three-month period ended September 30, 2018 to $85,000 in the three-month period ended September 30, 2019. The reduction was due to the adjustment to the vesting of the former CEO’s 2019 RSUs, as a result of his ceasing to provide CEO services in September 2019. On September 25, 2019, the former CEO resigned from the Board.

Marketing costs increased by $5,785 during the three-month period ended September 30, 2019, compared to $nil in the three-month period ended September 30, 2018, as no marketing plan was in place in the prior year’s comparable quarter.

Professional fees for the three-month period ended September 30, 2019 in the amount of $63,357, were significantly lower than the professional fees in the three-month period ended September 30, 2018, primarily as a result of the absence of legal services on the Company's claim against a third party represented by BDO.

Interest expense increased by $62,013 from $90,939 in the three-month period ended September 30, 2018 to $152,952 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2019, primarily as a result of the interest expense on the advance in the amount of $6,773, on the convertible promissory notes in the amount of $29,516 and the new mortgage interest of $34,162 on the business acquisition, offset by reductions in interest expense on the various term loans and capital leases.

Office and administration increased by $23,724, from $39,182 in the three-month period ended September 30, 2018 to $62,906 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2019, as a result of an increase in various expenses including laboratory testing, automotive expenses, letter of credit renewal and various other administrative costs.

Rent and occupancy for the three-month period ended September 30, 2019 reduced by $21,901 compared to the three-month period ended September 30, 2018, primarily due to the elimination of any rental costs relating to the Company’s composting premises, as it is now also the landlord.

Insurance increased by $3,336 from $14,172 in the three-month period ended September 30, 2018 to $17,508 in the three-month period ended September 30, 2019, primarily due to an increase in premiums for the Company’s composting operations.

Filing fees for the three-month period ended September 30, 2019 in the amount of $2,546 were comparable to those for the three-month period ended September 30, 2018 in the amount of $1,479.

The amortization of financing costs incurred during the three-month period ended September 30, 2019, resulted from the financing costs incurred on the SPAs in the amount of $68,406 and the amortization of the financing fees in connection with the mortgage payable on the business acquisition of $20,550. The financing costs are being amortized over the terms of the SPAs and the mortgage payable which are both one year in duration. There were no comparable amounts in the prior year's period.

A portion of the directors' compensation for 2019 is based on an accrual of fees for services payable in shares, determined using the trading price at the end of each reporting period. Since the trading price has dropped during the year, the resulting expense is a credit of $15,400 in the three-month period ended September 30, 2019 offset by the directors’ compensation for the audit committee chairman’s fees. The directors’ compensation expense for the audit committee chairman’s fees in the three-month period ended September 30, 2019 totaled $752 compared to $766 in the three-month period ended September 30, 2018.

44

Repairs and maintenance expenses increased by $2,748 in the three-month period ended September 30, 2019 compared to the three-month period ended September 30, 2018, as a result of additional repairs and maintenance at the Company’s organic composting facility.

CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - FOR THE NINE-MONTH PERIOD ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2019 COMPARED TO THE NINE-MONTH PERIOD ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2018

During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019, the Company generated $1,025,695 of revenue from its organic composting facility compared to $639,538 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018. The Company's cost of sales in connection with this revenue totaled $804,803 in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019 compared to $570,786 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018. These costs consisted of depreciation, direct wages and benefits, equipment rental, delivery, fuel, repairs and maintenance, utilities and outside contractors. The significant increase in both the revenue and the cost of sales in the current period was primarily due to new business, including the cost of processing the waste from this new business. The current period's revenue also includes garbage collection and landfill maintenance revenue of $77,048, resulting from the business acquisition of 1684567, effective May 24, 2019.

45

The net loss for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019 was $2,211,900, significantly lower than the net loss of $3,141,825 in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018, explained further below.

Operating expenses were reduced by $777,785, from $3,210,577 in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018 to $2,432,792 in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019, explained further below.

