Basis of Presentation | 2 BASIS OF PRESENTATION Basis of Presentation These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). The consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors of the Company for issue on March 13, 2019. Management does not have the authority to amend the consolidated financial statements after the statements have been issued, without the approval by the Board of Directors of the Company. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies. Basis of Measurement The consolidated annual financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for the following material items on the consolidated statements of financial position: • biological assets are measured at fair value less costs to sell; • land is valued at fair market value; and • marketable equity securities are measured at fair value through profit and loss. Functional and Presentation Currency The functional currency for each entity included in these consolidated financial statements is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. These consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars (“U.S. dollars”) which have been rounded to the nearest thousands, except per share amounts. Currency conversion to U.S. dollars is performed in accordance with IAS 21, The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates |

Significant Accounting Policies, Judgments and Estimation Uncertainty | 3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, JUDGMENTS AND ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY The significant accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements. Consolidation The consolidated financial statements of the Company consolidate the accounts of VFF and its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions, balances and unrealized gains and losses from intercompany transactions are eliminated on consolidation. Joint Venture A joint venture is a contractual arrangement whereby the Company and other parties undertake an economic activity through a jointly controlled entity. Joint control exists when strategic, financial and operating policy decisions relating to the activities require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control. Joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method and are recognized initially at cost. The Company recognizes its share of the post-acquisition income and expenses and equity movement in the venture. If the cumulative losses exceed the carrying amount of the equity investment, they are first applied to any additional advances that are receivable from the joint venture to the extent of the total amount receivable. Additional losses are recognized only to the extent that there exists a legal or constructive obligation. Segment Reporting Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker. The chief operating decision-maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”). Based on the aggregation criteria in IFRS 8, Operating Segments Foreign Currency Translation Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated to the functional currency at the exchange rates in effect at the reporting date. Non-monetary Non-monetary Financial Instruments Financial assets and liabilities are recognized when the Company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument. Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the assets have expired or have been transferred and the Company has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership. Financial liabilities are derecognized when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expired. Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported on the consolidated statements of financial position when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Classification and Measurement The Company has assessed the classification and measurement of its financial assets and financial liabilities under IFRS 9 and has summarized the original measurement categories under IAS 39 and the new measurement categories under IFRS 9 in the following table: Measurement Category Original (IAS 39) New (IFRS 9) Financial Assets: Cash Trade receivables Marketable equity securities Other financial assets Amortized cost Amortized cost Available-for-sale Amortized cost Amortized cost Amortized cost Fair value through other comprehensive income Amortized cost Financial Liabilities: Trade payables Debt Derivative instruments Other financial liabilities Amortized cost Amortized cost Fair value through profit or loss Amortized cost Amortized cost Amortized cost Fair value through profit or loss Amortized cost There has been no change in the carrying value of our financial instruments or to previously reported figures as a result of changes to the measurement categories in the table noted above. Impairment of Financial Assets Prior to January 1, 2018, at each reporting date, the Company assessed whether there was objective evidence that a financial asset was impaired. The criteria used to determine if objective evidence of an impairment loss exists include: i) significant financial difficulty of the obligor; ii) delinquencies in interest or principal payments; and iii) it becomes probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization. If such evidence existed, the Company recognized an impairment loss as follows: i) Financial assets carried at amortized cost: The loss equaled the difference between the amortized cost of the loan or receivable and the present value of the estimated future cash flows, discounted using the instrument’s original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the asset was reduced by this amount either directly or indirectly through the use of an allowance account. ii) Available-for-sale Subsequent to January 1, 2018, the Company assesses all information available, including, on a forward-looking basis, the expected credit losses associated with its assets carried at amortized cost. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk. To assess whether there is a significant increase in credit risk, the Company compares the risk of a default occurring on the asset as at the reporting date with the risk of default as at the date of initial recognition based on all information available, and reasonable and supportive forward-looking information. For trade receivables only, the Company applies the simplified approach as permitted by IFRS 9 which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognized from initial recognition of the receivables. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash deposits held with banks, and other highly liquid short-term interest bearing securities with maturities at the date of purchase of three months or less. Trade Receivables Trade receivables are measured at amortized cost, net of allowance for expected credit losses. Credit is extended based on an evaluation of a customer’s financial condition. Accounts outstanding longer than the contractual payment terms are considered past due. The Company determines its allowance by considering a number of factors, including the length of time accounts are past due, the Company’s previous loss history and the customer’s current ability to pay its obligation to the Company. Trade receivables are recorded net of lifetime expected credit losses. Inventories Inventories refer to deferred crop costs and other supplies and packaging which are incurred to date on current production and are not defined as a biological asset. Inventories of Company-grown produce consist of raw materials, labour and overhead costs incurred less costs charged to cost of sales throughout the various crop cycles, which end at various times throughout the year. Growing crops are accounted for in accordance with the Company’s policy on biological assets. Cost of sales is based on estimated costs over the crop cycle allocated to both actual and estimated future yields at each period-end The carrying value of agricultural produce is its fair value less costs to sell and complete at the date of harvest and is presented with biological asset on the consolidated statements of financial position. Supplies and packaging are recorded at the lower of cost or replacement cost. The cost of produce inventory purchased from third parties is valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Biological Asset Biological asset consists of the Company’s produce on the vines at year-end. Property, Plant and Equipment Recognition and measurement Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, except for land. Until the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, land had been stated at cost, and is now stated at fair value and will be revalued every three years by an independent external appraiser. Any revaluation increase arising on appraisal of land is recognized in other comprehensive income on the consolidated statements of (loss) income and revaluation surplus on the statements of financial position. Any revaluation decrease arising on appraisal of land is also charged to other comprehensive income and, to the extent of any credit balance existing, debited to revaluation surplus in equity with the excess recognized in net income or loss, Property, plant and equipment costs include expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The cost of self-constructed assets includes the cost of materials and direct labour, any other costs directly attributable to bringing the assets to a working condition for their intended use, the costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located, and borrowing costs. When parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment. The gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount of the property, plant and equipment, and is presented net within gain/loss on disposal of assets in the consolidated statements of (loss) income. Depreciation Depreciation is based on the cost of an asset less its residual value. Significant components of individual assets are assessed, and if a component has a useful life that is different from the remainder of that asset, that component is depreciated separately. Depreciation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each component of an item of property, plant and equipment. Leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives unless it is reasonably certain that the Company will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term. Land is not depreciated. The estimated useful lives of the class of assets for the current and comparative periods are as follows: Classification Estimated Useful Lives Leasehold and land improvements 5-20 Greenhouses and other buildings 4-30 Greenhouse equipment 3-30 Machinery and equipment 3-12 Construction in process reflects the cost of assets under construction, which are not depreciated until placed into service. Impairment of Non-Financial Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets are tested for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. For the purpose of testing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units or “CGUs”). An impairment loss is recognized for the amount, if any, by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use (being the present value of the expected future cash flows of the relevant asset or CGUs). Leased Assets Leases where the Company assumes substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. Upon initial recognition, the leased asset is measured at an amount equal to the lower of its fair value and the present value of the minimum lease payments. Subsequent to initial recognition, the asset is accounted for in accordance with the accounting policy applicable to that asset. Other leases are operating leases and rent expenses are recognized in the Company’s consolidated statements of (loss) income. Borrowing Costs Borrowing costs attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use. All other borrowing costs are recognized initially at fair value. Borrowings are subsequently carried at amortized cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognized in the consolidated statements of (loss) income over the year of the borrowings using the effective interest method. Revenue Recognition Prior to January 1, 2018, revenue from the sale of produce in the course of ordinary activities was measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of returns, trade discounts and volume rebates. Revenue from the production and sale of power was measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Revenue was recognized when persuasive evidence existed that the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the customer, recovery of the consideration was probable, the associated costs and possible return of goods could be estimated reliably, there was no continuing management involvement with the goods, and the amount of revenue could be measured reliably. If it was probable that discounts would be granted and the amount could be measured reliably, then the discount was recognized as a reduction of revenue as the sales were recognized. The timing of the transfer of risks and rewards occurred at the time the produce had been successfully delivered, the risk of loss had passed to the customer, and collectability was reasonably assured. The Company adopted IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers Income Taxes The tax expense for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognized in the consolidated statements of (loss) income, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the consolidated statements of financial position dates in the relevant tax jurisdiction. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of the amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities. Deferred income tax is recognized, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the consolidated statements of financial position dates and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realized or the deferred income tax liability is settled. Deferred income tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized. Offsetting of deferred income tax assets and liabilities occurs only when the deferred income tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where there is an intention to settle the balances on a net basis. Share-Based Compensation The Company grants stock options and performance-based restricted share units (“RSUs”) to certain employees and directors. Stock options generally vest over three years (33% per year following the grant date) and expire after ten years. Each tranche in an award is considered a separate award with its own vesting period. The fair value of each tranche is measured at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Compensation expense is recognized over the tranche’s vesting period by increasing contributed surplus based on the number of awards expected to vest. The number of awards expected to vest is reviewed at least annually, with any impact recognized immediately. The RSUs granted are expected to be settled using the Company’s own equity and issued from treasury. The equity-settled share-based compensation is measured at the fair value of the Company’s common shares as at the grant date in accordance with the terms of the RSU Plan. The fair value determined at the grant date is charged to income when performance based vesting conditions are met, based on the estimate of the number of RSUs that will eventually vest and be converted to common shares, with a corresponding increase in equity. Provisions Provisions, where applicable, are recognized in accrued liabilities when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is more likely than not that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, and the amount can be reliably estimated. Provisions are measured at management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligation at the end of the reporting period, and are discounted to present value where the effect is material. (Loss) Income Per Share Basic income per share are computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The treasury stock method is used for the calculation of diluted income per share. Under this method, the weighted average number of common shares outstanding assumes that the proceeds to be received on the exercise of dilutive share options are applied to repurchase common shares at the average market price for the period. Share options are dilutive when the average market price of the common shares during the period exceeds the exercise price of the options. Significant Accounting Judgments and Estimation Uncertainties The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income, and expenses. These estimates and judgments have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in future periods. Critical accounting estimates and judgments i) Estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment Management estimates the useful lives of property, plant and equipment based on the period during which the assets are expected to be available for use. The amounts and timing of recorded expenses for depreciation of property, plant and equipment for any period are affected by these estimated useful lives. The estimates are reviewed at least annually and are updated if expectations change as a result of physical wear and tear, technical or commercial obsolescence and legal or other limits to use. It is possible that changes in these factors may cause significant changes in the estimated useful lives of the Company’s property, plant and equipment in the future. ii) Biological asset The fair value of the biological asset is derived using a discounted cash flow model. Management estimates the sales price of produce on the vine by utilizing actual sales prices for the first six weeks following the end of the reporting period and estimates the costs to sell and complete by projecting yields and crop, packaging, and transportation costs. The estimated costs are subject to fluctuations based on the timing of prevailing growing conditions and market conditions. Management has also used judgment in determining the point at which biological transformation has occurred to the point that they expect it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the crop will flow to the Company. iii) Inventories and cost of sales Cost of sales is based upon incurred costs, and estimated costs to be incurred, of each crop allocated to both actual and estimated future yields over each crop cycle. The estimates of future yields are reviewed at each reporting period for accuracy. However, numerous factors such as weather, diseases and prevailing market conditions can impact the estimation of pricing, costs, and future yields. The estimated costs to be incurred are based on references to historical costs and updated for discussions with suppliers and senior management. Inventories include the actual cost of the crop not yet defined as a biological asset, packaging supplies, and purchased produce, less the amounts that have been expensed in cost of sales. iv) Income taxes and deferred income tax assets or liabilities Management uses judgment and estimates in determining the appropriate rates and amounts in recording deferred taxes, giving consideration to timing and probability. Actual taxes could vary significantly from these estimates as a result of future events, including changes in income tax law or the outcome of reviews by tax authorities and related appeals. The resolution of these uncertainties and the associated final taxes may result in adjustment to the Company’s tax assets and tax liabilities. The recognition of deferred income tax assets is subject to judgment and estimation over whether these amounts can be realized. |

Changes in Accounting Policies | 4 CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES The Company has adopted the following new and revised standards and changes in accounting policies, along with any consequential amendments as at January 1, 2018. These changes were made in accordance with the applicable transitional provisions. IFRS 9, Financial Instruments Financial Instruments Recognition and Measurement de-recognition, Following the adoption of IFRS 9, the Company could no longer defer and amortize financing fees that resulted from the refinancing of borrowings in periods prior to January 1, 2018. As a result, the Company has restated the beginning balances noted in the table below to properly account for $260 of financing fees in accordance with IFRS 9. The standard was applied retrospectively therefore approximately $260 of deferred financing costs, net of accumulated amortization, remain netted against long-term debt on the consolidated statement of financial position, as at December 31, 2017.

