MESSAGE TO
SHAREHOLDERS

This year has been marked by continued growth for Goodfood. 
Our subscriber and active customer base reached new records 
driving a 33% growth in our net sales and 34% in our gross 
profit. Beyond the record financial performance in fiscal 2021, 
our business has continued to positively evolve. Our strategy of 
building an on-demand fulfilment network allowing Canadians 
to quickly receive their grocery and meal solutions baskets has 
taken significant steps forward with our offering surpassing 
the 1,000-product mark, serviced through 13 coast-to-coast 
manufacturing, distribution, and fulfillment facilities, with orders 
orchestrated with a revamped technology backbone. During 
2021, our customers in Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver began 
enjoying same-day delivery service through our Goodfood WOW 
offering, and we are pleased to have launched in November 
2021 our 1-hour or less grocery, ready-to-cook, and ready-to-
eat, fulfilment service in Toronto and soon Montreal – a truly 
disruptive online grocery offering. Combined with a bigger 
selection and faster delivery times, this represents an important 
step in further digitizing Canada’s grocery consumption. And this 
is only the beginning.

As we embark in the eighth year of the Goodfood journey, we 
will continue to build-out more aisles of our digital grocery 
store and bring further innovation to our meal solutions offering, 
continuing to work tirelessly to successfully bring online a more 
complete grocery and meal solutions basket, and a seamless 
shopping experience to customers. Canadians are in the process 
of testing on-demand grocery and meal solutions delivery and 
choosing their preferred brands, and we are well-positioned to 
provide them with the best on-demand value proposition.

SHAREHOLDERS

THE (R)EVOLUTION BEGAN THIS YEAR…

At the start of the year, our nascent grocery selection offered customers approximately 400 
products – it now boasts over 1,000 delicious Goodfood products. The evolution of Goodfood was 
truly in full swing this year as we transitioned from a meal kit business to an online grocer and meal 
solutions provider. We will continue this transition and focus on three key execution pillars:

SELECTION

SPEED

TECHNOLOGY

Our vision of the Canadian consumer 
grocery basket is simple, shoppers 
want to purchase the products that 
allow them to answer the question 
“what will we eat this week”.  
Our selection of grocery, ready-to-
cook and ready-to-eat products can 
answer all meal occasions on a given 
week. We have made tremendous 
progress on that front with the 
introduction of over 600 new 
grocery products, 10-minute meal 
kits, and ready-to-eat meal solutions 
now prepared in our kitchens. Over 
the coming year and beyond, we 
will continue to build our selection 
to answer that question better and 
better.

To continue pushing the digitization 
of the grocery, it is imperative to 
offer customers an experience 
that rivals traditional grocery in the 
speed Canadians can complete 
their basket and have it in their 
homes. For that reason, we have 
invested significantly in and begun 
setting up a distributed network 
of facilities in which centralized 
meal solutions manufacturing 
and grocery distribution will feed 
local fulfilment centres that will 
efficiently and rapidly turn around 
orders to customers. This network 
will support our on-demand delivery 
strategy and this year, it had enabled 
the launch of Goodfood WOW, 
our same-day delivery offering, in 
Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver. 
The delivery times through WOW 
have also been tightened from an 
11.30am cut-off for an 8pm delivery 
to a 2pm cut-off for a 6pm delivery.

The orchestration of orders within 
an hour or less is no simple feat. In 
2021, we have invested heavily in 
people and tools that have built 
the technology to enable the 
increasing selection and faster 
delivery times to come together. 
We have revamped the technology 
backbone of Goodfood to develop 
and incorporate all the components 
that allow our  
front-end customer-facing platform 
to integrate with our optimized  
last-mile logistics, fulfilment 
operation and increasingly  
complex supply chain.

MESSAGE TO
SHAREHOLDERS

…AND WILL CONTINUE IN 2022 WITH THE LAUNCH  
OF ON-DEMAND DELIVERY

When we began our adventure seven years ago, our vision was 
to build a leading online grocer that could make our lives and 
the lives of millions of Canadians simpler, better. Seven years 
on, we remain fully committed to that vision and to making the 
investments to further crystallize what we accomplished thus 
far and expand our market share. We are excited by the growth 
we have seen in 2021 across all our growth drivers and our focus 
remains on relentlessly improving customers’ lives as we move 
further forward with our transition from one aisle of the grocery 
store (meal kits) to building all the aisles Canadians need and 
deliver to them faster in 2022. 

With the recent launch of 1-hour or less delivery of all our product 
categories in Toronto and soon Montreal, we are well on our way 
to providing a viable on-demand alternative to brick-and-mortar 
grocery shopping. As Fiscal 2022 unfolds, we will look to further 
expand our product offering as well as broaden the availability of 
on-demand deliveries in key urban areas across the country.

In the coming year, our technology will also continue to evolve 
as we will focus on making our shopping experience even 
more seamless through faster website performance and, more 
importantly, an open platform where customers can shop without 
a subscription. 

Through selection, speed and technology, our revolution of the 
Canadian grocery has truly begun.

THE BEST IS YET TO COME

Fiscal 2021 has been a tremendously successful transition year 
for Goodfood and its shareholders. The milestones reached this 
year are crucial in our journey, be it the 33% revenue growth, the 
295% grocery sales growth, the gross margin improvement, or 
the selection surpassing 1,000 products, all our accomplishments 
this year have put us on the right path to online grocery and meal 
solutions leadership in Canada. 

As Canadians, we are also very pleased to see Canada achieving 
an 88% vaccination rate for COVID-19. The pent-up demand 
for restaurant dining, hospitality and travel expressed itself 
throughout the summer and despite that, our business has shown 
significant resilience, with revenues only declining 5% when 
compared to 2020, a year in which the normal seasonal trends 
of our business were muted due to the significant COVID-19 
restrictions in place at the time. Despite the expected choppiness 
in demand levels and the labour cost inflation absorbed in the 
fourth quarter, we still achieved record gross margin this fiscal 
year.

Our achievements have translated in significant shareholder value 
creation, with the Goodfood stock jumping 44% this year (1) and 
being selected on the TSX30 list for the second year in a row. We 
are also proud to have made the top 3 in the Financial Times list 
of fastest growing companies in the Americas. It undoubtedly has 
been a good year. But the best is yet to come.

MESSAGE TO
SHAREHOLDERS

In Fiscal 2022 and beyond, the revolution will continue as we 
launch our next phase of initiatives. We have recently launched 
a 1-hour or less delivery service available in Toronto and in short 
order Montreal, supplementing WOW same-day deliveries in 
the broader Greater Toronto and Montreal areas, enabled by our 
investments in a distributed network infrastructure. Through 
local fulfilment centres fed by centralized manufacturing and 
distribution centres, our customers now have access faster than 
ever to ready-to-cook, ready-to-eat and grocery products. Over 
the course of the year and next year, investments in these centres 
will support the launch of shorter delivery times of a bigger 
selection from cost to coast. What is more, our website will also 
soon be open to all Canadians who wish to purchase groceries 
online without requiring a subscription, a truly game-changing 
step in opening our business to 38 million Canadians.

As the $142 billion grocery industry (2) continues to shift online, we 
are tremendously excited by the simple fact that each 1% shift 
online represents a $1.4 billion opportunity for Goodfood. We have 
begun laying the foundation to capture that shift through our 
execution pillars: selection, speed, and technology. With these 
pillars beginning to take shape, we believe to be in an excellent 
position to continuing growing through our three growth vectors: 
ready-to-cook meal kits, ready-to-eat meal solutions and private 
label and branded grocery products. By putting together the 
right selection with on-demand delivery speed and a seamless 
shopping experience, we will look to acquire more customers, and 
entice them to purchase bigger baskets, more often.

AGAIN, MOST IMPORTANTLY

Having reached a workforce of nearly 3,200 employees, our 
exceptional performance this year still reflects the dedication of 
our people. Our success would not have been possible without 
their incredible contributions both in good and more challenging 
times. To all Goodfoodies, we want to say thank you for your hard 
work and your steadfast trust in our strategy. 

Our performance this year has still also been driven by the 
unwavering confidence of our shareholders, customers, board 
members, suppliers, and other stakeholders. We want to express 
our deep appreciation for your trust and support. We are thrilled to 
have rewarded your confidence in our strategy with strong returns 
and will constantly work to continue doing so. 

When we created Goodfood, we envisioned improving the 
experience of Canadian grocery shoppers and our goal to be 
in every kitchen, every day, has been accelerated in the past 18 
months. As we continue to build towards that ambitious goal, 
it is with great pride that we share with you our Fiscal year 2021 
financial results.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION 

The  following  Management’s  Discussion  and  Analysis  ("MD&A")  is  intended  to  assist  readers  in 
understanding the business environment, trends and significant changes in the results of operations and 
financial condition of Goodfood Market Corp. and its subsidiaries (the “Company” or “Goodfood”) for the 
years  ended  August  31,  2021  and  2020  and  should  be  read  in  conjunction  with  our  audited  annual 
consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes for the year ended August 31, 2021 and 
2020. Please also refer to Goodfood’s press release announcing its results for year ended August 31, 2021 
issued on November 17, 2021. Quarterly reports, the Annual Report, and the Annual Information Form can 
be found on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and under the “Investor Relations – Financial Information” section 
of our website: https://www.makegoodfood.ca/en/investors. Press releases are available on SEDAR and 
under the “Investor Relations – Press Releases” section of our corporate website.  

The  Company’s  annual  audited  consolidated  financial  statements  were  prepared  in  accordance  with 
International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards 
Board ("IASB") and the financial information herein was derived from those statements.  

All  amounts  herein  are  expressed  in  Canadian  dollars  unless  otherwise  indicated  and  all  references  to 
Fiscal  2021  and  to  Fiscal  2020  are  to  the  fiscal  years  ended  August  31,  2021,  and  August  31,  2020, 
respectively.  

The information in this MD&A is current to November 17, 2021, unless otherwise noted. 

In this MD&A, references to “we”, “our”, “Goodfood” or the “Company” refer to Goodfood Market Corp. and 
its wholly owned subsidiaries (including Yumm  Meal  Solutions Corp., Goodfood Québec Inc., Goodfood 
Ontario Inc., Goodfood AB Inc., and Goodfood BC Inc.).  

Management  determines  whether  information  is  material  based  on  whether  they  believe  a  reasonable 
investor’s decision to buy,  sell or hold securities of the  Company would likely be influenced or changed 
should the information be omitted or misstated, and discloses material information accordingly. 

The Company implemented the April 2021’s International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee 
(“IFRIC”)  agenda  decision  which  clarified  the  accounting  for  configuration  and  customization  in  a  cloud 
computing arrangement. As a result of this decision, the Company changed its accounting policy for costs 
incurred  on  cloud  computing  arrangements  with  retrospective  application.  Comparative  figures  for  each 
period  have  been  restated  to  reflect  this  amendment.  The  adjustments  to  our  consolidated  financial 
statements are discussed further in the “Changes in accounting policies” section of this MD&A.   

