Value
LFL Group completed the transformative acquisition of
The Brick in 2013. We said creating a clear Canadian
leader would help us thrive in a changing and increasingly
competitive retail environment.
Over the previous seven years, we have become more
efficient and more profitable. We retired more than
$440 million of debt, invested $230 million of capital in
growth initiatives, and declared more than $300 million
of dividends to our shareholders. At the end of 2020,
our market capitalization was 70% higher than at the
end of 2013.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
1. Preface
The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) is prepared as at February 23, 2021 and is based on the consolidated
financial position and operating results of Leon’s Furniture Limited/Meubles Leon Ltée (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2020 and for the
years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. It should be read in conjunction with the fiscal year 2020 consolidated financial statements and
the notes thereto. For additional detail and information relating to the Company, readers are referred to the fiscal 2020 quarterly financial
statements and corresponding MD&As which are published separately and available at www.sedar.com.
Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This MD&A is intended to provide readers with the information that management believes is required to gain an understanding of Leon’s
Furniture Limited’s current results and to assess the Company’s future prospects. This MD&A, and in particular the section under heading
“Outlook”, includes forward-looking statements, which are based on certain assumptions and reflect Leon’s Furniture Limited’s current plans
and expectations. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results
and future prospects to differ materially from current expectations. Some of the factors that can cause actual results to differ materially
from current expectations are: a drop in consumer confidence; dependency on product from third party suppliers, further changes to the
Canadian bank lending rates; and further fluctuations of the Canadian dollar versus the US dollar. Given these risks and uncertainties,
investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results. Readers of this report are
cautioned that actual events and results may vary.
Financial Statements Governance Practice

The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards
(“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). The amounts expressed are in Canadian dollars (“C$”). Per
share amounts are calculated using the weighted average number of shares outstanding before and after considering the potential dilutive
effects of the convertible debentures and the relevant management share purchase plans for the applicable period.
The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of Leon’s Furniture Limited reviewed the MD&A and the consolidated financial statements,
and recommended that the Board of Directors approve them. Following review by the full Board, the fiscal year 2020 consolidated financial
statements and MD&A were approved on February 23, 2021.
2. Business Overview
Leon’s Furniture Limited is the largest network of home furniture, appliances, electronics, and mattress stores in Canada. Our retail banners
include: Leon’s; The Brick; Brick Outlet and The Brick Mattress Store. As well, The Brick’s Midnorthern Appliance banner alongside with the
Appliance Canada banner, makes the Company the country’s largest commercial retailer of appliances to builders, developers, hotels and
property management companies. Finally, the Company operates three ecommerce sites: leons.ca, thebrick.com and furniture.ca.
The Company’s repair service division, Trans Global Services (“TGS”), provides household furniture, electronics and appliance repair services
to its customers. TGS has contracts to support several manufacturer’s warranty service work in addition to servicing a number of individual
programs offered by other dealers. This division also performs work for products sold with extended warranties and is an integral part of the
retail offering. These extended warranties, underwritten by the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries are offered on appliances, electronics
and furniture to provide coverage that extends beyond the manufacturer’s warranty period by up to five years. The warranty contracts
provide both repair and replacement service depending upon the nature of the warranty claim.
The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries Trans Global Insurance Company (“TGI”) and its sister company, Trans Global Life Insurance
Company (“TGLI”) also offer credit insurance on the customer’s outstanding financing balances and third party customer balances. This
credit insurance coverage includes life, dismemberment, disability, critical illness, and involuntary unemployment. These credit insurance
policies are underwritten by TGI and TGLI as they are licensed as insurance companies in all Canadian provinces and territories.
The Company has foreign operations in Asia and the Caribbean, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries First Oceans Trading Corporation
and King & State Limited, respectively. These operations relate to the Company’s import and quality control program for sourcing products
from Asia for resale in Canada through its retail operations, and the retail banners that sell their extended warranties on appliances and
electronics to their customers, respectively.

COVID-19
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the novel coronavirus, which has the potential to cause severe respiratory illness
(“COVID-19”), a global pandemic. As an emerging risk, the duration and full financial effect of the COVID-19 pandemic is unknown at this
time, as is the efficacy of the government and central bank interventions. Any estimate of the length and severity of these developments is
therefore subject to significant uncertainty. The COVID-19 pandemic has increased the uncertainties around key assumptions used by the
Company in estimating the recoverable amount for the purpose of testing for impairment of property, plant and equipment, goodwill and
intangible assets. These key estimates include future cash flows, margins and discount rates. Accordingly, estimates of the extent to which
the COVID-19 pandemic could materially and adversely affect the Company’s operations, financial results and condition in future periods,
including the use of estimates and judgements described in Note 2 in the fiscal year 2020 consolidated financial statements, are also subject
to significant uncertainty.

Revenue
For the three months ended December 31, 2020, revenue was $675.1 million compared to $621.4 million in the fourth quarter 2019.
Revenue increased $53.7 million or 8.6% as compared to the prior year quarter due to increases in all product categories which were
driven by increased consumer demand that began in the second quarter 2020 and continued during most of the remainder of 2020.
The Company’s continued focus on eCommerce, including its live chat initiatives, generated a year over year 227% increase in eCommerce
driven sales during the quarter. The ongoing strength in eCommerce sales in the quarter also continue to validate that the Company’s digital
platform is quite scalable and capable of significantly contributing higher operating profit margin percentages due to its current operating
cost structure. The digital platform is key to allowing the Company to attract new customers as they begin their shopping experience online
and then continue in store to be assisted by our knowledgeable sales associates.
However, due to the provincially mandated retail showroom closures that began on November 12, 2020, in Manitoba for non-essential
items and which then continued to impact the municipalities of Toronto and Peel in the province of Ontario beginning on November 23,
2020, the Company was forced to temporarily restrict or temporarily close its retail showrooms in these affected areas. Notwithstanding
these showroom restrictions, the provincial governments continued to allow the Company to offer curbside pickup at our retail showrooms
and warehouses and to continue to offer home deliveries to our customers. All the Company’s retail showrooms in Ontario and Quebec
were temporarily closed to our customers beginning on December 26, 2020, due to province-wide temporary closures of all non-essential
retail showrooms. These further closures did not impact curbside pickup at our retail stores and warehouse locations and it did not impact
our ability to perform customer deliveries. In addition, it did not restrict our ability to provide sales and service to our customers by phone,
to perform repair or installation services at their required locations or to continue to maximize the Company’s use of our live chat initiatives
online. This continued focus on eCommerce driven sales, has generated a five-fold increase to the annualized run rate in eCommerce sales
subsequent to the quarter end December 31, 2020. These activities and results are due to the ongoing dedication and loyalty exhibited by
all of our associates across all divisions and subsidiaries of the Company. Subsequent to the fourth quarter ended 2020, the vast majority
of these provincial shutdown measures have been lifted and most of the affected retail stores have been reopened as of February 22, 2021,
albeit with certain indoor capacity restrictions.
The Company is very pleased that we now can recall and return almost all associates, back to their positions. To financially assist our
associates during these unprecedented times, the Company approved special payments related to the fourth quarter totaling several
million dollars and distributed these funds to both active and laid-off associates. Since the start of this pandemic, the Company chose
to provide special payments, assistance and benefits to both our actively employed and temporarily laid-off associates. The aggregate
total of these Company funded amounts for the 2020 fiscal year is approximately $10 million over and above the Company’s customary
compensation practices. These extra amounts demonstrate how important our associates financial and physical wellbeing continues to be
to the Company.

The Company was able to achieve a 7.3% increase in same store sales in the quarter compared to the fourth quarter 2019, despite two
important factors, first the significant restrictions imposed by the provincial governments of Ontario and Quebec related to allowing the
Company’s customers into its retail showrooms and second, the Company has over 50% of its retail store count in these two provinces.
Gross Profit
The gross profit margin of 45.73% in the quarter increased by 85 basis points from the fourth quarter 2019. This was due to increases in gross
profit across all the Company’s product categories.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (“SG&A”)

SG&A as a percentage of revenue in the current quarter was down by 128 basis points due to effectively managing overall SG&A
expenses throughout the quarter while at the same time adjusting advertising spend to drive traffic to both the retail stores and to the
Company’s websites.
Adjusted Net Income (1) and Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share (1)
As a result of the above and a continued reduction in net finance costs, adjusted net income in the current quarter totaled $56.3 million, an
increase of $17.0 million over the prior year’s quarter. This resulted in adjusted diluted earnings per share to increase to $0.71 per share in the
current quarter, an increase of 47.9% over the prior year’s quarter.

Net Income and Diluted Earnings Per Share

Net income for the fourth quarter of 2020 was $53.3 million, or $0.67 per diluted earnings per share as compared to the net income of
$39.3 million in the prior year’s quarter, or $0.48 per diluted earnings per share.

Revenue
For the year ended December 31, 2020, revenue was $2,220.2 million compared to $2,283.4 million in the prior year, a decrease of
$63.2 million or 3% as compared to the prior year. This reduction in revenue was driven by substantial reductions in physical store
traffic due to COVID-19 retail store closures across the country primarily during the months of April and May 2020. Total written
merchandise sales increased significantly during the period where all physical stores were permitted to reopen as compared to
the same period last year.

Same store corporate sales decreased 3.6% compared to the year ended December 31, 2019. Since the Company has over 50% of its retail
store count in Ontario and Quebec, the mandatory store closures during primarily the months of April and May 2020 in these two provinces
had a profound impact on the Company’s ability to generate positive same store sales growth.
Gross Profit
The gross profit margin increased slightly from 43.73% for the year ended December 31, 2019 to 44.32% in the year ended December 31, 2020.
This was due primarily to increases in gross profit margin across all product categories.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

As a result of COVID-19, and the ensuing rapid deterioration of customer traffic that began quickly near the end of March 2020
and continued during most of the second quarter, the Company undertook the necessary steps to right-size its operations and
preserve its liquidity.
In the second quarter, the Government of Canada announced the Canadian Emergency Wage Subsidy (CEWS) in order to help
employers return and keep their employees on their payrolls. The Company determined that it met the eligibility criteria and applied
for the CEWS in order to be better positioned to return most of its valued associates back to work by the end of the third quarter.
Excluding the CEWS, the Company’s SG&A as a percentage of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2020 was 35.25%, a decrease
of 112 basis points over the prior year of 36.37%. Including the CEWS, the Company’s SG&A as a percentage of revenue was 33.83%, an
improvement of 254 basis points over the prior year
Adjusted Net Income (1) and Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share (1)
Including the impact of the CEWS, adjusted net income for the year ended December 31, 2020 totaled $166.7 million an increase
of $59.9 million or 56.1% over the prior year. Adjusted diluted earnings per share for the Company increased by $0.74 to $2.04 per
share, an increase of 56.9% over the prior year.
Excluding the impact of the CEWS, adjusted net income for the year ended December 31, 2020 totaled $143.4 million an increase
of $36.6 million or 34.3% over the prior year. Adjusted diluted earnings per share for the Company increased by $0.45 to $1.75 per share,
an increase of 34.6% over the prior year.
Net Income and Diluted Earnings Per Share

Including the mark-to-market impact of the Company’s financial derivatives, net income for the year ended December 31, 2020 was
$163.3 million, $1.99 per diluted earnings per share (net income $106.9 million, $1.30 per diluted earnings per share in 2019).

(C$ in millions)
Total assets 2,418.6 2,146.5
Total non-current liabilities 581.8 628.5
Assets
Total assets at December 31, 2020 of $2,418.6 million were $272.1 million higher than the $2,146.5 million reported at December 31, 2019.
This change was driven by an increase in cash and cash equivalents.
Non-Current Liabilities
Non-current liabilities of $581.8 million were $46.7 million lower than the $628.5 million reported at December 31, 2019. This is primarily as a
result of the conversion of $50 million of the convertible debenture to 3,924,426 common shares at the holder’s option.

