Thunderbird Entertainment Group Inc.

Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Years Ended June 30, 2021 and 2020

==> picture [77 x 60] intentionally omitted <==

Independent auditor’s report

To the Shareholders of Thunderbird Entertainment Group Inc.

Our opinion

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Thunderbird Entertainment Group Inc. and its subsidiaries (together, the Company) as at June 30, 2021 and 2020, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IFRS).

What we have audited

The Company’s consolidated financial statements comprise:

  • the consolidated statements of financial position as at June 30, 2021 and 2020;

  • the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the years then ended;

  • the consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ equity for the years then ended;

  • the consolidated statements of cash flows for the years then ended; and

  • the notes to the consolidated financial statements, which include significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements section of our report.

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

Independence

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

Other information

Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the Management’s Discussion and Analysis.

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP PwC Tower, 18 York Street, Suite 2600, Toronto, Ontario, Canada M5J 0B2 T: +1 416 863 1133, F: +1 416 365 8215

“PwC” refers to PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an Ontario limited liability partnership.

==> picture [77 x 60] intentionally omitted <==

Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

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

If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the consolidated financial statements

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

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

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

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.

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

  • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

==> picture [77 x 60] intentionally omitted <==

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

  • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

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

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

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

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

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

The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor’s report is John Simcoe.

THUNDERBIRD ENTERTAINMENT GROUP INC. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements For the years ended June 30, 2021 and 2020

(in thousands of Canadian dollars, except for amounts per share and as noted)

1. NATURE OF BUSINESS

Thunderbird Entertainment Group Inc. (the “Company”), the ultimate parent, and its primary wholly owned subsidiaries: Thunderbird Entertainment Inc., Great Pacific Media Inc. and Atomic Cartoons Inc., are an integrated group of companies that develop, produce and distribute film and television programming for the domestic and international markets. As an independent distribution company, the Company also acquires, licenses and merchandises distribution rights. Thunderbird Entertainment Group Inc. is incorporated under the laws of British Columbia, Canada. The Company’s head office is located at 123 West 7[th] Avenue, Vancouver, B.C., V5Y 1L8.

Thunderbird Entertainment Group Inc. is a public company that is listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSX‐V”), which commenced trading under the symbol “TBRD” on November 2, 2018, and the OTCQX® Best Market, which commenced trading under the symbol “THBRF” on November 10, 2020.

The consolidated financial statements were approved and authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors on October 19, 2021.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Statement of compliance

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared 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”).

Basis of measurement

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

Functional and presentation currency

The consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars (“CA$”) which is the functional currency of the Company and its Canadian subsidiaries.

Reclassification of comparatives

Certain prior period amounts in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss) have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation, such as certain costs previously classified to general and administrative have been reclassified to direct operating. This reclassification had no effect on the reported results of operations.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied by the Company and its subsidiaries to all periods presented.

(a) Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all its subsidiaries. The Company’s principal wholly owned subsidiaries as at June 30, 2021, were Thunderbird Entertainment Inc., Great Pacific Media Inc. and Atomic Cartoons Inc. and subsidiaries are consolidated from the date of acquisition, being the date on which the Company obtains control, and continue to be consolidated until the date when such control ceases. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.

P a g e | 8

THUNDERBIRD ENTERTAINMENT GROUP INC. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements For the years ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 (in thousands of Canadian dollars, except for amounts per share and as noted)

(b) Significant accounting estimates and judgments

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and for the periods presented. Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable. Such estimates primarily relate to unsettled transactions and events as at the date of the consolidated financial statements. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates. Significant estimates and judgments made by management in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are outlined below.

Risks and uncertainties from COVID‐19

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) declared COVID‐19 a pandemic. In response to the WHO declaration and the continuing spread of COVID‐19, there have been several social distancing measures taken by the Company and third parties including governments, regulatory authorities, businesses and the Company’s customers that could negatively impact the Company’s operations and financial results in future periods. These conditions continued to exist as at June 30, 2021 and as of the date of reporting.

The Company has implemented a specific response plan, informed by measures recommended by public health agencies, to continue providing its services and support to customers while safeguarding the health and safety of employees. While the COVID‐19 pandemic continues to impact the Company in a number of ways, most significantly through disruptions in the production of content, the Company has remained fully operational throughout the pandemic. Due to the nature of the work environment and a strong demand, the Company has not had a significant negative impact to date.