Management compensation related to stock-based compensation reduced by $1,247,500, from $1,997,500 in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018 to $750,000 in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019. The reduction was due to the adjustment to the vesting of the former CEO’s 2019 RSUs, as a result of his ceasing to provide CEO services in September 2019. On September 25, 2019, the former CEO resigned from the Board. In addition, in the prior year’s period, the Company recorded $1,000,000 as stock-based compensation for the President on the exchange of his 2017 RSUs into common stock of the Company. Further, the reduction in the management compensation in the form of fees is primarily the result of the absence of fees incurred for the position held by the Vice President of Corporate Development, who's services ended on March 31, 2018.

During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019, the Company incurred marketing fees for its marketing campaign in the amount of $252,462, with no comparable amount in the prior year's period.

Professional fees decreased by $112,959, from $383,287 in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018 to $270,328 in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019, primarily due to a decrease in legal services on the Company's claim against a third party represented by BDO, including the costs awarded BDO on the Court's dismissal of the Company's motions and the Company's Canadian counsel's fees offset by the issuance of shares for legal services provided by the Company's legal counsel determined to be valued at $53,000 based on the closing trading price on the day prior to issuance and other legal and property appraisal expenses incurred.

Interest expense increased by $140,424 from $267,958 in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018 to $408,382 in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019, primarily as a result of the interest expense on the advance in the amount of $6,773, on the convertible promissory notes in the amount of $96,747 and the interest on the new mortgage of $47,845 on the business acquisition, offset by reductions in interest expense on the various term loans and capital leases.

Office and administration increased by $74,083, from $102,767 in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018 to $176,850 in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019, as a result of an increase in various expenses including laboratory testing, automotive expenses, letter of credit renewal and various other administrative costs, offset by a reduction in foreign exchange gains.

Rent and occupancy cost decreased by $31,757 from $123,842 in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018 to $92,085 in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019, primarily due to the presentation of the operating lease liability and related interest expense for a portion of the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019 to the date the Company also became the landlord of the organic composting facility, as opposed to rent expense of a similar amount and the absence of the apartment and trailer rentals incurred during the prior year's period.

Insurance expense increased by $761 from $44,757 in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018 to $45,518 in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019, primarily due to overall higher premiums and coverages.

Filing fees increased by $20,125, from $11,518 in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018 compared to $31,643 in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019, primarily as a result of fees for an investor communications service and various other communications and mailings for the annual general meeting totaling $21,286.

46

The amortization of financing costs incurred during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019, resulted from the financing costs incurred on the new SPAs in the amount of $125,978 and the amortization of the financing fees in the amount of $28,743 in connection with the mortgage payable on the business acquisition. The financing costs are being amortized over the terms of the SPAs and the mortgage payable which are one year in duration. There were no comparable amounts in the prior year’s period.

A portion of the directors' compensation for 2019 is based on an accrual of fees for services payable in shares, determined using the trading price at the end of each reporting period. Since the trading price has dropped during the year, the resulting expense is a credit of $4,205 in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019 offset by the directors’ compensation for the audit committee chairman’s fees. The directors’ compensation expense for the audit committee chairman’s fees in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019 totaled $2,257 compared to $2,331 in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018.

Repairs and maintenance expenses were lower by $11,267 in the current nine-month period ended September 30, 2019 compared to the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018, due to lower overall expenses incurred at the Company's organic composting facility and the Toronto office location.

As at September 30, 2019, the Company had a working capital deficit of $7,865,585 (December 31, 2018-$4,830,948), incurred a net loss of $2,211,900 (2018-$483,617) for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019 and had an accumulated deficit of $10,766,212 (December 31, 2018-$8,554,312) and expects to incur further losses in the development of its business.