At December 31, 2020, the Company’s total net debt balance, excluding its lease liabilities, continues to reflect a net positive cash
position of $400.4 million. This positive result was achieved mainly due to generating over $400 million in free cash flow(1) in the year ended
December 31, 2020.

7. Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity Risk Management
The purpose of liquidity risk management is to maintain sufficient amounts of cash and cash equivalents, and authorized credit facilities,
to fulfill obligations associated with financial liabilities. To manage liquidity risk, the Company prepares budgets and cash forecasts, and
monitors its performance against these. Management also monitors cash and working capital efficiency given current sales levels and
seasonal variability. The Company measures and monitors liquidity risk by regularly evaluating its cash inflows and outflows under expected
conditions through cash flow reporting such that it anticipates certain funding mismatches and ensures the cash management of the
business within certain tolerable levels. These cash flow forecasts are reviewed on a weekly basis by management. The Company mitigates
liquidity risk through continuous monitoring of its credit facilities and the diversification of its funding sources, both in the short term as well
as the long term. As at December 31, 2020, unrestricted liquidity was $661.5 million comprised of cash and cash equivalents, debt and equity
instruments and its undrawn revolving credit facility.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company has taken the following actions to support its current operating environment and its
liquidity position:
• In order to protect the health and safety of our customers and associates, the Company introduced several measures in the year
to provide support to our associates and customers. These measures included: reduced store hours, contactless home delivery and
customer pickup protocols, enhanced cleaning protocols and actions to support physical distancing including limiting the number of
customers allowed in-store. The Company continued to operate its distribution centres and warehouse locations across the country with
enhanced safety protocols.
• During the year the Company exercised its $125 million credit accordion available under its Senior Secured Credit Agreement,
thereby increasing its total revolving credit facility to $175 million. No amounts have been borrowed under this revolving credit facility,
except for the reduction due to ordinary letters of credit drawn against this facility. This revolving credit facility will not expire until May
31, 2024. As at December 31, 2020, the Company’s unrestricted liquidity is $661.5 million, excluding its unencumbered real estate portfolio
comprising of land and buildings.

Increase/(decrease) in cash and cash equivalents 19.0 56.6 (37.6) 279.6 (1.2) 280.8
Cash Provided By Operating Activities

Cash from operating activities consist primarily of net income adjusted for certain non-cash items, including depreciation and amortization
and the effect of changes in non-cash working capital items, primarily receivables, inventories, deferred acquisition costs, accounts payable
and customers’ deposits.
For the three months ended December 31, 2020, cash provided by operating activities decreased by $56 million compared to the prior year’s
quarter. This movement is primarily driven by a change in customers’ deposits and inventory of $27.9 million and $42.4 million respectively.
This is offset by a movement in trade receivables of $20.1 million.
For the year ended December 31, 2020, cash provided by operating activities increased by $276.8 million compared to the prior year.
This movement is primarily driven by an increase in customers’ deposits and trade and other payables of $148.2 million and $42.8 million
respectively as well as a decrease in trade receivables of $28.4 million. Additionally, cash provided by operating activities before changes in
non-cash working capital increased by $54.7 million.

Cash Used In Investing Activities

Investing activities relate primarily to capital expenditures and the purchase and sale of debt and equity instruments.
For the three months ended December 31, 2020, cash used in investing activities decreased by $1.3 million compared to the prior year’s
quarter. This change is driven by an increase in the proceeds on the sale of debt and equity instruments of $5.9 million. This is offset by an
increase in the purchase of debt and equity instruments of $6.7 million.
For the year ended December 31, 2020, cash used in investing activities remained relatively consistent with the prior year, decreasing
slightly by $0.3 million. This movement is a result of an increase in the purchase of property plant and equipment of $10.6 million. This is
offset by an increase in the proceeds on the sale of debt and equity instruments and an increase in interest received of $8.5 million and
$1 million respectively.
Cash Used in Financing Activities

Financing activities consist primarily of cash used to pay dividends, loans and borrowings and lease liabilities.
For the three months ended December 31, 2020, cash used in financing activities decreased by $17.2 million compared to the prior year’s
quarter. The movement is primarily driven by the reduction in the repayment of the term loan of $20 million offset by an increase in the
payment of lease liabilities of $2.3 million.
For the year ended December 31, 2020, cash used in financing activities decreased by $3.7 million compared to the prior year. The movement
is driven by a reduction in the repayment of the term loan of $45 million. This is offset by an increase in the repurchase of common shares
of $38 million as well as an increase in the payment of lease liabilities of $4.9 million.
Adequacy of Financial Resources

At December 31, 2020, the Company’s current assets exceeded its current liabilities by $161 million and its cash and cash equivalents,
restricted marketable securities, and debt and equity instruments were $493.3 million compared to $203 million at December 31, 2019. Under
the Company’s Senior Secured Credit Agreement, the Company had unused borrowing capacity of $174 million as at December 31, 2020
($49.4 million as at December 31, 2019). The Company believes that its existing financing resources together with cash flow provided from
its current operations and its expanded revolving credit facility will provide a sound liquidity and working capital position throughout the
next twelve months.

8. Outlook
In the short term, the duration and full financial effect of COVID-19 is unknown, as is the efficacy of government and central bank interventions
to curb the spread of COVID-19 and stimulate the economy. Federal and provincial governments have instituted social distancing
requirements, temporary store closures, bans on non-essential travel and other measures that have directly led to uncertainty regarding
customer demand. The Company continues to actively monitor the situation and will continue to respond as the impact of the COVID-19
pandemic evolves, which will depend on a number of factors including the course of the virus, our customer and employee reactions and
any further government actions, none of which can be predicted with any degree of certainty.

Management anticipates that actions taken to date have positioned the Company strongly to weather the current crisis and to take
advantage of any accretive opportunities that may arise, including:
• The essential nature of some of the Company’s products and services. Household appliances that are necessary to cook and clean
have been deemed essential by provincial governments. The Company also owns the largest third-party appliance service company
in Canada, Transglobal Service, that has been operating across the country with enhanced health and safety protocols to protect both
our customers and our technicians.
• Rapid scalability of our eCommerce business. The Company’s eCommerce sales have continued to grow significantly in the fourth
quarter. Since the Company moved its online stores to the Shopify Plus platform, the eCommerce offering has become a better
customer experience and a more interactive offering. The platform has resulted in improved scalability and enabled significant
operating leverage, which has and continues to provide a competitive advantage to the Company.
• Unencumbered ownership of substantial real estate assets across the country. The Company owns 4.8 million square feet (office, retail,
industrial) of approximately 13 million square feet in use today by the Company. This is a significant competitive advantage in the current
environment, resulting in a far lower carrying cost for closed stores or other properties than similar leased properties. In addition, the
value inherent in this portfolio could enable the Company to readily access additional liquidity to support existing operations and take
advantage of accretive opportunities as they arise.
• A strong balance sheet as evidenced by the Company’s repayment of $440 million in various forms of debt over the last
7 years. The Company has unrestricted liquidity of approximately $661.5 million as at December 31, 2020, with room to expand
further if necessary.
On a longer-term basis, we still believe that the underlying Canadian economy remains relatively strong. Although it is difficult to gauge
future consumer confidence and what impact it may have on retail, we remain cautiously optimistic that our sales and profitability will
increase. Given the Company’s strong and continuously improving financial position, our principal objective is to increase our market share
and profitability. We remain focused on our commitment to effectively manage our costs but to also continuously invest in digital innovation
that we believe will drive more customers to both our online eCommerce sites and our 304 store locations across Canada.

11. Critical Assumptions

Use of Estimates and Judgments
Management has exercised judgment in the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies. The preparation of consolidated
financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the consolidated balance sheet dates and the reported amounts
of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates and other judgments are continuously evaluated and are based on
management’s experience and other factors, including expectations about future events that are believed to be reasonable under the
circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following discusses the most significant accounting judgments and
estimates that the Company has made in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.
Extended warranty revenue recognition

The Company offers extended warranties on certain merchandise. Management has applied judgment in determining the basis upon and
period over which to recognize deferred warranty revenue.
Inventories
The Company estimates the net realizable value as the amount at which inventories are expected to be sold by taking into account
fluctuations of retail prices due to prevailing market conditions. If required, inventories are written down to net realizable value when the cost
of inventories is estimated to not be recoverable due to obsolescence, damage or declining sales prices.
Reserves for slow moving and damaged inventory are deducted in the Company’s valuation of inventories. Management has estimated
the amount of reserve for slow moving inventory based on the Company’s historic retail experience.
Impairment of property, plant and equipment

The Company exercises judgment in the determination of cash-generating units (“CGUs”) for purposes of assessing any impairment
of property, plant and equipment, as well as in determining whether there are indicators of impairment present. Should indicators of
impairment be present, management estimates the recoverable amount of the relevant CGU. This estimation requires assumptions about
future cash flows, margins and discount rates.
Impairment of goodwill and intangible assets

The Company tests goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets at least annually and reviews other long-lived intangible assets for any
indication that the asset might be impaired. Significant judgments are required in determining the CGUs or groups of CGUs for purposes
of assessing impairment. Significant judgments are also required in determining whether to allocate goodwill to CGUs or groups of CGUs.
When performing impairment tests, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the CGUs or groups of CGUs to which goodwill and
indefinite life intangible assets have been allocated using a discounted cash flow model that requires assumptions about future cash flows,
margins and discount rates.
Provisions
The Company exercises judgment in the determination of recognizing a provision. The Company recognizes a provision when it has a
present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event and a reliable estimate of the obligation can be made. Significant
judgments are required to be made in determining what the probable outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation.
Leases
Management exercises judgment in the process of applying IFRS 16 and determining the appropriate lease term on a lease by lease basis.
Management considers many factors including any events that create an economic incentive to exercise a renewal option including store
performance, expected future performance and past business practice. Renewal options are only included if Management are reasonably
certain that the option will be renewed.
Materiality
In preparing this MD&A and the information contained herein, management considers the likelihood that a reasonable investor’s decision
would be influenced to buy or not buy, or to sell or hold securities of the Company if such information were omitted, misstated or obscured
in any way. This concept of materiality is consistent with the notion of materiality applied to financial statements and contained in IFRS.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Adoption of new accounting standards and amendments

The Company has adopted the new IFRS accounting standards listed below as at January 1, 2020, in accordance with the transitional
provisions outlined in the respective standard.
Amendments to IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements (“IAS 1”) and IAS 8, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors (“IAS 8”)
– Definition of Material
In October 2018, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8 to align the definition of “material” across the standards and to make it
easier to understand. The definition of material in IAS 8 has been replaced by a definition of material in IAS 1. The new definition states that,
“Information is material if omitting, misstating or obscuring it could reasonably be expected to influence decisions that the primary users of
general purpose financial statements make on the basis of those financial statements, which provide financial information about a specific
reporting entity.” The adoption of this amendment did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Amendments to IFRS 16, Leases (“IFRS 16”)

The amendments to IFRS 16 provide lessees with an optional exemption from assessing whether a COVID-19-related rent concession is
a lease modification, and instead require lessees that apply the exemption to account for COVID-19 related rent concessions as if they
were not lease modifications. The amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after June 1, 2020 and is to be
applied retrospectively.
The Company has adopted the amendment effective June 1, 2020 and elected to apply the practical expedient to all rent concessions that
have met the criteria under the amendment.
Accounting standards and amendments issued but not yet adopted

IFRS 17, Insurance Contracts (“IFRS 17”)
In May 2017, the IASB issued IFRS 17, which replaces IFRS 4, Insurance Contracts (“IFRS 4”). IFRS 17 establishes new principles for the
recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of insurance contracts. IFRS 17 applies to all types of insurance contracts regardless
of the type of entities that issue them, as well as to certain guarantees and financial instruments with discretionary participation features.
IFRS 17 provides a comprehensive model for insurance contracts, covering all relevant accounting aspects. The core of IFRS 17 is the general
model, supplemented by:
• A specific adaptation for contracts with direct participation features (the variable fee approach)
• A simplified approach (the premium allocation approach) mainly for short-duration contracts
IFRS 17 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023. Retrospective application is required. The Company plans
to adopt the new standard on the effective date. The Company is currently analyzing the impact these standards will have on its
financial statements.
Amendments to IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements (“IAS 1”)

In January 2020, IASB issued Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current, which amends IAS 1. The narrow scope amendments affect
only the presentation of liabilities in the statement of financial position and not the amount or timing of its recognition. The amendments
clarify that the classification of liabilities as current or non-current should be based on rights that are in existence at the end of the reporting
period and align the wording in all affected paragraphs to refer to the right to defer settlement by at least twelve months. That classification
is unaffected by the likelihood that an entity will exercise its deferral right. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods
beginning on or after January 1, 2023 and are to be applied retrospectively. The Company is still assessing the impact of adopting these
amendments on its financial statements.
Amendments to IFRS 9, Financial Instruments

As part of its 2018-2020 annual improvements to IFRS standards process, the IASB issued amendment to IFRS 9. The amendment clarifies
the fees that an entity includes when assessing whether the terms of a new or modified financial liability are substantially different from
the terms of the original financial liability. These fees include only those paid or received between the borrower and the lender, including
fees paid or received by either the borrower or lender on the other’s behalf. An entity applies the amendment to financial liabilities that
are modified or exchanged on or after the beginning of the annual reporting period in which the entity first applies the amendment. The
amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022 with earlier adoption permitted. The Company is
still assessing the impact of adopting these amendments on its financial statements.