Given the unprecedented and pervasive impact of changing circumstances surrounding the COVID‐19 pandemic, there is inherently more uncertainty associated with the Company’s future operating assumptions and expectations as compared to periods prior to COVID‐19. As such, it is not possible to estimate the impacts COVID‐19 will have on the Company’s financial position or results of operations in future periods.

Investment in content

The costs of acquiring and producing film and television programs are capitalized, net of federal and provincial program contributions earned and amortization. The estimate of declining balance amortization rates used by the Company depends on management’s judgment and assumptions concerning the economic useful life of the program, which is based on the pattern of historical experience and other factors. Fluctuations in the expected economic useful life could have a significant effect on net income (loss).

Leases

The Company determines the lease term as the non‐cancellable term of the lease, together with any periods covered by an option to extend the lease if it is reasonably certain to be exercised, or any periods covered by an option to terminate the lease, if it is reasonably certain not to be exercised. In its determination as to whether the Company is reasonably certain to exercise a renewal option, it considers all facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive for it to exercise the option. After the commencement date, the Company reassesses the lease term for whether a significant event or change in circumstances affects its ability to exercise the option or not has occurred.

Revenue when performance obligations are satisfied over time

Revenues recognized when performance obligations are satisfied over time, requires the Company to estimate the work performed to date as a proportion of the total work to be performed. Estimated costs‐to‐complete, percentage‐of‐completion estimates, and revenues recognized are reviewed monthly on a contract‐by‐contract basis. The impact of any revisions in costs and earnings estimates is reflected in the period in which the revision becomes known.

P a g e | 9

THUNDERBIRD ENTERTAINMENT GROUP INC. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements For the years ended June 30, 2021 and 2020

(in thousands of Canadian dollars, except for amounts per share and as noted)

Share‐based compensation

Amounts recorded for share‐based compensation are based on estimates of future volatility of the Company’s share price, market price of the Company’s shares at the grant date, expected lives of options and warrants, expected dividends and other relevant assumptions. The assumptions and models used for estimating fair value for share‐ based compensation transactions are disclosed in note 13.

Impairment of non‐financial assets

Intangible assets and goodwill are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Long‐lived assets that are not amortized are subject to an annual impairment test. For the purposes of measuring recoverable amounts, assets are grouped into cash generating units (“CGUs”). The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs of disposal and value in use, being the present value of the expected future cash flows of the CGU. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The key assumptions used to determine the fair value less costs of disposal and value in use of the CGU are disclosed and further explained in note 8.

Income taxes and deferred income taxes

Tax interpretations, regulations and legislation in the various jurisdictions in which the Company and its subsidiaries operate are subject to change and interpretation. Deferred tax assets are assessed by management at the end of the reporting period to determine the likelihood that they will be realized from future taxable income.

The current income tax provision for the year is determined according to complex tax laws and regulations. Where the effect of these laws and regulations is unclear, estimates are used in determining the provision for current income taxes that are recognized in the consolidated financial statements. The Company considers the estimates, assumptions and judgments to be reasonable, but this can involve complex issues which may take an extended period to resolve. The final determination of prior years’ tax provisions could be different from the estimates reflected in the consolidated financial statements.

(c) Foreign currency translation

Foreign currency transactions

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency at exchange rates in effect at the transaction dates. Foreign currency assets and liabilities are translated into Canadian dollars (“CA$”) at the exchange rate in effect at the consolidated statement of financial position date. Translation gains and losses are included in net income (loss).

Foreign operations

The Company has operations in the United States (“U.S.”) transacted via U.S. subsidiaries. The functional currency of its U.S. subsidiaries is U.S. Dollars (“US$”). The foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities are translated to Canadian dollars at exchange rates prevailing at the consolidated statement of financial position date, while revenue and expenses are translated using the average rate during the year. Shareholders’ equity is translated at historical cost. Foreign currency differences are recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) and in accumulated other comprehensive income in shareholders’ equity. As at June 30, 2021, the Company has sold its operations previously held in the United Kingdom (“U.K.”). Refer to note 4.

(d) Trade receivables and other

Amounts receivable are non‐interest bearing and are generally on 30 to 60‐day terms. Therefore, they are stated at their nominal value net of lifetime expected credit losses. Amounts receivable that are collectible within the normal operating cycle are included within current assets, of which the normal operating cycle of the Company can be greater than 12 months. Amounts receivable that are collectible within a period greater than the normal operating cycle are classified as long‐term amounts receivable. Refer to note 5.