The Company’s produce revenue transactions consist of single performance obligations to transfer promised goods. Quantities to be delivered to the customer are determined at a point near the date of delivery through purchase orders it receive from the customer. The Company recognizes revenue when it has fulfilled a performance obligation, which is typically when the customer receives the goods and its performance obligation is complete. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring product. The amount of revenue recognized is reduced for estimated returns and other customer credits, such as discounts and rebates, based on the expected value to be realized. Payment terms are consistent with terms standard to the markets the Company serves. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for the loss that would be incurred if a customer was unable to pay amounts due. The Company initially estimates the allowance required at the time of revenue recognition based on historical experience and makes changes to the allowance based on various factors, including changes in the customer’s financial condition or payment patterns. The Company sells electricity to British Columbia Hydro and Power Authority. Revenues are recognized as the electricity is delivered to/consumed by the customer and is based on contractual usage rates and meter readings that measure electricity consumption. The Company adopted IFRS 15, as of January 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective transition method, which involves not restating periods prior to the date of initial application. The application of IFRS 15 required no change in amounts recognized in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018, as the amount and timing of substantially all of its revenues is, and will continue to be, recognized at delivery. Disclosures required by IFRS 15 have been included in the financial statements.

Investment in Joint Venture | 8 INVESTMENT IN JOINT VENTURE On June 6, 2017, the Company entered into an agreement to form Pure Sunfarms Corp. (“Pure Sunfarms”), a B.C. corporation, with Emerald Health Therapeutics Inc. (“Emerald”). The purpose of Pure Sunfarms is to pursue large-scale cannabis production in Canada. Village Farms has a 50% ownership interest in Pure Sunfarms in the form of common shares. The Company has concluded that the agreement constitutes a joint arrangement where joint control is shared with Emerald and therefore has accounted for Pure Sunfarms in accordance with IFRS 11 and IAS 28, using the equity method. In conjunction with the formation of Pure Sunfarms, Village Farms contributed the rights to lease and purchase the Delta 3 land and greenhouse facility to the joint venture. The contribution of the rights has been accounted for as a reduction of the land and greenhouse facility in exchange for the investment in Pure Sunfarms Corp. It was determined that the land and greenhouse facility had a fair value of $14.9 million (CA$20 million) at the date of contribution. The fair value of the land was determined through an appraisal performed by an independent valuator. The fair value of the greenhouse was determined using the replacement cost model adjusted for the age of the greenhouse. This was a non-cash As part of the transaction, Village Farms incurred related transaction costs of $1.1 million (CA$1.4 million), which have been added to the amount of the investment in Pure Sunfarms Corp. in accordance with IAS 28.