12. Risks and Uncertainties

Careful consideration should be given to the following risk factors. These descriptions of risks are not the only ones facing the Company.
Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to Leon’s, or that the Company deems immaterial, may also impair the operations of
the Company. If any of such risks actually occur, the business, financial condition, liquidity, and results of operations of the Company could
be materially adversely affected.
Readers of this MD&A are also encouraged to refer to Leon’s Annual Information Form (“AIF”) dated February 23, 2021, which provides
information on the risk factors facing the Company. The February 23, 2021 AIF can be found online at www.sedar.com.
For additional potential risks associated with COVID-19 refer to section 2 in this MD&A.
Sensitivity to General Economic Conditions

The household furniture, mattress, appliance and home electronics retailing industry in Canada has historically been subject to cyclical
variations in the general economy and to uncertainty regarding future economic prospects. The Company’s sales are impacted by the
health of the economy in Canada as a whole, and in the regional markets in which the Company operates.
The Company’s sales and financial results are subject to numerous uncertainties. Weakness in sales or consumer confidence could
result in an increasingly challenging operating environment.
Maintaining Profitability & Managing Growth

There can be no assurance that the Company’s business and growth strategy will enable it to sustain profitability in future periods.
The Company’s future operating results will depend on a number of factors, including (i) the Company’s ability to continue to successfully
execute its strategic initiatives, (ii) the level of competition in the household furniture, mattress, appliance and home electronics retailing
industry in the markets in which the Company operates, (iii) the Company’s ability to remain a low-cost retailer, (iv) the Company’s ability to
realize increased sales and greater levels of profitability through its retail stores, (v) the effectiveness of the Company’s marketing programs,
(vi) the Company’s ability to successfully identify and respond to changes in fashion trends and consumer tastes in the household furniture,
mattress, appliance and home electronics retailing industry, (vii) the Company’s ability to maintain cost effective delivery of its products,
(viii) the Company’s ability to hire, train, manage and retain qualified retail store management and sales professionals, (ix) the Company’s
ability to continuously improve its service to achieve new and enhanced customer benefits and better quality, and (x) general economic
conditions and consumer confidence.
Financial Condition of Commercial Sales Customers & Franchisees

Through its commercial sales division, the Company sells products and extends credit to high-rise and condominium builders who purchase
large quantities of products. The Company also sells products and extends credit to its franchisees. Negative changes in the financial
condition of a significant commercial sales customer or a franchisee could impact on the Company’s receivables and ultimately result in the
Company having to take a bad-debt write-off in excess of allowance for bad debts. The occurrence of such an event could have a material
adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations.
Competition
The household furniture, mattress, appliance and home electronics retailing industry is highly competitive and highly fragmented.
The Company faces competition in all regions in which its operations are located by existing stores that sell similar products and also
by stores that may be opened in the future by existing or new competitors in such markets. The Company competes directly with many
different types of retail stores that sell many of the products sold by the Company. Such competitors include (i) department stores, (ii)
specialty stores (such as specialty electronics, appliance, or mattress retailers), (iii) other national or regional chains offering household
furniture, mattresses, appliances and home electronics, and (iv) other independent retailers, particularly those associated with larger
buying groups. The highly competitive nature of the industry means the Company is constantly subject to the risk of losing market share
to its competitors. As a result, the Company may not be able to maintain or to raise the prices of its products in response to competitive
pressures. In addition, the entrance of additional competitors to the markets in which the Company operates, particularly large furniture,
appliance or electronics retailers from the United States could increase the competitive pressure on the Company and have a material
adverse effect on the Company’s market share. The actions and strategies of the Company’s current and potential competitors could
have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations.

13. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls & Procedures
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of disclosure controls and procedures to provide reasonable
assurance that all material information relating to the Company is gathered and reported on a timely basis to senior management,
including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer so that appropriate decisions can be made by them regarding public
disclosure. Based on the evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures, the CEO and CFO have concluded that the Company's disclosure
controls and procedures were effective as at December 31, 2020.
Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

Management is also responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial
reporting for the Company. The control framework used in the design of disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over
financial reporting is based on the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal
Control-Integrated Framework (2013).
Management, including the CEO and CFO, does not expect that the Company’s disclosure controls or internal controls over financial
reporting will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud or will be effective under all potential future conditions. A control system is subject to
inherent limitations and, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control
systems objectives will be met. During the year ended December 31, 2020, there have been no changes in the Company’s internal controls
over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over
financial reporting.
14. Non-IFRS Financial Measures

The Company uses financial measures that do not have standardized meaning under IFRS and may not be comparable to similar measures
presented by other entities. The Company calculates the non-IFRS financial measures by adjusting certain IFRS measures for specific items
the Company believes are significant, but not reflective of underlying operations in the period, as detailed below:
Adjusted Net Income

Leon’s calculates comparable measures by excluding the effect of changes in fair value of derivative instruments, related to the net effect
of USD-denominated forward contracts. The Company uses derivative instruments to manage its financial risk in accordance with the
Company’s corporate treasury policy. Management believes excluding from income the effect of these mark-to-market valuations and
changes thereto, until settlement, better aligns the intent and financial effect of these contracts with the underlying cash flows.
The following is a reconciliation of reported net income to adjusted net income, basic and diluted earnings per share to adjusted basic and
diluted earnings per share:

(C$ in millions except per share amounts) December 31, 2020 December 31, 2019 December 31, 2020 December 31, 2019
Net income 53.3 39.3 163.3 106.9
After-tax mark-to-market (gain)/loss on
financial derivative instruments 3.0 – 3.4 (0.1)
Adjusted net income 56.3 39.3 166.7 106.8
Basic earnings per share $0.68 $0.51 $2.05 $1.38
Diluted earnings per share $0.67 $0.48 $1.99 $1.30
Adjusted basic earnings per share $0.72 $0.51 $2.09 $1.38
Adjusted diluted earnings per share $0.71 $0.48 $2.04 $1.30

Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, mark-to-market adjustment due to the changes in
the fair value of the Company’s financial derivative instruments and any non-recurring charges to income (“Adjusted EBITDA”) is a
non-IFRS financial measure used by the Company. The Company considers adjusted EBITDA to be an effective measure of profitability
on an operational basis and is commonly regarded as an indirect measure of operating cash flow, a significant indicator of success for
many businesses. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS financial measure used by the Company. The Company’s Adjusted EBITDA may not
be comparable to the Adjusted EBITDA measure of other companies, but in management’s view appropriately reflects Leon’s specific
financial condition. This measure is not intended to replace net income, which, as determined in accordance with IFRS, is an indicator of
operating performance.
The following is a reconciliation of reported net income to adjusted EBITDA:

(C$ in millions) December 31, 2020 December 31, 2019 December 31, 2020 December 31, 2019
Net income 53.3 39.3 163.3 106.9
Income tax expense 16.6 13.0 47.2 36.1
Net finance costs 3.9 6.1 17.9 25.2
Depreciation and amortization 28.1 29.8 111.3 122.7
Mark-to-market (gain)/loss on
financial derivative instruments 4.1 – 4.6 (0.1)
Adjusted EBITDA 106.0 88.2 344.3 290.8
Same Store Sales

Same store sales are defined as sales generated by stores, both in store and through online transactions, that have been open for more
than 12 months on a fiscal basis. Same store sales is not an earnings measure recognized by IFRS, and does not have a standardized
meaning prescribed by IFRS, but it is a key indicator used by the Company to measure performance against prior period results. Same store
sales as discussed in this MD&A may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers, however this measure is commonly
used in the retail industry. We believe that disclosing this measure is meaningful to investors because it enables them to better understand
the level of growth of our business.
Total System Wide Sales

Total system wide sales refer to the aggregation of revenue recognized in the Company’s consolidated financial statements plus the franchise
sales occurring at franchise stores to their customers which are not included in the revenue figure presented in the Company’s consolidated
financial statements. Total system wide sales is not a measure recognized by IFRS and does not have a standardized meaning prescribed
by IFRS, but it is a key indicator used by the Company to measure performance against prior period results. Therefore, total system wide
sales as discussed in this MD&A may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. We believe that disclosing this
measure is meaningful to investors because it serves as an indicator of the strength of the Company’s overall store network, which ultimately
impacts financial performance.
Franchise Sales
Franchise sales figures refer to sales occurring at franchise stores to their customers which are not included in the revenue figures presented
in the Company’s consolidated financial statements, or in the same store sales figures in this MD&A. Franchise sales is not a measure
recognized by IFRS, and does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS, but it is a key indicator used by the Company to
measure performance against prior period results. Therefore, franchise sales as discussed in this MD&A may not be comparable to similar
measures presented by other issuers. Once again, we believe that disclosing this measure is meaningful to investors because it serves as an
indicator of the strength of the Company’s brands, which ultimately impacts financial performance.
Free Cash Flow

Free cash flow refers to cash provided by operating activities less total capital expenditure. Free cash flow is not a measure recognized by
IFRS and does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS, but it is a key indicator used by the Company to measure financial
performance. We believe that disclosing this measure is meaningful to investors because it serves as an indicator of the financial strength
of the Company.
Net Debt
Net debt is calculated as the principal amount of the term loan, convertible debentures less cash, cash equivalents and debt and equity
instruments. Net debt is a non-IFRS financial measure used by the Company. The Company considers net debt to be an effective measure
of the overall debt position and borrowing capacity available to the Company.

Management's Responsibility for FInancial Reporting
Management’s Responsibility for Financial Reporting
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of management and have been
approved by the Board of Directors.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with International Financial
Reporting Standards. Financial statements are not precise since they include certain amounts based upon estimates and judgments. When
alternative methods exist, management has chosen those it deems to be the most appropriate in the circumstances.
Leon’s Furniture Limited/Meubles Leon Ltée (“Leon’s” or the “Company”) maintains systems of internal accounting and administrative
controls, consistent with reasonable costs. Such systems are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the financial information is
relevant and reliable, and that Leon’s assets are appropriately accounted for and adequately safeguarded.
The Board of Directors is responsible for ensuring that management fulfils its responsibilities for financial reporting and is ultimately
responsible for reviewing and approving the financial statements. The Board carries out this responsibility through its Audit Committee.
The Audit Committee is appointed by the Board and reviews these consolidated financial statements; considers the report of the external
auditors; assesses the adequacy of the internal controls of the Company; examines the fees and expenses for audit services; and recommends
to the Board the independent auditors for appointment by the shareholders. The Committee reports its findings to the Board of Directors
for consideration when approving these consolidated financial statements for issuance to the shareholders. These consolidated financial
statements have been audited by Ernst & Young, the external auditors, in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards
on behalf of the shareholders. Ernst & Young has full and free access to the Audit Committee.