P a g e | 10

THUNDERBIRD ENTERTAINMENT GROUP INC. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements For the years ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 (in thousands of Canadian dollars, except for amounts per share and as noted)

For trade receivables, the Company applies the simplified approach for determining expected credit losses, which requires it to determine the lifetime expected losses for all of its trade receivables. The expected lifetime credit loss provision for trade receivables is based on historical counterparty default rates and adjusted for relevant forward‐ looking information, as required. Since most of its customers are considered to have low default risk and the historical default rate and frequency of loss are low, the lifetime expected credit loss allowance for trade receivables is nominal as at June 30, 2021 and 2020.

(e) Investment in content

Investment in content is accounted for as an intangible asset and represents the unamortized costs of programs that have been acquired, developed, produced and/or distributed by the Company. Investment in content is classified into the following four categories: development costs, content in production, released content and acquired content. Development costs represent expenditures made on content prior to production which are either transferred once production commences or expensed when the costs are determined not to be recoverable. For content in production and released content, capitalized costs include all direct production and financing costs incurred during production that are expected to benefit future periods, net of government assistance from various federal and provincial government sources, and net of equity investment by third parties that acquire participation rights. For acquired content, capitalized costs consist of minimum guarantee payments paid to the producer to acquire distribution rights.

The Company’s policy is to amortize released content using a declining balance method at rates ranging from 50% – 95% in the year that the episodes have been delivered and the license term commences and at rates ranging from 5% – 10% annually for the following two years. Thereafter released content is amortized on a straight‐line basis over seven years. Other acquired content is amortized on a straight‐line basis over seven years. Investment in content that is determined to have limited benefit in future periods is fully amortized in the first year.

The valuation of investment in content, including acquired rights, is reviewed quarterly and any portion of the unamortized amount that appears not to be recoverable from future net revenues is recognized as accelerated amortization within direct operating expenses during the period the loss becomes evident.

(f) Property and equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization of the assets’ costs less estimated residual value is recognized over the estimated service lives of the assets using the following rates and methods:

Computer equipment 30%‐55% declining balance Furniture and equipment 20% declining balance Vehicles 30% declining balance Leasehold improvements Over the lease term or useful life, whichever is shorter

Residual values, method of amortization and service lives of the assets are reviewed annually and adjusted if appropriate.

(g) Leases

Right‐of‐use assets

At the lease commencement date, the Company recognizes a right‐of‐use asset (“ROU asset”) at an amount equal to the lease liability and adjusted to include any prepaid lease payments, less any lease incentives, plus initial direct costs incurred, and any costs of dismantling and restoring an asset to a specific condition. The ROU assets are amortized over a period which is the earlier of the end of the asset’s estimated useful life or the end of the lease term. Amortization of ROU assets are included in amortization of property and equipment and intangible assets expense in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss) and ROU assets are

THUNDERBIRD ENTERTAINMENT GROUP INC. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements For the years ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 (in thousands of Canadian dollars, except for amounts per share and as noted)

presented as a component of property and equipment in the consolidated statement of financial position.

Under IFRS 16, ROU assets are tested for impairment in accordance with IAS 36, Impairment of Assets , which replaces the previous requirement to recognize a provision for onerous lease contracts under IAS 37, Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets .

Lease obligations

The lease obligation is initially measured as the present value of the future payments discounted using the rate implicit in the lease. However, if that rate is not readily determinable, the entity’s incremental borrowing rate (“IBR”) is to be used. An entity’s IBR is the rate the Company would have to pay for similar assets at similar locations over a similar term. Subsequent to initial measurement, lease obligations are amortized in a similar manner to finance leases under IAS 17, Leases (“IAS 17”). Interest charges are reported as part of finance costs in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss) and lease obligations are reported as a separate line item in the consolidated statement of financial position.

Subleases

When the Company enters into sublease arrangements as an intermediate lessor, it assesses whether the sublease is classified as a finance sublease or an operating sublease by reference to the corresponding ROU asset arising from the head lease, rather than by reference to the underlying asset. A sublease is a finance sublease if substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the related ROU asset on the head lease have been transferred to the sub‐lessee.

Lease modifications

A lease modification, depending upon the nature of the modification, will be accounted for as a separate lease or as a remeasurement of the lease liability with a corresponding adjustment to the ROU asset or as a gain or loss if the carrying amount of the ROU asset has been reduced to zero.