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS 

This  MD&A  contains  “forward-looking  information”  within  the  meaning  of  applicable  Canadian  securities 
legislation. Such forward-looking information includes, but is not limited to, information with respect to our 
objectives and the strategies to achieve these objectives, as well as information with respect to our beliefs, 
plans, expectations, anticipations, estimates and intentions. This forward-looking information is identified 
by the use of terms and phrases such as “may”, “would”, “should”, “could”, “expect”, “intend”, “estimate”, 
“anticipate”, “plan”, “foresee”, “believe”, and “continue”, as well as the negative of these terms and similar 
terminology,  including  references  to  assumptions,  although  not  all  forward-looking  information  contains 
these terms and phrases. Forward-looking information is provided for the purposes of assisting the reader 
in understanding the Company and its business, operations, prospects and risks at a point in time in the 
context of historical trends, current condition and possible future developments and therefore the reader is 
cautioned that such information may not be appropriate for other purposes.  

Forward-looking information is based upon a number of assumptions and is subject to a number of risks 
and  uncertainties,  many  of  which  are  beyond  our  control,  which  could  cause  actual  results  to  differ 
materially from those that are disclosed in, or implied by, such forward-looking information. These risks and 
uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the following risk factors which are discussed in greater detail 
under  “Risk  Factors”  in  the  Company’s  Annual  Information  Form  for  the  year  ended  August  31,  2021 
available  on  SEDAR  at  www.sedar.com:  limited  operating  history,  negative  operating  cash  flow,  food 
industry,  COVID-19  pandemic  as  well  as  the  impact  of  the  vaccine  rollout,  quality  control  and  health

concerns, regulatory compliance, regulation of the industry, public safety issues, product recalls, damage 
to  Goodfood’s  reputation,  transportation  disruptions,  storage  and  delivery  of  perishable  foods,  product 
liability,  unionization  activities,  consolidation  trends,  ownership  and  protection  of  intellectual  property, 
evolving industry, reliance on management, failure to attract or retain key employees which may impact the 
Company’s ability to effectively operate and meet its financial goals, factors which may prevent realization 
of growth targets, inability to effectively react to changing consumer trends,  competition, availability and 
quality  of  raw  materials,  environmental  and  employee  health  and  safety  regulations,  the  inability  of  the 
Company’s  IT  infrastructure  to  support  the  requirements  of  the  Company’s  business,  online  security 
breaches,  disruptions  and  denial  of  service  attacks,  reliance  on  data  centers,  open  source  license 
compliance, future capital requirements, operating risk and insurance coverage, management of growth, 
limited  number  of  products,  conflicts  of  interest,  litigation,  catastrophic  events,  risks  associated  with 
payments from customers and third parties, being accused of infringing intellectual property rights of others 
and,  climate  change  and  environmental  risks.  This  is  not  an  exhaustive  list  of  risks  that  may  affect  the 
Company’s  forward-looking  statements.  Other  risks  not  presently  known  to  the  Company  or  that  the 
Company  believes  are  not  significant  could  also  cause  actual  results  to  differ  materially  from  those 
expressed in its forward-looking statements. Although the forward-looking information contained herein is 
based upon what we believe are reasonable assumptions, readers are cautioned against placing undue 
reliance  on  this  information  since  actual  results  may  vary  from  the  forward-looking  information.  Certain 
assumptions were made in preparing the forward-looking information concerning the availability of capital 
resources, business performance, market conditions, and customer demand. In addition, information and 
expectations  set  forth  herein  are  subject  to  and  could  change  materially  in  relation  to  developments 
regarding the duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic as well as the impact of the vaccine rollout 
and its impact on product demand, labour mobility, supply chain continuity and other elements beyond our 
control. Consequently, all of the forward-looking information contained herein is qualified by the foregoing 
cautionary statements, and there can be no guarantee that the results or developments that we anticipate 
will be realized or, even if substantially realized, that they will have the expected consequences or effects 
on our business, financial condition or results of operation. Unless otherwise noted or the context otherwise 
indicates, the forward-looking information contained herein is provided as of the date hereof, and we do not 
undertake to update or amend such forward-looking information whether as a result of new information, 
future events or otherwise, except as may be required by applicable law.  

METRICS AND NON-IFRS FINANCIAL MEASURES 

The table below defines metrics and non-IFRS financial measures used by the Company throughout this 
MD&A.  Non-IFRS  financial  measures  do  not  have  standardized  definitions  prescribed  by  IFRS  and, 
therefore, may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. They are provided 
as  additional  information  to  complement  IFRS  measures  and  to  provide  a  further  understanding  of  the 
Company’s  results  of  operations  from  our  perspective.  Accordingly,  they  should  not  be  considered  in 
isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of our financial information reported under IFRS and should be 
read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the periods indicated.  

In addition, in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2021, the Company added a new metric called active customers 
to track customers that have placed an order within the last three months. As the Company builds out its 
on-demand fulfillment network, opens up its digital store platform to non-subscribers allowing for multiple 
type of customers and as the grocery and ready-to-eat offering of the Company grows, the active customers 
metric  is  a  key  performance  indicator  that  is  better  correlated  to  the  Company’s  performance.  In  Fiscal 
2022, the Company plans to transition to only reporting active customers and discontinuing its use of active 
subscribers as a metric.

Definitions 
An active subscriber is an account that is scheduled to receive a delivery, has elected 
to  skip  delivery  in  the  subsequent  weekly  delivery  cycle  or  that  is  registered  to 
Goodfood WOW. Active subscribers exclude cancelled accounts. For greater certainty, 
an active subscriber is only accounted for once, although different products might have 
been ordered in a given weekly delivery cycle. While  the active subscribers metric is 
not an IFRS or non-IFRS financial measure, and, therefore, does not appear in, and 
cannot  be  reconciled  to  a  specific  line  item  in  the  Company’s  consolidated  financial 
statements, we believe that the active subscribers metric is a useful metric for investors 
because it is indicative of potential future net sales. The Company reports the number 
of active subscribers at the beginning and end of the period, rounded to the nearest 
thousand. 

An active customer is a customer that has placed an order within the last three months. 
For greater certainty, an active customer is only accounted for once, although different 
products and multiple orders might have been purchased within a quarter. While the 
active customers metric is not an IFRS or non-IFRS financial measure, and, therefore, 
does not appear in, and cannot be reconciled to a specific line item in the Company’s 
consolidated  financial  statements,  we  believe  that  the  active  customers  metric  is  a 
useful  metric  for  investors  because  it  is  indicative  of  potential  future  net  sales.  The 
Company  reports  the  number  of  active  customers  at  the  beginning  and  end  of  the 
period, rounded to the nearest thousand. 

EBITDA is defined as net  income or loss before net finance  costs, depreciation  and 
amortization  and  income  taxes.  Adjusted  EBITDA  is  defined  as  EBITDA  excluding 
share-based payments expense and reorganization costs. Adjusted EBITDA margin is 
defined as the percentage of adjusted EBITDA to net sales. EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, 
and  adjusted  EBITDA  margin  are  non-IFRS  financial  measures.  We  believe  that 
EBITDA,  adjusted  EBITDA,  and  adjusted  EBITDA  margin  are  useful  measures  of 
financial performance to assess the Company’s ability to seize growth opportunities in 
a cost-effective manner, to finance its ongoing operations and to service its long-term 
debt. They also allow comparisons between companies with different capital structures.

The online grocery industry is among the fastest growing industries. In particular, across the globe, we have 
observed that fast delivery of groceries provides a unique value proposition to customers that drives online 
grocery penetration. As a result, Goodfood believes that there are significant opportunities to rapidly grow 
its customer base and basket size by continuing to expand its national platform through capacity expansion 
with  additional  locations  and  investment  in  automation  to  improve  the  speed  of  servicing  customers, 
increasing its product offering and investing in highly targeted marketing campaigns.  

Goodfood's strategy in part  involves delaying short-term profitability  through the  investment of capital  in 
people, processes, marketing driving online grocery penetration, and technology with the goal of generating 
long-term shareholder value creation through ultimately leveraging its cost structure to achieve long-term 
margin and profitability goals. Growing Goodfood's market share, scale, on-demand delivery capabilities 
and  product  offering  will  allow  the  Company  to  deliver  greater  value  to  its  customers  while  attaining 
attractive returns on invested capital. As the Company continues to grow, it is confident that it will achieve 
economies  of  scale  and  additional  efficiencies  which  will  lead  to  improvements  in  profitability  while 
maintaining an unrivalled customer experience.  

The Company expects that Fiscal 2022 will be the year in which its multi-year effort of preparing for the 
launch of on-demand grocery and meal-solution offering, supported by an optimized digital store platform 
is realized. Over the past two years, Goodfood’s cost structure has included a growing and material amount 
of operating expenses related to this initiative, and when coupled with a subscriber-centric ready-to-cook 
revenue  base  that  has  not  yet  benefited  from  the  additional  revenue  stream  that  an  on-demand  meal 
solution and grocery offering can generate, net loss and Adjusted EBITDA1 have been materiality negatively 
impacted.  In  2022,  the  Company  expects  investments  to  continue  and  to  open  on-demand  fulfillment 
centers  that  can  support  significant  incremental  net  sales.  This  will  begin  with  the  recent  completion  of 
construction at our Vancouver facility, followed by the recently announced launch of one-hour or less meal-
solution  and  grocery  deliveries  out  of  our  new  Toronto  facility  to  be  followed  in  short-order  by  a  similar 
facility in Montreal, in addition to our automated local fulfilment centre in Ottawa which will begin delivering 
orders early in the new calendar year, as well as additional facilities in key urban areas throughout Fiscal 
2022. In addition, in Fiscal 2022, we expect an improved cost structure through realized efficiencies, further 
aligning  it  with  our  on-demand  one-hour  grocery  initiative,  and  we  expect  progressive  improvement  in 
profitability throughout the year. 

The COVID-19 pandemic has had an impact on Goodfood’s overall business and operations and it expects 
that Fiscal 2022 will continue to be affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. As an essential service in Canada, 
Goodfood has been operating throughout the pandemic and implemented increased safety protocols at its 
locations to ensure the safety of its employees. The Company experienced an acceleration of growth in 
demand. Pressure on supply chains, inventory levels and increased operational costs or disruptions and 
labour shortages could increase depending on the duration and severity of the pandemic as well as any

changes to Goodfood’s industry regulatory framework. Goodfood may experience a slow down in demand 
due to relaxation of lock-down restrictions and the increased vaccine coverage. The magnitude, duration, 
and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic as well as the impact of the vaccine rollout are difficult to predict 
and could affect the significant estimates and judgements used in the preparation of the Company’s annual 
consolidated  financial  statements.  As  a  result  of  the  COVID-19  pandemic,  the  number  of  employees 
working remotely has increased significantly, which has also increased demands on information technology 
resources and systems and increased the risk of phishing and other cybersecurity attacks.  