Financial Instruments | 12 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The following table summarizes the carrying and fair value of the Company’s financial instruments: December 31, 2018 December 31, 2017 Cash and cash equivalents $ 11,920 $ 7,091 Trade receivables $ 11,292 $ 11,259 Other financial assets $ 11,659 $ 2,491 Other financial liabilities $ 57,198 $ 56,718 Financial assets and liabilities are recognized on the consolidated statements of financial position at fair value in a hierarchy that is based on significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The levels in the hierarchy are: • Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities • Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices) • Level 3 - Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (i.e., unobservable inputs). At December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company’s financial instruments included cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, notes receivable, other receivables, patronage stock, accounts payable, other current liabilities and notes payable. Due to the short-term maturities of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and other current liabilities, the carrying amounts approximate fair value at the respective balance sheet dates. The carrying value of the notes receivable and notes payable approximate their fair value based on a comparison with the prevailing market interest rates. The fair values of the Company’s notes receivable and notes payable are level 2 measurements in the fair value hierarchy. All other financial assets and liabilities are level 1. None were classified as level 3. There were no financial instruments categorized as Level 2 or 3 as at December 31, 2018 and 2017. There were no transfers of assets or liabilities between levels during the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017. Interest income, expense and gains and losses from loans, receivables and other financial liabilities are recognized in the consolidated statements of (loss) income. The following table summarizes interest income and expense for the years ended December 31: 2018 2017 Interest income earned on cash and cash equivalents $ 311 $ — Interest expense from other financial liabilities $ 2,718 $ 2,695 Management of financial risks The Company, through its financial assets and liabilities, is exposed to various risks. The following provides a measurement of some of these risks as at December 31, 2018 and 2017. The Company uses financial instruments only for risk management purposes, not for generating trading profit. i) Credit risk Credit risk is the risk that the Company will incur a loss due to the failure by its customers or other parties to meet their contractual obligations. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and other receivables. The Company limits its exposure to credit risk by placing its cash and cash equivalents with high credit quality financial institutions. The Company’s trade receivables had two customers that represented more than 10% of the balance of trade receivables, representing 13.8% and 11.5% of the balance of trade receivables as at December 31, 2018 (2017 - two customers represented 16.0% and 14.8%). The Company believes that its expected credit losses are limited due to the protection afforded to the Company by the Perishable Agricultural Commodities Act As at December 31, 2018, the allowance for doubtful accounts balance was calculated based on the expected credit loss model and expected credit losses continues to be insignificant. At December 31, 2018, 90.3% (2017 - 89.4%) of trade receivables were outstanding less than 30 days, 8.3% (2017 – 7.4%) were outstanding for between 30 and 90 days and the remaining 1.4% (2017 - 3.2%) were outstanding for more than 90 days. Trade receivables are considered past due based on the contract terms agreed to with a customer. Aged receivables that are past due are not considered impaired unless customer specific information indicates otherwise. ii) Interest rate risk Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on its long-term debt, for which the interest rates charged fluctuate based on the 90-day iii) Foreign exchange risk At December 31, 2018, the Canadian/U.S. foreign exchange rate was CA$1.00 = US$0.7336 (2017 – US$0.7966). Assuming that all other variables remain constant, an increase of $0.10 in the Canadian dollar would have the following impact on the ending balances of certain consolidated statements of financial position items at December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 with the net foreign exchange gain or loss directly impacting net income (loss) for the years. December 31, 2018 December 31, 2017 Financial assets Cash and cash equivalents $ 839 $ 287 Trade receivables 328 349 JV Note receivable 1,335 Financial liabilities Trade payables and accrued liabilities (373 ) (371 ) Loan payable (193 ) (232 ) Net foreign exchange gain (loss) $ 1,936 $ 33 iv) Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its obligations as they fall due. The following are the contractual maturities of financial liabilities as at December 31, 2018: Financial liabilities Total 1 year 2-3 4-5 More than Long-term debt $ 38,588 $ 3,698 $ 34,296 $ 594 $ — Line of credit 2,000 2,000 — — — Trade payables 14,601 14,601 — — — Accrued liabilities 3,509 3,509 — — — Obligation under capital lease 180 78 92 10 — Other liabilities 1,050 — 1,050 — — Total $ 59,928 $ 23,886 $ 35,438 $ 604 $ — It is the Company’s intention to meet these obligations through the collection of current accounts receivable and cash from sales. If the current resources and cash generated from operations are insufficient to satisfy its obligations, the Company may seek to issue additional equity or to arrange debt or other financing. In addition, as at December 31, 2018, the Company has an operating credit facility of up to CA$13,000, less outstanding letters of credit totaling US$261 and CA$38. v) Fair values The carrying amount of short-term financial instruments, less provisions for impairment if applicable, is consistent with the fair value of such instruments. The Company’s debt bears a variable interest rate tied to market rates and therefore its carrying value approximates its fair value. |