Independent Auditor's Report
Independent Auditor’s Report
To the Shareholders of Leon’s Furniture Limited/Meubles Leon Ltée
Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Leon’s Furniture Limited/Meubles Leon Ltée and its subsidiaries (the “Group”),
which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as at December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the consolidated statements of
income, consolidated statements of comprehensive income, consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ equity and consolidated
statements of cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant
accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects the consolidated financial position
of the Group as at December 31, 2020 and 2019, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years
then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”).
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 are
independent of the Group in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated financial statements
in Canada, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence
we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key Audit Matter

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial
statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of the audit of the consolidated financial statements as a
whole, and in forming the auditor’s opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. For the matter below, our
description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in that context.
We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements section
of our report, including in relation to this matter. Accordingly, our audit included the performance of procedures designed to respond to
our assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements. The results of our audit procedures,
including the procedures performed to address the matter below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on the accompanying consolidated
financial statements.

economic conditions such as the impact of the COVID-19 global pandemic.

Other Information
Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises:
• Management’s Discussion and Analysis

• The information, other than the consolidated financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon, in the Annual Report
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, 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.
We obtained Management’s Discussion and Analysis prior to the date of this auditor’s report. 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 in this auditor’s report.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
The Annual Report is expected to be made available to us after the date of the auditor’s report. If based on the work we will perform on this
other information, we conclude there is a material misstatement of other information, we are required to report that fact to those charged
with governance.
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 Group’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 Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Group’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 scepticism 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.
• 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 Group’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 Group’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 Group 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 Group 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.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the
audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in
our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we
determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be
expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor’s report is Laura Sluce.

Notes to the
Consolidated
Financial
Statements
For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019
Amounts in thousands of Canadian dollars, except share amounts and earnings per share
1. Reporting Entity
Leon’s Furniture Limited (“Leon’s” or the “Company”) was incorporated by the Articles of Incorporation under the Business Corporations
Act on February 28, 1969. Leon’s is a retailer of home furnishings, mattresses, appliances and electronics across Canada. Leon’s is a public
company listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX – LNF, LNF.DB) and is incorporated and domiciled in Canada. The address of the
Company’s head office and registered office is 45 Gordon Mackay Road, Toronto, Ontario, M9N 3X3.
The Company’s business is seasonal in nature. Retail sales are traditionally higher in the third and fourth quarters.
2. Basis of Presentation
Statement of compliance
These consolidated financial statements of the Company are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards
(“IFRS”), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).
These consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors for issuance on February 23, 2021.
Basis of measurement
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for investments, debt and equity
instruments, derivative instruments, the initial recognition of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations, which are
measured at fair value.
Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the consolidated financial statements are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which
the Company operates (the functional currency). These consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the
Company’s functional and presentation currency and is also the functional currency of each of the Company’s subsidiaries.

Use of estimates and judgments

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the novel coronavirus, (“COVID-19”), which has the potential to cause severe
respiratory illness, a global pandemic. As an emerging risk, the duration and full financial effect of the COVID-19 pandemic is unknown at
this time, as is the efficacy of the government and central bank interventions. Any estimate of the length and severity of these developments
is therefore subject to significant uncertainty. The COVID-19 pandemic has increased the uncertainties around key assumptions used by the
Company in estimating the recoverable amount for the purpose of testing for impairment of property, plant and equipment, goodwill and
intangible assets. These key estimates include future cash flows, margins and discount rates. Accordingly, estimates of the extent to which
the COVID-19 pandemic could materially and adversely affect the Company’s operations, financial results and condition in future periods,
including the use of estimates and judgements are also subject to significant uncertainty.
The Company continues to actively monitor the situation and will continue to respond as the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic evolves.
Management has exercised judgment in the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies. The preparation of consolidated
financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the consolidated statement of financial position dates and the
reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates and other judgments are continuously evaluated and
are based on management’s experience and other factors, including expectations about future events that are believed to be reasonable
under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following discusses the most significant accounting judgments
and estimates that the Company has made in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.
Consolidation and classification of joint arrangements

Assessing the Company’s ability to control or influence the relevant financial and operating policies of another entity may, depending on
the facts and circumstances, require the exercise of significant judgment to determine whether the Company controls, jointly controls, or
exercises significant influence over the entity performing the work. This assessment of control impacts how the operations of these entities
are reported in the Company’s consolidated financial statements (i.e. full consolidation, equity investment or proportional share).
The classification of these entities as a subsidiary, joint operation, joint venture, associate or financial instrument requires judgment by
management to analyze the various indicators that determine whether control exists. In particular, when assessing whether a joint
arrangement should be classified as either a joint operation or a joint venture, management considers the contractual rights and obligations,
voting shares, share of board members and the legal structure of the joint arrangement. Subject to reviewing and assessing all the facts and
circumstances of each joint arrangement, joint arrangements contracted through agreements and general partnerships would generally
be classified as joint operations whereas joint arrangements contracted through corporations would be classified as joint ventures. The
application of different judgments when assessing control or the classification of joint arrangements could result in materially different
presentations in the consolidated financial statements.
Extended warranty revenue recognition

The Company offers extended warranties on certain merchandise. Management has applied judgment in determining the basis upon and
period over which to recognize deferred warranty revenue.
Inventories
The Company estimates the net realizable value as the amount at which inventories are expected to be sold by taking into account
fluctuations of retail prices due to prevailing market conditions. If required, inventories are written down to net realizable value when the cost
of inventories is estimated to not be recoverable due to obsolescence, damage or declining sales prices.
Reserves for slow moving and damaged inventory are deducted in the Company’s valuation of inventories. Management has estimated
the amount of reserve for slow moving inventory based on the Company’s historical retail experience.
Impairment of debt instruments

The Company exercises judgment in the determination of whether there are objective indicators of impairment with respect to its debt
instruments. The Company’s review is based on an expected credit loss (“ECL”) approach that employs an analysis of historical data,
economic indicators and any past or future events that may influence the recoverability of the debt instruments held.
Impairment of property, plant and equipment

The Company exercises judgment in the determination of cash-generating units (“CGUs”) for purposes of assessing any impairment
of property, plant and equipment, as well as in determining whether there are indicators of impairment present. Should indicators of
impairment be present, management estimates the recoverable amount of the relevant CGU. This estimation requires assumptions about
future cash flows, margins and discount rates.

Impairment of goodwill and intangible assets

The Company tests goodwill and indefinite-life intangible assets at least annually and reviews other long-lived intangible assets for any
indication that the asset might be impaired. Significant judgments are required in determining the CGUs or groups of CGUs for purposes
of assessing impairment. Significant judgments are also required in determining whether to allocate goodwill to CGUs or groups of CGUs.
When performing impairment tests, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the CGUs or groups of CGUs to which goodwill and
indefinite-life intangible assets have been allocated using a discounted cash flow model that requires assumptions about future cash flows,
margins and discount rates.
Provisions
The Company exercises judgment in the determination of recognizing a provision. The Company recognizes a provision when it has a
present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event and a reliable estimate of the obligation can be made. Significant
judgments are required to be made in determining what the probable outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation.
Leases
Management exercises judgment in the process of applying IFRS 16, Leases (“IFRS 16”) and determining the appropriate lease term on a
lease by lease basis. Management considers many factors including any events that create an economic incentive to exercise a renewal
option including store performance, expected future performance and past business practice. Renewal options are only included if
Management are reasonably certain that the option will be renewed.
3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The significant accounting policies used in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are summarized below. These
accounting policies conform, in all material aspects, to IFRS.
Basis of consolidation
The financial statements consolidate the accounts of Leon’s Furniture Limited and its wholly owned subsidiaries: Murlee Holdings
Limited, Leon Holdings (1967) Limited, King and State Limited, Ablan Insurance Corporation, The Brick Ltd., The Brick Warehouse LP,
The Brick GP Ltd., United Furniture Warehouse LP, United Furniture GP Ltd., First Oceans Trading Corporation, First Oceans Hong Kong
Limited, First Oceans Shanghai Limited, Trans Global Warranty Corporation., Trans Global Life Insurance Company and Trans Global
Insurance Company. Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the Company has control. Control is achieved when the Company
is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through
its power over the investee. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible and rights
arising from other contractual arrangements are considered when assessing whether the Company controls another entity. Subsidiaries
are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Company and de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.
The Company reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of
the elements of control. All inter-company transactions and balances have been appropriately eliminated.
Business combinations
The Company applies the acquisition method in accounting for business combinations. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the
aggregate of the consideration transferred measured at the acquisition date fair value. Transaction costs that the Company incurs in
connection with a business combination are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.
Segment reporting
The Company has two operating segments, Leon’s and The Brick, both in the business of the sale of home furnishings, mattresses, appliances
and electronics in Canada. The Company’s chief operating decision-maker, identified as the Chief Executive Officer, monitors the results of
operating segments for the purpose of allocating resources and assessing performance.
Leon’s and The Brick operating segments are aggregated into a single reportable segment because they show a similar long-term
economic performance (gross margin), have comparable products, customers and distribution channels, operate in the same regulatory
environment, and are steered and monitored together.
Accordingly, there is no reportable segment information to provide in these consolidated financial statements.

Foreign currency translation

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the respective functional currency of the Company’s subsidiaries using the exchange rate
at the dates of the transactions. Merchandise imported from the United States and Southeast Asia, paid for in U.S. dollars, is recorded at its
equivalent Canadian dollar value upon receipt when control passes. U.S. dollar trade payables are translated at the year-end exchange
rate. The Company is subject to gains and losses due to fluctuations in the U.S. dollar. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from
translation of U.S. dollar accounts payable are included in the consolidated statements of income within cost of sales.
Any foreign exchange gains and losses on monetary debt and equity instruments are recognized in the consolidated statements of income,
and other changes in the carrying amounts are recognized in other comprehensive income. For debt and equity instruments that are not
monetary items, the gain or loss that is recognized in other comprehensive income includes any related foreign exchange component.
Financial instruments
Fair value measurement
The Company measures certain financial instruments at fair value upon initial recognition, and at each consolidated statement of financial
position date. 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 that is accessible. The fair value of an asset or liability is measured using the assumptions that
market participants would use, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.
Financial assets and liabilities

A financial asset or liability is recognized if the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the asset or liability. A financial
asset or liability is recognized initially (at settlement date) at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset or liability not at fair value
through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of the instrument. Financial assets and liabilities
carried at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognized at fair value and transaction costs are expensed in the consolidated
statements of income.
After initial recognition, financial assets are measured at amortized cost or fair value. Where assets are measured at fair value, gains and
losses are either recognized entirely in profit or loss (“FVTPL”) or recognized in other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”).
The Company classifies its financial assets and liabilities according to their characteristics and management's choices and intentions related
thereto for the purposes of ongoing measurement. Classifications that the Company has used for financial assets include:
a) FVOCI – non-derivative financial assets that are either designated in this category or not classified in any other category and include
marketable securities, which consist primarily of quoted bonds, equities and debentures. These assets are measured at fair value
with the changes in FVOCI, and specifically for equity instruments, with no reclassification of gains or losses to profit and loss
on derecognition;
b) Amortized Cost – non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments. This includes trade receivables, and these are
recorded at amortized cost with gains and losses recognized in profit or loss in the period that the asset is no longer recognized or
becomes impaired; and
c) FVTPL – financial assets which are classified as FVTPL.
Classifications that the Company has used for financial liabilities include:
a) Amortized Cost – non-derivative financial liabilities, including loans and borrowings, measured at amortized cost with gains and losses
recognized in profit or loss in the period that the liability is no longer recognized; and
b) FVTPL – financial liabilities which are classified as FVTPL.
Financial assets are derecognized if the Company’s contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or if the Company
transfers the financial asset to another party without retaining control or substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset.
Financial liabilities are derecognized once it is extinguished (i.e., when the obligation in the contract is either discharged or cancelled
or expires).

