MESSAGE TO
SHAREHOLDERS

Dear fellow Shareholders,

Goodfood has seen its fair share of challenges this year. From 
consumer behaviour moving away from e-commerce purchases, a 
behaviour that we do believe is temporary in nature, to tough capital 
markets          conditions on the back of macroeconomic forces not seen 
in over forty years, we have faced headwinds that have made Fiscal 
2022 Goodfood’s most difficult year since its inception in 2014.

A DIFFICULT YEAR

After   two   years   of   strong   growth   and   profitability   driven   by   
the   quality   of   our   offering   and   further  accelerated   by   
pandemic-driven   restrictions,   Fiscal   2022   has   been   marked   by   
the   re-opening   of  economies and consumer behaviour shifting 
away from e-commerce as a whole. This change drove lower  sales   
and   volume   de-leverage,   affecting   our   cost   structure   and   
materially   negatively   impacting   our  financial results. Combined 
with inflation and our significant investments in on-demand delivery, 
lower volumes translated into lower gross margin, Adjusted EBITDA1 
and cash flows. 

The tough conditions faced this year should not overshadow the 
significant progress made to consistently improve the operating and 
financial performance of the Company quarter after quarter. 
Through Project Blue Ocean, a series of operational and strategic 
initiatives implemented for the most part this year, our gross margin 
improved from 23% in the fourth quarter of last year to 28% in the 
fourth quarter of this year, while our Adjusted EBITDA1 loss was 
improved from $18 million in the Q4 of Fiscal 2021 to $2 million this 
Q4.

BACK TO OUR ROOTS, WITH A TWIST

In  October of  2022, we  announced the  decision to  stop  our  on-demand delivery and  re-focus our 
efforts  on the differentiated weekly subscription offering that has always been the cornerstone of our 
customer value proposition. 

Our rapid on-demand delivery had strong consumer fit, with net promoter scores being consistently 
high. It allowed new and existing Goodfood customers to experience an instant grocery solution 
rivaling trips to     brick-and-mortar  stores.   Due   in   part   to   the   high   attachment   rate   of   our   
meal-kits,   the   on-demand 
changing capital and consumer
decision to discontinue our on-demand
growth.  

          proposition had attractive at-scale economics. However, considering the 
           markets context, we made the difficult but financially responsible 

                 offering, to position the company to return to profitable 

This   decision   does   have   the   silver   lining   of   allowing   us   to   focus   squarely   on   our   weekly   
meal-kit experience.   Our   teams   are   now   fully   focused   and   aligned   on   building   Canada’s   
best   weekly   meal  planning solution. Our culinary team is consistently innovating and delivering 
flavors that spark joy, while our fulfilment teams are continuously working to improve the delivery 
experience and flexibility that will  serve to further enhance our customer value proposition. We are also 
adding depth to our weekly meal  solution offering, by offering a growing selection of Goodfood 
branded add-on products to our customers. Providing a wider offering to complement our meal kits is 
the twist that will drive larger baskets, more frequent orders, and higher retention

While discontinuing our on-demand offering was tough, we are very excited by our re-focused and 
re-energized meal kit offering and our customers are too. We are doubling down on building 
Canada’s most loved millennial food brand through our weekly deliveries and more, creating 
experiences that spark joy while helping our community live longer on a healthier planet.

CASH IS KING: OUR FOCUS IS ON POSITIVE CASH 
FLOWS AND PROFITABILITY

Adjusted EBITDA1 profitability and reaching positive cash flow from 
operations, while building a customer value proposition that will 
provide years of growth are driving all our strategic decisions. 
We established Project Blue Ocean in the Spring of Fiscal 2022 and we 
have implemented the majority of the identified initiatives:

• Ingredients  simplification   with ingredients    sourced declining from 

over 400 to below 200

• Alignment of workforce with scale leading to significant headcount 

reductions

• Footprint   rationalization   leading   to   consolidation   of   production   in 

2  facilities   in   Montreal   and  Calgary

• Reduction   of capital  investments   (capex)
• Meal  kit and  add on products  price  increases

These   initiatives   have   driven   the   substantial   improvements   in   gross   
margin   and   Adjusted   EBITDA1 achieved   this   year.   But   we   will   not   
stop   there.   To   achieve   positive   and   growing   quarterly   Adjusted 
EBITDA1 in the first half of Fiscal 2023, we have taken more important steps, 
namely discontinuing on-demand   grocery   delivery   and   further   
reducing   overhead   costs.   We   currently   expect   to   be   Adjusted 
EBITDA1 positive in the first half of Fiscal 2023.

Our focus on profitability and cash flows has started to bear fruit and 
coupled with our unrelenting focus on continuously improving our 
customer experience remains our top priority. This is our foundation for 
profitable growth for years to come.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis 

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 
52-weeks  ended  September  3,  2022  and  August  31,  2021  and  should  be  read  in  conjunction  with  our 
audited  annual  consolidated  financial  statements  and  the  accompanying  notes  for  the  52-weeks  ended 
September 3, 2022. Please also refer to Goodfood’s press release announcing its results for the 52-weeks 
ended  September  3,  2022  issued  on  December  2,  2022.  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.  

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 
with  comparative  companies  who  are  using  floating  year-ends.  As  a  result,  the  Company  is  following  a             
52-week reporting cycle but will  include  a 53rd  week  every five to six years. For Fiscal 2022,  the  fourth 
quarter ended on September 3, 2022 is comprised of 1 less day compared to the fourth quarter in Fiscal 
2021 and the 52-weeks ended September 3, 2022 is comprised of 3 additional days compared to Fiscal 
2021. For simplicity,  in this transition year, we refer to 13-weeks ended  September 3, 2022 which is 13 
weeks, we refer to 13-weeks ended August 31, 2021 even though it is 13-weeks and one day, we refer to 
52-weeks ended September 3, 2022 which is 52-weeks and four days and we refer to 52-weeks ended 
August 31, 2021 which is 52 weeks and one day.  

The consolidated financial statements for the 52-weeks ended September 3, 2022 have been prepared on 
the basis that the Company will continue as a going concern, which presumes that the Company will be 
able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable 
future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course 
of business. During the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2022, the Company entered into a tolerance letter with its 
lenders as a result of a  failure to meet certain  financial covenants. The  lenders  agreed to tolerate such 
covenant  breaches  under  certain  conditions  which  include  restricting  Goodfood  from  using  the  revolver 
portion of the facility, under which no amount is currently outstanding other than letters of credit. In addition, 
the Company launched its Blue Ocean initiative, a review of its operations and overall business to drive 
efficiencies, return the Company to positive Adjusted EBITDA1 by the first half of 2023 and to form the basis 
for the path to positive cash flow and long-term profitable growth. As part of the Blue Ocean initiative, the 
Company optimized its manufacturing footprint via the consolidation of several facilities throughout Canada 
and the Company shutdown its Goodfood On-Demand offering resulting in the following charges of $46.1 
million  of  impairment  of  non-financial  assets  and  $1.2  million  of  discontinuance  of  products  related  to 
Goodfood On-Demand grocery in the fourth quarter of 2022. The Company’s ability to continue as a going 
concern is dependent on initiatives, including Project Blue Ocean, being realized and/or its ability to secure 
additional financing to meet anticipated cash needs for working capital and capital expenditures as required. 
As a result and in the context of the Blue Ocean initiatives and current status of the Company’s credit facility 
and financing needs, there exists a material uncertainty about the Company's ability to continue as a going 
concern. 

All amounts herein are expressed in Canadian dollars unless otherwise indicated and all references to 2022 
refer to Fiscal 2022 and 2021 refer to Fiscal 2021 unless otherwise indicated.

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 the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2022, the Company added the adjusted gross profit and adjusted gross margin 
metrics to measure performance from one period to the next without the variations that could  potentially 
distort the trends in our operating performance primarily related to the discontinuation of our Goodfood On-
Demand service offering. 

Metrics  
Active 
customers 

Adjusted 
gross profit 

& 

Adjusted 
gross margin 

Definitions 
An active customer is a customer that has placed an order within the last three months. 
Active customers include customers who have placed an order (1) received as part of 
our weekly meal subscription plan, a subscription active customer; and (2) received 
on a next-day, same-day or less basis, an on-demand active customer. 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. 
A  subscription  active  customer  and  an  on-demand  active  customer  should  be 
evaluated independently, as a customer of the Company’s platform can be counted as 
both a subscription active customer and an on-demand active customer. For example, 
this could occur if the customer has made an on-demand order in the three months 
prior to the relevant measurement date and holds a subscription account which has 
not been cancelled on or before the relevant measurement date.  
Pursuant to the Company shutting down its Goodfood On-Demand offering as result 
of Project Blue Ocean, the Company will no longer differentiate active customers as 
subscription active customers or on-demand active customers in future quarters. 