On August 28, 2019, Pace Savings & Credit Union Limited (“PACE”) informed the Company via letter that the credit facilities and corporate term loan (the “Debt”) was in default due to the Company’s going concern disclosure in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 and as a result of the Company’s failure to respond to an e-mail request from PACE with respect to the Company’s efforts to arrange for a payout. As a result, PACE was not agreeable to continue with the Debt and had requested that the Company’s indebtedness to PACE be paid in full on or before December 31, 2019. PACE requested that their letter be fully executed by September 5, 2019. On September 3, 2019, PACE informed the Company via letter that the interest rates on the Debt be increased effective September 15, 2019, by 0.50%, and each month thereafter by a further 0.50%. On September 5, 2019, management arranged to meet with PACE to discuss their demands and to discuss the Company’s refinancing efforts. Management expressed their concerns over PACE’s actions in describing the details of the default and in increasing the interest rates as per their written communication. Management indicated to PACE that it was agreeable to a partial paydown of the Debt, as management was in discussions with obtaining a first mortgage over the Company’s property which included their organic composting facilities, from a chartered bank. PACE requested management to continue to update PACE on management’s refinancing plans. Management did not fully execute the September 5, 2019 letter from PACE nor any future letters from PACE. The Company “stopped payments” on the September and October instalments on the Debt with PACE. On September 11, 2019, PACE informed the Company that it failed to execute the new terms by September 5, 2019 and that it failed to make the required September payments on two of the three credit facilities that are part of the Debt, which were due on September 2, 2019. PACE also requested payments for the September monthly instalment payment on each of the two credit facilities, not sufficient fund fees and default and administrative fees totaling $1,978 ($2,620 CAD) and the letter of credit fee in the amount of $1,888 ($2,500). The letter of credit fee was paid and the letter of credit was extended to December 31, 2019. PACE also requested that the Company provide cash collateral to PACE for the letter of credit, in the amount of $209,035 ($276,831). PACE requested the consent of management to have PACE appoint a financial advisor to inspect and assess the assets and operations of the Company and requested that the letter be executed and returned to PACE by September 12, 2019. In a letter to PACE, management noted that the company’s financial report due by November 14, 2019, will be provided to PACE subsequent to the filing of the financial report and that no further payments will be made to PACE pending resolution of a paydown schedule to facilitate the principal reduction required by PACE on or before December 31, 2019. In a letter from PACE on September 13, 2019, they agreed to renew the letter of credit to December 31, 2019 but still consider the Debt in default. In a letter from PACE on October 9, 2019, PACE confirmed that the letter of credit was renewed to December 31, 2019 and noted further instalments payments returned stop payment, which were due on September 13, 2019 and October 2 and 4, 2019. PACE reiterated that they did not want to continue to be the Company’s banker and that it did not agree to any partial reduction of the Debt and requested that the Company provide a written repayment plan to have the credit facilities permanently retired. On November 1, 2019, the Company responded to PACE’s demands for the repayment of all Debt by offering to pay two credit facilities totaling $460,413 ($609,738 CAD) on or before December 31, 2019, in return for a forbearance to December 31, 2020 and repayment of the remaining credit facility and corporate term loan no later than December 31, 2020 or upon the completion of the refinancing with the Canadian chartered bank. On November 12, 2019, PACE responded to the Company accepting the repayment of the two noted credit facilities, but, in addition, demanded that all the Debt be made current, that the Company provide written reports to PACE on its refinancing with the Canadian chartered bank on a monthly basis commencing December 15, 2019, that all remaining debt be repaid by June 30, 2020 and that PACE be permitted to appoint a financial advisor to inspect the assets and operations of the Company. In addition, the Company’s letter of credit with PACE is expected to be renewed to June 30, 2020. All terms are subject to credit approval.

47

As a result of the PACE default, the advance, the obligations under capital lease and the convertible promissory notes are also in default.

Further, on September 25, 2019, the Company’s chief executive officer (the “CEO”), resigned as a member of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) and ceased providing his services as CEO. On November 6, 2019, by resolution of the Board, the president of the Company (the “President”), was appointed CEO.