Impairment of financial assets

In accordance with IFRS 9, Financial Instruments (“IFRS 9”), the Company applies the “expected credit loss” model. The impairment model
applies to debt instruments measured at amortized cost or at FVOCI, as well as trade receivables, lease receivables, contracts assets (as
defined in IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“IFRS 15”)), and loan commitments and financial guarantee contracts that are
not at FVTPL. It requires a credit loss to be reflected in profit and loss immediately after an asset or receivable is acquired and subsequent
changes in expected credit losses at each reporting date reflecting the change in credit risk. The Company applies the simplified approach
for trade receivables and calculates expected credit losses based on lifetime expected credit losses.
Derivative instruments
Financial derivative instruments in the form of interest rate swaps and foreign exchange forwards are recorded at fair value on the
consolidated statements of financial position. Fair values are based on quoted market prices where available from active markets,
otherwise fair values are estimated using valuation methodologies, primarily discounted cash flows taking into account external market
inputs. Derivative instruments are recorded in current or non-current assets and liabilities based on their remaining terms to maturity. All
changes in fair value of the derivative instruments are recorded in profit or loss.
Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, balances with banks and short-term market investments with a remaining term to
maturity of less than 90 days from the date of purchase.
Trade receivables
Trade receivables are amounts due for goods sold in the ordinary course of business. If collection is expected in one year or less, they are
classified as current assets. If not, they are presented as non-current assets.
Trade receivables are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate
method, less provision for impairment.
Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost, determined on a first-in, first-out basis, and net realizable value. The Company receives vendor
rebates on certain products based on the volume of purchases made during specified periods. The rebates are deducted from the
inventory value of goods received and are recognized as a reduction of cost of sales upon sale of the goods. Incentives received for a direct
reimbursement of costs incurred to sell the vendor's products, such as marketing and advertising funds, are recorded as a reduction of those
related costs in the consolidated statements of income; provided certain conditions are met.
Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost. Historical cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the
acquisition of items. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only
when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the asset will flow to the Company and the cost can be measured reliably.
When significant parts of an item of property, plant and equipment are required to be replaced at intervals, the Company derecognizes
the replaced part and recognizes the new part with its own associated useful life and depreciation. Normal repair and maintenance
expenditures are expensed as incurred.
Land and construction in progress are not depreciated. Depreciation on other assets is provided over the estimated useful lives of the assets
using the following annual rates:
Buildings 30 to 50 years
Equipment 3 to 30 years
Vehicles 5 to 20 years
Building improvements Over the remaining lease term
The Company allocates the amount initially recognized in respect of an item of property, plant and equipment to its significant parts and
depreciates separately each such part. Residual values, method of depreciation and useful lives of items of property, plant and equipment
are reviewed annually by the Company and adjusted, if appropriate.
Gains and losses on disposal of property, plant and equipment are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount of the
asset and are included as part of selling, general and administration expenses in the consolidated statements of income.

Leases
The Company as lessee
The Company determines whether a contract is or contains a lease at inception of the contract. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the
contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
(i) Right-of-use assets

The Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability based on the present value of future lease payments when the lessor
makes the leased asset available for use by the Company. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial
amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs
incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset. The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using
the straight-line method from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the
lease term. The estimated useful lives of right-of-use assets are determined on the same basis as those of property, plant and equipment.
Right-of-use assets are subject to impairment.
(ii) Lease liabilities

The Company recognizes lease liabilities measured at the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term, discounted
using the interest rate implicit in the lease. The lease payments include fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments), variable
payments that depend on an index or a rate, renewal options that are reasonably certain to be exercised less any lease incentives receivable.
Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or rate are recognized as an expense in the period in which the event that triggers
the payment occurs. In addition, the carrying amount of lease payments is remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term
or a change in the in-substance fixed lease payments. The Company has elected to apply the practical expedient to not separate the lease
component and its associated non-lease component.
Management exercises judgment in the process of applying IFRS 16 and determining the appropriate lease term on a lease by lease basis.
Management considers many factors including any events that create an economic incentive to exercise a renewal option including store
performance, expected future performance and past business practice. Renewal options are only included if Management are reasonably
certain that the option will be renewed.
As most of the Company’s operating lease contracts do not provide the implicit interest rate, nor can the implicit interest rate be readily
determined, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate for determining the present value of lease payments.
The Company's incremental borrowing rate for a lease is the rate that the Company would pay to borrow an amount necessary to obtain
an asset of a similar value to the right-of-use asset on a collateralized basis over a similar term.
(iii) Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets

The Company has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases of property, plant and equipment
that have a lease term of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets (e.g. laptop computers). The Company recognizes the lease
payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The Company as a lessor

At the inception of the lease, the Company classifies each lease as either an operating lease or a finance lease. A lease is a finance lease
if it transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of the underlying asset to the lessee; otherwise, the lease is an operating lease. Rental
income from operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Investment properties
Assets that are held for long-term rental yields or for capital appreciation or both, and that are not occupied by either the Company or any
of its subsidiaries, are classified as investment properties. Investment properties are measured initially at cost, including related transaction
costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are carried at cost and depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the
properties:
Buildings 30 to 50 years
Building improvements Over the remaining lease term
Land held by the Company and classified as investment property is not depreciated.
Subsequent expenditures on investment properties are capitalized to the properties’ carrying amount only when it is probable that future
economic benefits associated with the expenditures will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other
repairs and maintenance costs are expensed when incurred. When part of an investment property is replaced, the carrying amount of the
replaced part is derecognized.
If an investment property becomes owner occupied, it is reclassified as property, plant and equipment.

Goodwill and intangible assets

Goodwill
Goodwill is the residual amount that results when the purchase price of an acquired business exceeds the sum of the amounts allocated
to the tangible and intangible assets acquired, less liabilities assumed, based on their fair value. Goodwill is assigned at the date of the
business acquisition. The Company assesses at least annually, or at any time if an indicator of impairment exists, whether there has been
an impairment loss in the carrying value of goodwill and it is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Impairment losses on
goodwill are not reversed.
Goodwill is allocated to CGUs or groups of CGUs that are expected to benefit from the business combination for the purpose of impairment
testing. A group of CGUs represents the lowest level within the Company at which goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes.
Intangible assets
Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. The cost of intangible assets acquired in a business
combination is their fair value at the date of acquisition. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any
accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. Internally generated intangibles, excluding capitalized development costs,
are not capitalized and the related expenditure is reflected in profit or loss in the period in which the expenditure is incurred. The useful lives
of intangible assets are assessed as either finite or indefinite.
Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives as follows:
Customer relationships 8 years

Non-compete agreement 8 years
Computer software 3 to 7 years
Impairment of non-financial assets

The Company considers at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If impairment indicators
are found to be present, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the non-financial assets are assessed for impairment.
Impairment losses are recognized immediately in income to the extent an asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The
recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, estimated future cash
flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money
and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.
Goodwill and indefinite-life intangible assets are tested annually in the fourth quarter of the year, or when circumstances indicate that
the carrying value may be impaired. The assessment of recoverable amount for goodwill and indefinite-life intangible assets involves
assumptions about future conditions for the economy, capital markets, and specifically, the retail sector. As such, the assessment is subject to
a significant degree of measurement uncertainty.
For the purpose of impairment testing, assets that cannot be tested individually are grouped together into the smallest group of assets
that generate cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or groups of assets. For the
Company, store-related CGUs are defined as individual stores or regional groups of stores within a geographic market.
For the Company’s corporate assets that do not generate separate cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the CGU to which
the corporate asset belongs. Where a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be identified, corporate assets are allocated to an
individual CGU; otherwise, they are allocated to the smallest group of CGUs for which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be
identified. Impairment losses recognized in respect of CGUs are allocated to reduce the carrying amounts of the assets in the CGUs on a
pro rata basis.
Impairment losses recognized in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indication that the loss has decreased or no
longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount and
the reversal is recognized in income. 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 depreciation or amortization, if no impairment loss had been recognized.

Income taxes
The Company computes an income tax expense. However, actual amounts of income tax expense only become final upon filing and
acceptance of the tax return by the relevant taxation authorities, which occur subsequent to the issuance of the annual consolidated
financial statements. Additionally, estimation of income taxes includes evaluating the recoverability of deferred income tax assets based on
an assessment of the ability to use the underlying future tax deductions before they expire against future taxable income. The assessment
is based on existing tax laws and estimates of future taxable income. To the extent estimates differ from the final tax return, income would
be affected in a subsequent period.
Income tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred income tax. Income tax is recognized in the consolidated statements of
income except to the extent it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case the related tax
is recognized in equity. Levies other than income taxes, such as taxes on real estate, are included in occupancy expenses.
Current income tax

Current income tax expense is based on the results of the year as adjusted for items that are not taxable or not deductible. Current income
tax is calculated using tax rates and laws that were substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period. Management periodically
evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes
provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.
Deferred income tax

Deferred income tax is recognized, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and
liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated statements of financial position. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates
and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the consolidated statement of financial position dates and are expected to
apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realized or the deferred income tax liability is settled.
Deferred income tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the
temporary differences can be utilized.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current income tax assets against
current income tax liabilities and when the deferred income tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation
authority where there is an intention to settle the balances on a net basis.
Trade and other payables

Trade and other payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from
suppliers. Trade and other payables are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less.
Provisions
Provisions are recognized only in those circumstances where the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a
past event, when it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate of the amount
can be made.
Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation using a pre-tax discount
rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation.
Unpaid insurance claims

The provision for unpaid claims includes adjustment expenses and an estimate of the future settlement of claims, both reported and
unreported, that have occurred on or before the reporting date on the insurance contracts the Company has underwritten. The provision is
actuarially determined on an annual basis using assumptions of loss emergence, payment rates, interest, and expected expenses associated
with the adjustment and payment of such claims. The provision includes appropriate charges for risk and uncertainty and is measured on
a discounted basis. As this provision is an estimate, the amount of actual claims may differ from the recorded amount. The provisions are
derecognized when the obligation to pay a claim no longer exists.
Unpaid warranty claims

Warranty repairs related to warranty plans sold separately are recorded as claims expense at the time the customer reports a claim. For
these warranties, a provision for unpaid warranty claims is established for unpaid reported claims.
The Company also provides a standard warranty for certain products. For these warranties, a provision for warranty claims is recognized
when the underlying products are sold. The amount of the provision is estimated using historical experience and may differ from actual
claims paid.