Income Per Share | 21 INCOME PER SHARE Basic income per share is calculated by dividing the net income attributable to owners of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares in issue during the year excluding common shares purchased by the Company and held as treasury shares. For the Years Ended December 31, 2018 2017 Net income (loss) attributable to owners of the Company $ (5,145 ) $ 3,822 Weighted average number of common shares outstanding (thousands) 44,357 39,144 Basic income (loss) per share $ ( 0.11 ) $ 0.10 Diluted income per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of common shares outstanding to assume conversion of all dilutive potential common shares. The Company’s share options are potentially dilutive to common shares. A calculation is done to determine the number of shares that could have been acquired at fair value (determined as the average market share price of the Company’s shares for the year) based on the monetary value of the subscription rights attached to outstanding share options. The number of shares calculated above is compared with the number of shares that would have been issued assuming the exercise of the share options. If dilutive effect is less than zero, then issuance is anti-dilutive and is excluded from dilutive income per share calculation. For the year ended December 31, 2018, there were options to purchase 2,175 (2017 - nil) shares of the Company’s common stock that were excluded from the diluted loss per share computation because the impact of the assumed exercise of such stock options would have been anti-dilutive during the respective periods. For the Years Ended December 31, 2018 2017 Net income (loss) attributable to owners of the Company $ (5,145 ) $ 3,822 Weighted average number of common shares outstanding (thousands) 44,357 39,144 Adjustment for: Share options (thousands) — 1,164 Weighted average number of common shares outstanding for diluted income per share (thousands) 44,357 40,308 Diluted income (loss) per share $ (0.11 ) $ 0.10 |

Consolidation | Consolidation The consolidated financial statements of the Company consolidate the accounts of VFF and its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions, balances and unrealized gains and losses from intercompany transactions are eliminated on consolidation. |
Joint Venture | Joint Venture A joint venture is a contractual arrangement whereby the Company and other parties undertake an economic activity through a jointly controlled entity. Joint control exists when strategic, financial and operating policy decisions relating to the activities require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control. Joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method and are recognized initially at cost. The Company recognizes its share of the post-acquisition income and expenses and equity movement in the venture. If the cumulative losses exceed the carrying amount of the equity investment, they are first applied to any additional advances that are receivable from the joint venture to the extent of the total amount receivable. Additional losses are recognized only to the extent that there exists a legal or constructive obligation. |
Segment Reporting | Segment Reporting Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker. The chief operating decision-maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”).

Financial Instruments | Financial Instruments Financial assets and liabilities are recognized when the Company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument. Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the assets have expired or have been transferred and the Company has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership. Financial liabilities are derecognized when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expired. Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported on the consolidated statements of financial position when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Classification and Measurement The Company has assessed the classification and measurement of its financial assets and financial liabilities under IFRS 9 and has summarized the original measurement categories under IAS 39 and the new measurement categories under IFRS 9 in the following table: Measurement Category Original (IAS 39) New (IFRS 9) Financial Assets: Cash Trade receivables Marketable equity securities Other financial assets Amortized cost Amortized cost Available-for-sale Amortized cost Amortized cost Amortized cost Fair value through other comprehensive income Amortized cost Financial Liabilities: Trade payables Debt Derivative instruments Other financial liabilities Amortized cost Amortized cost Fair value through profit or loss Amortized cost Amortized cost Amortized cost Fair value through profit or loss Amortized cost There has been no change in the carrying value of our financial instruments or to previously reported figures as a result of changes to the measurement categories in the table noted above. |
Impairment of Financial Assets | Impairment of Financial Assets Prior to January 1, 2018, at each reporting date, the Company assessed whether there was objective evidence that a financial asset was impaired. The criteria used to determine if objective evidence of an impairment loss exists include: i) significant financial difficulty of the obligor; ii) delinquencies in interest or principal payments; and iii) it becomes probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization. If such evidence existed, the Company recognized an impairment loss as follows: i) Financial assets carried at amortized cost: The loss equaled the difference between the amortized cost of the loan or receivable and the present value of the estimated future cash flows, discounted using the instrument’s original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the asset was reduced by this amount either directly or indirectly through the use of an allowance account. ii) Available-for-sale Subsequent to January 1, 2018, the Company assesses all information available, including, on a forward-looking basis, the expected credit losses associated with its assets carried at amortized cost. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk. To assess whether there is a significant increase in credit risk, the Company compares the risk of a default occurring on the asset as at the reporting date with the risk of default as at the date of initial recognition based on all information available, and reasonable and supportive forward-looking information. For trade receivables only, the Company applies the simplified approach as permitted by IFRS 9 which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognized from initial recognition of the receivables. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash deposits held with banks, and other highly liquid short-term interest bearing securities with maturities at the date of purchase of three months or less. |