These factors cast substantial doubt as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, which is dependent upon its ability to obtain the necessary financing to further the development of its business, satisfy its obligations to PACE and its other creditors and upon achieving profitable operations. There is no assurance of funding being available or available on acceptable terms. Realization values may be substantially different from carrying values as shown.

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result if the Company was unable to continue as a going concern.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

Use of estimates

The preparation of the Company's consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates are based on management's best knowledge of current events and actions the Company may undertake in the future. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. Areas involving significant estimates and assumptions include: the allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory valuation, useful lives of long-lived and intangible assets, valuation of asset acquisition, deferred income tax assets and related valuation allowance, accruals, environmental remediation costs and stock-based compensation. Actual results could differ from these estimates. These estimates are reviewed periodically and as adjustments become necessary, they are reported in earnings in the period in which they become available.

Stock-based compensation

From time to time the Company may grant options and/or warrants to management, directors, employees and consultants. The Company recognizes compensation expense at fair value. Under this method, the fair value of each warrant is estimated on the date of the grant and amortized over the vesting period, with the resulting amortization credited to paid in capital. The fair value of each grant is determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Consideration paid upon exercise of stock options and/or warrants is recorded in equity as share capital.

Long-Lived Asset Impairments

We assess our long-lived assets for impairment as required under the applicable accounting standards. If necessary, impairments are recorded in (income) expense from divestitures, asset impairments and unusual items, net in our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.

Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets - At least annually, and more frequently if warranted, we assess the indefinite-lived intangible assets, including the goodwill of our reporting units for impairment using Level 3 inputs.

RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-02, Leases which is also known as Accounting Standard Codification ("ASC") Topic 842, that requires lessees to recognize for all operating leases a right-of-use asset and a lease obligation in the interim condensed consolidated balance sheets. Expenses are recognized in the interim condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss in a manner similar to previous accounting guidance. Lessor accounting under the new standard is substantially unchanged and is not relevant to the Company. The Company adopted the accounting standard using a prospective transition approach, which applies the provisions of the new guidance at the effective date without adjusting the comparative periods presented, with certain practical expedients available to ease the burden of adoption.

The Company elected the following practical expedients upon adoption: not to reassess whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, not to reassess the lease classification for any expired or existing leases, not to reassess initial direct costs for any existing leases, not to separately identify lease and non-lease components (i.e. maintenance costs) except for fleet vehicles and real estate, and not to evaluate historical land easements under the new guidance. Additionally, the Company elected the short-term lease exemption policy, applying the requirements of ASC 842 to long-term leases (leases greater than 1 year) for which it only has one.

49

Adoption of the new standard resulted in $217,755 ($297,074 CAD) of additional right-of-use lease asset and lease liability as of January 1, 2019. The new standard did not have a significant impact on the interim condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. See note 9, operating lease right-of-use asset and operating lease liability, for additional information.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by FASB or other standard setting bodies and adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date or possibly early adopted, where permitted. Unless otherwise discussed, the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In August 2018, the FASB issued an update, ASU No. 2018-13, “Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurements to ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Movement. ASU No. 2018-13 modifies the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements by removing, modifying, and/or adding certain disclosures. ASU No. 2018-13 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU No. 2018-13.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, "Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) - Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment". The new standard simplifies the accounting for goodwill impairments by eliminating step 2 from the goodwill quantitative impairment test. Instead, if the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is to be recognized in an amount equal to that excess, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The standard is to be effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU No. 2017-04.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (Topic 326), which replaces the incurred-loss impairment methodology and requires immediate recognition of estimated credit losses expected to occur for most financial assets, including trade receivables. Credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities with unrealized losses will be recognized as allowances for credit losses limited to the amount by which fair value is below amortized cost. ASU 2016-13 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2020 and early adoption is permitted. The Company does not believe the potential impact of the new guidance and related codification improvements will be material to its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