Product returns
The Company has a return policy allowing customers to return merchandise if not satisfied within certain timeframes. The provision for
product returns is based on sales recognized prior to the year-end. The amount of the provision is estimated using historical experience and
actual experience subsequent to the year-end and may differ from the actual returns made.
Loans and borrowings

Long-term debt is classified as current when the Company expects to settle the debt in its normal operating cycle or the debt is due to be
settled within 12 months after the date of the consolidated statement of financial position.
Share capital
Common shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issuance of new shares are shown in equity as a
deduction, net of income tax, from the proceeds.
Revenue
Revenue recognition
IFRS 15 provides a single, principles based five-step model that will apply to all contracts with customers with limited exceptions. Under IFRS
15, revenue is recognized at an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring
goods or services to a customer.
In addition to the above general principles, the Company applies the following specific revenue recognition policies:
Sale of goods and related services

Revenue from the sale of goods and related services is recognized either when the customer picks up the merchandise ordered or when
merchandise is delivered to the customer's home and the performance obligation has been satisfied. Any payments received in advance
of delivery are deferred and recorded as customers' deposits. Revenue is shown net of sales tax.
The Company records a provision for sales returns and price guarantees based on historical experience and actual experience
each quarter.
Franchise operations
Leon’s franchisees operate principally as independent owners. The Company charges each franchisee a royalty fee based on a percentage
of the franchisee’s gross revenue. The Company supplies inventory for amounts representing landed cost plus a mark-up. The royalty
income and sales to franchises is recorded by the Company on a monthly basis once the sale occurs and the performance obligations have
been satisfied.
Insurance contracts and revenue

The Company issues insurance contracts through its subsidiaries: Trans Global Insurance Company (“TGI”) and Trans Global Life Insurance
Company (“TGLI”).
The Company provides credit insurance on balances that arise from customers’ use of their private label financing card. The Company
provides group coverage for losses as discussed in Note 23, thereby providing protection to many customers who do not carry other similar
insurance policies.
Insurance contracts are contracts where the Company has accepted significant insurance risk from another party (the “policyholders”) by
agreeing to compensate the policyholders if a specified uncertain future event (the “insured event”) adversely affects the policyholders.
As a general guideline, the Company determines whether it has significant insurance risk by comparing benefits paid with benefits payable
if the insured event did not occur.
Once a contract has been classified as an insurance contract, it remains an insurance contract for the remainder of its term, even if the
insurance risk reduces significantly during this period, unless all rights and obligations are extinguished or expire. Investment contracts can,
however, be reclassified as insurance contracts after inception if insurance risk becomes significant.
Premiums on insurance contracts are recognized as revenue over the term of the policies in accordance with the pattern of insurance service
provided under the contract.

Deferred insurance revenue

At each reporting period date, the insurance revenue received by the Company in regard to the unexpired portion of policies in force is
deferred as unearned insurance revenue. Any amount of unearned insurance revenue is included in the consolidated statements of financial
position within deferred warranty plan revenue.
The Company performs a deferred insurance revenue adequacy test on an annual basis to determine whether the carrying amount
of the deferred insurance revenue needs to be adjusted (or the carrying amount of deferred acquisition costs adjusted), based
upon a review of the expected future cash flows. If these estimates show that the carrying amount of the deferred insurance revenue
(less related deferred acquisition costs) is inadequate, the deficiency is recognized in net income by setting up a provision for insurance
revenue deficiency.
Deferred insurance revenue is calculated based on assumptions of loss emergence, payment rates, interest, and expected expenses
associated with the adjustment and payment of claims. Deferred insurance revenue is derecognized when the obligation to pay a claim
expires, is discharged or is cancelled in accordance with the pattern of insurance service provided under the contract.
Deferred warranty plan revenue

Warranties, underwritten by the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries, are offered on furniture, appliance and electronic products sold by
the Company and franchisees to provide coverage that extends beyond the manufacturer’s warranty period by up to five years. Warranties
are sold to customers when they make their original purchase and take effect immediately. The warranty contracts provide both repair and
replacement services depending upon the nature of the warranty claim.
The Company’s extended warranty plan revenues are deferred at the time of sale and are recognized as revenue over the weighted
average term of the warranty plan on a straight-line basis.
Deferred acquisition costs

Acquisition costs are comprised of commissions, premium taxes and other expenses that relate directly to the writing or renewing of warranty
and insurance contracts, and are considered costs to obtain the contract. These costs are deferred only to the extent that they are expected
to be recovered from unearned premiums and are amortized over the period in which the revenue from the policies is earned. All other
acquisition costs are recognized as an expense when incurred.
Costs incurred on warranty plan sales, including sales commissions and premium taxes, are recorded as deferred acquisition costs. These
costs are amortized to income in the same pattern as revenue from warranty plan sales is recognized.
Changes in the expected pattern of consumption are accounted for by changing the amortization period and are treated as a change in
an accounting estimate. Deferred acquisition costs are derecognized when the related contracts are either settled or disposed of.
Sale of gift cards

Revenue from the sale of gift cards is recognized when the gift cards are redeemed (the customer purchases merchandise). Revenue from
unredeemed gift cards is deferred and included in trade and other payables.
Rental income on investment properties

Rental income arising on investment properties is accounted for on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is presented
within revenue.
Store pre-opening costs

Store pre-opening costs are expensed as incurred.
Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they occur. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that the Company incurs
in connection with the borrowing of funds.
Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share have been calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year.
Diluted earnings per share are calculated using the “if converted” method. The dividends declared on the redeemable share liability under
the Company’s Management Share Purchase Plan (the “Plan”) are included in net income for the year. The redeemable shares convertible
under the Plan are included in the calculation of diluted number of common shares to the extent the redemption price was less than the
average annual market price of the Company’s common shares.

Joint arrangements
Under IFRS 11, Joint Arrangements (“IFRS 11”), a joint arrangement is a contractual arrangement wherein two or more parties have
joint control. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement when the strategic, financial and operating
decisions relating to the arrangement require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control. Investments in joint arrangements
are classified as either joint operations or joint ventures depending on the contractual rights and obligations of each party. Refer to
Note 2, for significant judgments affecting the classification of joint arrangements as either joint operations or joint ventures. The parties to
a joint operation have rights to the assets, and obligations for the liabilities, relating to the arrangement whereas joint ventures have rights
to the net assets of the arrangement. In accordance with IFRS 11, the Company accounts for joint operations by recognizing its share of any
assets held jointly and any liabilities incurred jointly, along with its share of the revenue from the sale of the output by the joint operation,
and its expenses, including its share of any expenses incurred jointly. Joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method of accounting
in accordance with IAS 28, Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures (“IAS 28”). Under the equity method of accounting, the Company’s
investments in joint ventures and associates are carried at cost and adjusted for post-acquisition changes in the net assets of the investment.
Profit or loss reflects the Company’s share of the results of these investments. Distributions received from an investee reduce the carrying
amount of the investment. The consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) also include the Company’s share of any amounts
recognized by joint ventures and associates in OCI. Where there has been a change recognized directly in the equity of the joint venture
or associate, the Company recognizes its share of that change in equity. The financial statements of the joint ventures and associates are
generally prepared for the same reporting period as the Company, using consistent accounting policies. Adjustments are made to bring
into line any dissimilar accounting policies that may exist in the underlying records of the joint venture and/or associate. Adjustments are
made in the consolidated financial statements to eliminate the Company’s share of unrealized gains and losses on transactions between
the Company and its joint ventures and associates. Transactions with joint operations where the Company contributes or sells assets to a
joint operation, the Company recognizes only that portion of the gain or loss that is attributable to the interests of the other parties. Where
the Company purchases assets from a joint operation, the Company does not recognize its share of the profit or loss of the joint operation
from the transaction until it resells the assets to an independent party. The Company adjusts joint operation financial statement amounts, if
required, to reflect consistent accounting policies.
Associates
Entities in which the Company has significant influence and which are neither subsidiaries, nor joint arrangements, are accounted for
using the equity method of accounting in accordance with IAS 28. This method of accounting is described in the previous section Joint
Arrangements. The Company discontinues the use of the equity method from the date on which it ceases to have significant influence, and
from that date accounts for the investment in accordance with IFRS 9, (its initial costs are the carrying amount of the associate on that date),
provided the investment does not then qualify as a subsidiary or a joint arrangement.
Government grants
The Company recognizes government grants when there is reasonable assurance that the Company will comply with the conditions of
the grant and the grant will be received. Government grants receivable are recorded in prepaid and other assets on the consolidated
statement of financial position. The Company recognizes government grants in the consolidated statement of income in the same period as
the expenses for which the grant is intended to compensate. In cases where a government grant becomes receivable as compensation for
expenses already incurred in prior periods, the grant is recognized in profit or loss in the period in which it becomes receivable.

4. Adoption of Accounting Standards and Amendments

Adoption of new accounting standards
The Company has adopted the new IFRS accounting standards listed below as at January 1, 2020, in accordance with the transitional
provisions outlined in the respective standard.
Amendments to IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements (“IAS 1”) and IAS 8, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors (“IAS 8”)
– Definition of Material
In October 2018, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8 to align the definition of “material” across the standards and to make it
easier to understand. The definition of material in IAS 8 has been replaced by a definition of material in IAS 1. The new definition states
that, “Information is material if omitting, misstating or obscuring it could reasonably be expected to influence decisions that the primary
users of general purpose financial statements make on the basis of those financial statements, which provide financial information about
a specific reporting entity.” The amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2020. The adoption of
this amendment did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Amendments to IFRS 16 – COVID-19 Related Rent Concessions

The amendments to IFRS 16 provide lessees with an optional exemption from assessing whether a COVID-19-related rent concession is
a lease modification, and instead require lessees that apply the exemption to account for COVID-19 related rent concessions as if they
were not lease modifications. The amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after June 1, 2020 and is to be
applied retrospectively.
The Company has adopted the amendment effective June 1, 2020 and elected to apply the practical expedient to all rent concessions that
have met the criteria under the amendment.
Accounting standards and amendments issued but not yet adopted

IFRS 17, Insurance Contracts (“IFRS 17”)
In May 2017, the IASB issued IFRS 17, which replaces IFRS 4, Insurance Contracts. IFRS 17 establishes new principles for the recognition,
measurement, presentation and disclosure of insurance contracts. IFRS 17 applies to all types of insurance contracts regardless of the
type of entities that issue them, as well as to certain guarantees and financial instruments with discretionary participation features.
IFRS 17 provides a comprehensive model for insurance contracts, covering all relevant accounting aspects. The core of IFRS 17 is the general
model, supplemented by:
• A specific adaptation for contracts with direct participation features (the variable fee approach)
• A simplified approach (the premium allocation approach) mainly for short-duration contracts
IFRS 17 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023. Retrospective application is required. The Company
plans to adopt the new standard on the effective date. The Company is currently analyzing the impact this standard will have on its financial
statements.
Amendments to IAS 1
In January 2020, IASB issued Classification of Liabilities as “Current” or “Non-current”, which amends IAS 1. The narrow scope amendments
affect only the presentation of liabilities in the statement of financial position and not the amount or timing of its recognition. The amendments
clarify that the classification of liabilities as current or non-current should be based on rights that are in existence at the end of the reporting
period and align the wording in all affected paragraphs to refer to the right to defer settlement by at least 12 months. That classification
is unaffected by the likelihood that an entity will exercise its deferral right. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods
beginning on or after January 1, 2023 and are to be applied retrospectively. The Company is still assessing the impact of adopting these
amendments on its financial statements.
Amendments to IFRS 9
As part of its 2018-2020 annual improvements to IFRS standards process, the IASB issued amendment to IFRS 9. The amendment clarifies
the fees that an entity includes when assessing whether the terms of a new or modified financial liability are substantially different from
the terms of the original financial liability. These fees include only those paid or received between the borrower and the lender, including
fees paid or received by either the borrower or lender on the other’s behalf. An entity applies the amendment to financial liabilities that
are modified or exchanged on or after the beginning of the annual reporting period in which the entity first applies the amendment. The
amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022 with earlier adoption permitted. The Company is
still assessing the impact of adopting these amendments on its financial statements.

agreements have expiry dates with options to renew. The Company’s intention is to renew these agreements at each renewal date
indefinitely. The Company expects the franchise agreements and franchise locations will generate cash flows over an indefinite future
period. Therefore, these assets are also considered to have indefinite useful lives.