Objectives  are  based  upon  assumptions  and  are  subject  to  risks  and  uncertainties,  many  of  which  are 
beyond  our  control.  These  risks  and  uncertainties  could  cause  actual  results  to  differ  materially  from 
objectives. See the ‘‘Forward-Looking Statements’’ and ‘‘Business Risk” sections of this MD&A.

KEY HIGHLIGHTS OF FISCAL 2021 AND SUBSEQUENT EVENTS 

1-hour delivery 

In November 2021, the Company launched an even faster delivery option in certain areas of Toronto, being 
a “1-hour or less” delivery option for grocery, ready-to-cook and ready-to-eat meal products. Throughout 
the  month  of  November,  we  will  be  introducing  the  1-hour  or  less  delivery  to  other  neighbourhoods  in 
Toronto and Montreal. Our world class infrastructure and continued investment in technology, staffing and 
fulfillment facilities is a key success factor to this initiative. 

Private Label Grocery Products 

During the year ended August 31, 2021, the Company further expanded its private label grocery products 
across Canada, with approximately 1,000 products available to purchase as at that date. The Company 
offers everyday grocery essentials with exclusive  prices, across an array of categories: bakery, dessert, 
meat and seafood, drinks, pantry, produce, snacks, dairy, frozen and kitchen essentials.

Change in fiscal year-end 

In September 2021, the Company changed its fiscal year-end from a fixed year-end ending August 31 of 
each year to a floating year-end ending on the first Saturday of September of each year in order to align 
the Company's year-end with that of comparative companies. As a result, the Company will follow a 52-
week reporting cycle but will include a 53rd week every five to six years. For Fiscal 2022, the first quarter 
will end on December 4, 2021 and the year-end will be September 3, 2022. For Fiscal 2022, we will have 
3 additional days compared to Fiscal 2021.  

Recognized on the 2021 TSX30 for a second year in a row 

In September 2021, the Company announced that it was included in the Toronto Stock Exchange’s TSX30 
for a second year in a row, a flagship program recognizing the 30 top-performing TSX stocks over a three-
year period based on share price appreciation. It is an acknowledgement of the value Goodfood has created 
for shareholders through the strong growth and financial performance of the Company.  

First Automated Fulfillment Center 

In June 2021, the Company announced a leased facility in Ottawa, scheduled to open in the winter of 2021, 
that will be its first tech-enabled fulfillment center with automation capabilities to deliver over 4,000 products 
on a same-day or faster basis. 

Departure and Appointment of its Chief Technology Officer 

In  May  2021,  the  Company  announced  the  departure  of  Raghu  Mocharla,  its  Chief  Technology  Officer, 
effective July 1, 2021. In September 2021, the Company announced the appointment of Bipasha Chiu as 
its  new  Chief  Technology  Officer.  Bipasha  is  an  experienced  technology  transformation  and  delivery 
executive focused in retail and digital commerce that will help continue building our technology platform.  

CIBC and Goodfood team up to support frontline healthcare heroes with 100,000 meals 

In May 2021, Goodfood and CIBC announced an initiative in appreciation of Canada’s frontline healthcare 
to deliver 100,000 meals to hospitals in cities and communities across Canada for healthcare workers to 
take home, which commenced on International Nurses Day over a four-week period.  

Equity Issuance 

In February 2021, the Company completed a bought deal public offering with a syndicate of underwriters 
and issued 4.8 million common shares for gross proceeds of $60 million.  

Departure and Appointment of its Chief Financial Officer 

In  January  2021,  the  Company  announced  the  departure  of  Philippe  Adam,  its  Chief  Financial  Officer, 
effective on April 2, 2021. In May 2021, the Company announced the appointment of Jonathan Roiter as 
its new Chief Financial Officer, effective June 7, 2021. Jonathan has over 25 years of experience in defining 
and executing financial roadmaps while building and leading high-performing teams.  

Refinancing of Credit Facility 

On November 30, 2020, the Company entered into a new syndicated bank financing totaling $46 million, 
including a term loan facility of $12.5 million, a revolving credit facility of $27.5 million and other short-term 
financing of $6 million. On February 16, 2021, the Company increased the revolving credit by $15 million 
for a total of $42.5 million, and the other short-term financing by an amount not to exceed $15 million, and 
an  additional  lender  was  added  to  the  syndicate.  This  increase  brought  the  total  available  financing  to                   
$70  million.  The  facilities  feature  flexible  and  improved  financial  conditions,  including  variable  rates  of 
Bankers’ Acceptance (“BA”) plus 2.50%, and come to maturity in November 2023. The Company will use 
the proceeds to fund the continued growth of the Company through capital and non-capital expenditures 

21 | P a g e  

 
focusing on automation as well as the expansion of the business, refinancing of existing credit facilities and 
general corporate purposes.  

Launch of Goodfood WOW  

In  October  2020,  the  Company  announced  the  launch  of  its  new  unlimited  same-day  grocery  delivery 
service, Goodfood WOW, in the Greater Montréal Area. In February 2021, the Company launched it in the 
Greater Toronto Area and in October 2021 in the Vancouver area. This new service is scheduled to expand 
to  other  major  Canadian  cities  over  the  next  year.  Goodfood  WOW  offers  an  even  more  flexible  and 
convenient online grocery experience, allowing customers to order any combination of meal kits, groceries, 
prepared  meals  and  other  products  as  frequently  as  needed  during  the  week,  with  same-day  delivery 
included for all orders, for a monthly subscription fee.  

COVID-19 Impact and Measures 

The World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic on March 11, 2020, and the outbreak 
has had an impact on Goodfood’s overall business and operations. As the Company is deemed an essential 
service in Canada, Goodfood has continued to operate without interruption.   

Starting in the second half of Fiscal 2020, Goodfood experienced several positive impacts on its financial 
results  related  to  the  COVID-19  pandemic  such  as  increased  subscriber  growth,  number  of  orders  and 
average  order  values,  which  positively  impacted  net  sales  and  continued  throughout  Fiscal  2021,  with 
subsequent waves of the COVID-19 pandemic across Canada. With relaxation of lock-down restrictions 
and  the  increased  vaccine  coverage  during  the  fourth  quarter  of  fiscal  2021  combined  with  muted 
seasonality impact due to the pandemic in the fourth quarter of 2020, Goodfood experienced a decrease in 
the number of active subscribers in the last quarter of 2021 compared to prior quarters in 2020. 

In Fiscal 2021, the Company incurred direct COVID-19 incremental costs of approximately $0.2 million and 
$1.8  million  for  the  three-month  period  and  year  ended  August  31,  2021,  respectively,  consisting  of 
additional production costs and temporary agency premiums.  

At the onset of the pandemic, precautionary measures were implemented at all of the Company’s 
locations across Canada in addition to its already rigorous food safety standards. These measures 
included, but were not limited to:  

•  Enhanced  hygiene  procedures,  including  additional  cleaning  at  all  of  its  locations,  mandatory  hand 
washing prior to entry (for both visitors and employees), and accessibility to hand sanitizer stations;  

•  Social distancing measures put in place for the health and safety of employees, mandatory non-contact 
temperature checks before entering the facility, installation of physical safety barriers, requirement for 
all frontline employees to wear personal protection equipment, such as face masks and face shields, 
and the hiring of a team to ensure the health screening for employees and reinforce social distancing 
measures inside and outside of all locations; and 

The Company continues to follow precautionary measures at its locations in addition to its already rigorous 
food safety standards to safeguard the health and safety of its employees as well as ensuring the quality 
of its products to its customers.

For  the  three-month  period  ended  August  31,  2021,  adjusted  EBITDA  margin  decreased  by  
28.2 percentage points compared to the corresponding period in 2020 mainly due to lower revenue base 
resulting from relaxation of lock-down restrictions and the increased vaccine coverage in the fourth quarter 
of  2021  combined  with  muted  seasonality  impact  due  to  the  pandemic  in  the  fourth  quarter  of  2020.  In 
addition,  lower  adjusted  EBITDA  margin  can  be  explained  by  higher  wages  and  salaries  as  well  as 
marketing  spend  as  a  percentage  of  net  sales  resulting  from  the  expansion  of  the  management  team, 
including mainly our technology, operations management and marketing groups, and related administrative 
functions  needed  to  build  out  the  physical  and  digital  on-demand  fulfillment  infrastructure,  including  the 
growing product offering required to support the Company’s growth plan.  

For  the  year  ended  August  31,  2021,  adjusted  EBITDA  margin  decreased  by  5.2  percentage  points 
compared  to  last  year  primarily  due  higher  wages  and  salaries  and  marketing  spend  resulting  from  the 
expansion of the management team and related administrative functions needed to build out the physical 
and digital on-demand fulfillment infrastructure, including the growing product offering required to support 
the Company’s growth plan. The decline was partially offset by the higher gross margin driven by a larger 
revenue base, a decrease in incentives and credits as a percentage of net sales as well as a decrease in 
shipping cost per order.

VARIANCE ANALYSIS FOR FISCAL 2021 COMPARED TO FISCAL 2020 

•  The Company’s continued focus on its strategy to become Canada’s leading online grocer by increasing 
its  product  offering  and  flexibility  for  customers  through  same  day  delivery  impacted  positively  the 
average basket size and order frequency which, combined with a larger subscriber base, resulted in 
increased net sales. The decrease in incentives and credits as a percentage of net sales from 15.9% 
to 10.9% also contributed to the increase in net sales.  

•  The increase in gross profit and gross margin resulted primarily from an increase in net sales as well 
as a decrease in incentives and credits as a percentage of net sales, larger basket sizes and lower 
fulfillment costs per order partially offset by an increase in production costs due to a higher production 
labour cost. The decrease in fulfillment costs consists mainly of a decrease in shipping costs from an 
increased density among the delivery zones as well as the expansion of our internal last-mile delivery 
capabilities.  

•  The  increase  in  selling,  general  and  administrative  expenses  is  primarily  due  to  higher  wages  and 
salaries  resulting  from  the  expansion  of  the  management  team  and  related  administrative  functions 
needed to build out the physical and digital on-demand fulfillment infrastructure, including the growing 
product  offering  required  to  support  the  Company’s  growth  plan  as  well  as  higher  marketing  spend 
resulting from lower marketing spend in Fiscal 2020 due to COVID-19 positively impacting our net sales. 
Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of  net sales increased from 29.8% to 
36.0%. 

•  The increase in depreciation and amortization expense is mainly due to the recognition of right-of-use 
assets  from  new  facility  lease  agreements  and  lease  modification  agreements  as  well  as  related  to 
fixed assets additions mainly attributable to the redesign of facilities layouts as well as technology and 
automation  implementation  as  the  Company  continues  to  grow  and  expand  its  operations  across 
Canada.  