Practical expedient

The Company has elected not to apply the requirements of IFRS 16 to short‐term premise and equipment leases with a term of 12 months or less and to certain equipment leases for which the underlying assets are of low value. Lease payments associated with these short‐term and low‐value leases are recognized as an expense in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss) or capitalized to investment in content in the consolidated statement of financial position.

(h) Goodwill and intangible assets

Goodwill represents the cost of acquired businesses in excess of the fair value of net identifiable assets acquired at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is carried at cost less any accumulated impairment losses and is not subject to amortization. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. Goodwill is allocated to a CGU, or group of CGUs, which is the lowest level within an entity at which the goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes, which is not higher than an operating segment. Impairment is tested by comparing the recoverable amount of goodwill assigned to a CGU or group of CGUs to its carrying value. Refer to note 8.

Also included in goodwill and intangible assets are other identifiable intangible assets, including distribution libraries and customer relationships. These assets are carried at cost, including amounts of purchase price allocations upon acquisitions. Amortization is charged to direct operating expenses in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss) on a straight‐line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets.

(in thousands of Canadian dollars, except for amounts per share and as noted)

The following intangible assets are amortized over the following periods:

Distribution libraries 10 years straight‐line Customer relationships 4 years straight‐line

(i) Impairment of non‐financial assets

The Company reviews the carrying amounts of its property and equipment and intangible assets at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If indicators of impairment exist, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs of disposal and value in use, being the present value of the expected future cash flows. If the carrying value of the asset exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is written down with an impairment loss recognized in net income (loss).

Reversals of impairments are recognized when there has been a subsequent increase in the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of amortization, if no impairment loss had been recognized.

(j) Revenue recognition

Revenue from licensing of film and television programs is recognized when the performance obligations under the contract have been achieved and the goods or services have been transferred to the customer, which are normally:

  • Persuasive evidence of a contractual arrangement exists;

  • The program is complete;

  • The contractual delivery arrangements have been satisfied;

  • The customer has access to the licensed content and has the contractual right to broadcast or stream the content;

  • The fee is fixed or determinable;

  • Collection of the fee is reasonably assured; and

  • The costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the contractual arrangement can be measured reliably.

Cash received pursuant to broadcast license fees or distribution advances is recorded as deferred revenue and recognized as revenue at a specific point in time, after all foregoing conditions of revenue recognition have been met.

Revenue from production services for third parties and other revenues where performance obligations are satisfied over time are recognized based upon the proportion of costs incurred in the current year to total expected costs. A provision is accrued for the entire amount of future estimated losses, if any, on productions‐in‐progress.

Gross versus net revenues

The Company evaluates arrangements with third parties to determine whether the Company acts as the principal or agent under the terms of each arrangement. The Company acts as the principal in its arrangements for production services, licensing of content and distribution, and as such, revenues are reported on a gross basis, resulting in revenues and expenses being classified in their respective financial statement line items. However, in a small number of distribution arrangements, the Company acts as the agent, and as such, revenues are reported on a net basis, resulting in revenues being presented net of any related expenses. Determining whether the Company acts as principal or agent is based on an evaluation of which party has substantial risks and rewards of ownership under the terms of an arrangement. The most significant factors that the Company considers include identification of the primary obligor, general and inventory risk and discretion in establishing prices.

(k) Earnings (loss) per share

Basic earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing the net income (loss) for the year attributable to common shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year.

P a g e | 13

THUNDERBIRD ENTERTAINMENT GROUP INC. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements For the years ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 (in thousands of Canadian dollars, except for amounts per share and as noted)

Diluted EPS is computed by adjusting the weighted average number of common shares for the effects of dilutive instruments such as convertible securities, warrants and share‐based options. Dilutive instruments are excluded from the computation if their effect is anti‐dilutive.

(l) Finance costs

Direct costs relating to the issuance of shares are charged directly to share capital. Direct costs relating to long‐term debt financing are recorded as a reduction of long‐term debt and amortized using the effective interest method and the expense is included in interest expense.

Interim production financing relates to short‐term financing for the Company’s film and television productions. Interest payable on interim production financing loans is capitalized and forms part of the cost of production of investment in content until such time as the assets are substantially complete and ready for use.

(m) Share‐based compensation

The Company issues stock options which are service based and accounted for as equity‐settled awards. The stock options initially vest 25% at the grant date and subsequently vest 25% over the next three anniversary dates as service conditions are met. Obligations for issuance of common shares accrued over the vesting period, using fair values as at the grant date, are recorded as share‐based compensation expense with a corresponding increase to contributed surplus. Fair values are determined at issuance using the Black‐Scholes option pricing model.

