5.	Intangible assets (continued)

Exclusive global agreement ("Meros License Agreement")

In 2017, the Corporation was granted by Meros Polymers Inc. ("Meros") the sole, exclusive, irrevocable license to patented nanotechnologies for use with any drugs to diagnose, or treat, cardiovascular disease, cardiopulmonary disease, and cardiac arrhythmias. Meros is focused on the advancement of nanotechnologies developed at the University of Alberta.

Under the Meros License Agreement, Cardiol agreed to certain milestones and milestone payments, including the following: (i) payment of $100,000 upon enrolling the first patient in a Phase IIB clinical trial designed to investigate the safety and indications of efficacy of one of the licensed technologies; (ii) payment of $500,000 upon enrolling the first patient in a Pivotal Phase III clinical trial designed to investigate the safety and efficacy of one of the licensed technologies; (iii) $1,000,000 upon receiving regulatory approval from the FDA for any therapeutic and/or prophylactic treatment incorporating the licensed technologies. No milestone payments have been earned or made to date. Cardiol also agreed to pay Meros the following royalties:

(a)           5% of worldwide proceeds of net sales of the licensed technologies containing cannabinoids, excluding non-royalty sub-license income in (b) below, that Cardiol receives from human and animal disease indications and derivatives as outlined in the Meros License Agreement;

(b)           7% of any non-royalty sub-license income that Cardiol receives from human and animal disease indications and derivatives for licensed technologies containing cannabinoids as outlined in the Meros License Agreement;

(c)            3.7% of worldwide proceeds of net sales that Cardiol receives from the licensed technology in relation to human and animal cardiovascular and/or cardiopulmonary disease, heart failure, and/or cardiac arrhythmia diagnosis and/or treatments using the drugs, excluding cannabinoids included in (a) above, outlined in the Meros License Agreement; and

(d)           5% of any non-royalty sub-license income that Cardiol receives in relation to any human and animal heart disease, heart failure and/or arrhythmias indications, excluding cannabinoids included in (b) above, as outlined in the Meros License Agreement.

In addition, as part of the consideration under the Meros License Agreement, Cardiol (i) issued to Meros 1,020,000 common shares; and (ii) issued to Meros 1,020,000 special warrants convertible automatically into common shares for no additional consideration upon the first patient being enrolled in a Phase 1 clinical trial using the licensed technologies as described in the Meros License Agreement. As of March 31, 2024, and the date of these financial statements, this condition has not been met.

6.	Lease liability

		Carrying Value
Balance, December 31, 2022		$	72,871
Additions (i)			140,919
Repayments			(55,376	)
Accretion			15,926

Balance, March 31, 2024		$	167,136
Current portion			16,476
Long-term portion		$	150,660

(i) When measuring the lease liability for the property lease that was classified as an operating lease, the Corporation discounted the lease payments using its incremental borrowing rate. The original property lease expires on May 31, 2024, and the lease payments were discounted with a 9% interest rate. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the property lease was extended to October 30, 2028. The lease liability was revalued as of the extension date with lease payments discounted with a 15% interest rate.

7.	Derivative liability

On November 5, 2021, the Corporation issued 8,175,000 warrants as part of a unit financing. Each warrant is exercisable into one common share at the price of USD$3.75 per share for a period of three years from closing. The original estimated fair value of $11,577,426 was assigned to the 8,175,000 warrants issued by using a fair value market technique incorporating the Black-Scholes option pricing model, with the following assumptions: a risk-free interest rate of 1.01%; an expected volatility factor of 81%; an expected dividend yield of 0%; and an expected life of 3 years. The only significant unobservable input is the volatility, which could cause an increase or decrease in fair value. The warrants have been classified as a derivative liability on the statement of financial position and are re-valued at each reporting date, as the warrants were issued in a currency other than the Corporation's functional currency. As at March 31, 2024, the fair value of the derivative liability was $2,046,779 (December 31, 2023 - $238,176), resulting in an increase in the value of the derivative liability for the three months ended March 31, 2024 of $1,808,603 (three months ended March 31, 2023 - decrease in fair value of $74,081).

Significant assumptions used in determining the fair value of the derivative warrant liabilities are as follows:

		Three Months Ended			Three Months Ended
		March 31,			March 31,
		2024			2023
Share price		USD$	1.81			USD$	0.49
Exercise price		USD$	3.75			USD$	3.75
Risk-free interest rate		4.20	%			3.74	%
Expected volatility		99	%			97	%
Expected life in years		0.60				1.60
Expected dividend yield		Nil				Nil

(i) During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Corporation issued 5,000 common shares with a fair value of $3,550.

c) 2022 At-The-Market ("ATM") Program

In June 2022, the Corporation announced it entered into an equity distribution agreement with Canaccord Genuity LLC and Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. (the "Sales Agents") acting as co-agents in connection with the 2022 at-the-market offering program (the "2022 ATM Program"). Under the terms of the 2022 ATM Program, the Corporation could, from time to time, sell common shares having an aggregate value of USD$50,000,000 through the Sales Agents on the Nasdaq Capital Market. As at March 31, 2024, the 2022 ATM Program has expired with no shares having been issued under it.

9.	Share-based payments

The Corporation has adopted an Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan in accordance with the policies of the TSX, which permits the grant or issuance of options, Restricted Share Units ("RSUs"), Performance Share Units ("PSUs") and Deferred Share Units ("DSUs"), as well as other share-based payment arrangements. The maximum number of shares that may be issued upon the exercise or settlement of awards granted under the plan may not exceed 15% of the Corporation's issued and outstanding shares from time to time. The Board of Directors determines the price per common share and the number of common shares which may be allotted to directors, officers, employees, and consultants, and all other terms and conditions of the option, subject to the rules of the TSX.