•  The  deferred  income  tax  expense  relates  to  the  conversion  of  convertible  debentures  into  common 

shares. 

•  The increase in net loss is explained principally by the increase in wages and salaries as well as the 

marketing spend, partially offset by the increase in net sales and gross margin.

VARIANCE ANALYSIS FOR THE THREE-MONTH PERIOD ENDED AUGUST 31, 2021 COMPARED TO 
THE THREE-MONTH PERIOD ENDED AUGUST 31, 2020 

•  Accelerated  removal  of  lock-down  restrictions  and  the  increased  vaccine  coverage  during  the  fourth 
quarter of fiscal 2021 combined with muted seasonality impact due to the pandemic in the fourth quarter 
of 2020 reduced consumer demand resulting in net sales decreasing compared to the same period last 
year partially offset by a decrease in incentives and credits as a percentage of net sales from 12.1% to 
7.4%. 

•  The decrease in gross profit and gross margin primarily resulted from a decrease in net sales leading to 
operating de-leverage, including production, food and overhead costs. Higher production costs primarily 
resulted from an increase in production and fulfillment labour due to inflationary increases in wages and 
increases in supervisory and other non-direct labour. The increase in food costs was in part driven by 
the expansion of our private label grocery offering. The higher overhead costs were mainly due to our 
continued investment in people to support the Company’s growth plan. 

•  The  increase  in  selling,  general  and  administrative  expenses  is  primarily  due  to  higher  wages  and 
salaries  resulting  from  the  expansion  of  the  management  team,  including  mainly  our  technology, 
operations management and marketing groups, and related administrative functions needed to build out 
the  physical  and  digital  on-demand  fulfillment  infrastructure,  including  the  growing  product  offering 
required to support the Company’s growth plan. The increase can also be explained by higher marketing 
spend resulting from a temporary reduction of marketing spend last year due to the increased demand 
during  the  pandemic.  Selling,  general  and  administrative  expenses  as  a  percentage  of  net  sales 
increased from 27.5% to 47.2%.  

•  The increase in depreciation and amortization expense is mainly due to the recognition of right-of-use 
assets from new or amended facility lease agreements and related additions of leasehold improvements 
as the Company continues to grow and expand its operations across Canada. 

•  The  decrease  in  net  finance  costs  is  mainly  due  to  the  reduction  in  the  outstanding  debt  for  the 
convertible debentures compared to same period last year due to conversion of debentures in FY2021. 

•  The  deferred  income  tax  expense  is  lower  in  the  fourth  quarter  of  2021  due  to  a  lower  amount  of 

convertible debentures converted into common shares. 

•  The net loss in the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to net income in the comparable period of 2020 is 
due to lower net sales and gross profit as well as higher wages and salaries and marketing spend.

TRENDS AND SEASONALITY 

The  Company’s  net  sales  and  expenses  are  impacted  by  seasonality.  During  the  holiday  and  summer 
seasons, the Company anticipates net sales to be lower as a higher proportion of customers elect to skip 
their delivery. The Company generally anticipates the growth rate of active subscribers and the number of 
active customers to be lower during these periods. While this is typically the case, the COVID-19 pandemic 
as  well  as  the  impact  of  the  vaccine  rollout  and  changing  government  restrictions  have  had,  and  may 
continue to have, an impact on this trend. Seasonality in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2020 was muted due 
to the pandemic. In Fiscal 2021, in light of the COVID-19 vaccine rollout as well as relaxation of lock-down 
restrictions in the summer, seasonality trends returned in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2021. During periods 
with  warmer  weather,  the  Company  anticipates  packaging  costs  to  be  higher  due  to  the  additional 
packaging required to maintain food freshness and quality. The Company also anticipates food costs to be 
positively affected due to improved availability during periods with warmer weather.

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT  

The  Company’s  objective  in  managing  its  capital  structure  is  to  ensure  sufficient  liquidity  to  finance  its 
operations  and  growth  and  to  deliver  competitive  returns  on  invested  capital.  To  fund  its  activities,  the 
Company has relied on public and private placements of equity securities, convertible debentures, cash 
flows provided by operating activities and short-term or long-term debt, which are included in the Company’s 
definition of capital. The Company manages its excess cash to ensure that it has sufficient reserves to fund 
its operations and capital structure.

Net cash flows used in operating activities were $16.4 million for the year ended August 31, 2021 compared 
to net cash flows provided by operating activities of $7.2 million in the comparable period of 2020. This is a 
year-over-year negative variance of $23.5 million which is primarily due to the increase in net loss before 
non-cash  expenses  recorded  for  the  year  and  an  unfavourable  variance  in  non-cash  operating  working 
capital mainly due to an increase in inventory to support its online grocery delivery.  

Net cash flows used in investing activities increased by $10.0 million for the year ended August 31, 2021 
compared to the same period last year primarily due to higher fixed assets additions and deposits mainly 
attributable to the redesign and fit outs of facilities as well as technology and automation implementation.

related to its credit facilities compared to Fiscal 2020.

Net cash flows used in operating activities were $23.7 million for the fourth quarter ended August 31, 2021 
compared  to  net  cash  flows  provided  by  operating  activities  of  $2.0  million  in  the  comparable  period  of 
2020. This year-over-year negative variance  of $25.7 million is primarily due to the net loss before non-
cash  expenses  recorded  as  well  as  an  unfavourable  variance  in  change  in  non-cash  operating  working 
capital mainly explained by higher accounts and other receivables and lower accounts payable and accrued 
liabilities.  

Net cash flows used in investing activities increased by $5.3 million for the fourth quarter ended August 31, 
2021  compared  to  the  same  period  last  year  primarily  due  to  higher  fixed  assets  additions  mainly 
attributable to the redesign and fit outs of facilities as well as automation implementation.  

Net cash flows used in financing activities were $0.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to net 
cash flows provided by financing activities of $26.8 million in the comparable period of 2020. This year-
over-year negative variance of $26.9 million was primarily due to the net proceeds resulting from the public 
issuance of common shares in 2020.

Credit Facility 2021 

During the first quarter ended November 30, 2020, the Company entered into a syndicated credit agreement 
totaling $46 million, including a term loan of $12.5 million, a revolving facility of $27.5 million and $6 million 
in other short-term financing ("Credit Facility 2021"). During the second quarter ended February 28, 2021, 
the Company increased the revolving facility by $15 million for a total of $42.5 million, and the other short-
term financing by an amount not to exceed $15 million, and an additional lender was added to the syndicate. 
This increase brought the total available financing to $70 million. The Credit Facility 2021 is secured by a 
first-ranking hypothec on all of the Company’s movable and immovable assets. The facilities bear variable 
interest rates of BA plus 2.50% and mature in November 2023. The term loan is repayable in four quarterly 
installments  of  $156  thousand  beginning  on  November  30,  2021  and  increasing  to  four  quarterly

Credit Facility 2019  

During the year ended August 31, 2019, the Company obtained from a Canadian financial institution two 
secured three-year term loans totalling $12.5 million, a $10 million revolving line of credit and $5 million in 
other short-term financing (“Credit Facility 2019”). The Credit Facility 2019 was secured by a first-ranking 
hypothec  on  all  of  the  Company’s  movable  and  immovable  assets.  The  proceeds  were  used  to  fund 
expansion, capital expenditures, invest in automation, and were also used to refinance the Company’s long-
term debt.  

As at August 31, 2020, $12.5 million of the term loans were disbursed, bearing variable interest at CDOR 
thousand  and

Quarterly net sales have increased since the first quarter of Fiscal 2020 principally due to the Company’s 
continued focus on its strategy to become Canada’s leading online grocer by increasing its product offering 
and flexibility to customers which positively impacted the average basket size and order frequency. With 
accelerated removal of lock-down restrictions and the increased vaccine coverage, Goodfood’s net sales 
decreased in the last quarter of Fiscal 2021. 

Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin improved quarterly in Fiscal 2020 due to higher net sales 
and gross profit primarily from a larger subscriber base. For the third and fourth quarters of Fiscal 2020, 
adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin were further positively impacted by lower selling, general 
and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales. For Fiscal 2021, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted 
EBITDA margin decreased comparatively to the third and fourth quarters of Fiscal 2020 due to higher wages 
and salaries and higher marketing spend as the Company continues to grow and expand its operations and 
31 | P a g e  

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
product offerings across Canada. In addition, for the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2021, adjusted EBITDA and 
adjusted margin was impacted by the decrease in net sales. 

Net (loss) income improved quarter over quarter, starting in the first quarter of Fiscal 2020 due to higher 
net  sales  and  gross  profit.  For  the  third  and  fourth  quarters  of  Fiscal  2020,  lower  selling,  general  and 
administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales also contributed to the improvement to a net income 
position. Net loss for the first two quarters of Fiscal 2021 was negatively impacted by higher depreciation 
and amortization expense associated with the recognition of right-of-use assets from new and amended 
facility  lease  agreements  and  related  additions  of  leasehold  improvements  as  well  as  increased  share-
based payments expense. Net loss for the third and fourth quarter of Fiscal 2021 was negatively impacted 
by higher wages and salaries and higher marketing spend as the Company continues to grow and expand 
its operations and product offerings across Canada. In addition, for the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2021, net 
loss was impacted by the decrease in net sales. 

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT 

CREDIT RISK 

Credit  risk  is  the  risk  of  an  unexpected  loss  if  a  counterparty  to  a  financial  instrument  fails  to  meet  its 
contractual obligation. The Company regularly monitors credit risk exposure and takes steps to mitigate the 
likelihood of this exposure resulting in losses. The Company's exposure to credit risk is primarily attributable 
to  its  cash  and  cash  equivalents  and  accounts  and  other  receivables.  The  Company's  maximum  credit 
exposure corresponds to the carrying amount of these financial assets. Management believes the credit 
risk  is  limited  given  that  the  Company  deals  with  major  North  American  financial  institutions  and  an 
internationally established payment processor. 

INTEREST RATE RISK 

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due 
to changes in market interest rates. The Company’s long-term debt and revolving facility bear interest at 
variable  rates  which  are  determined  by  a  base  rate  set  by  the  lender  plus  a  margin.  As  a  result,  the 
Company is exposed to interest rate cash flow risk due to fluctuations in lenders’ base rates. The Company 
manages its interest rate risk by using a variable-to-fixed interest rate swap as described in the “Liquidity 
and Capital Resources” section of this MD&A. As interest rates on Debentures are fixed, the Company is 
not exposed to interest rate risk on those instruments. 

The Company does not account for any fixed-rate financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through 
profit or loss and does not designate derivatives (interest rate swaps) as hedging instruments under a fair 
value  hedge  accounting  model.  Therefore,  a  change  in  interest  rates  at  the  reporting  date  would  not 
significantly impact the fair value of the interest rate swaps and consequently, the Company’s net loss.  