Impairment tests
The Company performed impairment tests of goodwill, brand and franchise agreements intangible as at December 31, 2020 and 2019 in
accordance with the accounting policy as described in Note 3. The recoverable amount of the CGUs was determined based on value-in-
use calculations. These calculations used cash flow projections based on financial budgets approved by management covering a one-year
period. Cash flows beyond the one-year period are extrapolated using the estimated growth rates stated below. The key assumptions used
for the value-in-use calculation as at December 31, 2020 and 2019 were as follows:
As at December 31, 2020 December 31, 2019

Growth rate 2.0% 2.0%
Pre-tax discount rate 8.4% 9.0%
The impairment tests performed resulted in no impairment of the goodwill and indefinite life intangibles as at December 31, 2020 and

Unpaid insurance claims

The provision for unpaid insurance claims represents the estimated amounts necessary to settle all outstanding claims, as well as claims
that are incurred but not reported, as of the reporting date. Unpaid claims are determined using generally accepted actuarial practices,
according to the standards established by the Canadian Institute of Actuaries. The establishment of the provision for unpaid claims,
measured on a discounted basis, relies on the judgment and estimates of the Company based on historical precedent and trends, on
prevailing legal, economic, social and regulatory trends and on expectations as to future developments. The process of determining the
provisions necessarily involves risks that the actual results will deviate, perhaps materially, from the best estimates made.
Unpaid warranty claims

The provision for unpaid warranty claims represents the estimated amounts necessary to settle unpaid reported claims for warranty plans
sold and all outstanding claims for certain products where the Company provides a standard warranty. The estimates are necessarily
subject to uncertainty and are selected from a range of possible outcomes. The provisions are increased or decreased as additional
information affecting the estimates becomes known during the course of claims settlement. All changes in estimates are recorded in cost
of sales in the current year.
Product returns
The provision for product returns represents the Company’s estimate of amounts the Company expects to incur regarding its product return
policies. The estimate is based on sales recognized prior to the end of the reporting period, historical information, management judgment
and actual experience subsequent to the end of the reporting period.
Full circle
The provision for full circle represents the Company’s estimate of amounts the Company expects to incur regarding its full circle protection
plan. The Company’s full circle protection plan allows customers that did not make a claim during the term of their warranty the opportunity
to obtain merchandise credit in an amount equal to the price paid for the plan. The provision recognized represents the estimated amounts
necessary to settle future full circle redemption amounts subject to the terms of the plan, historical information and management judgment.

14. Loans and Borrowings

Convertible debentures
On March 28, 2013 (the “Issuance Date”), the Company closed an offering in which the shareholders of The Brick purchased $100,000
principal amount of 3% convertible unsecured debentures due on March 28, 2023 (the “Maturity Date”). Interest is due semi-annually in
arrears on March 31 and December 31 in each year. The convertible debentures are convertible, at the option of the holder, at any time
during the period between the ninetieth day prior to the fourth anniversary of the Issuance Date and the third business day prior to the
Maturity Date in whole or in multiples of one thousand dollars, into fully paid common shares of the Company at the conversion rate of
80.39310 common shares per one thousand dollars principal amount of debentures, subject to certain adjustments. The Company has the
right to settle the convertible debentures in cash or shares during any time subsequent to the fourth anniversary of the Issuance Date and
on the Maturity Date. There are additional conversion options available to debenture holders in the event of a change in control of the
Company. The convertible debentures are unsecured obligations of the Company and are subordinated in right of payment to all of the
Company’s senior indebtedness.
The Company will accrete the carrying value of the convertible debentures to their contractual face value of $442 through a charge to net
income over their term. This charge will be included in finance costs.
During the year ended December 31, 2020, convertible debentures with a stated value of $49,583 were converted to 3,924,426 common
shares, at the holder’s option (year ended December 31, 2019 - $100 were converted to 7,912 common shares).

Carrying value of convertible debentures as at December 31, 2019 48,772
Accretion expense for the year ended December 31, 2020 19
Conversion of convertible debentures for the year ended December 31, 2020 (48,350)
Carrying value of convertible debentures as at December 31, 2020 441
The effective interest rate for the convertible debentures is 4.2% and includes accretion expense and semi-annual coupon payments.
Bank indebtedness
On January 31, 2013, a Senior Secured Credit Agreement (“SSCA”) was obtained to fund the acquisition of The Brick. The Company
completed an amendment to the original SSCA on November 25, 2016. After giving effect to the amendment, the total credit facility
was reduced from $500,000 to $300,000 with the term credit facility being reduced from $400,000 to $250,000 and the revolving
credit facility being reduced from $100,000 to $50,000. The revolving credit facility continues to include a swing-line of $20,000. The
Company completed a second amendment on May 31, 2019. The amounts borrowed under the term credit facility must be repaid in
full by May 31, 2022.
The Company completed a third amendment on April 27, 2020, whereby it exercised its $125,000 credit accordion primarily as a precaution
due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, the Company’s total revolving credit facility is $175,000. The amounts borrowed under the
revolving credit facility must be repaid in full by May 31, 2024. As at December 31, 2020, there are no amounts outstanding against the
revolving credit facility.
Bank indebtedness bears interest based on Canadian prime, London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and Bankers’ Acceptance (“BA”) rates
plus an applicable standby fee on undrawn amounts. Transaction costs in the amount of $775 were previously deferred and amortized over
the life of the agreement in relation to the first amendment of the SSCA. The remaining balance, as at May 31, 2019, of $148 was written off.
No additional transaction costs were incurred for the second and third amendments. The Company has the ability to choose the type of
advance required. Interest is based on the market rate plus an applicable margin. The term credit facility is repayable in yearly amounts of
$25,000 in 2019 and 2020 with the remainder due on maturity. The payments for 2019 and 2020 have been fully paid in advance. Currently,
the Company has entered into a 29-day Bankers’ Acceptance with a cost of borrowing of 1.16% that was renewed on December 31, 2020.
The Company can prepay without penalty amounts outstanding under the facilities at any time. The agreement includes a general security
agreement which constitutes a lien on all property of the Company. In addition to this, there are financial covenants related to the credit
facility. As at December 31, 2020, the Company is in full compliance of these financial and non-financial covenants.

15. Management Share Purchase Plan

Employee benefit plan
Members of senior management participate in the Company’s Management Share Purchase Plan (“MSPP”). Under the terms of the
MSPP, the Company advanced non-interest bearing loans to certain of its employees in 2018 to allow them to acquire common shares of
the Company. Participation in the MSPP is voluntary. The common shares purchased under the MSPP are held in trust by a trustee for the
benefit of the employee until the later of three years from the date of issue and the date the related loan to acquire the shares is repaid in
full. While such shares are held in trust, any dividends paid on these common shares are credited against the related loan.
During 2018, a total of 1,188,873 of the 2018 series of common shares were issued under the 2018 MSPP to senior management employees at
$15.30 per share. The Company recognized a loan receivable in the amount of $13,191 (recognized at fair value) and a deferred compensation
expense receivable of $2,315. The common shares issued of $15,506 are shown within common shares on the consolidated statements of
financial position.
During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recognized compensation expense of $231 (year ended December 31, 2019 - $231).
Dividends paid to MSPP holders, for the year ended December 31, 2020, of $1,046 were credited against the loan receivable (year ended
December 31, 2019 - $666). The loan receivable is recognized at fair value and during the year ended December 31, 2020, finance income
of $714 was recognized by the Company (year ended December 31, 2019 - $528).

to allow them to acquire convertible, non-voting series 2009 shares, series 2012 shares, series 2013 shares, series 2014 shares and series 2015
shares, respectively, of the Company. These loans are repayable through the application against the loans of any dividends on the shares
with any remaining balance repayable on the date the shares are converted to common shares. Each issued and fully paid for shares series
2009 and series 2012 may be converted into one common share at any time after the fifth anniversary date of the issue of these shares and
prior to the thirteenth anniversary of such issue. Each issued and fully paid for series 2013, series 2014 and series 2015 may be converted into
one common share at any time after the third anniversary date of the issue of these shares and prior to the thirteenth anniversary of such
issue. The series 2009, series 2012, series 2013, series 2014 and series 2015 are redeemable at the option of the holder for a period of one
business day following the date of issue of such shares. The Company has the option to redeem the series 2009 and series 2012 shares at
any time after the fifth anniversary date of the issue of these shares and must redeem them prior to the thirteenth anniversary of such issue.
The Company has the option to redeem the series 2013, series 2014 and series 2015 shares at any time after the third anniversary date of the
issue of these shares and must redeem them prior to the thirteenth anniversary of such issue. The redemption price is equal to the original
issue price of the shares adjusted for subsequent subdivisions of shares plus accrued and unpaid dividends. The purchase prices of the
shares are $8.85 per series 2009 share, $12.41 per series 2012 share, $11.39 per series 2013 share, $15.05 per series 2014 share and $13.46 per
series 2015 share. Dividends paid to holders of series 2009, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015 shares of approximately $566 (2019 - $614) have been
used to reduce the respective shareholder loans. The preferred dividends are paid once a year during the first quarter.

shares resulted in a reduction of share capital in the amount of $3,966 (year ended December 31, 2019 - $948). The excess net cost
over the average carrying value of the shares of $31,672 (year ended December 31, 2019 - $9,210) has been recorded as a reduction in
retained earnings. As at December 31, 2020, the Company has cancelled 2,005,626 of these repurchased shares and the remaining

The fair value hierarchy of financial instruments measured at fair value, as at December 31, 2020 includes financial assets of $489,875,
$143,403 and $3,310 for Levels 1, 2 and 3 respectively, and financial liabilities of $nil, $425,088 and $nil for Levels 1, 2 and 3, respectively.
The carrying amounts of the Company’s trade receivables, and trade and other payables approximate their fair values due to their
short-term nature.
The carrying amounts of the Company’s loans and borrowings approximate their fair values since they bear interest at rates comparable
to market rates at the end of the reporting period.
The fair values of debt and equity instruments that are traded in active markets are determined by reference to their quoted closing price or
dealer price quotations at the reporting date. For financial instruments that are not traded in active markets, the Company determines fair
values using a combination of discounted cash flow models and comparison to similar instruments for which market observable prices exist.
As at December 31, 2020, the fair value of the convertible debentures was determined using their closing quoted market price (not in
thousands of dollars) of $146.49 per $100.00 of face value (2019 - $146.49 per $100.00 of face value). For the convertible debentures as
at December 31, 2020, fair value is calculated based on the face value of the convertible debentures of $442.
The fair values of derivative assets and liabilities are estimated using industry standard valuation models. Where applicable, these models
project future cash flows and discount the future amounts to a present value using market based observable inputs including interest rate
curves, foreign exchange rates and forward and spot prices for currencies.
The Company maintains other financial derivatives which comprise of foreign exchange forwards, with maturities that do not
exceed past December 2020. As at December 31, 2020, a $3,976 unrealized loss was recorded in other liabilities (December 31, 2019
- $625 unrealized gain).
Fair values of financial instruments reflect the credit risk of the Company and counterparties when appropriate.

Fair value hierarchy

The Company uses a fair value hierarchy to categorize the inputs used to measure the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities,
the levels of which 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 (that is,
as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices).
Level 3: Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs).
Financial risk management

The Company’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk (including interest rate risk,
currency risk and other price risk). Risk management is carried out by the Company by identifying and evaluating the financial risks inherent
within its operations. The Company’s overall risk management activities seek to minimize potential adverse effects on the Company’s
financial performance.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual
obligations. The Company limits its exposure to counterparty credit risk by transacting only with highly rated financial institutions and other
counterparties and by managing within specific limits for credit exposure and term to maturity. The Company’s financial instrument portfolio
is spread across financial institutions, provincial and federal governments and, to a lesser extent, corporate issuers that are dual rated and
have a credit rating in the “A” category or better.
The following table summarizes the Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk related to financial instruments. The maximum credit
exposure is the carrying value of the asset, net of any allowances for impairment.
As at Carrying amount
Cash and cash equivalents 368,635 89,032
Restricted marketable securities 2,451 5,777
Debt instruments 73,565 65,859
Trade receivables 130,582 140,535
Total 575,233 301,203
Generally, the carrying amount on the consolidated statements of financial position of the Company's financial assets exposed to credit risk
represents the Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk. No additional credit risk disclosure is provided, unless the maximum potential
loss exposure to credit risk for certain financial assets differs significantly from their carrying amount. The Company’s main credit risk
exposure is from its trade receivables. For the Company, trade receivables are comprised principally of amounts related to its commercial
sales, to its franchise operations, and to vendor rebate programs.
For commercial trade and other receivables, credit risk is mitigated through customer agreements specifying payment terms and credit
limits. For franchise trade receivables, personal guarantees are obtained. As well, liens are placed against the goods and the Company
may repossess goods for non-payment. Credit risk is also limited due to the large number of customers and their dispersion across
geographic areas and market sectors (i.e., retail, commercial and franchise). Accordingly, the Company believes it has no significant
concentrations of credit risk related to trade receivables. The Company’s trade receivables totaled $130,582 as at December 31, 2020,
(2019 - $140,535). The amount of trade receivables that the Company has determined to be past due (which is defined as a balance
that is more than 90 days past due) is $7,095 as at December 31, 2020 (2019 - $5,523). IFRS 9 requires that a forward-looking ECL model
is followed. The guidance allows for a simplified approach for assets, including trade receivables, that do not contain a significant
financing component. This does not require the tracking of changes in credit risk, but requires recognition of lifetime ECL’s at all times.
The Company’s ECL based on the total receivables, past due invoices, historical data and future analysis was $1,355 as at
December 31, 2020 (2019 - $1,350).