Adjusted  gross  profit  is  defined  as  gross  profit  excluding  the  impact  of  the 
discontinuance of products related to Goodfood On-Demand offering pursuant to the 
Company’s Blue Ocean initiative. Adjusted gross margin is defined as the percentage 
of  adjusted  gross  profit  to  net  sales.  The  Company  uses  adjusted  gross  profit  and 
adjusted  gross  margin  to  measure  its  performance  from  one  period  to  the  next 
excluding  the  variation  caused  by  the  items  described  above.  Adjusted  gross  profit 
and adjusted gross margin are non-IFRS financial measures. We believe that these 
metrics are useful measures of financial performance to assess underlying trends in 
our ongoing operations.  
Please refer to the “Metrics and non-IFRS financial measures – reconciliation” section 
of the MD&A for a reconciliation of these non-IFRS financial measures to  the most 
comparable IFRS financial measures.

EBITDA is defined as net income or loss before net finance costs, depreciation and

discontinuance of products related to Goodfood On-Demand offering, impairment of

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.

Total net

Total net 
(debt) cash to 
total 
capitalization 

Total net (debt) cash is a non-IFRS measure that measures how much total cash the 
Company has after taking into account its total debt. Total cash include cash and cash 
equivalent. Total debt includes the current and long-term portions of the debt as well 
as  the  liability  component  of  the  convertible  debentures.  We  believe  that  total  net 
(debt) cash measure is a useful measure to assess the Company’s overall financial 
position. 
Total net (debt) cash to total capitalization is a non-IFRS measure that is calculated 
as total  net (debt)  cash over total capitalization. Total capitalization is measured as 
total debt plus shareholder’s equity. We believe this non-IFRS financial ratio to be a 
useful measure to assess the Company’s financial leverage.  
Please  refer  to  the  “Liquidity  and  capital  resources”  section  of  the  MD&A  for  a 
reconciliation  of  these  non-IFRS  financial  measures  to  the  most  comparable  IFRS 
financial measure.

plans  and  add-ons  nationally,  providing  approximately  500  Goodfood  branded  products,  as  well  as

FINANCIAL OUTLOOK 

Goodfood’s core purpose is to create experiences that spark joy and help our community live longer on a 
healthier planet. As a food brand with a cult following from Canadians coast to coast, Goodfood is focused 
on growing its brand through our meal solutions including meal kits and prepared meals with a range of 
exciting Goodfood branded add-ons to be explored. 

Meal kits are estimated to have reached over $1 billion dollar in size in Canada as part of the $144 billion 
Canadian Grocery industry, with roughly 8.4% of households subscribed to a meal kit service (see Annual 
Information  Form  for  additional  details).  We  believe  that  consumers’  willingness  to  simplify  their  meal 
planning combined with their desire for joyful and nourishing food experiences at home while reducing food 
waste provides for significant room to increase online food delivery penetration. With a future household 
penetration of 20%, the market for weekly meal plans including meal kits, prepared meals and add-ons in 
Canada could reach approximately $3  billion in the coming years and Goodfood is  ideally  positioned to 
capture a significant share of that market.  

Investing in efficient and highly targeted  marketing strategies to capture  new customers, increase  order 
frequency  and  grow  basket  sizes  through  effective  cross  selling  remains  at  the  forefront  of  Goodfood’s 
near-and-long-term  goals.  The  Company’s  current  focus  however  is  centered  around  growing  Adjusted 
EBITDA1 and cash flows in the coming quarters while continuing to invest in a customer value proposition 
that  will  provide  years  of  profitable  growth.  We  established  Project  Blue  Ocean  to  drive  profitability  and 
have implemented the majority of the identified initiatives: 

Ingredients simplification with ingredients sourced declining from over 400 to below 200 

- 
-  Alignment of workforce with scale leading to significant headcount reductions  
-  Footprint rationalization leading to consolidation of production in 2 facilities in Montreal and Calgary  
-  Reduction of capital investments (capex) 
-  Meal kit and add on products price increases 

These initiatives and the recently announced discontinuation of on-demand are having a positive impact on 
the financial performance of the business. For the first quarter of 2023, in light of the stable demand driven 
by  our  weekly  subscriptions  and  improved  margins,  we  now  expect  net  sales  of  approximately  $46-48 
million and a gross margin in the  32-34% range. Towards the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2023, we 
initiated further selling general and administrative expenses reduction through headcount streamlining and

contract re-negotiations to align our cost-structure to our go-forward operating model. As a result, we are 
reconfirming our expected path to return to positive quarterly Adjusted EBITDA1 in the first half of 2023 with 
continued growth thereafter. 

Despite recent challenges (see the discussions in the ”Basis of Presentation” and ”Capital Management” 
sections of the MD&A including material uncertainty regarding our ability to continue as a going concern), 
our focus on profitability and cash flows has started to bear fruit and, coupled with our unrelenting focus on 
nurturing  our  customer  relationships,  remains  our  top  priority  towards  which  we  continue  to  strive.  The 
Goodfood team is fully focused on building Canada’s most loved millennial food brand. 

FISCAL 2022 AT A GLANCE 

Board of Director Francois Vimard departure 

On October 26, 2022, the Company announced that François Vimard had stepped down as a director of 
the Company to focus on his other Board commitments and to pursue other interests.  

Blue Ocean initiative 

As announced on July 13th, 2022, the Company launched its Blue Ocean initiative, a review of its operations 
and overall business to drive efficiencies, return the Company to positive Adjusted EBITDA1 by the first half 
of 2023 and to form the basis for the path to positive cash flow and long-term profitable growth. As part of 
the Blue Ocean initiative, the Company increased its pricing, simplified its ready-to-cook operations through 
the optimization of its raw ingredient portfolio and optimized its manufacturing footprint via the consolidation 
of  its  breakfast  facility  in  Montreal  into  its  main  production  facility  and  the  consolidation  of  its  British 
Columbia production facility into its Calgary facility. In addition, after a strategic review completed in the 
fourth quarter of 2022, the Company announced on October 14th, 2022, the shutdown of its Goodfood On-
Demand offering and the closing of all its MFCs and its  and a return to a strategy centered on building the 
Goodfood  brand  through  its  weekly  meal  plans  and  add-ons  nationally,  providing  approximately  500 
Goodfood  branded  products,  as  well  as  increasing  flexibility  and  access  to  its  products  over  time.  The 
Company  is  continuing  to  develop  and  implement  additional  cost  savings  measures.  The  result  of  the 
aforementioned resulted in an impairment charge of $46.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2022 as well as a 
charge for the discontinuance of products related to Goodfood On-Demand offering of $1.2 million. 

Appointment of John Khabbaz to our Board of Directors replacing Hamnett Hill 

In April 2022, the Company announced  the  appointment of its  newest  Board of  Directors  member John 
Khabbaz. John Khabbaz is the Founder and Chief Investment Officer of Phoenician Capital, an investment 
management  firm  headquartered  in  New  York  City.  Phoenician’s  mission  is  to  invest  in  high-quality 
businesses built on foundations of strong unit economics and often led by pioneering founders. Mr. Khabbaz 
earned his undergraduate degree from McGill University and then attended Columbia University, where he 
received his MBA. Prior to founding Phoenician Capital in 2007, Khabbaz held leadership roles at a multi-
asset class financial firm. Before that, he was the founder and CEO of a manufacturing business based in 
New York, with global operations spanning three continents.   

$30 million bought deal offering of convertible unsecured debentures 

In  February  2022,  the  Company  completed  a  $30  million  bought  deal  offering  of  convertible  unsecured 
debentures. The Company intended to use the net proceeds from the Offering to accelerate the scaling of 
Goodfood’s on-demand grocery and meal solutions network, through the signing of multiple incremental 
new micro-fulfillment centers leases, fund their required capital expenditures as well as their initial start-up 
and expenses, and for general corporate purposes, as further detailed in the Final short-form prospectus 
dated February 4, 2022. For more detail refer to the “Use of Proceeds from Public Offerings” section of the

Management’s Discussion and Analysis 

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 
with comparative companies who are using floating year-ends. 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 fourth quarter 
ended on September 3, 2022 is comprised of 1 less day compared to the fourth quarter in Fiscal 2021 and 
the year ending September 3, 2022 is comprised of 3 additional days compared to Fiscal 2021.  

Appointment of its Chief Technology Officer 

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.