(n) Fair value measurement

The Company measures financial instruments at fair value at each consolidated statement of financial position date. Fair values of financial instruments measured at amortized cost are disclosed in note 17.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:

  • In the principal market for the asset or liability, or

  • In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.

The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data is available to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs.

The Company classifies the fair value of these transactions according to a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to fair value measurement. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3 – Inputs that are not based on observable market data.

For assets and liabilities that are recognized in the consolidated financial statements on a recurring basis, the Company determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by reassessing categorization (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.

(o) Financial instruments

Financial assets and liabilities are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions that define the instrument. Financial assets and liabilities are initially recognized at fair value. This initial fair value is

P a g e | 14

THUNDERBIRD ENTERTAINMENT GROUP INC. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements For the years ended June 30, 2021 and 2020

(in thousands of Canadian dollars, except for amounts per share and as noted)

normally the transaction price plus, in the case of financial assets not at fair value through profit or loss, directly attributable transaction costs.

Subsequent measurement of the Company’s financial instruments depends on their classification determined by the purpose for which the instruments were acquired or issued, their characteristics, and the Company’s designation of such instruments as described below.

Financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income (loss).

Financial assets at amortized cost

Loans and receivables are financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. After initial measurement, these assets are measured at amortized cost at the settlement date using the effective interest method of amortization. Gains and losses are recognized in income when the loans and receivables are derecognized or impaired, as well as through the amortization process. Cash and cash equivalents and amounts receivable are classified as amortized cost.

Financial liabilities at amortized cost

Financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost at the settlement date using the effective interest method of amortization. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities, interim production financing, long‐term debt and redeemable preferred shares are classified as financial liabilities at amortized cost.

(p) Government financing and assistance

The Company has access to government programs, including refundable tax credits, that are designed to assist film and television production and distribution in Canada. Amounts received or receivable in respect of production assistance are recorded as a reduction of the production costs of the applicable production. Tax credits earned with respect to expenditures on qualifying film and television productions are recorded as a reduction to investment in content when the qualifying expenditures have been incurred and there is reasonable assurance that the credits will be realized. Tax credits earned with respect to production services is recorded as a reduction of the applicable expense item. Refer to note 14.

The Company also accrues for general government assistance programs, providing there is reasonable assurance that the Company has complied with, and will continue to comply with, all conditions of the government funding. Non‐repayable government assistance relating to current expenses is included in the determination of net income and is included as a decrease to the related line item in the statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Repayable government assistance and unspent government assistance is reported in liabilities.

(q) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand, deposits held with financial institutions and guaranteed investment certificates (“GICs”) with an original maturity of less than three months.

(r) Income taxes

Income tax expense comprises current and deferred income taxes.

Current income taxes

Current income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used are those that are substantively enacted at the reporting date.

P a g e | 15

THUNDERBIRD ENTERTAINMENT GROUP INC. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements For the years ended June 30, 2021 and 2020

(in thousands of Canadian dollars, except for amounts per share and as noted)

Deferred income taxes

Deferred income taxes are provided using the liability method on the temporary differences at the reporting date between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for accounting purposes. The change in the net deferred income tax asset or liability is included in income except for deferred income tax relating to equity items which is recorded directly in equity. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using the substantively enacted statutory income tax rates which are expected to apply to taxable income in the periods in which the assets are realized or the liabilities settled.

Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that the assets can be recovered. The carrying amounts of deferred tax assets are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable income will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income tax levied by the same taxation authority and the Company intends to settle its current tax assets and tax liabilities on a net basis.

(s) Segment reporting

The Company operates production entities and offices in Canada and Los Angeles, U.S.A. The Company’s business operates primarily through one operating segment being ‘film and television production and distribution’. The operating results of the segment are reviewed by the Company’s chief operating decision makers. The Company has determined that they have one segment for reporting purposes. As at June 30, 2021, the Company has sold its previously held operations in the United Kingdom (“U.K.”). Refer to note 4.

(t) Standards issued but not yet effective

Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for the current period and have not been early adopted. These standards are not expected to have a material impact on the Company.

(u) Statement of operations reconciliation

The effect of the changes made to the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended June 30, 2020 for the reclassifications as described in note 2 is as follows:

(v) Change in accounting policy.