LIQUIDITY RISK 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will be unable to fulfill its obligations on a timely basis or at a 
reasonable  cost.  The  Company  manages  its  liquidity  risk  by  monitoring  its  operating  requirements.  The 
Company prepares budgets and cash forecasts to ensure it has sufficient funds to fulfill its obligations.   

For the fiscal year ending August 31, 2022, additional capital and non-capital expenditures as the Company 
continues to expand its footprint across Canada, as well as growing its active subscriber base and product 
offering, are expected to reduce the Company’s cash balance and liquidity position compared to August 
31, 2021, absent additional financing. We believe that the Company’s cash and cash equivalents on hand 
and  financing capacity  will  provide adequate sources  of funds to meet short-term requirements, finance 
planned capital expenditures and fund any operating losses.

BUSINESS RISK 

For a detailed discussion of business risk factors, please refer to the Company’s Annual Information Form 
for the year ended August 31, 2021 available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. 

ADDITIONAL FINANCING REQUIREMENTS 

As a result of realized and anticipated growth in the number of active subscribers, planned investment in 
operations,  logistics,  automation  and  technology,  new  product  development,  as  well  as  the  potential  for 
continued operating losses, the Company may require additional financing in the future to realize the goals 
outlined in the “Financial Outlook” section of this MD&A.

As at August 31, 2021, the Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are 
reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on the Company’s financial condition, changes in  net 
sales  or  expenses,  results  of  operations,  liquidity,  capital  expenditures,  or  capital  resources  that  are 
material, other than the following:  

During the year ended August 31, 2021, the Company entered into a ten-year lease for a 110,000 square-
foot manufacturing center located in Ontario with two renewal options of five years. As at August 31, 2021, 
the Company did not have access to the asset and therefore the facility was not reflected as a right-of-use 
asset and no corresponding lease liability was recorded. Fixed rent payments represent a total commitment 
of $16 million over the term of the leases.  

During the year ended August 31, 2020, the Company signed a ten-year lease for a 200,000 square-foot 
fulfillment centre located in the Greater Toronto Area, Ontario,  Canada with two renewal options of five 
years. As at August 31, 2021, the Company did not have access to the asset and therefore, the facility was 
not reflected as a right-of-use asset and no corresponding lease liability was recorded. Fixed rent payments 
represent a total commitment of $34 million over the term of the lease. 

Subsequent to August 31, 2021, the Company entered into a 7-year lease for a Montreal fulfillment facility. 
Fixed rent payments represent a total commitment of $3.0 million over the term of the lease.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS 

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to 
make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, net 
sales and expenses and accompanying disclosures. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates 
could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities 
affected  in  future  periods.  These  assumptions  and  estimates  are  regularly  reviewed.  Revisions  to 
accounting estimates are recognized in the year in which the estimates are revised and in any future years 
affected.  

The Company’s main judgements, estimates, and assumptions are presented below: 

4.1 

ECONOMIC CONDITIONS AND UNCERTAINTIES 

The  COVID-19  pandemic  has  had  an  impact  on  Goodfood’s  overall  business  and  operations  and  has 
resulted  in  different  levels  of  restrictions  by  government  authorities.  As  an  essential  service  in  Canada, 
Goodfood has been operating throughout the pandemic and implemented increased safety protocols at its 
locations to ensure the safety of its employees. The Company experienced an acceleration of growth in 
demand. Pressure on supply chains, inventory levels and increased operational costs or disruptions and 
labour shortages could increase depending on the duration and severity of the pandemic as well as any 
changes  to  Goodfood’s  industry  regulatory  framework.  The  magnitude,  duration,  and  severity  of  the  
COVID-19 pandemic are difficult to predict and could affect the significant estimates and judgements used 
in the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Further details on the impact of the 
pandemic and measures implemented can be found in the “The financial outlook” and “Key highlights of 
Fiscal 2021 and subsequent events” sections of the MD&A. 

4.2 

CRITICAL JUDGEMENTS 

Impairments of long-lived assets 

At each reporting date, management determines whether fixed assets, right-of-use assets and intangible 
assets present indicators of impairment. For the purposes of its analysis, management uses its judgement 
considering factors such as the economic environment and the market in which the Company operates, 
budget, forecasts and physical obsolescence.

Net  sales  are  presented  net  of  refunds,  sales  incentives  and  credits,  including  referral  credits.  Credit 
amounts are estimated based on the Company’s history and experience of the redemption percentage of 
those credits. The corresponding estimated liability for credits is included in deferred revenue. 

Deferred income taxes 

Deferred tax assets are recognized for unused tax losses and other deductible temporary differences to the 
extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which  tax attributes can be realized. 
Significant management judgement is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be 
recognized,  based  upon  the  likely  timing  and  the  level  of  future  taxable  profits,  together  with  future  tax 
planning strategies. The Company has determined that it is not yet probable that deferred tax assets on the 
tax losses carried forward and other temporary differences will be realized and has recognized deferred tax 
assets to the extent of recognized deferred tax liabilities. 

Leases 

Estimate of the lease term 

When the Company recognizes a lease, it assesses the lease term based on the conditions of the lease 
and assesses whether it will exercise renewal options at the end of the lease term. The renewal options 
are only included in the lease term if management is reasonably certain to renew. This significant estimate 
could affect the Company’s financial position if the lease term of the leases is reassessed differently. 

37 | P a g e  

 
Discount rate  

In determining the carrying amount of the right-of-use assets and lease obligations, the Company generally 
uses its incremental borrowing rate ("IBR"), since the implicit rates are often not readily available due to 
information not being available from the lessor regarding the fair value of underlying assets and direct costs 
incurred  by  the  lessor  related  to  the  leased  assets.  The  IBR  for  each  lease  was  determined  on  the 
commencement date of the lease. 

CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

NEW AND AMENDED STANDARDS ADOPTED BY THE COMPANY 

Amendment to Cloud Computing Arrangements 

In April 2021, the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”) finalized an agenda 
decision which clarified the customer’s accounting for configuration and customization in a cloud computing 
arrangement. As a result of this decision, the Company changed its accounting policy for costs incurred on 
cloud computing arrangements with retrospective application.  

As a result of this change, the Company will now expense configuration and testing costs related to certain 
cloud computing arrangements. The impact of changing this accounting policy, on a retrospective basis, to 
the Company’s consolidated statements of loss for the years ended August 31, is as follows:  

(In thousands of Canadian dollars) 

Decrease in depreciation and amortization  
Increase in selling, general and administrative expense 
Increase in net loss 
Increase in basic and diluted loss per share

In addition, intangible assets of $1.5 million were derecognized as of August 31, 2020 for which $0.3 million 
related to prior period. Opening deficit for the year-ended August 31, 2020 was restated by an increase of 
$0.3 million and opening deficit  for the year-ended August 31,2021 was restated by an increase of $1.5 
million. 

Amendments to IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements and IAS 8, Accounting Policies, Changes in 
Estimates and Errors 

In October 2018, the IASB issued an amendment to IAS 1 and IAS 8 to clarify the definition of ‘material’ 
and  to  align  the  definition  used  in  the  Conceptual  Framework  and  the  standards  themselves.  The 
amendments were adopted on September 1, 2020. The adoption of these amendments had no material 
impact on the consolidated financial statements. 

STANDARDS ISSUED BUT NOT YET EFFECTIVE 

Amendment to IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements 

In  January  2020,  the  IASB  issued  an  amendment  to  clarify  how  to  classify  debt  and  other  liabilities  as 
current or non-current. The amendments help to determine whether, in the statement of financial position, 
debt and other liabilities with an uncertain settlement date should be classified as current (due or potentially 
due to be settled within one year) or non-current. The amendments also include clarifying the classification 
requirements for debt an entity might settle by converting it into equity. For the Company, the amendments 
are effective for fiscal period beginning on September 1, 2023 and are to be applied retrospectively. Earlier 
application  is  permitted.  The  Company  is  currently  evaluating  the  impact  of  the  amendment  on  its 
consolidated financial statements.

DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES AND INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL 
REPORTING 

In accordance with National Instrument 52-109 Certification of Disclosure in Issuers’ Annual and Interim 
Filings, the Company has filed certificates signed by the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial 
Officer (“Certifying Officers”) that, among other things, report on the design and effectiveness of disclosure 
controls  and  procedures  (“DC&P”)  and  the  design  and  effectiveness  of  internal  control  over  financial 
reporting. 

DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES 

The Company has designed DC&P to provide reasonable assurance that material information relating to 
the Company is made known to the Certifying Officers, and that information required to be  disclosed to 
satisfy the Company’s continuous disclosure obligations is recorded, processed, summarized and reported 
within the time periods specified by applicable Canadian securities legislation. 

Management, under the supervision of the Certifying Officers, has evaluated the effectiveness of the DC&P 
and based on that evaluation, the Certifying Officers have concluded that the DC&P were effective as at 
August 31, 2021. 

CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING  

No  changes  were  made  during  the  fiscal  year  2021  to  the  Company’s  internal  controls  over  financial 
reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal 
controls over financial reporting.

2. 

BASIS OF PREPARATION 

2.1 

STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE 

The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with International 
Financial  Reporting  Standards  ("IFRS")  as  issued  by  the  International  Accounting  Standards  Board 
("IASB"). Details of the Company’s accounting policies are included in Note 3. 

The consolidated financial statements of the Company for the years ended August 31, 2021 and 2020 were 
for  publication  on  
authorized  by 
November 17, 2021. 

the  Board  of  Directors  ("Board")  on  November  16,  2021 

2.2 

BASIS OF MEASUREMENT 

The  consolidated  financial  statements  have  been  prepared  on  the  historical  cost  basis  except  for  the 
following: 

• 

financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss; 

•  equity share-based payment arrangements which are measured at fair value at grant date; and 

• 

lease  obligations,  which  are  measured  at  the  present  value  of  minimum  lease  payments  at  lease 
inception. 

2.3 

FUNCTIONAL AND PRESENTATION CURRENCY 

The  consolidated  financial  statements  are  stated  in  Canadian  dollars,  which  is  the  functional  and 
presentation currency of Goodfood Market Corp. 

3. 

3.1 

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES  

BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION 

The  consolidated  financial  statements  of  the  Company  include  the  accounts  of  the  Company  and  of  its 
wholly owned subsidiaries. 

Subsidiaries 

A subsidiary is an entity controlled by the Company. Control is achieved where the Company has power 
over the  investee,  exposure or rights to variable returns from  its involvement with the investee, and the 
ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of these returns. The Company reassesses 
whether it controls an entity if facts and circumstances indicate that one or more of the aforementioned 
points have changed. A subsidiary is consolidated from the date the Company obtains control and continues 
to be consolidated until the date that such control ceases.