For the fourth quarter of 2022, adjusted gross margin increased by 7.8 percentage points compared to the 
corresponding period in 2021 mainly due to larger basket sizes, lower credit and incentives as a percentage 
of net sales as well as lower product costs and lower fulfilment costs driven by improved efficiencies partially 
offset by a lower sales base resulting from a shift in customer behaviors driven by post COVID-19 effects 
and the current economic conditions.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis 

For the 52-weeks ended September 3, 2022, adjusted gross margin decreased by 4.8 percentage points 
compared to the corresponding period in 2021 mainly due to a decrease in net sales leading to operating 
de-leverage as well as the timing gap between inflationary pressures across all input costs and subsequent 
price increases.

For the fourth quarter of 2022, adjusted EBITDA margin improved by 18.6 percentage points compared to 
the corresponding period in 2021 mainly driven by stronger adjusted gross margin and lower selling, general 
and administrative expenses resulting in lower marketing expense and lower salary base from Blue Ocean 
initiatives, partly offset by a lower net sales base.  

For  the  52-weeks  ended  September  3,  2022,  adjusted  EBITDA  margin  decreased  by  11.2  percentage 
points compared to the corresponding period in 2021 mainly due to a lower sales base. The lower sales 
were the result of a shift in customer behaviors from post COVID-19 effects as well as the current economic 
conditions  partially  offset  by  a  higher  on-demand  active  customer  base  compared  to  Fiscal  2021.  A 
decrease in gross margin contributed to the lower adjusted EBITDA margin primarily due to a decrease in 
net sales leading to operating de-leverage as well as the timing gap between inflationary pressures across 
all input costs and subsequent price increases. In addition, lower adjusted EBITDA margin can be explained 
mainly  by  higher  wages  and  salaries  as  a  percentage  of  net  sales  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  product  offering  required  to  support  the  Company’s 
Goodfood On-Demand offering as well as marketing spend as a percentage of net sales.

VARIANCE ANALYSIS FOR THE FOURTH QUARTER OF 2022 COMPARED TO FOURTH QUARTER 
OF 2021 

•  Net  sales  decreased  compared  to  the  same  period  last  year  mainly  due  to  the  change  in  customer 
behaviors driven by removal of lock-down restrictions, the increased vaccine coverage as well as the 
current economic conditions partially offset by a higher on-demand active customer base in the fourth 
quarter of Fiscal 2022 compared to the same quarter last year.  

•  The  decrease  in  gross  profit  primarily  resulted  from  a  decrease  in  net  sales.  The  increase  in  gross 
margin was driven by larger basket sizes, lower credit and incentives, lower product costs and lower 
fulfilment costs as a percentage of sales driven by improved efficiencies.   

•  The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses is primarily due to lower marketing spend 
and wages and salaries driven primarily by lower net sales and the Company’s Blue Ocean initiatives. 
Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of  net sales decreased from  47.2% to 
37.4%.  

•  Reorganization  and  other  related  costs  were  incurred  in  the  fourth  quarter  of  Fiscal  2022  mainly 
consisting of  headcount reduction costs and external advisor fees related to  the execution of Project 
Blue Ocean. 

• 

Impairment of non-financial assets incurred in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2022 was primarily related to 
the discontinuation of Goodfood On-Demand and other Blue Ocean initiatives primarily related to closure 
of facilities. 

•  The increase in depreciation and amortization expense is mainly due to the recognition of right-of-use 

assets from new facility lease agreements and related additions of leasehold improvements. 

•  The  increase  in  net  finance  costs  is  mainly  due  to  the  Company’s  $30  million  convertible  debenture 

issued in February 2022 and higher lease obligations compared to the same quarter last year. 

•  The increase in net loss in the fourth quarter of 2022 compared to the same quarter last year is mainly 
due to an impairment of non-financial assets, lower net sales and higher depreciation and amortization 
partly offset by higher gross margin and lower wages and salaries and marketing spend.

VARIANCE ANALYSIS FOR FISCAL 2022 COMPARED TO FISCAL 2021 

•  Net  sales  decreased  year-over-year  mainly  due  to  the  change  in  customer  behaviors  driven  by  the 
removal  of  lock-down  restrictions  and  the  increased  vaccine  coverage  and  the  current  economic 
conditions partially offset by a higher Goodfood On-Demand active customer base during Fiscal 2022.  

•  The decrease in gross profit and gross margin primarily resulted from a decrease in net sales leading to 
operating  de-leverage  as  well  as  the  current  extraordinary  inflationary  pressures,  both  impacting  our 
input costs mainly on food, labour, production and shipping costs. The increase in food costs was also 
driven by the expansion of our private label grocery offering. Higher production costs primarily resulted 
from an increase in production and fulfillment labour due to inflationary increases in wages and operating 
de-leverage.  

•  The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses is primarily due to lower marketing spend 
driven by lower net sales and the Company’s reorganization initiatives, including Project Blue Ocean, to 
align its workforce and marketing spend towards its current net sales base which primarily impacted the 
second half of Fiscal 2022 results. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net 
sales increased from 35.9% to 43.2%, primarily due to volume deleverage and the timing of impacts 
realized from Project Blue Ocean impacting results in the second half of Fiscal 2022.  

•  Reorganization  and  other  related  costs  were  incurred  in  Fiscal  2022  mainly  consisting  of  headcount 

reduction costs and external advisor fees related to the execution of Project Blue Ocean.  

•  The increase in depreciation and amortization expense is mainly due to the recognition of right-of-use 
assets  from  new  facility  lease  agreements  and  related  additions  of  leasehold  improvements  as  the 
Company expanded its product offering of grocery products and the ramp-up of new facilities across 
Canada prior to the strategic review of its strategy which began in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2022. 

• 

Impairment of non-financial assets incurred in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2022 was primarily related to 
the discontinuation of Goodfood On-Demand and other Blue Ocean initiatives mainly related to closure 
of facilities. 

•  The  increase  in  net  finance  costs  is  mainly  due  to  the  Company’s  increase  of  new  facilities  as  the 
Company expanded  its product offering of grocery products and the ramp-up of new facilities across 
Canada as well as the Company’s $30 million convertible debenture issued in February 2022. 

•  A  deferred  income  tax  recovery  was  recognized  due  to  the  issuance  of  $30  million  convertible 

debentures in February 2022.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

previously referenced impairment of non-financial assets, higher depreciation and amortization expense 
as well as higher reorganization and other related costs.

As  a  result  of  the  Company’s  reorganization  plan  and  the  breach  of  certain  financial  covenants,  the 
Company  has  decided  to  close  several  facilities  as  well  as  shut-down  its  on-demand  grocery  product 
offering. This resulted in the following cash generating units (“CGUs") being identified 1) the individual asset 
level, 2) at the leased facility level (including right-of-use asset and fixed assets pertaining to the leased 
premises)  and  3)  the  geographical  area  level  based  on  where  customers  are  served  that  generate 
independent cash inflows. Consequently, the Company performed an impairment test of its non-financial 
assets since it had reason to believe that the carrying amount of the CGUs might not be recoverable.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis 

During the year ended September 3, 2022, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $37.9 million 
on fixed assets, $7.7 million on right-of-use assets and $0.5 million on intangible assets from the following 
CGUs:

When  determining  the  fair  value  less  costs  of  disposal  (“FVLCD”)  of  its  individual  assets,  the  Company 
used  market  inputs  based  on  the  expected  price  the  Company  would  be  able  to  sell  the  asset  for  on  a 
secondary market.  Subsequent to  the impairment test, the individual assets were reclassified as  assets 
held for sale as they met the condition to be classified as such as at September 3, 2022. 

When determining the value in use (“VIU”) of its leased facilities, the Company used a discounted cash flow 
model  in  which  the  main  assumptions  included  the  length  of  time  the  Company  would  expect  to  find  a 
market participant to take over the lease and market rental rates. In addition, the discount rate employed 
for each cash flow projection was determined to be 8% based on capitalization rates according to the market 
in which the facilities are located.

Goodfood’s total net debt was $2.3 million compared to total net cash of $98.6 million last year. This year-
over-year negative variance of $100.9 million drove a decrease in  total (debt) cash to total capitalization 
mainly due to its net loss as well as its investment in capital partially offset by the issuance of convertible 
debentures in February 2022.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis 

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 and convertible debentures, as 
well as short-term or long-term debt.  

The Company entered into a tolerance letter with its lenders as a result of a failure to meet certain financial 
covenants. The lenders agreed to tolerate such covenant breaches under certain conditions which include 
restricting  Goodfood  from  using  the  revolver  portion  of  the  facility,  under  which  no  amount  is  currently 
outstanding or available other than letters of credit. Goodfood is in the process of negotiating the terms of 
a revised credit facility arrangement. In the event that a new credit facility is not in place in the near term, 
the Company would expect to have in place a further extension of the current tolerance letter. There can 
be no assurance as to a credit facility arrangement being put in place in a timely manner, the terms of such 
an arrangement or obtaining a further extension of the current tolerance letter. As a results of the covenant 
breach, a charge of $0.7 million related to external advisor fees was recorded in the fourth quarter of 2022 
in reorganization and other related cost. 

