1 Nature of operations
Groupe Colabor Inc. (hereinafter the “Company”) distributes and markets food and food-related products in Canada.
The Company is incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act . It is a Canadian company headquartered at 1620 De Montarville Boulevard, Boucherville, Quebec, J4B 8P4. The Company’s shares and convertible debentures are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange under GCL and GCL.DB.A, respectively.
2 Significant accounting policies
General information
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Company were prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard ("IAS") 34, Interim Financial Reporting. Some information and notes disclosure in the consolidated annual financial statements have not been presented or are summarized when they are not considered essential to understanding the Company's interim financial statements. Therefore, these condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 28, 2019.
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the same accounting policies that have been adopted by the Company in its consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 28, 2019, except for the income taxes for the interim periods which are calculated according to the tax rate that would be applicable to the anticipated annual results in each jurisdictions and the leases as a result of the adoption of IFRS 16 Leases . The impacts of IFRS 16 on the condensed interim consolidated financial statements is disclosed in section New accounting policy adopted during the current fiscal year. The accounting policies have been applied consistently for all the periods presented except for IFRS 16.
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern and historical cost basis, except for certain financial instruments and pension plan's assets that are measured at fair value, and for defined pension obligations and provisions that have been recorded at present value. Financial information is presented in Canadian dollars, which is the Company's functional currency.
The net earnings (loss) for these interim financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the full-year net earnings. The seasonal nature is a significant factor in its quarterly results. Lower earnings are recorded during the first quarter. The second and third quarters are generally recording higher earnings than those recorded during the first quarter (see note 3 for the pandemic situation). Finally, since there are 16 weeks of operations in the last quarter compared to 12 weeks in the previous quarters, the fourth quarter is the most important one.
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been approved by the Company's Board of Directors on July 24, 2020.

Government grants
On March 27, 2020, the Government of Candada announced a new Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy ("CEWS"), effective March 15 to August 29, 2020, extended since, enabling Canadian businesses to meet the challenges of the pandemic. Certain eligibility criteria must be met in order to be eligible for the CEWS and receive a subsidy of 75% of employees' salaries, including a drop in eligible income which varies according to the periods concerned. The Government of Canada announced the eligibility criteria for the first four periods, until July 4, 2020. In the second quarter, the Company met the eligibility criteria for this grant, thereby allowing it to compensate part of the decrease in sales and the bottom line caused by the pandemic. As the eligibility criteria for the period starting July 5 are now known and the Company will be eligible for this grant in the third quarter.
The Company recognizes subsidies when recovery is reasonably secure. The grant is recognized using the cost reduction method, either as a reduction in the expense or in the asset to which it relates.
New accounting policy adopted during the current fiscal year
IFRS 16 - Leases
Accounting policy
In January 2016, the IASB published IFRS 16 which replace IAS 17 Leases. IFRS 16 eliminates the classification as an operating lease and requires lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability in the statement of financial position by eliminating the distinction between operating leases and finance leases.
In addition, IFRS 16 changes the definition of a lease, sets requirements on how to account for the asset and the liability including complexities such as non-lease elements, variable lease payments and options periods, changes the accounting for sale and leaseback arrangements, largely retains the approach to lessor accounting in IAS 17, and introduces new disclosure requirements.
IFRS 16 applies to fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2019. The lease obligation is equal to the net present value of future lease payments discounted using the implicit rate of the lease, if this rate can be determined or the Company incremental borrowing rate. The future lease payments include:
-
Fixed payments and variable lease payments that are based on a index or a rate;
-
The exercise price of a purchase option if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise that option; and
-
Payments of penalties for terminating the lease if the Company expects to terminate the lease before the term.
Right-of-use assets are measured at cost which includes the initial lease liability amount, adjusted for payments made at or before the lease commencement date, lease incentives, initial direct costs and restoration costs. Right-of-use assets are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses and are depreciated over the shorter period of the lease term or useful life of the underlying asset.
The Company uses the practical expedient permitted for leases whose underlying assets have a low value and those whose term is less than twelve months.