Trade Receivables | Trade Receivables Trade receivables are measured at amortized cost, net of allowance for expected credit losses. Credit is extended based on an evaluation of a customer’s financial condition. Accounts outstanding longer than the contractual payment terms are considered past due. The Company determines its allowance by considering a number of factors, including the length of time accounts are past due, the Company’s previous loss history and the customer’s current ability to pay its obligation to the Company. Trade receivables are recorded net of lifetime expected credit losses. |
Inventories | Inventories Inventories refer to deferred crop costs and other supplies and packaging which are incurred to date on current production and are not defined as a biological asset. Inventories of Company-grown produce consist of raw materials, labour and overhead costs incurred less costs charged to cost of sales throughout the various crop cycles, which end at various times throughout the year. Growing crops are accounted for in accordance with the Company’s policy on biological assets. Cost of sales is based on estimated costs over the crop cycle allocated to both actual and estimated future yields at each period-end The carrying value of agricultural produce is its fair value less costs to sell and complete at the date of harvest and is presented with biological asset on the consolidated statements of financial position. Supplies and packaging are recorded at the lower of cost or replacement cost. The cost of produce inventory purchased from third parties is valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. |
Biological Asset | Biological Asset Biological asset consists of the Company’s produce on the vines at year-end. |
Property, Plant and Equipment | Property, Plant and Equipment Recognition and measurement Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, except for land. Until the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, land had been stated at cost, and is now stated at fair value and will be revalued every three years by an independent external appraiser. Any revaluation increase arising on appraisal of land is recognized in other comprehensive income on the consolidated statements of (loss) income and revaluation surplus on the statements of financial position. Any revaluation decrease arising on appraisal of land is also charged to other comprehensive income and, to the extent of any credit balance existing, debited to revaluation surplus in equity with the excess recognized in net income or loss, Property, plant and equipment costs include expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The cost of self-constructed assets includes the cost of materials and direct labour, any other costs directly attributable to bringing the assets to a working condition for their intended use, the costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located, and borrowing costs. When parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment. The gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount of the property, plant and equipment, and is presented net within gain/loss on disposal of assets in the consolidated statements of (loss) income. Depreciation Depreciation is based on the cost of an asset less its residual value. Significant components of individual assets are assessed, and if a component has a useful life that is different from the remainder of that asset, that component is depreciated separately. Depreciation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each component of an item of property, plant and equipment. Leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives unless it is reasonably certain that the Company will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term. Land is not depreciated. The estimated useful lives of the class of assets for the current and comparative periods are as follows: Classification Estimated Useful Lives Leasehold and land improvements 5-20 Greenhouses and other buildings 4-30 Greenhouse equipment 3-30 Machinery and equipment 3-12 Construction in process reflects the cost of assets under construction, which are not depreciated until placed into service. |
Impairment of Non-Financial Assets | Impairment of Non-Financial Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets are tested for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. For the purpose of testing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units or “CGUs”). An impairment loss is recognized for the amount, if any, by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use (being the present value of the expected future cash flows of the relevant asset or CGUs). |
Leased Assets | Leased Assets Leases where the Company assumes substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. Upon initial recognition, the leased asset is measured at an amount equal to the lower of its fair value and the present value of the minimum lease payments. Subsequent to initial recognition, the asset is accounted for in accordance with the accounting policy applicable to that asset. Other leases are operating leases and rent expenses are recognized in the Company’s consolidated statements of (loss) income. |
Borrowing Costs | Borrowing Costs Borrowing costs attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use. All other borrowing costs are recognized initially at fair value. Borrowings are subsequently carried at amortized cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognized in the consolidated statements of (loss) income over the year of the borrowings using the effective interest method. |
Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition Prior to January 1, 2018, revenue from the sale of produce in the course of ordinary activities was measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of returns, trade discounts and volume rebates. Revenue from the production and sale of power was measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Revenue was recognized when persuasive evidence existed that the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the customer, recovery of the consideration was probable, the associated costs and possible return of goods could be estimated reliably, there was no continuing management involvement with the goods, and the amount of revenue could be measured reliably. If it was probable that discounts would be granted and the amount could be measured reliably, then the discount was recognized as a reduction of revenue as the sales were recognized. The timing of the transfer of risks and rewards occurred at the time the produce had been successfully delivered, the risk of loss had passed to the customer, and collectability was reasonably assured. The Company adopted IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes The tax expense for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognized in the consolidated statements of (loss) income, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the consolidated statements of financial position dates in the relevant tax jurisdiction. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of the amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities. Deferred income tax is recognized, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the consolidated statements of financial position dates and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realized or the deferred income tax liability is settled. Deferred income tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized. Offsetting of deferred income tax assets and liabilities occurs only when the deferred income tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where there is an intention to settle the balances on a net basis. |
Share-Based Compensation | Share-Based Compensation The Company grants stock options and performance-based restricted share units (“RSUs”) to certain employees and directors. Stock options generally vest over three years (33% per year following the grant date) and expire after ten years. Each tranche in an award is considered a separate award with its own vesting period. The fair value of each tranche is measured at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Compensation expense is recognized over the tranche’s vesting period by increasing contributed surplus based on the number of awards expected to vest. The number of awards expected to vest is reviewed at least annually, with any impact recognized immediately. The RSUs granted are expected to be settled using the Company’s own equity and issued from treasury. The equity-settled share-based compensation is measured at the fair value of the Company’s common shares as at the grant date in accordance with the terms of the RSU Plan. The fair value determined at the grant date is charged to income when performance based vesting conditions are met, based on the estimate of the number of RSUs that will eventually vest and be converted to common shares, with a corresponding increase in equity. |
Provisions | Provisions Provisions, where applicable, are recognized in accrued liabilities when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is more likely than not that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, and the amount can be reliably estimated. Provisions are measured at management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligation at the end of the reporting period, and are discounted to present value where the effect is material. |
(Loss) Income Per Share | (Loss) Income Per Share Basic income per share are computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The treasury stock method is used for the calculation of diluted income per share. Under this method, the weighted average number of common shares outstanding assumes that the proceeds to be received on the exercise of dilutive share options are applied to repurchase common shares at the average market price for the period. Share options are dilutive when the average market price of the common shares during the period exceeds the exercise price of the options. |
Significant Accounting Judgments and Estimation Uncertainties | Significant Accounting Judgments and Estimation Uncertainties The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income, and expenses. These estimates and judgments have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in future periods. Critical accounting estimates and judgments i) Estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment Management estimates the useful lives of property, plant and equipment based on the period during which the assets are expected to be available for use. The amounts and timing of recorded expenses for depreciation of property, plant and equipment for any period are affected by these estimated useful lives. The estimates are reviewed at least annually and are updated if expectations change as a result of physical wear and tear, technical or commercial obsolescence and legal or other limits to use. It is possible that changes in these factors may cause significant changes in the estimated useful lives of the Company’s property, plant and equipment in the future. ii) Biological asset The fair value of the biological asset is derived using a discounted cash flow model. Management estimates the sales price of produce on the vine by utilizing actual sales prices for the first six weeks following the end of the reporting period and estimates the costs to sell and complete by projecting yields and crop, packaging, and transportation costs. The estimated costs are subject to fluctuations based on the timing of prevailing growing conditions and market conditions. Management has also used judgment in determining the point at which biological transformation has occurred to the point that they expect it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the crop will flow to the Company. iii) Inventories and cost of sales Cost of sales is based upon incurred costs, and estimated costs to be incurred, of each crop allocated to both actual and estimated future yields over each crop cycle. The estimates of future yields are reviewed at each reporting period for accuracy. However, numerous factors such as weather, diseases and prevailing market conditions can impact the estimation of pricing, costs, and future yields. The estimated costs to be incurred are based on references to historical costs and updated for discussions with suppliers and senior management. Inventories include the actual cost of the crop not yet defined as a biological asset, packaging supplies, and purchased produce, less the amounts that have been expensed in cost of sales. iv) Income taxes and deferred income tax assets or liabilities Management uses judgment and estimates in determining the appropriate rates and amounts in recording deferred taxes, giving consideration to timing and probability. Actual taxes could vary significantly from these estimates as a result of future events, including changes in income tax law or the outcome of reviews by tax authorities and related appeals. The resolution of these uncertainties and the associated final taxes may result in adjustment to the Company’s tax assets and tax liabilities. The recognition of deferred income tax assets is subject to judgment and estimation over whether these amounts can be realized. |