The  Company’s  ability  to  continue  as  a  going  concern  is  dependent  upon  management’s  initiatives, 
including Project Blue Ocean, being realized and/or its ability to secure financing to meet anticipated cash 
needs for working capital and capital expenditures as required. However, there can be no assurance that 
the Company will be able to achieve its stated goals or that it will obtain additional financing or what the 
terms of such financing might be or for what period of time a tolerance letter will remain in place with the 
Company’s lenders. As a result, material uncertainty currently exists with respect to our ability to continue 
as a going concern.  

The following details initiatives completed or ongoing to reduce our liquidity risk: 

-  We continue to work through Blue Ocean initiative to drive efficiencies and return the Company to 
positive Adjusted EBITDA by the first half of 2023 and to form the basis for the path to positive cash 
flow and long-term profitable growth; 

-  We continue to work with our lenders to pursue a revised credit facility arrangement;  
-  We continue to evaluate and examine other financing options.

Net cash flows used in operating activities improved by $10.6 million for the fourth quarter 2022 compared 
to the same period last year primarily due to a lower net loss before non-cash expenses partially offset by 
lower accounts payable and accrued liabilities driven by a lower sales base.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis 

Net cash flows used in investing activities improved by $3.3 million for the fourth quarter 2022 compared to 
the  same  period  last  year  primarily  due  to  lower  fixed  assets  additions  as  facility  roll-outs  came  were 
concluded before fourth quarter of Fiscal 2022.  

Net cash flows used in financing activities increased by $44.3 million for the fourth quarter 2022 compared 
to the same period last year primarily due to the Company’s repayment of its revolver.

Net cash flows used in operating activities increased by $42.6 million for the 52-weeks of 2022 compared 
to  the  same  period  last  year  primarily  due  to  the  increase  in  net  loss  and  lower  accounts  payable  and 
accrued liabilities driven by a lower sales base. 

Net cash flows used in investing activities increased by $19.7 million for the 52-weeks of 2022 compared 
to the same period last year primarily due to higher fixed assets additions and deposits mainly attributable 
to the build-out of facilities. 

Net  cash  flows  provided  by  financing  activities  decreased  by  $47.5  million  for  the  52-weeks  of  2022 
compared to the same period last year primarily due to last year’s issuance of common shares being higher 
in comparison to Fiscal 2022’s issuance of convertible debentures.

During the first quarter of Fiscal 2021, 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  of  Fiscal  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  the  Canadian  Banker’s  Acceptance  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  installments  of  $313  thousand  on  November  30,  2022  with  a  bullet  repayment  of  the 
balance of $10.6 million at the end of the term in November 2023.  

For more detail with respect to the status of the Credit Facility 2021 and the existence of a tolerance letter 
with  the  Company’s  lenders,  please  refer  to  the  subsection  “Capital  Management”  of  the  “Liquidity  and 
Capital Resources” section of this MD&A. 

INTEREST RATE SWAP 

Goodfood had one swap agreement in place whereby the Company fixed the interest rate on a notional 
amount of $10.9 million which matured in November 2021. Goodfood has not entered into a new swap as 
at the end of the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2022.

CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES 

On February 11, 2022, the Company issued 30,000 convertible unsecured subordinated debentures (the 
"2022  Debentures")  at  a  price  of  $1  thousand  per  Debenture  for  gross  proceeds  of  $30  million.  The 
Debentures mature on March 31, 2027 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,  commencing  on  
September 30, 2022. Factoring in the 2022 Debentures issuance costs, the effective interest rate on the 
2022 Debentures is 12.6%. 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 conversion price of $4.60 per common share.  

On or after March 31, 2025, and prior to March 31, 2026, 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  2022 
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, 2026, and prior to the 
Maturity Date, the 2022 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  Fiscal  2020,  the  Company  issued  30,000  convertible  unsecured  subordinated  debentures  (the  "2020 
Debentures") at a price of $1,000 per Debenture for gross proceeds of $30 million. The 2020 Debentures 
mature on March 31, 2025 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, commencing on September 30, 2020. Factoring in 
the 2020 Debentures issuance costs, the effective interest rate on the 2020 Debentures is 11.76%. The 
2020  Debentures  are  convertible  into  common  shares  of  the  Company  at  any  time  at  the  option  of  the 
holder at a conversion price of $4.70. Starting on March 31, 2023, under certain conditions, 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. 

During the 52-weeks ended September 3, 2022, 1,364 Debentures (2021 – 11,284) were converted into 
common shares of the Company, resulting in the issuance of 293,647 (2021 – 2,400,819) common shares 
and  the  Company  reclassified  $1.1  million  (2021  –  $9.0  million)  and  $0.2  million  (2021  –  $1.9  million), 
respectively from the convertible debentures liability to common shares and from the equity component of 
the convertible debentures to common shares. A deferred income tax recovery of $1.6 million (2021 – nil) 
was recognized upon issuance of the 2022 Debentures for the 52-weeks ended September 3, 2022 (2021 
– nil). A deferred income tax expense of $0.1 million (2021 – $0.5 million) was recognized upon conversion 
of  the  Debentures  for  the  52-weeks  ended  September  3,  2022.  As  at  September  3,  2022,  35,488 
Debentures (2021 – 6,852 Debentures) were outstanding.  

COMMON SHARES 

Significant equity transactions that took place during the 13-weeks and 52-weeks ended September 3, 2022 
were as follows:

Quarterly net sales increased sequentially for the first three quarters of Fiscal 2021, principally due to the 
Company’s increasing product offering and flexibility as well as the ongoing impact of Covid-19 restrictions 
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.  Transitioning  into  the  first  quarter  of  Fiscal  2022,  weekly  orders  and  active  customers 
increased throughout the quarter compared to the seasonal lows experienced in the latter part of the fourth 
quarter of Fiscal 2021, while net sales of the first quarter of Fiscal 2022  came in slightly  lower than the 
fourth quarter of Fiscal 2021 as the quarterly order frequency was slightly lower. Net sales decreased in 
the second quarter of Fiscal 2022 due to four less days in the quarter compared to the first quarter of Fiscal 
2021 coupled with the normal seasonal impact of Christmas and New Year holidays. With the change in 
customer behaviors from post COVID-19 effects and the current economic conditions, net sales decreased 
in the third quarter of Fiscal 2022.  Fourth quarter net sales were impacted by the expected seasonal slow-

Management’s Discussion and Analysis 

down associated with the summer months as well as the weakening macro-economic environment driven 
in part by on-going high inflation rates. 

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 continued 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. Net loss improved in the first and second quarter of Fiscal 2022 
compared to the last quarter of Fiscal 2021 beginning with a progressively stronger gross margin throughout 
the quarter and cost efficiencies with selling, general and administration expenses partially offset by lower 
net  sales.  Net  loss  increased  in  the  third  quarter  of  Fiscal  2022  mainly  due  to  higher  depreciation  and 
amortization and reorganization and related costs. Lastly net loss increased in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 
2022 was due to the charges regarding the impairment of non-financial assets and the discontinuance of 
products related to on-demand offering.   

For Fiscal 2021, the first quarter saw a decrease in quarterly adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin 
due  to  higher  wages  and  salaries  and  higher  marketing  spend  as  the  Company  continued  to  grow  and 
expand its operations and product offerings across Canada. The second and third quarter of the year saw 
a sequential increase in adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin driven primarily by rising quarterly 
net sales. The fourth quarter of Fiscal 2021, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin was impacted 
by the decrease in net sales and the operating deleverage it created across both gross profit and selling, 
general and administrative expenses. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin improved in the first 
and  second  quarter  of  Fiscal  2022  compared  to  the  last  quarter  of  Fiscal  2021,  beginning  with  a 
progressively stronger gross margin throughout the quarter and cost efficiencies with selling, general and 
administration expenses partially offset by lower net sales. As the Company continues to focus on improving 
profitability  through  its  reorganization  initiatives  including  Project  Blue  Ocean,  adjusted  EBITDA  and 
adjusted EBITDA margin the third quarter of Fiscal 2022 continues to improve mainly driven by stronger 
gross  margin  in  the  quarter  and  continued  cost  efficiencies  with  selling,  general  and  administration 
expenses partially offset by lower net sales. The fourth quarter of Fiscal 2022 saw a significant sequential 
improvement in the Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin, driven by both adjusted gross margin 
improvement as well as a reduction in the selling, general and administrative expenses required to support 
the business driven from the implementation of Blue Ocean initiatives, partly offset by a decline in net sales. 