(in thousands of Canadian dollars, except number of shares and per share data)
Impact of adoption
The Company adopted IFRS 16 on December 29, 2019 using the modified retrospective approach. The Company has recorded the cumulative effects of initial application as adjustment to deficit as of December 29, 2019 without restatement of the comparative period. At the adoption date, lease liability for leases previously classified as operating leases under IAS 17 equals the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or the Company's incremental borrowing rate as permitted under IFRS 16. The Company elected to measure the underlying right-of-use asset at an amount equal to the lease liability.
At the adoption date, the Company has used the following practical expedients permitted by IFRS 16:
-
Keep the definition of a lease included under IAS 17 for existing contracts at the date of initial application, allowing the Company not to reassess all contracts;
-
Apply the standard to a portfolio of leases with similar characteristics and use a single discount rate to the portfolio. This measure has been used for vehicle contracts;
-
Exclude initial direct costs from the measurement of the right-of-use asset; and
-
Use hindsight in determining lease term at the date of initial application.
Adjustment to opening equity is related to an impairment charge of $3,308, net of a deferred income taxes of $734, recorded on the right-of-use assets for which the fair value was lower than the carrying amount.
The impacts of adopting IFRS 16 on the Company's balance sheet as at December 29, 2019 was as follows:

3 Significant estimates and judgments
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization has qualified the Covid-19 virus as a global pandemic ("pandemic"). This pandemic has forced governments around the world to implement emergency measures to slow the spread of the virus, such as the travel ban, the closure of non-essential services, the confinement of citizens and physical distancing, resulting in an economic slowdown. The Company, as a food distributor, is considered as an essential service and has continued to operate while having implemented various measures to protect its customers, suppliers and employees. Although deconfinement measures and the resumption of activities in several sectors have started during the second quarter, this pandemic could continue to have an impact on customer demand, and therefore on the number of employees needed, could require tighter government regulations and increased government intervention, these factors could negatively affect operations, financial results and the balance sheet of the Company.
The preparation of the financial statements requires the management of the Company to undertakes some judgments and estimates about the recognition and measurement of the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses which are based on the facts and information that are available to management. Because of the pandemic, management has revised its judgments and estimates as part of the preparation of its interim condensed consolidated financial statements and concluded that there was no significant change as of June 13, 2020 compared to the last fiscal year ending December 28, 2019.
In the first quarter of 2020, the Company updated the goodwill and trademarks impairment tests performed as of December 28, 2019 due to the pandemic. To assess the recoverable value of the CGUs, the Company used the forecasts made as of December 28, 2019 adjusted for the known and potential impacts of the pandemic. This pandemic is causing a lot of uncertainty for which management has made certain assumptions for the purpose of impairment testing, including a return to normality in the coming months. The Company has used average sales decrease and growth rates ranging from -7.84% to 0.25% (from -6.2% to 1.4% in 2019) to reflect a decrease of sales for the second quarter and a growth thereafter so the EBITDA generated by these divisions will be comparable to previous years by the end of fiscal year 2020, either by a resumption of economic activities in Quebec or by mitigation measures that the management of the Company has put in place during the first quarters. The Company has used a discount rate of 10.8% (10.1% as of December 28, 2019). These discount rates represent the weighted average cost of capital for the Company and for companies operating in the same sector of activity as the CGU. As of March 21, 2020, no impairment was required since the fair value of the CGUs was greater than its carrying value.
As of June 13, 2020, management has not deemed it necessary to update the impairment tests since no new element or new facts has occurred since March 21, 2020 and the results of the second quarter were greater than those initially estimated and used for impairment testing.
Given the uncertainty surrounding the pandemic's duration, extend and economic impact, the assumptions used may be different. Management will continue to monitor the developments of the pandemic and the possible impacts on the fair value of goodwill and trademarks over the coming months.
The duration and impact of the pandemic is currently unknown, and it is impossible for management to reliably estimate the extent and impact of these developments, as well as the impact on the financial results and financial position of the Company for the coming periods. Depending on the duration of this pandemic and changes in the industry, the impacts could be significant.