In fiscal 2020, the Company completed a change in accounting policy whereby certain overhead costs previously expensed were capitalized to investment in content, specifically to content in production. This is in line with IAS 38, Intangible Assets , in that the cost of the investment in content asset will now comprise all directly attributable costs necessary to create the asset. The change in accounting policy provides that investment in content costs are more reflective of the relevant costs of production. The Company will amortize these costs in the same manner as all other investment in content costs as described in note 3(e). In addition to the above, the Company also reclassified certain overhead costs to direct costs.

4. NET ASSETS HELD FOR SALE AND DISCONTINUED OPERATION

In March 2021, the Company sold the shares of its U.K. operation. In March 2020, the Company had decided to cease its U.K. operation and classified the related assets and liabilities as held for sale. The results from the operation are classified as discontinued operations.

The Company believes that its loss allowance is sufficient to reflect the related credit risk based on the history of collections and forward‐looking information for collectability. Federal and provincial film and television tax credits receivable from government agencies are subject to audit by the applicable government agency. Management believes that the net amounts recorded are fully collectible. The Company adjusts amounts receivable from government agencies quarterly for any known differences arising from internal or external audits of these balances.

Impairment testing for goodwill

Goodwill is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if there are indications that the asset might be impaired. An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying value of the CGU exceeds its recoverable amount. For the purposes of allocating goodwill as at June 30, 2021, the Company has determined that goodwill is monitored based upon one operating segment being its film and television production and distribution (“production entities”). The Company tested the production entities’ goodwill for impairment as at June 30, 2021, in accordance with its policy described in note 3. As the recoverable amount to which production entities’ goodwill has been allocated was greater than its carrying value, the Company determined there was no impairment of production entities goodwill as at June 30, 2021.

For determining the recoverable amount of the CGUs goodwill, the Company used the value‐in‐use approach. To determine value in use, the Company utilized a two‐year cash flow forecast based on management’s best estimates considering historical and expected future production, distribution and other revenue deliveries, economic conditions and general outlook for the industry. The two‐year cash flow forecast was based on a two‐year, adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and share‐based compensation (“AEBITDA”) forecast that was presented to the Board of Directors. The forecasts beyond that of the budget were prepared for future periods of three more years, using growth rates based on historical and forecast revenue growth rates, with a view of reaching a steady state following the five‐year projection period. For forecasts beyond that of the budget, the Company has used an AEBITDA margin of 18%. The cash flows beyond the five‐year period are extrapolated into perpetuity using a terminal growth rate of 2.5%.

The valuation model also takes into account working capital and capital investments required to maintain the condition of the assets. The forecasted cash flows were discounted using a pre‐tax rate of approximately 20.7%.

The recoverable amount is most sensitive to changes in AEBITDA growth forecasts. The recoverable amount of the CGU was estimated to exceed the carrying amount of the CGU by $18,904 as at June 30, 2021. A decrease in the AEBITDA margin of 1.8% could cause the recoverable amount of the CGU to be equal to the carrying amount. Management believes any reasonably possible change in other key assumptions on which the estimate of recoverable amount was determined would not result in an impairment.

P a g e | 21

THUNDERBIRD ENTERTAINMENT GROUP INC. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements For the years ended June 30, 2021 and 2020

(in thousands of Canadian dollars, except for amounts per share and as noted)

The Company’s assumptions used in the model are affected by current market conditions which may affect expected revenue, particularly production and distribution revenues. The Company also has significant competition in the markets in which it operates which may impact its revenue and operating costs. The Company has made certain assumptions for the discount rate and revenue and expense growth rates to reflect possible variations in the cash flows; however, the risk premiums expected by market participants related to uncertainties about the industry or specific intangible assets may differ or change quickly depending on economic conditions and other events. Accordingly, it is reasonably possible that future changes in assumptions may negatively impact future valuations of the production entities’ goodwill and the Company would be required at that time to recognize impairment losses.

On the date of initial adoption, the Company applied the practical expedient to designate leases with terms of less than 12 months as short‐term. As a result, for the year ended June 30, 2021, $287 was expensed to office and administrative and $1,734 was capitalized to investment in content under the short‐term exemption and $134 was expensed to office and administrative and $11 was capitalized to investment in content under the low‐value exemption (2020 ‐ $629, $80, $69 and nil, respectively).

The following table presents a reconciliation of the Company’s undiscounted cash flows as at June 30, 2021 and 2020, to their present value for the Company’s lease obligations:

2021 2020
Within one year $ 5,998 $ 6,684

Non‐currentportion of lease obligations $ 20,303 $ 21,443

As at June 30, 2021, the total discounted lease obligations related to contracts with RBC amounted to $2,539, with $1,425 classified as current and $934 as non‐current (2020 ‐ $3,446, with $2,275 classified as current and $1,171 as non‐current).