TRENDS AND SEASONALITY 

The Company’s net sales and expenses are impacted by seasonality. During the holiday season and the 
summer season, the Company anticipates net sales to be lower as a higher proportion of customers elect 
to skip their delivery. The Company generally anticipates the number of active customers to be lower during 
these periods. 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.  

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.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis 

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 
managed its interest rate risk by using a variable-to-fixed interest rate swap which matured in November 
2021. To date, the Company did not enter into a new interest rate swap. Refer to 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. 

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.  

The Company monitors its risk of shortage of funds by monitoring forecasted and actual cash flows and 
maturity dates of existing financial liabilities and commitments and is actively managing its capital to ensure 
a sufficient liquidity position to finance its general and administrative, working capital and overall capital 
expenditures.  However,  the  Company  concluded  that  material  uncertainty  exists  with  respect  to  the 
Company’s ability to continue as a going-concern for at least the next twelve months to realize its assets 
and satisfy its liabilities in the normal course of operations as they come due.  

In order to  address these  uncertainties, the Company will rely  on Blue Ocean  initiatives, a review  of  its 
operations and overall business to drive efficiencies, return the Company to positive Adjusted EBITDA by 
the first half of 2023 and to form the basis for the path to positive cash flow and long-term profitable growth 
as well as negotiating the terms of a revised credit facility arrangement with its lenders. There can be no 
assurance that the Company will be successful in achieving positive results. Please refer to the “Basis of 
Presentation” section of the MD&A. 

BUSINESS RISK 

For a detailed discussion of business risk factors, please refer to the Company’s Annual Information Form 
for the 52-weeks ended September 3, 2022 and the Company’s final short-form prospectus dated February

receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, long-term debt and Debentures. 

INVESTMENT POLICY 

The Company invests its excess cash with varying terms to maturity selected with regards to the expected 
timing of investments or expenditures for continuing operations. 

FINANCIAL COVENANTS 

As discussed in the “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section of the MD&A, the Company’s secured a credit 
facility  that  includes  financial  covenants  which  may  restrict  the  Company’s  ability  to  pursue  future 
transactions or opportunities. As at the end of the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2022, the Company was in not in 
compliance with these financial covenants.  Refer to the “Liquidity and Capital  Resources” section of the

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 plan, stock options generally vest over a period of 
three or four years and expire eight years from the grant date. 

A  restricted  share  unit  plan  (the  “RSU  Plan”)  was  established  by  the  Company  to  attract  and  retain 
employees,  officers  and  directors.  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. Under the plan, RSUs generally vest over 
a period of three years.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis 

FEBRUARY 2022 CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES PUBLIC OFFERING 

On  February  11,  2022,  the  Company  completed  a  public  offering  and  issued  $30  million  of  convertible 
debentures for net proceeds of $28 million.  

The following table compares the estimated use of proceeds presented in the Company's final short-form 
prospectus dated February 4, 2022 with the actual use of proceeds as at September 3, 2022. Pursuant to 
the shutdown of its Goodfood On-Demand offering and the closing of all its MFCs as part of its Blue Ocean 
initiatives, the Company will no longer be investing in capital expenditures for its MFCs. Going forward, the 
Company will use the proceeds of this public offering to fund general corporate purposes including leases 
and Blue Ocean initiatives.

SEGMENT REPORTING 

The Company has one reportable segment as our principal business activity is focused on developing and 
servicing the online meal-kit and grocery add-on market. 

DIVIDEND POLICY 

Since its incorporation, the Company has not paid any dividend on its common shares. The Company’s 
current policy is to retain future earnings to finance its growth. Any future determination to pay dividends is 
at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors and will depend on the Company’s financial condition, 
results of operations, capital requirements and other such factors as the Board of Directors of the Company 
may deem relevant. 

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.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis 

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

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 during the pandemic which has stabilized since the last quarters of Fiscal 2021. 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  and  actual 
economic conditions are difficult to predict and could affect the significant estimates and judgements used 
in the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements.  

2 

CRITICAL JUDGEMENTS 

Impairments of non-current 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. 

Leases 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 judgement 
could affect the Company’s financial position if the lease term of the leases is reassessed differently. 

3 

KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS 

Impairments of non-financial assets 

In  assessing  impairment,  management  estimates  the  recoverable  amount  of  each  asset  or  CGU. 
Management estimated the recoverable amount of the CGUs based on the higher of value-in-use (“VIU”) 
and fair value less costs of disposal (“FVLCD”).  The VIU is based on expected future cash flows. When 
measuring  expected  future  cash  flows,  management  makes  key  assumptions  about  future  economic 
benefits which relate  to  future events  and circumstances. Estimation  uncertainty relates  to assumptions 
about  future  economic  benefits  and  the  application  of  an  appropriate  discount  rate.  When  measuring 
FVLCD, management makes key assumptions on expected fair values and costs of disposal. Actual results 
could  vary  from  these  estimates  which  may  cause  significant  adjustments  to  the  Company’s  long-lived 
assets in subsequent reporting periods. 

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. 
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

Management’s Discussion and Analysis 

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 

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 

No changes in accounting policies were adopted during the 52-weeks ended September 3, 2022. 

STANDARDS ISSUED BUT NOT YET EFFECTIVE 

Amendment to IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements 

In January 2020, the IASB issued an amendment to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements to clarify 
the classification of liabilities as current or non-current (the “2020 amendments”). For the purposes of non- 
current classification, the amendment removed the requirement for a right to defer settlement or roll over 
of a liability for at least twelve months to be unconditional. Instead, such a right must have substance and 
exist at the end of the reporting period. The 2020 amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on 
or after September 3, 2023. The 2020 amendments are subject to future developments and in November 
2021  the  IASB  proposed  to  defer  the  effective  date  to  no  earlier  than  January  2024.  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 (“ICFR”). 

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 
September 3, 2022. 

INTERNAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING  

The Certifying Officers have designed ICFR or have caused them to be designed under their supervision, 
in order to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation 
of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS. In designing and evaluating internal 
controls, it should be recognized that due to inherent limitations, any controls, no matter how well designed

Management’s Discussion and Analysis 

and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives and may 
not prevent or detect misstatements.  

The  control  framework  used  to  design  the  Company’s  ICFR  is  based  on  the  criteria  set  forth  by  the 
Committee  of  Sponsoring  Organizations  of  the  Treadway  Commission  (COSO)  on  Internal  Control  – 
Integrated Framework (2013 framework).  

Management, under the supervision of the Certifying Officers, has evaluated the effectiveness of ICFR and 
based on that evaluation, the Certifying Officers have concluded that the Company’s ICFR was effective as 
at September 3, 2022. 

No changes were made during the Fiscal 2022 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT 

To the Shareholders of Goodfood Market Corp. 

Opinion 

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Goodfood Market Corp. (the "Entity"), which 
comprise: 

• 

• 

• 

• 

the consolidated statements of financial position as at September 3, 2022 and August 31, 2021; 

the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss for the 52-weeks then ended; 

the consolidated statements of changes in equity for the 52-weeks then ended; 

the consolidated statements of cash flows for the 52-weeks then ended; and 

•  notes  to  the  consolidated  financial  statements,  including  a  summary  of  significant  accounting 

policies. 

(Hereinafter referred to as the "financial statements"). 

In  our  opinion,  the  accompanying  financial  statements  present  fairly,  in  all  material  respects,  the 
consolidated  financial  position  of  the  Entity  as  at  September  3,  2022  and  August  31,  2021,  and  its 
consolidated  financial  performance  and  its  consolidated  cash  flows  for  the  52-weeks  then  ended  in 
accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). 

Basis for Opinion 

We  conducted  our  audit  in  accordance  with  Canadian  generally  accepted  auditing  standards.  Our 
responsibilities  under  those  standards  are  further  described  in  the  "Auditors’  Responsibilities  for 
the Audit of the Financial Statements" section of our auditors’ report. 

We are independent of the Entity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our 
audit  of  the  financial  statements  in  Canada  and  we  have  fulfilled  our  other  responsibilities  in 
accordance with these requirements. 

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis 
for our opinion. 

Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern  

We draw attention to Note 2.2 in the financial statements, which indicates that the Entity has incurred 
net  losses  and  negative  cash  flows  from  operating  activities  for  the  52-weeks  ended  September 3, 
2022, has a deficit as at September 3, 2022, that it was in breach of certain of its financial covenants 
which resulted in the related debt being classified as a current liability at September 3, 2022, and that 
its operations are dependent on generating positive cash flow from operations, the continued financial 
support  of  its  shareholders  and  lenders,  and/or  raising  additional  funds  to  finance  operations  within 
and beyond the next twelve months.

member firms affiliated with KPMG International Limited, a private English company limited by guarantee.  KPMG  
Canada provides services to KPMG LLP. 

