1.

Nature of operations and going concern uncertainty

The Very Good Food Company Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated on December 27, 2016, under the laws of the province of British Columbia, Canada. The Company is an emerging plant-based food technology company that designs, develops, produces, distributes, and sells a variety of plant-based meats and other food alternatives. To date, the Company has developed a core product line under The Very Good Butchers brand. The Company changed its name from The Very Good Butchers Inc. to The Very Good Food Company Inc. on October 1, 2019.

Effective June 18, 2020, the Company's common shares commenced trading on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the "CSE") under the symbol "VERY". Effective July 27, 2020, the Company's shares commenced trading on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the symbol "0SI". Effective October 14, 2020, the Company's shares commenced trading on the OTC QB Market under the symbol "VRYYF". Effective March 17, 2021, the Company's shares commenced trading on the TSX Venture Exchange. The Company ceased trading on the CSE on March 16, 2021. Effective October 13, 2021, the Company's common shares commenced trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol "VGFC". The Company's registered and records office are located at 800 - 885 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, BC V6C 3H1.

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Company will continue as a going concern, which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and satisfy its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2022, the Company generated a net loss of $16,272,439 (2021 - $27,529,309) and negative cash flows from operations of $17,843,987 (2021 - $14,052,481).

The Company has incurred losses since inception and expects to incur further losses in the development of its business. Whether and when the Company can generate sufficient operation cash flows to pay for its expenditures and settle its obligations as they fall due is uncertain. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to manage costs, raise additional equity or debt on reasonable terms, and/or to commence profitable operations in the future. while the Company has been successful in the past in obtaining debt and equity financings, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to do so going forward. The existence of these conditions indicate that there are material uncertainties which may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management believes that it will need to seek additional financing within the near term in order to fulfil its outstanding obligations and fund ongoing operations. While there may be uncertainty on the success of the Company's future financings, the Company believes it is able to raise capital through financing in the near term to support its new refocused strategy. These condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not reflect the adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the reported expenses and statement of financial position classifications that would be necessary were the going concern assumption inappropriate. These adjustments could be material.

Covid-19 Estimation Uncertainty

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of the novel coronavirus ("COVID-19") a global pandemic. This has resulted in governments worldwide, including the Canadian government, to enact emergency measures to combat the spread of the virus. These measures, which include social distancing, the implementation of travel bans, and closures of non-essential businesses, have caused material disruption to businesses globally, resulting in an economic slowdown. As at June 30, 2022, the Company has not observed any material impairments of our assets or a significant change in the fair value of assets due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The situation is dynamic and the ultimate duration and magnitude of the impact of COVID-19 on the economy and the financial effect on our business, financial position and operating results remain unknown at this time. These impacts could include the ability of the Company to raise capital, the impairment in the value of our long-lived assets, or potential future decreases in revenue or the profitability of our ongoing and future operations. The Company is closely monitoring the impact of the pandemic on all aspects of its business.

Basis of presentation and measurement

Statement of compliance

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with International Accounting Standard ("IAS") 34, Interim Financial Reporting, using the same accounting policies as detailed in the Company's annual audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021. These condensed financial statements do not include all the information required for full annual financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee ("IFRIC"). These condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual audited consolidated financial statements.

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Company were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on August 11, 2022.

Basis of presentation

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries: The Very Good Butchers Inc., 1218169 B.C. Ltd., 1218158 B.C. Ltd., The Cultured Nut Inc., and Lloyd-James Marketing Group Inc., companies incorporated in the province of British Columbia, Canada, and VGFC Holdings LLC, a company incorporated in the state of Delaware, U.S.A.

The financial statements of the subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences. Control exists when the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on an accrual basis and are based on historical costs. The presentation and functional currency of the Company is the Canadian dollar. In the opinion of the Company's management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.

The Company structures its condensed interim consolidated statements of net loss and comprehensive loss on a functional basis.

Critical accounting estimates and judgements

The preparation of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the Company to make judgements, estimates, and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amount of assets, liabilities and contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and revenues and expenses during the period. The Company's management reviews these judgements, estimates and underlying assumptions on an ongoing basis, based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Revisions to estimates are adjusted for prospectively in the period in which the estimates are revised. Actual results may differ from these judgements, estimates and assumptions. Information on significant areas of judgement that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the condensed interim consolidated financial statements relate to the following:

The determination of the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is a key area of judgement applied in the preparation of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements as discussed above in note 1. Amortization of right-of-use assets and property and equipment are dependent upon the estimated useful lives, which are determined through the exercise of judgement. The assessment of any indicators of impairment of these assets is dependent upon judgements that take into account factors such as economic and market conditions and the useful lives of assets.