IFRS 9 provides a low credit risk simplified approach for certain financial instruments if they are deemed to be a low credit risk. Based on
the Company’s portfolio, historical trends and future looking analyst predictions, it was concluded that the low credit risk simplification could
be used as debt investments have a low risk of default and the Company has a strong capacity to meet its contractual cash flow obligations
in the near future.
The majority of the Company’s retail sales are funded through cash, traditional credit cards and private label credit cards carried on a
non-recourse basis by third parties. Accordingly, fluctuations in the availability and cost of credit may have an impact on the Company’s
retail sales and profitability.
The Company manages credit risk for its cash and cash equivalents by maintaining bank accounts with major Canadian banks and
investing only in highly rated Canadian and U.S. securities that are traded on active markets and are capable of prompt liquidation.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that an entity will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities. The purpose of liquidity
risk management is to maintain sufficient amounts of cash and cash equivalents and authorized credit facilities, to fulfill obligations associated
with financial liabilities. To manage liquidity risk, the Company prepares budgets and cash forecasts, and monitors its performance against
these. Management also monitors cash and working capital efficiency given current sales levels and seasonal variability. The Company
measures and monitors liquidity risk by regularly evaluating its cash inflows and outflows under expected conditions through cash flow
reporting such that it anticipates certain funding mismatches and ensures the cash management of the business is within certain tolerable
levels. These cash flow forecasts are reviewed on a weekly basis by management. The Company mitigates liquidity risk through continuous
monitoring of its credit facilities and the diversification of its funding sources, both in the short term as well as the long term. As at December
31, 2020, unrestricted liquidity was $661,531 comprised of cash and cash equivalents, debt and equity instruments and its undrawn revolving
credit facility.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company has taken the following actions to support its liquidity position:
• The Company applied for the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy, which has materially contributed towards the Company’s cost savings
initiatives and allowed for more of its employees to be returned to work during the year.
• During the year the Company exercised its $125,000 credit accordion available under its Senior Secured Credit Agreement, thereby
increasing its total revolving credit facility to $175,000, with a standby fee of 20 basis points. Any amounts borrowed under the revolving
credit facility must be repaid in full by May 31, 2024. As at December 31, 2020, the Company’s unrestricted liquidity is $661,531, excluding
its unencumbered real estate portfolio comprising of land and buildings.
The following tables summarize the Company’s contractual maturity for its financial liabilities, including both principal and
interest payments:

The contractual cash flows have been included in the tables above based on the contractual arrangements that exist at the reporting
date and do not factor in any assumptions for early repayment. The amount and timing of actual payments may be materially different.
Contractual cash flows presented in the above maturity analysis table for lease liabilities, loans and borrowings and convertible debentures
include principal repayments, interest payments, and other related cash payments. As the carrying amounts of these liabilities are measured
at amortized cost, the future contractual cash flows do not agree to the carrying amounts.
The Company’s credit facilities and convertible debentures are further discussed in Note 14.
Market risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices.
Market risk is comprised of three types of risk: interest rate risk, currency risk, and other price risk.
(a) Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market
interest rates.
The Company is exposed to cash flow risk on the term credit facility and the revolving credit facility, and to fair value risk on the lease liabilities
and convertible debentures due to fluctuations in interest rates. Fair value risk related to the lease liabilities and convertible debentures
impacts disclosure only as these items are carried at amortized cost on the consolidated statements of financial position.
As well, the Company’s revenues depend, in part, on supplying financing alternatives to its customers through third-party credit providers.
The terms of these financing alternatives are affected by changes in interest rates. Therefore, interest rate fluctuations may impact the
Company’s financing costs for retail sales financed using these alternatives, and may also impact the Company’s revenues where customers’
buying decisions are impacted by their ability or desire to use these financing alternatives.
(i) Interest rate sensitivity analysis
The Company’s net income is sensitive to the impact of a change in interest rates on the average indebtedness under the term credit facility
and the revolving credit facility during the year. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company’s average indebtedness under the
term credit facility was $90,000 (2019 - $120,000) and under the revolving credit facility was $nil (2019 - $nil). Accordingly, a change during
the year ended December 31, 2020 of a one percentage point increase or decrease in the applicable interest rate would have impacted the
Company’s net income by approximately $666 (2019 - $888).
(b) Currency risk
The Company is exposed to foreign currency fluctuations since certain merchandise is paid for in U.S. dollars. This risk is offset to the extent
that foreign currency costs are included in product costs when setting retail prices. Accordingly, the Company does not believe it has
significant foreign currency risk with respect to its inventory purchases made in U.S. dollars.
(c) Other price risk
The Company is exposed to fluctuations in the market prices of its portfolio of debt securities. Changes in the fair value of these financial
assets are recorded, net of income taxes, in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as it relates to unrecognized gains and losses.
The risk is managed by the Company and its investment managers by ensuring a conservative asset allocation.
23. Insurance Contract Risk

Certain subsidiaries of the Company are responsible for the insurance business and monitoring and managing the financial risks related to
the Company’s insurance operations. This is done through internal risk assessment reporting and by compliance with regulatory requirements.
TGLI provides group insurance coverage for life, accident and sickness covering personal credit card debt; and group coverage for life,
accident and sickness covering other personal short-term debt. TGI provides group coverage for loss of income and property covering
personal credit card debt; group coverage for loss of income and property covering other personal short-term debt; and four and five-year
term commercial property coverage. The principal risks faced under insurance contracts are that (i) the actual claims and benefit payments
or the timing thereof, differ from expectations. This risk is influenced by the frequency of claims, severity of claims, actual benefits paid and
subsequent development of claims; (ii) the risk of loss arising from expense experience being different than expected; and (iii) the risk arising
due to policyholder experiences (lapses) being different than expected. The Company’s objective with respect to this risk is to ensure that
sufficient reserves are available to cover these liabilities.
The overall risk of the insurance operations is managed by diversifying across a large portfolio of insurance contracts and limiting the
benefits that the policyholder stands to receive. The Company, therefore, has a defined maximum exposure which enables it to effectively
manage the overall risk.

24. Capital Management

The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to:
• ensure sufficient liquidity to support its financial obligations and execute its operating and strategic plans; and
• utilize working capital to negotiate favorable supplier agreements both in respect of early payment discounts and overall payment terms.
The capital structure currently includes debt and equity securities, lease liabilities, convertible debentures, term credit facility and borrowing
capacity available under the revolving credit facilities (note 14). As at December 31, 2020, $174,007 is available to draw on under our $175,000
revolving credit facility, as the borrowing capacity is reduced by ordinary letters of credit of $993 primarily with respect to buildings under
construction or being completed (December 31, 2019 - $649). The Company exercised its $125,000 credit accordion, during the current fiscal
year, as a precaution due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
As at
Current portion of lease liabilities 73,476 70,601
Current portion of loans and borrowings – 25,000
Convertible debentures 441 48,788
Lease liabilities 327,227 342,093
Loans and borrowings 90,000 70,000
Total shareholders’ equity 1,016,003 915,764
Total capital under management 1,507,147 1,472,246
Under the SSCA, the financial and non-financial covenants are reviewed on an ongoing basis by management to monitor compliance
with the agreement. The Company was in compliance with these covenants as at December 31, 2020.
The Board of Directors reviews and approves any material transactions out of the ordinary course of business, including proposals on
acquisitions or other major investments or divestitures, as well as capital and operating budgets. Based on the Company’s borrowing
capacity available and expected cash flow from operating activities, management believes that the Company has sufficient funds
available to meet its liquidity requirements at any point in time. However, if cash from operating activities is lower than expected or
capital costs for projects exceed current estimates, or if the Company incurs major unanticipated expenses, it may be required to seek
additional capital.
The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements, other than with respect to its insurance subsidiaries.
Restriction on the distribution of capital from Trans Global Insurance Company and Trans Global Life Insurance Company
For purposes of regulatory requirements for TGI and TGLI, capital is considered to be equivalent to their respective statement of financial
position equity. Regulatory requirements stipulate that TGI must maintain minimum capital of at least $3,000 and TGLI must maintain
minimum capital of at least $5,000.
In addition, the Company is subject to the regulatory capital requirements defined by The Office of the Superintendent of Insurance of
Alberta and the Insurance Act of Alberta (the “Insurance Act”). Notwithstanding that a company may meet the supervisory target standard;
The Office of the Superintendent of Insurance of Alberta may direct a company to increase its capital under the Insurance Act. As at
December 31, 2020, TGI’s Minimum Capital Test ratio was 513% (December 31, 2019 - 443%), which is in compliance with the requirements of
The Office of the Superintendent of Insurance of Alberta and the Insurance Act.
For TGLI, the Life Insurance Capital Adequacy Test (“LICAT”) replaced the Minimum Continuing Capital and Surplus Requirements (“MCCSR”)
effective January 1, 2018. As at December 31, 2020, TGLI’s LICAT ratio was 534% (December 31, 2019 - MCCRS 416%), which is in compliance
with the requirements of The Office of the Superintendent of Insurance of Alberta and the Insurance Act.
25. Commitments and Contingencies

(a) Pursuant to a reinsurance agreement relating to the extended warranty sales, the Company has pledged debt instruments amounting
to $2,451 (2019 – $5,777).
(b) In the normal course of operations, the Company is party to a number of lawsuits, claims and contingencies. Accruals are made in
instances where it is probable that liabilities have been incurred and where such liabilities can be reasonably estimated. Although
it is possible that liabilities may be incurred in instances for which no accruals have been made, the Company does not believe that
the ultimate outcome of these matters will have a material impact on its financial position.

26. Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows

27. Related Party Transactions

Balances and transactions between the Company and its subsidiaries, which are related parties of the Company, have been eliminated
on consolidation.
The Company has a 50% ownership interest in a joint operation “Beedie/Leon’s Delta-Link Joint Venture.” This joint operation developed land
into a 432,000 square foot distribution centre which the Company occupies in Delta, British Columbia.
Key management compensation

Key management includes the five senior executives of the Company. The compensation expense paid to key management for employee
services during each year is shown below:
For the Year ended

Salaries and other employee benefits 7,462 5,904
28. Government Grants

In April 2020, the Government of Canada announced the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy (“CEWS”) in order to help employers keep
and/or return employees to work in response to challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. In the second quarter of 2020, the Company
determined that it met the employer eligibility criteria and applied for the CEWS in order to be better positioned to return many of its valued
associates back to work as soon as possible. As at December 31, 2020, the Company has received instalments of $31,559. The total amount
claimed for the year ended December 31, 2020 was reflected as a reduction to selling, general and administrative expenses. There are no
unfulfilled conditions or other contingencies attaching to the current CEWS.
29. Comparative Financial Information