 
 
Page 2 

As stated in Note 2.2 in the financial statements, these events or conditions, along with other matters 
as set forth in Note 2.2 in the financial statements, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may 
cast significant doubt on the Entity's ability to continue as a going concern.  

Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter. 

Key Audit Matters 

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in 
our audit of the financial statements for the 52-weeks ended September 3, 2022. These matters were 
addressed  in  the  context  of  our  audit  of  the  financial  statements  as  a  whole,  and  in  forming  our 
opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. 

In addition to the matter described in the "Material Uncertainty related to Going Concern" section of 
the auditor’s report, we have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to 
be communicated in our auditor’s report. 

Evaluation  of  the  impairment  of  the  individual  assets  and  of  the  leased 
facilities cash generating units following the reorganization 

Description of the matter  

We draw attention to Notes 6, 13 and 14 to the financial statements. The Entity has fixed assets of 
$18,408  thousand,  right-of-use  assets  of  $55,419  thousand  and  assets  held  for  sale  of  $3,654 
thousand. As a result of the Entity’s reorganization plan and the breach of certain financial covenants, 
the Entity has decided to close several facilities as well as shut-down its on-demand grocery product 
offering.  This  resulted,  amongst  other,  in  the  following  cash  generating  unit  ("CGU").  CGUs  being 
identified 1) at the individual asset level and 2) at the leased facility level (including right-of-use asset 
and  fixed  assets  pertaining  to  the  leased  premises).  Consequently,  the  Entity  performed  an 
impairment test of its non-financial assets since it had reason to believe that the carrying amount of 
the  CGUs  might  not  be  recoverable.  The  Entity  has  recorded  an  impairment  charge  of  $9,022 
thousand at the individual assets level and of $37,063 thousand at the leased facilities level. 

The  Entity  reviews  the  carrying  amount  of  its  non-financial  assets,  which  include  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.  If  any  such  indication 
exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated. For impairment testing purposes, assets that 
cannot  be  tested  individually  are  aggregated  into  a  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 (or a CGU’s) fair value less costs of disposal ("FVLCD") and its value in use 
("VIU"). In assessing VIU, 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  or  the  CGU.  Impairment  losses  are  allocated  to  reduce  the  carrying 
amounts  of  the  assets  in  the  CGU  on  a  pro  rata  basis  and  are  recognized  in  the  consolidated 
statements of loss. 

 
 
 
Page 3 

For  individual  assets  subsequently  classified  as  assets  held  for  sale,  the  Entity’s  significant 
assumptions in determining FVLCD include: 

•  expected price the Entity would be able to sell the asset on a secondary market. 

For  the  leased  facilities  CGUs,  the  Entity  used  a  discounted  cash  flow  model  to  determine  VIU  in 
which the Entity’s significant assumptions include: 

• 

• 

length  of  time  the  Entity  would  expect  to  find  a  market  participant  to  take  over  the  lease  and 
market rental rates; 

the discount rate employed for each cash flow projection based on capitalization rates according 
to the market in which the facilities are located. 

Why the matter is a key audit matter  

We  identified  the  evaluation  of  the  impairment  of  the  individual  assets  and  of  the  leased  facilities 
CGUs  following  the  reorganization  as  a  key  audit  matter.  This  matter  represented  an  area  of 
significant risk of material misstatement given the magnitude of fixed assets, right-of-use assets and 
assets  held  for  sale,  and  the  high  degree  of  estimation  uncertainty  in  determining  the  recoverable 
amounts  of  the  individual  assets  and  the  leased  facilities  CGUs.  In  addition,  significant  auditor 
judgement and specialized skills and knowledge were required in evaluating the results of our audit 
procedures  due  to  the  sensitivity  of  the  recoverable  amounts  determined  by  the  Entity  to  minor 
changes in significant assumptions. 

How the matter was addressed in the audit 

The primary procedures we performed to address this key audit matter included the following:  

We compared the lease information inputs used in the determination of the recoverable amount of the 
leased facilities CGUs, such as contractual rental rates, lease period and additional rent to the lease 
agreements. 

For  a  selection  of  individual  assets  subsequently  classified  as  assets  held  for  sale,  we  involved 
valuation  professionals  with  specialized  skills  and  knowledge,  who  assisted  in  evaluating  the 
appropriateness of: 

• 

the inputs on the expected price the Entity would be able to sell the asset on a secondary market, 
used  by  the  Entity  in  determining  FVLCD,  by  comparing  them  to  comparable  market  data  and 
inquiring of used equipment dealers and vendors. 

For a selection of leased facilities CGUs, we involved valuation professionals with specialized skills 
and knowledge, who assisted in evaluating the appropriateness of: 

• 

the inputs on the length of time the Entity would expect to find a market participant to take over 
the lease and market rental rates used by the Entity in determining VIU by comparing to external 
information such as industry reports and commercial real estate property listings and transactions; 

 
 
 
Page 4 

• 

the discount rate used for each cash flow projection based on capitalization rates according to the 
market in which the facilities are located used by the Entity in determining VIU by comparing them 
to a discount rate range that was independently developed using publicly available market data 
for comparable properties. 

Other Information 

Management is responsible for the other information. Other information comprises:

In  connection  with  our  audit  of  the  financial  statements,  our  responsibility  is  to  read  the  other 
information  identified  above  and,  in  doing  so,  consider  whether  the  other  information  is  materially 
inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit and remain alert for 
indications that the other information appears to be materially misstated. 

We  obtained  the  information  included  in  Management’s  Discussion  and  Analysis  filed  with  the 
relevant  Canadian  Securities  Commissions  and  the  information,  other  than  the  financial  statements 
and the auditor’s report thereon, included in the "Annual report" as at the date of this auditors’ report. 
If,  based  on  the  work  we  have  performed  on  this  other  information,  we  conclude  that  there  is  a 
material  misstatement  of  this  other  information,  we  are  required  to  report  that  fact  in  the  auditors’ 
report. 

We have nothing to report in this regard. 

Responsibilities  of  Management  and  Those  Charged  with  Governance  for  the 
Financial Statements 

Management  is  responsible  for  the  preparation  and  fair  presentation  of  the  financial  statements  in 
accordance  with  IFRS,  and  for  such  internal  control  as  management  determines  is  necessary  to 
enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due 
to fraud or error. 

In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Entity’s ability to 
continue as a going concern, disclosing as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the 
going  concern  basis  of  accounting  unless  management  either  intends  to  liquidate  the  Entity  or  to 
cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. 

Those  charged  with  governance  are  responsible  for  overseeing  the  Entity’s  financial  reporting 
process. 

 
 
 
Page 5 

Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole 
are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report 
that includes our opinion.  

Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in 
accordance  with  Canadian  generally  accepted  auditing  standards  will  always  detect  a  material 
misstatement when it exists.  

Misstatements  can  arise  from  fraud  or  error  and  are  considered  material  if,  individually  or  in  the 
aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on 
the basis of the financial statements. 

As part of an audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards, we exercise 
professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.  

We also: 

• 

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to 
fraud  or  error,  design  and perform  audit  procedures  responsive  to  those risks,  and  obtain  audit 
evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.  

The  risk  of  not  detecting  a  material  misstatement  resulting  from  fraud  is  higher  than  for  one 
resulting 
intentional  omissions, 
misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. 

involve  collusion, 

from  error,  as 

fraud  may 

forgery, 

•  Obtain  an  understanding  of  internal  control  relevant  to  the  audit  in  order  to  design  audit 
procedures  that  are  appropriate  in  the  circumstances,  but  not  for  the  purpose  of  expressing  an 
opinion on the effectiveness of the Entity's internal control.  

•  Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting 

estimates and related disclosures made by management. 

•  Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting 
and,  based  on  the  audit  evidence  obtained,  whether  a  material  uncertainty  exists  related  to 
events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Entity's ability to continue as a going 
concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our 
auditors’  report  to  the  related  disclosures  in  the  financial  statements  or,  if  such  disclosures  are 
inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up 
to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Entity to 
cease to continue as a going concern. 

•  Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the 
disclosures,  and  whether  the  financial  statements  represent  the  underlying  transactions  and 
events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. 

 
 
 
Page 6 

•  Communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned 
scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies 
in internal control that we identify during our audit.  

•  Provide  those  charged  with  governance  with  a  statement  that  we  have  complied  with  relevant 
ethical requirements regarding independence, and communicate with them all relationships and 
other  matters  that  may  reasonably  be  thought  to  bear  on  our  independence,  and  where 
applicable, related safeguards. 

