2 | BASIS OF PRESENTATION |
Statement of Compliance
The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements (“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”), as applicable to interim financial statements, including 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, 2018, which were prepared in accordance with IFRS.
Basis of Presentation
The interim financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis. The accounting policies have been applied consistently in all material respects. These 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 with the exception of IFRS 16,Leases as described in Note 3.
Basis of Measurement
The interim financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for the following material items in the condensed consolidated interim statement of financial position (“interim statement of financial position”):
• | biological assets are measured at fair value less costs to sell; |
• | land is valued at fair market value; and |
• | marketable equity securities are measured at fair value through profit and loss. |

3 | CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
These changes were made in accordance with the applicable transitional provisions.
Amendments to IFRS 11,Joint Arrangements, and IAS 28,Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures establishes the criteria for accounting for joint ventures. Investments in joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method. The equity method involves recording the initial investment at cost and subsequently adjusting the carrying value of the investment for the proportionate share of the profit or loss, other comprehensive income or loss and any other changes in the joint venture’s net assets such as dividends. At each statement of financial position date, the Company will consider whether there is objective evidence that its investment in the joint venture is impaired. If there is such evidence of impairment, the Company will determine the amount of the impairment and a loss will be recorded in the condensed consolidated interim statement of income (loss) (“interim statement of income (loss)”). The adoption of the amendments to IFRS 11 did not have and impact on the Company’s interim financial statements.
IFRS 16,Leases, was issued in January 2016 to replace 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, i.e. the customer (lessee) and the supplier (lessor) to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by requiring the recognition ofright-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet.
On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted IFRS 16 using the updated modified retrospective transition approach and did not restate prior periods. The Company’s classes of assets include land leases, building leases and equipment leases.
On adoption, the Company recognized lease liabilities in relation to leases which had previously been classified as ‘operating leases’ under the principles of IAS 17,Leases. These lease liabilities were measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the borrowing rate of the Company. The weighted average incremental borrowing rate applied to the lease liabilities on January 1, 2019 was 6.25%. These leases are included inright-of-use assets, short-term lease liabilities and long-term lease liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet.Right-of-use assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
For leases previously classified as finance leases the entity recognized the carrying amount of the lease asset and lease liability immediately before transition as the carrying amount of the right of use asset and the lease liability at the date of initial application.
Additionally, the Company has elected the short-term lease exception for all classes of assets, and does not apply the recognition requirements for leases of 12 months or less, and recognizes lease payments for short-term leases as expense either straight-line over the lease term or as incurred depending on whether the lease payments are fixed or variable. These elections are applied consistently for all leases.

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. On March 31, 2019, Pure Sunfarms exercised its option to acquire the Delta 2 assets and operations. Delta 2 land was disposed of as part of that transaction (note 7). The revaluation surplus related to Delta 2 of $1.0 million, net of taxes, that was previously recorded as a component of equity, was reclassified and included as part of the gain on disposal of assets recorded in the interim statements of income (loss).
7 | INVESTMENT IN JOINT VENTURES |
Pure Sunfarms Corp.
On June 6, 2017, the Company entered into an agreement to form Pure Sunfarms, a B.C. corporation, with Emerald Health Therapeutics Inc. (“Emerald”). The purpose of Pure Sunfarms is to produce, market and distribute cannabis in Canada. Village Farms has a 50% ownership interest in Pure Sunfarms in the form of common shares. The Company has concluded that the agreement constitutes a joint arrangement where joint control is shared with Emerald and therefore has accounted for Pure Sunfarms in accordance with IFRS 11 and IAS 28, using the equity method.
On July 5, 2018, the Company and Emerald Health Therapeutics Canada Inc. (a subsidiary of Emerald) (together, the “Shareholders”) entered into a Shareholder Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Pure Sunfarms, whereby, as at September 30, 2019, the Shareholders had each contributed $9,959 (CA$13,000) in the form of a demand loan to Pure Sunfarms. Effective January 1, 2019, the loan amounts bear simple interest at the rate of 6.2% per annum, calculated semi-annually. Interest will accrue and be payable upon demand being made by both Shareholders (see note 10).
On March 31, 2019, Pure Sunfarms exercised its option to utilize the Delta 2 assets and operations. The contribution of the assets has been accounted for as a disposal of the land, greenhouse facility and other assets in exchange for 25,000,000 common shares of Pure Sunfarms. This was anon-cash transaction, and it was estimated that the fair value of the land, building and other assets was $18.7 million (CA$25 million) at the date of contribution. The Company recognized a gain of $13.6 million on the contribution of the fixed assets. The Company had previously recorded a fair value increase on the Delta 2 land being contributed (2016 - $2.0 million), which was recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of taxes of $1.0 million. As a result