GOODFOOD MARKET CORP. 
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements – August 31, 2021 
(Unless otherwise stated, all tabular amounts are in thousands of Canadian dollars) 

3.2 

REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS 

Revenue from the sale of goods is measured at the fair value of consideration received, net of refunds, 
sales  incentives  and  credits.  Revenue  is  recognized  at  a  point  in  time,  which  is  upon  delivery  of  meal 
solutions,  as  it  meets  the  criteria  to  satisfy  the  performance  obligation.  Sales  and  referral  credits  are 
recognized as revenue upon redemption and when the Company fulfills its obligation. Deferred revenue is 
recognized for consideration received in advance of the related revenue. Sales and referral credits are also 
included in deferred revenue and are measured based on the fair value of the sales and referral credits 
granted, taking into consideration the estimated redemption percentage.  

3.3 

TAXES 

Income  tax  expense  comprises  current  and  deferred  income  taxes.  It  is  recognized  in  the  consolidated 
statements of loss except to the extent that it relates to a business combination, or items recognized directly 
in equity or in other comprehensive loss.  

Current income tax 

Current tax comprises the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the years 
and any adjustment to the tax payable or receivable in respect of previous years. The amount of current 
tax payable or receivable is the best estimate of the tax amount expected to be paid or received that reflects 
uncertainty related to income taxes, if any. It is measured using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted 
at the reporting date. Current tax assets and liabilities are offset only if certain criteria are met. 

Deferred income tax 

Deferred income tax is recognized in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of 
assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred 
income  tax  assets  are  recognized  for  unused  tax  losses,  unused  tax  credits  and  deductible  temporary 
differences to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they 
can be used. Deferred income tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent 
that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized; such reductions are reversed when 
the probability of future taxable profits improves. Unrecognized deferred income tax assets are reassessed 
at each reporting date and recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits 
will be available against which they can be used. 

Deferred income tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences 
when they reverse, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. 

The measurement of deferred income tax reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner 
in which the Company expects, at the reporting date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets 
and liabilities. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset only if certain criteria are met. 

3.4 

FINANCE INCOME AND FINANCE COSTS 

Finance  income  comprises  of  interest  income  and  foreign  exchange  gains.  Finance  costs  comprise  of 
interest expense on debt, lease obligations, convertible debentures, foreign exchange losses and changes 
in  fair  value  of  interest  rate  swaps.  The  Company  classifies  interests  paid  as  financing  activities  and 
interests received as investing activities in the Company’s consolidated statements of cash flows.  

3.5 

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS 

Cash  and  cash  equivalents  is  comprised  of  cash  held  in  financial  institutions,  outstanding  deposits  and 
short-term  deposits  with  a  maturity  of  three  months  or  less,  which  are  subject  to  an  insignificant  risk  of 
changes in value.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements – August 31, 2021 
(Unless otherwise stated, all tabular amounts are in thousands of Canadian dollars) 

3.6 

INVENTORIES 

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The cost of inventories is determined 
using the first-in, first-out method. Cost includes acquisition costs net of discounts, and other costs incurred 
to bring inventories to their present location and condition. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price 
in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated selling expenses.  

3.7 

RESTRICTED CASH 

Restricted cash is cash where specific restrictions exist on the Company’s ability to use this cash. Restricted 
cash consists primarily of cash held as collateral, which is subject to the terms of the financing agreement 
(refer to Note 17).  

3.8 
3.8.1  

FIXED ASSETS 

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT 

Fixed  assets  are  recognized  at  cost  less  accumulated  depreciation  and  any  accumulated  impairment 
losses. Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to acquiring and bringing the assets to a 
working condition for their intended use, as well as directly attributable payroll and consulting costs.  

When components of a fixed asset have materially different useful lives, they are accounted for separately.  

Gains and losses on disposal of a fixed asset are determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal 
with the carrying amount and are recognized in the consolidated statements of loss. 

3.8.2  

SUBSEQUENT EXPENDITURE 

The cost of replacing a fixed asset is recognized in the carrying amount of the item if it is probable that the 
future economic benefits embodied within the part will flow to the Company and its cost can be measured 
reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognized. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of 
property and equipment are recognized in the consolidated statements of loss as incurred. 

3.8.3  

DEPRECIATION 

Depreciation  is  calculated  over  the  cost  of  the  asset  less  its  residual  value  and  is  recognized  in  the 
consolidated statements of loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each part of  a 
fixed asset, since this most closely reflects  the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic 
benefits embodied in the asset. Assets under construction are not depreciated and reflect the cost of fixed 
assets,  which  are  not  yet  available  for  their  intended  use.  Assets  under  construction  will  start  to  be 
depreciated when they are available for their intended use. Estimates for depreciation methods, useful lives 
and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.  

Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, as follows: 

Asset 

Furniture and fixtures 
Machinery and equipment 
Computer hardware and other 
Leasehold improvements

At  inception of a contract,  the  Company assesses whether a contract is,  or contains, a lease  based on 
whether  the  contract  conveys  the  right  to  control  the  use  of  an  identified  asset  for  a  period  of  time  in 
exchange for consideration.

Right-of-use asset 

The Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and a  lease obligation at the lease commencement date. 
The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease obligation 
adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs 
incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove or to restore the underlying asset or the site on 
which it is located, less any lease incentives received.  

The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated from the commencement date to the earlier of the end 
of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term using the straight-line method. The 
lease term includes consideration of an option to renew or to terminate if the Company is reasonably certain 
to  exercise  that  option.  Lease  terms,  including  options  to  renew  for  which  the  Company  is  reasonably 
certain to exercise, range from 0 to 11 years for facilities, automotive equipment and other equipment. In 
addition, the right-of-use asset is periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain 
remeasurements of the lease obligation.  

Lease obligation 

The lease obligation is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the 
commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily 
determined,  the  Company’s  incremental  borrowing  rate.  Generally,  the  Company  uses  its  incremental 
borrowing rate as the discount rate. The Company determines its incremental borrowing rate by obtaining 
interest rates from external financing sources and makes certain adjustments to  reflect the terms of the 
lease and the type of the asset leased.  

Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease obligation comprise of fixed payments (including 
in-substance fixed payments), the exercise price under a purchase option that the Company is reasonably 
certain to exercise, and lease payments in an optional renewal period if the Company is reasonably certain 
to exercise a renewal option.  

The lease obligation is subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. It is 
remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising mainly if the Company changes its 
assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase, renewal or termination option, or if there is a revised in-
substance fixed lease payment.  

When the lease obligation is remeasured in this way, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying 
amount of the right-of-use asset, or is recorded in the consolidated statements of loss if the carrying amount 
of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero. 

3.10 

INTANGIBLE ASSETS 

3.10.1   RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT 

Intangible assets that have finite useful lives are measured at cost less accumulated amortization and any 
accumulated impairment losses. Intangible assets include the cost of software tools and licenses as well 
as directly attributable payroll and consulting costs. 

3.10.2   SUBSEQUENT EXPENDITURE 

Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the 
specific asset to which it relates. All other expenditure is recognized in the consolidated statements of loss 
as incurred.  

3.10.3   AMORTIZATION 

Amortization is recognized in the consolidated statements of loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated 
useful lives of the finite life of intangible assets.  Intangible assets in development are not amortized and 
reflect  the  cost  of  developing  the  intangible  asset,  which  are  not  yet  available  for  their  intended  use. 
Intangible assets in development will start to be amortized when they are available for their intended use.

GOODFOOD MARKET CORP.

The estimated useful lives for the current year and comparative periods are as follows: 

Asset 

Software 
Intellectual property 

Period 

         3 to 5 years 
              5 years 

Amortization methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting  date and adjusted 
prospectively, if appropriate. 

3.11 

IMPAIRMENT OF NON-FINANCIAL ASSETS 

The Company reviews the carrying amount of its non-financial assets, which include intangible assets with 
a  finite  useful  life,  fixed  assets  and  right-of-use  assets  on  each  reporting  date,  in  order  to  determine  if 
specific events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable.  

For  impairment  testing  purposes,  assets  that  cannot  be  tested  individually  are  aggregated  into  a  cash 
generating unit ("CGU"). An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset or a CGU 
exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs 
to sell and its value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to 
their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value 
of  money  and  the  risks  specific  to  the  asset.  Impairment  losses  are  recognized  in  the  consolidated 
statements of loss. 

3.12 

GOVERNMENT GRANTS 

Government grants are recognized only when the Company has reasonable assurance that it meets the 
conditions  and  will  receive  the  grants.  Government  grants  related  to  assets,  including  investment  tax 
credits, are recognized in the consolidated statements of financial position as a deduction from the carrying 
amount  of  the  related  asset.  They  are  then  recognized  in  the  consolidated  statements  of  loss  over  the 
estimated useful life of the depreciable asset that the grants were used to acquire, as a deduction from the 
depreciation expense. 

Other government grants are recognized in the consolidated statements of loss as a deduction from the 
related expenses. 

3.13 

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS  

3.13.1   RECOGNITION AND INITIAL MEASUREMENT 

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when the Company becomes party to the contractual 
provisions of the financial instrument. 

A  financial  asset  or  financial  liability  is  initially  measured  at  fair  value  plus,  for  an  item  not  at  fair  value 
through profit or loss ("FVTPL"), transaction costs that are directly attributable to its acquisition or issuance. 

3.13.2   CLASSIFICATION AND SUBSEQUENT MEASUREMENT 

Financial assets 

On initial recognition, a financial asset is classified as measured at amortized cost, fair value through other 
comprehensive income ("FVOCI") – debt investment, FVOCI – equity investment, or FVTPL.  

Amortized cost 

A  financial  asset  is  measured  at  amortized  cost  if  it  meets  both  of  the  following  conditions  and  is  not 
designated as FVTPL:  

 

It is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; 
and

GOODFOOD MARKET CORP. 
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements – August 31, 2021 
(Unless otherwise stated, all tabular amounts are in thousands of Canadian dollars) 

 

Its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and 
interest on the principal amount outstanding. 

Debt investment  

A debt investment is measured at FVOCI if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated 
at FVTPL:  

 

 

It is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows 
and selling financial assets, and  

Its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and 
interest on the principal amount outstanding.  

Equity investment 

On initial recognition of an equity investment that is not held for trading, the Company may irrevocably elect 
to present subsequent changes in the investment’s fair value in Other Comprehensive Loss. This election 
is done on an investment by investment basis. 

All financial assets not classified as measured at amortized cost or FVOCI are measured at FVTPL. The 
Company has not designated any financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and does not have any 
financial assets at FVOCI. 

Financial  assets  at  amortized  costs  are  subsequently  measured  at  amortized  cost  using  the  effective 
interest method. The amortized cost is reduced by impairment losses. Interest income, foreign exchange 
gains and losses and impairment are recognized in the consolidated statements of loss. Any gain or loss 
on derecognition is recognized in the consolidated statements of loss. 