4 Operating segments
The Company has two reportable segments: Distribution and Wholesale. These operating segments are monitored and strategic decisions are made on the basis of segment operating earnings. Management does not take assets and liabilities into account when analyzing individual segments.
The Distribution segment's operations include the distribution of food products in hotels, restaurants and institutions ("HRI") and retail market. In that segment, the Company distributes specialized products such as meat, fish and sea food ("Specialty Distribution") as well as general food related products ("Broadline Distribution"). These different types of products are grouped under the same segment because of their similar nature, type of clients and distribution methods.
The Wholesale segment's operations include the sale of general food related products to distributors from its distribution center in Boucherville.
The Company and its chief operating decision-maker are assessing the performance of each segment based on adjusted EBITDA, which corresponds to sales minus cost of goods sold and operating expenses from continuing operations. The other expenses are recorded on a consolidated basis, therefore they are not considered in the adjusted EBITDA. Inter-segment eliminations and others eliminate all intersegment transactions included in the operating earnings for each segment and include headquarters' operations. Transactions between segments are recorded at a value agreed upon by both parties.

Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)
(in thousands of Canadian dollars, except number of shares and per share data)
The fair value of subordinated debt was determined by discounting future cash flows at 6.5% (6.5% as at December 28, 2019), the current rate of subordinated debt.
The fair value of the convertible debentures was determined based on the trading price on June 13, 2020.
Fair value measurement
When determining an asset or a liability's fair value, the Company uses observable market data as much as possible. Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value are presented using a three-level fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the fair value measurements of these items. The three fair value hierarchy levels are as follows:
-
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
-
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly;
-
Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.
As at June 13, 2020, the Company has classified the fair value measurement of non-current liabilities presented in the table above as follows: Convertible debentures (Level 1) and Subordinated debt (Level 2). There was no transfer between the levels during the 12 and 24-week periods ended June 13, 2020.
B) Financial risks management
The Company is exposed to various financial risks resulting from its operating, investing and financing activities. The Company's management manages financial risks in the purpose of limiting the Company's main financial risk exposure and its financial risk management policies are detailed below. The Company does not enter into financial instrument agreements, including derivative financial instruments, for speculative purposes.
Interest rate risk
The credit facility bears interest at variable rates, and this exposes the Company to the cash flow risks resulting from interest rate fluctuations. The Company's other financial assets and liabilities do not result in any interest rate risk since they do not bear interest at variable rates. The Company manages its interest rate risk exposure through an appropriate mix of fixed-rate and variable-rate financial liabilities.
No significant changes occurred to the Company's exposure for this risk since December 28, 2019.
Credit risk
The carrying amount on the consolidated statements of financial position of trade and other accounts receivable and loans receivable represents the maximum amount exposed to credit risk.
The Company's credit risk is primarily attributable to its trade accounts receivable and loans receivable. The credit risk related to trade accounts receivable is generally diversified. The Company requires a guarantee or letter of credit from some of its customers. As at June 13, 2020, the Company had guarantees for about 1.0% of its trade accounts receivable (1.0% as at December 28, 2019). In addition, following the pandemic, the payment terms of some customers have been modified for prepayments or payments on delivery in order to minimize credit risks. An additional provision for bad debts in the amount of $226 and $516 was recorded during the 12 and 24-week periods ended June 13, 2020, respectively, following the temporary closure of some of our customers in the restaurant industry.

(in thousands of Canadian dollars, except number of shares and per share data)
The Company's policy is to have each customer undergo a credit check.
The credit risk related to loans receivable is not diversified. For some of its loans, the Company has a movable mortgage on the assets held by the borrower.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk management serves to maintain a sufficient amount of cash and sources of financing in the form of authorized bank loans. The Company establishes budget estimates and cash flow forecasts to ensure it has the necessary funds to fulfill its obligations. These forecasts are updated on a regular basis to consider the impacts of the rapidly evolving Covid-19 pandemic. According to our updated forecast based on information currently available to management, the Company is expecting to be able to meet its obligations for the next 12 to 15 months by using future cash flows from operating and financing activities.
As at June 13, 2020, the Company was in compliance with all debt covenants. To meet its capital needs, the Company has a credit facility of which $34,101 was available as of June 13, 2020.
15 Related party transactions