2.

Basis of presentation and measurement (continued)

Information on significant areas of uncertainty and critical estimates in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the condensed interim consolidated financial statements relate to the following:

Share-based compensation

The Company utilizes the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model ("Black-Scholes") to estimate the fair value of stock options and warrants granted to directors, officers, employees and service providers and to determine the fair value of its warrant derivative liability. The use of Black-Scholes requires management to make various estimates and assumptions that impact the value assigned to the stock options including the forecast future volatility of the stock price, the risk-free interest rate, dividend yield and the expected life of the stock options. Any changes in these assumptions could have a material impact on the share-based compensation calculation value. See also notes 13 and 16.

Carrying value of inventory

The Company records valuation adjustments for inventory by comparing the inventory cost to its net realizable value. The process requires the use of estimates and assumptions related to future market demand, costs and prices. Such assumptions are reviewed and may have a significant impact on the valuation adjustments for inventory.

Contingent consideration

Contingent consideration arising from a business combination that is classified as a liability is remeasured at fair value at each reporting date and subsequent changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration are recognised in profit or loss.

Impairment

The Company assesses impairment of non-financial assets such as right-of-use assets, and property and equipment.

At each reporting period, the Company reviews whether there are indicators that the recoverable amount of long-lived assets may be less than their carrying amount.

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment by estimating the recoverable amount of each cash generating unit ("CGU") or groups of CGUs to which the long-lived assets relate. Management estimates 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 calculations are based on the present value of expected future cash flows. When measuring expected future cash flows, management makes key assumptions about future growth of profits which relate to future events and circumstances. Estimation uncertainty relates to assumptions about future operating results and the application of an appropriate discount rate. Actual results could vary from these estimates which may cause significant adjustments to the Company's long-lived assets in subsequent reporting periods.

Leases

The lease liability and right-of-use asset valuation is based on the present value of the lease payments over the lease term. The lease term is determined as the non-cancellable term of the lease, which may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. The Company applies judgment in evaluating whether it is reasonably certain whether or not to exercise the option to extend or terminate the lease, and any modifications to the lease term will result in the revaluation of the lease. The present value of the lease payments is dependent on the Company's estimate of its incremental borrowing rates.

Future Accounting Pronouncements

The following IFRS standards have been recently issued by the IASB. Pronouncements that are irrelevant or not expected to have a significant impact have been excluded.

Amendments to IAS 1: Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-Current

The amendment clarifies the requirements relating to determining if a liability should be presented as current or non-current in the statement of financial position. Under the new requirement, the assessment of whether a liability is presented as current or non-current is based on the contractual arrangements in place as at the reporting date and does not impact the amount or timing of recognition. The amendment applies retrospectively for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this amendment on the Company's condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

Issued share capital during the six months ended June 30, 2022

On June 2, 2022, the Company closed a private placement offering with an institutional investor for gross proceeds of $8,184,762 (US$6,500,000) consisting of 13,100,000 common shares, 19,400,000 common share equivalents ("Pre-funded Warrant"), and 32,500,000 share purchase warrants ("Warrant"). Each Pre-funded Warrant is exercisable to acquire one additional common share at a purchase price of US$0.0001 per share. Each Warrant is exercisable to acquire one additional common share at a purchase price of US$0.2582 per share for a period of five years. As the exercise price of the Pre-funded Warrants and the Warrants were denominated in a foreign currency, the amount of proceeds received by the Company from the exercise of these Pre-funded Warrants and Warrants will be variable. As such, the 19,400,000 Pre-funded Warrants and the 32,500,000 Warrants were treated as a derivate liability and the fair value of $13,041,766 at the issuance date was netted against the net proceeds of the 13,100,000 common shares of $2,363,416, with the balance of $10,678,350 allocated to equity reserves (Note 13). In connection with the offering, the Company incurred share issuance costs of $936,659.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company issued a total of 714,824 common shares pursuant to the exercise of stock options at $0.25 per share for gross proceeds of $178,706. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company received $3,750 related to a stock option exercise which occurred during the year ended December 31, 2021.