Financial liabilities 

Financial liabilities are classified and measured as amortized cost or FVTPL. A financial liability is classified 
as  FVTPL  if  it  is  classified  as  held-for-trading,  it  is  a  derivative  or  it  is  designated  as  such  on  initial 
recognition.  Financial  liabilities  at  FVTPL  are  measured  at  fair  value  and  net  gains  and  losses  are 
recognized in the consolidated statements of loss. Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at 
amortized  cost  using  the  effective  interest  method.  Finance  expense  is  recognized  in  the  consolidated 
statements of loss. 

3.13.3  DERECOGNITION 

Financial assets 

The Company derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset 
expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows of the financial asset in a transaction 
in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred or in which 
the Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and it does 
not retain control of the financial asset. 

On derecognition of a financial asset, the difference between the carrying amount of the financial asset and 
the sum of the consideration received or receivable is recognized in the consolidated statements of loss. 

Financial liabilities 

The Company derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged, cancelled, 
or expire. The Company also derecognizes a financial liability when its terms are modified and the cash 
flows of the modified liability are substantially different, in which case a new financial liability based on the 
modified terms is recognized at fair value. 

55 | P a g e  

 
 
GOODFOOD MARKET CORP. 
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements – August 31, 2021 
(Unless otherwise stated, all tabular amounts are in thousands of Canadian dollars) 

On derecognition of a financial liability, the difference between the carrying amount extinguished and the 
consideration paid (including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed) is recognized in the 
consolidated statements of loss. 

3.13.4   OFFSETTING 

Financial  assets  and  financial  liabilities  are  offset  and  the  net  amount  is  reported  in  the  consolidated 
statements of financial position if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognized amounts 
and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously. 

3.13.5  

IMPAIRMENT 

The  Company  recognizes  expected  credit  losses  and  changes  in  such  losses  at  each  reporting  date  to 
reflect changes in credit risk since the initial recognition of the financial assets.  The expected credit losses 
identified were not significant. 

3.13.6   FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT 

In establishing the fair value, the Company uses a fair value hierarchy based on levels as defined below: 

Level 1: defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets. 

Level 2: defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly 
observable. 

Level 3: defined as inputs that are based on little or no observable market data and, therefore, requiring 
entities to develop their own assumptions. 

3.13.7 

INTEREST RATE SWAP AGREEMENTS 

The Company’s swap agreement is measured at fair value with gains and losses in fair value presented in 
net finance costs in the Company’s consolidated statements of loss.  

3.13.8  CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES 
Convertible debentures are measured at amortized cost, using the effective interest rate method. They are 
initially measured at fair value, which is the consideration received, net of transaction costs incurred, net of 
the  equity  component.  Transactions  costs  related  to  those  instruments  are  included  in  the  value  of  the 
instruments  and  amortized  using  the  effective  interest  rate  method.  The  effective  interest  expense  is 
included in net finance costs in the consolidated statements of loss. 

The  component  parts  of  compound  instruments  issued  by  the  Company  are  classified  separately  as 
financial liabilities and equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement. At the date 
of issuance, the fair value of the liability is measured separately using an estimated market rate for a similar 
liability  without  an  equity  component  and  the  residual  is  allocated  to  the  conversion  option.  The  liability 
component is subsequently recognized on an amortized cost basis using the effective interest method until 
extinguished upon conversion or at the instrument’s maturity date. The equity component is recognized and 
included in equity, without being subsequently remeasured. In addition, the conversion option classified as 
equity will remain in equity until the conversion option is exercised, in which case, the  portion recognized 
in equity will be transferred to common shares. Issuance costs are divided between the liability and equity 
components in proportion to their respective values. 

On the early redemption or repurchase of convertible debentures, the Company allocates the consideration 
paid on extinguishment to the liability based on its fair value at the date of the transaction and the residual 
is allocated to the conversion option. Any resulting gain or loss relating to the liability element is credited or 
charged to the consolidated statements of loss and the difference between the carrying amount and the 
amount considered to be settled relating to the holder option is treated as a common share transaction.

3.14 

PROVISIONS 

A provision is recognized if, as a result of a past event, the Company has a present legal or constructive 
obligation  that  can  be  estimated  reliably,  and  it  is  probable  that  an  outflow  of  economic  benefits  will  be 
required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows 
at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific 
to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognized as net finance costs.  

Contingent liability  

A  contingent  liability  is  a  possible  obligation  that  arises  from  past  events  and  whose  existence  will  be 
confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not within the 
control of the Company, or a present obligation that arises from past events (and therefore exists), but is 
not recognized because it is not probable that a transfer or use of assets, provision of services or any other 
transfer of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, or the amount of the obligation cannot 
be estimated reliably. 

3.15 

SHORT-TERM EMPLOYEE BENEFITS 

Short-term employee benefits are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related 
service is provided. A liability is recognized for the amount expected to be paid if the Company has a present 
legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee and 
the obligation can be estimated reliably. 

3.16 

SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS  

The Company’s share-based payment plans consist of a stock option plan, a restricted share unit plan and 
an employee share purchase plan. Employees, consultants, officers and directors of the Company receive 
remuneration in the form of share-based payments, whereby employees render services as consideration 
for equity instruments (equity-settled transactions). 

The cost of the Company’s stock option plan is determined by the fair value at the date when the grant is 
made using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The cost of the Company’s restricted share unit plan 
is determined based on the volume weighted average trading price of the common shares for the five days 
immediately  preceding  the  grant  date.  The  costs  are  recognized  as  a  share-based  payment  expense, 
together with a corresponding increase in equity (contributed surplus), over the period in which the service 
and the performance conditions are fulfilled (the vesting period). The cumulative expense recognized for 
equity-settled  transactions  at  each  reporting  date  until  the  vesting  date  reflects  the  extent  to  which  the 
vesting  period  has  expired.  The  expense  or  credit  in  the  statements  of  loss  for  a  period  represents  the 
movement in cumulative expense recognized at the beginning and end of that period. 

3.17 

EMPLOYEE SHARE PURCHASE PLAN 

The Company’s contributions, used to purchase shares on the open market on behalf of employees, are 
recognized when incurred as an employee benefit expense, with a corresponding increase in contributed 
surplus. The amount expensed is adjusted to reflect the number of awards for which it is expected that the 
vesting conditions will be me met, so that the amount ultimately expensed will depend on the number of 
awards that meet the vesting conditions at the vesting date. 

Unvested shares held in trust on behalf of employees are treasury shares and, therefore, deducted from 
equity until they become vested. 

3.18 

FOREIGN CURRENCY 

Transactions in foreign currencies are comprised of purchases from foreign suppliers. These transactions 
are  translated  using  the  functional  currency  of  the  Company  at  exchange  rates  at  the  dates  of  the 
transactions. The related payables denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are translated 
to the functional currency at the exchange rates at that date. The resulting foreign currency gains or losses 
are recognized on a net basis within net finance costs in the consolidated statements of loss.

EARNINGS PER SHARE 

Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common 
shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share are computed using the weighted average 
number  of  common  shares  outstanding  during  the  year  adjusted  to  include  the  dilutive  impact  of  stock 
options, unvested shares of the employee share purchase plan (“ESPP”), and convertible debentures.

SEGMENT REPORTING 

The Company determined that it operated a single operating segment for the years ended August 31, 2021 
and 2020. 

4. 

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS  

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to 
make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities,  net 
sales and expenses and accompanying disclosures. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates 
could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities 
affected  in  future  periods.  These  assumptions  and  estimates  are  regularly  reviewed.  Revisions  to 
accounting estimates are recognized in the year in which the estimates are revised and in any future years 
affected.  

The Company’s main judgements, estimates, and assumptions are presented below: 

4.1 

ECONOMIC CONDITIONS AND UNCERTAINTIES 

The  COVID-19  pandemic  has  had  an  impact  on  Goodfood’s  overall  business  and  operations  and  has 
resulted  in  different  levels  of  restrictions  by  government  authorities.  As  an  essential  service  in  Canada, 
Goodfood has been operating throughout the pandemic and implemented increased safety protocols at its 
locations to ensure the safety of its employees. The Company experienced an acceleration of growth in 
demand. Pressure on supply chains, inventory levels and increased operational costs or disruptions and 
labour shortages could increase depending on the duration and severity of the pandemic as well as any 
changes  to  Goodfood’s  industry  regulatory  framework.  The  magnitude,  duration,  and  severity  of  the  
COVID-19 pandemic are difficult to predict and could affect the significant estimates and judgements used 
in the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Further details on the impact of the 
pandemic and measures implemented are provided in Management’s Discussion and Analysis for the year 
ended August 31, 2021. 

4.2 

CRITICAL JUDGEMENTS 

Impairments of long-lived assets 

At each reporting date, management determines whether fixed assets, right-of-use assets and intangible 
assets present indicators of impairment. For the purposes of its analysis, management uses its judgement 
considering factors such as the economic environment and the market in which the Company operates, 
budget, forecasts and physical obsolescence. 

4.3 

KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS 

Measurement of net sales 

Net  sales  are  presented  net  of  refunds,  sales  incentives  and  credits,  including  referral  credits.  Credit 
amounts are estimated based on the Company’s history and experience of the redemption percentage of 
those credits. The corresponding estimated liability for credits is included in deferred revenue. 

Deferred income taxes 

Deferred tax assets are recognized for unused tax losses and other deductible temporary differences to the 
extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which  tax attributes can be realized. 

58 | P a g e  

 
 
GOODFOOD MARKET CORP. 
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements – August 31, 2021 
(Unless otherwise stated, all tabular amounts are in thousands of Canadian dollars) 

Significant management judgement is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be 
recognized,  based  upon  the  likely  timing  and  the  level  of  future  taxable  profits,  together  with  future  tax 
planning strategies. The Company has determined that it is not yet probable that deferred tax assets on the 
tax losses carried forward and other temporary differences will be realized and has recognized deferred tax 
assets to the extent of recognized deferred tax liabilities.  

Leases 

Estimate of the lease term 

When the Company recognizes a lease, it assesses the lease term based on the conditions of the lease 
and assesses whether it will exercise renewal options at the end of the lease term. The renewal options 
are only included in the lease term if management is reasonably certain to renew. This significant estimate 
could affect the Company’s financial position if the lease term of the leases is reassessed differently. 

Discount rate  

In determining the carrying amount of the right-of-use assets and lease obligations, the Company generally 
uses its incremental borrowing rate ("IBR"), since the implicit rates are often not readily available due to 
information not being available from the lessor regarding the fair value of underlying assets and direct costs 
incurred  by  the  lessor  related  to  the  leased  assets.  The  IBR  for  each  lease  was  determined  on  the 
commencement date of the lease. 

5. 

5.1 

CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

NEW AND AMENDED STANDARDS ADOPTED BY THE COMPANY 

Amendment to Cloud Computing Arrangements 

In April 2021, the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”) finalized an agenda 
decision which clarified the customer’s accounting for configuration and customization in a cloud computing 
arrangement. As a result of this decision, the Company changed its accounting policy for costs incurred on 
cloud computing arrangements with retrospective application.  

