THUNDERBIRD ENTERTAINMENT GROUP INC. Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements For the three and six months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 (in thousands of Canadian dollars, except for amounts per share and as noted) - Unaudited
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, BC, 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 interim condensed consolidated financial statements were approved and authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors on February 23, 2021.
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Statement of compliance
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34, Interim Financial Reporting , using accounting policies consistent 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”). Certain disclosures required by IFRS have been condensed or omitted in the following note disclosures as they are disclosed or have been disclosed on an annual basis only. Accordingly, these interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the years ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS and can be found on www.sedar.com.
Basis of measurement
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
Functional and presentation currency
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars (“CA$”) which is also the Company’s functional currency.
Reclassification of comparatives
Certain prior period amounts in these interim condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation, such as foreign exchange loss which has been aggregated. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations.
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the same accounting policies and methods as the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2020, except for the new accounting policy adopted and described below.
P a g e | 7
THUNDERBIRD ENTERTAINMENT GROUP INC. Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements For the three and six months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 (in thousands of Canadian dollars, except for amounts per share and as noted) - Unaudited
(a) New accounting policy adopted
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 right-of-use asset (“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.
(b) Significant accounting estimates and judgments
The preparation of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts. 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. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates.
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 at December 31, 2020. 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 prior periods. 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.
(c) Standards issued but not yet effective
There are no new standards issued but not yet effective as at July 1, 2020 that have a material impact to the Company's interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

| presented as held for sale and are as follows: | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| December 31, | June 30, | |||

The cumulative foreign exchange gains recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income in relation to the discontinued operation as at December 31, 2020 were $27 (June 30, 2020 – foreign exchange losses of $35).
Analysis of the results of discontinued operation is as follows:
| Three | months | ended | Six | months | ended | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| December 31, | December 31, | |||||||
| 2020 | 2019 | 2020 | 2019 | |||||

In assessing the fair values of the assets and liabilities, the Company determined that all assets and liabilities have a fair value which is equal to net book value. The Company determined the fair value of investment in content based on current negotiations with prospective buyers.

5. TRADE RECEIVABLES AND OTHER
| December 31, | June 30, | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Current | 2020 | 2020 | ||
| Trade receivables, net of loss allowance | $ | 10,586 |
$ | 9,731 |
| Deposits and prepaids | 3,433 | 3,246 | ||

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 and annually for any known differences arising from internal or external audits of these balances.
The aging of current trade receivables is as follows:
| December 31, 2020 June 30, 2020 Less than 60 days $ 9,822 $ 9,016 Over 61 days 764 715 $ 10,586 $ 9,731 |

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 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.
The continuity of the lease receivable is as follows:

16. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified into one of three levels that reflect the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value 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 interim condensed consolidated financial statements for cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, 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 their 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, trade receivables and production financing. Trade receivables and production financing receivable are mainly with Canadian broadcasters and large international distribution companies. For certain arrangements with licensees, the Company is considered the agent, and only reports the revenue net of the licensor’s share. When the Company bills a third party in full where it is an agent for the licensor, the Company records an offsetting amount in accounts payable to the licensee when the amount is collected from a third party. This reduces credit risk, as the Company is only exposed to the amounts receivable related to the revenue it records.
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 December 31, 2020.
All cash and cash equivalents balances are held at major Canadian banking institutions.
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.
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. The Company has no interest rate hedges or swaps outstanding at December 31, 2020.
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.
17. 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.