Lease receivable

In October 2020, the Company entered into an assignment agreement for one of its leases for office space. As the Company has not been fully discharged from the original lease, the assignment is accounted for as a sublease. The assignment is effective from November 1, 2020 to the end of the lease term on December 31, 2028.

As the sublease has been assessed as a finance sublease, the ROU asset previously recognized has been derecognized and the Company has recognized a lease receivable. The lease receivable was measured at the present value of the future lease payments to be made by the assignee using an incremental borrowing rate of 5.4%. In relation to the above, the Company recognized a gain on disposal of ROU asset of $266.

In addition, the Company has fully impaired the leasehold improvements associated with this lease and has recognized a loss on disposal of property and equipment of $736.

Balance June 30, 2021 654,000 $ 576 $ 82

The Class A preferred shares were issued in fiscal 2016 under the provisions of the Small Business Venture Capital Act (British Columbia). Pursuant to these provisions, the shares were subject to a hold period of five years from the date of issuance, which expired on March 7, 2021. The Company has the option to retract the shares at a value of $1.00, $1.025, and $1.05 per share after the fifth, sixth and seventh anniversary dates of the share issuance, respectively. In addition, the shareholders may convert their preferred shares into common shares at a ratio of three preferred shares to one common share at any time after the fifth anniversary, or may redeem their shares at a price of $1.00, $1.025, and $1.05 per share after the fifth, sixth and seventh anniversary dates of the share issuance, respectively.

If all of the remaining Class A preferred shares are converted, the Company would need to issue 218,000 (2020 – 351,333) common shares.

As the Class A preferred shares are redeemable at the option of the holder on or after the fifth anniversary date of the issuance, they are classified as a liability and are recorded at amortized cost.

In addition to the Class A preferred shares issued, the Company determined that there were multiple elements within the preferred shares. An embedded derivative exists based on the preferred shares’ redemption value, being $1.05 per Class A share, based on the period of time the shares have been held.

(in thousands of Canadian dollars, except for amounts per share and as noted)

The residual element that exists after the fair value is allocated to the preferred share liability component is the equity value of the preferred shares and essentially represents the preferred shareholders’ ability to convert the preferred shares to common shares at any time after the fifth anniversary dates of the issuance. The value ascribed to the equity component of the preferred shares is recorded in shareholders’ equity under preferred shares on the consolidated statements of financial position.

During the year ended June 30, 2021, 400,000 preferred shares were converted by shareholders into 133,332 common shares of the Company (2020 – nil).

During the year ended June 30, 2021, the Company paid a dividend of $0.07 per Class A preferred share which amounted to $67 (2020 ‐ $0.07 per preferred share which amounted to $74).

Options will generally vest over a period of 36 months. The fair value of the options issued is recognized in share‐ based compensation over the vesting period, with a corresponding charge to contributed surplus. The maximum number of common shares issuable under the option plan is 10% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares at the grant date of an option.

In assessing the realization of the Company’s deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available against which the deferred tax assets can be applied in future periods. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the

periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. The Company has the following unrecognized deferred tax assets and unused tax loss carryforwards for which no deferred tax asset is recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position:

Other 57 57
Total assets not recognized $ 1,594 $ 1,324

As at June 30, 2021, the Company has non‐capital loss carryforwards of $5,947 (2020 ‐ $5,311), which are available to offset future taxable income. These non‐capital loss carryforwards expire between fiscal 2031 and 2041.

17. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Company’s financial assets and liabilities are classified and measured as follows:

Financial instrument Category Measurement
Cash and cash equivalents Amortized cost Amortized cost
Trade receivables Amortized cost Amortized cost
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities Amortized cost Amortized cost
Interim production financing Amortized cost Amortized cost
Redeemablepreferred shares Amortized cost Amortized cost

The carrying value of the financial instruments approximates fair value due to their short term to maturity.

The categories of the fair value hierarchy that reflect the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value are as follows:

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 or indirectly; and

Level 3 ‐ Inputs for the asset or liability based on unobservable market data.

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are transacted in active markets and have a hierarchy of Level 1. The carrying amounts reported on the consolidated financial statements for cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values due to their immediate or short‐term nature and are classified as Level 2. The carrying value of interim production financing approximates its fair value as the interim production financing and debt bear interest at rates that fluctuate with market rates and are classified as Level 2.