As a result of this change, the Company will now expense configuration and testing costs related to certain 
cloud computing arrangements. The impact of changing this accounting policy, on a retrospective basis, to 
the Company’s consolidated statements of loss for the years ended August 31, is as follows:  

Decrease in depreciation and amortization  
Increase in selling, general and administrative expense 
Increase in net loss 
Increase in basic and diluted loss per share

In addition, intangible assets of $1.5 million were derecognized as of August 31, 2020 for which $0.3 million 
related to prior period. Opening deficit for the year-ended August 31, 2020 was restated by an increase of 
$0.3 million and opening deficit for the year-ended August 31, 2021 was restated by an increase of $1.5 
million. 

Amendments to IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements and IAS 8, Accounting Policies, Changes in 
Estimates and Errors 

In October 2018, the IASB issued an amendment to IAS 1 and IAS 8 to clarify the definition of ‘material’ 
and  to  align  the  definition  used  in  the  Conceptual  Framework  and  the  standards  themselves.  The 
amendments were adopted on September 1, 2020. The adoption of these amendments had no material 
impact on the consolidated financial statements.

STANDARDS ISSUED BUT NOT YET EFFECTIVE 

Amendment to IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements 

In  January  2020,  the  IASB  issued  an  amendment  to  clarify  how  to  classify  debt  and  other  liabilities  as 
current or non-current. The amendments help to determine whether, in the statement of financial position, 
debt and other liabilities with an uncertain settlement date should be classified as current (due or potentially 
due to be settled within one year) or non-current. The amendments also include clarifying the classification 
requirements for debt an entity might settle by converting it into equity. For the Company, the amendments 
are effective for fiscal period beginning on September 1, 2023 and are to be applied retrospectively. Earlier 
application  is  permitted.  The  Company  is  currently  evaluating  the  impact  of  the  amendment  on  its 
consolidated financial statements.

The Company has operating tax losses carried forward of $53.8 million (2020 – $32.1 million) which are 
partially  recognized  for  an  amount  of  $1.2  million  (2020  –  $3.9  million),  and  unrecognized  deductible 
temporary differences of $18.8 million (2020 – $8.6 million) that are available to reduce taxable income.

CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES 

On February 26, 2020, the Company issued 30,000 convertible unsecured subordinated debentures (the 
"Debentures") at a price of $1 thousand per Debenture for gross proceeds of $30 million. The Debentures 
mature on March 31, 2025 (the "Maturity Date") and bear a fixed interest rate of 5.75% per annum, payable 
semi-annually  in  arrears  on  March  31  and  September  30  of  each  year,  which  commenced  on  
September 30, 2020.  

The Debentures are convertible into common shares of the Company at the option of the holder at any time 
prior to the close of business on the earlier of the last business day immediately preceding the Maturity 
Date and the last business day immediately preceding the date specified for redemption by the Company 
at a price of $4.70 (the "Conversion Price") per common share. 

On or after March 31, 2023, and prior to March 31, 2024, provided that the volume weighted average trading 
price of the Company’s common shares on the TSX for the 20 consecutive trading days preceding the date 
on which the notice of redemption is given is not less than 125% of the Conversion Price, the Debentures 
may be redeemed in whole or in part at the option of the Company at a price equal to the principal amount 
thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest. On or after March 31, 2024, and prior to the Maturity Date, the 
Debentures may be redeemed in whole or in part at the option of the Company at a price equal to their 
principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest.  

In the event of a change in control, the Company will be required to make a payment to the holders of the 
Debentures  in  accordance  with  the  make-whole  premium  provisions  set  forth  by  the  indenture  of  the 
Debentures.  

The  conversion  option,  net  of  related  issuance  costs  and  deferred  income  taxes,  has  been  recorded  in 
shareholders’ equity for an amount of $3.7 million. Factoring in the Debentures issuance costs, the effective 
interest rate on the Debentures is 11.76%. 

During the year ended August 31, 2021, 11,284 Debentures (2020 – 11,864) were converted into common 
shares of the Company, resulting in the issuance of 2,400,819 (2020 – 2,524,242) common shares and the 
Company reclassified $9.0 million (2020 – $9.3 million) and $1.9 million (2020 – $2.0 million), respectively 
(Refer  to  Note  20)  from  the  convertible  debentures  liability  to  common  shares  and  from  the  equity 
component of the convertible debentures to common shares. A deferred income tax expense of $0.5 million 
(2020 – recovery $0.8 million) was recognized upon conversion of the Debentures  for the period ended 
August 31, 2021. As at August 31, 2021, 6,852 Debentures were outstanding (2020 – 18,136 Debentures).

SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS 

The Company’s share-based payment plans consist of a stock option plan, a restricted share unit plan and 
an employee share purchase plan.  

STOCK OPTION PLAN 

A  stock  option  plan  (the  "Stock  Option  Plan")  was  established  by  the  Company  to  attract  and  retain 
employees, consultants, officers and directors. The Stock Option Plan provides for the granting of options 
to purchase common shares where at any given time the number of stock options reserved for issuance is 
equal  to  10%  of  the  Company’s  issued  and  outstanding  common  shares,  less  any  shares  reserved  for 
issuance under the restricted share unit plan. Under the Stock Option Plan, options generally vest over a 
period of three or four years and expire eight years from the grant date.

During the year ended August 31, 2021, an expense of $2.8 million (2020 – $1.9 million), including fringe 
benefits related to stock options exercised of $0.6 million (2020 – nil), was recorded in the consolidated 
statements of loss in relation to the Stock Option Plan. 

RESTRICTED SHARE UNIT PLAN 

In September 2020, the Company adopted a restricted share unit plan (the "RSU Plan") to reward certain 
employees,  officers  and  directors  of  the  Company  (the  "Participants").  The  RSU  Plan  was  approved  in 
January  2021.  Following  the  implementation  of  the  RSU  Plan,  the  Company  granted  to  Participants  a 
number  of  restricted  share  units  ("RSUs")  based  on  the  volume  weighted  average  trading  price  of  the 
common shares for the five days immediately preceding the grant date. The expense in relation to the RSU 
Plan is measured at the fair value of the underlying RSU at the grant date and is expensed over the award's 
vesting period. The RSU Plan provides for a maximum number of common shares available and reserved 
for issuance to 10% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common shares, less any shares reserved 
for issuance under the Stock Option Plan. The RSUs are time-based awards and one third of the amount 
of RSUs granted will vest upon the continuous employment of the Participants on each of the anniversaries 
of the RSU grant, over a period of three years starting from the date of the grant or such other period not 
exceeding three years as determined by the Board.  

Pursuant to the terms of the RSU Plan, Participants will receive, upon vesting of the RSUs, common shares 
of the Company issued from treasury.  

The following table summarizes the continuity of the RSUs during the year ended August 31:

EMPLOYEE SHARE PURCHASE PLAN 

On September 1, 2019, the Company implemented an employee share purchase plan ("ESPP") to attract 
and retain employees and  directors. Under this plan,  employees or directors are  permitted to contribute 
between  1%  and  5%  of  their  eligible  earnings,  up  to  $10,000  annually,  to  purchase  Company’s  equity 
shares. The Company, in turn, provides a matching contribution equal to 50% of the participant’s personal 
contribution.  Shares  purchased  with  the  Company’s  contributions  become  vested  two  years  from  the 
contribution date. All contributions are used by the plan’s trustee to purchase  equity shares on the open 
market, on behalf of employees. 

The following table summarizes the continuity of the ESPP during the years ended August 31:

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS 

Goodfood has determined that the fair value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts and other receivables, 
restricted  cash,  line  of  credit,  and  accounts  payable  and  accrued  liabilities  approximate  their  respective 
carrying amounts at the consolidated statements of financial position date, due to the short-term maturity 
of those instruments.  

Goodfood determined that the fair value of its long-term debt and Debentures approximates their carrying 
amount as they bear interest at market interest rates for financial instruments with similar terms and risks. 

The Company determined the valuation of its Debentures at issuance using Level 3 inputs. 

The fair value of the interest rate swap as at August 31, 2021 and 2020 was estimated using Level 2 inputs. 

25. 

FINANCIAL RISKS 

Credit risk: 

Credit  risk  is  the  risk  of  an  unexpected  loss  if  a  counterparty  to  a  financial  instrument  fails  to  meet  its 
contractual obligation. The Company regularly monitors credit risk exposure and takes steps to mitigate the 
likelihood of this exposure resulting in losses. The Company's exposure to credit risk is primarily attributable 
to  its  cash  and  cash  equivalents  and  accounts  and  other  receivables.  The  Company's  maximum  credit 
exposure corresponds to the carrying amount of these financial assets. Management believes the credit 
risk  is  limited  given  that  the  Company  deals  with  major  North  American  financial  institutions  and  an 
internationally established payment processor. 

Interest rate risk: 

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due 
to changes in market interest rates. The Company’s long-term debt and revolving facility bear interest at 
variable  rates  which  are  determined  by  a  base  rate  set  by  the  lender  plus  a  margin.  As  a  result,  the 
Company is exposed to interest rate cash flow risk due to fluctuations in lenders’ base rates. The Company 
manages its interest rate risk by using a variable-to-fixed interest rate swap as described in Note 17. As 
interest  rates  on  Debentures  are  fixed,  the  Company  is  not  exposed  to  interest  rate  risk  on  those 
instruments. 

The Company does not account for any fixed-rate financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through 
profit or loss and does not designate derivatives (interest rate swaps) as hedging instruments under a fair 
value  hedge  accounting  model.  Therefore,  a  change  in  interest  rates  at  the  reporting  date  would  not 
significantly impact the fair value of the interest rate swaps and consequently, the Company’s net loss.

GOODFOOD MARKET CORP. 
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements – August 31, 2021 
(Unless otherwise stated, all tabular amounts are in thousands of Canadian dollars) 

Sensitivity analysis for interest rate risk 

An increase or decrease of 100 basis points in the interest rate would not have a significant impact on the 
Company’s net loss. 

Liquidity risk: 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will be unable to fulfill its obligations on a timely basis or at a 
reasonable  cost.  The  Company  manages  its  liquidity  risk  by  monitoring  its  operating  requirements.  The 
Company prepares budgets and cash forecasts to ensure it has sufficient funds to fulfill its obligations.  

Capital management 

The  Company's  objective  in  managing  its  capital  structure  is  to  ensure  a  sufficient  liquidity  position  to 
finance its operations, to maximize the preservation of capital and to deliver competitive returns on invested 
capital. To fund its activities, the Company has relied on public and private placements of equity securities, 
convertible debentures, cash flows provided by operating activities and short-term or long-term debt, which 
are included in the Company's definition of capital. The Company manages its excess cash to ensure that 
it has sufficient reserves to fund its operations and capital expenditures.