of the contribution of the Delta 2 land, this amount has been recycled to the interim statements of income, and has been included in the gain noted above. As at September 30, 2019, the total investment in Pure Sunfarms of US$54.2 million is recorded in the interim statements of financial position. Final determination with respect to the transfer of the land, building and equipment will not be made until year end. As such, the investment and related gain on disposal of assets may be adjusted at year end.
Pursuant to the terms of a Supply Agreement that Pure Sunfarms has with Emerald, Emerald has a right to purchase 40% of Pure Sunfarms cannabis production at a fixed price, subject to the terms and conditions of the Supply Agreement. To the extent that Emerald does not fulfill its purchase obligation, Pure Sunfarms is able to sell that excess production to other parties in the open market. The Supply Agreement stipulates that Emerald is required to pay Pure Sunfarms the difference between the fixed price and the selling price realized from other parties. During the quarter ended September 30, 2019, Emerald did not fulfill its purchase obligation and Pure Sunfarms sold the product on the open market to arm’s length parties at prices lower than the fixed price in the Supply Agreement. As a result, under the terms of the Supply Agreement, Pure Sunfarms invoiced Emerald for the difference which amounted to approximately CA$7.2 million. On October 15, 2019, Emerald issued a press release that indicated they do not agree that they have any liability with respect to these amounts.
Under IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (paragraph 9 (e)), a customer needs to have an intent and ability to pay in order for a company to recognize revenue. Given that Emerald has issued a press release indicating that they do not agree that they have a liability with respect to these amounts, Pure Sunfarms has determined that all of the criteria under IFRS 15 to recognize this revenue were not met as Emerald has demonstrated that they do not have an intent to pay, and as a result has not recorded the revenue related to these amounts.

9 | FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS |
As at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company’s financial instruments included cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, notes receivable, other receivables, patronage stock, accounts payable, other current liabilities and notes payable. Due to the short-term maturities of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and other current liabilities, the carrying amounts approximate fair value at the respective statement of financial position dates. The carrying value of the notes receivable and notes payable approximate their fair value based on a comparison with the prevailing market interest rates. The fair values of the Company’s notes receivable and notes payable are level 2 measurements in the fair value hierarchy. All other financial assets and liabilities are level 1.
There were no financial instruments categorized as Level 3 as at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. There were no transfers of assets or liabilities between levels during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.
Interest income, interest expense and gains and losses from loans, receivables and other financial liabilities are recognized in the interim statements of income (loss). The following table summarizes interest income and expense for the three and nine months ended September 30:

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 September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The Company uses financial instruments only for risk management purposes, not for generating trading profit.
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, other receivables and amounts due from joint ventures. 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 one customer that represented more than 10% of the balance of trade receivables, representing 11.1% of the balance of trade receivables as at September 30, 2019 (December 31, 2018 – two customer represented 13.8% and 11.5%). The Company believes that its expected credit losses are limited due to the protection afforded to the Company by thePerishable Agricultural Commodities Act (the “PACA”) for its sales in the United States, which represent the majority 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 of the debtor).
As at September 30, 2019, the allowance for doubtful accounts balance was calculated based on the expected credit loss model and expected credit losses continues to be insignificant.
As at September 30, 2019, 98.1% (December 31, 2018 – 90.3%) of trade receivables were outstanding less than 30 days, 0.9% (December 31, 2018 – 8.3%) were outstanding for between 30 and 90 days and the remaining 1.0% (December 31, 2018 – 1.4%) 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 the90-day LIBOR rate. If interest rates had been 50 basis points higher, the net income during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 would have been lower by $84. This represents $84 in increased interest expense (2018 – $138).

iii) | Foreign exchange risk |
As at September 30, 2019, the Canadian/U.S. foreign exchange rate was CA$1.00 = US$0.7552 (December 31, 2018 – US$0.7336). 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 September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 with the net foreign exchange gain or loss directly impacting net income (loss).

Diluted income per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of common shares outstanding to assume conversion of all dilutive potential common shares. The Company’s share options are potentially dilutive to common shares. A calculation is done to determine the number of shares that could have been acquired at fair value (determined as the average market share price of the Company’s shares for the year) based on the monetary value of the subscription rights attached to outstanding share options. The number of shares calculated above is compared with the number of shares that would have been issued assuming the exercise of the share options. If dilutive effect is less than zero, then issuance is anti-dilutive and is excluded from dilutive income per share calculation.
