2 | BASIS OF PRESENTATION |
Statement of Compliance
The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and its interpretations, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). These condensed consolidated interim financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34, Interim Financial Reporting. They do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statement disclosures, and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016, which were prepared in accordance with IFRS.
Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis. The accounting policies have been applied consistently in all material respects. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared by applying the same accounting policies, assessments of estimates and judgments, and methods of computation as compared with the most recent annual consolidated financial statements.
Basis of Measurement
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements (“interim financial statements”) have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for the following material items in the condensed consolidated interim statements of financial position (“interim statements of financial position”) and in the condensed consolidated interim statements of income (loss) and comprehensive loss (“interim statements of income”):
• | Available-for-sale financial assets are measured at fair value; |
• | Biological assets are measured at fair value less costs to sell; and |
• | Land is valued at fair market value. |

(Unaudited)
Functional and Presentation Currency
These interim financial statements are presented in United States dollars (“U.S. dollars”), which is the Company’s primary functional currency. VFCE’s functional currency is Canadian dollars and conversion to U.S. dollars is performed in accordance with IAS 21, The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates. All financial information presented in U.S. dollars has been rounded to the nearest thousands, except per share amounts.
3 | CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
The Company has adopted the following new and revised standards and changes in accounting policies, along with any consequential amendments as at January 1, 2016. These changes were made in accordance with the applicable transitional provisions.
• | The IASB issued Disclosure Initiative, Amendments to IAS 1 in December 2014. The Amendments clarify materiality and disclosures within the financial statements and footnotes. These Amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on January 2016, and did not have a material impact on the Company’s interim financial statements. |
• | The IASB issued Amendments to IAS 16, Property, Plant and Equipment, and IAS 41, Agriculture, in June 2014 with the publication of Agriculture: Bearer Plants. The amendments change the financial reporting for bearer plants, which are used solely to grow produce, into the scope of IAS 16 so that they are accounted for in the same way as property, plant, and equipment. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2016. The Company adopted these amendments effective January 1, 2016, and management has determined that these Amendments did not have an impact to the Company. |
• | IAS 16, Property, Plant and Equipment, allows for a policy choice for subsequent measurement of property, plant, and equipment to be based on historical cost or fair value. The Company has historically carried its land at historical cost. For year ended December 31, 2016, the Company changed its policy so that land is initially measured at historical cost but subsequently measured at fair value. Management concluded that given significant changes in the fair market value of the Company’s land assets, the revaluation method of accounting for land used in production is a more appropriate accounting policy than historical cost. IAS 8, Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors, allows for prospective application of this policy change and therefore the policy change has been applied to year ended December 31, 2016 only. |
Accounting Standards Issued and Not Applied
IFRS 9, Financial Instruments, addresses classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities, and replaces the multiple category and measurement models in IAS 39, Financial Instruments-Recognition and Measurement. The required adoption date for IFRS 9 has been extended to annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted. IFRS 9 is not expected to have a material impact on amounts recorded in the interim financial statements of the Company.
IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, replaces IAS 18, Revenue, and IAS 11, Construction Contracts, and the related Interpretations on revenue recognition. IFRS 15, issued in May 2014, establishes the requirements for recognizing revenue that apply to all contracts with customers, except for contracts that are within the scope of the Standards on leases, insurance contracts, and financial instruments. IFRS 15 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted. Management is currently evaluating the impact of IFRS 15.

(In thousands of United States dollars, except per share amounts and unless otherwise noted)
(Unaudited)
IFRS 16, Leases, issued in January 2016, replaces IAS 17, Leases, and related Interpretations. IFRS 16 establishes the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract, ie the customer (lessee) and the supplier (lessor). IFRS 16 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted only if the company also applies IFRS 15. Management is currently assessing the impact on the Company’s consolidated interim financial statements along with the timing of adoption of IFRS 16. Management expects that IFRS 16 will result in the following: a) an increase in assets and liabilities as fewer leases will be expensed as payments are made; b) an increase in depreciation expenses; and c) an increase in cash flow from operating activities as these lease payments will be recorded as financing outflows in the cash flow statements.
Further details of new accounting standards and potential impact on the Company can be found in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Depreciation related to the greenhouse facilities and equipment is expensed in cost of sales. Land is the only item of property, plant and equipment that is stated at fair values. During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company changed its policy from cost method to revalue land used in production at fair market value every three years using an external revaluation method performed by an independent appraiser. As at December 31, 2016, land was determined to have increased in value from $4.7 million historical cost to $11.9 million fair market value, resulting in a land revaluation gain of $7.2 million. The gain of $7.2 million had a tax impact to deferred taxes of $1.1 million, resulting in net revaluation surplus in shareholders’ equity on the interim statements of financial position of $6.1 million.