•  Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or 
business activities within the Group Entity to express an opinion on the financial statements. We 
are  responsible  for  the  direction,  supervision  and  performance  of  the  group  audit.  We  remain 
solely responsible for our audit opinion. 

•  Determine, from the matters communicated with those charged with governance, those matters 
that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are 
therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ report unless law or 
regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, 
we  determine  that  a  matter  should  not  be  communicated  in  our auditors’ report  because  the 
adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest 
benefits of such communication.  

The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this auditors’ report is Alain Bessette.

GOODFOOD MARKET CORP. 
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements – September 3, 2022 
(Unless otherwise stated, all tabular amounts are in thousands of Canadian dollars) 

1. 

REPORTING ENTITY 

Goodfood Market Corp. is a digital meal solutions brand in Canada, delivering fresh meal and add-ons that 
make it easy for customers from across Canada to enjoy delicious meals at home every day. References 
to  Goodfood  Market  Corp.  (or  "Goodfood",  the  "Company")  represent  the  financial  position,  financial 
performance, cash flows and disclosures of Goodfood Market Corp. and its subsidiaries on a consolidated 
basis.  

These financial statements are prepared on a consolidated basis and include its wholly owned subsidiaries 
which do not currently conduct any activities.  

Goodfood Market Corp. is incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act and is listed on the 
Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") under the symbol "FOOD". The Company has its main production facility 
and administrative offices based in Montréal, Québec, with additional facilities in Québec, Ontario, Alberta, 
and other non-operational facilities in Quebec, Ontario and British Columbia (Refer to Note 6).  

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 52-weeks ended September 3, 2022 and 
August 31, 2021 were authorized by the Board of Directors ("Board") on December 1, 2022 for publication 
on December 2, 2022. 

2.2 

GOING CONCERN 

These financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Company will continue as a going 
concern, which presumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in 
the normal course of business for the foreseeable future.  

During the 52-weeks ended September 3, 2022, the Company recorded a net loss of $121.8 million as well 
as had cash used in operating activities of $58.9 million. As at September 3, 2022, current liabilities exceed 
current assets by $0.6 million and the Company has an accumulated deficit of $200.7 million. In addition, 
as at September 3, 2022, the Company was in breach of certain of its financial covenants which resulted 
in the related debt being classified as a current liability at that date. The Company entered into a tolerance 
letter with its lenders pursuant to which the lenders agreed under certain conditions which include restricting 
Goodfood from using the revolver portion of the facility, under which no amount is currently outstanding 
other than letters of credit. As of the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements, Goodfood 
is in the process of negotiating the terms of a revised credit facility arrangement. In the event that a new 
credit facility is not in place in the near term, the Company would expect to have in place a further extension 
of the current tolerance letter. There can be no assurance as to a credit facility arrangement being put in 
place in a timely manner, the terms of such an arrangement or obtaining a further extension of the current 
tolerance letter.  

The Company has relied upon external financing to fund its operations in the past, primarily through the 
issuance of debt and equity. The Company’s business plan is dependent upon generating positive cash 
flows,  the  continued  financial  support  of  its  shareholders  and  lenders  and/or  raising  additional  funds  to 
finance operations within and beyond the next twelve months. While the Company has been successful in 
securing financing in the past, raising additional funds is dependent on a number of factors outside the 
Company’s  control,  and  as  such  there  is  no  assurance  that  it  will  be  able  to  do  so  in  the  future.  If  the 
Company  is  unable  to  realize  its  projected  revenues  and  generate  positive  cash  flows  from  operations 

11 | P a g e  

 
 
 
GOODFOOD MARKET CORP. 
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements – September 3, 2022 
(Unless otherwise stated, all tabular amounts are in thousands of Canadian dollars) 

and/or obtain sufficient additional financing, it may have to curtail operations and development activities, 
any of which could harm the business, financial condition and results of operations.  

Due to the factors described above, management has concluded that a material uncertainty exists that may 
cast significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue operating as a going concern and realize its 
assets and settle its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The financial statements 
have been prepared on a going concern basis and do not include any adjustments to the amounts and 
classifications  of  the  assets  and  liabilities  that  might  be  necessary  should  the  Company  be  unable  to 
achieve its plan and continue in business. If the going concern assumption was not appropriate for these 
financial statements, then adjustments would be necessary to the carrying value of assets and liabilities, 
the reported expenses and the classification of items in the consolidated statements of financial position. 
Such adjustments could be material. 

2.3 

BASIS OF MEASUREMENT 

financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss; 

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

2.4 

FUNCTIONAL AND PRESENTATION CURRENCY 

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

2.5  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 
with comparative companies who are using floating year-ends. As a result, the Company is following a 52-
week reporting cycle but will include a 53rd week every five to six years. For Fiscal 2022, the 52-weeks 
ended September 3, 2022 is comprised of 3 additional days compared to Fiscal 2021. For simplicity, in this 
transition year, we refer to 52-weeks ended August 31, 2021 which is 52 weeks and one day and we refer 
to 52-weeks ended September 3, 2022 even though it is 52-weeks and four days.  

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.

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.

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 

ASSETS HELD FOR SALE 

Non-current assets, or disposal groups comprising assets and liabilities, are classified as held for sale if it 
is highly probable that they will be recovered primarily through sale rather than through continuing use. 

Such  assets,  or  disposal groups,  are  generally  measured  at  the  lower  of  their carrying  amount  and  fair 
value less costs to sell. Any impairment loss on a disposal group is allocated to the assets and liabilities on 
a  pro  rata  basis,  except  that  no  loss  is  allocated  to  inventories,  financial  assets,  which  continue  to  be 
measured  in  accordance  with  the  Company’s  other  accounting  policies.  Impairment  losses  on  initial 
classification as held-for-sale and subsequent gains and losses on remeasurement are recognized in the 
consolidated statements of loss. 

Once classified as held-for-sale, intangible assets and fixed assets are no longer amortized or depreciated 
and are classified as current assets. 

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 
fixed assets 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 

Period 
        3 to 5 years 
              3 to 20 years 
3 to 5 years 
Shorter of lease term and useful life

3.9 

LEASES 

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.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements – September 3, 2022 
(Unless otherwise stated, all tabular amounts are in thousands of Canadian dollars) 

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. 

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. 
If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated. 

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 (or a CGU’s) fair value 
less costs of disposal (“FVLCD”) and its value in use (“VIU”). In assessing VIU, 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 or the CGU. Impairment losses 
are  allocated  to  reduce  the  carrying  amounts  of  the  assets  in  the  CGU  on  a  pro  rata  basis  and  are 
recognized in the consolidated statements of loss. 

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or CGU) is increased 
to  the  revised  estimate  but  is  limited  to  the  carrying  amount  that  would  have  been  determined  if  no 
impairment  loss  had  been  recognized  in  prior  years.  A  reversal  of  impairment  loss  is  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  

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 

17 | P a g e  

 
 
GOODFOOD MARKET CORP. 
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements – September 3, 2022 
(Unless otherwise stated, all tabular amounts are in thousands of Canadian dollars) 

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. 

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 

18 | P a g e  

 
 
GOODFOOD MARKET CORP. 
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements – September 3, 2022 
(Unless otherwise stated, all tabular amounts are in thousands of Canadian dollars) 

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. 

19 | P a g e  

 
 
GOODFOOD MARKET CORP. 
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements – September 3, 2022 
(Unless otherwise stated, all tabular amounts are in thousands of Canadian dollars) 

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. 

3.19 

LOSS PER SHARE 

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares 
outstanding during the year. Diluted loss per share is 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.  

3.20 

SEGMENT REPORTING 

The Company determined that it operated a single operating segment for Fiscal 2022 and 2021. 

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 during the pandemic which has stabilized since the last quarters of Fiscal 2021. 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  and  actual 
economic conditions are difficult to predict and could affect the significant estimates and judgements used 
in the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements.  

4.2 

CRITICAL JUDGEMENTS 

Impairments of non-current 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.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements – September 3, 2022 
(Unless otherwise stated, all tabular amounts are in thousands of Canadian dollars) 

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 judgement 
could affect the Company’s financial position if the lease term of the leases is reassessed differently. 

4.3 

KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS 

Impairments of non-financial assets 

In  assessing  impairment,  management  estimates  the  recoverable  amount  of  each  asset  or  CGU. 
Management estimated the recoverable amount of the CGUs based on the higher of VIU and FVLCD. The 
VIU is based on expected future cash flows. When measuring expected future cash flows, management 
makes key assumptions about future economic benefits which relate to future events and circumstances. 
Estimation  uncertainty  relates  to  assumptions  about  future  economic  benefits  and  the  application  of  an 
appropriate discount rate. When measuring FVLCD, management makes key assumptions on expected 
fair values and costs of disposal. Actual results could vary from these estimates which may cause significant 
adjustments to the Company’s long-lived assets in subsequent reporting periods. 