The Company’s Class A redeemable preferred shares are classified as Level 3. The redeemable preferred shares have a liability and equity component. The fair value of liability component was determined by discounted cash flows from expected future dividend payments using a rate of 8%.

Assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the placement within the fair value hierarchy.

The Company is exposed to credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk in the normal course of operations. The Company does not use derivative instruments to reduce its exposure.

The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company’s financial risk management framework and monitors risk management activities. The Company identifies and analyzes the risks faced by the Company and may utilize financial instruments to mitigate these risks.

Credit risk

The Company is subject to credit risk with respect to cash and cash equivalents and trade receivables. All cash and cash equivalents balances are held at major Canadian banking institutions. Trade receivables are mainly with Canadian broadcasters, large international distribution companies and online streaming services.

The Company had certain customers whose amounts receivable individually represented 10% or more of the Company’s total trade receivables of $15,594. As at June 30, 2021, two customers accounted for 64% of these receivables (2020 – two customers accounted for 71% of trade receivables).

The Company’s customers are considered to have low default risk and the historical default rate and frequency of loss are low, therefore the lifetime expected credit loss allowance for trade receivables is nominal as at June 30, 2021.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they are due. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking harm to the Company’s reputation.

The Company expects to satisfy obligations through cash on hand, cash flows from operations and refundable tax credit loans.

The timing of cash outflows relating to the financial liabilities is outlined below:

Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as interest rates and foreign exchange rates, will affect the Company’s net income and the value of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable limits, while maximizing returns.

i. Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that future cash flows will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on its interim production financing which bears a floating interest rate.

Based on the average carrying value of these facilities, a fluctuation in interest rates of 1% would represent approximately a $376 change to net earnings for the year ended June 30, 2021 (2020 ‐ $435). The Company has no interest rate hedges or swaps outstanding at June 30, 2021.

P a g e | 33

THUNDERBIRD ENTERTAINMENT GROUP INC. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements For the years ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 (in thousands of Canadian dollars, except for amounts per share and as noted)

ii. Foreign currency exchange risk

Foreign currency exchange risk is the risk that future cash flows will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company’s activities which expose it to currency risk involve the holding of foreign currencies as well as earning revenues and incurring expenses that are denominated in foreign currencies. The Company has engaged in certain foreign exchange hedging activities (foreign contracts on foreign currency client payments) and also mitigates its currency exchange risk by entering into natural hedges whereby foreign currency liabilities are offset by assets pledged in the same foreign currency.

For the year ended June 30, 2021, revenue denominated in US dollars accounted for 46% (2020 ‐ 38%) of total revenue, revenue denominated in AUD dollars accounted for 3% (2020 ‐ 3%) of total revenue and revenue denominated in GBP accounted for 0% (2020 – 2%) of total revenue. As at June 30, 2021, a 5% fluctuation in the US dollar exchange rate would have an impact of approximately $1,569 (2020 ‐ $779) on net earnings, a 5% fluctuation in the AUD dollar exchange rate would have an impact of approximately $166 (2020 ‐ $139) on net earnings and a 5% fluctuation in the GBP exchange rate would have an impact of approximately $1 (2020 ‐ $50) on net earnings.

The Company is also exposed to foreign exchange risk on its cash and cash equivalents, amounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and interim production financing that are denominated in US dollars and its amounts receivable denominated in AUD dollars. A 5% fluctuation in the US dollar closing rate would result in a change to net earnings for the year ended June 30, 2021 of approximately $429 (2020 ‐ $178) and a 5% fluctuation in the AUD dollar closing rate would result in a change to net earnings for the year ended June 30, 2021 of approximately $42 (2020 ‐ nil).

18. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to maintain financial flexibility in order to pursue its strategy of organic growth combined with strategic acquisitions, and to maximize the return to shareholders through the optimization of a reasonable debt and equity balance commensurate with current operating requirements. The Company defines capital as the aggregate of its shareholders’ equity and long‐term debt less cash and cash equivalents.

To facilitate the management of its capital structure, the Company prepares annual expenditure budgets that are updated as necessary depending on the various factors, including industry conditions and operating cash flows. The annual and updated budgets are reviewed by the Board of Directors.

The Company expects that its current capital resources will be sufficient to carry out operations beyond its current reporting period. The overall strategy with respect to capital risk management remains unchanged from the year ended June 30, 2020.