8 | FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS |
The following table summarizes the carrying and fair value of the Company’s financial instruments:
March 31, 2017 | December 31, 2016 | |||||||
Cash and cash equivalents | $ | 3,869 | $ | 5,373 | ||||
Trade receivables | $ | 9,722 | $ | 10,187 | ||||
Other receivables | $ | 986 | $ | 1,047 | ||||
Other financial liabilities | $ | 64,084 | $ | 62,591 |
Interest income, expense and gains/losses from loans, receivables and other financial liabilities are recognized in the interim statements of income. The following table summarizes interest income and expense for the three months ended March 31:
2017 | 2016 | |||||||
Interest income earned on cash/cash equivalents | $ | nil | $ | nil | ||||
Interest expense from other financial liabilities | $ | 632 | $ | 557 |
The Company classifies financial assets and liabilities that are recognized on the interim statements of financial position at fair value in a hierarchy that is based on significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The levels in the hierarchy are:
• | Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities |
• | Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices) |
• | Level 3 – Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (i.e., unobservable inputs). |
Management of financial risks
The Company, through its financial assets and liabilities, is exposed to various risks. The following provides a measurement of some of these risks as at March 31, 2017. The Company uses financial instruments only for risk management purposes, not for generating trading profits.
i) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that the Company will incur a loss due to the failure by its customers or other parties to meet their contractual obligations. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and other receivables. The Company limits its exposure to credit risk by placing its cash and cash equivalents with high credit quality financial institutions.
The Company’s trade receivables had three customers that each represented more than 10% of the balance of trade receivables, representing 14.5%, 12.4%, and 10.6% of the balance of trade receivables as at March 31, 2017 (2016 – two customers, 19.3% and 12.1%). The Company believes that its trade receivables risk is limited due to the high credit quality of its customers and the protection afforded to the Company by the Perishable Agricultural Commodities Act (the “PACA”) for its sales in the United States, which represent approximately 85% of the Company’s annual sales. The PACA protection gives a claim filed under the PACA first lien on all PACA assets (which include cash and trade receivables). The PACA fosters trading practices in the marketing of fresh and frozen fruits and vegetables in interstate and foreign commerce. It prohibits unfair and fraudulent practices and provides a means of enforcing contracts. Historical write-offs have represented less than one-half of one percent of sales. The maximum amount of credit risk exposure is limited to the carrying amount of the balances on the interim financial statements.

(Unaudited)
Trade receivables for each customer were evaluated for collectability and an allowance for doubtful accounts has been estimated. At March 31, 2017, the allowance for doubtful accounts balance was $50 (December 31, 2016 – $50). The Company has not recorded a bad debt expense during the three months ended March 31, 2017 (2016 – $nil).
At March 31, 2017, 94.8% (December 31, 2016 – 87.4%) of trade receivables were outstanding less than 30 days, 3.6% (December 31, 2016 – 9.5%) were outstanding between 30 and 90 days and the remaining 1.6% (December 31, 2016 – 3.1%) were outstanding for more than 90 days. Trade receivables are considered past due based on the contract terms agreed to with a customer. Aged receivables that are past due are not considered impaired unless customer specific information indicates otherwise.
ii) Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on its long-term debt, for which the interest rates charged fluctuate based on the 90-day LIBOR rate. If interest rates had been 50 basis points higher, the net loss before taxes during the three months ended March 31, 2017 would have been higher by $54. This represents $54 in increased interest expense (2016 – $58).
iii) Foreign exchange risk
At March 31, 2017, the Canadian/U.S. foreign exchange rate was CA$1.00 = US$0.7502 (December 31, 2016 – US$0.7437). Assuming that all other variables remain constant, an increase of $0.10 in the Canadian dollar would have the following impact on the ending balances of certain interim statements of financial position items at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 with the net foreign exchange gain or loss directly impacting net income for the period.

(Unaudited)
It is the Company’s intention to meet these obligations through the collection of current accounts receivable and cash from sales. If the current resources and cash generated from operations are insufficient to satisfy its obligations, the Company may seek to issue additional equity or to arrange debt or other financing. In addition, the Company has an operating loan of up to CA$13,000, less an outstanding balance of $5,000 and outstanding letters of credit totaling $320 and CA$38.
v) Fair values
The carrying amount of short-term financial instruments, less provisions for impairment if applicable, is consistent with the fair value of such instruments. The Company’s debt bears a variable interest rate tied to market rates and therefore its carrying value approximates its fair value.