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. 
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 

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.

STANDARDS ISSUED BUT NOT YET EFFECTIVE  

Amendment to IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements 

In January 2020, the IASB issued an amendment to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements to clarify 
the classification of liabilities as current or non-current (the “2020 amendments”). For the purposes of non- 
current classification, the amendment removed the requirement for a right to defer settlement or roll over 
of a liability for at least twelve months to be unconditional. Instead, such a right must have substance and 
exist at the end of the reporting period. The 2020 amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on 
or after September 3, 2023. The 2020 amendments are subject to future developments and in November 
2021  the  IASB  proposed  to  defer  the  effective  date  to  no  earlier  than  January  2024.  The  Company  is 
currently evaluating the impact of the amendment on its consolidated financial statements.

REORGANIZATION AND OTHER RELATED COSTS 

6.1 

IMPAIRMENT OF NON-FINANCIAL ASSETS 

As  a  result  of  the  Company’s  reorganization  plan  and  the  breach  of  certain  financial  covenants,  the 
Company  has  decided  to  close  several  facilities  as  well  as  shut-down  its  on-demand  grocery  product 
offering. This resulted in the following CGUs being identified 1) the individual asset level, 2) at the leased 
facility level (including right-of-use asset and fixed assets pertaining to the leased premises) and 3) the 
geographical area level based on where customers are served that generate independent cash inflows. 
Consequently, the Company performed an impairment test of its non-financial assets since it had reason 
to believe that the carrying amount of the CGUs might not be recoverable. 

During the year ended September 3, 2022, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $37.9 million 
on fixed assets, $7.7 million on right-of-use assets and $0.5 million on intangible assets from the following 
CGUs: 

CGU level 
Individual assets  
Leased facilities

− 

46,085 

When  determining  the  FVLCD  of  its  individual  assets,  the  Company  used  market  inputs  based  on  the 
expected price the Company would be able to sell the asset for on a secondary market. Subsequent to the 
impairment test, the individual assets were reclassified as assets held for sale as they met the condition to 
be classified as such as at September 3, 2022. 

When determining the VIU of its leased facilities, the Company used a discounted cash flow model in which 
the main assumptions included the length of time the Company would expect to find a market participant 
to take over the lease and market rental rates. In addition, the discount rate employed for each cash flow 
projection  was determined to be 8% based on capitalization rates according to the market in which  the 
facilities are located.

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 
installments of $313 thousand on November 30, 2022 with a bullet repayment of the balance of $10.6 million 
at the end of the term in November 2023.

During the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2022, the Company did not meet all the financial covenants under its 
credit facility resulting in an event of default as at September 3, 2022. The Company received a tolerance 
letter  from  its  lenders  pursuant  to  which  the  lenders agreed,  subject  to  certain  terms  and  conditions,  to 
refrain from enforcing their rights, remedies and resources under the Credit Facility agreement as well as 
restrict  Goodfood  from  using  the  revolver  portion  of  the  facility,  under  which  no  amount  is  currently 
outstanding or available other than letters of credit. In addition, the other short-term financing available to 
the Company was reduced to $7.3 million and an additional 1.00% was added to the interest calculation. 
Goodfood is in the process of negotiating the terms of a revised credit facility arrangement. In the event 
that a new credit facility is not in place in the near term, the Company would expect to have in place a 
further  extension  of  the  current  tolerance  letter.  The  Company  cannot  provide  assurance  as  to  a  credit 
facility arrangement being put in place in a timely manner,  the terms of such an arrangement or obtaining 
a further extension of the current tolerance letter. As a result, the outstanding loan on the credit facility is 
recognized in the Company’s current liabilities due to the lenders’ ability to demand full repayment after the 
expiry of the tolerance letter, unless otherwise extended. 

As  at  August  31,  2021,  $9.1  million  of  the  revolving  facility  was  drawn,  a  balance  of  $33.4  million  was 
undrawn and $32.2 million was available. 

As  at  September  3,  2022,  Goodfood  had  outstanding 
(2021 – $1.2 million) which reduced the availability on the revolving facility. 

letters  of  credit 

totalling  $0.7  million  

As at September 3, 2022, the Company allocated $7.3 million (2021 – $14.6 million) to corporate credit 
cards  to  be  used  for  business  purposes  of  the  other  short-term  financing  amount.  Amounts  owing  with 
respect to credit cards are included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. 

INTEREST RATE SWAP 

Goodfood had one swap agreement in place whereby the Company fixed the interest rate on a notional 
amount of $10.9 million until November 2021. Since November 2021, the Company has not entered into a 
new  interest  rate  swap.  As  at  August  31,  2021,  the  Company’s  interest  rate  swap  was  classified  as  a 
derivative financial liability and was not designated as a hedging instrument.  

For the 52-weeks ended September 3, 2022, a gain in fair value of $26 thousand was presented in net 
finance costs (2021 - $0.1 million).  

PRINCIPAL PAYMENTS 

Had  there  been  no  breach  in  financial  covenants  and  the  debt  was  classified  as  a  long-term  debt,  the 
principal payments due in each of the following fiscal years as per the long-term debt terms are as follows:

annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on March 31 and September 30 of each year, commencing on  
September 30, 2022. 

The 2022 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 $4.60 (the "Conversion Price") per common share. 

On or after March 31, 2025, and prior to March 31, 2026, 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  2022 
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, 2026, and prior to the 
Maturity Date, the 2022 Debentures may be redeemed in whole or in part at the option of the Company at

effective interest rate on the Debentures is 12.6%. 

2020 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

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.

weighted from the transaction date.  

For the year ended September 3, 2022 and the year ended August 31, 2021, the diluted loss per share 
calculation did not take into consideration the potential dilutive effect of stock options, restricted share units 
and employee share purchase plan units as they are anti-dilutive.

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.

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.

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 52-weeks ended:

GOODFOOD MARKET CORP. 
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements – September 3, 2022 
(Unless otherwise stated, all tabular amounts are in thousands of Canadian dollars) 

25. 

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS 

Goodfood has determined that the fair value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts and other receivables, 
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 approximates its carrying amount as it bears 
a variable interest rate at BA plus 2.50% which is a similar market interest rate for financial instruments with 
similar terms and risks. 

The Company determined the valuation of its Debentures at issuance using Level 3 inputs. As at September 
3, 2022, the Company determined that the fair value of its Debentures approximates $7.0 million which was 
determined based on market trading value.  

26. 

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 
managed its interest rate risk by using a variable-to-fixed interest rate swap which matured in November 
2021. As interest rates on Debentures are fixed, the Company is not exposed to interest rate risk on those 
instruments. 

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.  

The Company monitors its risk of shortage of funds by monitoring forecasted and actual cash flows and 
maturity dates of existing financial liabilities and commitments and is actively managing its capital to ensure 
a sufficient liquidity position to finance its general and administrative, working capital and overall capital 
expenditures.  However,  the  Company  concluded  that  material  uncertainty  exists  with  respect  to  the 
Company’s ability to continue as a going-concern for at least the next twelve months to realize its assets 
and satisfy its liabilities in the normal course of operations as they come due (Refer to Note 2.2 on going 
concern).

GOODFOOD MARKET CORP. 
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements – September 3, 2022 
(Unless otherwise stated, all tabular amounts are in thousands of Canadian dollars) 

In order to address these uncertainties, the Company will rely on its reorganization initiatives, a review of 
its operations and overall business to drive efficiencies to form the basis for positive cash flow and long-
term profitable growth as well as actively negotiating the terms of a revised credit facility arrangement with 
its lenders. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in achieving positive results.   
Capital management 

The  Company's  objective  in  managing  its  capital  structure  is  to  ensure  a  sufficient  liquidity  position  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, as 
well as short-term or long-term debt. As of the end of its fourth quarter of Fiscal 2022, the Company had 
$36.9 million in cash on its consolidated statement of financial position benefiting from a term loan of $11.7 
million  outstanding  which  is  currently  classified  as  a  current  liability.  For  more  information  on  the  debt 
covenant, refer to Note 18.

(1)  As at September 3, 2022, an interest rate of 5.34% (2021 – 2.92%) was used to determine the estimated interest 
payments on the variable-rate portion of the Company’s long-term debt. In addition, in Fiscal 2021 the fixed interest 
rate pursuant to the swap agreement mentioned in Note 18 was used to determine the interest payments on the 
fixed-rate portion of the Company’s long-term debt.