Stock options (continued)

Share-based compensation expense is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recognized share-based compensation recovery of $2,099,714 (2021 - share-based compensation expense of $14,609,998) in equity reserves, of which $2,093,631 of share-based recovery (2021 - $8,086,241 of share-based compensation expense) pertains to directors and former officers of the Company. The Company did not grant any stock options during the six months ended June 30, 2022. The weighted average fair value of options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $4.93 per share. Weighted average assumptions used in calculating the fair value of share-based compensation expense are as follows:

Financial instruments and financial risk management

Fair value measurements

At June 30, 2022, the carrying value of the Company's cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, loan to related party, deposits, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and loans payable and other liabilities, all of which are carried at amortized cost, approximate their fair value given their short-term nature or discount rate applied. The Company does not have any financial instruments measured at fair value in the consolidated statement of financial position, except for its contingent consideration, which relates to the previous purchases of The Cultured Nut Inc. and Lloyd-James Marketing Group Inc. and for which there has been no change in fair value to June 30, 2022, and derivative liabilities, which was estimated at fair value using the Black-Scholes option pricing model (Note 13).

Financial risk management

The Company is exposed in varying degrees to a variety of financial instrument related risks. The Board of Directors approves and monitors the risk management processes, inclusive of documented investment policies, counterparty limits, and controlling and reporting structures. The type of risk exposure and the way in which such exposure is managed is provided as follows:

Financial instruments and financial risk management (continued)

Interest risk

The Company's exposure to interest risk relates to its investment of surplus cash and cash equivalents, including restricted and unrestricted short-term investments. The Company may invest surplus cash in highly liquid investments with short terms to maturity and would accumulate interest at prevailing rates for such investments. At June 30, 2022, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $6,156,414 (December 31, 2021 - $21,975,653) and a 1% change in interest rates would increase or decrease interest income by approximately $62,000 (December 31, 2021 - $220,000).

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of an unexpected loss if a customer or third party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, security deposits, accounts receivable and loan to related party. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, security deposits, trade and other receivables and loan to related party represent the maximum exposure to credit risk, and as at June 30, 2022, this amounted to $8,847,436 (December 31, 2021 - $27,833,734).

The Company's cash and cash equivalents are held through large Canadian financial institutions and no losses have been incurred in relation to these items. The Company's receivables are comprised of trade accounts receivable and GST receivable. At June 30, 2022, the Company has $77,540 (December 31, 2021 - $90,822) in trade accounts receivable outstanding over 60 days, of which the Company has recognized an allowance for doubtful accounts of $77,540 (December 31, 2021 - $41,350).

Concentration of credit risk

Concentration of credit risk is the risk of reliance upon a select number of customers which significantly impact the financial performance of the Company. The Company recorded sales from 3 wholesale distributors of the Company representing 32% (2021 - 12%) of total revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2022. Of the Company's trade receivables outstanding at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, 87% and 58% are held with five customers of the Company, respectively.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to pay financial instrument liabilities as they come due. The Company manages its liquidity risk by reviewing on an ongoing basis its capital requirements.

As at June 30, 2022, the Company has $6,156,414 (December 31, 2021 - $21,975,653) of cash and cash equivalents. The Company is obligated to pay accounts payable and accrued liabilities, the current portion of the lease liabilities, and the current portion of loans payable and other liabilities with a carrying amount of $13,389,139 (December 31, 2021 - $10,906,738) and contingent consideration of $450,000 within this year (see also note 1).

Foreign Currency Risk

The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk on fluctuations related to cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and deferred revenue that are denominated in US dollars. As at June 30, 2022, a 10% appreciation of the Canadian dollar relative to the US dollar would have decreased net financial currency denominated financial assets and foreign exchange loss by approximately $316,259 (December 31, 2021 - $1,398,296). A 10% depreciation of the Canadian dollar relative to the US dollar would have had the equal but opposite effect.

Price Risk

The Company is exposed to price risk with respect to commodity prices. Commodity price risk is defined as the potential adverse impact on earnings and economic value due to commodity price movements and volatilities. The Company closely monitors commodity prices of raw materials to determine the appropriate course of action to be taken by the Company.

Capital management

The Company's primary objectives when managing capital is to maintain a capital structure that allows financing options to the Company in order to benefit from potential opportunities as they arise. The Company manages its capital structure and adjusts it based on the funds available to the Company in order to maintain existing operations and fund expansion opportunities and continue as a going concern (Note 1). The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management, but rather relies on the expertise of the Company's management to sustain future development of the business.

The Company is continually evaluating expansion opportunities both domestically and within certain international markets. Depending on the timing and scope of expansion opportunities identified by the Company, there will be a requirement for the investment of additional capital for the Company to continue to successfully execute on its growth strategy. Based on the ongoing analysis of potential growth opportunities, the Company is not able to currently quantify any specific non-committed future capital requirements. The Company has historically relied on debt and equity markets to fund its activities. Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable to ensure optimal capital structure to reduce cost of capital. There were no changes to the Company's approach to capital management during the six months ended June 30, 2022.
