Management's Responsibility for Financial Reporting

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of WildBrain Ltd. (the "Company") are the responsibility of management and have been approved by the Board of Directors (the "Board"). The Board is responsible for ensuring that management fulfills its responsibilities for financial reporting and is ultimately responsible for reviewing and approving the consolidated financial statements. The Board carries out this responsibility through its Audit Committee. The Audit Committee reviews the Company's consolidated financial statements and recommends their approval by the Board.

The Audit Committee is appointed by the Board and all of its members are independent directors. It meets with Company's management and reviews internal control and financial reporting matters to ensure that management is properly discharging its responsibilities before submitting the consolidated financial statements to the Board for approval.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. When alternative methods of accounting exist, management has chosen those it deems most appropriate in the circumstances. The consolidated financial statements include amounts based on informed judgments and estimates of the expected effects of current events and transactions with appropriate consideration to materiality. In addition, in preparing the consolidated financial statements, management must make determinations as to the relevancy of information to be included, and make estimates and assumptions that affect reported information. Actual results in the future may differ materially from our present assessment of this information because future events and circumstances may not occur as expected.

Key audit matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2021. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Key audit matter

Impairment assessment of goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives of the WildBrain Television and Peanuts cash generating units (CGUs)

Refer to note 3 - Summary of significant accounting policies, judgments and estimation uncertainty, note 10 - Intangible assets and note 11 - Goodwill to the consolidated financial statements.

As at June 30, 2021, the Company had goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets of $53.2 million and $397.6 million respectively related to the Company's WildBrain Television and Peanuts CGUs. Goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets are tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired. In assessing the goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets for impairment, management groups assets into CGUs and compares the carrying values of the CGUs to their recoverable amounts. The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal ("FVLCD") and value-in-use ("VIU"). Management applied the VIU model to determine the recoverable amount of both the WildBrain Television and Peanuts CGUs.

The VIU of both the WildBrain Television and Peanuts CGUs were determined by discounting three year cash flow projections prepared from business plans reviewed by senior management, extended for two additional years using industry outlook growth rate assumptions for a total forecast period of five years. The cash flow

How our audit addressed the key audit matter

Our approach to addressing the matter included the following procedures, among others:

• Evaluated how management determined the recoverable amount of the CGUs, which included the following:
• • Tested the appropriateness of the method used for determining the VIU for the WildBrain Television and Peanuts CGUs and the mathematical accuracy of the discounted cash flow models.
  • Tested the significant assumptions used by management in the discounted cash flow models. The following procedures were performed:

1. compared the fiscal year 2022 detailed revenue and profit forecast to historical results and external industry data;

1. for the WildBrain Television CGU, for fiscal 2022 we also compared the detailed revenue forecast to underlying contracts with broadcasters and historical subscription level trends;

1. assessed the reasonableness of the revenue and profit in management's detailed cash flow forecasts for years 2 to 5 by comparing the implied revenue and EBITDA growth rates to external industry data; and
